Episode Summary & Review
Summary
After Arisu and Usagi find their way to the Beach, the king of the so called utopian haven forces them to help gather the remaining playing cards.
Our Take
The Beach arc starts here, and it’s a mixed bag. The cult compound setup is intriguing, but the episode leans hard on beach party montages and slow-burn paranoia when you just want the games back. Worth watching to get there, just don’t expect the tension of the earlier episodes.
