Despite fate's best efforts to delay this site's functionality till after OP goes to sleep, tonight's dump shall not be stopped!

ily Karl
Is knocking down 4chan to delay a storytime something a referee would allow?
>>291759260Probably
>>291759018Lalo could not flip the internet for more than a day and still he failed to prevent thr dump.
>>291759018The volume covers have gotten so goodI'd actually like to own this one physically
>>291759260If the referee didn't explicitly forbid such a possibility, I don't see why not.
>>291759382>>291759411They are releasing their stands...
They're like zebras, I can't tell where one ends and the other begins
>>291759292By whom? Our HERO America again?
Reminder the guy Baku faced in his first kakerou gamble had made his fortune by selling an island to the military it's never brought up again though
>>291759482That's a shit ton of prisons.>>291759518Kaji...
>>291759518KEKji....
>>291752531>Lalo hates anyone who can appreciate the value of diamonds>Pic relatedD-does it mean Baku can be Lalo's friend now?
>>291759745This... IS NOW AN ULTRA GAMEsorry
Uhh isn't it a bit meaningless to make it a death-gamble? I mean, it's literally just to disadvantage Baku as he wouldn't die if he lost but Lalo would.
>>291759796I mean yeah basically, Lalo has forced a situation where Baku has to put his life on the line to win. And Baku doesn't have to play as was pointed out earlier, he could lose this and just try to get the assets for surpassing the leader later. But he won't.
>>291759205So they repurposed a drowning toture cell into a poker table? Lel
>>291759796What the fuck are you talking about?
>>291759448These guys fucking hate each other
>>291759847Drowning?Strong?
>>291759796Yeah Baku has the choice to refuse >>291752375, he's in because he wants to kill Lalo
This shit is making me queasy...
>>291759411>youre a big liar>for you,
>>291759934SSPPLUUURTTT
>>291759448>>291759892Yeah, all pretense of civilness between those two disappeared a long time ago
>>291759153Did the refs make these custom air tanks overnight?
>>291760013>>291759969Wtf they both just drowned?Referees rigged this...
They're going to play with their clothes on? Won't they get wet? It's not like they have a spare set lying around.
>>291759551remind me, which chapter?
>>291759796if i remember right, if baku doesnt take this bet he's not going to meet the requisites to become kaiser because lalo is in possession of the level 80 vest. meaning even though lalo will die when the limit is up, baku wont be able to go immediately onto surpassing the leader making the entire match meaningless to him. it would mean he lost kyara for nothing and i dont think there's a world he'd accept that. he also wants to be the one to put lalo in the ground, so there's that too.
>>291760049I think that's the least of their worries
>>291759018oh shit
>>291760049You're not getting them both naked in the pod anon
>>291760054It's when Yakou fights Tatsumi, he reminisces about Usogui's first gamble then. Chapter 270 or so.
>>291759518He doesn't get to bring friends
>>291760078Sure, I know WHY he wants to gamble, but I'm questioning the choice of the referees to make the gamble a death-gamble as the only reason for that is to introduce the 'risk' of killing Baku.
>>291759411>>291759411>>291759411>>291759411
>>291759252>island is the heart of a drug trafficking operation>and also of organ trafficking and sex slave ring>on top of that, it was also Guantanamo bay-like facilityDid Midara know all of this and still decided to go play Protoporos every summer or something?
>>291759637can it really fit inside that
>>291760142Because it's neat and they have a whole ass torture facility to run one.
>>291760054268
>>291760174I assure you, there are much worse larps all around the globe, the man just wanted to game.
>>291760202Wacky ass referees, no sense of right and wrong.
>>291760224>You will never have a special edition metal card set
>>291759518That's some very feminine hand you have right there, Baku
>>291760174He is that gloomy
>>291760235"Players exist to be sacrificed so I can run an interesting game" - Referees
>>291760186In scuba tanks air is compressed at about 200 bars, so 80 liters of air would compress to around 0.4 liters and could be compressed even more
>>291759847>>291759796You aren't taking into account this is a three parties battle: of course it's a death match, it benefits Kakerou. If Lalo wins they can skip Surpassing the Leader.But you can also see it this way: this is a deathmatch between (Lalo) vs (Ryuusei & Minoru), only Baki is playing for thee second team, and putting his life on the line was the entry ticket to rescue them.
>>291759292Just realized the fact those two judges are up there seemingly alone spoils the other party involved in this gamble. I should've noticed that way earlier.
>>291759796Baku is suffering heavily from gambler's fallacy right now. Not fighting Lalo to the death here and letting Kakerou purge him only for Baku to find other means to do StL in the future would mean everything he sacrificed so far would've been in vain
>>291760335If Lalo wins he still gets to play STL (assuming he becomes Kaiser)
>>291760371No...two cards.
>>291760174Wait til you hear what they did at that Epstein guy's island.And the other group with Eyes Wide Shut shit that I forgot how they call.
>>291760335Oh, and last volume we saw the impact of Kyara's loss, and Lalo with his fancy "what you lost, what you gained" speech definitely pissed Baku off.
>>291760142Either Lalo is betting his life (he dies eitherway so he has no reason to not do so, a low risk high reward) forcing Baku to do the same. Or it's just Kakerou pleasing the Man Owners, they are no strangers to arranging death games, as seen with Hanged Man and Tower of Karma beads.
>>291760454Pretty much any time the refs get to set up the game there's a death condition. Labyrinth is sorta an exception, but Kadokura very much factored in Minowa and Marco's capabiilities for that.
reminder that reporting for spoilers is a thing and should be done.
>>291760371almost like its... one poker...
>>291760501Plot twist: spoilerfag is a jeet himself. Thats why he shits the thread whenever he posts
>>291760574WAIT A MINUTETHAT CARD
>>291760574>>291760646THIS CARD>THIS CARD
Remember to delete your reply too, btw.Otherwise it can still open if someone hovers over the deleted link.
>>291760372He can't. By Protoporos' rules, the Kaiser steps down and can't get a second voting.The only way he can change Protoporos' rules is by changing the server rules, and for that he needs the password of someone who hates him on an ideological level (Daiba) and the password of... a dead man.If Lalo knew a certain thing, maybe after Air Poker he could negotiate some terms for Protoporos, but he doesn't. My bet is that he plans to bully Daiba the moment he wins the match, but at this point he lost 90% of his manpower. Not saying it's impossible, but he'd need to speedrun the fuck of whatever his plan is.
Sako's boxing manga is pretty amazing btw
>>291760721The numbers... what do they mean...
>>291760745Yeah it really is.
>>291760704Fukurou has Arata's password iirc
>>291760721If only he had Marco there to help him...
>>291760745Yep
I'm actually reading this arc for the first time, and my guess is that the number is multiplied by how many chips you bet
>>291760704>>291760767Yeah Fukurou has it, Lalo could also bully Daiba into making a new account for him that's already level 80 or just changing the rules with the two passwords.
>>291760745I cant enjoy Batuque and the boxing manga (always forget the name kek) because it has no mindgames like Usogui's.
>referee straight up doesn't tell you how the game works
>>291760930Nowa's son in law is a goofy fuck like that.
>>291760861>Oh yeah, these numbers are worthless>What's their actual worth? Fuck you, i ain't telling you thatGee, thanks Shion
>>291760049would baku and lalo get naked in front of hundreds of people for a gamble?
>>291760921Genikasuri (or Puppetmasters) has some, but so far it's mainly just an excuse for Sako to show all the cool boxers he has come up with. Still pretty cool, but definetly more Batuque esc.
>>291760049Dunno about you, but if I'm playing a death match the tie stays fucking ON.
>>291760993They would show their asshole if it meant winning
>>291760058look at baku farming aura even while dead thats my goat
>>291761032Have you ever experienced a cold water enema? That's what happens when you drown.
>>291759153The best game of all the mangaYeah, even better than STL
>>291761084you can see Baku holding the air indicator here
>>291761044Yakou is ride or dieBased kind grandpa that brews delicious coffee
>>291752376It's Sako's most planned gamble, he already envisioned it at the beginning of the serialization. It probably should have been the final match. There are many spreads that you read that feels like the culmination of Baku as a whole. We have Kaji helping him, Baku's dream moment in the 2nd round, and Baku's final "wedge of Usogui" planted in Lalo's mind.
>>291760174Why not, thi slooks like a normal vacation in the Philippines
>>291761084Say, gentlemen, what are we listening to to set the mood for this fine session of poker?
>>291761115Time for the ULTIMATE WEEKLY FUCKING MANGA arc. Seriously the amount of underwater panels Sako had to envision and draw this arc is insane. Especially since they're some of the best pages in the whole series.
>>291761146I for one am glad it wasn't the final, I understand why some can't appreciate STL fully but to me that game is such a satisfying ending I would not trade it for anything.
>>291760174protoporos unironically seems chill if you can avoid slaverythe players participate willingly in a lot of the crazier stuff too apparently
>>291761177https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_dJDFGvkc1Y
>>291761206I mean there's outlaws on the roads, reminder that Nobuko would have gotten killed/raped if Hal didn't rescue her
>>291761218>literally 0 rounds into the match>Lalo is already sharking for holes and advantagesSheesh, he is not fucking around
>>291761218Damn Lalo does not fuck around.
>>291761218>[crack]
Is it even possible to understand the game before it’s revealed?I did play poker a few times but im not a expert.I wonder if a pro player would’ve get how it‘s played before it‘s revealed
>>291761241OXYGEN BAKU! GET MORE OXYGEN INTO YOUR MUSCLES!
>>291761241>Those eyesKino sequenceAwesome mood setterSuteguma ain't shit against Lalo
>>291761275A super expert would probably figure it out from the numbers
>>291761218Damn this ambience kind of fucks
>>291761307>Lalo isn't even using a Bios yet to breatheWhat a fucking troll
>>291760184sounds like it'd be kinda hard fighting back against the water making you float out of the chairmeaning you also gotta deal with your legs getting tired eventually even if you dont start drowning
>>291761336>Shion also assigns arbitrary number values to people like his father in law
>>291761369>assistant-kun today we shall draw another 18 pages of Lalos hair floating. Aren't you excited?
I would be really good at air poker it seems
>>291761396WHATIT DOES WHAT!?
>>291761177https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3P26BSn_6kU
>>291761402At least he's more honest about it
>>291761336>I'll just keep dropping vague hints instead of actually explaining the rulesGod fuck vague posters
>>291761583FUAARK
>>291761583Do i even have to say it?
>>291761583Goombling is like a fire...
CALLRAISE
>>291761583HE'S GOOOOOMBLING!
>>291761583Usogui is a gambler!
>>291761583I'M GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMBLING
>>291761583..W.....Kl...yy..??>>291761599OKAY WHO THE FUCK GAVE SAKO A TIME MACHINE HOW DOESHE DOIT!?
>>291761599>He actually said itLalo is getting too excited.
>>291761583here we gooo
>>291761599>call>raiseHe is actually yelling it to Baku, what a mad lad.
>>291761599And another one
Okay I have to admit Lalo is fucking cool.
>>291761599It's almost like Lalos hair took the breathing device from Bakus mouth... SAKOOOOOO
I'm now convinced he only gave Lalo long hair so he could draw it floating underwater.
>>291761684I remember some anons saying he's underwhelming when he was first introduced and I don't get where they were coming from
>>291761599FUAARK2
Wtf is the art, sako nigga surpassed Kaioken, he is full on SJ1
>>291761717Baku...
>>291761717bakubros...
>>291761756The price for not having good stamina...
>>291761756there's something almost erotic about this game
>>291761717Lalo is great from the moment he is seen, but his shadow nigga moments are a little underwhelming.
>>291761798are you into erotic asphyxiation?
>>291761882BAKU NO YOUR PRECIOUS OXYGENATED BLOOD
>>291761882*Blub*....*bgieb bliarb*...
>>291761882Is Air Poker really going to be Sako Flexing his art skills non stop until we get to the Climax volumes?
>>291761854>If I was him, I'd fold.????????? Douji, did you not listen to >>291761554?
>>291761882Sako must have had a hard-on drawing all of these pages, imagine planning this game for years and getting to do it perfectly.
>>291761882moe nosebleed
>>291762004AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
Ok yeah I have no idea how this shit works
>>291762031Our hero...LOST
>>291762062He's so fucking smug.
>>291762004>Referee Shion, did you know that sperm whales can hold their breath up to 90 minutes underwater?
>>291762031KarlDumpmont... is not a gambler.Can we leave it at 5 chapters today? I want OP to enjoy this as much as possible.
my guess is that the cards are only for choosing the first bet, they are meaningless to the round resultwhat truly matters is consumed air in that roundthe one that consumes the least air wins
>>291762031I know it's still early and means nothing, but smallest number win?That would be my first attempt and i would try to go with the lowest number possible
>>291761218Saku really abuses manga's ability to hide things in plain sight, I don't think books and movies can do that CRACK panel without feeling bullshit
>>291762095The sixth chapter has a much better cliffhanger so...no.
>>291762104Ryuusei and Champ the DOOMERS
>>291762111That would be way too simple
>>291762121he even does a panel showing the cracked glass floating up in the page after the next
>>291762163>Kadokura returned from checking the hostages and let Baku out of his rape cell
>>291762161I know, but it would be the first thing to try.Again, first round, there's almost nothing to go by.Although that anon that mentioned the bios that you breath also being considered was something i hadn't thought of.
>>291762210>bakulol, meant Kaji obviously
>>291761396Marco? Would defeat Lalo here
I give it 10 AP (Anon Points)
>>291761177https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VzR43lDx170
>>291762254>Manabe actually keeping count of the SP
>>291761599Lalo isn't actually a gambler, right?Does this means he's getting the waku waku here for the first time?
>>291762339impartial btw
>>291762254Never realized Eggman laying out the hands
>>291762364>closer to 9 winsWhy is Cirno in there?Also love the Referees acting like children
>>291762364>"Ah yeah, i'm almost done getting it" >Doesn't get it at allAlso lmao at the prisoners trying to guess the law
>>291761218>Lalo immediately tries to crack the rules to gain an advantage>Baku immediately starts to think about law/cards/enemy and how to exploit themI love how Sako shows Baku's priorities: 1st the Law - Baku won't follow ref Shion advice here >>291760861 , he wants the complete picture2 then the cards, of course3 the enemy is kept separate from the gamble and its rules. Makes sense, through all the series Baku always targets the player rather than just the game.
>>291762391Sako REALLY loves just leaving the solution out in the open where you don't even realize it, huh?
>>291762254these two have good interactions
enough with the black boxes
>>291762449Yeah, they're a very enjoyable odd couple
>>291761938Considering how wonky the art gets in the very last chapters you can tell he basically fucking burns himself out in these last two games.
>>291762355It's just bluffing imo. Lalo is signalling to get Baku to commit as much as they could without getting to the safe zone, which is simply logical for both sides. He's not a gambler in the sense that his risk/reward is very objective-based
>>291762004The fuck is the second panel?
>>291762511>you should be able to solve this
>>291761396The Kengan Experience
>>291762566:D
>>291762530We'll see it when we get there, but I hold some hope that it's just him already planning to do batuque and changing his style for it.
>>291762364>It's stocks!How the fuck does that make any sense?
>>291762254So the referees decide what the numbers mean with an actual poker deck in the top room?
>>291759796You see it all tied back to Kyara
>>291762627The cards are valuation multiples of famous stocks in the SP500, the highest price wins!!
>>291762563He says "please forgive me" and then presses a button...very cryptic...
Do you believe in Kaji?
And that's all for today! Now I'm gonna go sleep because it's past 3am and I'm mildly regretting setting a 1 minute cooldown for the posts instead of the 30 second one.
>>291762693CLEVER CREEP
>>291759847 such a meticulous definition is a teaser
>>291762693/ourrapist/
>>291762693GODji figured it out...but can anyone else?
>>291762693Kinoest page
>>291762693Kaji forgot Baku isn't a telepath
>>291762720Thank you based Dumpmont for slowing down for us.........have a napful sleep you p2w dumper...
>>291761448Now that I reread this volume, I'm impressed at how well structured this whole gamble is. It's literally an act in 5 parts.
>>291762693Kaji making another assumption as always. He himself said he's missing something but still goes ahead and gives Baku his half answer.
>>291762693WITH MY LIFE.
>>291762533what an imposing mane
>>291762766Np it definitely wasn't because my pass was banned for the first 30 minutes of this dump so I had to dump without it and then decided to stick to the pace afterwards
>>291761146I don't think so. A "final boss" fight followed by a rival's duel is great. The end of StL is also necessary to truly complete Baku's character study
>>291761241spoiler that shit narrator
>>291762693Hell yeah I would
>>291762720Thank you for entertaining me personally as I suffer my night shift.Very sad that OP missed all of these pages tho.
>>291762364>it's ref powerscalingA version where they call out the chosen refs to have a ranking duel to determine the result would sorta work, even more entertainment for spectators.
>>291762912He'll read them when he wakes up if he hasn't already
>>291762364douji is so endearingly stupid
>>291760782>Marco thinks 45 is the right answer. Can Marco choose that one?
>>291759018Someone should post the Sawano song as a thread theme for next time
>>291763073He even thinks in moderation.
>>291760184 Even in here, Lalo is thinking about the rules and how to flip the table bolted to the ground btw
>>291760224>The devs had these specially mode within a few hoursWhich overworked madman is making these game pieces? Ikon? Is that why he hates gamers?
>>291760235>>291760289 Ironically, we'll get to see an expansion of this train of thought after this arc. Refs really are just that bloodthirsty
>>291760813>>291761044>The cards mean... something, maybe.>If you do... something, then... something will happen. It'll probably be bad.I love the idea that these guys are gambling their lives on a game without even knowing what game they're playing. It could be RPS-25. It could be an esoteric variant of backgammon. It might be Protoporos related. The cards might represent US Presidents and you're gambling on which of the selected cards was recorded as having the largest penis in their medical on entering office. You don't know, just pick a number, faggot. Play by vibes and ride or die with your choice.
>>291761583THE FIRE RISES
>>291762627>>291762670Each number represents a stock ticker converted to the sum of it's digitsexample:AT&T : T : 20Berkshire Hathaway : BRK : (2+18+11) : 31And the company with the higher market cap wins. In that case 31 wins as BRK is 1.6 trillion vs 150 billion.But if you bet a number which has multiple configurations of companies you can add their market capsThis originates from when Lalo was introduced and he was short selling stocks during the abandoned mine
>>291762163First instance of Kaji figuring the game out before the observing referees and them listening with interest to how far he's got
>>291762693Even after all this time, /ourboy/ is still in Madarame's crazy wild ride
>>291762373The players were given the chance to decide who draws first. Baku could easily have insisted and gotten the 8, which is the key to figuring it out. That's about as impartial as you could be.
>>291761946When was the pinky reattached? Is it a mistake?
>>291763804You can see from panel 2 that he's touching the Bios with his index finger. The fingers visible in panel 1 are index, middle and ring.
>>291762720Thanks, KarlanonFucking hell, so far it hasn't disappointed in the slightest.
>>291762121>>291762162Not only that, we already have a way to suspect something about the Panopticon tower. If you check the page where Shion give 1 SP to Lalo, you can see the ceiling of their room is conical, meaning they are on the top floor of the panopticon tower. In the previous page Sako fucks up the perspective to distract you from the fact that the tower has two floors beside the water room. Plus these two particular refs, as other anons pointed out.
>>291761218Manlets already at a disadvantage
>>291759690Did he say "bubbling" or did he make the sound effect? What do you guys think?
i am convinced these steel cards from the 4th John Wick movie were inspired by this gamble
>>291763268Anon... referee Ikon... he... he wasn't available...
>>291762693Our Fucking Rapist
>>291761268>That GlassFucking hell its might as well just showing blantant that shit
>>291760350holy shit
>>291760371This isn't Poker, this is War. Or whatever it's called in other places.
>>291760861I thought I'm just a retard who can't follow the dialogue, this faggot referee doesn't even explain the rules.
>>291761044Totally fair and unbiased referee, by the way.
>>291765895>>291765940You should be able to figure out the rules.
>>291762693FUCKIN KINO
>>291761424
>>291761583>>291761599Hoo boy.
>>291762062>Kaji isn't sweatingIt's nice to see the difference between him and the noobs.
>>291762693I'd put my life on this man's hand.
>>291760263I wonder how the game would've gone if Baku had picked first instead of letting Lalo pic first here. Probably the same but flipped but without the morse code gambit.
>>291762720Thanks OP.
>>291761679MASQUERADE VIOLATION
>>291762391It makes the comments to >>291760371 really funny how we're lead to ask "how is this poker?"
>>291767123Can vamps even enter water?
>>291760921Geni actually has a lot of cool mindgames but yeah they all feel (mostly) secondary to the fights. The leadup to the fights are the actual big brain mindgames though if you aren't a boxing or tournament-fag you aren't going to get the full value of Harima's autistic rules-skating to drum up hype and force rival gyms to take him seriously
>>291760930And somehow it makes for possibly the best game in the manga Since this is a lot less about the rules than about the mental aspect
>>291760999>he straight up mentions the calamity
>>291761177Thread theme should be Bios by Sawano
>>291762481
>>291761275 In theory the numbers and the sum alone should give you the idea of what game they're playing, along with the fact that the game is POKER
>>291765895The rule is>Lol lmao figure that yourself
>>291767815But you can't read Opponent's Card NumberOf course the "poker" give it awaysHow would Air Mahjong Work?
>>291767487Yes, there's even a whole breed of them in VtM
>>291761684>>291761717Anons who say Lalo is underwhelming didn't reserve judgement when they saw he was a goofy frenchman when they could have waited for him being the most deranged table flipper manga has ever known. Also, he's kind of just some dude pre-Protoporos, and even then we only get to see Lalo at his best starting from starcharts and on
>>291767904The players can't but the anon that is "me" has access to all the numbers
>>291759918Baku also has his reasons to challenge Surpassing the Leader, I'd imagine he thinks passing on this challenge would be detrimental to his goal.
>>291762693Kaji..I don't think it's about the rape victims ages
>>291768007He's more sparingly used early on but his schemes are still similarly multi-part, like shorting stocks off Sadakuni's coup or stealing Baku's money.
Tch... What a shitty PHP... I missed the dump and the "timing" by a razor thin margin...
I think Balatro helped me get it, if I'm not mistakenIt's also my third time reading it, but Iforgot about it
I REREAD TODAY'S DUMP SLOWLY AND FIGURED OUT WHAT THE NUMBERS MEAN!They are playing Air POKER! Takumi is blatantly showing the players' hands in a panel. The numbers on the metal cards are the total sum of the poker hand, 1 for ace to 13 for king. Lalo won with a 5-high straight flush VS Baku's quads 8 + 4. Kaji is showing 5 fingers, the amount of cards needed for a poker hand.Played around with a calculator. I think I'm still missing something, since there are numbers with multiple possibilities and how to decide the straights' suit. Probably Nowa Jr. and his motherfucking whim. Since Kaji is sure Baku is going to win in the second round, I'm guessing Baku's 39 is quads 9 + 3 while Lalo's 8 is triple 2 + ace pair.
>>291759592>Frog emerging from the sewers
>>291760688Is Baku noticing that the thickness matches the thickness of 5 normal poker cards?
>>291760745It's good so far, i like it more than batuque as a story but we'll have to see how the story goes. Batuque's fights near the ending were fun.
>>291762430I like this about Sako's writing in that each character's philosophy and plan of attack is consistent. It doesn't feel like something they wouldn't do.
>>291762693Amazing how this arc has the two most satisfying pay offs in the series. Kaji being the one to save Baku and even surpassing him for a moment and then Hal’s name being the key to the final poker hand
>>291769433Anon congratulation, "you" have scaled the "wall"...HOWEVER
>>291767904>How would Air Mahjong Work?It wouldn't. There are no commonly accepted number values for honour tiles, and anyway mahjong isn't about who has the stronger hand but rather who can finish it first.
This game is harder than one poker
>>291770206Fukomotobros..our response?
>>291762693>Kaji thoughtmogging everyone Our boy has really made it.
>calamity>the lawAraki tier schizo dialogue
>>291759018Nice. Can't wait to read this when I get home.
>>291769881I like Hal getting his bokus and watashis back too
>Kaji went from being the audience surrogate to becoming his own gambling heavyweight >now Champ and Ryusei are the normal ones and audience surrogates Kinda cool, He’s finally become part of that world while still retaining his humanity
>>291767487Depends on the setting
>>291762533It seems Kaji has gotten good enough to read Lalo's personality...
>>291770107>HOWEVERAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>291769433>spoiler>dubs to pair with Yugi gifNot bad, not bad at all, "me".
>>291759018Good cover.
>>291760174lol
>>291760350true
>>291759382Speaking of dreams, wonder if he slept once during Protoporos.>>291759411Captain Lacy callback.>>291760147lol
>>291759892I think so too and I think this is the first time Baku really hated his opponent.
>>291759551As a military base, apparently. Maybe that means "torture facility" who knows.
>>291759934Unlike the blood injection graphics in ToK and Jyongleo's operation, this doesn't faze me.
>>291761011Only the tie?
>>291760110There is leopard print girl again.
>>291763236> the table bolted to the groundThis game is unfair to Lalo
>>291760526Battleship is also an exception. Furthermore, Tower of Karma and the Protoporos Ban Match doesn't necessarily have to end with a players' death.
>>291760609>The Panopticon was intended to be cheaper than the prisons of his time, as it required fewer staff; "Allow me to construct a prison on this model", Bentham requested to a Committee for the Reform of Criminal Law, "I will be the gaoler. You will see ... that the gaoler will have no salary—will cost nothing to the nation." As the watchmen cannot be seen, they need not be on duty at all times, effectively leaving the watching to the watched. According to Bentham's design, the prisoners would also be used as menial labour, walking on wheels to spin looms or run a water wheel. This would decrease the cost of the prison and give a possible source of income.[31]Huh...
>>291760956Ryuusei is ripped.
>>291761084>>291761115Let's gooo
>>291761437lol
>>291772229Battleship is set up by Lacy, Mogami just ensured things ran smoothly like Midara in KY
>>291761177https://youtu.be/YaqfvUM8OgM?si=A_y1wcMOtXyGdD9iRemember the swimming section?
>>291761218Well played.
>>291761336Like father-in-law, like son-in-law.
>>291762272Unironically maybe
>>291761583>>291761599Hell yeah.>>291761644Even Baku is shaken.
>>291761817The flashback conversation between Lalo and Billy in the Labyrinth arc is one of my favorite sequences in the manga.
how do baku and lalo even hear what the refs are saying? shouldn't the water make it impossible to actually understand anything coming from the speaker?
>>291761854Based Makami
>>291771981Pretty sure a human can't survive 24 days without sleep
>>291761910Why are you blushing Douji
>>291772274I was with him until he got to the hamster wheel sweatshops
>>291762062Smug
>>291772369He did karate you know
>>291772619There’s an underwater speaker close to where they sit>>291761155
>>291763680Yeah. Either they're starting to get impressed, or their super-organism hunter instinct is triggered..
>>291762364It's obviously Pokédex numbers. The Pokémon with the type matchup wins.>>291763478At last I truly see : o>>291763152lol
>>291762396That feeling of starting to feel the answer before you can rationalize it.>>291767775lol
>>291772760>obviously Pokédex numbersThat implies beedrill can beat clefable
>>291762481Baku has definitely started to form valid hypotheses about some aspects of the law at this point
>>291762693LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOO
From Oct 21, 2026Setting up tomorrow's charity original art exhibition with the volunteer staff.
>>291762720Thanks Karl-san. We appreciate your effort.>>291772801Poison is super-effective against Fairy, yes.
>>291772865Steadily progressingAlso thank you Karl for posting.
>>291769433Not fucking bad anon. One more aspect to figure out.
>>291772418True.
>>291772681Apparently Bentham is the founder of modern utilitarianism...>>291772657Is Lalo a human? Or a demon...
>>291772865>>291772893Amazing. Thanks anon.
>>291762720Incredible tension i'm holding my breath.
>>291762693HAND>HANDHAND>HANDHAND>HANDHAND>HAND
>>291761583>>291761599>>291761882
>>291759252wait, gitmo was in cuba all along!?
>>291759260only under purgatory rules
>>291759448if there was nobody to stop them, would they fight or fuck?
>>291774417
>>291759745the fuck is that anatomy on lalo
>>291772118anon didn't say he had anything else on
>>291772893That Kyara is so fucking cool
>>291774473His right arm is double jointed, please don't make fun of hid gorilla arm
>>291761084I can't believe we're actually getting a proper 1v1I was worried their gamble would resolve during the chaos and Lalo would get killed by marco or somethingThe premise of it is sooo fucking cool too
>>291774675i didn't even notice the arm because i was trying to figure out why his legs are growing out of his stomach
>>291762693I actually got goosebumpsHow the FUCK did kaji figure this out
Sako should start his own gym with Usogui/Genikasuri art in the wallsIt would pump me up for sure
That latest Genikasuri chapter was kino for the 1st person PoV page.
>>291775886Those fucking arms, feels like he could reach between pages for a punch. I think slenderman has this in the bag.
>>291775181He levelled up
>>291776146Slenderman switching things up didn't scare Amada, he probably mitigated the damage a bit since he saw it coming from the strength of his earlier right hook. My money's on Amada.
>>291775050>1v1:^)
>>291776271What’s EoS Kaji’s ceiling? I like to head canon he reaches the level Baku dreamed about where he was able to challenge StL during the ending where he’s going to help Baku take on the vices and Gonen
>>291776271Holy shit it all makes sense now
>>2917751818 being the lowest possible value of a five card hand is believable trivia knowledge for a poker player, Kaji also knows the total value of an entire deck as will be shown in a chapter or two. With that in mind, it seems like Ryuusei's comment a couple pages earlier ("two players competing with a set of 5 cards") is what finally pushed Kaji over the finish line
>>291772274>"I will be the gaoler. You will see ... that the gaoler will have no salary—will cost nothing to the nation."Okay, so...>Designs a nightmare structure.>Wants to work in it>Completely alone. of course.>He'll even do it for free.In a scale from 98 to 100, how much of a lunatic this dude was?!
How would he react to this match?
>>291777910He did it all for his voyeurism fetish.
>>291777936>Holy fuck they can use both arms
>>291777936>TAKE OFF THE RESPIRATOR BAKU, YOU'VE GOT OXYGEN IN THE WATER!
Guys I don't get it:>>291769433If that was true... shouldn't Lalo's 8 mean four aces and a 4? In that case, shouldn't 8 beat 39?>>291776939I guess I'm missing something, why should 8 be the lowest? I mean, four aces and a deuce makes 6, not 8. And the lowest value poker hand, two 2 and random crap, at it's lowest totals (2+2)+1+3+4= 12, not eight
>>291778315He said three 2s and a pair of aces (2+2+2+1+1). But maybe that anon and Kaji messed up and you're correct, we shall see.
>>291778315 Only if you really want to know:One of the Aces was used when the 15 card was played, so it's no longer able to make a four of a kind.
>>291762481Head empty
>>291777994Kekd

>>291782398>>291782434Burning Kyara or Yakou vs Bai Long have gotta be my favorites

>>291782398Giving them all a look and 33 just stands above the rest in a way.Not that I could say what would be the 2nd best.
>>29178243437-38 as a combination are probably my favorite but my absolute top is still coming up. Otherwise, 32 and 28 are quite great
>>291782628Jack-san... how could you spoil that Baku had fish lungs installed in him like this?
Less than 10 Volumes until the end of storytime:(
>>29178243413 26 31 32 40Btw this would be my Air Poker hand, I wonder if it's strong, kek
>>291783483Which one would you play first?

>>291783305and then we all wait for gonen arc!
Later covers are also better because we see different characters, seeing Baku on the cover over and over gets boring.
>>291783729yeah, it' super lame how 25 first covers is only him
>>291783989Marco should’ve gotten one, and both Kaji and Hal deserved another. maybe during bull’s womb and the bookstore
>>291782434Probably volume 30 stillProtoporos III (Voume 33) is my favorite Protoporos cover so far.
>>291783305There's always Batuque and Genikasuri
>>291783305Someone should dump the spin off even it’s very short
>>291784520OP said he'll do it at the end
