It indirectly kills her

Are their lives tied together?

Are their lives tied together?

You're gonna have to be more specific because your insistence on repeating an already answered question is making it seem like you perhaps mistakenly think she would suddenly drop dead if he died outside the game.

There are many many other places you could post a video and it'll spread around without relying on some platform algorithm to spread it around. Post it (the video or a link to the video uploaded elsewhere) on Twitter, Discord, Telegram, 2ch, Niconico, or LINE and while it may disappear before the day ends, it might be still be enough time for some people to download it and spread it around themselves.

We can safely rule out any messaging software as a threat because I highly doubt anyone who Akiba messages would know Shibuya or even anyone in the school given how he's a loner, thus lessening the effect of his threat. He also specifically says he'll send it to 'anyone' which implies he's not posting anything so it's basically "hey look, a stranger saw Shibuya beating someone up" and he's hoping the siscon cares enough to defend him. Even if he does post it to Twitter or his associate does, I don't think people just share videos of torture with each other unless they directly know the victim/perpetrator so you can rule out a video Shibuya beating Adachi up going viral. And what's the possiblity of that very video going viral from someone who at best has a couple hundred followers on twitter for being the best player in a not very known videogame. Even if it did, just show an image of Adachi completely fine with an easy way to tell the date, such as at an event that only happens that day. Adachi's prostate pose does not show her face at all so nobody could identify her so that doesn't post much of a threat either.

No, that was the question all along. That he's been able to feel pain alongside her in S-rank matches, and that she can't switch partners at all, would suggest that their lives are tied together.

 

[normalman]

damn he really broke her that badly

 

[fsadddfsa]

Actually, wait, Adachi was stripped naked for at least a good chunk of that fight. We're not sure how much of the fight Akiba filmed but if he filmed any part of the stripping which I bet he has (especially the dog pose) they could literally just send the police to his house and arrest him for possession of child pornography. Ah and just checked, Adachi's the same age as Yuu.

 

[wugue]

I can fix her

 

[Reflux5547]

Seriously, their best bet of survival is killing Akiba.
They dont know what the reward for ending the game is (so neither does Akiba), and all of his "real" power comes from how good he is at the game. Is in Akiba's best interest to keep the game going as long as possible, which means that he's going to keep messing shit up and find ways to throw matches.

 

[wengwengbee]

Disappointed that Author didn't pull a Gal Cleaning and drag out the torture for 30 chapters as a joke

 

[Bearil]

Yeah, his position of power relies of them being stuck in the game and having to depend on him, meaning that everyone but Shibuya are expendable assets to him. He's literally a ticking bomb to everyone

Actually if I were Akiba I would get rid of everyone and look for new pawns before they get strange ideas.
But knowing his ego I'd say that ironically Adachi is now safe from that since he enjoys seeing her miserable state and submission to him, something that might bite him in the future if she recovers and just bid her time

 

[deathstroke50]

I would be surprised if Akiba didn't usurp leadership role from Isami while the poor slave was tweaking settings. It feels right up his alley to consolidate power whenever he can, and leaving everyone with 1 life would make it risky af to kill him off IRL.

 

[panzerkampfwagyu]

His Demise really fucking can't come soon enough.
Seriously though, just rip the phone out of his hand and then permanently cripple the fuck out of him, he is a pure demerit, but him being there, but useless should give the MC the points anyways.
Seriously, why does noone considers the possibility of turning him into a torso with head?

 

[G-P]

Can't believe mfs have actually defended that irredeemable piece of shit lmao. They probably tried to gaslight people into thinking Midou from his other comic is also not that bad.

Isn't that what he did do? He became the leader and took away Adachi's lives.

 

[RamenRider]

No, that was the question all along. That he's been able to feel pain alongside her in S-rank matches, and that she can't switch partners at all, would suggest that their lives are tied together.

While that's a nonzero chance, it's the same sort of nonzero chance that the little sister being the mastermind is. But let's say that we're both being paranoid and are worried about that. The game has had a consistent progression on that front with it going from unconnected lives, to paired players, to shared pain. Killing him now before shared lives outside the game actually becomes a thing becomes a calculated risk if you think that's true.
Since it seems like there's now a twitter tag for the death game version you can also do research by asking about what happens if somebody gets in an accident outside of the game as somebody has to have had that happen by now.

And after all that the real decider of things is going to be who the actual mastermind of the game is because the plot point of them having a specific grudge against Shibuya is unresolved. I'd lean into her not dropping dead only because they want her to keep on suffering and can squeeze out the last bit by her being softlocked out of clearing the game due to his death or rematerializing him exclusively in the game.

Isn't that what he did do? He became the leader and took away Adachi's lives.

He didn't become leader, it just seems the leader console can be controlled by others in some ways (probably in order to save somebody from running out of lives by redistributing lives while the leader is dead mid match. Eg they found a 1 up mushroom and want to give it to somebody else) The leader has some other abilities Akiba couldn't access and while nothing comes to mind, Siscon really needs to get familiar with them because if Akiba couldn't mess with them there's a chance he needs to be using them asap.

I really don't see how you can think this. For example, when akiba died while shibuya stayed alive during the raid battle, they didn't each have some seperate stock of lives, their lives were already tied there. Considering if you die in the game you die irl, lives are ALREADY in at least some way tied to the outside world.
Not saying that's definitely how it is, but it's far from a low chance. It's at the very least 50/50, with it really being even higher given what we know so far.

Siscon and Adachi team aren't going to take the risk of trying to kill Akiba, knowing that Shibuya might die in the process. Though the ex-slaves might do it. Good idea to try and find out on twitter, but if they don't find anything then back to square one.

Interested in how they can keep the ex slaves in check, siscon can't watch them 24/7 or follow Akiba around as his bodyguard, and they have no reason to give a shit if Akiba posts a video of Adachi, nor particularly care about Shibuya dying. Now that Akiba made enemies out of them for no fucking reason, despite not having dirt or anything on them, it's in their best interest to just kill him before he does what he did to Adachi to them, which could very well happening the next battle.

 

[RamenRider]

From what I recall from the misc deaths, the cabinet controllers all had to be killed separately after the dresses were dead. Their lives have always been separate until the final one is lost by the dress wearer and I'd have to go back to double check on if Adachi didn't manually kill them like I think she did beofre i run the risk of putting my foot in my mouth. The cabinet controllers deaths seem to be a symptom of there being no need to teleport back a live dress player anymore than an actual shared life connection.

And it's a bit more of a problem than just the ex slaves being mad for him.
This is a ranking style death game. Those other 6 players from that match now know he completely outclasses them and is willing/going to spend hours torturing them because they thought he was a creepy little shit the next time they meet. Having firmly established himself as not only a roadblock to winning the game but a threat to their mental well being they now also have motivation to off him so that they don't have to deal with him again even if none of them want to do so for vigilante purposes. The same applies to any players that word about this spreads around to. It's not going to happen because of literary conventions and it being unsatisfying for some rando to get him, but the consequences of this can theoretically be pretty far reaching.

 

[guyjean]

I mean sure that's one way of looking at it, but the way I see it, while they are in game, their lives are seperate but once that match is finished, that is when they both get back into the real world, they consolidate into one. Which is why Akiba death in the game doesn't mean anything once Shibuya got back safely.
I dunno, it might even be possible that Akiba dying means shibuya gets to pick a new partner, who knows. But I think there's a risk of her dying if Akiba dies, and it's not a risk Adachi or minato are willing to take.

All that aside, the video thing feels really sloppy, like this should be international headlines already if any one of the players so far could have taken video evidence of the game world and game matches the entire time.
Hopefully addressed or something...

 

[portable]

Other than thanking again the translator to release as such a pace. I am so glad comments are back. I really enjoy reading people seething over akiba.
😅😅
I wonder if he can continue be a piece of shit unchecked. I really hope he do. Let go akiba.

We're not sure how much of the fight Akiba filmed but if he filmed any part of the stripping which I bet he has (especially the dog pose) they could literally just send the police to his house and arrest him for possession of child pornography. Ah and just checked, Adachi's the same age as Yuu.

Being jailed wouldn't stop him, since he'd still get teleported out whenever the next match started. Sure, he'd return to jail at the end of the match, but I can't imagine he'd let them get away with it as long as he still has any way of taking revenge.
