New episode!
>AIEEEE save me Akiyama, I am getting trooned
Naturally.
>>288324080>>288324407I need to know more about this cutie.
>>288324588God she's so stupidI want to breed her so bad
SEXO with Fukunaga
>>288324639Who in their right mind lies in a Liar Game?
Nao would demolish the Truther Game no question.
Best girls.
why does she have that thousand yard stare all the time? like she doesn't know what's going on
>>288324639sonna..!
>>288324795Her brain:https://youtu.be/Og40mpl8VNc
>>288324795>like she doesn't know what's going onWell, about that...
Nao's thick lips.
I fucking knew it was going to happen. The plan was perfect, but Nao made NO attempt to get a guarantee from Fukunaga. God dammit, Nao needs to be detained for her own protection
>>288324795>why does she have that thousand yard stare all the time?She's like a computer with 1GB of RAM
>Liar Game>have a MC where the concept is alien to herSo frustrating!
Based tranny dunking on brainlets. Is this the first /a/-pproved tranny?
>>288325033>falls for lies easily>wins
NOOOOO I CAN'T BELIEVE SHE LIED TO ME AGAIN AIIIIIIEEEEEEEEE SAVE ME AKIYAMA-KUN
this shit again
>>288325109niggero nao!! she's lieieing!!
>>288325015>computer with 1GB of RAMThat's quite a lot. 1GB wasn't typical until 2004-2008.
>I never considered that she would lie two times
You can lie in the Liar Game?
>>288325344no
>>288325291This means you can trust her next time. There's no way she would lie thrice.
I can't believe the tranny lied to MC.
>>288324639She's still holding a grudge against Korean-bro for telling her the same thing lmao
>>288324619Stop bullying and tricking my retarded wife...
This series would be so much better if Nao was actually clinically retarded
:OOOOOOOOOOwhy do they all :OOOO
>>288325474Oh! That's a good point!
>>288324639bro I just cant>MASAKA... SHE LE LIED????????
I was hoping Nao would somehow win by herself this time, even though I knew better...
>liar game>just do opposite to what ppl are sayingthere, that easy
>>288325693Sonna...
>>288325650but she is already, she just doesnt have an official diagnosis
Bros, I know we all love retarded girls here, but could Nao be... too retarded?
The teddy bear will save the day. Trust the plan.
>>288324080Is (s)he named fukunaga because "s"he wants to fuck niggas?
>>288325788u just donte get it, this is all part ofe keikaku (tl note: plan). this kind of high brow writing rely flies over the head of u 2 digits iq plebs lol, go watch dewth nothe lmao maybe its more ure speed? unireonically?
>>288325703>don't give me 100m
>>288324639S-sonna...Akiyama-san taskete!
She's so retarded she should be institutionalized
>>288326004*protected at all costs
>>288326077She should be locked in the otomecage
>>288324639NOT AGAIN!
>>288324795hot.>>288326128>lock her in>tell her you'll let her go for sexual favors but escalate everytime>when she stops trusting you, you give her the key but only allow to use it after she's done (the key wasn't for the cage)I love retarded women
I know a way Nao could use the M tickets to earn more than twelve million yen hehehehe
>>288326204yeah... the teddy bear
I'd just say "vote for me or your mother will die in her sleep tonight" and I'd get 50 votes in no time.
I would never betray Nao-chan.
>>288325693>>288326004I LOVE laughing at Nao.
her retardness has to be deliberate ragebait
>>288326611Sonna...
I can't believe Nao got tricked by the person who has already ticked her twice!Somehow watching it is even more agonizing than reading it in the manga.
>>288324639100% bamboozled
>>288326659So this is her plan...
>>288326520>"No way, that's MY mom he's talking about! What if he's bluffing...? No, I can't risk her getting wrapped up in this. I'll just have to grit my teeth and vote 50 times for Anon."
Why does the tranny have male hips this episode?
>>288326800Iconic
>>288326800The laws of probability were on her side! >>288325474
Is this show sexist? They constantly cast the main female in a helpless role to be saved by the male character.
>>288326975as it is in real life
>>288324588She is such an adorable retard.
>>288326975No because I identify with Nao. I'm too cute and pure for this world.
>>288326520Nao would fall for this even though her mom is already dead
>>288326975Her sainthood will eventualy save everyone, she's actually the superior one.
>>288324795https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gsNaR6FRuO0
Lucky bastard.
>lanky man
>>288327116>luckyHe's an "S", remember?
She's so dumb
>>288324639WTF HOW DID SHE LIE
You know, it's a dick move from the other participants to even consider punishing Nao when the snake deserves all their hate. Just make Fukunaga lose and then take Nao's earnings by the end of the game.
>>288327116Kicking people in the face is allowed?!
>>288326800i have no idea why the fuck im still watching thi
>>288327281yeah just don't get caught
>>288327252They're just jelly. Why would someone who made a lot of money come back unless it's to scam them?
>>288327285To see Fukunaga's shit get pushed in
>>288327127How does he even know where she is? Did he put a tracking bug on her?
>>288327336Yes, she has a chip like a puppy.
>>288327146He's a sword?
>>288327491You got it, Nao.
The worst thing about this isn't that Nao is unbelievably gullible and naive, it's that deus ex machina will always come in to save the day and ensure that she never learns her lesson.
>>288327524>never learnsJesus fuck, just wait
I legitimately find this hard to watch because all I can spend my time thinking of is how ridiculously easy it would be to trick Nao into all sorts of sexual scenarios.
How can he even save her when they're all contracted to vote for one another?Nao is FUCKED.
>>288327557Fool me once shame on youFool me twice shame on meFool me thrice shit nigga wtf am i doin
>>288327573>contractedWasn't it just a verbal agreement?
>>288327572That's just because you're a bad person, anon.
>>288327573Don't worry, she got this in the bag.
>>288327598Yes
>>288326901They just gave him baggier clothes. The body structure is still wrongly female.
The fuck? This got an anime? Is it any good so far? Was the ending of the manga good or shit? I can't remember.
>>288324791I thought you guys said this show look like shit because chinks made it. It looks good here. I havent watch a single episode because you guys doompost it.
>>288327594they explained the checks at the start of the game Nao...
>>288327641the anime? horriblethe ending? horrible
>>288327684fuck off retard
We respect and support Nao in this household.
>>288326975No, because the one tricking her is also a w- oh...>>288327285Fun things are fu
>>288327524Nao does get more cunning later on. She gets less naive while still maintaining her honesty.
>>288327652Yeah but these aren't REAL contracts.It's monopoly cheques.
>>288327641>doesn't know what's currently happening>doesn't remember what happenedFuck off back to your retirement home, grandpa.
>>288327641>Is it any good so far?They fucked the animation up.>Was the ending of the manga good or shit?Ending was awful and rushed, I'm hoping they change it.
STOP FUCKING SPOILING FAGGOTS
>>288327788? There's been no spoilers posted you dumbo
>>288327788Saying the ending is shit is NOT spoilers.
>>288327650Yeah, it's "fine" but everything not great immediately gets called dogshit. Yuusha no Kuzu looked like actual shit last episode but it's still a fun watch.I haven't read the Liar Game manga but the biggest grievance I had early on was the pacing. The first game did not need to be more than two episodes.
Stitches.
Nao needs an abusive gaslighting husband
>>288327815There's a sequel manga now so thats not the ending anymore.
>>288327902>>288327940What's the point of posting the same pic twice, you drone?
>>288327989How many votes does the teddy bear get
>>288327989I'm trying to rack my brain her please forgive me for being a Nao but does she have any specific item that can maybe save her? I know Akiyama is somehow going to help her but I wanna see Nao solve this on her own somehow too?
>>288328058Yes her virginity
>>288328058She has a very powerful bear.
This wont cover the ATM game?
>>288328058>does she have any specific item that can maybe save her?Her brain.She offers the mohawk guy 999,999 of her M money for him to break contract with the tranny and vote for her instead. Mohawk eats the 1 yen loss while the tranny is snooked and still has to vote for him.
>>288327830You really thought I'd stop cheating and stealing your father's money? I LIED
This kind of show is like watching Superman. You know that no matter what drama of the week they serve up the protagonist will always win.
>>288328238It will. It's in the trailer and opening.
>>288324639MASAKA
>>288327572I think that might be the main appeal
>>288328443I know Fukunaga isn't into women, I still want to see her pounding Nao from behind.
Last stitch.
>>288327572Please protect Nao!
>>288328752I will protect her... then betray her...!
>>288324080So did they commit to fukunaga being trans or is it confused like in the manga?
>>288328804SONNA
>>288328804NyooO!
>>288324639Why doesn't sadpanda have a tag for dumb retards like these
>>288327989wtf? Is Nao a chinese communist?
>>288324639Which girl is stupider? The answer may surprise you
I really thought she wouldn't be fooled again. I was sure she'd make Fukunaga write her name in front of her. Or think of using the M ticket to force him to write her name.Also this seems like a very interesting premise for a game with lots of potential for both mindgames and The Art of the Deal™. It's a bit unfortunate they skipped 3 rounds without a single person speaking to Nao.
God I want to trick Nao into being my sex slave to pay off her debt
>>288328251but the penalty is 100M, not 1M
>>288325798>implying nao would ever sell her teddy bear>>288327989Ironbros... we are forgotten...
I'm sad they didn't make the superficial link between the downsizing game and downsizing in companiesI think that line added a little more depth to Liar Game
>>288327641At least the ost is great.
I actually believed Fukunaga
>>288328928>The Art of the Deal™
>>288329225Nao...
>>288329225Anao...
>>288324619
>>288328892this shit was too funny to be aroused
>>288329225Me too. I'm such an idiot.
>>288329344>>288329225Wanna play a game?
>>288329225>>288329344Don't worry anons, if you just give me (You)'s I'll promise to give you one back. It's a foolproof plan! None of the other anons will get responses, and we'll get all the dopamine. So make sure you reply to my post, OK?
men really live like this...
>>288329416looks pretty comfy
How far in the games would he go? My bet is up to game four.
>>288329416It looks clean to me.
>>288329370Promise? okay... you got it
>>288329416How does he plan to fuck Nao without a bed?
>>288329447He wouldn't be invited because he'd be playing 4d chess while the others play checkers and Nao plays Solitaire.
>>288329607Solitaire is harder than checkers tho.
>>288329225
>>288324639FELL FOR IT AGAIN AWARD KEK
>>288324080what made me mad is the guys, who seem as retarded as Nao if not more by believing the tranny and going along with his plan. it's already an offence to existence how they choose the troon over a cute girl, but they seem to lack any braincell. they didn't think about shit in 3 whole hours>>288324639kek the "you've been tricked" "I've been lied to" never gets old, it's so funny >>288327989Nao's iron at high speed in the nape would dispel any of fukunigga's plans
>>288329225Yeah I did too since they're both outliers but it would be boring if our favorite bald egg didn't do some shenanigans to stay in the game.
>>288330165>what made me mad is the guystbf they are on the losers' league for a reason.
>>288330390instinctively you should side with the real cute girl instead of the troon who already tricked you. you need a special combination of retardation to choose him over Nao at that point
>>288327989>teddy bearWhat was she even planning to use this for?
>>288330452Except Nao is in universe canonically unattractive
>>288331164It's her retardation that makes her cute not her looks
>>288326190>stops trusting youthats the neat part
>>288331480Yeah we need that edge where she doesn't trust you but still does it because she's retarded and falls for everything. Its like iyakao but retardkao or something
What is the long term strategy for Fukunaga? Doesn't he need allies? Why betray the MC this early when he could do it at any time?
Fukunaga would have such a much easier time winning if she wasn't a complete narcissistic sadistic psychopath but I like to imagine she has a raging hard-on whenever she's explaining her schemes.
>>288324777lol
Do you think Nao actually googled what S and M means after Minority game or she wholeheartedly trusted Akiyama?
>>288331977All to pay for HRT and transition surgery
>>288329416Well, at least he has a roof over his head.
let's be honest here if Fukunaga was here 90% of anons would fall for her tricks
>>288329447The thing about Columbo is that the way he's presented he's not so much a detective who deduces stuff as he is a force of nature with the preternatural ability to always know who the culprit is. In just about every episode he instantly clocks who the killer is and works from there.
>>288331151Emotional support (she really fucking needs it as illustrated this episode)
>>288332192>implying anons would listen to a troon
>>288332040Akiyama-san wouldn't lie to her. I bet she asked her friends at school whether they're S or M.
Fucking AOTY right here
>>288333165retard of the century
>>288333165Next episode she is gonna snap and YWNBAW'd at Fukunaga right?
>>288333321Hahaha...
>>288333321Yes, that's exactly right.
>>288327127Background proportions in this shot look out of place
>Nao please, you got to help me!>I have a disease where if I don't ejaculate every hour I'll die!>here is a doctor's note written on a doctor's pad saying this is true! It's a doctor's prescription pad Nao, it has to be true!>and look below! it says that if any woman nearby doesn't help me cum and I die they will be considered a murderer in court!>it's almost the next hour, there is only 5 minutes Nao! Suck me off to completion with your mouth, I will record it on my phone so that even if you don't finish in time you will have evidence that you tried to save me and won't be tried as a murderer!>hehehe, thanks for "saving" me Nao. That's right! It was 3 minutes after the hour when I came, but I didn't die on the hour! I lied to you! And I recorded you sucking me off and swallowing my cum!>if you don't want this video circulated online and at your school you gotta do what I say from now on!>GAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
>>288333321No, that's what Chudiyama does when he arrives to save Nao.
>>288333165Nao is too pure for this world.
>>288333446>Oh you thought it was Nao who sucked your dick?
Transphobia almost won today
>>288333566
>yeah I have cash to spare, teehee~>do you guys not have money?Nao behaves like a sheltered rich girl
>>288324985It was funny that Fukunaga remembered to tell Nao not to talk about it, because if he didn't you just know she'd start happily telling everyone how she has a plan to not lose
>>288327285You wouldn't walk away from Nao's show, right anon? She's such a nice girl!
>oh no the retard I ignored is doing retard things>how could this have happened?Akiyama...
>>288326930>odds of lying are 50/50, either he lies or he doesn't>he lies twice (25% chance)Nao is such an unlucky girl!
>>288333654Nao's small breasts...
>>288327641they're adapting the manga so no, it isn't good
>>288333165Nao needs to be protected from herself
>>288333165Aho of the Year
>>288333165That's her face when she find out the pregnancy
>>288334422Giving Nao an allergy pill and telling her it's birth control then cumming inside her and fleeing the country!
>>288333823tbf he's a tsunshitter in a series where the MC has 100x more initiative than the average otomege MC.
>>288324795>likeAnon, I...
We ironically call Nao stupid but so far the show is proving her right, she is the only one without debt
>>288333654>>288333711Never trust a tranny.
>>288326077by an institution
>>288333823Is he going to marry Nao so he can tard wrangle her for the rest of her life?
>>288325043Would be IF SHE PUT THE FUCKING WIG BACK ON
>>288324639Why is everyone lying in the Liar Game?
Every week I pause this anime at least twice and walk around my room because I'm so frustrated at NaoAOTS
Nao butt
>>288324080fuck off generalposter
>>288326611Kaiji-coded scene
Bets on who's getting kicked out?
>>288327146The question is inherently flawed>Between S and M, I am definitely an S>betweenThere's no room for answering "I like both". He could be a sword that occasionally likes being a moat
>Nao, I'm gonna draw the 4p next turn, it's gonna be menzen tanyao pinfu sanshoku>But there's still a way for both of us to win! >Just discard the 1p, it's gonna be pinfu nomi, but it will stop Akagi's hand! We can both get out of this!>Good... good... discard it...>RON, HAHAHAHAHA, YOU FELL FOR IT: KOKUSHI MUSOU>Sonna... AHHHHH, TATSUKETE AKIYAMA-SAN
I think Nao and Bertia would be good friends
There wasn't anyone doing it this thread, but a lot of people in the previous ones going>I hope they get to musical chairs>Musical chairs is peak>Bro, can't wait until they get to musical chairsMade me realize that if Usogui got an anime, we'd 100% have months of the same except that it'd be Protoporos, and there wouldn't be Tower of Karma until halfway through to calm them down (just like Downsizing Game seemingly got all the Musical Chair posters to shut up)
>>288329370you owe me a (You) anon
Why is she such a retard? How did she get into college?
Manga-only post with spoilers.Looking back at Yokoya in the story, it feels like he was half-villain, half-plot device, being an endless money pit for Nao to extract money from to save everybody else, while not feeling guilty for ripping him off.
>>288324639This idiot's modus operandi can be summed up with [pic].
>>288333165I seriously cannot get enough of Nao being tricked and bamboozled. Like a sweet and honest girl in a game full of liars and tricksters is entertaining as hell. Just imagine if she actually lied or tricked someone else, that would be scary as hell.
>>288335436>Never trust a tranny.
This manga went on so many fucking hiatuses, the author had to keep re-stating the premise over and over for new readers.>heh, this is the "Liar Game", meaning a game where you lie, and you've been lied to. nothing personnel.>>288324639 (game 2.5)>>288335922 (game 2)And the teacher in game 1.They're gonna say it in every game until the last one.
>>288337676It's a foreign title for Japs. An average English-speaker would need to be reminded just as many times if it were called the Usotsuki Game.
You know what, fuck it, I'm on the tranny's side. The other players are all retards and deserve it.
Let me guess, the twist is that votes don't matter and what matters is the monopoly bucks they pay Fukunaga for votes.Why do they even pay the tranny, it doesn't make any sense.
>>288335458hopefully yes
>>288336743no one can reach this retarded bitch's level of retardness. Don't sully bertia's name like this, she's based and is doing everything she can to make denka (me) happy.faggot
>>288338371He literally explained in excruciating detail. Do you people watch at 3x speed?
>>288337317she(and most of the participants) has really good memory and ability to do convoluted math in her head, and that is all you need to do well in school.(heck, you only need the memory thing for school)
>>288338617>Abandoned buildingYeah, that's my point, Usogui has a fairly weak beginning, just like Liar Game>ProtoporosWhat? It's one of the most creative arcs in general regarding gambling manga
>>288331830fukunaga needed to move before the others realised M tickets could be used to make contracts and thus lock in their votes
lmao redditors are dropping the showlmao they'll all be gone after next episode
>>288324639
>>288335221Not for long given how the game is currently going for her.
>>288335221the only reason why she won so far, is because she made sad puppy eyes towards one genius guy that has a soft spot for dumb gullible girls
>>288337772>Nao just keeps forgetting what Liar means
>>288326975Even better, it's transphobic, it depicts a transgender character to be scheming and manipulative.
>>288326901There is no way to make your hip bones wider. The real question is how did he pass initially?
>>288338961Sauce?
>>288339673ok tbf it's only like 5 people at most out of 150 people.
sonna...
>>288339545Good thing she has her monolingual Japanese dictionary.
>>288330165>what made me mad is the guys, who seem as retarded as Nao if not more by believing the tranny and going along with his plan. it's already an offence to existence how they choose the troon over a cute girl, but they seem to lack any braincell. they didn't think about shit in 3 whole hoursThere's only one loser in this game. No reason to NOT go in the winner's team. Yes, the tranny fooled them before but it's a different situation. This is to their advantage. Going against the tranny is infinitely riskier.>>288325693>>288325788She'll get better>>288326975I feel like it has some shojo inspiration>>288328328Actually not so much considering losing != death, only debt and potential new games to make up for it.>>288336565Sashikomi is the essence of mahjong and a beautiful dialogue between two players
>>288337023It's less "we need musical chair now!!" and more "well contraband/chairs/vaccine are peak and we're getting contraband thankfully but we really need to escape the sloppy intro game that doesn't really count as a game">>288337360He was a pretty big foil to Akiyama and Nao since he was all about power and fear. Bandana betraying him through the power of TRUST was a great moment>>288338961Why are they mad? They're bugs anyway but I'm curious
Yooooouuuuuu DUMB motherfucker
This isn't a great translation as "trapped" can mean both "I had no way out" and "I was set up" and the latter is the correct interpretation here
But seriously this fucking bitch is too dumb to live and desperately needs to be put out of her misery
Hmmm what could possibly go wrong, she seems like a trustworthy lady, I better do exactly as she saysIt's not like she could shop her foolproof plan around to everyone else so they all vote for her in exchange for her promising to vote for them back, that would be silly
She may be a selfish liar who has screwed me over in the exact same way multiple times, but I have to respect her pronouns
They could've just solved this by telling Nao that Fukunaga had sold her out
I know she's retarded but why would she offer 40 million to win 12.5 millionMath is like the one mental activity she's ever done with any competence
Bets on whose getting kicked? >>288327968 >>288328620
It doesn't make sense that anyone would trust this cunt over the girl who's too stupid to ever consider betrayal
Prediction: it's not, in fact, 100% guaranteed
>>288340497Imagine tricking Nao into anal sex haha
>>288324639HOLY FUCKING KINO
>>288340652Tricking Nao into joining a pyramid scheme...
I hope anime watchers are enjoying Nao being dumbfold the silly rules Next game is where Liar game becomes autism game theory simulator
>>288340317To be fair she couldn't have lied either way because Fukunaga knew her exact situation.
>>288340375Stop hating nice girls!
>>288340887We hate Naoce girls here.
Why is there a bald chick
>>288341210she's a he
>>288341300Fake boobas?
>>288339550It's actually extremely trans positive to depict a trans woman to be every bit as lying, egocentric and manipulative as a real one.
>>288341336Breast implants IIRC but manga readers will tell you better.
>>288340603I think it's less "we don't trust her" and more "let's side with the strongest"
>>288340602He already got kicked though >>288327116
>>288340586My understanding is that you don't actually get any money from your own tickets, just from the ones others give you, but I may be wrong because that whole part was not explained well really.
SONNA MASAKA BAKANA???DID XHIR LE LIED???IT CANNOT BEAIEEEEEEE AKIYAMASAN!!>incel spider senses activated>oh no noe is in le trouble! I can feel it! A masterpiece, riveting story telling.
>weekly schizos for 4 more months
>>288340603It would make even less sense to team up with a retard in a battle of wits.
I finished the manga a few months ago, but whenever I think about the story, I always overlook the downsizing game like it's some kind of footnote.But now that I think about it, it actually has some pretty good moments.
>>288341636This, unironically
>>288340497How could this happen, why would anyone lie in a game called "Liar Game"?
>>288341636This is nothing compared to the absolute cinema live action>Iie...>*SHOFF* *SHOFF* *SHOFF*>*knife sharpening sounds*>*triple camera zoom in*>*slomo Akiyama head raise*>Sore wa dou, ka na?>*BRAAAAAA DA NA* *BRAAAAAA DA NA*>*10x jump cut*>*earthquake hits the cameraman*>*everyone dies and goes flying in different directions*>*Fukunaga crashes into the roof*>*camera spinning rapidly*>*Hawaiian shirts fall out of his pockets*
>>288341834I mean, it's not even spider senses, iirc she suddenly stopped calling him.
>>288328472
Wait I don't understand how Fukunaga got 10 points in the first round? And why does he keep getting points in the next rounds? Who's voting for him?
>>2883422225 votes from Mohawk as he promised to do it or pay 100 million yen as a penalty.5 votes from Nao because she's naive and believed the traitor would betray her again.
>>288342222I believe all 8 players other than Nao formed contracts in 4 groups of 2 to vote for a single other player exclusively, netting everyone exactly 5 votes every round, plus whoever Nao votes for.
I ship Nao with the punk guy
I think you could convince Nao to let you touch her butt in less than a minute.
>>288341636SONNA
>>288343308This moment was fucking funny.Just getting in her own head (because she's a woman) and then bawling her eyes out and calling for help... all because she was thinking too much.
>>288342395>plus whoever Nao votes for.Does Nao even have to vote? I forget if the rules said anything about that.
I'm going to protect Nao.
I'm going to wear protection with Nao.
>>288343567No illegible votes allowed, which I assume means no blank votes either.
>>288342977Funny because this actually happens later in the story
>>288344144SONNA
That Nao is a retard is a given at this point, so that the one who is betraying her and betrayed everyone there can just walk up to the others and tell them how Nao is totally gonna buy one of them off so they better pay up and do contracts, makes them look that much dumber. There are layers of stupidity here, where Nao at the very least was only dumb enough to get lied to yet again, while the others went through>listening to the worse person they wanted to get rid off>going back on their own plan buying into said perma-traitor>by instantly believing Nao of all people would be capable of bribing someone
>>288344336u dont get this writing is 2 HIGH BROW fo r u bro
4 ways Nao can still win
>>288326004Yes, in the institution of marriageTo me
>>288327572>Eh? Reflexology?>You need someone to practice on...?
>>288344860Isn't Refle mainly a JK thing?
>>288344336You could argue it makes more sense to kick Nao out first because>Fukunaga's selfishness is a known quantity whereas Nao is a wild card>they know Fukunaga is broke from how the second round ended, he can't bribe anyone without money>since the rules only allow one person to lose, Fukunaga can't pull something to screw over everyone>they can always throw Fukunaga under the bus in the next game where the stakes are higher
>>288345272You mean """massage""" parlor employees? I meant more along the lines of having an excuse to fondle Nao's legs.
>anime-onlies sneething at Nao's retardation>but baffled by manga-readers' love for her
>>288324639>haha I tricked Nao, I'm such a geniusI can't believe she is still so proud of pulling off that "feat". Fukunaga pls, that's like stealing a candy from a child, it's just not impressive anymore
>>288345671I find her retardation endearing and fun to seethe at. I'm more upset by every main antagonist so far also being retarded and unable to actually keep a facade up instead of gloating like a cartoon villain.
>>288345724Because we haven't gotten to the real antagonists of the series yet.
>>288345724So far only the tranny is a real decent contender
>>288345750That's a dumb excuse that only works in hindsight though. The later parts of something being good doesn't vanish the flaws of the earlier parts. Especially true for manga that is clearly not written with much of a plan for the future with how fickle their survival is.
>>288345951NTA but while I wont excuse the first "game" I think Fukunaga's a pretty good asshole
>>288345940>troon acts excessively theatricalCan confirm this is true to lifet. live in NYC
in retrospective these games are way worse than I remember. Every single one so far consists of:>Nao shooting herself in the foot repeatedly by blindly trusting other people>the bad guy trying to win all the money for him/herself and fuck over everyone else>bunch of retarded sheep secondary participants that are predictable with 100% accuracy by the only 2 people that know what's going on (Akiyama and the bad guy)>"a surefire way to win the game!">Akiyama saving Nao at the last moment>Nao going to another game anywayI don't remember future games anymore but sure hope we'll get a a little deviation from this dumb pattern
>>288345986>>288345940Fukunaga is the single biggest offender of ruining her own plans by blathering like a complete moron and being needlessly antagonistic though. She's written like an evil overlord and even then it would come across as cheesy. I can't believe the supposed smartest person in the room thinks repeatedly kicking someone in the face is the smart choice when a single betrayal can ruin her whole plan.
>>288346058Only some of them do. Depends on the context, really.
>>288346099If we're talking about the previous game it's definitely a fuckup because it makes it 100% clear who the traitor is but he would still not win even if he didn't gloat, it'd just improve his future chancesViolence isn't a very smart idea here but I can't say it's *stupid* either. These guys are easily led and mostly just want to stay out of trouble. The biggest snake in the room has his eyes on the naive lady with money and no debt, just DON'T do anything to cross him it's common sense! I think him beating up someone for even talking to Nao would realistically deter even a little more people from trying to do this.That said it's also a deliberate character trait of his if I remember well, when shit hits the fan later he's the first one going VIOLENCE (impotently, it doesn't fix anything)
>>288346083Most of these will still happen.>Nao shooting herself in the foot repeatedly by blindly trusting other peopleBecomes rare>the bad guy trying to win all the money for him/herself and fuck over everyone elseThe bad guys share with their underlings>bunch of retarded sheep secondary participants that are predictable with 100% accuracy by the only 2 people that know what's going on (Akiyama and the bad guy)Always>"a surefire way to win the game!"That's just the cliffhanger of half the chapters>Akiyama saving Nao at the last momentNever happens again>Nao going to another game anywayHer mission statement is saving everyone else from getting debts.
>>288346083>the bad guy trying to win all the money for him/herself and fuck over everyone elseThat's kind of the whole point isn't it? Smart people will try to win BIG, not just decent wins.>bunch of retarded sheep secondary participants that are predictable with 100% accuracyDepends but overall I can't say they make stupid decisions. I'd hate that kind of stuff normally but in Liar Game these decisions these NPCs make are more motivated by a mix of rational game theory and human psychology. For instance, you have in the vaccine game these two guys who Nao can't convince to step back into the game to save others even if it's only a 1% risk of being scammed somehow, but they end up agreeing to help her block the rooms, a smaller favor>"a surefire way to win the game!"Also kind of the whole point. These games either have "looks good on paper exploit but that wont work with actual people who wont listen" (usually proposed by Nao), or real exploits that would require considerable setup and intellect to pull off in order to gain some specific kind of advantage.
>>288331164Is she? I only remember one character commenting on her appearance, saying she's "pretty cute" and might be sold into prostitution.
>>288346099The thing is, Fukunaga isn't very smart. He is the 100 IQ retard laughing at the 80 IQ retards.
>>288346395He's alright, I think he's got some pretty decent planning. Too emotional though
>>288346419That is what I mean though. He isn't very smart, he is just smart in comparison to the rest of the NPC fodder characters, but isn't that intelligent in the grand scheme of things.
>>288346480He's not on Akiyama or Yokoya level but he's kind of the next best thing. 100 IQ is probably a bit harsh I'm not sure I'd come up with the "three teams" bullshit on the minority game.
>>288334152I hope she gets the same character development as in the manga.Simply because the weekly schedule would make the contrast even more jarring, making it that much funnier.
>>288346395He probably was smarter but got nerfed due to estrogen
>>288346501Nao-chan is still growing in many ways!
This game is pretty boring, thank god smuggle game is next.
>>288347462Oh shit already?
>>288347487It should be, I'm assuming Downsizing goes for 4 - 5 episodes, Smuggle game is gonna take a lot of time, probably gonna use the remainder of the cour for it since there's so many twist in it.
>>288347462It's got some upcoming nice moments. (MASSIVE SPOILERS)Nao tricking Fukunaga with the cardsNao and Akiyama jacking up vote pricesThe NPCs failing to beat Akiyama's strategyNao saving mohawk
>>288346395120iq (certified) bros.... we stay winning!
>>288347576It does have some good moments, but Yokoya is where I think the series really comes to life and characters start getting some real depth to them and stop being retarded every game.
>>288346480>>288346395>erm actually the character is just stupidYes, anon, that's the fucking problem. A story about mindgames isn't entertaining if it's being played by idiots.
My superior IQ would prevent me from entering the game in the first place, even if I was in debt. For the record, I would never be in debt, because I am too smart.
The first game was so bad I am shocked the manga wasn't axed back in the day
>>288344336As far as they can tell, Nao is making bank and still decided to return to the game, that's a red flag to them.
>>288349558Fukunaga isn't stupid though, his minority game plan was solid. And so is this one
>>288350172>Fukunaga isn't stupidRefer to the comment chain for why she is, actually. You seem to be avoiding the point.
>>288350264I already answered >>288346155
>>288345361>>288350092Maybe that thinking makes sense for the other 6, but the 1 single guy who agreed to vote for Fukunaga and throw Nao under the bus is the S&M faggot who saw the last round of the previous game unfold. He knows Nao isn't here to fuck them all over, he knows Nao is a victim of Fukunaga, and he knows Nao only has any money at all because she happened to be on on Akiyama's team. 2/3rds of Fukunaga's victims were saved by Akiyama and #15, they didn't "make bank".
>Nao and Kaiji swap series >Akiyama isn't allowed to help NaoHow well do they do in their new settings? I think that Kaiji would fair surprisingly well in Liar Game but Nao ain't making it off Espoir
>>288350322The show could definitely do with some Fumihiko Tachiki narration at least, it would make everything 100% more intense
>>288350318>2/3rds of Fukunaga's victims were saved by Akiyama and #15, they didn't "make bank".Wrong, they all made bank because Akiyama moved on into the game, which means his dropout money was split amongst the other players on the two teams. Nao has a legit 40 million surplus at this point in time.
>>288324639i kneel...
>ctfl+F "sonna">10 results
>>288350289So she's not stupid, she just has a character trait that makes her act stupid.
>>288350471No, he made some really SOLID calls, and made his very strong position moderately worse because of hubris but didn't throw the game on that
>>288350382>sonna...SONNA>Sonna!SONNA!!!
>>288350322The problem is that Kaiji is a dofus unless his back is against the wall when his brain finally activates.He 1000% gets tricked but then gets out, however, only after racking up a shit ton of debt to execute whatever plan he came up with.
>>288350471I think what you are missing is that all gloating happens at a point where the tricks get revealed but the added information is irrelevant for the end result.
>>288350388You ignored the entire rest of the post. Nao has a surplus by pure coincidence of being on one of the 2/3 teams saved by Akiyama and #15, not because she's a cutthroat who won the game by herself. S&M saw her personality on display when she started crying after Fukunaga's betrayal. He's the one person who should have at least heard her reasoning before siding with the guy who fucked him over like a retard. Then she'd say "I came here to help Akiyama" and he could've made the exact same deal to secure 50 votes via M tickets, but with Nao instead of Fukunaga.
>>288350322At the beginning of their respective series?>NaoEven the weaker Kaiji villains aren't full on retards, she 100% doesn't survive Restricted RPS, we don't see any women in the undeground work camp, so it's fair to assume any woman who lost in the Espoir is sold into prostitution >KaijiHe unironically falls for the teacher's scam, but comes up with the "pretend to be an LGT officer" bit on his own. In minority rule, he essentially takes the place of Akiyama and it all otherwise plays out the same. Downsizing game will have to be figured out by someone else, I'm an animeonly
>>288350975I think Kaiji needs to be at his part 2+ level of gambler to pull off Akiyama shit
people told me this show was supposed to be 1000 IQ and good
>>288351941It is
>>288351941Would she be jealous of Fukunaga's tits?
>>288351941Filtered lol
>>288351941Pretty cool show so far
>>288350322I think Kaiji does better at physical puzzles. He draws inspiration for schemes from his physical environment and his observation skills are great. However his formal, abstract thinking and maths isn't as good. Maybe he would struggle with the more abstract rule-heavy games in Liar Game.Also due to gambling being mostly absent from the games maybe he would never get that adrenaline rush. Plus the LGT don't really scare you so maybe Kaiji would feel too nonplussed. If Kaiji lost he'd probably wait around for LGT to come for them, pushing his luck, and then get informed the truth.Nao would get eviscerated by the gambling games HOWEVER she is a patient functioning adult who can hold a job, so she could handle Endo's loan of 3.85M at 15% per annum. Apparently the average japanese worker had 3M in disposable income, so I'm sure Nao could dedicate 1.68M or 140k/mo to the loan every year, to pay it off within 3 years. (If she can only put in 1.2M or 100k/mo, then the loan would take 4 years to pay off).But I guess Endo could also easily convince her to go on the Espoir anyway.On the espoir she might nope out after they tell her to borrow millions of yen at 1.5%/10min, having a strong maths abiltity. I realise that a loophole in the espoir is to take cards off people for money, and purposefully lose you can leave the game and afterwards pay off your debts with your winnings.
>>288351941It's called Liar Game
>>288351941More iq than you. You'd probably fall for Fukunaga's scheme too.
>>288350322Kaiji tilts the building so YES and NO voting ballots switch places as he needs. Loses all his money anyway.Nao asks Akagi to help and he solves everything for her.
>>288353503We're going for a seven part infinity war CE I get what I want but do you? My compliments to your torturer.
>>288346501Damn, what a growth spurt.
>>288326004I would marry her and trick her into believing that creampies are a great way to ward off evil spirits and prevent bad luck.
Nao is a bunny. Akiyama is a fox. Fukunaga is a snake.There must be at least one of fanart of that, right?
>>288356988>Nao is a bunny>Fukunaga is a snake"Nao-chan! I have something caught in my throat, and it's driving me crazy! Would you please climb inside my mouth to dislodge it?"
>>288351941You will not understand contraband I guarantee it
>sheLOL
>>288356988I would breed Nao like a bunny
>>288357142she learns how to doubt people after l ticket round btw.
>>288356366Making her wear lewd underwear and convincing her its perfectly normal for cum to drip down her legs at work
Convincing Nao to walk around with multiple vibrators stuffed inside both holes!
>>288357934Telling her no one can hear the super loud vibrators and not to worry about it or the faces she's making that we totally can't see either!
>>288357957Lying to her that other girls also do it all the time, they're just better at hiding it because they're not stupidly honest like Nao is!
>>288358007Genius.>she starts talking to her coworkers and female friends about itTruly genius
>>288358033Obviously I'd mention it's a matter of privacy that girls never talk about, the same way they don't describe the way they wipe their butts after taking a dump to each other
>>288358056Ruined. I wasn't sarcastic.
>>288358094Well in that case our approaches can just diverge there, each copy of Nao is personalized after all
>>288358104Your copy of Nao is so done for once my copy of Nao meets her
>>288358133I don't doubt it, I intend to train my Nao to have such a sensitive pussy that she's just constantly orgasming, she'll be too busy cumming herself stupid(er)
Love NaoHug NaoKiss Nao
Sunao>Nao
Wait a minute Fukunaga does what for a living? Who's buying boy pussy exactly
>>288359704It's more guys wanting to be cornholed by a new half.
>>288359704>21>high school studentDoubt
>>288359704No one, we're sucking dick
>>288351941It's 10000 IQ and excellent!
zoomers hate this animeit's over
>>288360329This anime is made for creepy ojiisans, just like Nao
>>288360329Why?>>288360418WHY?!
>>288361061That's because Ojisans are the main customers of prostitution, and Nao is clearly built for that type of work.
>>288361492>nao is the only woman amongst the competitors>she can sell her body for votesnaruhodo
It's very reassuring to know that Nao would definitely help and suck the poison out when a snake inevitably bites my penis.
>>288359780maybe he's a literal retard like sunao?
>>288361800what color is the poison?
>>288361832I feel like you could even be honest and say you came and apologize for coming in a serious situation and she'd forgive you and keep sucking out the poison
>>288362066>Oh...! W-well, it can't be helped... I still haven't got the poison out, so stay still, I'm gonna keep sucking!
>>288362066>>288362943at this point we gotta consider: if you honestly said you just want her to suck you off because she turned you on and she should take responsibility - would she actually do it? I feel like she might just be that stupid, but not sure
Jut want to let you know that you're a bad person like Fukunaga if you actually want to take advantage of poor innocent Nao-chan.
