A lot to digest
22 February 2023
I'm not quite sure where I stand on this episode. I do think the game they played was interesting but I also do think it was another variation of the tag game they played last season. The clubs characters were alright. Besides Kyuma, the rest of that group I didn't really care for not because of what they did but because of the lack of time we get with them.

On top of that, I do think this game should have ended in this episode. They already introduced it at the end of the first episode and for them to prolong until the third is kind of wasting time. The episode itself can feel like a drag but I don't think it made it that much of a problem.

To me, the best part was Kyuma. He's a unique character that goes by a certain philosophy that had quite an impact in this episode. The first decision he made in the game was questionable but every decision after that was motivated off the fact that everyone in his group was willing to accept death and i'm glad they expanded on that idea and were able to showcase why they think that way.

Looking at this episode, it's pretty much a coin toss. I do think the themes that were brought up were interesting and the game as well was entertaining but I still believe that it should have concluded in this episode.
