lol Nowa realized what the drug smoke was and completely outplayed Midara but Shion got too high and fucked it up Boro and Douji really rose up my ref power rankings

@catx3 Good analysis! I was wondering why they kept lingering on Baku dropping the handkerchief. Ryuusei's phone call is odd too, why do they keep bringing it up? @troita Thats a good point, where's Shion? @saxifraga I think the reason why this battle is important is because Yakou wants to ref...

Boro seems like he knows the right thing to do, but doesn't want to do it. Poor Douji. I wouldn't trust Nowa if I was Midara...wasn't Midara the one who kicked the shit out of his grandson?

@chrischewie Kadokura's brain was altered by what Minowa did to him; Boro makes note of it in Chapter 364. It seems he's much more prone to violence now considering what Boro thinks of his gambling idea. @Takoshi Marco being here is bad news for the referees. I don't believe there's a rule that...

Something I just thought of

@Skyrin It happened at the end of the gamble, when he went to preside over Minowa and Baku's M Time Battle, because he knew Minowa would just attack Baku and would have to be purged. Chapter 145. What Kadokura is referring to is that he realized the depth of Baku's trickery (the shirt swap and...

It's hard for me to comprehend anything Souichi does...yes, he's hyper over-analyzing Baku's actions, but judging from everything we learned about him in the Bookstore and during Air Poker his mind races at breakneck speed analyzing constantly. It's weird to see him verbalizing it though. I felt...

Leader said they can decide it using the vest system or by stealing the handkerchiefs so I'm assuming he's not having them battle to the death. Otherwise it would be basically be a gauntlet of Yakou having ranking battles with every referee. He probably set the condition of "you can't watch...

ohhhhh fug

That spread of the referees on Page 6...nice way to visually combine both of Kadokura's looks...got a wavy pompadour with the eyepatch going on I think Baku's just fucking with Souichi, maybe clarifying that he has his full memories back.

@gr8g No problem! It's a bit of a weird ability, but makes sense in context. @Veshv That makes sense too, I had forgotten about Suteguma's double-layered trap with his "habit" he showed against Fukurou and his inclination to believe in the worst-case scenario every time. I agree with Suteguma...

@gr8g I believe its a psychological thing. Ch. 236 is the flashback and goes over it, Suteguma sees the faces of people he knows he can dominate completely. The way I interpreted it, Suteguma was never able to see faces of adults as a child as a means to cope with his situation; the people...

Was this the end of the batch? I need to know if I should prepare to go through withdrawals. Thanks for all your hard work as always, Team Duwang

I'm interested in how Souichi will act now. He's gone through so much development from when we first saw him in Hangman to now it's hard to think of him and Hal as the same character. Baku will have to make the game count...being able to choose the gamble is the one huge advantage a StL...

Oh, wow, Sako answered like, three of the questions I had immediately. Great to see Robert K and Floyd Lee again, pretty remarkable that Floyd was so impacted by Kaji that he's asking for him directly. Fukurou becoming a referee is rad as hell. I don't know how we're going to wrap everything...

@Ghetsis Amazing post, thank you! There's a lot of information and subtlety in the Japanese language that we're not always privy to reading the translation. The efforts Team Duwang and you have gone to to point these out are extremely appreciated. As for my own reactions Best boy Oofuna...

@Lithe @Veshv Thanks for all the spirited discussions! It's been a long time since I've read a manga that is this compelling, and I'm enjoying experiencing it with everyone.

@catx3 Thank you...you got a couple things across that I had a tough time explaining.

I really liked the time we spent with Champ. I was very happy that they made him an actual character. I agree with Ghetsis that with Kaji becoming more competent we kind of lost our "everyman" character. Champ really came a long way in this arc and it was great to see his growth. I'm actually...

@troita He didn't know what cards Lalo had at all. But looking at his own hand and understanding the game, he could make the assumption that Lalo has an ace card that was likely a straight flush like Baku's 25. Baku wanted Lalo to understand that there was probably a time limit on how good his...
