GGO Alt Real World Rewatch #13 - July 5th, 2026
The day is here! Squad Jam 3! I just watched this arc in time for today's post.
The teams of Squad Jam 3 begin showing up at the starting area. We see MMTM and SHNC agree to not worry about each other until they're the last two, as they both have opponents they want to take on. We also see a strange man hand out some teams a hidden message, detailing a team up plan against the top ranked teams. Other notable players, Clarence, Shirly, the Machine Gun squad, and an incognito T-S. Lastly, the late as always LPFM arrives.
When the match begins, it's made clear that the main ranked teams were spawned across from each other, at the edges of this map with a sinking island. The cooperating teams spring into action with flares to team up against LPFM (being defeated by a combination of tactics and two saboteurs, Clarence and Shirley), MMTM (uses the forest to prevent use of their flares), and SHINC (uses the flares to ambush other teams). T-S hides on top of a building and quickly gets trapped up there as the water continues to rise.
When the teams are low enough, a special rule is announced. This rule forces a player from each remaining team to betray their own, as weapons are locked for a bit and a vehicle comes for the betrayers to be summoned to the ship in the center of the map, named "There Is Still Time".
Pito proudly touts herself as the betrayer, and leads Team Betrayer with David, Shinc, and a few other various players. As they try to cut off entry points for their former comrades, the numbers continue to dwindle, both on the betrayer's team and a few of the other teams. LLENN and Fuka make it inside just barely with M thanks to propelling him forward with plasma grenades. However, the scan terminal reveals LPFM to be right across from the remainder of SHINC. SHINC strikes first, but all except Tanya are blown up with a plasma grenade. Tanya's gun jams, and she tries to unsuccessfully choke out M with her legs before dying herself.
The remainder of MMTM is eliminated through Pito's control of the ship's sprinklers and electrical wiring. She also crashes the ship into the building holding T-S. As soon as the only teams remaining are LPFM and Betrayers, Pito crosses the betrayers, killing the member from T-S and dueling David. During this duel, Pito reveals to David she's not actually a betrayer, LLENN is. After David is gone, the remaining contenders include all original members of LPFM, Pito, and Eva.
Pito reveals LLENN's hidden status and instructs M to crown the winner. Eva saves LLENN, now recognizing each other on the same team, and they begin dueling it out with Pito and Fuka. Fuka launches a grenade at Eva who jumps down and lands the final hit on Fuka before dying from fall damage herself.
LLENN and Pito have yet another duel as the ship sinks, with LLENN delivering the final blow. M holds LLENN above him as the ship finishes sinking, ensuring her victory as Team Betrayer.
Today, we're watching the beginning of Season 2 Episode 1 until 1:38, then skip ahead until 8:53 and finish the episode out. From there, watch each episode 2-7, and then on Episode 8 you'll stop at 22:40.
We'll be back on July 26th to wrap up the credits scene of Episode 8, and then we have July 31st, August 4th, and August 16th will be the final one.
