English Dub Review: Tomodachi Game “There’s No Way I’d Believe That”

Overview:

Dark secrets are exposed as the second game, Bad-Mouth Sugoroku, continues. Yutori is devastated when a traumatic episode from her past is revealed, leading her to suspect the only other person who knew—Shiho. As debts increase, the five friends are driven further apart. With no one else to turn to, Yutori clings to Yuichi for help, and Yuichi pledges his support.

Our Take:

The traitor was revealed this episode and I have to say it was a fairly decent surprise. Not completely out of the left-field but also not quite who you probably expected. Their reasons for why they are doing this is also pretty interesting because it’s not for money or anything like that but some twisted version of love or obsession it seems. Speaking of love, I am wondering what Yuichi told Yutori. It had the looks of a love confession but he seems sneaky in his own way.

Yutori’s secret wasn’t as bad as they made it out to be. It seemed like she was selling her body to men for money but it was more compensated dating than anything. Some sketchy things happened for sure but she seemed to avoid the worst of it luckily. No Rent-a-Girlfriend whimsy here.
