A big thing to keep in mind is Yuuichi is fully aware that his methods are not air tight most of the time, they can depend on decisions made by others but he has an almost supernatural understanding of human psychology and an incredible ability to lie, so he can just get away with it

[@LoganWH8]

It was stupid of the other four students to accept the game, friend or not, the traitor was willing to throw them all under the bus. By playing, they get either a negative outcome of massive debt or a neutral outcome of leaving with nothing more or less than they started with, but the traitor gets two positive outcomes, either total forgiveness of their debt or it being cut down to a fifth. Either way, the person who put them in this terrible situation gets the better end of the deal.

[@eshandas3645]

Everyone has different goals for playing it, and one of them created the game in the first place

Agree, that part made zero sense like is this an anime or smthng why do i feel a strong vibe of the power of friendship, anyone that has even a tiny bit of logic and critical thinking would demand to know who did this first bfr making any decision nd then proceed to refuse to play anywy, if your friend just dragged u into debt he is not your friend anymore nd u r not expected to do shit not morally nor legally so my answer to this movie is: wtf!.

[@rudolphderainbow8625]

Tenji, the glasses guy actually wanted revenge against Shiho, not only the game. Shiho was the reason why one of his friends (in the flashback) got into the friends game. They were doing investment for a business Tenji thought up, but one of them fell in love with Shiho and something happened and they lost all their money. Tenji thought that Shiho must've done something to his friend and that's why in the second round of the game Tenji made Shiho to be almost the winner.

[@peterthomas187]

It is awfully telling how Eastern/Asian death games consider debt to be worse than death and that the poorest in society are the perfect fodder for death games. Western games, on the other hand, tend to focus on themes, strategy or skill sets. Nothing wrong with any of this (well, in fiction... irl that would be messed up haha), but it's definitely an insight into the psychology of different cultures.

Man, I would genuinely love a full-length movie of this. Like actually having you, the Anime Beat guys, and NerdExplains be recruited as lifelines on one of these games. Maybe people actually extrapolate whether there *are* loopholes at all based on whether those kinds of lifelines are available. Or maybe it's full on horror, with these guys getting their own team and having to move them through these kinds of games without losing anybody, and part of the problem's that a) the people on the team aren't revealing all their relevant information right away (maybe because they have different win conditions, they're physically unable to (think colour blindness), or they just don't trust offering it), and b) each of these little MasterMind Breakers only get a snapshot of how things look. Like they see the static blueprints but not the moving traps, or they see how the end 'win' room *should* look but they have to get everyone working together to set the room up that way. But I would genuinely enjoy a death game *or* a debt game where it's some super smart strategists narrating what everyone should be doing - and, even better, what everyone should have done - as the players actually go through it. Maybe the lifelines are based on how many other people these guys have already seen fail at a puzzle, which gives them more info to work with? :)

[@Oxios]

@@AgCharmsStudios Of course you don't unalive the mascot right away. You just have to do enough damage to make them a believer. They control the entrance and exit so it would be in their best interests not to be trapped in a room with people who are intent to keep harming them until they are let out. Most bad guys are clock punches and aren't willing to die for their bosses. Aside from that this obviously works best in the initial meeting with the mascot, but can be used at any time. Especially in round 3 where they seem to have free movement, food and water and working cell phones. Granted the cell phones could be cut out if necessary but might as well try. Besides, the fact that violence is not supposed to be used against the other team would indicate that this game is not being run by people who have unlimited funding to make people disappear without question, so they would want to avoid someone actually going missing if at all possible and that would include the mascot or anyone else helping run the game from the inside. The only thing to figure out would be how they can repeatedly abduct people in their sleep, but right now this power seems to be used primarily by people who may not wholly have the stomach for violence and that cannot be underestimated. They could make an example of someone with force at any time but they are specifically choosing to allow the players to just dread themselves into compliance.

[@ichigoeater]

I just want to say, I HIGHLY recommend the Tomodachi Game manga to anyone who liked this. Youichi is a serious badass, and is everything you want in a death/debt game protagonist. I'm talking Light Yagami-style cunning and psychopathy, while still holding onto his (secretly nonexistent but forcibly made) morality where his friends are concerned. The fact that I thought Youichi was going to be the annoying 'lets-survive-together white knight type (which he technically is~) made him all the more enjoyable when you slowly discover what a hot mess he is inside. Even when he makes the wrong decision, he'll MAKE IT into the right one. Definitely want him on your team, or you're fated to lose.

3:35 the actual best strategy is to either drop out and risk nothing or not find out who the traitor is. Dropping out is a great option here because someone who is so responsible to get themselves in that much debt will not be a good friend anyways. They are probably gonna be one of those guys who just begs you for money constantly and nobody wants that. If you do agree to play the game dont find out who the traitor is because then you create distrust in the group. It isent important that you know who the traitor is because the traitor will do all they can to win since if they win they get off their debt. The traitor will probably tell everyone in the group about the game since they want to have the best chances of winning and not being in debt. The strategy is either to have so little trust that you abandon your friend or you have so much trust that you form a great team.

[@Lyhiel1108]

Well you may be right if it was a different group playing the games, but in this case, the traitor doesn’t actually care about the money as much as wanting to “destroy the bonds of friendship”. It’s understandable to say they shouldn’t attempt to find the traitor because it’ll cause distrust, but as I said before the whole reason there’s distrust isn’t because they tried to find who the traitor is but the fact that the traitor was deliberately causing distrust. So they had no choice but to find who the traitor is

I would have been gone from the start. No emotional blackmail for me. They refused to provide any evidence that it was even true that a friend was in debt and that he dragged them into it.

Would be better to help by getting a job or help from someone else. It's a stupid bad bet to even start with.

That main character could also have used the oppertunity to talk that was given to him by lying and saying that there were instructions in the card that said the debt would be passed off to someone else. In monitary terms, it doesn't make a difference. He got half off for his question getting a split answer, and then it doubled back to the original amount. However, it allows him to try a plan before the vote on his question started. As it was, he hoped by him not being greedy, and voting with the group would be good enough, and it clearly wasn't.

[@rottencandy2675]

hello^^ Not sure if the rules are entirely the same here, but this is pretty much how they were in the manga. An explaination of the second game: note that it's based on this one board game in Japan. From my understanding you roll a die and the space you land on makes you lose or gain money. However it all evens out; if you hit every space you should reach the end with nothing gained. An important thing to note for Friends Game is that the negative spaces came right at the start. Okay, now for the rules. ▪Once the finish line is crossed, the game ends and whoever crossed it proceeds to the next round. ▪If you did not cross the finish line, then you skip the next round (you aren't out of the game entirely). ▪Each player has three minutes to submit secrets (it can be blank) while in a private voting booth. Once everyone has had a chance, viewers will get to vote on which secret they deem the most unforgivable. The higher the vote count, the more spaces the one it is about will move. ▪The secrets can be lies. However, if someone can prove it is a lie, then the liar moves ahead of the person in the lead. But if someone accuses someone else of lying, the viewers will be asked to vote weither or no the secret was a lie. If they deem it is, the liar is punished, if not, the game will proceed regularly. ▪If no secrets are written, then everyone moves ahead one space. This means that they will all proceed to the 3rd round, since they reach the finish line at the same time. ... I'm confused on your question about the third round. Can you explain it some more?

You can deduce or at least reduce the amount of suspects who the traitor is in the very first room. The option to drop out or continue. The traitor has only one option compared to everyone else which is to have them play the game. You have to convince as many people possible to drop out with you. The traitor will fight as hard as possible to keep as many people or pretend to stay. You can chicken out from dropping out in the end or at least pretend you were convinced to stay. However every person who was down to drop out are more likely to not be the traitor.

[@ForcefieldDown]

[@spiderFern]

Wouldn't challenging the debt in a court of law get them out of it? How exactly would the game makers collect the debt or enforce it? This kind of scenario would require a contract to be valid, and as minors, they could not sign a legally binding contract such as this. If there was no contract, then their lack of consent means this is basically just extortion or kidnapping and ransom, which is a straight-up crime. If they tried to use illicit means to enforce the debt, then that is also a crime and can be reported along with the whole extortion thing.

[@annegriswold2116]

According to the anime, spoiler warning the basic answer is S p o i l e r the people who run the game are powerful and have their hands in many pockets. For example the real reason glasses guy betrayed the friend group is he is seeking answers to what really happened to his Father. When he played the first time, he got out with the warning to not tell anyone about the game. He told his Father, who later is found dead from apparent suicide. He becomes obsessed with his childhood friend the girl with long dark hair, since her Father is on the police force. The girls Father that is the on the police force gives the group the same warning when they finish the third game and are released for the time being, which differs from this since they don't get to leave the game site until now, don't tell anyone about the game. Someone does and there is another body, so yeah its not as simple as going to the cops or a court of law because the game is that powerful. The manga is still on going if you want to check it out.
