@Doomroar 2.5 years passed from when Hal "died" and Usogui attempted StL. We know Tatsuki is alive, so Kakerou isn't passed along the family line through StL matches. It's not likely that Hal, when he met Baku, was Leader of Kakerou, since in the present day Kakerou was freaking out over the...

@LuffyKun It's part of Baku's description of November 23rd, 1998 during the labyrinth match. Basically Hal fucked up his Pooyan run and drugged him and went to a gamble match in his stead. It's in ch. 90. How much of that is actually true, we don't really know.

Baku got his money off of Samemaru, the same guy Kaji faced for his very first personal Kakerou gamble. On top of that, the guy with the cane was implied to be a danger by Souichi's words. It's gotta be Q-taro, right? The things in front of us are happening for a second time indeed. We've been...

@Ghetsis Here's the specific page where it was said: https://mangadex.org/chapter/204635/3 I don't think he ever specifically said Kaji needed to be saved, it was just the reason he said it's better for Kaji to go second. But also, at chapter 98 ( https://mangadex.org/chapter/204657/21 ) , it's...

@Ghetsis When re-reading it, it feels like Baku knew what was going to happen with that gamble literally while Kaji was there. If you remember, he said it'd work out if Kaji went second. Baku knew Kaji was going to lose immediately and so he could be saved quickly as well. If he knew Kaji had to...

Is the Karamete one of the base requirements for StL challenge? I wasn't aware it was established as one. I guess it's just that great of an achievement to give as "tribute" to attempt StL, which is why Baku would attempt it both times. Him being the root cause of the Labyrinth games and the...

@goodknife The wager being vague is probably for tension on the reader's part. We still have no idea what Baku's gambling on, because if it were just the shares of the company, Baku wouldn't be gambling to gain anything. @catx3 That seems to be right given what we've seen. Also, unrelated to...

@KeepTheFeather The game they're playing right now is guessing how many of the clams will have the meat sticking to the top of the shell. So they each put a number down on paper and gave it to Kyara. Kyara confirmed they didn't each guess the same number, so one of them will definitely be...

@BigCoffee The absurdity of the martial arts aside, how is it not gambling? The vast majority of gambling manga out there have characters cheating extremely often, so I don't see your reasoning.

@RapidLord I agree that Baku is likely incapable of being physically stronger than he is, since he's a bit too weak to be honest. Obviously as a protagonist, being both absurdly smart and strong would feel a bit less enjoyable, but Baku's physical ineptitude borders on ridiculous. @DQM Remember...

Oh damn, Beirut egg guy was involved with Baku in the past too, huh. Maybe we'll see his and Taka's abilities in this flashback arc (assuming Taka's even around). Baku's explanation of his motives to Hal is pretty interesting, considering that's actually what he did for some of the games we...

I think it's more likely that Eba actually set this meeting up, since otherwise he'd be worried about the fact that there was a second order immediately after completion of the first one, not smiling as he was. Though, that smile felt ominous. I can't tell what Eba's goal is at this point...

If that were to be the case, I think Tatsuki isn't the one to do it. Most likely, he wasn't even aware of the secret contact method between Eba and Souichi. If he were, it would have been brought up alongside the topic of implanting memories back into Souichi that was discussed with the...

@299792458 @Ghetsis Did he actually win the gamble that his "comrade" got sacrificed over? The comments in chapter 33 from Nowa said "to save himself", which means maybe Baku never showed up to the gamble at all. That does tie in more directly with his memory of November 23, 1998. Of note is...

It's clear that present Baku knows about Hachina's memory issues, though there is a question of how exactly he showed up to the bookstore before Hachina. Either he was keeping tabs on it the whole time after losing Surpassing the Leader, or Kakerou's freakout over Tatsuki tipped him off, which...

@catx3 I do think it's a bit odd that he specifically had a stack of 99, unless he took one out just to test Hachina? Since he proposed the match, it may have been to confirm Hachina's sensitivity to touch. In any case, there's something that's been bothering me. In the flashback for memory...

First thing Hachina does is compliment that damned eyepatch, lol. Past Hachina getting played by Baku literally within minutes of meeting, although Baku intentionally giving him 990k instead of a million means he never actually wanted to take the book away like that, and wanted this game...

@catx3 With you bringing up Hachina's worries, it got me thinking. What if Eba himself was giving Hachina fake memories? Maybe Eba "brainwashed" Hachina into being the Leader during one of his memory losses when Tatsuki wanted to go back to being a referee? I don't know if it's all that likely...

@catx3 Do we know the specifics behind Hachina's memory loss? I seem to recall it being a full wipe between the last thing he remembers and the present moment, but I'm not sure where I got that fact from. Does he instead maybe lose specific memories and keep some? If it's a full wipe, I wonder...

Oh damn, Hachina and Baku are at last meeting face to face (again?)! I'm not sure what to expect from their conversation at all here. If Baku is here specifically because The Prince Bee got ordered, then it's likely he's already aware of Hachina's memory losses. Also, I wonder what the badge on...
