Tomodachi Game, also called “Friends Game,” is a manga by Yuki Sato, who is himself a scriptwriter and designer. This manga has been published since 2013, but the anime aired from April 6, 2022, to June 22, 2022. From the beginning, the anime had great success with the public with a catchy and well-written storyline. Regarding Tomodachi Game Episode 12, the expectation was great and generated a lot of excitement on both sides. What really happened?
You will find out shortly. But first, let’s have a look at the manga.

Overview

Tomodachi Game Season 1 includes the story of Shiho Sawaragi, Tenji Mikasa, Yûichi Katagiri, Makoto Shibe, and Yutori Kokorogi. Five young people who are best friends, but one day they were kidnapped by a group of people. Afterwards, they learned that they had been enrolled in a game called “Tomodachi Game” (the game of friendship/friends). This was because one of them had contracted a debt of 2 million Yen and had registered them for the game. Also, they had the means to reduce or increase their initial debt. It’s a well-written and catchy manga that plays with the psychology of viewers and fans of both the manga and the anime series.

From the beginning, the story leaves a veil of mystery. Indeed, no one knows, apart from the organizer of the game, who the indebted person is who will have to do everything to prevent the others from winning the events and reduce the debt. To the extent that they fail, only the traitor’s debt will be reduced.

Very quickly, the scenario reveals the identity of the traitor to us, which is a bit disappointing at first. But we quickly realize that the real truth hidden behind their friendship is much darker, and only the Tomodachi Game will allow them to discover everything and get to know each other better. Clearly, it is a very psychological manga that anyone will surely love, and fans of mysteries in particular. It’s a manga with an anime to match that will surely appeal to the general public for a few more years.

Tomodachi Game Episode 12: What’s Happened?

Tomodachi Game Episode 11 Review

After the victory of group C in the 3rd game of the Tomodachi Game, the winners had the privilege of spending some time outside before the start of the 4th game, but with the ban on talking about the Tomodachi Game. Sergeant Manabu was the organizer of the friendship hide-and-seek (3rd Tomodachi Game). This is how Yûichi Katagiri and Tenji Mikasa found the outside world again.

Arriving at school, they fell upon Yutori Kokorogi, who erased insults on Makoto Shibe’s table.
She told them that after their return at the end of the 2nd game (Gossip Game), Makoto Shibe and Shiho Sawaragi had been accused of having embezzled the 2 million from the school trip. A few days later, Shibe’s father was charged for all his crimes, and Shibe and Sawaragi disappeared into the wild.
Then in the evening, Tenji and Yûichi received a rather strange call concerning the kidnapping of Kokorogi and the start of the “special edition of the Tomodachi Game.”

Tomodachi Game Episode 12

In episode 12, Yûichi decided to rescue Kokorogi during this edition called “the law of the weakest.” Kuroki is the one who presented this edition in which the weakest and the strongest were tortured psychologically and physically. For this purpose, they resisted the 3 tests, won the test, and were free to leave. These ordeals involved fighting, nail pulling, and stabbing. But it turned out that this was all a charade by Kuroki.

Elsewhere, Yūichi set up a game to destroy Kuroki’s personal relationships with his subordinates. This is how Kuroki lost “the finger cut chifumi.” After that, Yūichi passed out because he had started losing too much blood. For his part, Tenji was momentarily alone for the 4th game. But having regained courage and confidence, Kokorogi decided to support and accompany him for the 4th game. And this, in order to save Shibe, who had contracted all the debts of his father after his father’s death. That’s 500 million yen, even if that meant their debt would also increase.

This is how Tenji Mikasa and Yutori Kokorogi embarked on the 4th game: “the court of friendship.”

Tomodachi Game Episode 12 Review

This was the most difficult episode of the season.

Kokorogi was kidnapped by a gang who claimed they worked for the Tomodachi Game. The boss is a moron who thinks he’s running a parallel version. It’s less subtle and much more violent, so it’s free. The case is actually quite simple. He gets beaten up or his friend gets naked and groped by the gang. It’s very disturbing and totally against the spirit of Tomodachi Game. It’s bloody and unbearable. Regular blows, tearing of nails. Enough to make a miserable quarter of an hour for both the protagonists and the most sensitive viewers.
This episode is hard to watch. This twist is for everyone.

Tenji warned that the Tomodachi Game’s real organization would arrive and stop the bloody masquerade. Yuichi spotted a wolf early on, and his friend was assigned to warn the officials. The young man isn’t done hunting his prey. Our friend’s fatigue is what saved the idiot.

Conclusion

Everyone is free to think what they want from this episode, whether for good or for bad. But given that not everyone can have the same vision of things, it seems better to appreciate the positive side of this ending. And also prepare for the rest, given the announced break, specifically Tomodachi Game Season 2.
