Tatsuki was likely implying that Baku is at a disadvantage because Marco would not be able to go change the password, which is an interesting situation. Do the beads have to be kept in their hand the whole time, or can one of the players dispose of them somewhere in the tower? I guess even if either party learns of the bead count they'll have to stall long enough for the karamete to succeed, which adds another layer of mystery.

I like that the game itself is simple, means we'll see Baku at full mind gaming capacity.

Oh man, what a chapter. I knew Nanpou would appear again, and im surprised he is still working for the police given how shocked he seemed at Kadokuras death.

Also, I like that thing leader does of entering rooms by peeking behind his subordinates. Its the same shit he pulled with the Mine game except now he is not a silhouette.

As for the game, what happens if the sum of all the beads its a one-digit number? Are they supposed to imput 01/02/03 or so then, since the remaining password digits are two? What happens if they fail when they insert the password? Otherwise someone could just try and try assuming that the enemy lets him.

 

[Veshv]

If the sum is a 1 digit number like 8, the end would probably just be 08. The sum cannot be 00 or 01, based on what the referees said to do right at the start.

I think there's probably a default win case if the party fails too many times. Let's say Suteguma gets to the terminal and inputs wrong 5 times. He'd prolly just lose outright. That said, I don't think either of them would do that.

Also, do any of the players know what the actual password is before the last 2 digits? I'd assume so, but that may be a part of the game too.

@Veshv

These beads feel quite weird as a mechanic, but interesting at the same time. If they can be disposed of, then you could pretend to reveal all your beads on purpose and get your opponent to mis-enter? (and it'll also reveal his # of beads if you see his sum). So far it seems like this game is going to get unpredictable very fast.

Also, the machine detects the weights of the things in the box... wonder if one of them pulled a fast one and pretended to have an empty hand while actually putting an object in there to mess with the weight? Although it's risky since they themselves wouldn't know their number, plus they didn't know of the rules at the time.

 

[Veshv]

If either of them had prior knowledge about the game, it's definitely something they would do. Maybe take out 3 beads but the automated system reads it as 2. Since the Kakerou referees also said they don't know the number, it's a possibility.

I'm surprised how quickly Leader went to the source to deal with them too. Seems we're going to have a lot of action this arc.

The rules of this gamble can be a bit problematic for Kakerou. The wager for this gamble is 50mil, meaning whoever wins, gets the 50mil and Kakerou is obligated to ensure it. The winning condition is "whoever enters the password first, wins."

However, what if someone, definitely not named Usogui would enter the correct password and tell it to the opponent without changing it. Since he is the winner, Kakerou would be obligated to make sure he gets it. However, there is another way of looking at it: Immediately after winning the game, the winner gave the 50mil to his opponent.

Now why would the winner do such a thing? In this gamble, there are two referees. Let's say someone, definitely not named Usogui, knows the personalities and judging style of those referees and has an interest of causing a dispute between them, so in the end, there is only one referee present. If only there was a rule within Kakerou that would make it possible. And if only such a rule would then make his referee #0, that would be great.

 

[Veshv]

Now that I think, Tatsuki wouldn't be so sure of Marco's incompetence with technology with such a short time frame, would he? What did he mean by only 3 of the people could adjust the password? Could one of them fail the retinal scan for some reason?

@Veshv
The referees likely have info about previous gambles. Remember how Nowa knew that Marco = Rodemu during the 7 card poker game?

 

[Lithe]

I like these rules. I can see why this arc could be hyped up so much by those who've read beyond.

When I think about it, it kinda looks like you uploaded the side/extra chapters due to the similarities of the games.
This one has quite a bit more room for some thrills though.

 

[Moonbunne]

I just noticed Nanpou is already here as the first tribute to the karamete lmao

 

[MindRealm]

The leader is finally making a mooovee

 

[fifinka]

Why is no one talking about how disgustingly cold LEADER was this chapter?
