This is probably when I actually started getting hooked to the series while reading the manga. Loved how Yuuichi deals with his plans, his reveal about being a murderer, and his true intention of destroying the Tomodachi game. Also looking forward to the next game, it was really a fun arc and two of my top 3 characters will show up. Personally, things are just gonna get better from now on. That kiss was really unexpected, but you guys will know soon.

Yes, this is where it all starts, also, the kiss... it was unexpected in the manga as well.. I kinda got suprised.

i think we all did, lol

Yuuichi saying he doesn't need friends and they're just a drag feels like a lie and that yuuichi revealing that he killed 3 people, he said that so that everyone would stay away from him because he wants to keep them safe and that flashback of yuuichi and his mom saying friends are important

I think most of the things Yuichi has said is closer to lies than to truths just to protect his friends. He's taking tsundere to the next level. I mean the ultimate sacrifice to save friendship tends to be proclaiming you don't need friends at all and everything was a lie. That pattern I have seen so many times before, it is the only lie from Yuichi that I did see through this anime LOL.

it's true tho, he doesn't actually need friends as far as what I've read

spoken like a anime only person.

It is I, Anime-Only Weeb. Only the anime that truly show brilliance are worthy of their sources being read by me. Which for this season is Spy x Family. Lol.

So u actually think spyxfamily is better than tomodachi game
U need a check up😭😭😂😂😂😂

That really depends on what the criteria of a good anime are. If it's thrills and suspense, then obv Tomodachi would score higher. If it is wholesomeness or comedy, then it's gotta be Spy x Family or Deaimon. I personally prefer to focus on execution of character development and there it's tied even though I wouldn't call Tomodachi development but more character revelation? Anyways, stay safe, be kind. Telling someone they need a check up because opinions are different is narrow-minded and I hope you'll fix that. It makes it hard to make friends otherwise.

Have u read alice in Borderland?

It sounds like a mash up of one of my favourite books and a game I used to play xD

Dude finally someone who understands and is smart to understand these type of mind set plz be my friend

meme we can be friends :)

Exactly
Truly spoken like an anime only
They don't know who is yuuchi😂😂😂

you sound like a try hard tbh go outside and breath buddy

Yuichi: I'm a killer. I killed 3 people.
Glasses boy: Yuichi! I don't know how to do this. Let me take my glasses off... *kisses him* I always wanted you!

Real love story right there xD

Reminds me of Koi to uso

Nah but i didn't like the kiss part mehn

Better than Twighlight

I'm not gonna say anything since I've read till the latest translated manga chap of tomodachi game. also spoiler yuuichi is a murderer, maybe serial. who knows?

i was waiting patiently for it ^u^

Tenji: and that's how i met your mother

That was the only comment that made me laugh in this unexpected hate rant in the comment section.

This is truly when the show starts
All this has been a prologue for me

It definitely feels like the author intended it to feel like that as well.

Can you tell me where i can find the mana pleased

the mana flows within me.

manga*

Anywhere, but the name is slightly different.

You can find it in Mangago

If you dont kiss your homi your weird

Whatever reason? Id say the reason is homophobia which is pretty cringe of you to admit

Well I want to say the reason why Tenji kiss Yuuichi is not because of homo, it's because that he want to help Yuuichi to clear the third game, which is very impossible to clear it alone, you'll see why. And also because Tenji wants to tell his reason to why he was the traitor and that he needs Yuuichi's assistance to get revenge, you'll see why.
But yes I was kinda cringe too at that scene, but Tenji is straight. And yes I've read the manga.

Ye Ik that, the anime onlys don't tho
They think shits gay fr and therefore gross which is like, come the fuck on, I knew anime fans were cringe but this is just too much

Nah it was obviously fake, plus the ending solidifies it was fake by saying this is his 2nd game and he has a secret reason for continuing

nothing wrong with homophobia
and yes it's gross

homophobia is indeed gross

That sounds ignorant and very effeminate of you to go on the defensive because someone prefers no boys love in their show. He is right this is weird. It's even weirder that even though they have a whole culture and shows that specifically cater to this specific genre, they still manage the intertwine. I did not watch the old man isekai into a girl for that as well. Just because LGBTQ is acceptable we are not trying to make that the new norm. People should be as they are, if you are truly LGBTQ be that and not brainwashed by the culture. Truly in my opinion but when you have media that publicizes shows like RuPaul's Drag Racing, kids are going to look to that and think that's normal. Which it is not no matter how you put it. Accept the people but do not normalize the culture, because the whole point is that we recognize it because they are different from the norm and we are okay with that. Now I am still okay with this show but if gets weirder from here..

You're quite wrong about that and it shows you don't really know the history. LGBT(which used to be different back then) used to be normal and for some reason when time moved forward and we started labelizing everything, being anything but cis and straight wasn't normal anymore.

Neither do I consider the point of support LGBT is being recognized, but accepted and respected instead of them beaten to death in an alley.

It's funny how you talk about brainwashing because if you look at history people have been manipulated into hating LGBT by churches mostly even though in ancient Rome relationships used to not care about genders, there weren't heterosexuals, there weren't homosexuals and no one got judged for having a relationship with the same sex.

In fact there are non-binary, gender-bending etc. ancient Rome gods.

I would like to add to that, that actually, according to Church Academics, the main reason homosexuality was abolished by Christian religion was that in the Greco-Roman culture and society it was considered a norm and it was a big part of the religion-mythology as well. So, trying to get rid of the paganistic elements of the time, homosexuality was one of the casualties along with other random customs.
It's unreal how just a minor thing of “religious convenience” has been causing such an endless discrimination for whole centuries against people that lives up even today.
And considering the fact humans are not the only specie that has a percent of population with homosexual tendencies, if it's in nature why is it not natural? Are Amazon dolphins, American bisons, bats, elephants, giraffes, marmots, lions, bonobos, gorillas, etc "brainwashed by woke culture"? That's a silly claim.

Just because you enjoy reading the gender studies bible "history revisioned" version instead of actual history books, doesn't mean everything in there is right son. People have been manipulated ,and still are, by all sorts of people to do all sorts of things throughout history.

Comparing being grossed out by two dudes kissing (because you are just not into that shit and the human being tends to be a VERY empathetic creature) to actual "oppressed people" in the past is downright idiotic, you guys hijacked this word and started misplacing it everywhere, oppressed people must be rolling in their graves. It is also always some white hetero dude who thinks they are morally superior, because they can watch two guys do a full nelson right in front of him while hysterically cheering from the side but "he is not gay at all".

There is yayoi and yuri genres for a reason, you know for people that enjoy that, I don't like it but I don't go there screaming at the people at how "heterophobic" they are.

And to finalize, yes this kiss is completely out of place, and it was an obvious fujo bait of some kind.

Relying on assumptions when you've no proper argument back? because what I said about ancient Rome is literarily always known and actually in history books, considering there is lot of writing about it found from ancient Rome. There is no historical revisionism involved in what I've said, because I think actual writings we found from ancient Rome time is not contrary evidence.

There is a difference between feeling about something and being vocal about something. I didn't disregarded that manipulation doesn't exist anymore, did I?

I see some points you made but even if this anime would have an homosexual relationship, it still wouldn't be a yaoi genre because it isn't focused on it.

I think this would come without saying, but believing in gods and fairy tales does not change the basic biological truth of the human being. You can safely deem things that roam away from that norm an anomaly, which doesn't mean LGBT people do not deserve to be treated with respect and as human beings, and that is completely different to not feel disgust of an act you would feel disgust yourself upon doing so on a basic instinctive level.

About gods, there is an argument to make for the stories and philosophies religions brought to the world and how they tend to give a path or morals for individuals to follow, but the ancient roman who worshipped his Z gender god is no less disillusioned than anyone that fervently worships any other god (in my very atheistic point of view), the west still lives under those judeo christian values even if you were to strip out every nuance of metaphysical from it. I would be more interested in what kind of religion/rules they followed than the gods themselves.

I didn't want to spoil this to you, but the whole kissing scene feels forced BECAUSE it will not lead to any homossexual relationship, and there could be many other ways to get the same result without it, it was just jammed in for shock value, it is literal stuffed in for no other reason, just for the wrong audience which is why you see everyone going "why even". It's like you went into a pasta restaurant and the chef suddenly brings you chinese food and you're like "what is this shit even doing here? Ok, Are you gonna serve me more chinese food now?", and then the next plate is straight back to pasta with a chef with a troll face saying "just kidding" lol

The point wasn't to if you believe or not believe in gods and fairy tales, the point I tried to make that at some point in history it was way more acceptable than it was like 50-ish years ago and people pretend today that it is the weirdest thing there is and act like it's all new.

"biological truth" here is the thing, we're pretty clueless about a lot of LGBT stuff, all we know sexual orientation is programmed into the brain before birth based on a mix of generics and prenatal conditions. We only have several hypotheses why homosexual behavior exist and yet we don't know it for sure why homosexual behavior exist in humans and other animals.

I am not going to expect people to not be homophobic, but there is no reason to be vocal about it besides to seek to deny or destroy the inherent dignity of people.

"I didn't want to spoil this to you" I know, I read the manga, hence why I said "even if"
There is a difference to ask "why is this shit even doing here?" and "EWWW disgusting homosexuals, they aren't normal people and will never be, blah blah blah."

Really homossexualism has been pretty "normalized" for decades in the west. By definition they aren't "normal" people and never will" quoting it back to you, acknowledging that is not the same as not treating them like human beings (repeating myself), just like any other human being that is not in the "standard" spectrum. You will also see people are not using the demeaning language you used either, and most of people won't.

This really isn't about going around in activism, this is ends up being a fair critique of a show being lazy and throwing cringeworthy shit (for most of its audience at least...) in just for the fuck of it, brownie points maybe? They didn't even do anything interesting with it in a writing perspective, and they have all these "holy shit!" moments of subversion in such a smart way. You might even think I am contradicting myself because I would rather they developed it into something than just throw weird shit and then pretend it never happened the next second, so yeah if you are going to make me cringe at least make it worth it lol

If it was 2000-ish years ago normal but because it got abolished by religions, we need to "normalize" it again hundreds of years later? Demeaning language? rofl. I don't think being a normal person has anything to do with your gender attraction. In a perspective modern civilization isn't normal as well and on the other hand normal is also subjective. Like I've said 50-ish year ago, that is when people started to "normalize" it.

If homosexual behavior happens in nearly all animals, is homosexual behavior really not normal? or make people believe themselves it is not normal, created an ideology of why it is not normal etc.? I also bet no one can give a concrete opinion of why it isn't normal, in general people can't give a structural opinion on their homophobic beliefs. And the major reason for it is because people who are homophobic usually copied the behavior, ideology, physiology of their parents and/or because of their religion/countries belief.

You keep like clinging onto what happened in the show.

So since we want to drop the actual show discussion, which was what I was more interested in, time for class.

Homossexualism isn't "normal" behavior unless you find an explanation as to why a behavior that would drive a species to its own extinction would be standard procedure in nature, there exists no theories for that, they are also not majority in any sphere of the animal kingdom. It looks more like a "glitch" of some kind that has a somewhat high frequency of happening. It very likely has a lot to do with pherormones and how they are interpreted by the brain differently and probably related to something that did not develop perfectly well during the embriologic stage of the individual . I talk about pherormones because that is the most primitive sense we have and share with other animals, smell.

Religions did not "abolish" homossexualism at all, as we had already defined (and you even did so yourself so I did not correct you because I agreed), it is something biological, not mental, people that are gay are interested in people of the same sex regardless of what they are taught, they are instinctively attracted to the same sex to the very animal instinct level, the fact they had been oppressed in the past is irrelevant to the discussion, it just means that they still existed and had to hide, and they were also present under wraps in religious institutions to this day.

The sexuality of a person is but a microscopic slice of what makes an individual human being a human being, so maybe we need to define it better, their sexual behavior is what is not "normal" and will not be unless it can be proven otherwise, putting that label on the rest of that human is really unfair. The only reason why we stopped treating homossexualism as an "illness" in the medical field is because it eventually was proven an homossexual individual can live and be as functional as any other member of society and the "ailment" does not increase morbi-mortality rates of the individual by itself.

"the actual show discussion" was never there to begin with.

So many different aspects you can say it's normal or not. besides where are no theories of exactly? However, it's proven that everything did develop perfectly during the embryologic stage, which is why people are quite clueless of why homosexual behavior exist, so many tests have been done for a lot of things but never found an answer, if it was something so simple we would've found an answer. It's true that it's abnormal in a sense of reproduction, but we live in a time where we're overpopulated and even besides that it's a fact not an opinion, but even besides that does it makes it unnatural if it's in nature? what if it's nature way to balance population?

"Religions did not "abolish" homossexualism at all, as we had already defined (and you even did so yourself so I did not correct you because I agreed)"
But Religion did, mostly the Christian religion before the church started to abolish homosexualism was a norm to Ancient Rome and ancient Greece culture and society, and it was basically a convenience for Christianity to get rid of homosexualism.
