Kakegurui (2017) s01e03 Episode Script
Slit-Eyed Woman
1 This way, madam.
Oh, my.
Yumeko Jabami? Why? No, I need to concentrate.
Oh, my.
Don't look so upset.
Let's enjoy our gambling.
Damn it.
All have to do is guess the right numbers.
Skill has nothing to do with it.
Why are the results so tilted in her favor? If I'm not on one hell of an unlucky streak, the only possibility is she's cheating.
I don't know how, but she's probably slowly setting something up.
Which means Thirty-two chips.
I'm betting my whole stack! Oh, my.
Going on the offensive, huh? Very well.
Both players are ready.
Ten swords.
Beginning.
Lay your bets! Ten, nine, eight - She fell for it.
All I have to do - seven, six, five, four, three, two I see.
I've bet on five spots, six chips apiece.
I'll end the game so she won't have a chance to cheat.
Time's up.
Bets are laid.
Here we go.
Two, four, eight, 16, 22.
I just need one, please.
Revealing the board.
Twenty-two.
Mary got it right! Oh, my.
You picked the right spot.
But the judgment is death.
Too bad.
What? The judgment? Didn't Mary win? Twenty-two.
Since the blade is embedded in the board, the judgment is death.
Saotome bet six chips.
She loses 30 times that.
One hundred eighty chips, or 18 million yen.
Adding in Yuriko's chips, she loses with a total of minus 49.
6 million chips.
Good game, Mary.
I'll tell you later how I intend to collect.
Someone take her outside.
I'm done with her.
- You're bothering the other customers.
- Don't touch me! I could've paid the money if I wanted to.
But I couldn't get the position I lost back.
I never should've played this game.
I should've never dreamed of taking back my old position.
No, more than that, it was a mistake to ever get involved with Yumeko Jabami.
Mary was in bad enough shape that she challenged her to a formal match? Ryota, what's a formal match? Right.
A formal match is the one right given to a house pet.
A pet has the right to challenge anyone to a match once.
If the betting amount is reasonable, you're not allowed to refuse.
It's traditional for members of the student council to accept them with no upper betting limit.
Sometimes, the house pets will challenge them for one big game.
And Mary just did that? That's right.
SLIT-EYED WOMAN Yumeko Jabami, right? Welcome to the Traditional Culture Research Club.
I'm a member of the student council, as well as the president of the club.
My name is Yuriko Nishinotoin.
Hello.
What brings you here? I guess I don't need to ask, do I? Why not play a game with me? It's an original gambling game my club came up with, Life or Death.
That sounds like lots of fun! I'd love to.
Life or Death.
First, ten small sword pieces are put into a pot.
There are 30 spots on the board with numbers.
You bet your chips where you think the swords will fall.
It's very similar to roulette or Japanese Cho-Han gambling.
You try to guess the right number.
But what makes Life or Death interesting is that if the sword comes up blade-first, it's life, and the return is multiplied by 30.
If it lands hilt-first, it's death, and the result is minus 30.
In other words, you pay your opponent 30 times the amount.
There are rules for betting.
Each round both players decide how many chips they're going to bet.
The judge shakes the pot for ten seconds.
Meanwhile, you put chips on the board.
And when one person runs out of chips, the difference between both sides becomes the amount won.
Let's decide on the amount to bet.
It would be boring to bet too little.
Okay, let's do 40 million yen.
Very well.
So, Yumeko, what chips shall we bet first? Let's see.
I guess I'll start by getting a feel for it.
Ten chips.
Very well.
Both players are ready.
Ten swords.
Beginning.
Lay your bets! Ten, nine, eight, seven - six, five, four, three, two - I've decided.
one, zero.
Time's up.
Bets are laid.
You seemed to be thinking until the last second.
Do you have some plan? Yes.
That pot is slightly wider at the top than the bottom.
It's more likely that the swords will land on the small numbers in the center.
Whether I get life or death, if I don't get the number right, it's boring.
I'm not a very patient girl.
I pray that does not come back to haunt you.
Here we go.
Revealing the board.
Seventeen, life.
Thirty, death.
Yumeko didn't get one right.
Nishinotoin got That was close.
She was one off.
Every chip on life is 30 million yen.
Since both players won nothing, no chips will change hands.
How close.
Let's move on to the next round.
Yumeko, I can't watch this.
You can't gamble with this stupid amount of money.
Ryota, you don't need to worry.
This tiny amount of money is meaningless to me.
And the speed at which chips change hands is what makes this game interesting.
It would be a waste to stop now.
- Ryota, was it? - Yes.
The feeling of unimaginable amounts of money moving around with a single shake of a pot If you tasted it once, you'd understand.
Right, Yumeko? Yes.
I can see myself getting addicted.
But, Nishinotoin, the way you're playing is terrible.
I'm sorry, what was that? Did you not hear me? I said you're terrible.
That official match with Mary You're the one who suggested this game, right? I think Mary challenged you to restore her honor, but if that's all she wanted, she didn't need to play a game with such huge potential losses.
Giving someone in a bad spot hope, then sending them into deeper despair It's the same as being sleazy loan broker.
I don't know how good a gambler you are, but you're the worst kind of human being.
- You're a piece of shit, aren't you? - How rude! Yuriko, let's kick her out! What's wrong, Kumagusu? We're just bantering a little.
- Of course.
- It's a shame, though.
I was sure I'd see two, four, and ten.
But it didn't work that way.
Two, four, ten? I love word games.
In Japanese, the name Nishinotoin can be read "2410in.
" Are you not superstitious? Would you not play games with my name? Nishinotoin is a name stretching back to the earliest days of Japan.
If you count them as even numbers, the six and eight in the middle are missing.
There's an empty space between them.
An empty space just like the empty space in your head.
That's hilarious! Right, Ryota? Would you knock it off? Interesting.
Just like what the student council president said, you really are interesting.
When you compliment me, it makes me feel all tingly.
Let's continue.
How much will you bet? All I have left.
40 chips.
You've got quite a bit of resolve, huh? Kumagusu? Both players are ready.
Ten swords.
Beginning! Lay your bets! Ten It wouldn't be good for my mental state to just win normally, would it? Stress is the enemy of beauty.
Life or death.
I'll kill you, literally.
Five chips on eight spots.
If she wanted to take Yumeko down, there'd be no need to bet all five.
She's definitely crazy.
I knew provoking her was a mistake.
two, one, zer-- Nishinotoin, if you were offended by what I said, I apologize.
It was all lies I told to bring us to this point.
Please forgive me.
- Why? - Why? Because you're cheating.
Cheating? Yes.
Look at the judge's right hand.
You see what looks like moles, right? That's right.
I saw the same thing on the girl who brought us in here.
- What does that mean? - Those moles are artificial.
Piercings, I'm sure.
You're piercing your club members' hands just for the sake of this trick.
Nishinotoin, that's really wonderful.
I imagine every single sword has a magnet in it.
If you put a magnetic field on the piercings, you can fix the sword in a certain spot.
Then you just slide your hand along the pot like this, and you can send the sword wherever you like.
Wait.
You're telling me you provoked her to make sure she cheated this round? Wait.
I haven't gotten a single spot right since you came here.
Your friend only bet in the last game while the pot was being shaken.
There's no way I could've cheated! What makes this cheat so wonderful is that you can't win 100 percent of the time.
It takes a lot of control for the judge to send the sword to the right spot.
Another sword might block it.
Since you can only control one sword, the others are left to luck.
I'd imagine your actual win ratio isn't that high, is it? That's why Mary couldn't catch you.
The cheating isn't a sure thing.
But that was enough for you.
You're the president of the Traditional Culture Research Club and a member of the student council.
You've got plenty of money when you play.
You don't need to win every match.
You just need to win a little more than your opponents.
Over the course of hundreds of games, you can win stable earnings.
The core of this trick isn't the trick itself, it's how much money you have.
A few million yen is nothing to you.
But that's not a fair game.
I'm betting my entire fortune.
It's not fair.
Let's feel the same pain.
My bet is 40 chips.
If I get the life, your loss will be 2.
17 billion yen.
You may lose all that in a single round.
It's truly life or death, isn't it? Come on.
Let's get our gamble freak on! Come on, let's finish it! Open the pot! Nishinotoin! If I lose, I lose 2.
17 billion yen.
I can't afford to lose that much money.
I'd have to take all the funds in the club's pool.
But if I can't maintain that, I lose my seat on the student council.
The club can only exist because I'm on the council.
That's how I keep the girls from being house pets.
If I lose that, I lose everything.
I'm ruined.
I have to talk her down.
If I do it before she opens the pot Yumeko.
Excuse me.
President? Why? This looks fun.
It looks like you're betting a lot.
At times like this, trouble is likely to occur.
I'll be an observer.
There's no need for you to.
I can handle this myself.
Just shut up and play.
You're dead pale, Yuriko.
Are you okay? Nishinotoin.
Here we go.
Revealing the board.
Death on ten and life on seven! Seven.
I just bet there randomly.
No, more importantly, it didn't land on 24? Nishinotoin bet five chips on life, so she has 195 chips in total.
Jabami has minus 115 chips.
Yuriko wins with 310 million yen.
Impossible.
Yumeko lost? I didn't think you'd actually win.
Yuriko, you've got some good luck.
I'm impressed.
But, you, I'm disappointed in you.
You tried so hard and lost to a lucky punch.
Was it a badger? You got me there.
I couldn't say.
A badger was a trick once used in Japanese Cho-Han gambling.
First, you put a small hole in the floor.
The gambling's done on top of it.
Since a white cloth is put down, it's hard to see.
Japanese houses have space under the floors, right? The cheater hides under the floorboards.
He uses candlelight or something else to see through the floor and look at the dice.
And depending on what they are, pokes at them with a needle, changing them to something that benefits the house.
I bet the student council president used magnets to make someone do the same thing.
She used the magnets to knock the sword out of spot 24.
From the look on Nishinotoin's face, she wasn't told.
It was coincidence, pure luck, that she won.
But you can only do that if you have space under the floor, like a Japanese building.
You can just make a space above the room.
You just build the room to accommodate it.
No, perhaps the president put it in just for that game.
Don't tell me How wonderful that would be.
Normally, you wouldn't think of that.
Even if you did, you wouldn't actually do it.
Only a madwoman would.
This academy, no, the student council president, is beyond what I imagined.
I've decided.
I want to gamble with the student council president.
Mittens! BOTTOM-FEEDER 0001 MITTENS Jabami.
I heard you gambled with the student council yesterday.
Yes, but I lost.
Yeah, I heard that too.
And so, we Oh, you're all worried-- What are you talking about, house pet? We're here to laugh at you! Nobody's worried about you, Mittens.
Your loser cat genes might rub off on us.
I see.
So, female house pets are Mittens.
Loser cats.
Cats are cute, though, right? Meow, meow.
I'm a losing cat with a gambling addiction.
I lost to the student council, and now I have 300 million yen in debt.
How should I get it back, huh? I want to gamble more.
Would anybody like to be my patron? What's with her? - She's crazy.
- Let's go.
Yumeko.
What are you doing? They've got no sense of humor, huh? - Right, Ryota? - I get it.
I could get into this.
- Should I wear a tail? - Stop it.
Good morning, everyone.
Morning.
Yuriko's not here, is she? She couldn't show up after that failure.
But she won, though.
Good morning, Sayaka.
Good morning, Student Council President.
These are the plans for Yumeko Jabami and Mary Saotome.
LIFE PLANS - YUMEKO - We call it the Debt Swap Game.
- Shut up! - I heard you're Mittens now.
- The only choice here is to shoot! Call.
One Tsubomi chip.
This feeling, it's wonderful.
