I think the SCM goes by how both individuals are feeling even if it is subconscious if the feeling is strong enough to start a duel. That is how Julia tricked Seiya into a duel without him knowing, because he strongly wanted to show how much he missed Julia, and to prove it to Julia, Seiya wanted to hold Julia's hand as long as possible as they talked. And Julia wanted Seiya to behave in such a way to fail. So SCM could also read or detect the dog wanting to fight Zenichio to probably stop him from hitting Shiori (who was nice to the dog earlier) If Zenicho felt he was going to kick away the dog attacking him, SCM detects that as a duel since both wanted to use physical force to stop each other's actions. When the dog bites Zenicho in the balls, he felt that the dog got the better of him, which SCM detects as losing.
This show is already backtracking on its own logic.
Just in the intro, Seiya shouldnt have been able to make any wagers under orders as a slave, yet still did unintentionally.
Julia shouldn't have been able to be a part of the wager since she wasn't wearing an SCM at the time of the "duel". Taking it out means it's not sending signals to your brain anymore. You can take it out temporarily before brain requires you to put it back in, but that's as a slave.
A one-sided bet shouldn't even be a thing, just the concept itself is ridiculous. By that logic you could wager with every single person that they wont kill themselves within 24 hours. If they do, you win because they die, if they dont, they become your slave and you win. That's literally the type of logic they just allowed in this show for the sake of plot convenience.
Let's not even get started on the guy who forced the girl into a punching duel and was going to get away with possible murder, or the dog that somehow won a SCM duel...despite being a fucking dog.
As much as a filthy cunt Julia and her master are, at least I can acknowledge that they know how to play the game. Tricked Seiya, and backed Shiori into a corner with the premise of being an ally. I should say obviously the Ryuuou guy is smart because that dumb skank Julia couldn't come up with that on her own.
Julia is probably a master, pretending to be a slave... who knows? I haven't read the manga yet. She acts more like a master than a slave.
That blonde guy with the shades has been showing up a lot lately. I feel like he's always at the wrong place at the wrong time. I think he's a pretty decent guy, he didn't seem to realize that his companion drugged Adachi.
I KNEW IT NAKANO-CHAN WAS A TRAP!!! I was kinda hoping that Ayaka was also a trap. Ayaka would be better off a trap because she fails as woman, as a human, as a villain, etc.
The women in this series are getting punched a lot. Poor Shiori. Not Ayaka though, she deserves to get punched a lot.
Zushiomaru is my favorite SCM master now. DOGE made Zenichi his bitch. Fucking yes. Such slave. Small ballz.
Oh, so basically Seiya will be a slave of Julia and then her master? I hope Eiya and Yuuga will beat them bcs they're up to no good. I actually find Nakano and Shiori's part kind of interest ing but fck that Zenichi guy!way to go Inu!
This is becoming more of a master/slave death game.
Pity for the guy earlier being betrayed by his ex and also to that guy's...
It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.
