>>291664698>>291664713Did Lalo find the meta for Protoporos?
>>291664713I really like this page.
>>291664655Why is Baku so broken up about Kaji’s arm? He’s still alive and kicking, Kaji has been through worse
>>291664755Brilliant.
>>291664733He went for the Sturdy Shedinja strategy
Nice page
>>291664810My hero, Baku, has NEVER lost his virginity

>>291664994RUSED
>>291664975Lol that face
>>291664899i dont get it, how did he got back to the throne room so fast?
>>291664854Damn, drawing chapters like this must take a lot of time, surely more that a week.
>>291665034This is a flashback
So is this after his talk with Kyara? Why was he acting all upset if this was always his plan?
>>291665045Baku is a little of a drama queenw
>>291665045It's a flashback, we are being shown why Baku is on the run
>>291664733>when you are playing a randomized and you get a shedninja with sturdy
>>291665034The war and scene in the throne room takes place before Baku seeing Kyara in the forest.The war ends on the 23rdBaku sees Kyara on the 29th, it's a flash forward.

>>291665045>So is this after his talk with Kyara?No
>>291665094Another randomly well drawn page, look at those delicious water drops.
>>291665133A galaxy brain move that’s actually believable and cool
Almost every gamble is won by exploiting the vague rules placed by Kakerou. Anyone participating in a kakerou match should always double check them and set specific guidelines
>>291665168This manga was drawn HOW often?!
ENTER THE NIGHTMARE
>>291665224Every 6,82 Planet Mars rotations
>>291665246Baku...WON

>>291665437Did Souichi predict this would happen?
>>291665190Why would you double-check rules and miss out on potential cheating opportunities
>>291665390do both Baku and Lalo get purged if nobody is Kaiser on the 31st?
>>291665454Nobuko got off screened
>>291665263Nice pecsIs this achievable natty?
>>291665188Usogui's strategies are always so... Playful. Very fitting for an outsider fighting people backed by powerful organizations.

>>291665542Kaji gets a buff against women
>>291665326Neptune he made your entire nation into slaves and planted LSD and you still think Lalo is just a gamer
>>291664810>the only time i would be losing something is if i gave up on this matchgets me every time
>>291665510I'm pretty sure it's just status quo. Lalo keeps the stolen money and Baku stays broke so neither can challenge STL, which is what Leader wanted anyways
How is this fucking fair?Lalo wonLALO WON
>>291665454>one armed Kaji dominated NobukoWhat a god
>>291665604Lalo...
>>291665578Hes just a speedrunner
>>291665604Neptune...
>>291665521Im pretty sure she is still hospitalized after getting fucked up during the lad episode
>>291665569Sick pageI'm really starting to like Lalo now
>>291665569Lalo is LITERALLY the crying wojak with a happy mask
>>291665372Knife? Grasped.>>291665390Table? Flipped.
>>291665604He didint read the small prints for the Gamble
>>291665657I stumbled upon a Nanpou artist today and their art really made me have feelings for him a little. Good thing I've been cured this quickly.
>>291665657Imagine jobbing to a gun KWAB

>>291665510Baku won't get purged, only Lalo had to bet his life to play.>>291665590That said I'm not sure if Lalo gets purged if the match has no winner. Would have to reread those pages.
>>291665679Ideal started a war with Kakerou from the beginning
>>291664810Explain to me like I'm a retard, please. Does he not consider Kyara's death a loss to him?
>>291664733They were too weak to lose
>>291665684How do you stumble upon usogui artI literally find nothing of this series other than powerscaling
>>291665706Lalo bet his life, if he doesn’t win he’s dead. Even if there wasn’t a wager collection, Lalo would be hunted down because he’s trying to take over Kakerou
Enter this guy?
>>291665710He considers him a sacrifice that will only be worth it if he wins in the end, so he's resolved to win.
>>291664788He RAN
KEK
>>291664854Good chat
>>291665756I would enter but this guy is giving major jobber energy
>>291665756I don’t like how that arm hair is drawn
Looks like I got the "timing" WRONG :P

>>291665532The real Protoporos starts here btw.
>>291665725#usgi or just go through the rts of this person https://x.com/gaylord1607
>>291665569I kind of think Lalo is literally a demon in human form. Maybe.RIP Neptune aka Morita Masahiko.
>>291665883Nice entrance
>>291665835Midara the creepy witch
>>291665883old geezer suddenly handsome
>>291665910I like how every ref is visiting his corpse like a tourist destination
>>291665588Cute doll 'gui
>>291665910Sentimental geezer
>>291665835Cool midara expression
>>291665578Those are just high level meta strats
>>291665372Marco looks more twinky than usual
>>291665835I want him to use that nose like a credit card on me, but one that declines so he has to put it in after swiping.
>>291665952ENTER
>>291665657>>291665658This is kind of confusing but it was not Lalo who shot Nanpou here. If Lalo attacked a referee directly I assume they'd kill him.
The more attentive readers would have noticed this is the second time someone calling themselves "Bai Long" has showed up
>>291665407YOU WA SHOCK!Also everyone was so distracted by Amon's "pecs" that they didn't notice the missing vest. At least I didn't.
>>291666002He can fight???
>>291665978Oh right that dude Minowa killed in a flashback
>>291665454The bet? Rape.
>>291666025Yes, minowa fought him before
>>291665772Lol
>>291666049Minowa fucking killed him actually
>>291665470>>291665454>We never got to see this match.
>>291665790>dragonfly shirtWas that an enemy in the Prince Bee?
>>291665813He's so coolReminder his family are ninja.
>>291666035Gotta go find the old Warwick Davis /tv/ posts for Nowa abuse
You can tell this guy isn’t the real bai long because he’s too ugly and not given a big entrance page
OLD MAN STRONG!
>>291665569>>291665905What even happened to Neptune?
In the end... It's all about the "timing".
>>291665835Kek what a face

>>291665952I feel like his major jobber energy is intentional
>>291665790>Kiruma Family secret technique: Suicide!
>>291666098He is just like Ray from TPB
>>291666098FUARKK
>>291666126Rank was not an indicator of strength until Souchi basically made it a power level again, so referee number is a nebulous way to assess their capabilities
>>291666022FUCK
>>291665835He earned his nickname
HE'S BAI LONG, HE'S BAI LONG, YOU'RE BAI LONG...I AM BAI LONG! Are there any other Bai Longs i should know about?
>>291666049>>291666062I 'member
>>291666198ENTER the real one
>>291665883Are you still as bad at estimating value as before?
>>291666198IS ANYBODY ELSE BAI LONG AROUND HERE?
>>291666138Anons....... Don't tell me you thought there could be a referee who isn't strong..............Sometimes the obvious solution is the right one, you know.
>>291666198they're all "me" (i'm Bai long)
>>291665927...you said you were gonna estimate his value with bios you dumb geezer
>>291666198"me", of course.
>>291666198Bai Long has jokes
youtube.com/watch?v=R4xO9rgBSd4
>>291665883why does he use such an uncomfortable and hard wheelchair? he could use a pillow at least
>>291666002Is he just keeping those in his cheeks like a hamster?
>>291666198Will the real Bai Long please stand up?
>>291666022MY MISSING KING
>>291666250Well, he's not supposed to feel anything under the waist anyway, although we know that's a lie
>>291666098His illness is cured!
>>291666114Stabbing Nanpou with a needle to make the bluff more convincing is really clever
>>291666114Interesting that he wouldn't tell even leader that he can walk.
>>291666249LTG would unironically call someone yobbo IRL
>>291666198SameCHADS?
That's it for Volume 37!Thanks for reading and dont be a liar anon or one of the Bai Longs will come for you!See you tomorrow for the fist half of Volume 38!
>>291666198You've earned the right to face the REAL Bai Long
>>291666320Thank you for posting OP!
>>291666290Randou is back.>>291666304I am kind of surprised Minowa didn't eat his mother. Good lad.
>>291666249Jesus that hairline
>>291666312KEK true.
>>291666025>>291666049>>291666062yurphttps://desuarchive.org/a/thread/290489416/#290489651
>>291666114So him guessing the value of someone through yen is just a cheeky little game. 0!yen isn’t a symbol of being worthless. Kyara being 0 just means he’s priceless. He gave Kaji 10 yen upon seeing him, I wonder what he’d give him now and during the end of the series
>>291666320Those "extras" are so bad maneven worse when you compare to the Nana ones
>>291666320Thank you OP. Taka-san best group mom.
Oh, I'm late for my episode of Usobaki.
>>291666320Thanks OP. I love Taka.>next volume, the table is going to be flipped over!I kinda feel like Lalo already did that but let's see if he will flip harder.
>>291666114I bet most of the best referees and the leader know that he can at least move his legs a little, it's very hard to keep them completely dead all the timethey probably just respect him and stay quiet
>>291666344when was this?
>>291665168He knows Hokuto Shinken AND he's a master swordsman? This hack author really thought such a blatant Gary Stu would fly.
>>291666320Thank you.Poor Nanpou. He gets all the abuse and no love. Even his boyfriend gets fed to Kaji.
>>291666359Since he seems to be able to use his needles for nerve manipulation shit he might use them to deaden his legs
>>291666364Flashback during the labyrinth game to hype up Minowa
>>291666344This guy looks every similar to the real one
>>291666364During labyrinth prior to the Marco fight iircHe gets a yujiro flashback of Nowa glazing him
>>291666002>You've got it all wrong
>>291666198This BAI LONG is a different BAI LONG and now you are facing this BAI LONG! Over and out, BAI LONG!
>>291666161bottom right panel has a lotta aura
>>291666374Oh yeah, Kadokura and Nanpou have history together as gang rivals. I totally remembered that rivalry
Who would win?
>>291666344This feels like forever ago wow>>291666364Chapter 127 "Superhuman"
>>291666374>his boyfriendKadokura is Midara's boyfriend.
>Bai long means hundred dragons>there are 100 fake Bai Longs
>>291666414Sutedooma couldn't close out a door let alone a win.
When is Yakou B gonna show up again? I actually liked him
>>291666198The Bai Long know as "Alpharius"
>>291666414Guy on the left is literally Kuramagumi’s bitch boy now. Talk about downgrade, went from formidable gambler that almost beat Baku and a top man in Ideal to some yakuza subordinate
>>291666457Got laid off and replaced by a roomba.
>>291666320Thanks as always
>>291666408Nobody really does but a dedicated few. >>291666427 is usually the answer. I like Kado/Kaji more but that's because Midara deserves better than Kado (Me)I like all the referee connections. I think Sako did a good job balancing old and new in this arc to have some fun.>>291666499Roombas don't sweep, they suck!
>>291666449Waow
Marco>retard with split personality Billy >sleep demonKyara >simply the strongestMinowa >myostatin deficiency Jonglyo>kills people who kill his contractors and has super eye musclesTatsuki>father of Souichi and number zeroWhat’s Bai Long’s gimmick
>>291666067It probably wasn't a particularly good match. She was recovering from the LSD and the beating, and Hal was almost certainly next to her advising her to accept the match and throw it, both so his scheme would work and so that she can be safely removed from the island with a Kakerou escort before shit hits the fan. The "game" would've just been a formality, it could've just been a three second long RPS match for all it matters
>>291664994>Lalo enters a gamble>His opponent is clearly on the terminal stage>You are already...>Our antagonist is in BIG trouble>Lalo suddenly looks more unhinged>Ahem
>>291666499Lol>>291666489Suguma never had grand ambitions and was only in Ideal to find Robert K, he's kind of empty inside.
>>291666598>What’s Bai Long’s gimmickHe's always late
>>291666598Earwax
>>291666598Genjutsu
>>291666101See >>291665508, middle panel.
>>291665190The one who enters a fair fight should be prepared to lose the most
>>291666521>Roombas don't sweep, they suck!But before that they rub, which is basically sweeping.
>>291666002>>291666388"You" made "me" do "this".
>>291666312>>291666339Your life is as valuable as a street Monkey.I'm just gonna stump u you're gonna keep coming back why cause you keep smelling that udon, you worthless bitch ass Yobbo!You are gonna stay on my caracal until you die.You Yobbos serve no purpose in life.Your purpose in life is to be in my country sucking our american dicks daily, your purpose in life is to be a slave to ideal blowing my caracal daily
>>291666598>What’s Bai Long’s gimmickBeing the strongest, unironically. Eat your hearts out, Billyfags
>>291665326Uh oh your fone lingin
>>291666598Being loved by his family and having a normal upbringing. >>291666647Rubbing is pushing down and returning to a central spot, ready for sucking. Sweeping is broad long strokes that leave nothing behind afterwards in one fell swoop. There is a difference!
>>291665004Very Happy to see you all enjoying it
>>291665612Things would've been a lot easier if Baku had said "Marco, we need to save Yakou-san. Oh, but before we go, would you twist that dumbass over there into a pretzel for me please". It would've taken Marco like two seconds to turn Lalo into post-modern art.
>>291666649"I" hate "you", "me".
>>291666663>you're gonna keep coming back why cause you keep smelling that udonKek
>>291665510Baku likely wouldn't get purged since he wasn't Kekarou enemy number one when he entered the match I'd be willing to be if Lalo wasn't throwing 15 consecutive hail Mary's against Kakerou he'd be spared also
>>291666665>those digitsThe hundred dragons shot... Misfired.
None of you have actually caught on on the actual plot.
>>291666718Not even "likely", they specifically say Lalo has to bet his life but not so for Baku. The match is between Baku and Lalo after all.
>>291666697True.
>>291665532Arata is so edgy
>>291666741That FUCKING BASTARD Lu*han could easily be what people on this thread call... A Gambler.
>>291666607He never had the makings of a varsity gambler
>>291665710It's only a loss of he didn't vain something of equal or greater worth
>>291666663Maybe "my spork" instead of "my caracal"
>>291665978The fake bai long during labyrinth arc
>>291666878Yes
Daily reminder that none of this had to happen had Kaji not been a procrastinating retard after Tower of Karma.
>>291665910For anyone who cant read the room, i think he is saying kyara is priceless
>>291666098--ACCKKKK!!!
>>291666974Not really, he says a few pages later that his value assessment has nothing to do with the actual worth of a person, so he's just being tsundere
>>291666974Oh yeah I didn't get that. That's good thanks anon.
>>291667018I wonder how he'd assess Yakou lol.
>>291664854There it is, my favorite page of Protopos.
>>291666665>spoilerConsidering he goes roughly even with one-handed Yakou I'm pretty sure Kyara could take him
>>291664919Amusement, but also indiscribable anger
>>291665280BK looks so sickly, really shows how great of a poker face he has.
>>291665004it's a very solid candidate, not even glazing. i'm very surprised at how good it is.
>>291665280>>291665304These two pages, they explain Bakus whole deal. He has a million plans stacked which he can fall on when he needs to, but he also has to spend so much money and time just to setup things that might never matter.
>>291666489hes getting peed on by ranko while youre hating
>>291664810>>291664829>>291664854How the fuck did this manga go from a 9/10 to an 11/10 by including a fucking isekai arc...
>>291665532>>291665569
>>291665864NANPOOOOOOOU! NOOOOOOOO!
>>291665280>>291665304These 2 pages completely changed my way of looking at Usogui (the character and the manga itself).
>>291665546Pretty sure that story is about Dai Vernon, one of the greatest card magicians that ever lived.He invented the "Triumph" among other great tricks, fooled Harry Houdini and was known as the "Professor" for his vast knowledge of magic and because he ended up tutoring several students that would all end up becoming great magicians in their own right.I've recently watched a documentation about him that's why it's still fresh in my memory, he used the trick described in the manga to win money from his friends when he was still young.Also he learned most of his earlier tricks from card cheats and gamblers.
>>291667391It was already kinda explained in the oyster flashback.
>>291666249Oh wait, is Nowa supposed to be Marcos referee?
>>291666320TAKA THE CONSIDERATE!Thanke OP, the real Protopos starts now.
>>291665532Objective: SurviveGotta love that it's still fitting for the game setting.
>>291666697>>291666773Sako can't have Marco actually doing SOMETHING in this arc, and some anons think that's okay because he "completed his character arc" yadda yadda. It's just baffling.
>>291667790Yeah, kind of. But here it's also including that Baku has to pay a price for all that work.like say... something which is revealed in the final chapter.
>>291666697He promised Marco he wouldn't make him kill anyone
>>291667983So just disarm him, break all his limbs and choke him out. The Batman play.
>>291665657Nanpou can’t catch a breathe
>>291666697>>291668074Marco can not do that while protecting two helpless bodies, Yakou A-tier coffee and Baku the escaping king
Marco, twist his nuts counterclockwise
Marco, call him a rude word.
>>291666098Lost Island mini arc foreshadowed this btw.
>>291666974Excuse me for being Oshii, because I can't read the room!
>>291667552>>291665004>>291664854what has the author gone thru in real life to be able to make such an interesting manga?
>>291664854It's funny to think Kyara shared the same fate as Canadianman (still in Ring E by the way)
>>291669610One must experience... the unreasonable reality of society
>>291669610He was a repo man and a hair dresser he has seen the hidden underground of Japan.
>>291669740>its quite late at my age>I was 27
>>291666250Chairs in stories are a often a metaphoric representation, sometimes of their personality, or present state. The chair represents the toughness of the organisation and willing to sit through uncomfort even if it means completing their job.
>>291665263I FUCKING KNEW IT! IT'S A GIRL WEARING FAKE MUSTACHE!
>>291666074Remember that all fights are gambles
>>291665857Funny, this shitty line is actually aplicable here lol
>>291665454RAPED!
>>291665772Just fucking push him down.
>>291665883The old raisin looks a lot younger here.
>>291665952THE WHITE DRAGON!
>>291666098What a fucking liar.
>>291666198Me, I'm Bai Long with another different kanji.
>>291666598The Bai in Bai Long means white, it's a white guy pretending to be a chink who learned martial arts.
I've come to this storytime so late, how do I read everything in the archive without having to open every image in a new tab? That will make catching up take 5 times as long and I want to be here for the end.
>>291669614Who is Canadianman?
>>291671239Never had to do that myself, but doesn't look like desuarchive supports opening the images in any other way.Maybe there is an extension for that?
>>291665508>Baku talked about how he operates through setting up multiple plans ahead of time>scared shitless that his opponent does the same
>>291665484Our JUSTICE is in BIG TROUBLE!
Feels like the writer lost interest in the premise and we're speedrunning all the twists he planned out for the arc
>>291671239Use Desu X or SpookyX, they're basically 4chanx for desuarchive.
>>291666697Can't The game is not over yet, until 31st Dec
>>291671986Yeah but Baku goes through plan B after some painful consideration, seething, and tragedy. Usogui is intimidated for once because Lalo doesn't just go "FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK REEEE Plan B" but instead goes "Oh well, Plan B lol" but his plan B is immediately to kill people
>>291672173I would have liked to see more of what Lalo was up to as he was leveling upAlso the Kaiji Nobuko gamble
>>291666320Thanks for the dump Bai Long
>>291670227Well yes, most manga artists don't start that late.
>>291670247It's discomfort not uncomfort
>>291665168>23TH
>>291672284I always get rate limited when I use those
>>291673574Two chinese dudes, please understand
>>291665508>He's different from all the opponents I've had faced until nowSutegumabros..I thought we are special
>>291665304truly the best fucking gambling manga of all time. it's kino every chapter
>>291672646More like he just goes "plans b to K" all at once with little consideration.
>>291674278Nah, we good. Nobody expected Sako to write "oh, the LEADER OF IDEAL foreshadowed since Hangman Arc is less of a challenge than Suteguma...!"He also called Suteguma THE STRONGEST he faced up to that point, but that's also going to obviously change when he faces Souichi. We Sutegumachads had a nice meal regardless.
>>291674278Suteguma is hard to read, but he still sticks to a single plan for the most part. Lalo practically wears his emotions on his sleeves, but he plans and improvises on such a scale that it took both Baku and Hal to outpace him.
>>291664854holy fuckthis is a bi weekly manga, right? how is the art so consistently GOOD
>>291665168>lalo actually won>became the kaiser>which was a trap to have the reset happen before the end of the gamble>usogui already has allies ready to vote him in as the new kaiser after the resetholy fuck turning a losing position into a winning one is kinobut it being done in such a cohesive believable way is EXTREMELY KINOnot to mention there was the backup plan with Hal in case it didn't work outit's insane how well thought out this is
>>291665508>>291665569while I did like Lalo, this seriously upped him in my personal rankingshe's rampaging because its the only way to win and not because he's sperging out over losingalso i love how this ties back into the initial premise of the manga being "sure, you can win but without the means(violence) to claim the winnings it doesn't matter" does this mean what he's doing is not against the rules, because its third-party intruders doing this (on his orders), and the referees can't just purge Lalo?
>>291675308Yeah that's why they can just watch him and can only purge him once it's confirmed he can't be the Kaiser on the date, so when that day is over.
>>291675126>this is a bi weekly manga, right?WeeklyMangaBTW
>>291675308Lalo’s life is part of the stake and he’s one of the official participants so yeah, the refs can’t directly interfere with him
>>291665168>>291675250heh, looks like he got the "timing" right
>>291675126>bi weekly mangaIt's a gay, weekly manga actually
>>291671239If you're reading on your phone KurobaEx supports desuarchive I believeOtherwise you're better off reading the volume on your own and then skimming through the replies tbqh
>>291675250Yes it's an amazing twist.
>>291674903Funnily enough, Ranko made a similar read about Suteguma being "nothing", like Baku on Lalo. The main differences is that Lalo preps his own contigencies beforehand, and that Suteguma still has the survival mindset that betrays him in the end. Put in the same spot, the current Lalo would have called 9 without hesistation because it has a good vibe while the one at the end of Air Poker would have called 10
>>291677213Omake spoiler I guess that's the MMA gym of Sako's coach Hideo Tokoro.
>>291676329Yeah interacting with Usogui is a brain poison, he gets in your head and you start to fuck up because you can't win at mind games with him.
>>291677424If anything the best thing to give yourself the best odds against him is to make sure the gamble is as legitimately fair as possible with no room for cheating. Just like how he said champ was so easy to deal with, it was because he gave in to his greed and tried all in with everyone. If he had stuck to his guns there would have been a chance for Baku to lose. People overlook kajis poker game with Baku and I think if he didn't trust kaji as his no2 he wouldn't had a showdown with him with his end goal as wager.
I wonder if at the end of this week can do a watch along with the live action movie. I wasn't even aware it was even a thing. From the pictures I see the stl scene on the helipad looks gorgeous
>>291677417looks like it
>>291677843Peak jomon
>>291675308There aren't any rules that state he can't go on a rampage or call for help. Enforcing the integrity of the ban is up to the refs and has nothing to do with Lalo. It's kinda similar to the KY show where Kakerou both had to protect the alibi and ensure that the gamble could go on uninterrupted at the same time, no?
OP here.Yeah you already know it whenever I OP write before the storytime begins it means something happened.A OP who’s free of family obligations doesn’t exist…Storytime for today isint cancelled from my side but only late.Maybe 2-3 hours dont know.If someone wants to dump it earlier you‘re welcome to do it and if not i dump it once i‘m finished later!
Someone should take over the dump
>>291677836Why is it always the fucking hangman
>>291679142It was the arc that basically set the stage for the rest of the manga. It introduces all the major players and lays the seeds of every future conflict.
>>291678757I can take over the struggle
>>291665133>>291665148Usogui planned it from day fucking one and Hal figured it too. Usogui is easily the smartest character in fiction
>>291679198Vielen Dank!
>>291675308The rules are anything goes but players will have their means of communications stripped from them though, so Lalo hasn't broken any rules. Adding extra men is a Ban violation though so Ideal must be purged
>>291679482The only reason lalo isn't getting purged is because they did not catch him in the act of communicating to the outside right? It was just "pure happenstance" his men found him
>>291679227He might have had the time card but at the point of choosing the time limit he had no idea about the location and rules.
>>291679569noor else Kaiji, or Baku would get purged during Abandons House
>>291679142It has best ref in it
>>291665710This is Usogui's take on Griffith's dream in Berserk. Both involve a colossal sunk cost fallacy.
>>291664936>>291664956...now I think I get what's Lalo's problem :^)
>>291664994... and that's why Baku's target was always Hal's Kingdom instead of Lalo's! I'm really glad I figured 1 gamble on my own before the end fo the series haha
>>291665710He now is duty bound to win.As the other anon explains, i suppose a more noble version of Griffith, as Baku didn't wish for this outcome. But for Kyara's death to mean something, he HAS to win, he can't give up.
>>291664879>Depending on how you struggle, the future might change a little bitNothing is set in stone, you can win Baku!>At the end of your struggle, perhaps a cueler conclusion awaits.Perhaps not>Now Struggle!Fight!
>>291665133>I actually got it....kindaI fully expected this to become relevant. I wasn't quite sure how it would play into the story or that Baku would weaponize it against lalo, but i was 100% sure this would be used.
>>291679142Look at all the things established and set up >leader’s first appearance>Baku and Leader first meeting for the readers>Leader sets the referee number zero prerequisite for StL>ranking battles >Kyara is introduced>Kuramagumi is introduced >Ideal’s boss speaks with Leader and sets up the rivalry >Leader’s memory loss is foreshadowed >Leader’s secret identity is shown as Hachina>Gakt’s first appearance >sets up the Kakerou vs police feud with them trying to form the ACIA
>>291682347>>291682565Good job anons. I did not predict that on my first read.
>>291665326>>291665341Textbook Lalo, always outside of the box and the rules: any other gambler in the series would have asked something related to Baku and his strategy. Lalo instead IMMEDIATELY thinks of foul play and the other two cheating. ...and he's absolutely right. Baku keeping the lie up instead of self glazing tells a lot of how he still perceives Lalo as dangerous.
>>291665407Ikon is literally achieving super mode
>>291679142Hangman is the first high stakes real gamble resembling a real game
>>291679569There are no rules against cheating in this game in the first place
>>291669404When?
>>291666521That Ikon Conquest is so perfect, man.
>>291666349Think of it as L's percentages whenever he talks about Kira in Death Note: the actual numbers are made up and mean absolutely nothing. What matters is that he's evaluating you.
>>291683452When he stood, the island healed him. Everyone probably thought it only lasted while he was on the island but it seems the effects were permanent.
>>291682660Well I don't think Baku is lying, he is saying that Hal was trying to take down Tipa for real and then have Lalo defeat him, still opening the way for Baku to become Kaiser after the re-allocation.Hal was seriously trying to take down Baku's kingdom, for Baku's benefit. Because in this gamble, Hal is Baku's ally, and gambling... is the ultimate promise.
>>291669404>>291683782That's a hilarious idea but I don't think the omake is canon. Nowa probably just pretended to be crippled for many, many years because... uh... it would be a very impressive ruse? idk
>>291684019There are tactical advantages to it for someone spends a lot of time in life or death situations
>>291669740>Drawing at midnightHas he ever addressed his drawing technique? Because yeah, early usogui does feel a bit amateurish, but the glow up he pulled was insane. Was it this result of being a weekly artist and having to practice that much? It is surreal this fucking manga is Sako's first published work. I wonder how many manuscripts he sent before usogui.
Our soap opera is on again>>291684651
>>291684693thank you
I miss Suteguma
>>291686347WE miss Suteguma
