Here is my theory, from the start, we show how crude and ruthless he is, how he loves torturing these ignorant people.

bcz him ? He sees too much, feels too much, he senses too much, he saw how fucked up this world is. How trash is the society we currently live in.

In total ignorance, we dont care if there is a whore on the streets, or a fat over feeding himself, or a lazy man not going to make a change in his life, ignoring the facts. Thats what he hates, he hates that ppl lie, hide the truth just bcz they wanna live an easy life, how basically we are living on drugs but IRL.

So he wanted to change that, and the more brutal the death, the more wrath he put in it.

For example, to me, sloth is the worst death EVER. On the contrary to the others, sloth was kidnapped, tortured, Hurt for weeks, he had an unimaginable amount of pain each instance he was living, yet he did not do anything.

This shows how ignorant we all are, how we are trying to think we are evolving when we are just stuck in this pain that we can at least ignore unlike sloth.

Gluttony ? Same thing, he IGNORED the fact that he was eating too much. Greed ? Pride ? Lust ? All of them.

They are just a form of ignorance, and envy ? Well, he was the opposite, that knowledge drove him crazy, drove him into a lunatic, and when he saw the good old handsome blonde guy detective mills with a beautiful wife.

Well, it was the thing that made mills his masterpiece,his way to express what he felt towards mills, the ENVY of having a totally normal ignorant life, so in a way, he actually did what he intended too, a long, 60 years at least of torment, of hate for Mills while him ? He is just sulking, in hell, in heaven, in nothingness ? We dont know. But what we DO know is, he is proud of it.

Of his masterpiece.

Its been on my mind for quite a few days. And I think if an anime ever comes out, they need to create this.

Because a magician is technically a gambler. His whole goal is to deceive you and force you into assimptions. Which is the opposite of a gambler (assumptions corrupt the quality of strategies and you might get surprised/deceived).

But a magician is also a gambler because of how they try to create an almost 100% chance of achieving their trick to please the audience. They are doing a gamble against their lives itself sometimes. Like the fameuse trick inside a water tank. If the plan isnt well thought out the person could just die.

If there were a 1v1 gamble between a magician and Baku.

Something like who creates the most complicated trick for the audience or referee (then the audience needs to find the solution).

Here is how I think it could be possible.

Probably cooperate with sako. But then bring a game theorist or any specialist regarding these types of game design to create an original and cohérent with the manga plot.

Of course it would require to create a very detailed paper of Baku's ultimate plan and how this game could change the moving pieces.

Its just dry asf. I guess the game got way too complicated for anyone to try and outwit yokoya or aki. Even though it was fun having multiple people giving their own theories/analysis of the game and their diffeeent stratgues.
