The Bet was the perfect society mirror...and seems this will be the ark of Mafufami to redeem, c'mon man, man up, don't leave sumeragi down.... I think he hoarded all the money first too.

I think the greater good game is my favorite gamble of this series. Yumeko pulls off acting insane so easily its disturbing.
I'm surprised at how well this gamble developed both Sumeragi and Manyuda as characters. I liked how by losing in the second bet that Sumeragi provided extra motivation to Mamyuda. He needs to step up to save his girl. How perfect.

I feel like in season 1, Kirari was just the default "antagonist" the audience was supposed to root against for Yumeko and crew to overcome. We didn't know much about her, and she felt so hard to reach in terms of feeling compassion towards or feeling anything honestly. She's cold, calculating, and kinda manipulating at times.
But in this season, this hasn't changed much. But this recent arc with Sayaka shows a different side of her. At first, I thought that she only saw Sayaka as an expendable pawn like everyone else on the council. She actually likes her (dunno if it's just as a fascination of being total opposites of her or actually liking her as a friend) and the arc showed a more endearing side of her. Now, I wonder if she would've jumped for Sayaka if she chose the wrong door. I don't get what that means, though. Was the safety mat only in one area of the bed of flowers? So if Sayaka chose any other door, would she have fallen on hard dirt? lol |

You just know no one's going to die when they go all in on these "life or death" gambles, we got those guns back in s1 and now the tower jump this last 2 episodes, but you can't say they're not exciting!
Not to mention how Yumeko is supposed to be an insane compulsive gambler and also apparently an academic genius at the same time, while also having Mystic Eyes of Death Perception being insanely perceptive of things Quote:
The way Kirari explained it was that Sayaka's logical mind somehow unconsciously picked the right door, and that the president wouldn't have jumped along with her if she didn't pick the right door, because it would've killed both of them. This is a massive cop out for me, I know they can't kill off characters but this is too unbelievable, Sayaka should be dead by now! I also cannot make sense of the last puzzle, I know they said it's braille but all the braille number charts I've seen doesn't look like what was shown. Well actually all the problems shown to open the doors are still a puzzle to me lol.
