Let's goo hello OP.>>290125169Don't forget the janny and mod karamete.
>>290125399Thank you OP, this is my favorite part of this arc
>>290125492The cocky motherfucker
>>290125492Masterful bluff
>>290125537Pwned
>>290125565BigGigerPenis
As for todays game i thought about doing our own hangman. I give you people a word and you try to guess it.The context has something with usogui but only about thinks that are known for till this point of the run so new people can join in.As in how i draw the Hangman.The last number on your post dedicates how many parts of the drawing are being added but it cant go over five.So as example you say a wrong letter and your post ends on a 4. I will add 4 lines to to hanged man.It's all of "you" against all of "me"We do a best of five.
>>290125537Sadakunibros... we're not even Level 2 tier...
As for how many mistakes are done till you lose i would say 15 so it fits what was mentioned last chapter.That "you" guys can lose in only 3 rounds
>>290125618So we're guessing letters? I'm going to start with E.
>>290125618Sounds fun. How many lines to lose?
>>290125660Gonna start next chapter. I will give some empty lines like:_ _ _ _ _ so you people know many letters it has but we have to decide on the rules.Only words or also sentences?
>>290125675Nvm>>290125659
>>290125688>Baki threads
>>290125688Either one works, which ever you can think of. Also I presume we start after the dump?
>>290125688I'd prefer to start after the dump so I can focus on the story but you decide. It's usually just words right?
>>290125712goudou is strong
>>290125737Baku-san is hiding his anxiety... did he win the 50/50 gamble?!
>>290125712Kek
>>290125715Jimmy Neutron looking ass
Also i will go after the orders of "You" i got
>>290125779Good quote. Imagine if this becomes relevant in Genikasuri.
>>290125779Jesus fucking christ Sako
>>290125734>>290125727Sure we can do it after the dump then
>>290125734Also i saw people play with sentences as well what do you prefer.Only words or sentences as well?
>>290125715>>290125737Reminds me of a certain Vincent...
>>290125837>>290125816Why crumple the cards? Wouldn't the refs want to check the joker?>>290125864Wait... Usogui didn't draw the joker, did he?
>>290125826oh Baku didn't know either lol. I guess the referees still confirm it, hhave to read the explanation after the game again. Hmm but Baku drops his crumpled cards too...
>>290125837Sounds good.>>290125864Considering we might add many lines for every wrong guess, sentences might be too hard to guess, so I propose words only.
>>290125979Words will contain fewer different letters tho so it's less of a chance of getting a "hit"...
Since we're discussing the hangman rules, I like the idea of the last digit being the number of steps, but it should be like every two numbers is one more step, so0 or 1 -> 1 step2 or 3 -> 2 steps4 or 5 -> 3 steps6 or 7 -> 4 steps8 or 9 -> 5 stepsBecause otherwise even if you cap it at 5 you've got a way higher chance of getting a 5 than any other number of steps.
>>290126014Maybe so.
>>290126036Sure sounds good.If it's digits then a free try?No scripts plz
>>290126073One of the six cameras is blank
>>290126041Kaji did what?>>290126073Sure. But how do I say this... cheating that hasn't been uncovered by the anons won't be dealt with by the mods.
>>290126094Terrorist-kun, did you prehaps lie?
>>290126112Huhhh
>>290126170Kaji is literally me during my first read of Usogui
>>290126148Album art
>>290126113Got me :P we'll see how it ends
>>290125864totally not suspicious
>>290126183Stop Baku! He can see you peeking!
>>290126176We leveled up alongside him>>290126183Lol
>>290126183Love bits like this
>>290126222'Kuni was cheating? Sonna...
>>290126238>>290126288Wonder what Karl is thinking.
>>290125492That's pretty fucking cool
>>290126183Absolutely masterful trolling game here
>>290126183is baku using his zety powers to hide his presence?
>>290126073In this whole gamble I wish they showed this perspective of the people watching earlier
There are no pages missing but for some reason i can upload page 4 and 5 so i renamed the jpeg for this chapter now.

>>290127087masaka! kaji is the true 5d chessmaster!
>>290127087Kaji? The MVP of the manga.
>>290126557>You are not the one.
>>290127182My HERO said THE THING.
>>290127182He said it!
>>290126676Hey it's that image of him that gets used at the beginning of so many volumes
>>290127182Crunch>>290127159Yeah Sadakuni believed his own hype.
>>290126810He didn't even have to do that, he just went the extra mile to bamboozle the guy
>>290127159>>290127182i cant believe i once thought sadakuni was cooler than baku, what a fool i have been.
>>290127087You know Kaji predicted all of this
What shampoo does Baku-san use?
>>290127248It's not too late to change, Mekama.

>>290127292He has the collection of charcoal, rosemary oil, hair masks etc. Kyara has the 25-in-1 men's hygiene product.
>>290127379Wtf rude
>>290127379I feel like this guy isn't nice
>>290127410And now his transformation into Ryuk is complete
>>290127441I was gonna say I wonder if Yakou is upset about being called a debt collector when he's a ref now, but he did call himself a debt collector literally just before this arc started so I guess he doesn't mind.
>>290127478>48 members>101 referees
>>290127410I don't understand why this guy chimps out, Yakou says it doesn't matter if referees aren't neutral
>>>290126953camera eye is such bullshit, what is next fucking sonar.
>>290127538Yeah but there's a difference between being biased when interpreting rules and going out of your way to directly work with your client.
>>290127551His clothes have a mind of their own!
>>290126178Lmao Gamblerz
>>290127631W-why do you specifically need handsome waiters?
That's it for today!Thanks for reading and dont be a liar anon or the Deception Devourer will come for you!See you tomorrow for the first half of Volume 6!I will post the rules of the game again in the next post

>>290126183This page was the first moment I got hooked on Usogui, it's so perfect. Devious mysteriously handsome man doing absolutely dastardly deeds
>>290128370Early Usogui, with its so called "bad art", has tons of pages that would've been the highlight of other series
>>290126786Shinpachibros...
>>290126835Humiliation ritual

>>290126908>>290126960Guys... is Baku a schizo? This sort of medical technology doesn't even exist
>>290127538>>290127564Leaning towards a member because you were charmed is one thing, outright cooperating with them to overthrow Kakerou and the Japanese government is outright treason. All referees are loyal to the boss, or they should be.
>>290127714Thank you OP
>>290129008Baku just has a great imagination and he constantly experiments to find out clues.He's more of a schizo for putting his life in that much danger just to keep confiming what he figured out already.
>>290128630>>290128563Baku posts here?
>>290128904>>290129002The art stopped being bad and more stylized here, but yeah it's very gritty and feels right at home with the subject matter before the switch to ludicrously handsome that happens next arc.
>>290129189The man just knows what he wants. I doubt we'll ever get an actual confirmation because the loose ends and sequel is up to Toshio but I suspect either Baku's always been like this because of his upbringing or losing his heart in the organ game turned him into an even more degenerate gambler than before. He's basically trying to live his best life or die trying at this point, all the high IQ mental bullshit he does is ultimately for the self-satisfaction of making people in power seethe. He just happens to act as a force of good by circumstance One could say he's a real gentleman thief, a robin hood. One might even say... an enigmatic gale
>>290129008He's a schizo who just happens to be so insanely lucky that all his schizoid delusions accidentally end up being true.
>>290129317thems are some big spoilers, sure hope anons don't get curious.We don't know his upbringing, do we? I also have a vague memory that Baku more or less sold his heart to aquire the funds needed to start his insane plots. I'm propably wrong on that, but we'll see in 90 days or so.
>>290127087The SMARTEST
>>290129330That's /ourprotagonist/>>290129450 The organ game didn't have much context but I assume that the guy who looked like Baku++ must be related to him somehow, even though the surgeon was a well known plastic surgeon I feel like that might be cheaper writing than usual for Usogui and undermine the themes of bloodline and fate that were present in the final arc
>>290129513there was dialogue about how you inherit the characteristics of your organ donor, pretty sure that was meant to be the reason the guy looked like Baku.Either way, sequel to Usogui never ever and I'm sort of fine with that.
>>290129558 I'm not even sure what that was going for frankly, but I suppose after a decade the potential is much higher than whatever the reality will be so I can agree with that assessment. It's a shame though, the weight gamble was perfection
>>290125715Wait, is he counting something?
>>290127087I was gonna say that he was lucky that this happened and that the cameras have a blindspot, but I guess once he figured it out he could've revealed it and won at any time anyway.
>>290125789He's fuming.
>>290127159Sadcunny bros...
>>290129673It's a technique he's doing to keep the timing steady on the camera switching It's implied he does it every 10 seconds but it could be a different situation and instead it happens every full rotation
>>290129673>>290129726Holy... bros.... I think this is foreshadowing. This is implying Baku has an IMMACULATE internal clock, which makes a lot of sense for the rest of the arcs. You'll see what I mean when we get there
>>290125864Tricky, I'm not sure what Baku is counting. If I have to guess, he's counting the delay of communication between glasses and his ally who's watching the stream. What I'm not sure is how he is taking advantage of glasses' nearsightedness.
>>290129229I like the way it uses text and onomatopoeia as visual storytelling. It's a bit more noticeable in the original, but Duwang Scans do a good job of keeping the same feeling
>>290126112Sleight of hand? Is this guy actually farsighted instead?
>>290129845I wish I knew what Japanese manga onomatopoeia mean, I just know menacing from Jojo
>>290126183What the fuck is happening? Is glasses fucking blind?
>>290126557He sure is mad.
>>290126786Kek, he doodled on the fucking card!
>>290126908I WAS KIDDING WHEN I ASKED IF GLASSES IS BLIND! WHAT THE FUCK!?
>>290126931>>290126953This right here is some bullshit, but it's amusing so I'll let it pass. I was sure glasses got someone peeking for him.
>>290127087I'm not sure if Kaji is luckmaxxing.
>>290130036>>290130073Always love seeing raw reactions when someone reads this dope ass shit.
>>290127204>that there might be an unneutral referee>>290127230Bitch, I don't want to hear that from your bald fuck when you tried taking Marco without Kaji agreeing to the bet before.
>>290127410Oh, it is a duel challenge.
>>290127714Thanks OP.
>>290129712Kek, don't call him that. I will fell bad for him.
>>290130191I got rused into thinking glasses is nearsighted. They fucking lied, how could they?
>>290130443>manga called The Lie Eater>Main character eats lies and liars (metaphorically)>how could [Big Liar] engage in [Big Lie]I don't blame you though Sada's arc has some excellent misdirection. And somehow the answer is hidden in plain sight, like his permanently washed out eyes or his weird mannerisms, or the focus on the cameras randomly. An even bigger misdirection is the presumption that one of the manhunters was working with him
>>290130443If you want to feel truly rused, reread starting from Sadakuni's introduction to see how blatant his blindness is.If you look closely, you may notice some other things as well...
>>290130779>RPS>Baku dropping the joker and starts tapping>Baku blatantly swapping the front and back cards when looking for his fucking kariumeAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>290131222He's also the only character permanently drawn with those eyes
Sadakuni's camera on his glasses was actually shown before the reveal, so that's cool. The casino lady explained how she can cheat to help Baku and that made me sure of my assumption that Sadakuni got someone from the betting audience to help him.>>290131282That's also neat, he's also doing a lot of>...
>>290131222Do not feel ashamed, anon; that stuff is pretty subtle so you'll miss it if you aren't looking for it.Also, if you let yourself get worked up over Hangman, then you won't stand a chance during the later gambles.
>>290131222Make sure you don't have any medical issues with elevated heart rate or at least keep your meds handy so you don't die over the later gambles.
>>290127685>>290127787Tried something
>>290131891Good job anon, had me laughing
>>290131891I kek'd, good one
Camera eyes is kinda bullshit but it made for some cool panelsBut how did baku figure out the timing exactly?
>>290132022I'm guessing he noticed the camera movements or reasoned it with some powerful schizo mental-gymnastics from moving into the blind spots, Sadakuni's posing to reveal the cards rather than looking at them himself, and from how long it took him to react to things like RPS or dropped cards.
>>290132022He noticed that the shooting caused a reactionHe spotted the lie about being nearsightedHe tested his reaction lag, not his vision with RPSFrom there it's just a series of checks at precise times to find out his vision range and to make sure he isn't just assuming.
>>290125537Baku's obsession with Pooyan always kills me on a reread. It gets brought up in such serious conversations like nothing.
>>290132229I never ended up getting the point, I sort of understood later that Baku is kind of just a geek and a nerd when he's not a gamba junkie
>>290130073If it makes you feel better the manga never pulls bullshit like this again, at least not as some big twist
>>290133282> Synesthesia. Though it's a lot less bullshit lol
Finally got a pack of these at the Asian market. They're kinda gross desu
>>290133684Anon... isn't a gambler...
>>290132229it got imprinted on him it's because it's one of the things he used to do with souichi before he LIED
>>290128689If you're taking suggestions for game ideas, then how about chess played through posts with moves noted in algebraic notation? If standard chess is too vanilla/boring, there's also the option of variants like duck chess.
>Dude I use cyborg eyes to hack the cameras LMAOUsoguifags, this is your peak gambling manga?
>>290134088You should try and read the volume again anon, unless you prehaps are lying
>>290125537that game FUCKED ME UP in MGS Peace Walker
>>290126835Baku drew the J-ACK!!!
>>290133684Doesn't Usogui claim it's an acquired taste? he eats it for his heart medication too, must be gigarich to get someone to prepackage those into his kariume
>>290127087Seriously how's KUSOgui gonna win if KaijGOD didn't shoot down that camera???
>>290135433Kaji is Usogui’s X factor in almost every gamble. He’s his most valuable asset. equal to Hal I would say
>>290135433It would have been much less glamorous for sure
By the end of this manga, you’ll be thinking Kaji is the true mvp.
>>290135467>>290135538Kaji definitely has his loser moments, but he's quite based.
If mekama has camera glasses why weren't those on the loop? The knife throw would have been near impossible otherwise
>>290130443Nao...
>>290133684I want it.>>290133733Heartbreaking.
>>290135377Pretty sure it already IS "that". Look up plum.
>>290133684Do they got that Kari Kari crunch?
>>290136043I meant sadakuni woops
>>290136107He can switch, he switches back to the glasses after the game.
>>290136126Still though he should have had his glasses on the loop, or at the very least it have been a manual switch instead of a timed one. The moment he lost a feed having a manual switch would have saved him
>>290136126In hindsight imagine if he didn't, he would watch himself get hanged
>>290136180A manual switch may not have helped since the broken camera still creates a blind spot in the roomHis scheme is kind of stupid though since someone could put their cards on the table face down and then it turns into nothing but luck.
>>290136258Or just a quick peek and holding the cards to your chest
>>290136258Maybe, but that probably only happens after he's won a few times so the luck is very much on his side. The game being short is a big advantage.
The biggest issue with the camera thing is that it isn’t a good idea even if you have the technology It would have been far cheaper and easier to pull a hans nielman or similar with the same access to cameras
Hangman arc was a lot better than I remembered, I guess knowing the trick instead of being blindsided by it helps a lot.>>290130073I like it even if bullshit because we get to see Baku experimenting and testing his theory. Like I can imaging his thought process going something like>something is weird about this guy, he seems off>alright he's clearly blind, maybe someone is feeding him tips on my cards using the cameras, lets try getting in the way of that and see what happens>no this guy is outright acting as if he was seeing through the cameras, does tech that advanced really exist already?>well it's clearly the only thing that makes sense at this point, now how can I use this to troll the fuck out of himAs the gamble progresses.>>290133306Synesthesia is just a weird detail to characterise the opponent anyway, from what I remember it wasn't relevant to the outcome of the gamble in any way since communicating through the pipes worked fine even without it
>>290136597Wasn't it more for mapping out the rooms and the communication was just a way to tell the results?
Here hoping for more edits
>>290136258>His scheme is kind of stupid though since someone could put their cards on the table face down and then it turns into nothing but luck.He's capitalising on the opponents hubris, The type of person to set up such an elaborate cheat to guarantee a win isn't going to suddenly be okay with leaving things up to chance unless they become really desperate, and Baku is great and leading people on and keeping them thinking they're winning right until the rugpull. He's "the lie eater" for a reason, after all.
>>290136684Yeah, the easiest way to beat Baku would be to just have an "actual" 50/50 gamble, though he will definitely try to influence the type of the gamble, prepare beforehand and cheat as much as he can.
>>290136617Oh maybe I misremembered then. In my defence it's been like 5 years.
>>290136246That's morbid but fascinating. He could have triggered Death Filing and ascended instead of becoming a Remnant Psyche in Baku's mind. These are just Suda51 game terms, Usogui has slight Suda51 vibes sometimes.
>>290136258Yep, so Baku made 'Kuni feel like he had the upper hand by not exposing the cheat and kept showing his cards. It was Baku who didn't want Sadakuni to stop cheating and turn it into a battle of luck.
>>290136597Yes this inductive reasoning is like porn to me.
>>290136043I think he swapped back to the glass camera after the gamble but the movement would be too suspicious during the gamble. And also, he neither wanted to rely on luck nor did he want to stoop to Usogui's level and mindgame him since he's a narcissist. Maybe the only genuine narcissist in the manga. An alternative situation is that he was doing his divine rebel leader larp for so long that it became his new internal self, and he couldn't differentiate it during the gamble. It was overconfidence
>>290136597>>290136617 Synesthesia was the key for Baku to deceive the guy though, the pipe communication worked without it but only the Labyrinth guy actually got the full value out of it. Like I said, a lot less bullshit but still one of those moments.
>>290136684>>290136697I always find it funny that Baku is characterized as shit at simpler games like RPS or that he loses coin tosses.
>>290131891Lel
>>290137847Baku is a gambler not a gamer
>>290127159Reminds me of Luohan
I'm actually reading through Usogui again myself but reading the raws this time. If anyone has any questions about lines that seemed confusing in the scans that you always wondered about, let me know and I can check them.
I don't know if anybody would want this, but I made a Pastebin for the storytime.https://pastebin.com/9HGt1efZ
>>290140988The clever creep line for one
>>290142172Any one in particular? I can't think of a specific chapter he says that in.
>>290142204>>290127058He also says it during the abandoned building
>>290142172It's just キモ冴えてる. He's not saying Kaji is a creep, just using "creepy" as a like playful intensifier for Kaji's "perceptiveness". Like "you're eerily perceptive" or something. Even the narrator uses the "clever" part to talk about Kaji way later during the Labyrinth game.
>>290142796Eerily perceptive is probably the most apt translation but it wouldn't translate well into the nicknames Baku likes to use for people I think.
>>290141324Nice.
>>290143077Yeah I dunno how I'd turn it into a nickname either.
>>290143304Maybe something like like a smart spook, but English doesn't lend itself well to nicknames without shortening things. Calling Kaiji devious might be the best I can come up with
>>290143304He’s scary good
>>290138286He can beat level 1 of Pooyan tho.
>>290145044I heard he even beat level 3 once...
>>290136097Yes it is crunchy, like a pickle. I tried doing the thing where he bites it and pulls his head back all crazily and accidently made it fall on the floor
>>290145450Kek
>>290145450Now you know how hard Baku worked to be able to pull that off
wait im catching up
>346 repliesYeah i think i will start a new thread
>>290147276Ye it's a new volume too so makes sense.
NEW THREAD>>290147382
