You know, the beginning of this episode really makes me think they could have called the tournement something other than Squad Jam. Well, at least it's better than Bullet of Bullets.

Also, once again the future is shown to have bad game design when ZASKAR needs some random guy to point out the idea of a team battle royale. Like, this is an MMO. Team activities should be common.

So wait, corpses linger in SJ, but not in the normal game? That sounds like some contrived BS to let LLENN win like she did in the 1st episode. Like seriously, what other purpose could there be for that?

So how do ranks here work? Are they referring to an ingame system, or are they self-assigned for SJ?

When you think about it, the use of a pineapple as a target is somewhat funny when you take the setting into account. Considering the game seems to be set in post-apocalyptic wasteland, using fruit for target practice seems like a waste of what is most likely valuable food.

While M said about using a knife is probably quite realistic, this is a game. Do you do bonus damage if you hit where the femoral artery would normally be?

Corpses linger in Bo B, too. It's an anti-collusion rule. The question here is, "Why only ten minutes?"

The backstory of Squad Jam is the literal backstory of Squad Jam

Pito-san is so poorly animated. It's like the anime team has something against her

I wonder what relevance this mysterious singer could possibly have to the greater story

Well for one indestructible corpses is not something only LLENN can take advantage and she certainly isn't only GGOA character who does that.

LLENN has pretty thick plot armor, but rules itself are not biased to help her.

Also Pito insulting her own creator was hilarious.

Really weird how it took them so long to make a battle royal kind of event.

Okay, don't laugh if this is supposed to be obvious, but Pito Is actually Kanzaki isn't she? And M is probably her bodyguard or something.

So this is the battle that happened in the first episode?

[up] M being her bodyguard seems unlikely given that he was available for Squad Jam when her concert was on (and yes, I am assuming that Pito is Kanzaki Elsa until proven otherwise).

M struck me as most likely to be her manager

I couldn't help so I spoiled myself on M's idenitity and he actually is the manager though there's more to it than that.

So this was a decent episode. Nothing that made me question the worldbuilding or anything.

Also the fuck was with LLENN shooting all those bullets into that one guy. Like overkill much?

[up][up] Given it took until 3 magazines were used before the 'dead' popped up he must have had both good armor and a lot of HP.

Wait, when did LLENN put the safety on M's gun?

When she pushed his arm away. Like, only a second beforehand. I mean, he was shooting at her right before that.

Alright M, how did you let yourself wind up in this situation? Why would you play a game at Pito's house if you know she's psychotic and prone to staking people's lives on a game?

So how is the writer going to justify LLENN being friends with Pito after learning she's crazy?

Also that black chick had LLENN dead to rights, if she had decided to just shoot in the chest to the left.

Well, LLENN still doesn't know Pito's real identity, meanwhile, Pito has the resources to find out LLENN's identity. Seems she may have wind up without much choice in the matter. Speaking of which, why didn't she go to the police and report that somebody just tried to pull a Death Gun? Zasker's bound to be much more cooperative now that two people are in jail because they commandeered their game for serial killing.

How authors justify mcs dating bathshit crazy yanderes? Well question is if LLENN will just simply trust M about her friend being (potential) murderer.

I think my real problem with it is, can't we just have a series about VR MM Os without some bullshit "You die in game, you die in RL"?

It's just tired at this point, and come off like cheap writing to get some drama in the story. I was invested in the story already without that crap.

As this episode proved, most OP is not speed nor Strenght, but full-luck build. That and M skills is what won battle.

I'm pretty certain LLENN thinks that M is just being overdramatic. I know I would

And, as a viewer, the light tone of the story makes me think that M would probably have gotten off with some light torture if he had died

Yes, LLENN didn't seem to be taking it all that seriously ("Fine, whatever, I'll just win on my own I guess") so I don't think the audience is supposed to either.
