Kakegurui (2017) s01e10 Episode Script
Selective Woman
1 Kirari, are you ready? Yes, let's go.
The heads of each family are gathered here today.
All right, shall we begin? MITTENS Let's have an official match! Hold Hold up a second! Yumeko-senpai! Weren't you saving your official match to take on the student council president? What? Did I ever say such a thing, even once? Oh, crap, she didn't! My scheme to make Yumeko the student council president I'm not really the patient type, you see.
Now, then, Manyuda let's get our gambling freak on! See? What did I tell you? It's all proceeding without a hitch.
That's precisely when you get the rug pulled out from under you.
Come on, now, Manyuda.
All right, got it.
I'll admit it.
Clearly, I miscalculated.
I underestimated this woman.
She was gambling for the sake of gambling, I see.
Yumeko Jabami is a compulsive gambler.
Meaning she isn't affected by the outcome.
She's addicted to the concept of gambling itself.
In that case, it's simple.
I'm going to factor even that into my calculations.
Fine by me.
I accept your challenge to an official match.
How did it come to this? The student council suffering two defeats while being live-streamed to the entire student body? That should never happen, no matter what.
On the other hand, Manyuda is most likely the person behind Yumemite's downfall.
If he wins, then a traitor like him will only gain more power.
And the student council that our president built up will disintegrate because of my incompetence.
What are you gonna do about the rules? You need to find a dealer.
I'll be happy to be your dealer.
What, the vice president? Fine by me.
Decide on the rules.
There's no time to elaborate.
You'll compete in an original game using playing cards.
It's called "Choice Poker.
" The rules are basically the same as those for poker.
You'll be dealt five cards, which you'll exchange one time only.
Best hand wins.
You'll be using a 53-card deck with one joker.
However, in this game, you can neither fold nor call.
Players will only be allowed to bet or raise.
You will compete by showing your hand in each round, but the person who bets more money will be given the right to choose.
Choose? What do we get to choose? Stronger? Or weaker? Who has the stronger hand or the weaker hand? In a normal poker game, needless to say, the stronger hand of cards wins.
But in this game, the person who gains the right to choose can pick whether the stronger hand or the weaker hand will win.
If you choose "stronger," just as in normal poker, the person with the better hand wins.
On the other hand, if you choose "weaker," the poker hand rankings are reversed, and the person with the weaker hand wins.
If you bet more, even a garbage hand can be elevated to the most powerful hand.
Seems tailor-made for our school, don't you think? That's the rules.
There's no limit to how much money you can bet.
- Let's see you go down to the wire.
- I see.
Even if you have a weak hand, you can win if you bet right.
The rules are simple.
The only thing that sets it apart is the rankings getting reversed.
What kind of rules are those? This isn't good.
To think they'd be so obvious Huh? About what? Don't you see it? No matter how you slice it, the rules put Yumeko at an overwhelming disadvantage.
- Her chances of winning are slim.
- Do either of you have any objections? - No.
- Fine by me.
All right.
Let's begin this game of Choice Poker.
The odds are against Yumeko? How so? In normal poker, the person with more money has the edge.
With more funds, you can put pressure on your opponent by raising.
If you intimidate your opponent into folding, you can win regardless of your hand.
Poker is known as the game where you make your opponent fold.
But in this game, you can compete even if you don't have the same amount of funds.
- But you lose the right to choose.
- That's the killer blow.
The player who gets to choose can always twist the rules to his or her own benefit.
Only one player gets a steady stream of strong hands in this game.
I'd never agree to play this game unless I was sure I had more money.
Even an idiot could see that.
But Yumeko has a ton of money on her, doesn't she? You really shouldn't underestimate the student council.
One chip will be worth ten million yen.
How many do you want? Since I have 310 million yen in cash, I'd like to request 31 chips.
Manyuda? Let's see, for starters I'll buy 100 chips.
- No way.
- A hundred? One billion? That's way too reckless.
The gap in funds is overwhelming.
I'm pretty sure Manyuda-senpai still has a lot to tap into.
Yumeko First, your participation fee.
Each of you will throw in one chip.
How do we determine which hand will win if we both get high card hands? Since one doesn't really try to get a weaker card If you both get high card hands, whoever has one more higher-ranking card wins.
If one hand features a king and other cards, and the other includes a ten and other cards, the king is stronger.
Oh, that's right.
Thank you very much.
What a phony.
Broadcasting your intent to go for a high card hand So cunning.
All right.
I'm going to exchange two cards.
Swap one for me.
Your hands are now established.
Let's move on to betting.
Jabami discarded a king and a jack.
If she's going for a weaker hand, it's only natural that she would discard her higher-ranking cards.
However you can't rule out the possibility that she has a three-of-a-kind.
Even if her hand is garbage, she might have an ace.
She's pretending to hope for a weaker hand to make me choose a stronger hand.
My hand's garbage.
It fell short of a straight.
What's Jabami gunning for stronger or weaker? I need more information for my calculations.
I'm going to test you.
- I'll bet ten chips.
- Ten? - One hundred million right off the bat? - Jabami, are you going to raise him? - I raise you ten chips for a total of 21.
- Yumeko has 31 chips in all.
If she loses, she'll be left with less than half.
Manyuda? Raise? No need for that.
Since she bet more, Jabami has the right to choose.
Stronger hand or weaker hand? Well, let me see Let's go with the stronger hand.
Stronger hand.
Now, then showdown! - High card.
- High card.
High card for both players.
Since she has an ace, Jabami is the winner.
All right! That gives her a little breathing room.
Now, let's move on to the next round.
Oh, my, what shall I do? It's so difficult when you're not familiar with the rules.
Now, I know what makes you tick.
Unlike regular poker, huge raises are pointless.
If you raise one more chip than your opponent, you earn the right to choose.
For that reason, we should be trading raises one chip at a time.
The only point of a huge raise is the intimidation factor, but it's pointless against an opponent with the financial means to raise you by one.
When all is said and done, you couldn't justify the risk for such a move.
But even so, Yumeko Jabami went with such a move because she's crazy.
Because this woman derives pleasure every time she takes a risk.
If I hadn't heard about her beforehand, I might've been deceived by her irrational behavior.
Now, I can factor in Jabami's eccentric conduct.
Thank you, Nishinotouin, Ikishima, Yumemite.
Thank you for serving as my launching pad.
As far as chips go, Yumeko has 42.
Manyuda has 89.
She's so close to turning the tables.
Yumeko is sure to win.
She's won so many gambles against bleak odds.
It's the same this time.
I'm sure she'll win by some method I'd never even think of.
Exchange cards? Hmm let's see.
All right, I'll exchange two.
- She's swapping a pair of tens? - What? - Why would she discard a pair? - I don't get it.
I can think of two possibilities.
One, she's going for a high card hand.
But that would give me the right to choose.
It would be suicidal to show me that she's trying for a weaker hand.
Two, she had two pairs in her first hand, or she was dealt a full house.
Pretending to go for a high card hand, she'll make me choose "stronger" and win with either the three-of-a-kind she has or one pair.
But the odds of her having been initially dealt two pairs is 4.
31 percent.
As for a full house, the odds would be 0.
23 percent.
Even if she did receive such a valuable hand, would she discard it? She'd stand a much better chance waiting and hoping I'd pick "stronger.
" In other words, Jabami's actions are unbelievable, because getting such a first hand is so unlikely and there'd be no point in bluffing.
If she were a normal opponent, me sitting at this table, gambling with Yumeko Jabami This situation would never happen.
I've heard about how she beat student council members with unexpected methods.
Because this woman is so unbelievable - Manyuda, what are you going to do? - I'm gonna get her.
You're exchanging five cards? No.
I'm not exchanging any.
- What? - Hey, you haven't chosen yet.
He's luring Yumeko into betting.
If Yumeko gets the right to choose now, she'll win.
If she takes the right to choose, she'll have bet a lot.
On the other hand, if Yumeko-senpai doesn't like her hand, she should just fold.
She can only compete with a good hand.
What the heck is Manyuda-senpai doing, anyway? Such a risky move he's making What a moron.
I like that.
Is this your way of throwing down a challenge? Showing such swagger leaves me no choice but to give as good as I'm getting, you know.
I'm going to bet 41 chips.
You're betting everything? Why is this happening? Just as I thought.
He's totally figured out Yumeko's personality.
I raise one chip.
- Jabami, your turn.
- I have nothing.
- Manyuda, make your choice.
- Stronger hand.
He answered right away.
I admit, even I'd go with the stronger hand.
Since Yumeko tossed her pair of tens, odds are that her hand is weak.
This is a classic, by-the-book move.
No, I'm going to put my faith in Yumeko.
If Yumeko loses, I'll be finished, too.
- The only option is to win.
- That's it for the betting phase.
Now Show down! It's garbage.
Too bad.
What? - Yumeko lost.
- Are you kidding me? Huh? Garbage? What the hell are you doing, Yumeko Jabami? The only way I could get back on the student council and take over the family business was if you won.
It's over.
It's all over for me.
I see.
So, you were going for a straight.
There's no way that would've happened.
I totally didn't see that coming.
But I did factor in the fact that this woman would make an unexpected move.
Anyone taking on Yumeko Jabami as a normal person is destined to lose.
"Since she's betting a whopping 410 million yen, she must have something up her sleeve.
" That's the thought that pulls the wool over their eyes.
But not me.
I always walk the high road.
From the start, this was a gamble stacked in my favor because I have money.
If I don't let her trick me and walk the high road, there's no way I can lose.
Yumeko Jabami, even you weren't a match for me.
This game is over.
And it's all over for you.
Jabami, you're out of chips.
Do you wish to continue playing? What? Sumeragi, do you mind? Me? How much can you offer? Sumeragi, what do you think? Well The other day, you said you wanted to be my friend.
You said you wanted me to become the student council President.
Friends help other friends in need, right? I've exhausted my funds, and I don't know what to do.
Can you help me out? Sumeragi, now that you've been abandoned by the student council president, have you aligned yourself with Jabami? Give it up.
I can still let you off the hook.
Or do you want to antagonize the student council? It'd be just like you to make such a move.
That's why I recommended you as a member of the student council.
Ambition.
The will to claw your way to the top, no matter what.
I discovered that in you.
Ambition is the foundation of effort and growth.
It's crucial for anyone who wants to be a leader.
And it's the thing you and I have in common.
To be honest, I felt something close to affinity towards you.
Manyuda-senpai However you didn't have the competence to realize your ambitions.
You were in over your head.
Competence equals results.
As a loser, it's something you lack.
Give it up.
You're not qualified to walk the high road.
I know.
I don't mind mediating to get you back on the student council.
If you realize what you're capable of, there should be a use for you.
Come on back, Sumeragi.
- I-- - Oh, my That's quite a choice of words.
You say that Sumeragi is incompetent? Who on earth ever decided such a thing? Even if that were true, why would that be a reason for her to give up her ambition? Because it's for her own good.
No matter how hard an incompetent person tries, she can't produce results.
She'll only make the situation worse.
Those efforts are worth nothing.
She's better off giving up.
I don't know about that.
Sumeragi can decide what her own worth is.
Sumeragi, in order to acquire something, you must first offer something.
Athletes give up their youth to devote themselves to practice, and businessmen offer collateral to borrow money.
In order to realize one's ambition, you must take on some risk.
The bigger your ambition, the greater the risk.
That might mean time or the kind of effort that shaves years off your life.
This time, it only happens to be money.
Now, then please make your choice! Either take the safe route, or strive for the summit by risking destruction.
The choice is yours to make - Sumeragi.
- What should I do? If I align myself with Manyuda-senpai, I can get back on the council, and then I can take over my family's business.
If I align myself with Yumeko, I'll be fine if she wins.
But if she loses, it'll destroy me.
What should I do? What am I supposed to do? - You want to join the student council? - Yes.
Have you seen the previous donation rankings? That should prove my resolve.
- You should back off.
- What? Why should I? You're only after the privileges student council members get.
I admit it's true that the current council's authority is staggering.
We can wrest all the money and prestige we want from the students.
Nobody can resist.
The student council rules over every facet of this academy.
I know that perfectly well.
There are tons of people who want to join the student council.
But I happen to have money.
I'm someone who can contribute to the student council.
If necessary, I can get you even more.
As expected, you don't get it.
The student council rules this school.
On the flip side, it's bound to assume responsibility for all facets of this academy.
How many alumni do you think are now central figures in Japanese society? They have high expectations for this school.
They're watching us closely.
If we let them down, it will mean the end for us.
You should assume that every path to your future life will be blocked.
The student council carries all that on its shoulders.
Are you prepared to take that on? If I've gotten through to you, leave.
You're better off as an ordinary student.
I want to become student council president.
What? My father has ordered me to become a member of the student council.
But I don't want to be just a member.
I want to be king.
And I can risk everything to achieve that.
You can't let the alumni down? Assume responsibility? Bring it on, I say! I'm willing to do anything to become student council president.
Still not enough for you? We're the same you and I.
True, it's quite a hefty donation.
Your record is impeccable, too.
Fine, then.
I'll recommend you to the others.
You and I will become kings.
I hope you're prepared, Itsuki Sumeragi.
Yes! I thought that he'd acknowledge me.
As comrades with the same goal, sharing the same secrets, as co-conspirators in our arrogant quest to become student council president, I thought that we were kindred spirits.
But I was wrong.
I was nothing but another pawn to him.
Discarded the moment he had no use for me.
He'd been looking down on me all this time.
Now, then, Sumeragi get your gambling freak on with me.
I'll get my revenge! 100 chips! Please add one billion yen to her pot! THE GIRL WHO CHOOSES I'm the one who's gonna become king! - Come on back, Sumeragi.
- I'm about to start seething.
- What are they saying? - In order to win, I'll do anything! EPISODE 11: THE GIRL WHO WOULD STAKE HER LIFE
The heads of each family are gathered here today.
All right, shall we begin? MITTENS Let's have an official match! Hold Hold up a second! Yumeko-senpai! Weren't you saving your official match to take on the student council president? What?

- I-- - Oh, my That's quite a choice of words.
You say that Sumeragi is incompetent? Who on earth ever decided such a thing? Even if that were true, why would that be a reason for her to give up her ambition? Because it's for her own good.
No matter how hard an incompetent person tries, she can't produce results.
She'll only make the situation worse.
Those efforts are worth nothing.
She's better off giving up.
I don't know about that.
Sumeragi can decide what her own worth is.
Sumeragi, in order to acquire something, you must first offer something.
Athletes give up their youth to devote themselves to practice, and businessmen offer collateral to borrow money.
In order to realize one's ambition, you must take on some risk.
The bigger your ambition, the greater the risk.
That might mean time or the kind of effort that shaves years off your life.
This time, it only happens to be money.
Now, then please make your choice! Either take the safe route, or strive for the summit by risking destruction.
The choice is yours to make - Sumeragi.
- What should I do? If I align myself with Manyuda-senpai, I can get back on the council, and then I can take over my family's business.
If I align myself with Yumeko, I'll be fine if she wins.
But if she loses, it'll destroy me.
What should I do? What am I supposed to do? - You want to join the student council? - Yes.
Have you seen the previous donation rankings? That should prove my resolve.
- You should back off.
- What? Why should I? You're only after the privileges student council members get.
I admit it's true that the current council's authority is staggering.
We can wrest all the money and prestige we want from the students.
Nobody can resist.
The student council rules over every facet of this academy.
I know that perfectly well.
There are tons of people who want to join the student council.
But I happen to have money.
I'm someone who can contribute to the student council.
If necessary, I can get you even more.
As expected, you don't get it.
The student council rules this school.
On the flip side, it's bound to assume responsibility for all facets of this academy.
How many alumni do you think are now central figures in Japanese society? They have high expectations for this school.
They're watching us closely.
If we let them down, it will mean the end for us.
You should assume that every path to your future life will be blocked.
The student council carries all that on its shoulders.
Are you prepared to take that on? If I've gotten through to you, leave.
You're better off as an ordinary student.
I want to become student council president.
What? My father has ordered me to become a member of the student council.
But I don't want to be just a member.
I want to be king.
And I can risk everything to achieve that.
You can't let the alumni down? Assume responsibility? Bring it on, I say! I'm willing to do anything to become student council president.
Still not enough for you? We're the same you and I.
True, it's quite a hefty donation.
Your record is impeccable, too.
Fine, then.
I'll recommend you to the others.
You and I will become kings.
I hope you're prepared, Itsuki Sumeragi.
Yes! I thought that he'd acknowledge me.
As comrades with the same goal, sharing the same secrets, as co-conspirators in our arrogant quest to become student council president, I thought that we were kindred spirits.
But I was wrong.
I was nothing but another pawn to him.
Discarded the moment he had no use for me.
He'd been looking down on me all this time.
Now, then, Sumeragi get your gambling freak on with me.
I'll get my revenge! 100 chips! Please add one billion yen to her pot! THE GIRL WHO CHOOSES I'm the one who's gonna become king! - Come on back, Sumeragi.
- I'm about to start seething.
- What are they saying? - In order to win, I'll do anything! EPISODE 11: THE GIRL WHO WOULD STAKE HER LIFE
