Liar Game Episode 15 Discussion

Would have liked to seen Fukunaga Knock all 3 of those pigs out at the end there

Can a team take the money from one ATM to another?
If that's possible, then Team Day has won, hasn't it?

In that case, all the money would be transferred back on the last day.

Next time I see Tsuchiya Kei as a character designer for a show I'm going to instantly drop it. This should be classified as a korean animation (aeni?).
Also Nao looks like a frog on the poster.

Why does this show keep being produced? There are no likable characters except Akiyama. It drags on way too long for the 20 minutes to feel worthwhile.

When human greedy isn't over...

Ah, so Nao isn't the only absolutely brain dead character, that's good to see.
I'm being harsh on her, she has improved, but it seems to come at the cost of everyone else's intelligence.

How could those three not see such an obvious trap? And just walk straight into it?
Jesus Christ. I would have done worse than Fukunaga ngl.

The characters are completely unbelievable and brain-dead. I was trying to give this a chance, but I'm this close to dropping it.
Can manga readers, without spoiling, let me know if it gets better at all? I want to know before I continue wasting my time on this hot garbage.

If only we got to hear the backstory behind the teddy bear (i.e. the actual protagonist) too. Whoever in Night who's had a chance to listen to Nao's yapping got a decent break from Yokoya's tyranny at least lol.

That was a solid kick from Fukunaga though, damn.

Bet. Thanks for the heads up.

If this is meant to be the peak, I don't really have much hope for the rest.

Also, they aren't really acting realistically tbh, how does anyone fall for such a trap? Even with that money on the line.

I may have understood if it was their first rodeo, but it's not. By now they should know.

It's all g, clearly this show just isn't for me.

Enjoy the rest! :)

@Chipp12 Truth. I can’t get past the time Nao wore a light pink top with an olive green dress. Why even would you.

@AnimeKero If im not mistaken, I think a team can only take the money in the opposite country ATM only

@Rixuel
It doesn't matter much because of the game design.

As seen with Rat scheme, you bribe people by bringing them suitcases full of money they declare doubt 100m and take it. It's one extra thing if you need to bribe big you need more rounds and mix some rounds so it becomes less obvious. But it still can be done at the current stage.

So Night team went with the risk when they smuggled everything to Day team: they lose the cash funds to bribe Day further no matter what happens from now on. But as we both know it's not a problem cause bribing is the rule of greed, while you still have the rule of fear left, huehuehue

As much as I hate those three, I actually kind of understand why they decided to do that. First, they were already terrified just from hearing Yokoya's name. Second, they were desperate to win the money. Third, the other team's acting was really convincing, especially since their (fake) mission aligned with the Day Team's goal, which was to take down the Night Team. On top of that, they kept bringing up "wanting to take down Yokoya," which fooled those spineless members. So yeah, I was so satisfied when Fukunaga flew into a rage. Seriously, I think Akiyama's biggest weakness is having teammates who are cowardly yet greedy and stupid. I honestly feel bad for him. He keeps thinking of different strategies and trying every tactics he can so the Day Team can get ahead of the Night Team, while the others can't even manage to move in a straight line. At first they acted like cowards with the empty briefcase decision, and now they're adding even more burden by putting such a huge amount of money in the ATM.

Besides, it doesn't even make sense. The long-haired guy literally said, "Our boss is amazing. He already has a foolproof plan to win, so sorry, but your team is going to lose," and then he goes and reveals their plan? Haaaa.

But now that I think about it, it's actually pretty scary. Whether they realized it or not, it wasn't just the Night Team that was under Yokoya's control, but the Day Team as well, because they were fooled and fell right into his trap. Well, except for Akiyama, Nao, and Fukunaga, of course. I can't really say the same about the other members, but there's a good chance they would've been fooled too if they'd been in that situation.

Either way, all of this just makes it even more exciting. That scene at the end where Yokoya and Akiyama stared at each other through the glass was cool. I really really can't wait to see Akiyama (and Nao, and Fukunaga... and the Day Team) turn everything around. Seeing that shocked, caught-off-guard look on Yokoya's face again would be so satisfying haha.

But seriously, they realized how to use that card way too late... :( If only they had figured it out from the beginning, especially since they kept using the empty briefcase strategy at the start... ahhh, it's so frustrating!!

@hanakocheeks It's not greedy or stupid.

The money goes into the night account. NOT the 3rd account. The money ain't going to them. There is no greed.
It's not stupidity either, cuz that implies they got tricked.
But they didn't. They just got brainwashed to help opponents with their scheme to ragebait Yokoya for.....no gain for themselves.

It's like everyone forgot the rules all of a sudden.

Reason: Bad writing? Writer is high? Yokoya has psychic brainwashing powers?
