I really want to be like souichi kiruma 😭🙏. What do u think is the best thing i can do to at least attempt to get close to him in terms of everything personality character and intelligence . His intelligence is most appealing to me
Watched Kaiji and read Liar Game up to around chapter 150. I hope to experience the same peak as those two, if not better!
we need more agenda posts on this sub for glazing the series
I’ve revisited the arc spanning from Protoporos to STL. To be honest, the way Sako killed Kyara was a truly fitting end for "the strongest character in the series." Dying in a clash between titans—I mean, the "Busan Grim Reaper" versus the "Former Referee No. 0" was absolutely insane. Not to mention the ripple effects of Kyara’s death: it plunged Baku into shock and depression throughout the Nightmare Protoporos arc, yet also served as the catalyst that snapped him out of it during Air Poker. It laid the groundwork for Hal to realize he was losing his memory, as he sensed Manabe was hiding something from him. And perhaps most importantly, there was the respect the Kakerou referees held for Kyara; figures like Ikon and Manabe—and even the cantankerous old Nowa Mitoshi—took a moment to honor his memory, whether directly or indirectly. Finally, one certainly cannot overlook how both Kadokura and Yakou wanted Kyara—as the former Referee No. 0—to witness their final showdown, paving the way for the victor to join Baku in the STL and vie for the leadership of Kakerou. This truly defines "The Strongest" from start to finish—everything was absolutely perfect.
This is a serious question
Shion Nowa took his wife's, Mirei's, last name instead of vice versa which would be more common in Japan.
This actually follows a cultural tradition in Japan called "Mukoyōshi", where if a prestigious family doesn't have a son who can take over the family name, the family will adopt a capable outside man who will marry the daughter of the family.

Personally, as a western reader, this went entirely over my head and I had never heard of it before, but it makes a lot of sense considering how strong the average Nowa family member is, I wish Mirei stepped on me, and this also implies that Mirei was an only child/ only had sisters.
In general, I wish we saw more of the other Nowa's outside of Mitoshi, my hope is that in the future Toshio will write some more spinoff short stories in the styles of the Yakou special, more specifically I wish we could see Mirei, Taka, Fukurou and Mitora host a Kakerou match.
Will he make the same bet with the guy and have Kaji attempt the fly the plane over the establishment and make it last minute while risking his life? This is a genuine question. Nice series that I've been putting off for a while.
In chapter 206, in Fukurou's match against Suteguma, he mentions Usogui avoiding playing poker with him.
This is in DIRECT reference, to how Usogui called Fukurou out to the Anthill building, but HAL played the game instead, which we only got to see much later in the series.
Every single time, I'm astounded by how far ahead Toshio planned this series, every single little detail is so well foreshadowed.
Bravo Toshio
(big circle and arrow so you know what I'm talking about)
Theyre genuinely so good but who's the artist, my shi twitched a lil
Craig breaks the wall and Kyara doesnt so Craig>Kyara
