So in the third round Hal got impaled by Witch Pain uff. That explains the page where he's littered with holes. This honestly does not sound like a pleasant game for the ones upstairs. Facing deathly pain? Nightmares over and over again. And I guess Hal does have a good reason to win if he wants...
With this being a 2 vs 2 and it seems like the players above are choosing the cards, the name Air Poker is even more brilliant than I thought. The players in the bottom are playing for air, hence the name Air Poker. The players above are playing with no cards, hence "Air" Poker (like "in thin...
From Baku's point of view, he really is in a damn if you don't, damn if you do situation. He didn't know the exact rules of the calamity. What if the calamity is triggered if you folded? What if it triggered if he didn't raise, etc. Anything could've happened and he had limited amounts of...

Here you can see the dial's glass edges are cracked, so something broke.
And here we can see a rounded cracked glass that seems to be able to fit the dial
You know I just missed this and @Doomroar commented in the previous chapter made me realize, both of their hands are using the same Jack Heart. So now I wonder what is going to happen next.
I think someone already mentioned this in the previous chapter, but as Baku once said, "The opponent would have nothing else to do but leave to luck and draw right? In that case, you would still have the chance to lose." Really the mind games that are going on even before the cards are played is...
What bothered me about this chapter is the "both sides" on page 8. I first thought this meant both Lalo and Baku, but that wouldn't make any sense since at that point on page 8, Lalo did not know the law yet. And the way that "both sides" is emphasized in quotation marks makes it seem that there...

The reason I mentioned the air dial was that in the previous chapter it was shown that the dial's glass was broken. And in a few chapters back we saw a floating glass that could match perfectly the size of that air dial. My theory was that Baku is manipulating the dial's hand so that he...
You know, I'm getting less confident about my theory of Baku secretly saving air now. I thought that would be only reason he would break the glass on the dial for that, but if he did have the air saved, I assumed that he would've used it right now instead of being in such pain right now. Or he...
Reading this chapter I finally figured out what was broken in a few chapters back.
On page 12 at the bottom, the device that shows how much air is remaining, if you check the edges you can see they are cracked.
That's what Baku cracked when Lalo wasn't looking. And my guess on why he did that is...
