Well there is not a latest chapter discussion topic and as I really want to ask a question about the latest chapter here it is.

Ok, so newest chapter 163 In the Lead.
Why on earth would Kei offer to sell her Jack of Spades? I mean I guess she is lying but it seems a really stupid lie as it can only hurt her. If she is telling the truth and she offers up the card to be sold and the man does not buy the card but lets the other girl get it Kei will be left with a pair but only 4 cards and will pig as it is the last round she will be unable to buy another card. If she is lying which man I hope she is then at least she just is a random jerk that exposed herself as a liar for no good reason what so ever. Any theories on why she did this? I mean I can only think that this was the only way for the group to lose as if she pigs, is dropped from the game the other members of the cult will have to go on without her but man it is not a very satisfying ending.

Chapter 174 : I just love Kimura's face on the last page. I was waiting for this!

[DualPrinciple]

Yeah, bro, I totally get what you mean. But that look seems really retarded :X

I could try to rationalize about what could have Akiyama done, but my quesses so far haven't been exactly acurate (although I read most of the chapters up until 158 in two days).

Oh, by the way, great job, Veggielover. I always thought there should be a latest chapter discussion thread on this series and kept forgetting to make one. Actually having one made by someone else feels more rewarding somehow.

[Secros Matias Supreme]

I believe

Spoiler

Akiyama convinced muscle head to go trick Kimira then when muscle head walked around he explained the plan to those four other guys who all got burned by the cult group in the island chairs game. Kimura was not suspicious when she saw him walking around, being more concerned with ave and harimoto, also with greed

.

Though that should be obvious.

akiyama discarded his hand. Simple.

[Alsab]

^That's what I thought too.
What I think might happen

Spoiler

Akiyama discards entire hand. All of the dumber people will bid every coin they have on it, so he will screw up Kimura's strategy and not miss out on much profit. Even better if the cult makes Mikamoto buy them, though I don't think they will be that dumb.

[DukeGod]

Ooh, Akiyama just took a lot of money away from those guys. And possibly won to boot!

Yup... but, I saw this coming a mile away. <shrugs> I just knew double-agent shenanigans were part of the game to link everybody else right under the cult's noses to cut them out of their winnings.

It's a devastating psychological blow: and, designed to be that way.

[DukeGod]

We all suspected Kawai would be a double-agent. But really, the way he pulled this thing off was amazing. Taking the coins the enemy had given him. And it only worked Ponytail was spying on Kanzaki instead of him, I think that was set-up too?

But something is a bit confusing. How is his Straight Flush beating Tanimoto's?

[rongngungay]

He has straight of 6 cards, the other only has 5

[kShinobii]

The amount of cards in a straight is irrelevant as only 5 cards count for the straight. Akiyama's straight is better because it goes from 3 to 7 while Harimoto's goes A (1) to 5 which is the lowest straight possible.

[Arknova]

I always love the facial expressions the author creates!

Kimura's face at the end is, yet again, priceless.

::Also, I never really noticed it until really looking back again but

Spoiler

Kimura's neck is freaking HUGE

This cannot be unseen.

Wow, what a transphobic bitch you are. Fukunaga was an antagonist for a single game, and has been helping Nao ever since. Don't be such an asshole about them.

Yes, of course she would lose, She is facing the main antagonist and with only 2 others on her side her max limit for a hand would be 15 but with the limited amount of money that her group has the other group could buy all the cards and leave them empty handed but they managed to have 8 cards in total.
