----------------------------------------
Welp, we got more storytelling about Midari this episode.
I thnk the most thrilling part is her relationship with the student council president.

The gambling match between Midari and Jabami is also thrilling despite Midari's psychotic tendencies. Jabami's ability to outwit Midari to the end is pretty damn impressive if you ask me.

I don't know, for me, the manga created more "emotion" than this episode. Some lines from the episode lowered the "momentum" compared with the manga. Midari was defeated let's wait for the next challenge.

agree this ep was very bland compared to the manga , instead of this "gamble" being tense and emotional it fell flat

tho yumekos anger was even more fitting

I am probably guessing that MAPPA might not have enough time to adapt this episode with only just 12 episodes...

Please, the trick was really simple. You could have figured it out yourself before Yumeko revealed it if you payed attention.

Actually, the fact the trick was easy to figure out was a plot point. Midari wanted Yumeko to figure things out and win. Midari is a huge masochist after all.

And Yumeko got mad because Midari was trying to lose on purpose.

The scene where Yumeko states how much she despises Midari was gold. It was both hilarious and awesome at the same time. Her voice acting was epic. But them, those two faces... holy shit:


Kakegurui had some pretty epic faces before, but those two... Those two were probably the best ones.

I felt sad for Midari, though, she only wanted to be killed :(

Can I just point out that in a 5 card matching game, you can put a 5 card pattern out that matches NEITHER of the inverted and non-inverted video feed? I like how they made it such a crucial point, but it's completely irrelevant anyways.

Yumeko putting 2 bullets in to force Midari to get 0 points was pretty smart on her part though.

Made a full video on my thoughts of Kakegurui so far if anyone's interested https://youtu.be/8w0USHntnBo

I think you weren't paying much attention to the previous episode. Ok, arguably as a left hander I'm more aware of handedness, I immediately noticed that hand Suzui used was different in person and in the video feed. But still you should rewatch the entire gambling match and you'll notice Midari's deception was foreshadowed quite obviously that Yumeko could very well have perceived.

Midari got a lot more psychotic in this episode. Got some backstory for her. She took out her own eye. The match ended as a draw, which is what Yumeko wanted. She hates people like Midari. Meari refused to join the student council because she doesn't like how the president views the livestock. Very crazy episode.

Now this is why I took interest in this anime. I don't quite know what trick she pulled, but I'm positive that Yumeko rigged her gun somehow. I think she intended to lose the first round knowing Mary would get Yumeko's gun.

It's interesting seeing the disparity. Mary loves the thrill of being on the edge of death, and it's met Yumeko's world of gambling. I think Yumeko is probably disinterested, because the particular game they're playing is too simple, I think it's going to bore her.
Looks like I got it right. Didn't expect her to load her gun with lipstick though, clever trick.

Although I didn't exactly understand that Mary had no intention of a fair gamble, she's just a complete masochist.

I don't quite know why Yumeko was so happy at Suzui over the cards. I feel like I missed something there.

Well that was something...Midari is more than crazy she's just begging for pain and death! Insane shit in this episode...just crazy gambling! I'm glad Mary turned down the prez but after seeing how the prez treated Midari I wouldn't want to be on the prez's bad side...hell I wouldn't want to be on her good side either...I'd be out of that school so quick! It will be interesting to see what becomes of Midari now and also to see what Yumeko does next!

2/5 for this episode. Boring episode than the last episode. Midari's character is beyond twisted and this win was too plain. Also felt less crazier than the last couple of episode. Only watching this show for Ryouta.

She freaking gouged her out eye.

Student President is so scary.

Bloody Midari wetting herself. She is way too excited.

I can usually handle watching some pretty grotesque shit, but no matter what, seeing an eye getting gouged out will ALWAYS make me cringe. Idk why, but props to Midari for being metal as fuck. Also, she took the crazy factor up to 1000 this episode, she needs to be put in a mental institution.

This match had an interesting conclusion, and I loved the way Yumeko shut down Midari. Don't piss her off.

Meanwhile, Mary had the balls to defy the student council president. I hope that doesn't come back to screw her over later.

Ikishima is the biggest lesbian masochist I've ever seen... but Yumeko just wants a fair gamble xD Well, that's what you get for staging it, win or lose! At least you've still got the Prez's promise, though.



Speaking of Prez, sheesh, bombshell much... I really like her lol. I now understand why the whole Council is comprised of lunatics. Was kind of hoping Mary would join and then do some kind of double-agent inside job, but of course she's too proud. Can't wait to see her make her inevitable comeback :d

Entertaining show so far, bumped it up to an 8 from a 7!

So is it Chaos that Kirari wants to see? I have a feeling she's only using her position as the President to make things chaotic at Hyakkaou - the strong will want to keep the weak down and the weak who would eventually revolt against the strong. She's one dangerous woman but damn do I like that about her.
So ep 8 and probably 1/2 of ep 9 will be about that idol girl eh?

This episode is fun and all but that fish tank bothers me... First the student council pres keeps an Asian arowana with fucking cardinal tetras and then the arowana is just nowhere to be found in the tank. How does that even work? But yeah, this episode was solid but I feel like it could have been more impactful than it ultimately was.

Good episode.

Honestly this episode was pretty gross to watch, from the eyeball gouging to Midari's random spasms, it was kinda disgusting to sit through. Midari continues to be the most insane character in the series. She's just crazy on a whole other level.

I'm not sure I got the exact purpose of the mirroring trick, is it just to confuse the card layouts?
Loved the final round where Yumeko loaded two bullets just so she could force Midari to lose on purpose.

The scene where she talks down to Midari was epic, she totally wrecked Midari with that face. xD

MAD SADISTIC THOT devious plan brings a killing triggered move from the last turn

How conniving to take an usual draw from the last round where both of you we're taking advantages to risk their worthless lives by dying is huge suicidal conflict of what Midari to plan from the near end every since She takes a highest risk by getting a loss. (She's just toooo FEARLESS)

In Depths of taking charges of Electing Saotome to join in the council can be takes such different twist from it's new Arc in the latest chapter

This is just toooooooooo synchronize.. where Midari chooses Yumeko as her rightful M-type friend which surpassed Momobami

+ 2 Everything is undeniably PERFECT on how they portrait crazy sociopaths apart from the background between the interactions of Jabami and Midari
+ 3 --MORE DEVASTING HORRENDOUS Face which I plan to count since the 1st ep.

+ 2 Least Favorite Arc next to Re-Election and Idol Arc

Over rating total of 5(12)/5

Not really the fact that he put down the cards in random order (unless I'm wrong then my bad) but the fact that Suzui gambled on the chance that Yumeko would know exactly what he's thinking. Either way, she's glad that he actually gambled instead of cheating to win/lose.

If you were referring to the gamble vs the creepy nails girl, then I rolled my eyes at that too. That was already in the boundaries of super human. I'm not even particularly trying to defend Kakegurui, because I've got my issues with it too.

But in any case you are on an episode specific thread, so geez GOD forbid people pointing out things only that happened in THIS episode/gamble


"super human"

Photographic memory doesn't exist in irl but it's pretty common in anime, y'all watching an anime, Kakegurui doesn't have a supernatural tag but Yumeko is at least a eidetikers (as people with eidetic imagery are often called)

Nah, Yumeko was glad that Suzui took a chance. That's all the there is to it. This is actually more clear in the manga. Just go read it if you want. Suzui thought "Yumeko will know what to do." It was a gamble for him, but he did it anyway, and that's why Yumeko was glad.

Dude, no, Yumeko wants thrill in gambling. Yumeko predicted a draw in round 3 and it was. Suzui randomly placing the card made the game what was Yumeko thought predictable turns out a bit thrilling

This isn't a romance dude
