[Poooqwww]

Thank you

 

[failninja21]

now I'm really curious what the cards are...

edit: some wild guesses,

Spoiler

the cards can change appearance? or maybe the cards represent people at the prison, and the two that are chosen gotta duke it out somehow?

 

[HyperMuteki]

They will definitely be struggling to remain in that seat with how the human body naturally rises in water.

 

[Valkit]

Thanks for the chapter! I'm looking forward to this game.

 

[BossCrab]

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 to remain in the seat might use up their air faster than expected. I wonder if they will periodically just stand up to try and catch a break?

 

[xkcdhawk]

I guess to the person who was worried about not being able to follow normal poker in the previous chapter; rejoice I guess we'll all be confused together in this strange poker

 

[shii]

I can already see how this poker gamble will end. Baku will end up in stage 3 of drowning somehow and when Lalo goes to the top to breath in air, thinking of himself the winner, Baku would be seated in his chair while Lalo is out of his for 10 seconds, granting Baku the win.

Mark my words.

 

[DQM]

Now I'm wondering, where is Gakuto right now?

 

[saxifraga]

@shii
But they're both locked to the chair though. And the only way to reach the top is with the key gained by having the other out of their chair for 10 seconds.


Someone made a good point about hording air canisters during the game. I'm assuming there will be a time limit for each play? Because yeah, if you have more you could technically just wait it out till the other player runs out.

*throws the poker manual I was reading out the window*

 

[caitsith]

Guess we didn't have to worry about not knowing poker, after all

 

[marcyvq]

I hope they explain a little more next chapter, about the cards, about the ante, because it's important for the reader to understand what is going on in order to be invested. And these are the two games a person should be most invested in, the last 2 kakerou matches that matter for baku (as far as we know).

About the ante I mean something like, if in round 4 I have 3 air left I can't afford the ante, so do I go to 0 air or do I have to sit there for 15 minutes until my air runs out and I drown, or does my opponents key open up or what.

 

[Ominous]

And here I was learning how to play Poker with my friends yesterday. Now I got confused for nothing!

 

[KeepTheFeather]

My guess is, the cards represent important things to both. For example lalos card could be his jewels. usoguis card could be his friends lives. idk

 

[Lithe]

Is it just so obvious when looking at the air bios to figure out how they work? 'Cause I still don't understand shit lol. Apparently the players already know how to use them or something is afoot 'cause the water is filling up the tank..

Though they accounted for the 'fake death' in just one chapter, how nice. It's another way to loophole your way out of the game, probably the main way even, though I'm still convinced the air bios will have a part in that as well.

But the rules of the game weren't even completed yet so I still have a chance.

 

[Doomroar]

Oh so it is one poker from Kai... oh nope, this is something else.

Mmmh so they bet after they show their cards, i am lost already.

 

[silentshot]

This is just pure luck based draw huh.

 

[Jesus]

oooooooooh i like where this is going. now thats what we call exciting
