LIAR GAME #17 Reaction: Akiyama's counter-strategy got leaked!

Commenter

GG tonight! Ep 16 of "LIAR GAME" is titled "The Informant." Yokoya figures out the traitor and runs a "confession game" in the Night Kingdom! Meanwhile, Akiyama is finally waking up to the power of trusting people, but watching Shibayama betray him so easily is just way too painful. The Prisoner's Dilemma really is inescapable once you're in it…

Commenter

Absolute chaos over in the Night Kingdom tonight lol. Yokoya really is a total genius when it comes to mind games. Giving bonus points for snitching and minus points for betraying sounds great, but who the hell knows if he's actually keeping score right lol. And Akiyama is still out here giving people second chances even after taking a massive hit, what a legend.

Commenter

Fukunaga is honestly goated for real!!!! He'd make such a good right-hand man for Akiyama. Big brain fr(^^) Only the bandana guy and the beard guy went into the inspection room with Akiyama, and yet… someone's leaking info again! Another snitch is on the loose!!!!! This is terrifying, Yokoya!

Commenter

You just know Yokoya's up to something shady! Wait, his betrayal plan actually got found out. Is Akiyama gonna notice or not… Also, Bandana Guy's trust in Kanzaki Nao is through the roof! Wonder what this super important job to sink the Day Kingdom is gonna be?!

Commenter

Bottom right pic is totally Yokoya interrogating people with his little confession game!! Classic setup where only one person gets to walk away with the reward. The moment one of them rats, it's over. Literal Prisoner's Dilemma!

Commenter

Bandana and Long Hair lmaoooo I literally have no idea what their actual names are. Kanzaki Nao tryna shut down the Yokoya system, but Yokoya came straight for her throat!!!

Commenter

Long Hair (Shibayama), Bandana (Akagi), Baldy (Hasegawa). Even if I learn their names now, there's zero chance I remember 'em by next week.

Commenter

Yokoya really should've used a minus system instead of just adding points. If it's pure addition, they can just keep farming points forever, makes no sense.

Commenter

Oh right, since the opponents are obviously tryna block smuggling, the actual smuggling game itself is gonna play a huge part in who wins or loses from here on out.

Commenter

Damn, so Baldy (Hasegawa-san) has to make the call on whether to sink Bandana or what…

Commenter

Why is Natsuki Hanae so damn good at playing villains?? He sounds so unhinged, Natsuki Hanae evil-controller ASMR when???

Commenter

Wait, what if Akiyama specifically told him to say "I was given the exact same strategy"? Is this all part of his master plan????

Commenter

Letting them keep a tiny bit of hope is such a smart move tho, 'cause if people get 100% hopeless they just stop giving a shit and won't listen anymore.

Commenter

Akiyama definitely knew Yokoya caught onto his plan, so he probably leaked that fake strategy to Hasegawa on purpose. Big brain moves.

Commenter

If you honestly think the other person ratted and confessed already, confessing yourself right then and there does literally nothing… make it make sense.

Commenter

Neunoko and Lelouch—wait, I mean Leleur and Nearco doing sports commentary or let's plays would actually be god-tier content.

Commenter

Leaving a bunch of underperformers in your group is literally asking for backstaggers smh.

Commenter

Getting caught with a doubt and going "LET'S GOOOOO" is wild af. The vibe is completely flipped from the start of the ep.

Commenter

Watching LIAR GAME and Yokoya is slowly turning into Frieza in my head 😇

Commenter

The way he just bends people's minds… Is this what they call actual brainwashing…?

Commenter

Akiyama looks super cold and detached, but lowkey he actually cares about people. We love to see it.

Commenter

Fukunaga breaking things down from a slightly smart normal person's POV is a lifesaver fr.

Commenter

ED Akiyama is so baby, must protect! 👈🏻 I feel like I tweet this every single week lol

Commenter

Unlike the minority vote arc, the guys with sunglasses here are definitely the evil kind of sunglasses lol.

Commenter

Bandana-san, please survive this!! Just trust Nao-chan!

Commenter

Bro really thought he was the main character at first, now it's his turn to get played smh.

Commenter

Ngl I kinda love how Akiyama just calls people "Bandana" or "Long Hair"

Commenter

Punishing failures by docking loyalty points is such a scrub move though ngl.

Commenter

Bro that last Yokoya voice line was panned hard to the left ear… absolute cinema…

Commenter

Smiling after getting your stuff confiscated is a bit sus ngl? Like, normal people don't do that lmao.

Commenter

Bro, why don't YOU just use hand gestures to tell Akiyama-dono yourself instead of standing there 💀

Commenter

Akiyama looks like a nice guy until you realize he's an absolute menace, love that for him.

Commenter

Same VA so I can't unsee Tanjiro after losing all faith in humanity fr

Commenter

Wait are physical fights even allowed in the rules lmao?

Commenter

Turning teammates against each other with a psychological strat is so evil I love it.

Commenter

Akiyama-dono, are you really just spilling your entire strategy like that??

Commenter

There is literally no way Yokoya wouldn't notice that lol.

Commenter

Why does he literally ALWAYS have that mouse with him lolw

Commenter

There's no way those points are legit, he's just making them up on the spot!!!!

Commenter

I am way too distracted by that damn mouse every single time…

Commenter

Ain't no friendship here, they're literally just treated like disposable pawns lol.

Commenter

Teammates out here biting each other's heads off, you love to see it…

Commenter

"POIN-TSU." Did his accent just slip out or was that intentional lmao.

Commenter

Akiyama is such a big-brain mastermind fr.

Commenter

The little face sketches in the notes make things so much easier to follow lol.

Commenter

Even Yokoya was bound to figure it out eventually lol.

Commenter

Leaving that voice recorder right there is way too sloppy smh.

Commenter

"You're gonna do this for me" (whispering)

Commenter

Natsuki Hanae playing the most slimy, punchable guy ever is peak casting.

Commenter

Yokoya is lowkey giving off major small-fry energy lately ngl.

Commenter

And of course the guy who ratted first gets immediately punished! Instant karma lmao.

Commenter

Both Akiyama and Yokoya are just way too overpowered at this point.

Commenter

"I'll go." 👈🏻 Okay, now that was raw af.

Commenter

Bet he whispered a whole new set of evil plans to Baldy right after.

Commenter

The way he talks is just so unnecessarily annoying lmao grass.

Commenter

Fukunaga definitely looks better with hair ngl 😘

Commenter

Lick the bottom of my shoe for 1 bonus point.

Commenter

You're really handing out points for intel like that??

Commenter

Bro got launched so hard, gotta hurt ngl.

Commenter

Bandana was actually such a good dude too… RIP.

Commenter

Bandana-san is getting done so dirty fr…

Commenter

Bro folded within the first single minute, absolute zero mental fortitude lmao.

Commenter

Turns out that opening sound was totally a trap all along.

Commenter

Akiyama doing that little pose is so cool for real.

Commenter

Minus 10 PO-I-N-TS…

Commenter

Managing all these points looks like a total nightmare tbh.
