He wasnt expecting to face off against a close-knit band.

Whichever team has the most collective points at the end of the two-hour time limit wins and lives.

Players can gain points via three methods:

Battle.

If you touch an active member of the opposing team, the player with more points wins.

The winner gains 500 points, and the loser loses 500 points.

After a battle, players become inactive and must touch their base to become active again.

Six items worth 500-3000 points are hidden in shipping containers throughout the gameplay area.

Once players find and touch the item, they will gain the points it holds.Base.

But theres a catch: Players in contact with their base have infinite points.

And if someone drops below 0 points you guessed it yer dead.

Meanwhile, Tatta will guard their teams base.

And, two, Niragis new ability to spit blood from his internal bleeding into others faces.

Only one item remains on the game board, and its worth 2,500 points.

Kuina finds a quiet space to be alone.

Niragi reverts to his nihilistic, destructive ways, taunting Tatta for not doing enough and physically assaulting Usagi.

Like Usagi, hes going to fight until his last breath.

Expired Visas

Kyuma is one part competitor, one part mentor for all.

Lets give a finger to the fear thats holding us back.

I really need to know the name of Kyumas band.

Nope to depictions of sexual assault that happen for no good reason.

We get it: Niragi is the worst.

I didnt need a second scene that involved him attempting to rape Usagi to get the point across.

In this context, the fact that he is the first to die is pretty embarrassing.

You two, hold hands.

Kyuma inadvertently stumbles across Usagi and Arisus burgeoning love.

His first question is: Can players go home if they win all of the games?

It is strongly implied that if Arisu wins, Kyuma will tell him what he knows.

If you want to know the truth, he tells Arisu, then battle with all your might.

I wont forget you.

Not even for a single second.

Kyuma, to Shitara.

As far as comforting words to a dying friend, theyre pretty good ones.
