Interesting. I had assumed Karl died in the explosion too. I knew Karl was connected to the newspaper guy who found Kaji, wasn't sure if he made Kaji go there too. I must have missed that.
Also, about your outcomes, I was thinking
Poor Oofuna. Got involved with some insane boat gamble, got isekai'd and rallied an entire islands population to safety, now sees his friend and ally being tortured in an even more insane gamble. Oh also the world thinks hes dead. We spend so long in Kakerou world its refreshing to see a...

You're welcome! Thank you guys for all your hard work. This manga has been a joy to read and your insane release schedule is impressive. You've certainly made an Usogui addict out of me.
You just know they're saving the gunshot to the head for last.
Fukurou's text should read hearts and not spades here, correct? It initially threw me for a loop.
Hal/Hachina/Souichi is a really compelling character. I'm really interested in if certain feelings or philosophies of knowledge carry over in his mind between memory loss / Kakerou imprinting, and I find it interesting that he generally speaks of himself as almost completely different people. "I...
Yeah, my assumption was that we were going to develop to a point where the partners can communicate. I guess it's an assumption on my point, but a couple other people have pointed out the possibility of Baku trying to signal Hal. Kind of taking a leap of faith there but it seems like a logical...
This is really exciting. There were a ton of questions we all had going into this, like "why bother betting after the cards are revealed and when you have already learned the law?" but now we know why. This game has so many layers to it. I have to really give the author credit here with this...
The author has done a great job of making Lalo and now Fukurou live up to all the time and effort he spent building them up. This dude is extremely intimidating and his poker face is incredible. Hal really didn't think he would shoot.
Some word vomit here
Lalo's theory is honestly not a bad one with the information he has; he knows the thinking required to understand the game on the fly and it's not the most outrageous thing to think Baku's trying to find a shorthand memory cue for the hands while trying to solve the mystery...
Did Baku really not grasp the calamity before Lalo? I had assumed he let it happen to gain information, so nothing would be left to luck. In fact I would believe he was acting it up in this chapter if we weren't able to read his inner thoughts. A rare moment of miscalculation and weakness from...
Great mindgame from Usogui. Making Lalo understand the law in order to force out his ace card right now. By making him realize what 47 is, he has to play it right now or potentially lose its value. He also now has to realize that Usogui is now setting up to use his ace card in the 4th or 5th...
I wonder how Baku was able to knock himself out intentionally before losing consciousness due to lack of air, and what woke him up physically. Or if he just bet on him having a dream where Kyara would wake him up
The art has really gone overdrive on facial expressions as it goes on. I really love the "death god" face that pops up with Baku periodically, great use of it here when Baku regains consciousness. Good callback to Baku's face from the beginning of the manga and early covers once he was declared...
There is definitely some kind of trick to the game that no one has grasped yet, although I don't know what it is exactly. I think the gamble was intended to be quick and decisive
Remember, Shion said that grasping the mystery would only pull them further into the nightmare. There's probably...
Lalo acted fairly similarly in the Collesseum gamble; he's an extremely aggressive gambler. And when he makes moves, there are usually layers to them. Back then, it appeared to backfire on him rushing into something with Usogui very quickly, but here its really caught Baku off guard.
Usogui...
I've said it more than once but I really appreciate how much they've made Lalo live up to the hype and time that was devoted to Ideal. Very rarely is Baku caught off guard this much, Lalo out-thought him and stole an advantage in the match.
I guess Nowa Jr is the official referee of this match...
I hope we get to continue seeing Baku's inner thought process for at least part of this match. We haven't really been inside his head for a gamble, usually we're seeing it from Kaji or a referee's perspective.
@HyperMuteki
Great point. Baku's weak constitution will be strained here. Struggling...
