@troita @Veshv In my estimation there are three reasons why he told him the law. Two of them hinge around something we know: Lalo was not particularly interested in trying to figure it out at first. Lalo mentions that he has seen so many people waste their energy struggling at the end and he...

It's pretty amazing how the art has changed. It almost looks like a completely different manga. It's really come a long way, extremely impressive work by Sako.

Looking back at the early arcs it looks like a completely different manga.

We've definitely learned a lot more about Baku since the Tower arc, since we now have context for the story he told Yukiide and his relationship with Hal. We've also finally been getting inside his head more and more too, especially during Portoporos and Air Poker. In a lot of the earlier...

@Veshv @Lithe Actually, your post reminded me that I HAD seen the phrase about stalling mentioned almost explicitly in the manga. Upon a re-read I was able to confirm it. "The changing of Air Bios too slowly or too frequently could be counted as obstructing the game". The referees have already...

After Kadokura lived through getting his skull cracked open by Minowa I wouldn't be surprised to see people living through anything, but they shouldn't be afraid to pull the trigger in the endgame of a manga like this especially when they've already killed Kyara. That being said are we sure Amen...

@Lithe I have a couple of thoughts. Here's how I interpreted a few of the things in this arc. (Spoiler to not fill the comment page with a wall of text. Sorry that I do this every so often, I hope it's not too annoying.) As usual, I'm sorry if you knew all of this beforehand and I'm wasting...

It's one thing for the author to be able to fool the characters in the story who aren't privy to all the information. It's another to drag a bunch of readers who can see everything and communicate/theorize into the mire of Baku's mindgames. Sako had us right where he wanted us. We knew Baku so...

Man...I'll miss Ideal. They were a lot of fun from beginning to end. Amazing gamble arc. Everything since the Tower has been sublime gambling, particularly the Tower, Battleship, and Air Poker. Thanks for all your hard work as always, Team Duwang. EDIT: as an aside, are we ever going to find...

Hah, I considered Usogui was bluffing, but I guess the wedge had been driven into my brain too, and figured he must have saved some to make it a double-layered plan. Impressive that Funeral Chief was able to see through it. I knew he had a reason to drift to him. He needed to do something...

@spence7865 I suppose Marco could be with them all here as well. But we haven't seen him at all, and without him or Kyara Usogui doesn't really have anyone there who can go get to him quickly and save him. I get that it's kind of a weak excuse but thats just how it goes. I do think Baku is...

Wow. It makes sense that he's so defensive of those diamonds now. He just wanted to turn his most precious talents into diamonds and keep them forever. I like the idea that despite his otherworldly intelligence and cunning, what undid him was that he was too emotional after losing Billy and...

Wow, it was morse code! I figured it might have been different since Fukurou would pick up on it if it was just morse code, but it turns out it was something only Baku and Hal would ever understand. I also like the idea that Fukurou lost his edge over the years because he became too strong. Kind...

@Veshv That might be it...I forgot that he got HAL from shifting the letters (PC98 -> Hachi Nana (87), IBM -> HAL). It makes sense that he might have done something similar here. It'd rely on Hal remembering what his name means, and since we saw Hal remembering HAL and 8 7, it seems like the...

Well that explains Fukurou's "failure". Like we thought, he DID have an understanding of what Hal was doing. But he couldn't confirm it at all. He decided to avoid taking the Witch Pain and bury the feeling his instinct was giving him, because he couldn't conceive of someone intentionally taking...

Ultimately I think its poetic, I feel like this all comes back to what we learned long ago with Usogui's relationships as spoken by Yakou. His team was all prepared to bleed for Usogui and his dream (and many of them have suffered serious injuries or death), and Baku was prepared to bleed to pay...

All in all, the relationship between Hal and Usogui was just too strong. @Petrichormus I believe that is on the right track, and why the chapter is titled this way. I don't know if Fukurou would have known that is exactly why Hal made a mistake; he could have very well believed that Hal was out...

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL The shot of all the phantoms and comrades Usogui has had and lost was cool.

wow, he's in incredible shape lmao

I'm still believing that Baku's plan is double layered, and Lalo has acted according to his predictions. He understands that Lalo is smart enough to notice the broken regulator, and that he will also realize that Baku is intentionally showing him it and trying to mindgame him into wondering if...
