The chapter focused more on absolute neutrality, but I really hope to see Runa's past—before she joined the student council—and her gambling skills. Please, Homura, don't let us down.

So I'm pretty sure it was deleted but I still have hope I'm just somehow missing it.

It was a kirasaya fanfic on ao3 and it also was midari & sayaka.

I think MidaSaya got drunk and Midari recorded her singing and due to some mistake the council ended up seeing it.

Nanami Tsubomi is probably one of the most tragic characters that I've seen so far in the Kakegurui series. Although she wasn't the only victim of the housepet system, I think she was the one who suffered the worst mistreatments that a housepet could ever have, especially by that brute of Jun Kiwatari. From becoming Kiwatari's personal mascot against her will, with Kiwatari cutting her beloved long and beautiful hair just for his own sick pleasure, to being constantly abused both psychologically and even physically by Kiwatari also.

Man, Kiwatari was really a disgusting, sadistic and evil bully. Like if he wasn't enough to behave like your typical narcissist sports athlete bully, taking advantage of the weakest ones, like he did with Suzui when he became a mascot in the beginning of the story, he also likes to abuse girls in that awful way too. Although, Yumeko saved Tsubomi in a way, by deceiving Kiwatari (with the help of Saotome), turning him into a housepet now and bringing some justice for Tsubomi. I still can't help feeling quite upset towards Kiwatari for what he did to her. If I was an actual Kakegurui character and with a similar strength like Kiwatari, I would have liked to give that piece of sh1t a lesson by giving him a good taste of some of his own medicine against him, like he did to Tsubomi.

Kirari is the student council president. Why can't anyone defy a girl? Why does everyone pretty much do as she says? Let's say someone is not a housepet. If she tells them to do something, can't they say they don't want to? Or is this because she (and by extension the student council) have connections so big they can ruin that person's life if Kirari is disobeyed in any way?

I believe I might have answered my own question though lol, but what do you actually think? I'm assuming I'm not the only one who has thought about this.

In Boy who cried Wolf, how did the dealer know that Rin swapped out the cards? Rin initially also drew 3 villagers right? That would mean she could somehow differentiate between 2 identical villager cards.

Just to recap a little. Jun Kiwatari was the tough and massive guy who tried to strip and r@pe Yumeko when she became a mascot. The one who used Tsubomi as his personal mascot and the same one who just lost against Yumeko and Saotome in the debt exchange gambling game, turning himself into a mascot. He also bullied Suzui when he became a mascot in the very beginning of the story, shown only in the manga and in the first live-action adaptation.

Hi guys! I'm not sure if it's common to talk about other anime here, and if it isn't, I apologize. But I'd like to share a perspective I've had for quite some time.

I've always found it interesting how Kirari and Sayaka's dynamic reminds me of DIO and Pucci's. In both cases, there's an almost absolute sense of devotion, Sayaka toward Kirari and Pucci toward DIO. The nature of that devotion is different, though Pucci follows DIO's philosophy with an almost messianic level of faith, while Sayaka is deeply and genuinely in love with Kirari. Even so, I can't help but see some similarities between Pucci and Sayaka in the way they dedicate themselves to the person they admire.

Jun Kiwatari in both the manga and in the anime looks like a very massive, strong and intimidating student to come across. Resembling the archetype of a high school/college most popular student, but being just a narcissist sports athlete who likes to bully the weakest and most unpopular students, mostly nerds. Similar to other fictional characters like Flash Thompson from the Spider Man franchise, or Johnny Worthington from Monsters University/Monsters At Work, just to name a few.

However, unlike other school athlete bullies from any kind of franchise, one thing that I found interesting about Kiwatari is that he uses the gambling system from the school to take his bully tendencies into the next level. With the mascot system, Kiwatari basically took Tsubomi as his personal mascot, like an actual savage predator against its prey, doing horrible things to her. With the most well known being when he cut Tsubomi's beloved long hair into pieces, just for his sick pleasure of it.

Later when Yumeko became a mascot, Kiwatari took that as an opportunity to force a beautiful girl like Yumeko to do whatever he wanted. Ordering her some perverted stuff like stripping herself in the middle of the school yard to see her naked. But Yumeko played with Kiwatari and she had the guts to reject doing his sexual desires, while provoking him if he was actually planning to r@pe her. This angered Kiwatari enough to crush Yumeko against the wall while grabbing her from the neck. If it wasn't for Midari and her odd behaviour towards Kiwatari and his gang, things would have turned much worse. The first thing that comes to my mind is Suzui actually confronting Kiwatari in an actual fight to try to save Yumeko. Considering how much Suzui worries and cares for Yumeko, especially after she saved him from the mascot status, while knowing also that the mascot system can be way worse for female students, he will definitely try to fight against Kiwatari, even if he has NO CHANCES to defeat him and his gang in a fight, just to protect Yumeko.

But in most western cartoons and live-actions series, male bullies usually don't bully girls, especially physically. Yes, there are some rare occasions where male bullies can say some nasty comments against girls that they are bullying, but the physical fights are normally exclusive between their respective genders ("guy vs guy" and "girl vs girl"). But those restrictions don't seem to apply to Kiwatari in this case. Meaning that he doesn't care if hitting a girl is morally wrong, even for a bully. If someone dares to anger him and provoke him enough, he will definitely kick the crap out of them, no matter if they are guys or girls who he is fighting against physically. Just look how he constantly threatened the poor Tsubomi both psychologically AND physically also, when they were playing with Yumeko and Saotome. Without mentioning that after his defeat, he almost punched Saotome in the face with a lot of rage on him, looking like a reckless and violent brute, if it wasn't for Sayaka with her taser. This makes Kiwatari one of the most evil, dangerous and threatening bullies from the archetype of a sports athlete with a lot of muscle and strength that I've seen so far.

However, I cannot say the same thing to his counterpart from the first live-action series of Kakegurui. Unlike the rest of the cast members who portray all the characters shown in Season 1 from the anime adaption, the actor that they chose to portray Kiwatari, he looked absolutely nothing like his anime/manga version. He didn't have his size, nor his muscle complexity, nor his hairstyle and he also wore sunglasses, looking like a completely different character. If it wasn't from the student descriptions shown in the live-action adaptation, you really cannot say that he is the same Kiwatari from the anime/manga. While the rest of the cast you can clearly identify them without the student descriptions, including Saotome, who despite that she doesn't have her blonde hair like in the anime/manga, you can also tell that she is Saotome. By her hairstyle, her personality and also by the type of socks that she wears, but not with the case of Kiwatari.

His personality is also very different. He doesn't behave nor look like a threatening and intimidating brute who would rip you apart or r@pe you violently, but more like an annoying buffoon who likes to mock others through childish pranks. Like when he was mocking Suzui with a yen bill after he became a mascot. I don't remember if in the manga Suzui was bullied by Kiwatari in that infantile way when he was a mascot very early in the story, but I would imagine Kiwatari using Suzui as his personal punching bag instead, or taking the few money that he had with him through intimidation and brute force. However, when he put Tsubomi over a "rocket skateboard" and made her crash at a high speed, that's something that I can actually imagine Kiwatari doing in the anime/manga. But when he orders Yumeko to strip herself in the live-action adaptation, the scene doesn't feel so intense and threatening like in the manga or in the anime. His threats towards Yumeko for disobeying him doesn't feel so intimidating or scary either. If live-action Suzui instead of deceiving Kiwatari and his gang that a member of the student council was coming close by, he would have decided to confront Kiwatari in a fight with fists, I can actually find more chances for Suzui to actually defeat Kiwatari and his gang in the live-action version. I mean common, even in the live-action intro they made Suzui look like an over-the-top fighter or something like that.

As I said in the title, I can understand that it would have been very difficult for the production team to find a young actor with the same size and muscle complexity as Kiwatari in real life. But still, I can't help that his live-action version suffered the "Flash's syndrome" from Tom Holland's Spider Man. And for people wondering: What do I mean by "Flash's syndrome" from Tom Holland's Spider Man? Well, for the Kakegurui fans who are very familiar with the Spider Man franchise, I'm pretty sure that you know who's Flash exactly. He's a popular sports athlete school student and the main bully of the protagonist Peter Parker, while having at the same time a fanatical admiration towards Spider Man in the comics of the homonym super hero. He also received plenty of adaptations in cartoon series and live-action movies, with most of them being pretty accurate to his character from the comics. Except in the live-action movie adaptations protagonized by Tom Holland. Unlike the previous iterations of Spider Man from the movie media, the actor who portrayed Flash (Tony Revolori) didn't look nor behave like the Flash from the comics. He didn't look tough nor aggressive, nor did he have the archetype of a popular sports athlete student. But more like a buffoon and an opportunistic bully who only makes infantile mocks towards Peter Parker while taking advantage of multiple events through the series. That's what I meant when I said that Kiwatari in the first live-action of Kakegurui suffered the "Flash's syndrome" from Tom Holland's Spider Man.

However, I don't have anything against Tony Revolori as an actor. I think he did a decent job in the acting perspective, but I just don't think that he fitted the role to portray the Flash Thompson that we know from the comics. The same case with the actor who portrayed Jun Kiwatari. He did his best to give life to that fictional character, but once again, he just didn't fit the role to look faithful to the anime/manga version of Kiwatari. But what do you think about it?

We'll follow this order: Yuriko, Midari Ikishima, Yumemi Yumemite, Kaede Manyuda, and Sayaka Igarashi

I used to lean more on season 3. But a remake or a reboot of the anime is more likely, so I think I’d rather have that.

Who would win?

I did this for a anime night and a cosplay contest. Hope you like it.

who is better overall?

Ciao a tutti oggi è il mio compleanno, e volevo condividere con voi il mio biglietto di compleanno.

Sotto c'è scritto che mi arriverà il cosplay di Yumeko Jabami.🤩

Qual'è il vostro personaggio preferito di Kakegurui?

guys i loved it so much!! this arc was incredible🫠
Ririka finally being her own person and the realisation that Kirari made this all mess just so that her sister could achieve her independence
Sayaka doing all that mess with buying votes and Ririka finding it… funny
and then Yumeko’s final move…
idk i think this all was really peak and i’m so upset most people only know the anime and probably will never aknowledge this arc
it would be such an epic ending for the anime

what would yumeko see in the infinite tsukuyomi?… would it be an endless world where she gets to gamble as much as she wants with millions of different scenarios I think she would see this but what’s your opinion

Kirari or Yumeko?
