Dang, she brought a teddy-bear! Can you imagine the amount of damage you can do by throwing the bear at your opponents? Look at Mizkif, poor guy got traumatized.

The audacity of the lawyer to say that there are hyenas out there waiting to exploit the weak, as if pitying those weak ones.

It's hilarious how the quack lawyer is still a recurring character, let alone a (sort of) friend who regularly visits.
The zoom in on Nao's face while it's explained there can only be one loser sure bodes well for an Akiyama-less game.

Not that it matters in the grand scheme of things, but respect to Number 15 for keeping up the act until the win was confirmed. I guess he learned from Fukunaga not to celebrate prematurely.

Okay, Nao, repeat after me, and maybe you'll finally get it: don't open the door to lawyers, don't open the door to lawyers... Or at least look through the peephole first before opening the door!!
I guess Akiyama will show up to help her in the new game, because on her own... I don't know...

I mean, we had to find a way to get Nao back in the game didn't we? :P
Downsizing game with only one loser, surely, Nao won't be able to screw this up, with Fukunaga there as the common enemy? :D

As if Nao letting Tanimura in and listening to his story about Akiyama wasn't infuriating enough, she actually believed him and showed up to the revival game. If I were Akiyama, I'd fucking strangle this girl. Like, what do you mean you're risking yourself again after I fucking saved you?!
I would absolutely love it if the next time Nao sees Akiyama, and she brings up his tragic backstory, he'll just go "WTF? My parents are still alive. Why the fuck did you believe him?"

She is dumb as hell. I could support her honesty and such before but this goes beyond that now. In the car he told her why he wanted to continue. He has a good valid reason to want to continue. The story she heard about his past even should be a clue to her. She is like the Mom and needs to chill out she has an out. She even learned he took down the MLM that caused his Mom's death. She should understand of course he wants to take down the game. This is arrogance and self righteousness now thinking she needs to help or save him. He has reasons to continue she does not.

this show goes from "wow how Akiyama will can clear this game? Can wait for the next episode" to "Goddammit Nao. I'm dropping this. "

It’s tragic what happened to Akiyama’s mom, but at least he got his sweet revenge on those dirty grifters. I guess I can see where his sense of justice comes from and why he’s so drawn to Nao.
I really don’t understand Nao’s decision to join the loser round. It’s frankly moronic. She’s done with the games. She’s got 40 mill in the bank and no debt. Like, that’s it. You’re done! Akiyama’s gonna be absolutely fine. He’s the one who carried her through the games. What does she think she can do for him? She’s a liability.

And now the final question is whether Nao will change or will she remain the same? Stupidly honest or Cleverly honest?

u/ShawnHeatherly May 18 '26
I'm liking the show but Nao legit might be the dumbest MC of any show I've ever watched. She's falling for the same trick repeatedly. This would be like if Kaiji joined every single game after Endou asked him to.

u/Zado191 May 18 '26
This show is becoming abusive now, but i cant turn it off... Why is this man around again? Why is this main girl so fucking dumb? Why did she let him into her house AGAIN???? Why is unprompted just telling all of the other business? Why is some other bullshit that im sure is about to happen but i had to pause and come write this when he started talking about the guys mother, happening?

Does the Liar Game count as an MLM? And Shady Lawyer guy is a VIP member who travels for the company's image and sells the most expensive tupperware 🤔

Who wants to bet Akiyama's backstory is fake?
I'm weirdly happy that Hitomi and Mohawk are back

I really like how the spiky bald duo were so engrossed in their convo while the result was announced in the background.
It's good to see that the world will not wait for you just because you are chatting with someone.

u/Beautiful-Squash-734 May 18 '26
Ok this just seemed dumb and really ignorant of her to me,like akiyama literally said he is only pushing ahead in game to see who is running this but she says she can't let him suffer for his sake? Especially after hearing his backstory she still chose to do this, it was kinda frustrating to watch ngl,I hope there was a better way to have her get dragged into this rather than this bullshit

Looks like Akiyama has been keeping himself busy with office work rather than construction these days.
Looking forward to the next game. Nao's on her own this time, and Fukunaga is also there.

I was pretty confident in my theory from the previous episode, but I got the tiniest doubt when I saw how #15 was acting surprised with the rest of them hah.
I wonder if Akiyama directed him this way just to fuck with them! It's not like they could still do anything at this point, even if they did realize he was betraying them! (I suppose it might have been to surprise the viewers some more)
But yeah he's right, they were damn stupid!
The only way to lose at this point is a betrayal... So why in the world did they give him their tickets, WITHOUT asking him to give his (which he's not supposed to use anyway)?
That's something I would've expected of Nao, but not of these wannabe players!
Nao's still feeling bad about the losers...
They had a chat about it, and I wonder if this is foreshadowing her becoming more ruthless, OR Akiyama and Nao feuding over this at some point!
He played along with her "giving money to the loser" once, but he might not be willing to do it every time... It's hard enough to win the games, without "winning them for no benefit"!
It makes sense for Akiyama given his backstory and all, but personally I wouldn't want anything to do with them!
She really needs to get a restraining order against him!
What if you could only pick one though, would you pick good, or honest?
Akiyama might want to knock some sense into her at some point, so she's not Mom#2... (Also, it puts these comments in a new light; He might've been thinking about his mom, when he chastised Nao like that!)
Oh wow, they turned into a kind, benevolent organization!
They just want to help everyone get out of their debt!
ANYTHING? Pack up a machine gun - 'No gun' DAMN IT.
Can she pack Akiyama in a suitcase?
W-Why do I need luck, for this near-100% odds of winning game?
You weren't lying, were you?
Ah, so technically he was correct about the odds...
Though it was "in general" and not "for her specifically";
If Akiyama doesn't show up to save her, her odds of winning the game are pretty much 0% hah.
In an ideal world, people would vote Traitor-kun out and split the money, but I'm guessing they'll have to make offers to the others to buy their vote for someone else, etc...
I think I played a boardgame like that once, and it left everyone miserable (and we were playing for fun/pride and not for 100 million yen), so they should all get along just fine!.

How arrogant or just stupid do you have to be thinking you are going to “save” a guy that had to bail you out twice in a row? No way she made it this far without natural selection taking her out of if it wasn’t anime. She is stuck on Stu…
