Thank you for an excellent scanlation! Wonder if we can already buy this game somewhere? (Could always print our own cards, but proper cardstock and supporting Togashi sensei would be nice.)

Who is this woman who got abducted again?

 

[alacaelum]

This game has a nen binding.

The thing with nen is that it has a "complicated" relationship with subjectivity.

In a way... the more direct you are, the more power you can take and use, but there comes the rub... the risks are greater too.

In an obvious relationship of functionality, this game would give an 80-20 advantage to Morena, but with this being a binding spell, she can't be unreasonable, she HAS to give a concret chance for Borksen to win, under that, the best option would be a 50-50 split... but Morena wants to win, she may be resolute not to cheat (because she knows what happens if she cheats in a nen binding), so she has doctored things to be a more 60-40.

As Borksen said, this game may look advantageous to her side, but the choices aren't so simple... because the questions haven't been made, and how those questions are worded, affects how the answer interacts with the binding.

Truth be told, Borksen does have a window of opportunity... but Morena still has the advantage, because in the end... the first to strike wins, and a person without nen is defenseless against the one that has.

Morena's phrasing still makes it possible for someone else to interfere on her behalf.

Who is this woman who got abducted again?

she's part of Tserriednich's (4th prince) private army. her group were (are?) close friends with the 4th prince during his time in the army (or at least, while he was younger), and for that reason, has chosen to stay at a lower rank since it allows them to talk about Tserri more frankly compared to those at the higher ranks, who show major deference to the 4th prince. they're introduced in Chap 394.

Lol Togashi having Morena interject about negative questions and the implications of 'yes' or 'no' answers.
It's like he's speaking to childhood me.

Togashi's watching some noontime axn soap and putting it on his manga.

Who is this woman who got abducted again?

One of a few close friends that 4th prince used to have

 

[NatsuKen]

Absolute peak Togashi experience for him to cook up a whole card game just for one specific scene.
