@Solano I think Kadokura was already leagues above Nanpou...in his flashback he more or less says he intentionally lost to keep himself sharp, and handily beat Nanpou in the Labyrinth. As for Hana and Bai Long, a bunch of us discussed that during the chapter she killed him. I think the...

I think Yakou's going to claim the right to preside the match because he is still Rank 0 after all. Really pumped to see Takumi in this scenario. We've only really seen him go toe-to-toe with Tatsuki before, so we know how strong he is. Will this turn into a four way battle? Marco and Midara...

OK Douji and Kadokura are so cool. It makes sense that Kadokura's limiter is "off" now, and now it makes perfect sense as to why Douji let Robert K live.

Haha, Douji's got good taste. The Dotty game is pretty great. OK!

@marcyvq It was to characterize Nowa and his family. I think this was the culmination of Nowa's character arc. Remember, when we first got introduced to him he seemed to be a pretty straightforward, almost cruel guy who ordered around ref prospects to collect debts and judged the value of lives...

That's nice that Nowa Shion is a nice person and his father in law and wife both approve of him. I wonder if elder Nowa will stand. Is this building to Midara vs Kadokura? That would be sick considering how much time we've spent with both of them.

lol Nowa realized what the drug smoke was and completely outplayed Midara but Shion got too high and fucked it up Boro and Douji really rose up my ref power rankings

@catx3 Good analysis! I was wondering why they kept lingering on Baku dropping the handkerchief. Ryuusei's phone call is odd too, why do they keep bringing it up? @troita Thats a good point, where's Shion? @saxifraga I think the reason why this battle is important is because Yakou wants to ref...

Boro seems like he knows the right thing to do, but doesn't want to do it. Poor Douji. I wouldn't trust Nowa if I was Midara...wasn't Midara the one who kicked the shit out of his grandson?

@chrischewie Kadokura's brain was altered by what Minowa did to him; Boro makes note of it in Chapter 364. It seems he's much more prone to violence now considering what Boro thinks of his gambling idea. @Takoshi Marco being here is bad news for the referees. I don't believe there's a rule that...

Something I just thought of

@Skyrin It happened at the end of the gamble, when he went to preside over Minowa and Baku's M Time Battle, because he knew Minowa would just attack Baku and would have to be purged. Chapter 145. What Kadokura is referring to is that he realized the depth of Baku's trickery (the shirt swap and...

It's hard for me to comprehend anything Souichi does...yes, he's hyper over-analyzing Baku's actions, but judging from everything we learned about him in the Bookstore and during Air Poker his mind races at breakneck speed analyzing constantly. It's weird to see him verbalizing it though. I felt...

Leader said they can decide it using the vest system or by stealing the handkerchiefs so I'm assuming he's not having them battle to the death. Otherwise it would be basically be a gauntlet of Yakou having ranking battles with every referee. He probably set the condition of "you can't watch...

ohhhhh fug

That spread of the referees on Page 6...nice way to visually combine both of Kadokura's looks...got a wavy pompadour with the eyepatch going on I think Baku's just fucking with Souichi, maybe clarifying that he has his full memories back.

@gr8g No problem! It's a bit of a weird ability, but makes sense in context. @Veshv That makes sense too, I had forgotten about Suteguma's double-layered trap with his "habit" he showed against Fukurou and his inclination to believe in the worst-case scenario every time. I agree with Suteguma...

@gr8g I believe its a psychological thing. Ch. 236 is the flashback and goes over it, Suteguma sees the faces of people he knows he can dominate completely. The way I interpreted it, Suteguma was never able to see faces of adults as a child as a means to cope with his situation; the people...

Was this the end of the batch? I need to know if I should prepare to go through withdrawals. Thanks for all your hard work as always, Team Duwang

I'm interested in how Souichi will act now. He's gone through so much development from when we first saw him in Hangman to now it's hard to think of him and Hal as the same character. Baku will have to make the game count...being able to choose the gamble is the one huge advantage a StL...
