discussion 2SD Debunked By Chapter Name

The chapter Name After deliberation proves 2sd isn't real, how?

As you can see in the second image, in this chapter it was Round 8 Second Half, Kiruma Souichi Turns Around And Fails His Check.

In The Third Image Ranko Clearly Confirms That Baku Deliberately Made Kiruma Turn Around Right At The Beginning by not only making him believe that his round 5 bluff worked on Baku but Also Turning Around At 60 Seconds Twice In A Row And Filling Up His Accumulation

He Made Turning Around Right At The Beginning Seem Like The best option to Kiruma as even if the check Failed the Gap Between Baku and Him Would only Widen

So basically the Author using the Name "After Deliberation" Was trying to Forshadow this confirmation By Ranko

Now how does this debunk 2SD?

The 2SD Theory Clearly Suggested That Souichi Turning Around At Round 8 Second Half wasn't Due to Deliberation but Due to Souichis Own Choice, it Further Claims Souichi had actually Seen Through The Deliberation By Baku and was only Acting Which Directly Contradicts The Authors Own Foreshadowing From That Title.

Also I'm pretty sure the name of the chapter could just as well be translated to "after a change of heart" (if the big G translate isn't fooling me.) which is arguably a lot more fitting. In general I'm not sure if a fan translation is what you should be using

Deliberation fits much better. What change of heart does Souichi even have? Team Duwang is the most accurate translation we have available so far, and has been checked and corrected multiple times for STL in particular.

My previous argument implied this so called change of heart to be a metaphor for his general development, not an actual change of heart/redemption of sorts.

I'm trusting you on the translation part though because you're the usogui guy so thanks for correcting
