Godlike Scanlation work here, Team Duwang

@RapidLord You're right, thinking back I also remember when he ordered the book, Baku saw the order notice and said something like "It finally happened again". I guess he loses small bits once a month, but periodically loses it in a great degree, back to his "reset" point.

I agree generally with @299792458 analysis from last chapter. There were plenty of foreshadowing moments to show that Baku understood Leader's condition, and we as a collective talked about it a few times in previous chapters. The fact that Baku was there looking for the Prince Bee, even on...

This certainly isn't the end of the game, I'm pretty sure the author and the characters are leaning far too hard into the "Baku bet on Leader's memory loss" as if that was Baku's only plan. I think that was definitely part of his plan, but the best plans are always multi-layered. We've been...

Oh wait, I only just now re-read last chapter with Yakou's brother. Was this what the "Leader's game that happens once a month" quote was about way back during Hangman? I remember thinking it was very bizarre that they would be having a StL game once a month with the massive amount of conditions...

Page 3 is pretty heartbreaking with the focus on Oofuna, Nobuko, and Baku. Hal having to deal with losing these memories and connections he made is really tragic. Him reviving as messy-hair Hal and the smiles they exchanged as they get ready for the next round though...awesome.

I actually honestly think Baku knows about Hal's memory loss, or at least he's made inferences on it. Everything with him being in the bookstore and finding The Prince Bee both times we've seen was way too coincidental. And if he knows it happens, he might have been able to detect a pattern in it.

oh fuck is THIS what Baku was aiming for?

Wow. The panel of Hal crying is amazing.

I'm also a fan of finally getting into Baku's head and seeing his thought process during the gamble rather than in retrospect. @Lithe Yeah, I think its similar to when Lalo visualized Baku screaming "CALL, RAISE" in Air Poker. I think Baku's train of thought is that if he tries to trick him...

Insane read by Baku. I hadn't even considered that Souichi was leveraging the referees into quieting the clock so he could use his echolocation better. One other thing I've wanted to mention that I thought about while the batch was on break: this manga makes a lot of the idea of "karma". "The...

Thanks Team Duwang for the batch and your hard work as always. I really don't want this manga to end, it's been fun sharing the experience with everyone. @Doomroar Close, but I'm pretty sure Eko was resolved to die, she knew she was never going to get away from the attackers. The gamble was...

Had a thought on how Baku could potentially beat this As an aside, thanks for the great translation work as always. Do we know when this batch will end?

Interesting...I didn't consider that part of his ability to forget/remember things at will and manipulate all parts of himself could include "forgetting" the ability to see and making use of the heightened other senses that would come with it. @Veshv very nice call on the "forgetting how to...

Almost never get to see Baku make a face like that. Really compelling stuff. I'm surprised someone apparently mentioned the eye parasite thing...I didn't notice it had been brought up at all until this comment section. I had completely glossed over the Greenland Shark mention in Baku's dream.

I'm a big fan of the dream sequences in this manga. It always helps keep the current mysteries alive by getting cut off at crucial points. One thing I'm struck by is how much Sadakuni and Mekama show up in his dream sequences. Hangman seems to weigh on his psyche a lot. @belkrax It definitely...

I like where this arc has gone. Leader was looking so weak for a bit there, but is now convincingly in a dominating position and has full control of the room. I was a bit worried that the godly Hal that we've seen was shaken because it was Baku. Him completely overwhelming those in the room as...

oh shit, I actually guessed this one. I'm glad I foresaw it, but I still don't know what the benefit would be in turning around immediately to fail a check vs just waiting the entire minute for the penalty of not checking. The Kaji and Gakuto reactions are just as fun as the match.

God damn, Leader is awesome. I wonder what he means...could someone turn around intentionally early to try and fail a check to empty the cylinder? And then D could drop it early to force them to keep playing. In this way D could try to counteract the "lose on purpose to empty my cylinder"...

Feeling like Oofuna right about now. Almost doesn't seem real that Souichi could be getting outmaneuvered so early in the game. He's gotta have something ready.
