Here's a roundup of fan reactions to LIAR GAME #20.
Ngl, watching Nao completely flip the script from a crybaby in round 1 to an absolute savage psychological menace while Akiyama plays bodyguard is peak fiction, and seeing Yokoya meltdown over it is just icing on the cake.
Commenter
wild ending to the smuggling game lol yokoya made a bank by himself but nao's growth and her standing her ground was so good to see, yokoya, fukunaga and akagi all making it to the revival round is gonna be nuts 🔥
Commenter
yokoya taking the W is annoying asf ngl, but hearing kanzaki speak made her sound like a literal saint so idc anymore lol akiyama couldn't even talk back to him, hope his mental gets saved in the next games tho
Commenter
yokoya flexing his profits and declaring victory while nao fires back and akiyama stays silent is peak, and lowkey tanjiro's voice coming out of yokoya saying unhinged greedy shit is hilarious af 😂
Commenter
bro anime fukunaga is way too pretty compared to kosuke suzuki in the live-action lmao like she's legit giving golden kamuy's heynaga a run for her money 💀
Commenter
i mean nao's trash talk was top tier but since she and akiyama both got dragged down it basically ruined yokoya's strat so mathematically it's just a draw tbh 🤷♂️
Commenter
akagi, fukunaga AND yokoya going to the revival round?! absolute cinema fr, also dropping the ending theme halfway through the ep caught me completely off guard ngl
Commenter
i already know what happens from reading the manga and watching the live action, but i'm still insanely hyped to see the 17 poker round in the revival stage asap 😭
Commenter
no shot nao hasn't leveled up big time lmao, dropping that much non-stop trash talk after crying from getting scammed in round 1 is crazy character development 📈
Commenter
"yokoya-san, you're just gonna drop out while taking an L using cheap rigged money anyways" 💀
Commenter
"my debt has piled up to 200 million yen!" (meanwhile can't even tell them two people here are 400m in the hole…) 🤐
Commenter
thought the smuggling game was the series finale for a sec ngl, also missed GTO again so straight to TVer it is lol 📺
Commenter
a disciple pulling off a bluffer move that completely eclipses their master, fr student surpasses the master moment 🧠
Commenter
the fact that money isn't even the end goal for nao makes her psychological warfare so goddamn powerful tbh 💯
Commenter
"24-barrel russian roulette" is such an iconic catchy phrase, live-action burned it straight into my brain fr 🎲
Commenter
hanae-kun voicing yokoya is too funny and akiyama acting like nao's personal body guard is 10/10 badass ✨
Commenter
fukunaga's getting so mad her actual objective is slowly changing lmao i just love this weirdo sm 😭
Commenter
in any other standard story fukunaga would take the L and nao would win, but let's see how this actually plays out 👀
Commenter
true tho, at the end of the day akiyama and nao aren't even playing this just to stack cash 💸
Commenter
the host is literally cracking up too because his favorite players started roasting each other live lmaooo
Commenter
letting yokoya rake in the cash was a huge mistake, time for akiyama's self-reflection and tragic backstory time 🕰️
Commenter
putting akiyama, fukunaga and nao on the exact same team is so obviously rigged by the plot lmaooo
Commenter
"three people got betrayed right back, makes you wonder if yokoya even had any real sway over anyone lol" 💀
Commenter
wait wtf?! thought the ep was ending already and realized only 15 minutes had passed?! 🤯
Commenter
if he's trading long-term control for quick cash grabs i guess it's fine, but still… 🤔
Commenter
losing his parents to a scam is literally why akiyama's got such a massive block against scamming anyone who isn't a scumbag 💔
Commenter
bro nao really unlocked the ability to throw precise psychological damage while smiling right in your face 💀
Commenter
at least they didn't just smash the mouse and throw it away… wait no, that's still pretty fucked up ngl 🐭
Commenter
they dropped the ending theme midway so i honestly thought it was gonna hard-cut to the credits right there 🤔
Commenter
round 1 is 24-barrel russian roulette… what is this, some weird zombie survival minigame? 💀
Commenter
akiyama getting utterly cooked verbally just for nao to step up and defend him is so peak ngl 🤝
Commenter
genuinely thought the episode was over and checked the time only to find out we're still at the 18-minute mark?! 😭
Commenter
nao literally covers for all of akiyama's blind spots, absolute power duo 🧩
Commenter
akagi is actually coming back?! and fukunaga is turning into an actual reliable ally?! wtf is happening 😂
Commenter
let's be real, there is literally zero universe where akiyama loses a 1v1 battle of wits 🧠
Commenter
respect to akiyama for doing honest physical labor and making an honest living out here fr 💪
Commenter
W: fukunaga's drag is back, and damn we should've realized sooner how op that utility is 👗
Commenter
wait what would fukunaga even do if the entire enemy team was made of women lmao 😭
Commenter
live-action mid-game rounds were so elite man, wonder how they're gonna handle this one 🍿
Commenter
not even a liability at all, straight up the ultimate emergency trump card when shit hits the fan 🔥
Commenter
russian roulette means there's basically a live bullet passing around like hot potato 💀
Commenter
bro was lowkey trying to secure his own win too, smart asf ngl 🧠
Commenter
yokoya totally melting down because he can't process taking an L is my favorite genre of anime tears 😭
Commenter
thank god they didn't just crush the rat with their bare hands or some psycho shit 🐭
Commenter
nao climbed her way up to top-tier trash talker status in this show fr 💀
Commenter
ED theme started playing so i thought it was over, turns out that was barely the A-part lmaooo 🎬
Commenter
realized the episode was only halfway through and instantly knew some wild bullshit was about to happen… and it did 💀
Commenter
yokoya was really out here pulling all sorts of sneaky little rat moves smh 🐀
Commenter
nao's argument-destroying skills are way too cracked now lmaooo 🗣️🔥
Commenter
nao is the official team captain now, everyone's just blindly following her lead at this point o7
Commenter
you can tell hanae-kun is having the time of his life voicing this guy, legendary casting fr 🎙️
Commenter
akiyama literally saw right through yokoya's trap and didn't even flinch ♟️
Commenter
saving people through mutual give-and-take is totally fine, what's even wrong with that 🤝
Commenter
once nao hits you with that line, your entire argument is genuinely over gg wp 💀
Commenter
never switching up on your allies is the ultimate flex in this game, nao is built different 👑
Commenter
akiyama has definitely been saved by nao's wholesome aura way more times than he'd admit 🥺
Commenter
yokoya is seconds away from joining the Church of Nao at this rate ngl ⛪
Commenter
fukunaga is surprisingly based and reliable when she's actually forced onto your team lol 🤝
Commenter
fukunaga back in her iconic feminine fit, nature is healing 👱🏻♀️💅
Commenter
solario is basically just a slightly lower-flavor namikawa daisuke and i'm here for it 🎙️
Commenter
classic nao getting stuck with the absolute lowest refund payout amount per usual 📉
Commenter
honest-to-god saint nao finally learning how to throw a devastating bluff… character growth is insane 😭
Commenter
wait is that already the ED? had to double-check my clock real quick lol ⏰
Commenter
bro even if an uninvited creep breaks into your house you still gotta serve them tea, liargame etiquette is wild 🍵
Commenter
fair enough tho, having some random weirdo illegally trespass into your space is terrifying af 🏃♂️
Commenter
nao's mental fortitude has seriously gone through the roof over these arcs 🛡️
Commenter
kept all her kindness while simultaneously becoming an absolute menace, love that for her ✨
Commenter
nao got so strong over time… wait no, she might actually be getting *too* strong now lmao 📈
Commenter
the fact that she genuinely means well and still pulls this off makes it so entertaining lol 🎭
Commenter
akiyama dropping that "don't worry, i got you" line is way too cool for words man 🫠
Commenter
making sure literally everyone on the squad walks away with the exact same share is true teamwork fr 🤝
Commenter
wait his actual first name is norihiko?? wild lore drop for yokoya ngl 📛
Commenter
bro was stockpiling cash cushions specifically for when he eventually took an L 🧠
Commenter
nao really grew up into a beast… (*sits back and crosses arms knowingly*) ☕
Commenter
yokoya actually getting out-played and losing a mental duel straight to nao is historic 📉
Commenter
nao out here accidentally dropping nuclear-grade psychological damage without even realizing it lmao 💀
