I don't hold it against IzuSubs. They're allowed to do what they want on Christmas, so I didn't mind waiting.

But yeah, Takahashi played us for sure, with last week's death scene being a setup to resemble that iconic scene from EX-Aid and make us think everybody else was in the clear. The real Christmas happened on Christmas instead, with poor Win being used as a brainwashed suicide bomb in a failed attempt to take out Ace, while my eulogy post to Michinaga turned out to be a waste of time pretty much immediately! What a crazy show we're watching.

I definitely pity Win for how he went out. Even when you consider how he was willing to sabotage Ace all in service of a job he didn't even want, he still had a dream he wanted to fight for more than anything, just like the other players in the DGP. But he didn't get to decide how to use his life in the end, as Giroli forced him to die for his will instead. We didn't get the chance to really know Win, but what happened to him was depraved as hell. I'm glad Niram kicked Giroli out of the world to stop him from committing further crimes.

I'm pretty sure the world and civilians are an unwilling part of the DGP as well, considering how the game affects whether they live or die. This would explain how the DGP has the power to overwrite reality and why they "need" a God of Desire before they can do that. They're basically holding the world in an eternal ransom in exchange for weekly entertainment (unless there's golf). After all, sadism is the oldest and most reliable form of that.

I know what you mean, I felt this way about EX-Aid as well but that was by a different producer. I'm hoping Takebe can keep bringing out Takahashi's talent as the show is set to enter the second half soon.

Boo? More like Moo!

I thought the Zombie Raise Buckle was mostly an aesthetic thing to appeal to the viewers and sponsors, but looks like it actually has some zombie functionality that affects Michinaga out of suit. Curious to find out why the DGP would design something to work like that and how Archimedel intends to use Michinaga.
