[Pineapple924]

Once again, I'm too late to add anything new to the discussion, so I'll just talk about the little things in this episode.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I honestly thought that song Poppy sang in that last episode sounded too upbeat for a game like KR Chronicle. But apparently the Bugsters are using it and Poppy as a way of getting civilians to play the game, so I suppose in that sense it does work.

Turns out Enchilada645 almost perfectly predicted the last fight scene in the previous episode discussion thread.

"I already have an idea for how the scenario is going to play out based on preview images. Emu's already probably seen one Game Over at this point. So he's reluctant to fight them and loses all of his stuff including his belt so the Ride Players begin taking his stuff.

In comes Para-DX because he has a hard on for Emu and probably won't let anyone else beat him. He utterly wrecks the Ride Players and they game over while they drop his stuff, giving us that scene from the preview.

I'll laugh if I just predicted the episodes climax just like that."

I loved the Charlie Brown moment where all the RidePlayers take Emu's stuff:

Player 1: "Gashacon KeySlasher!!"

Player 2: "Gashacon Breaker!"

Player 3: "Gashacon Sparrow!"

Player 4: "Why I didn't get anything?!"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lastly, due to the other replies talking about why people would buy up KR Chronicle, I really don't want to make it seem like I'm attacking Fish. But I do think there are some additional reasons as to why people would play the game.

1. The only people who knew about the malicious intent of the game were Dan, Parad, and the Riders. And with Dan dead, Parad and the riders have no reason to tell the Minestry of Health or anybody about how dangerous KR Chroncle is when the was no foreseeable way for it to ever come into existence until now.

2. Genm Corp is run by a completely new CEO who has done nothing wrong in the eyes of the public so far, so logically people have no reason to assume that he is also planning on destroying humanity.

3. Poppy only seems to tell people about the "If you die in the game, you die for real!" situation as they're dying.(which is rather dark now that I think about it.)

4. Technically, the life threatening risk of using KR Chronicle is only a risk if you lose. According to scans, Nico could use KR Chronicle and be completely fine due to how she's on par with M in terms of gaming abilities.
