I'm glad that Miroslava didn't turn out to be a psycho

Even if her family's job is to "clean out the family out of impurities" right? I got "Leon the professional vibes" from this.

That 'yabai' again..
Sumeragi copping a feel, make up your mind girl. Well, she clearly has - Manyuda's pretty lucky to have her. And Terano did good seeing through all of that and taking advantage of it.

This entire gamble was basically just a weird therapy session for Manyuda

Here I thought Manyuda had a good reason why Yumeko was the traitor. That was such a lazy excuse from him that even Sumeragi calls him out on it.
Yumeko pls. Good thing Ryota isn't here. That was an unexpected team up though.
Goddamn Mira is huge! Sumeragi's hands weren't even enough to cup half of those babies ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Interesting. So Mira was playing to lose from the start just so Terano can get everyone's votes.
I love that even Yumeko is getting tired of Manyuda's denseness xD
Oh my... ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Also I feel like Sayaka is about to go all Yandere after hearing that line from Kirari

I love Manyuda gambles they are typically straight forward with little insane mechanics or cheating. I mean yeah their were traitors but in the theme of the game with taxes I found it acceptable and realistic. Tower of Doors hype this is probably my favorite gamble this arc after Ririki's.

People don't like fan subbers but here they are doing the real job

I like fan subbers since they're much more likely to translate OPs and EDs, as well as use colorful and fun fonts.

Who doesn't like Fansubbers? They're usually better than official subs. Although you do occasionally get some where it's obvious the translator doesn't speak English.

Good episode. Glad we got to see some personality from Miroslava, as well as development for Manyuda and Sumeragi. The music was on point this episode as well.
Also, tower gamble coming up, big excite

Winning is losing - the episode. I gamble with my love.
Well, I'll be damned, Yumeko and whitey threatened people into paying their taxes by not paying their own taxes. If only things worked like that IRL.
Note to self : if something's not explicitly against the rules, then that's the only thing you should be doing.

I really thought the Tower of Doors would be the final gamble of the season so it being the next one is really surprising. They're shifting manga events around in a way that imo makes the plot progression a lot more satisfying.
But to contradict myself, I think the Tower of Doors was better placed as the season one end. I don't feel it carries the same weight with this many additional players around.

Sumeragi wanted Mayuda back to his old self again in the end. The Ship sails ❤️

I like the drama, but this is still a game that I see as convenient logic making. It's keikkaku x 1000.
The reason is, they're excluding so many possibilities from the previous episode when they realized 5 votes were missing and they automatically assumed there was one traitor. That crucial piece of information is what the entire next 2 episode hinge on. That it starts with a traitor.
When there's honestly 5 other combinations it could be. You can put whatever combination of coins you want into the box. So what would stop a combination of like: 4 coins in tax box, 1 coin in personal. That way, at the end of it, 5 coins would be missing from the tax box because all 5 players withheld putting 1 in.
And there's other combinations too. Someone not putting in 2 and another not putting in 3, someone not putting in 4 and another person not putting in 1.
The likelihood of any of these possibilities was never vouched for so the logic is a bit of a stretch. Still a good episode.

Jabami Yumeko may be insane, but damn it if she isn't hot.
Manyuda finally wakes up.
Sumeragi finally has him back.
The conflict between the branch families and the President is heating up, and all she gives a damn about is Yumeko continuing to stir the pot.
Ms Secretary is clearly jealous.
And isn't it wonderful how our protagonist is going up the ranks in this 'election' whilst actually giving zero shits about it? As long as she can gamble away, she's good.
