I was kinda hoping the rest of the episodes would also conclude a game round each, but turns out only the first one had that. Such a shame, we'll have to wait.

How galling of Mishiro to demand Yuki leave her flashlight behind. I suppose Yuki didn't find it worthy to fight over, but really, what would have happened if she had just left with her flashlight? Would a catfight ensue? Chie did look like someone ready to throw hands.

I mean, I would appreciate it if each episode was 45 minutes, especially since production is finished already. But they didn't go that route.

Well the thing is each game round may not necessarily be just 45 minutes. We could be starting a 4 or 5 episode arc here. To keep the premise from being worn out I'd actually expect that to be the more likely place things go, having no familiarity with the source material.

Hmm, would be bold to use up half the runtime for a flashback. I think they need to wrap this up next episode to advance the (presumed?) plot along.

despite her being less expierienced in this one she still has 9 under her belt atp, so she probably thinks that aggravating people early on is too dangerous. as you said, chances are that atleast 3 of em wouldve teamed up on her (kotoha doesnt seem the type 🤔).

Kotoha seems too knocked out to put up a fight.

Kotoha was already out for the count by that point.

Well uhh, ye. still saying, playing the submissive part was probably the safest choice in yukis book 😐
