It just make me confused... so is the first meeting between Baku and Hal actually set up by Eba or something? Since the book is written by Eba, and what is the purpose of that?

So Baku really went to the first StL intending to lose, and had prepared and predicted everything beforehand to make it easier on himself to attain everything he needed to challenge it again...

This batch still goes up to 324?

@xkcdhawk At that time Baku didn't know Hal was the leader. But maybe he expected to lose before the end of the match.

That was amazing. I dont think Baku went there expecting to lose. But Leader pardoned his life because he had learned from Baku than leaving an enemy with nothing but his life was more exciting.

That said, the fact that he knew Kyara would go back if he was out of Kakerou and that he set up getting Marco and the L-Files BEFORE his match with Leader tells us Baku was at least prepared to lose.

I do remember Kyara coming the the conclusion that Baku was trying to lose too on purpose as to not be considered a challenge anymore for most of Kakerou so he could keep amassing power under their noses.

It probably wasn't necessary based on what we've seen, but so refreshing to have Baku plainly state why he gambles, and it's a reason I happen to agree with.

@belkrax Souichi shouldn't have had his memories of Baku at that point though, so I don't see why he'd remember that.

Part of me finds it difficult to think Baku went in expecting to lose. I mean, I get having a contingency plan, but he just said that the desire for victory is one of the most important things for gambling. If that's the case, then wouldn't he naturally play to win?

Then again, that same desire could be emboldened after tasting defeat (which is basically what he implied a few chapters back), so I don't know.

He might not have the memories, but he learns even from the things he has forgotten.

That book is ridiculous. Did Eba custom write it for this version of Souichi? Even if he did, how much of it lines up with reality is absurd.

About the first StL challenge.. Baku basically lost that simply by suggesting the game. His "private army" from the start had turned on him, and now that we know they were of a partnership formed through Kakerou in the first place, his line regarding Kyara implies he knew it'd happen. So definitely, he was planning to throw the game from the get-go.

I'm confused. What makes Baku so sure he will be alive after losing the StL.

If Baku didn't know that Hal is the leader then there is no guarantee the leader will spare Baku. If Baku know that Hal is the leader then the problem is that Hal lost his memory and his plan would fail.

Maybe at the time of StL, Baku know that the Hal have memory loss (since it seems like the current Baku know about it).

Baku could have got the location of Hal's gamble from the guy who was calling him in the previous chapter or from the Prince Bee book, and find the computer which contain Hal's memory. (Which is very unlikly since Hal know that Eba's dead so this place no longer have any use. I think Hal would probably dispose everything relating to his memory loss and leave a clue at that location to talk to his attendants about his memory.)

Or maybe Baku saw Hal just as he leave the location and find out he lose his memory and is related to Kakerou. (I'm imagining that Baku found the location of the gamble, saw Hal with his attendants and referees cleaning up Eba's place and somehow deduce Hal's memory loss and relation to Kakerou. No evidence on the likelihood of this scenario though.)

Or maybe Baku know everything from the beginning. Re-reading a bit, at Ch.321, Baku said to Hal "you can just do what you want". Maybe Baku already found the location of Eba from the Prince Bee book and found out everything, so he said that to Hal so Hal can decide what to do next. To be with Baku side or Kakerou. (Which was the question Hal was asking himself, so maybe he knows that Baku knows?) Baku was a bit suspicious on why Hal would want the book so much, he asked alot of questions at the bookstore which Hal don't have the answers. (Not sure how he avoided being kicked out/killed by Eba though)

Or maybe (again), Baku know everything from the very beginning when he was at the bookstore. I am a bit suspicious by the fact that Baku just happen to walk in at the bookstore and "found" the Prince Bee and that he wants it because he's a "collector of rare goods". Maybe he did this knowing that Hal would be the leader someday and get in his good side and would spare him in the StL so he can have a more thrilling gamble.

In any case, even if Baku know about Hal's memory loss, there's nothing Baku could do to regain his memory. (Plus considering how shocked Baku is when he saw that Hal is the leader. I'm not sure if Baku know anything at all.)

Maybe, it's all just a gamble?

Something tells me the "bonds" that Baku lost was much more than just Hal. A theory of mine is that Baku used to be a member of Ideal, and him losing his "bonds" meant him being relieved of any stranglehold Ideal had over him. At this point, the theory is only speculation with guesswork backing it up.
