You know, for people named after flammable chemicals, these guys took surprisingly long to burn.

And then he makes an English-language pun that only works in a Japanese accent. Shame. Mr. Gasoline was such a realistic portrayal of an American right up until that point.

Dammit, Fukumoto. Don't tell us that hijinks are going to ensue. If you did your job, we'll figure it out.

Ohhh. It's a Woolseyism. "Brine and needles" --> "Rinen Eedles" --> "Rhino Beetles". I wonder what it originally was in Japanese.

So the lowest degree of rarity--which others would call "not rare"--is here called "rare". But it's actually less common than SR, so people will keep gacha-ing without feeling discouraged, but R is still more common than SSR. So these ranks don't actually measure rarity at all? Then what does...

Caught myself going, "No..." out loud.

That explanation was so half-assed. Okay, so the first-generation zombies have their teeth and nails laced with zombie drug. And the second-generation zombies... ? Oh, hey, look. Power Stranger Danger's back. I kind of hoped thought he'd be a one-off.

I meant Isekai in general, guys. I read the novels, too.

I think the weirdest part of Isekai is suddenly being white. Anime glosses over it since all races look inexplicably alike. But imagine growing up in Japan, a country that doesn't even allow dual citizenship. Then, suddenly--poof!--European. ... I'm digressing. The point is, I was not...

I started reading this to improve my Hebrew. (I have family in Israel, and I have trouble reading their texts.) This is as far as I could get. It's not the language. It's the story. There... isn't any.

Calling "demoralizing illusion".

having been on both sides of this in real life, I have to say that most people can't really go from zero to India. I eventually went from "being around no people" to "being around a few people" to "being around many people" and back to "being around a few people" because I hated it.

All the suspense of LOST... All the logic of Twin Peaks... And all from the basic premise of "What if Danganronpa started with only 5 people?"

Okay, so America detained the Japanese one time, in multiple camps over the course of two years. Are you really going to call that a habit?

Great. More Anti-American propaganda. "No Americans allowed in Japan! ...Unless they wear fatigues and are piloting an assault vehicle!" "Also I'm so terrified about this plague, I am c-constantly being s-serviced b-behind this podium! Oh, that's good... " (I mean, just look at how they drew...

Just saying, the mom thing would have worked. Our beloved MC would have been scarred for life, but that's only if he were conscious. Drug 'im, tug 'im, naked hug 'im. Give him a blindfold and tie his hands behind his back just in case he wakes up in the middle. Foolproof. If he asks about it...

I guess the audience is supposed to automatically feel bad for people who are targeted by misfortune. That's why all the characters on the planet are used as the author's puppets to treat the contemptible MC like garbage.

@CocaineKaiser @Buiseru According to my archives, the One-Poker arc had 16 volumes. We could be looking at a more ambitious upward climb. ... Or, as is the formula, Kaiji's going to abruptly lose it all except for a small ante, just in time for Arc 7.

See you next time on... THE TWILIGHT ZONE.

So many weird things happening in this chapter. I like how the girl says it's obvious what's to like about Mr. Plain Protagonist Whose Name I Legit Forgot. "Hel-LO? I automatically love people who give me candy. Didn't I tell you how I met my parents?"
