@Rooster @idle_af Hal's reasoning for creating an invalid hand, assuming that is what he did, doesn't have to be due to knowing what the last card is, even if he does know about it. The simplest reason is that, if Baku's plan is to bet it all on the last hand, then he needs to safely exit this...

Takumi's shock from last chapter, and the announcement taking so long, to me, implies that Leader in fact also made an invalid hand. The rules for the upper level stated if both players messed up, they'd remake their hands with another 100 seconds, and the fact that it's markedly taking longer...

@299792458 You're right, that's exactly why I'm so confused. He definitely used the wrong suit, because there's no other explanation for invalid hand, since he clearly visualized the Full House earlier. I agree with you that Hal's going to throw away the 26, be it with an invalid hand or a...

@nhattminhh That didn't happen. Both players know the used cards because it gets announced what each player chose for their hand after the round is over. Fukurou screwed up and chose the King of Hearts as part of his Full House. That's the only King that's currently unavailable, and he already...

@carlshan There's definitely much left for the author to reveal, but I think the idea has to do with the idea of buckling under pressure. Realization that he'd have to play StL perfectly was a pressure that Souichi may have been concerned about, and this feeling of concern made him feel less...

Lalo seems to have realized the problem with playing 44 first at the end of the chapter. The witch pain is affecting Fukurou and Hal to an extreme. This is a really bad situation for Baku.

@Penghaw If Lalo plays 63 next, it can still be formed into a full house of K-K-K-Q-Q, so I don't think that Fukurou would throw away the hand for that. @BossCrab

@BossCrab Karl's alive, he's the reason Kaji got roped into the battleship match. As for the person who stole the money, I think they are dead, and will forever remain nameless, since the bomb went off point blank.

@the9813 Taking everything at face value, with neither player betting beyond the ante: @mariox238 Kushinada, right? I believe at this point he's dead, but it has not been confirmed.

@spence7865 Baku's won what counted as a 1/4 chance before as well. Interestingly enough, he would theoretically still be in the game even if he had lost from a calamity on round 1, although so far behind that he may not be able to recover practically. @idle_af

@idle_af About meta-strategies

@Petrichormus Nice theory, but it's already established as not the reason. In my opinion, Baku's mistake was playing 36 before 45. It could not be helped because he did not understand the Law at the start, but nonetheless, it is a mistake that cost him his singular strongest hand.

@Naiyro The specific circumstances that recommends saving cards comes down to "possibility" of Baku/Lalo having cards that are strict. Let's say Lalo plays 44 next, which should be Q-Q-Q-4-4. If Fukurou has been thinking this entire match through, even though he doesn't know Lalo's last card, at...

Takumi posing on page 7 like he's straight out of Jojo, lol. What exactly does he mean by "you will lose the round" on the last page? Baku/Lalo will lose the hand? This rule seems to imply that, as we had considered a possibility before, 8 and 63 will just end up dead cards if played too late.

@catx3 About Hal and Baku Also, bloodied Hal lost his ahoge. Truly a sad loss.

@Solano Hal forced the Ban and intended to use it to create a situation in which Baku and Lalo could both lose. Unknown to us at the time, the moment Baku enlisted him as an ally, Hal was, by Kakerou's "code", going to aim to make him the winner of the Ban. This is made apparent in chapter 422...

@BossCrab I find it doubtful that Baku didn't see it coming either. The author's thrown us off with Baku's thoughts before. Case in point: The entire Flash-forward in chapter 400. Hard to say what the other possibility of his act could be, though. @Rapidlord Quite possible. This island was a...

@catx3 You make a good point. As for the poker hands, Shion said it was made, so it did eat up the jacks. This doesn't change anything regarding upcoming hands either way though, since 44 would still be a full house of 10 and 7. @Doomroar It's a possibility that Baku might have only lost 3 if...

@idle_af @Doomroar Baku knows for a fact that he loses this hand, because every assumption he's had so far meant that 47 was a royal straight flush. He'd be a fool to raise. Then again I thought he'd be a fool to so much as call, and yet here we are.

@idle_af He can't play 25 on the last round, it won't be a straight anymore, because 26 ruins it. @Rooster Midara was on the lower level, if this is a ref (and it should be), it's most likely Takumi. Which could be relevant since
