Now that we know who won the Referee Battle Royal lets see what game he will play!Other Volumeshttps://pastebin.com/9HGt1efZVolume 45 1/2>>291979060
>>292011666Thanks for starting early, but you forgot the subject once again :)
>>292011666At last, I got the timing right.
>>292011700Yeah i know...
>>292011666Ummm guys, I think time has something to do with StL
>>292011770And so it begins...
We're finally at the stage where spoilers themselves become spoilers
>>292011725>a heretrical bloodlineLeader's mother worshiped the devil confirmed!
>>292011770Even on multiple re-reads, I'm still getting excited
>>292011720raise a triumphant ritual post, you mighty "reader"
>>292011725THREE MEN...
>>292011880This is the first major gamble in the main story, that Baku is facing on his own isn’t? Well unless you count the Nim game, he’s had help from Kaji, Marco, or Hal in every other arc
>>292011926Weak bitch
>>292011856>>292011880>when yakou doesn't let you watch
OP got the timing of the title wrong...
>>292011926>already tired
Looks like I got the "timing" wrong :P
>>292012019This summer, Yakou Hikoichi is...Chris Hansen
>>292012019so dramatic
>>292012042Gotta set the stage
>>292011915He did the first part of the labyrinth on his own due to Kyara needing to safeguard Kaji and Marco still sneaking in.
>>292012072>treat you as our own childLol, what an ass kiss. Refs have no loyalty to the leader of Kakerou personally, only the position
>>292012072How old is Yakou supposed to be? Even when he's not in an HANDSOME panel, he feels at most in his early 50's
>>292012166There isn't much of a difference considering the Kirumas have always been at the head of Kakerou
If Kakerou gambles are supposed to be a twisted version of children’s games, then what does Dotty represent?
>>292012166thanks for the info sako
>>292012268imagine playing the kakerou version of soggy biscuit though
So what’s stopping of either of them from distracting the other as D by making silly noises to unnerve the other? Seems like a viable strategy. I don’t see any rules against spitting or wet willies either
this is the greatest gamble in the entire series btw
>>292012262>the C and the D are here
RE-ENTER
>>292012314I just looked that up and do children really?
>>292012390baku get the sand out of your vagina, jeez
This game is pretty much a rendition of bull’s womb, no? They’re very similar, though this time the players are lucky that they don’t have to count to 1 minute with their biological clock
>>292012404what better way to spend a wholesome evening with the lads
AFuckingHandkerchief
>>292012373So, he's a kakerou sweeper now?
>>292012314Who would win soggy biscuit between Baku and Leader?Baku is a canon gooner so i'd bet he has far more endurance than Leader, that puts him at a disadvantage
>>292012538Yep
>>292012523How is Baku’s weak heart supposed to survive this?
>>292012523Sounds like a good way to get brian damage
>>292012572Surely he must've thought of such a possibility when subtly telling Yakou he wanted this sort of game.
>>292012572Baku has been forged by years of Yakou's coffee, this is nothing to him
>>292012523>this is a 'NEAR'-death game>>292012547>next page has a bunch of character puppetsDEATH NOTE BROS, WE ARE BACK
>>292012600spoopy
>>292012523Leader wont give a shit about this after going through dismemberment and impaling
What’s harder this or bull’s womb?
AAAIIIEEEE NOT THE NEEDLES IN THE VEIN
>>292012765I can't believe Baku's fucking dead
This is actually the only game in the series I think I’d do ok at, of course minus the NDD
>>292012765it's funny that baku is always the one getting ryona'd in these exposition scenes
Holy shit, you’re telling me the submarine just happened to have this drug set up
>>292012653random anatomy flex from sako
>>292012771id rather risk the drug than going into a brazen bull
>>292012792This sounds a bit retarded compared to the other games.
>>292012784Again!
>>292012832Kakerou's referees are also chemist
>>292012852I suppose you would have preferred betting on aircrafts flying in the sky
>>292012174I figured he's in at least his late 60s if not 70s. 50s would be too young for him to apparently be so much weaker due to age.
>>292012765KWAB
>>292012954You can tell he rehearsed this entire speech in his mind
>>292012976Fuck, I wish these two became a duo instead of Kaji and Floyd. These two were technically a team together in battleship and unknowingly worked together. Plus they’re the most moral people in the series
>>292013018>Rapists>Moral
>>292012632Yakou doesn't want you to know, but this "near-death drug" is actually just his coffee
I’m still failing to see how luck isn’t more important than skill here
>>292012999So you’re allowed to trash talk your opponent and make weird noises? I get why it neither of them won’t do it, because it’ll make the whole gamble too silly but it can work as an actual strategy
>>292013066Reading your opponent is far more important here
Laeder looks so much better with this hairstyle
>Messi vs Ronaldo fanboys
>>292013194that sounds annoying as fuck
>>292013240>cop rooting for the guy who tried and failed to perform a terrorist attack
>>292013216why is Fukuro allowed to listen to the STL gamble?
>>292013262These two sound like little kids arguing whose dad is stronger or girlfriends bragging about their boyfriends
>>292013262HACHINA WILL WIN
>>292013316Uhhh, I hope they’re not actually standing that close together
>>292013288he's a cool guy
>>292013288The rule is just about observing the game. You're still allowed to listen
>>292013262BAKU WILL WIN
>>292013361Don't do it Baku
>>292013361Dee
>>292013361>Baku has white stuff on his lip while saying D
ENTER THE PENULTIMATE GAMBLE
>>292011770my heroes...and oyakatasama
>>292013361AAAAA
>>292013399ITS OVER FOR BAKU
:)
>>292013418He GIGGLED
>>292011926baku doesn't have his heart in this thing
I am rooting for Leader, he’s cooler and the most compelling character in the series for me
>>292013418HE LAUGHED
>>292013436Gakuto...
>>292013418hehehehe
NEW READERS GET YOU GUESSES IN WHO WINS
>>292013418HE EXHALED AIR WHICH MADE SOUNDS
>>292013443Sounds better than betting on whether planes are going to fly over their heads.
>>292013418>At that moment he was laughing
>>292013465LET'S FUCKING GOOOO
>>292013485!
And then there's this asshole
Baku-san...
Don’t click on that page, first time readers. It will ruin the whole gamble for you
>>292013044He's trying to read Baku considering he knows Baku has something planned in regards to "time". He's trying to see if what he's asking for is something Baku wants to get a better grasp of what he's plotting.
>>292013551Im not "green" anon.A storytime were someone posts spoilers at the highpoint of the series DOESNT EXIST
>>292013116>Already took out kariume>That faceYou can tell Baku is shitting his pants right now, he's putting on his best poker face
>RPS is the final gambleAbsolute cinema
Sako showing his skills as a hair stylist again
>>292013175>telephone>Baku had Ryuu check the phone by calling homeWhat the fuck did Baku do to the phones?
>>292012442The Bull game rules are unironically more fun (with a more impactful prop/punishment as well).
>>292013603>Everyone present suddently get a lot more handsome
>>292012523easy peasy
>>292013624The softness of his features remind me of Griffith
>>292013558First round:Hal topsBaku bottoms
>>292013666>no longer calls him HalFriendship is over :(
>>292013418>>292013443>>292013465kek, the rock paper scissors joke paid off in the end.
Could Rolon Donaire beat StL at RPS?
>>292013763Sako is dead...
That's it for the second half Volume 45!Thanks for reading and dont be a liar anon or the Kaji will appear in your Sleep!See you tomorrow for the first half of Volume 46!
>>292013044If you check while the handkerchief is floating to the floor wouldnt the squandered time be 0 seconds since you dont press the button until it hits the floor?
>>292013799That would be a failed check
>>292013789Thank you for posting OP!See ya!
>>292013624Does Hokuto Shinken have any technique to read another's person mind?
>>292013763This "spar" came to a "razor-thin" margin unlike his face might suggest.
>>292013799It's probably tough for Yakou to be that quick, the fastest reaction time humanly possible is 0.1 seconds
>>292013693Is it really a safe strategy when you’re accumulating near a minute of the drug?
>>292013289Nice contrast with the outer clothes and inner shirts being inverted
>>292013845It's safe because you can do it up to 5 times guaranteed
>>292013816At the very least, Hokuto Shinken should be able to control the target's hand muscles long enough to drop it whenever he chooses.
>>292013845It's safe short term, and if the dropper drops late to bait a failed check it doesn't accumulate much.
>>292013789The fight if anyone wants to see:https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLHpSK_wV7KEK4QGUeO8yuYuGrxr0xphEI
So this is the final gamble, huh?
This is simultaneously the most simple but most difficult gamble in the series
>>292012839Well done, Sako... Now draw a front view of a human's head, viewed slightly from below the chin
>>292013906shhhh...
Air Poker but it's Baku (and Kaji) vs Hal (and Oofuna)
>>292013044Even though he’s not a gambler, Leader must’ve been prepping with games since he was young to prepare himself for an StL match one day
>>292013551You should delete yourself
>>292013939Kaji definitely knows poker better than Gakt and was faster on the uptick than him. Deadly agony is tough, Kaji survived Bulls womb and rodem but Gakt is an actual officer.
>>292012632this is a cardioplegic solution. it raises potassium levelss in the blood to such a level that it blocks electric signals in the heart making it stop. we use it for heart surgeries
>>292012954thanks to the Anon that posted this in on of the previous threads
>>292013694What's going on?
>>292014153*one
im unironically marco level so even after reading the spoilers I don't understand why they are significant
>>292013485The next page in the thread is a spoiler not posted by OP.
>Macro is still high in the forest somewhere thinking he’s helping Baku
>>292012745>>292012765Wouldn't they shit themselves with this method?
Pro tip for the not-so-bright mo-fos.Don't open any images not posted by the OP trip.
>>292012912>NEARDEATHNEARDEATHNEARDEATHIn case you're wondering, this word appears 192 times from this volume to the end of the manga
>>292011912Yes... THREE MEN!
>>292012102Yakou letting Leader know he killed his dad
>>292012166He is spesifically distracting him and showing how the game is played. It's a brilliant demonstration of the game hidden in flowery exposition.
>>292012771This by a kilometer
>>292014887This by 0.621 miles if you're American.
>>292013603>SSJ Bakuthe powercreep is real
>>292014954Stop opening images not made by the OP
>>292013140He ate it! I think?
>>292014887WTF IS A KILOMETER?!
>>292011770Baku looking ancient
>>292014970I use 4chanXT and reading in gallery mode fuck
>>292011880you dont get to bring friends
Gakt is so smitten with Hachina he doesn’t even care that he’s a leader of a criminal gambling organisation
>>292013789Thanke OP, lets hope we can enjoy this gamble to the fullest
>>292015017Delete your reply to "it". Even if they get removed by the worthless jannies who don't do anything you don'r want posts linking to them.
>>292011725Why is he from a heretical bloodline? His family has been ruling Kakerou since the beginning. It’s basically his destiny. Is it because Kakerou is something that should not exist?
>>292015201fair pointI already forgot what the text said anyway. "I" used my "speed"
>>292015217I have to wonder if heretical is an accurate translation.
>>292015201It's funny how the post calling it out got deleted instead of the literal spoilers. The "announcing a report" rule literally only works to lower the quality of the board and be manipulated by shitposters for to get people banned.
>>292015249"I" deleted "my" post by "myself"
>>292015271I meant the other two previous posts that got deleted, not yours anon
>>292012404no, i think it's just an urban legendi remember kids talking about it when i was in school but not even a rumor of anyone actually trying it
>>292011770There go my herooooes
>>292011926Lole
>>292015249Shitposters... are gamblers
>>292012102Oh yeah I never really considered that Hachina was never formally told about his dad getting merked. Or at least not by Yakou
>>292012159Should have played drop the soap
>>292013066It's essentially risk/reward for C and short term/long term gains for D with a RPS in between (late check>late drop>early check>early drop>late check), so mind games are fairly important. It's close to Kaji and Floyd's sword/shield game
>>292012390Rude
>>292012523But if the result can be death then it's a death game right*
>>292012600Really stretching that ink budget
tastuki was a jobber and irrelevant
>>292014128Neat
>>292012632Mmm, banana drugs
>>292012765Mii-chan was able to do this without any fancy drugs
>>292012856Fukurou is a peeping tom
>>292014182*no, two
>>292013018>>292013034They're the perfect ying-yang, the ultimate justice and the ultimate rape!
>>292013828A handkerchief takes more than 0.1 seconds to fall to the floor
>>292013194Superior sound
>>292013268Speaking clocks were mainly used to sync your watch or wall clock iirc. Before them there was even a profession of selling time to people, where they'd pay you and you'd tell them what time it is so they can set their watch or clock.
>>292013269It's easy to forget but Gackt was involved in that since he helped form ACIA. He wasn't explicitly told that there'd be a terrorist attack, but it was heavily implied that they're gonna cause one.
>>292013292Or two moms arguing whose son has the bigger dick
>>292013262
>>292013289Two different yet equally autistic stances
>>292013361I'll find a use for this somehow
>>292012314>Kaji enters a gamble>Kaji's throat virginity is at stake>The game is Soggy Biscuit>The opponent is cheating, his penis is clearly augmented>Kaji gets trashed the first round, our deuteragonist is in BIG trouble>the referee has lost confidence>Baku appears in a flashback where he and Kaji jerked off to porn together>"A serial rapist that keeps on cumming doesn't exist">Kaji suddenly gets a lot more attractive>*ahem*>*peels back foreskin*>"synesthesia">close up of his face, nose bleeding and eyes dilated>cut to his opponent about to cum in the corner>"you have....>....big weiner">this triggers his opponent to have a flashback to his childhood>this in turn triggers Marco to have a 10 chapter fight where he unlocks kaioken x20>a dark silhouette appears in the distance>"Kaji....is a clever creep....">this is all merely a trick to bait another person into a gamble>Usogui enters a gamble
>>292013418Cute Liida
>>292013483At least you can spend a lot of money rigging that
>>292013558Lmao Hal's face
>>292016360
>>292013603The hair is coming alive
>>292013789Thanks OP
>>292012404It's a game for mature men
>>292012373Do we ever know why ArAhAtA is hairier than everyone else?
>>292016410Meanwhile Leader is rocking that Norwood 1Life ain't fair
>>292016449He's part ainu
>>292013066Then you're stupid. The only factor that influences whether you suffer defeat or not is your opponents decision-making
>>292012416>Yakou just saying what he wants to imagine instead of what either of them want
>>292012579If everyone who does StL is subject to this it's a no wonder all of the generic prodigies end up establishing meme rules
>>292013443>>292013465I think someone was arguing itt weeks ago that Air Poker would work better as the final game, or something like that? They might've been right tbqh, but I don't think Surpassing the Leader was ever meant to be a standard gamble.
>>292016983Air Poker is the final boss battle while StL is the final duel between rivals is how I see it. It's like the original ygo manga.
>>292013074>>292011856Duwang made the same "celever" typo twice?
>>292016983Handkerchief game works because Usogui and Leader know each other so well. There is extreme opportunity for skill expression because their thoughts are fathomable to each other, and there is alot of room for their talents to shine. Air Poker... It's more like "psychopath expression", you are locked in a box and its debatable if you should even think. It works because Lalo is a psychopath, but Leader would be completely muffled, and chained down by the possibilities of only 52 cards
>OP jobbed with the subject again
>>292011957LONG NECK
>>292017634Whether to elongate his neck or shorten it...is all at his will...
>>292013065kek
>>292016983They are both the perfect way to end the manga.
>>292012999Man this is a pretty kino infopanel. I could see this animated as a shaft frame that's purely a color or a piece of the scenery
>>292013065Kaji the immortal
>>292013034Rape-man is the most moral superhero
>>292016983always a whiplash seeing early Usogui art
>>292018932I almost wish you didn't post these, but for gaijin like us it is pretty authentic to the Sako experience.I assume "SNS management" means social media interaction.
WMBTW is gonna be this threads slogan, all I'm saying
>>292014471People really browse this shithole without forced anon?
>>292019160People browse here on a raw unfiltered mobile browser dog, what do you think?
>>292019187Damn. We got some real window lickers in here I guess
>>292019160Tripfags are much less obnoxious and omnipresent these days than they were 15 years ago
>>292019160Realistically, tripfags are only a problem nowadays in threads that are already filled with fags. So if you're having issues with tripfags, you should consider the fag factor of the threads you browse, and mayhaps look into the inner fag that drives you to them
>>292014172Some fanart. Best ignore images during dumps though
>>292018932is ippo still in limbo right in the middle of the ricardo fight
So Yakou replacing the clock with a speaking clock helps Baku because it’s easier to track the time?
>>292017181How celever of you to notice...
>Saw someone read the storytime during a train rideYOU ANON ARE A BIG GAMBLER
>>292014984Is like 100 cheeseburgers
>>292020935if real you should've walked in front of him with a small plastic wrapper or something and tried to imitate bakumaking sure he (she?) would see you
What if you already have a tissue or handkerchief in your pocket? Can you use it to trick C?’
>>292021417The topic of substitutes comes up later
>>292011985I like Yakou intimidating Baku here, saying that "There's no game without luck involved" with his reaper face, while Baku specifically wanted a game purely about mindgames. What a jokester.
>>292012230Hm, so Baku wasn't sure exactly what kind of rules drop the handkerchief would have. I guess Baku thought it had the best chance of being the kind of game he would play, and gambled on choosing it (through Yakou). I never caught that before.
>>292012373even ArAhAtA shows up againdidn't expect that>>292016449he's just like me
>>292012632Just noticed that the cylinder containers have a similar pattern to the poison vials that the referees had.>>292014128Ugh that makes me uncomfortable. Neat fact tho
>>292013906kek
>>292012813ha is that true?
>>292012832I guess it makes sense due to anon's explanation of how they use it for heart surgeries and there was medical equptment on the boat. Now for the containers? Yeah who knows.
>>292014610nice
>>292018535yeah
>>292016983Air Poker with Usogui and Leader would just be the latter being able to hold his breath for hours due to some ninja magic bullshit and winning by default.
>>292022227Or, y'know, filling all the Bios with trace amounts of arsenic (that he's already immunised himself to)
>>292013024Leader would ask if you can play perfectly.>>292013044The Magician's choice is how Leader played the coffee creamer game and Battleship btw. I guess he's feeling he's being offered a magician's choice and he still walks into it by asking what choices of timing devices are available.
>>292016302yep
>>292013399lolI suppose this might be the penultimate gamble
>>292013418Was Baku trying to make a funny joke with the overly verbose RPS explanation this whole time and Leader is the first one to have laughed at it?
>>292013465>>292013485>>292013514kino
>>292013537I like this line.
>>292013603>>292013624Harima? Is that you?
>>292013725Baku is a better mind gamer isn't he. Leader always tries to manipulate his opponents to do as Leader wants beforehand. I can't imagine he did so here, but what if?
>>292020935Actually? Sick.That wasn't like 2-3 weeks ago was it?
>>292013897Nah that slip uppercut counter at 0:55 was clean, idk why people slander Sako's boxing.
Would Souichi laugh at bogos binted?
>>292021385That sounds autistic as fuck
>>292013335why? are you afraid one of them would lose to the temptation of those luscious lips?
>>292022387Leader is closer to Suteguma, doing everything perfectly. He isn't anymore weighed down by his own personal downside of forgetting everything over every mistake, because making a mistake can paradoxically end you with a better result.Leader is very much "Baku-tier" but his approach is very different which is why I enjoy this gamble more than Air Poker.
>>292013116>>292013140OUR RAPIST unironically won the gamble for baku here and he doesn't even know it
>>292025070>"Kaji-chan, I need you to stand in this room for a while. Trust me, this is vital for my keikakus success"
Don't forget Anons!
>>292022175in hangman while the gamble gets explained we get panels of baku dying while hanged, and in air poker we see him (+ lalo to be fair) suffocate to death again as they explain the gamblein ToK we dont get a moment like this but the whole arc is a baku ryonafest anyways.ironically Kaji never gets the same treatment in bvll or his other gambles, the death game is just explained normally
>>292026197Ah got you.>>292024663>Leader is very much "Baku-tier"That's very possible. I'm only saying Baku is superior in reading his opponent, since he perfectly guesses Leader's thoughts in the page I quoted. And Baku should be superior in that way imo, since his ability to read an opponent has been established in the story.
>>292016357Change the D into N
>>292026197>ironically Kaji never gets the same treatment in bvll I mean there *was* the death scare after Kaji got the irregular deviation and Karl reset the timer. That spooked the shit out of me first time round
>>292013240>>292013262>usogui has a diaper duo
>>292011666>Almost missed the threadAn OP that keeps the subject... Does not exists... Also kino words to start STL>As time goes by, the result of a battle will be turned into an eternal fact
>>292012932>>292012954I got chills from these two pagesThe stage is set
I don’t get the kaji rapist meme
>>292027496That day... he... and then he dumped the bodies in the mountains... sorry, it's too much to speak of...
Fun fact.OP forgot the subject "only" 5 times! so far...
>>292027496That's just who he is...
"1.6 kilos to go!!"
Read the manga in the past and posted in past storytimes, but I don't remember any reference to Kaji being a rapist, what did I miss?
>>292029190>>292028202
>>292022258>Either play Baku's game and give him the advantage or pretend to play Baku's game and he gets the advantage anywayI feel like Leader gets a better outcome pretending to be retarded
>>292023990Bogos binted is honestly pretty funny the first few times you see it, but Leader doesn't seem the type to seek out entertainment himself.
>>292026245>Baku, who devours lies>vs. Souichi, who's life is a lie HMMM
GET IN!!!!>>292030777>>292030777>>292030777
>>292028202>>292027496>>292029335God I have loved this storytime, you anons, yes even you Keng/a/n "green" anons, have really elevated the storytime with all of these memes and other stupid bullshit
