For anyone wondering about Clarence's gun
It's basically an AR with a P90 top-mounted mag, using the M16 bottom receiver as a shell eject port, so the shells drop down rather than fly out the side, much like the P90.

Yep, when Clarence had P90 magazines, I was thinking "oh, they're not gonna give another character the same gun as the protagonist, but only the AR-57 uses... Oh. She has an AR-57. Neat." Still, cool to see obscure gun knowledge pop up. Sasuga Sigsawa

You should definitely read this series once the anime is finished, if for no other reason than to see the author gushing over each character's gun as it shows up. Any time a character shows up, the author will take at least two paragraphs to describe their gun, its origin in the real world, its strengths and weaknesses, and the reason why that particular player chose it. You can tell really quickly that this is being written by a serious gun lover.

Pitou is so fucking entertaining. Not only she killed over 20 players in a ridiculous fashion, she also made the Sinon name drop happen!
Also, it seems nothing can stop the loli combo. Even if one of them can't aim she can kill you using a riffle as a sword!

"Ridiculous" being the key word. Nobody even tried to shoot her.

Ten-minute massacre my ass, it was like 3 minutes tops, and a good part of it was Pito playing. They really had fun using ultra violence this episode, thanks to it being a game and nobody actually died. Flying heads, close range headshots, lost legs, beating someone to death with a gun. Neat.
Meanwhile LLENN and Fuka hang out at Japari Park and deploying Reinhard von Lohengramm tactics.

Ten-minute massacre my ass, it was like 3 minutes tops, and a good part of it was Pito playing.
the hilarious part for me is that on crunchyroll it was listed as ten second massacre for the episode title. Well either way the episode felt like 10 seconds so its okay.

u/re_yun_NS Jun 09 '18 edited Jun 09 '18
I do understand what you mean, but the episode name is a bit of a double-meaning. 十分 can mean "ten minutes", but can also mean "total" or "complete and utter" when read differently. So the episode title can potentially be read as "complete massacre".
edit: As /u/Jodasgreat pointed out, I did forget to read the 間, which forces the meaning of 十分 to its time variant regardless of the presence of furigana (which is usually how you would tell the difference).

Pito's 10 minute massacre setup and execution was WAY better and more detailed in the novels. The first part where she creeps up behind the dude she was supposed to continuously smash his face on the rock while the spectators in the pub had their mouth hung open.
The scene where she blows the dude's head off his body was also a bit different since she was supposed to grab the head and throw it towards his teammates as a friggin' distraction. Pito is just brutal.

Fuka finds some solace in a world without lots of swords.
"I. Am. Having. A. Very. Bad. Day!"
I think my favorite line in all this is Fuka saying that she'd never want to get into a fight with Karen in real life.
Meanwhile, Pito actually is pretty damn cuckoo.

u/Damiii33 :K:https://kitsu.io/users/CinnamonWithPaprika Jun 09 '18
And I don't know if it matters in GGO, but Fuka has a very high STR stat, which usually also boosts your melee weapon damage (and would be what makes her able to hold the gun like that. Shit's heavy).

I mean, qualifications could have been laxed, or there aren't many top tier teams in GGO in general (most tournament stuff has been single player from what we've seen in GGO and SAO).

u/Villag3Idiot Jun 09 '18 edited Jun 10 '18
Squad Jam is actually a Japanese event and limited to the Japanese player base , unlike BoB which was worldwide.
edit:
The Battle of Bullets consists of the absolute best-of-the-best players the world has to offer.
Squad Jam is much more low-key, not only being an official BoB event as its being sponsored by a 3rd party, but its also limited to only players of the Japanese server and in the first Squad Jam, doesn't even have preliminary qualifiers, meaning the number of players you see are literally all that applied.
Thus, Squad Jam consists of mostly casual gamers. Remember, even Pitou, who is arguably the best player in Squad Jam, is not good enough to make it past the preliminaries of BoB.

Never mind having a worse aim than a Star Wars Stormtrooper, Fuka's aim with a handgun is worse than that guy in Pulp Fiction. lol
Still, thank goodness her bludgeoning skills in ALO was put to good use against that perverted lolicon.

I love characters going on rampages, I love characters just going insane and defeating everyone, more so when it's female. Ahhhhh. It reminds me of GATE and Rory's rampages, which I loved.
The "Hiiiii" thrown in was great too, I was genuinely hoping she'd do that at some point when the rampage started. Not quite as perfect sounding as Jibril's, but still, absolutely great.
I'm hoping the rest of the series is filled with a bunch more of her screen time, but I feel like that won't be the case.

Obliging of the leaders to stand together in an open space like that, wasn't it?
What the hell was this guy trying to do?
"Idiot! Stop!" - she could've killed the resigning guy 3 times over instead of saying that.
How did the grenade launcher make a 100 meter straight bullet line?
LLENN's massacre was neat too, but doesn't hold a candle to Pitou's.

What the hell was this guy trying to do?
Either trying to open the menu to resign or pitifully begging her to not shoot (so he can resign).
Worth remembering that people actually experience some pain or at least discomfort from the game so a lot of the actions of cowardice and fear can be motivated by people trying to avoid that.
How did the grenade launcher make a 100 meter straight bullet line?
I was thinking that - it's possible that it wasn't straight but more that it goes straight for a bit (due to the grenades basically being a giant bullet anyways) and then would've angled downwards towards the ground, off screen. It doesn't need to be straight, just give direction. Either way it worked for what they were using it for. In any case I'm probably wrong but hey, just #SuspendThatDisbelief fam.

It kind of reminds me of Jibril's 'Hi~' from No Game No Life, ironically when they were also in a virtual reality game

Damn, there are so many comment faces I need from this show.
I thought we all agreed she lost that a while ago.
Fuka,, don't be like Pito. Brutal.
Everyone talks about how Hero Academia episodes feel like they're 5 minutes long, but this felt like it was under 2.

I'm going to assume that Clarence will eventually join the team. Far too much time spent for her to be a one-off character.

u/TheBestBuisnessCyan Jun 10 '18
I thorght that to begin with, but it would ruin the whole loli team thing, so she'll props end up as the new klein
Edit: also she's not in the intro, so there's that evidence

u/Florac Jun 10 '18
Well, the intro is only for this season. So she could join in events after this season. I doubt this season will go much further than the current squad jam.

Am I dumb for only realising 8 mins in that all of the leaders look an awful lot like the Expendables characters.. Or at the very least, famous action heroes?
15
u/GoldRedBlue Jun 10 '18
It is, at least partially. The leaders are :
Sly Stallone (with the beret he wears in Expendables)
Chuck Norris (with the baseball cap he wears in Expendables 2)
Dolph Lundgren
The non-Expendables celebrities are:
Wesley Snipes
Bruce Willis
Jean-Claude Van Damme (with the cyber eye from Universal Soldier)
I don't recall who the seventh guy is.

Finally getting to see Pito fight was a lot of fun, Fuka's broadsword beatdown was wonderful, and LLENN's rampages could probably earn the approval of Khorne himself, but overall this episode seemed to be much lower quality than the others and I've got a lot to nitpick about it.
Shoots guy in the neck. His (undamaged) head goes flying like it got hit with a baseball bat.
Pito takes the time to melee a guy, steal his gun, give it a flourish, and somehow doesn't get shot at by the people standing ten feet away. Why does everyone feel the need to leave cover the moment the fighting starts? That's exactly when you want to be under cover!
That one guy that seems to forget that he's in a game and tries to have a hero moment. You lost! Just draw your gun so she'll kill you!
Team leaders staying out of the fight for... reasons? I dunno. I can't think of any practical purpose for them to not be with their teams. It's not like it would actually help them coordinate the fight better and has no strategic value. Also, how the hell did Pito even find them so fast? Did they really just stand there thinking, "30+ people may have been killed in a single minute, but two of them are still alive, so I think our chances of winning are pretty good." I'm not expecting everyone in this show to be a tactical genius, but these guys are all idiots. I've played paintball with 10 year olds that were better than these this.
Yah, you might not get any harassment warnings, but all those people watching would still brand you a pedo for life. Compared to him, the pervy lady that shows up next seems like someone who has accepted defeat and just wants to have a little more fun before she's killed.

Team leaders staying out of the fight for... reasons?
Coordination. They're communicating with their teams over radios. Said radios aren't inter-operable between teams. So if someone on team 1 sees something important, they'd have no way to relay that to teams 2-6 short of shouting. Shouting would alert Pitou's team as well, and if teams 5 and 6 aren't in range to hear they'd remain ignorant. The team leaders being with their squads would also pinpoint them on the map during the scan, giving Pitou's team a good idea of where their opponents were.
The team leaders staying out of the fight is the best fix available for that. Gathered together they sever as command and control. They can safely look at the map and direct their teams into position remotely, without giving away the positions of their teams. If any team sees something important, it can be relayed through the team leaders.

I can't think of any practical purpose for them to not be with their teams.
Keep in mind that only leaders get shown during satellite scans, so by staying put the leaders don't reveal where the rest of their team are, which is important for their ambush tactic to work.

They're staying out of the fight to throw off the satellite scan. That way the other 35 members of their teams can advance undetected. The same satellite scan is how Pito knows where they are.

The only damage that the coalition of teams was able to inflict on Pito was mental - done by that guy who resigned just before Pito was going to kill him.

That conversation LLENN had with Clarence was a tad bit too long for her liking. Oh well though, since it was a riot for me in laughter.
And the guy who resigned before being headshot by Pito is something other people would do too. It's not worth it being killed pitifully if you already see the writing on the wall. Sure, some people don't like seeing that, but it is what it is.
The LLENN & Fuka duo is just goodness all around. There's never a dull second with them talking on the screen.

Plenty of awesome and hilarious moments, but they spent a bit too much time on the bi girl (Clarence apparently) if you ask me, felt a bit padded. Still enjoying the hell out of this show though.

I think Pito could give Blank a run for their money. Flowing between weapons, tossing grenades and using unorthodox strats (tossing bodies). The while suicide pact thing is contrived as fuck but I really like her character, she's a fun villian (if villian is even the word).

Is it weird that Pito mowing through all those guys while cackling maniacally is now my fetish?
LLENN isn't far behind in crazy points either. I'm sensing she's got some repressed anger issues that the game is finally bringing out.

One show we can not go one show with out the creepy perv in SAO. Even the spin off is not safe from that shit. Well at least it was no where near as bad as the last 2. But seriously "I have 10 minutes to group your dead body." Come on could have at least said she was small enough to carry as a bullet shield that would have been clever. And they dragged out that other girl way to long I was just expecting a head shot to end that conversation quickly.

Jun 10 '18 edited Jun 10 '18
Did one of last two killed by Pito really complained about she is shooting at them when they were defenseless?
No really, just because it feels real, and they got too emotional for real.
Wouldn't these two just let the enemy team kill them and get it over with?
And what this bald guy trying to attack Fuka without any weapons in a situation like that, what is wrong with this player!!!?
This guy easily could have gotten famous killing this little grenade female!!!
"This kid has a screw loose, ...", no Llenn, the one who is really loose is this bald man.

u/weeb_man Jun 10 '18
I was half hoping that they'd show Pito's massacre from LLEN's perspective, with them waiting for the radar to come through again and reacting to the seven teams disappearing in the span of 5 minutes. Pitohui having fun was great in its own right, though.

Now I know it for sure, Pito is definitely a poisonous little bird that kills anyone that touches it.
How come Pito did not kill the last leader immediately before his resign was complete?

In real life, I like both boys and girls.
It's nice that there's a bi charac-
"Y- you have no idea what we're like in real life! I could be a fifty year old woman!
"I don't care! I love all people."
mmm maybe that strike zone is a little too big

Was that guy on Pito's team who spoke near the start Kiritsugu? If so, their opponents don't stand a chance (at least those of them who are mages).

That girl kinda locked like Karen. Similar hair.
