@Tanaka_Tomoyuki I think I kinda figure out where the rest of the episodes are going to be. Like you said, this will make Nel more indebted to Fay. He still "believes" in her even at her worst. Nel is now part of the family, and she should blindly trust them. Plus, if Fay stays at 6 wins when he hits 10, Lesha will only have 7, and then Fay couldn't play anymore. So they had to erase 3 wins somehow.

@Moppit Yeah, I agree. But I bet they'll just brush away the matter where Fay and Lesha put unnecessary pressure on Nel and pretend the two of them didn't do anything wrong.

Like, c'mon. Who the f bets 3 wins on their teammate like that? If I were Nel, I would be crushed under the pressure and weight of expectations. The anime made it look like a whimsical thing to do, but it actually is quite telling of Fay's incompetent leadership. Of course, the author is gonna behave like Fay did nothing wrong because he's the protagonist and therefore can do no wrong.

No wonder they treated us with a lot fanservice with Nel and Pearl, this episode really ended with a bitter note for whatever it tried to be.

I am here for the giant round watermelons.

Nel: "They're just so arousing" "So Boing-Boing-da"

I agree.

Huh... interesting... so Bookmaster copies their opponent to play but with mind games.

Which is technically true for Poker, that's why the "Poker Face" exists, it's all part of the "mind game".

.

Also... now we're going into the world of "No Game No Life" eh....

The Bookmaker is Nel's only chance to erase her losses, and though she's under a lot of immense pressure, she gets some rest time with both Leshea and Pearl...until the baths give Nel deep pressure again for seeing Pearl's big boobs. A failure Nel's not yet.

Nel tackling the Bookmaker...is another Nel: Gremoire, the Unstable Polyphonic God, and Fay putting half of his wins at stake, as if that doesn't already give enough pressure on Nel to win against Gremoire. And the game to decide that: a simple Texas Hold 'Em style Poker game that tests the psychological mind, which links to her resolve. It's best not to think that she's using Fay's wins as a bet, but purely her own against Gremoire, and yet, she still lost badly...which Fay knows that he already won, and tries to bet more of it, only to get forced into her Three Cheats game.

Winning isn't enough, now is to outwit a god.

Fay playing 6D chess by pissing away his wins. There was no need to do any of this. Holy fuck this reeks of just wanting to stretch out your story. Also good on the story for shitting on Nel after building her up. It's insane how Fay has to look good no matter the episode. What a dumpster fire.

I haven't updated in years but now I have changed that. I'll be free soon.

Playing poker with such a low number of hands is less about the psychology and mostly just dumb luck. How is this supposed to be a tense struggle someone can actually try to win through putting in the effort?
