Well they sure like taking things over the edge. First eye gouging, now ripping out fingernails...

So the vice president was actually the "president"? Well that's a good way to get to the climax quickly...

I wish that Yumeko was a little more arrogant. Her beating Manyuda would have been a perfect "in your face" moment where she just points and laughs at him for trying to be all high and mighty. But no...calm as usual.. Well Sumeragi did some of it, but I wish they were more aggressive with it. Would have made this (and the rest of the anime) more fun that way...

So, finally Jabami put that little shit biscuit down....

Manyuda pulled a Ken kaneki and got his hair to turn white. Plot twist: he is a ghoul, he comes back and kills everyone.

Man oh man, that Student Council president is scary.

Seiyuus nailed it this episode, especially Hayami Saori. I got chills.
Sumeragi's character development was so necessary, and it was wonderful to watch. Finally we're going to witness Kaichou and Yumeko's encounter, though I don't think there will be enough time for an entire game, seeing how long the Manyuda arc took.
Manyuda just did a Kaneki, but with how much I've hated him from the beginning, I couldn't even pity him when he lost that game.
I feel like Yumeko is a female Tsukiyama, but more likeable.
Lack of commentary from Suzuki and Mary. I'm questioning his role in this: is he just a fly on the wall?

I wish Manyuda challenge Kuuhaku and beat them to become king and queen of inanity. Can Kuuhaku beat anyone in the school?

On another note usually old traditional families like the President's hate twins. They kill/ imprison one for them for life. How the heck that other girl survived. Are they allies or enemies of each other so it's the older twin and more importantly who is the actual HEAD of the family. Both of them cannot be!!

This show has become ABIT more interesting.

And more importantly isn't that b***h president helping out some of the council like she did for that tea ceremony girl.

NGNL has more god-like know-it all scene. Someone that likes OP and unbeatable characters will prefer NGNL. Kakegurui has some too, but most of the time it's just gamble (luckiness) with simple tricks that you can wrap over your head.

I quite got the game, but can someone explain what card Yumeko has to win over Manyuda?

I absolutely likes her personality, kind of so determined.

The show kinda went down a bit lately, hopes they work it out in the last episode.

Anyone here felt quite sad somehow after all summer shows are ending?

lol This got me. Harsh but true.

I really liked how this adaption went. I didn't expect them to include Manyuda's bit of backstory in here since they never did with Yumemi and her mother, but they did, and I'm pleased. :)

He looks so beautiful with white hair (lol).

But now I worry how the final episode will be like. It doesn't look like they're being faithful to the manga anymore (which gives me a sign that this will likely not have a second season. Well, even if they did and they were still faithful to the manga, it'll take a very long time to see that second season since the manga's not that far ahead, tbh). Though I could be wrong and they will still be very faithful to it, but if they still do, then I know it will either be rushed or this series will pretty much end on a cliffhanger.

Yumeko either had to win with a stronger hand than him, or have the same hand as his while having stronger/higher ranking cards. That was what she had. Both had three of a kind, but she had three jacks, which are stronger/higher ranking than his.

Nice episode.

It kinda became obvious to me pretty early on what Yumeko was trying to do by discarding the pair of queens. She did lead on and deceive Kaede excellently though.

Yumeko's red eyes are my absolute favorite. <3

I thought the masked woman was just related to the student council president, did not expect her to the president itself. xD

Hayami Saori was on fire this episode, props to her for that amazing performance as Yumeko.

I can't believe a gambling anime could become something this insulting to my intelligence

Instead of having any sort of cleverness in play, we've now sunk so low as to just throw arbitrary amounts of money on the table and then someone wins by the author's whim (and when the protagonist literally bets her life, you know she's going to win anyway so there's no tension either)

The anime currently adapted 5 volumes of the manga, on the 27th chapter. The manga's currently at the 43rd or 44th chapter, so even if there is going to be a second season, I doubt we'll see it for a long time.

Though I'm not sure if there will be a second season. It looks like they're doing something completely different from the manga now, based on how the episode ended and the preview of the next one. If they do something completely different as the finale instead of being faithful to the manga, then I doubt there will be another season. Even if they didn't, the next game would have been very rushed as the finale, unless they decide to end this series on a cliffhanger or make the next episode an hour or something (lol).

What in the world? How can anyone get insulted? I do not see anything that insults anyone's intelligence. I find it VERY odd to feel like that. All they did was throw a bunch of money on the table to hope to have the "choice" to get a greater advantage at winning. That's not insulting. That's just normal or basic playing.

Knowing that the protagonist will win because of that sort of thing isn't anything new either, especially in gambling series. If the MC lost while risking something like this it would have been game over for the MC. Of course that's not gonna happen.

I don't think that they censored it. It's just different (much better for me as I said) direction. It's basically the same, but portrayed in more clever way than simple, ordinary 'fuck you'.

He was continuously raising to show them that it was futile to oppose him on the sort of thing continuously, and did it at the end after seeing that they were that stubborn, but even then, he didn't know they would bet both of their whole lives, and he didn't have enough money in comparison unless he bet his too. And he thought that they wanted to go for weaker and get and greater advantage due to how much they keep throwing on the table to get the choice, so he stuck with his usual "the strong wins" strategy. How is this unwatchable? Just because you thought it was obvious that they'd win? If it the whole thing was unwatchable, why did you keep watching?

They're twins, yeah. I think they swap places pretty often so it's probably impossible to tell which one is which.


so they both have the exact same personality and goals as well? as in, are they both insane like the President appears to be?

Yumeko is savage the crazier she gets the more I like her strangely??
Good episode overall I also enjoyed the part where the president turned out to be behind the mask.
Also it's making me question next episode since it'll be last I wonder if we'll even see a proper gambling game between Pres & Yumeko without it being rushed which is why I think it might end up as a filler.
I hope this gets a second season though.

excellent episode, exciting and fun to the limit, I'm very perplexed and shocked with the scripts between Yumeko and the other characters, has a unique essence, reminds me of Revy of Black Lagoon, if you ask me why, I really don't know but I love her personality.

The most prideful or arrogant people can be lead into being some of the dumbest.

Along with having so much power with the position he was in, Manyuda is very smart and quite careful, but he knew this all too well, which made him continue to be arrogant and not really that careful anymore. Thus becoming easily tricked. As Sumeragi said herself, he lost simply because he kept underestimating her (and Yumeko), and remained cocky with his usual method.

The usual theme of the series. With how many times the opponents have been winning overall, along with the much higher position they were in compared to their opponent/s, they become so confident that they wouldn't think anything bad or unsatisfying would happen to them. Even more so if they were cheating since they have such control over who will win or not. Then there's the fact that since in general they're a bunch of spoiled high school brats, they would think that nothing would stop from what they kept doing, even if what they were doing actually could have been easily countered by someone who thinks a bit outside of the box. Thus them being tricked, manipulated, or countered by even the simplest methods. Even Ikishima displayed this kind of behavior by forcing them to play the game only she herself wanted and to try to control in the way that only she would like it.
