English Dub Review: Tomodachi Game “It’s a Game Where You Wait, and Wait, and Wait… and Keep Waiting”

Overview:

The third game, Friendly Hide-and-Seek, begins. Rival Group K, bolstered by an apparent ‘genius’ strategist, proceeds with a clear numerical advantage. Eager to regain Yuichi’s trust, Tenji volunteers to be Group C’s hider, but the couple’s plans are strained by the addition of a new female teammate, Mizuse Maria. Yuichi confidently tells Tenji to “just trust me and wait,” but then doesn’t return for days…

Our Take:

We all know Yuichi has something up his sleeve. Group K just doesn’t know it yet but they’ve already lost. I know that it seems like he’s joining them but I just don’t buy it. Never thought I would feel bad for Tenji but I can’t imagine what going without food or water for days would be like. Part of me wants to think it’s a little bit of punishment for what he did.

This episode was just building up I feel. Yuichi has shown that he is a master of manipulation and deceit. What that means is Group K better be on the top of their game or else Yuichi will definitely have the last laugh.
