@299792458 You mentioned a flashback of a gunshot wound... I think I recall seeing that, but I don't remember what chapter it was. Do you know?

Really enjoying this relationship these two share. I'm eager to know more.

So does Hachina even remember Baku? He has such a nonchalant attitude all the time, and seeing him sorta brush Baku off like that in the beginning of the chapter, I can't tell if that's due to amnesia or just his general indifference. Poor Baku looks distraught though regardless. Lol

@Veshv Ah, yep you're right. I got a little confused there with how that was structured.

I wonder how many times Souichi has had to go through this process. From this chapter alone it seems at least 3? Speaking of which, I'm kinda curious if there was some significance to that brief flashback of him asking for the book. Souichi did look around the same age as he does now in it...

Wow, I never would've expected Voja to have so much control over Lacy like that. And seeing as how the person on the phone was keeping in contact with her as opposed to Lacy, I think it's fair to say she really was the person basically pulling the strings this whole time. Also, that diamond...

@299792458 That's only because neither side demanded securing one another (or something similar). Again, my whole point was Lacy could've requested that Oofuna & co. offer their lives for this gamble as payment, and if Lacy won, then Oofuna wouldn't really be able to retaliate as Kakerou would...

@Haremmony That's a good point. Actually, I was kinda leaning on that sorta reasoning myself once I gave it some real thought. I mean, it does make sense for someone like Lacy to be undone by his own hubris. And to be fair, it's a bit of a running theme in this series too. So yeah, you're...

You know, I was gonna make a point of this around the start of the gamble, but I'm surprised Lacy didn't ask for more out of his earnings. After all, Kakerou is there to also ensure that the payout is achieved, so Lacy could've just asked for the lives of Oofuna & company. They would've been in...

I feel like Yokoi right now with his reaction regarding the placement trick. It's a bit hard to believe that trick wasn't found out sooner, especially since Oofuna was pretty casual about where in the square he'd press. And that's regardless of what direction Lacy placed his ships. Ehh... I...

I'm surprised he didn't space out his volleys more to the other, smaller open spaces. I mean, even if he did hit at least one submarine in that corner, would the single extra volley he'd gain from it really be enough to pinpoint the last in the remaining spaces?

You know, I kinda like how Oofuna's seemingly playing this game honest. No cheating or extreme mental gymnastics (at least, as far as we've seen). Just a guy taking straightforward gambles and getting them right. I don't think it'll last, seeing how much more he has to go to win yet, but still...

@DQM Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. After all, Ideal is involved with this whole current weapon smuggling situation, right? Or at least I just assumed it was. But anyway, given the position Voja's in right now, it wouldn't be a stretch to figure Ideal took Voja in at that age or something.

Okay, I think I have a crush on Souichi's character. I don't even know what else to say anymore. He's just too cool.

So Souichi planted the phone with the information knowing Kidou couldn't help himself. I swear, Souichi is like 10 steps ahead of everyone at all times. Not only that, but he pretty much lets you know how it's gonna end before it even begins. I love it. Lol

Kakerou's probably the last thing Souichi wants to see at the moment. I'm wondering if this'll effect his objective. But knowing him he'll probably pull through without notice no problem.

Never a dull moment in this series with its... unique characters and their quirks.

Souichi: leader of Kakeou, seemingly an incredibly versatile and cunning intellectual, proclaims that he will "win and always continue to win"... proceeds to immediately lose within the first move of the game. Lol I'm sure there's more to it than that, but his initial reaction of confusion...

@catx3 True. Now it makes me wonder how much of a front Souichi potentially puts up, or if he feels differently compared to how he acts and claims his objectives are as leader. Can't imagine his upbringing was all that easy as well, given his position in life.

I do love the subtle foreshadowing via casual speak. Didn't think much of Souichi's forgetfulness aside from it being just a small personality quirk, as if he was so apathetic about things he couldn't be bothered to remember them. But now realizing it's more serious than that, things are...
