"If someday you vanish, it'll be the moment you misjudge something." Lalo finally gets to learn what he actually misjudged, given his apparent confusion the last chapter.

First time I saw it I thought Lalo hiding air-bios came absolutely out of nowhere, but after thinking about it, it was actually clearly hinted at that he had extra air. Mostly due to that 1 Bios bet. He so much as said a 2 Air-Bios advantage would be enough, so why would he allow a 2-Bios...

@Lithe Since Lalo still has 10 (?) Bios left to work with, maybe we'll get some explanations from Baku's end while he waits on those to be used up. I'd like to know exactly what he was sure of as well, since for everything to play out as well as it did is on another level of absurd. Though I...

Kaji looks so distraught when thinking about the relation between Hal and Baku. @catx3 I think they'll have a proper conversation first. Maybe a repeat of the "4 things necessary" for StL, after which Leader would wipe his memory of Baku. @chrischewie I think it came down to the fact that Lalo...

@vaur @BossCrab When he got the hint? I'm not sure what you're talking about. I do agree with your first two points, not so much the third. I also agree with your idea that Baku wanted the Calamity induced. I figured I'd organize my thoughts over what happened from the end of round 2 onwards...

@BossCrab I think Fukurou did sniff out the message, which is what he was thinking about during the 4th round. There was probably another reason he didn't understand what it actually meant though. Which is probably also why Hal was thinking about the time Baku gave him the name. Maybe the idea...

@Jonui I was expecting it to be invalid, but the fact that he went with 4 valid cards still threw me off as well. The reason he didn't make a fully valid hand though, is because since Baku basically wanted to throw the 4th round, it would not matter if he made a valid hand or not. And based on...

@Lithe I think we saw death by shooting and burning, and impalement in card form, but we weren't shown what all 5 were. It'd be quite poetic if the last Witch Pain was drowning though.

@darkknight42062 Correct, except forcibly looping the round would in a literal sense, be a mistake. The point here is that Fukurou failed because he specifically did not make the mistake. However, he couldn't have known if it would be to his benefit or not to forcibly loop the round, since he...

@nareks If you go off the assumption that Baku has about half the deck's worth of cards, and also assume that Baku has a second straight, Hal would consider Baku's last card to be 30, not 25. Even if you expand the range so it's not exactly half the deck, it could be 25, 30, 35, or even 40. It...

@Hellsau Even if the lower level players fold, if the calamity condition is met, chances are it would still happen. That being said, why would there have been a calamity in the 4th round? The cards did not overlap. @Lithe If he managed to strap himself to the chair, I think Baku would die...

@the9813 Well, if the Protoporos "bonus round" was anything to go by... he certainly won't go down without struggling. Reading the chapter a second (third, really) time made me realize the referees are implying there were two "landmines" in play, and the other was apparently by Lalo. What was...

That face, good lord. The endgame reaction faces are always so good, and this is no different. This match has honestly been so good as a reader. Even though we knew so much about the match itself, and the possibilities, we're still left in the dark about the specifics. How exactly did Hal...

@saxifraga That's kinda the point though, whenever we get to see Baku's thoughts, they've almost always held more than one possible meaning. During the tower gamble, and then again with his "chat" with Kyara's corpse, Baku's thoughts would lead us in one direction and turn out to mean something...

@saxifraga It's like that for all of Baku's thoughts for the last 3-4 chapters. There's a lot of ambiguity regarding what the reality of the situation is. I don't think he was gambling on Hal from the start, since the earliest he seemed to figure it out was shortly after his revival. Also, the...

Ah, that spread of Lalo and his allies is great, it's just like the one that started this Air Poker match off, of Baku and his allies. Lalo's scarred by the Protoporos gamble to believe Baku must have Air-Bios, even without Baku having to go ahead and prove it. I'm sure Baku accounted for that...

@Carp That'd be so hilariously stupid, we follow Baku the genius gambler until he dies to teach Kaji the true meaning of gambling. Sounds like some generic movie plot to be honest. @saxifraga He didn't want to give Lalo enough time to figure something out, based on his thoughts. What that...

When things are going as planned, he can't help but whip out the kariume. Even if he's underwater, apparently.

@Rooster Manabe would call it a landmine either way, since Lalo would be "walking into it" if he just up and folds, assuming there is air. The wording is ambiguous as to who the "game over" is referring to, but I suppose that is the point. I don't think the referees believe it to be an empty...

@BossCrab Baku definitely broke the covering for the indicator, the bits of glass remaining on it can be seen in an earlier chapter. I do like the idea of him doing nothing afterwards though, it fits better with the idea of setting up for a trick. I agree that Baku seems to want Lalo to catch...
