----------------------------------------
Well, Saotome hasn't lost her touch this season. Not that I'm surprised but she still maintains her badass attitude even against the more dangerous characters in the show.

The mind games and gambling still has its high stakes as usual. That Miri girl is a strange one..

Lmao, when Saotome said that she will become a president, I was laughing so hard. She doesn’t even have a potential and her character is very dull compare to others (I still like her tho)

Pretty ok episode.

The Nim game finishes with Saotome and Suzui winning the match and saving Yumeko. They definitely have more intense challenges waiting for them, especially Saotome given her declaration of becoming the next main prez.

I kind of wonder if Suzui and Rei can actually become good friends tbh.

very much looking forward to the next ep.

Yumeko is safe thanks to Mary and Suzui
Miri and Miyo were sisters, but due to the problems of the family they were separated and their secret code became their bond of sisters.
It was very low to Miyo to try to put Suzui against Mary, I know they both have a difficult story, but both have a common goal, save Yumeko and split their butts with an overwhelming defeat. In the end Mary and Suzui win the second round and get 3 antidotes, but Suzui can not use one to save Yumeko, since Runa will not let him use it until the gamble ends.
I loved Mary's cold attitude, completely humiliated Miri and Miyo, her explanation of Runa's method of dealing was interesting and she finish with her humiliating laugh.
Never dare to doubt Runa as a dealer, she proved to be neutral, but the players must also do their part.
It was satisfying to see how Miri and Miyo lost with their own rules, the little Miri was already under the effects of the poison and she had to take a second dose thanks to her cruel sister Miyo, the only thing I hope is that Miyo pay for what she did and lose another gamble.
Tsundere Mary is back, I love when she blushes.
Mary makes it clear to the unconscious Yumeko that she will beat her and will be the new president of the student council.
Then we saw several of the most promising gamblers and members of the Momobami family in different gambles.
The meeting between Suzui and Rei, gives me some clues about the true nature of this boy / girl (his voice makes me doubt if he is male or female), his reaction when Suzui told him that he was kind in comparison to his sick and perverse relatives , It called my attention.
The next episode seems that there will be more risky gambles, but more importantly, Yumeko returns to the game.

Well, It wasn't as tense as I thought this episode would be but Mary absolutely made it way more enjoyable to watch. I can't help it, I just love her attitude.

And regarding Mary's last statement, honestly, I would like her to become the new student council president, I mean, so far, she seems to be the more reasonable person in that damn academy...

All in all, it was an entertaining episode but now, I'm looking forward to seeing what new challenges Yumeko and co. will have to face. Besides, Rei has been an enigma so far so I'm really curious about him and his intentions, I hope he receives more development in the next episode.

"She could throw a two down, but she will put down a three." Now what makes you assume that she will put down a three even though you don't know that she may have a two in possession? Suzui revealing his cards really threw them off...

Hey, nothing was wrong with the shuffle. The only reason why Mary knows about the card order is because of Suzui showing his cards and revealing the pattern to Mary. If that never happened, then Mary wouldn't have deducted about the way the cards were being shuffled. This is all on the Bamis for underestimating her. Glad to see that Runa understands that everyone should be on equal terms when it comes to a gamble.

Well she has all the antidotes, so whatever. It was pretty obvious that Miri would lose so that only she would have to take an antidote...

Wait...you show all of these characters, but not a single glimpse of Midari? Is it because of the previous gamble that she's out of the running? Boo! Well we got a glimpse of her in the preview, but it might just be for a short while...

I'm taking a guess that Rei is playing Poker Face with everyone and that he'll be the toughest gambler around...

I think Mary is best suited to be the next president. All Yumeko wants to do is gamble, so being a leader wouldn't be her thing. And Suzui is too weak minded to be president, so that leaves Mary. But we'll see...

Well done by Saotome to realize what was going on, I had no idea as I don't know much about gambling, it's not something I do but her knowledge was the reason they won it all.

I was kinda half hoping that Miri would go into business for herself and put down the Zero but I do like that ending because now the grudge/revenge match will have so much spice added to it.

Nice to finally see the president gambling, I hope we get to see a full gamble between her and those family members next time or enough of one.

Batsubami is such a likeable character, I hope she is freed from the debt and the family once this is all over.

Ah good so Mary does wish to become president after all, a very exciting development.

Those -bami sisters might be connected at each other and good at gambling but they badly lose on strategy due to they dont observe just like saotome did. Hahaha...

In the end the elder -bami instructed her younger sister -bami to lose the game to save herself. Hahaha...

And saotome as next president. I dont expect that she will be saying that one. Hahaha..

Next episode sure will be an exciting one..

For those who have read the manga, is Mary half Japanese half white or having white ancestry since she has English name "Mary" in her name?
It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.

Hmm two people whose strong bond is formed from their shared love of games and gambling huh. Still their ability to communicate via games sure was intriguing. If anything the dire straits that Yumeko is in only made this game that much more tense. The third round was especially so. The fact that the dealer was pulling strings from the beginning was quite unexpected. Though its nice that Mary's gamble paid off that game sure ended quite unexpectedly. Elsewhere it looks like the various battles to gain votes is getting ever fiercer. If anything the one enigma within the family is Rei. He's way too kind to be part of that group. Looks like Mary's ambition has finally revealed itself.

No wonder Mary was so over confident at the table, bitch knew she was cheating. But at least it's thanks to her that Yumeko got saved, I guess betting on her was the right choice. I felt sorry for the young girl though, especially when the poison was sinking lower on her.

right, this a bad take fam how you gonna mention Mary as a dull character when the "MC" Suzui is the dullest of all lol ,sure she isn't nearly as crazy as the rest of the cast but shes the most level headed so being prez sounds not so far fetched.


good episode Rei is anime original came as a surprise since he?(still not sure since he has a very androgynous look to him ) has been the most interesting new character so far

Saotome Mary becoming the Student Council President? I think that would be quite ideal, rather than Yumeko becoming the president. It was a pretty ok episode.

Another boring episode. Atleast Saotome got the spotlight this episode for a change so that was nice, but the gamble itself was not complex nor thrilling by any means.

Damn, Saotome wrecked those two sisters like a boss! Good episode, although it was slightly on the slower side!

Phew, I never thought she’d be this observant and similarly I didn’t expect those two sisters to be so oblivious to such open clear tricks. Even the insane communication skills between the two sisters did not work against Mary, damn! Extreme facial expressions throughout obviously, but it was mostly the Dealer’s part that was a bit intimidating of sorts I suppose. Got to say though, the elder sister telling her younger sister to sacrifice herself for her just because she is the more ‘talented’ among the two was really selfish of her but can’t say I didn’t see that coming. Jeez, the younger one was already considering it beforehand and that just makes it even more infuriating. Meanwhile, it seems as though the Momobami family are dominating and so is the President. Looks like the President’s gotten an interesting opponent though, looking forward to seeing how that goes! Mary revealing that she is up for the President seat was interesting, even more so since she’s really taken a disliking towards gamblers and perhaps gambling in general(unless I’m taking this the wrong way). Lol, didn’t think she’d nervous around Suzui though, where’d that come from lol?

Well we finally got some inner monologue during a gamble. That's nice, except it was for the bad guys, and it had very little to do with strategy but rather mostly just generic clueless villain talk so it doesn't really change much

I still want to believe this anime can do something properly one day with all the potential it ought to have but it just keeps failing to hit the mark

The manga never answers that. Also, "Mary" is spelled completely in Kanji rather than in katakana, which is what is usually used for foreign names.

Mind-reading?! I was gonna call foul until Mari called out the Gilbreath. I don't think she REALLY could've figured it out just by watching like that, but I suppose if she guessed and then confirmed by looking at Suzui's hand that makes sense.

It was so satisfying to watch those 2 get desperate xD
Mary is so cuteeeeee omg
She did a good job.

It was a great game tho, i think this is probably the first serious game of Suzui xD
So Mary wants to the president but i doubt that Yumeko ever cared about that position xD

Strange, for some reason I was already under the assumption that there would be only 4 of each card type in one dealing and I kept thinking to myself whenever the sisters thought Mary was getting lucky that it was just calculated play. xD

Anyway, it was pretty satisfying to see Mary take them both down and I'm all up for her being the next president.

The current president's game should be interesting.

Great episode! Don't know what others are saying Mary is dull, considering she became one of the smartest and most adaptful character throughout the story. Compare Mary during the first season Ep 1, where she lost badly to Jabami. To where she is right now, coming up with strategies and instantly recognizing any fault in each game. The early Mary would not have noticed the Gilbreath Shuffle. This is where she really shines all throughout the story

The story now kinda stagnates. We not know Mary wants to become President, Jabami wants to gamble the president and maybe to personal reasons, Kirari just wants to have fun. Other than that, the manga doesn't really move that far and it's just gambling fights all throughout.

Also, this is probably one of the only times where an Anime original character actually enhances the story. Really wish Rei made it in the Manga. I mean, technically the author can introduce him very late anyways.

Can't wait for the next one!

Whoa, Miyo Ibami and Miri Yobami got owned, hahahahaha, I guess Miyo should have poisoned Runa in the 1st place........Now with Mary's new found confidence, she now sets her eye of being the next Student Council president, but I don't think Terano Totobami is gonna make it easy for her, especially when she gonna be up against them "Bami's and let's not forget the other student councils member's as well .


Ok, here a question that I wanna ask:

There is

Yumeko Jambami
The Momobami's ririka and kirari
Rei Butsubami
The Totobami's Terano and Yumi
Erimi Mushibami
Miyo Ibami
Miri Yobami
Sumika Warakubami
Nozomi Komabami
Mirosalva Honebami
The Obami's Ibara and rin

So if they're related the why do they have different surnames, where the only thing they have in common is the prefix "Bami" in the end?????
Let's not forget that Miri and Miyo were sisters and yet they don't have the same surnames.
