LIAR GAME Episode 21: What Fans Are Saying: Fukunaga-san as a genuine ally is such a lifesaver!

Commenter

Episode 20 was a wild ride tbh! The 24-round Russian roulette for the vanguard battle just kicked off. The rule where you can load 3 bullets into any chambers and even pass your turn created some insane mind games you'd never normally see lol. Wonder what Nao actually figured out tho…?

Commenter

Thought it was just pure luck at first in ep 21, but the whole consecutive loading thing actually makes so much sense now. Figured Akiyama was just winging the test game, turns out it's all about probability and listening to how the gun barrel tilts. The dirty bullets are totally Fukunaga's trap, but I'm dying to know what other catches are hidden in this game.

Commenter

Fukunaga is such a mastermind ngl. Like, the guy is genuinely cracked. Though Akiyama is just on another level lol. WAIT WHAT?! Nao Kanzaki just noticed something?! Neither Akiyama nor Fukunaga said a damn word yet… AND IT ENDED?! Right on the best cliffhanger ever smh!

Commenter

Fukunaga is giving me major Yokoya vibes fr!! The dealer's shuffle is rigged? Because the center of gravity is off so it skews the results?! Makes total sense now!!! Both Akiyama and Fukunaga are big brained af!

Commenter

Fukunaga secured those chips!!! I already know where the hell those bullets are hidden ngl. Nao Kanzaki's shook face is everything lol.

Commenter

Bro, Fukunaga! You didn't have to go that hard!! Oh shit, Akiyama found a clue! Another opening to exploit, you say?????

Commenter

No way, the other side actually has a strategist too?! What the hell did Nao even realize?! Next week cannot come fast enough fr!!!

Commenter

Bet Akiyama just didn't tell Nao beforehand cuz he lowkey just wanted to see her cute reactions lmao.

Commenter

Fukunaga going "Aha!" is killing me. The more you doubt them, the deeper you fall into the trap wwww. Fukunaga is unreal w.

Commenter

Crazy how what looks like a blatantly obvious trick was actually calculated based on the opponent's psychological state all along..

Commenter

Honestly having Akiyama and Fukunaga on your squad is basically an instant win. Nao tho… good luck girl 😂

Commenter

This episode was an absolute banger too!! So damn hyped they're actually animating this revival round!!

Commenter

The opponents have been way too op this whole time, but Fukunaga is insanely strong and having them on our side is stupidly reassuring ngl.

Commenter

Since there's ammo inside, the center of gravity shifts downwards so when it spins the bullets naturally settle at the bottom.

Commenter

Nao-chan finally learning that the other team isn't just a bunch of absolute morons lmao.

Commenter

Fukunaga's entire brand is literally squeezing money out of people the second an opening appears.

Commenter

Dropping casual hints that sound like accidental slips of the tongue to steer the opponent's choices, classic.

Commenter

Farming chips just by passing your turn? Having Fukunaga as an ally feels way too overpowered lol.

Commenter

Ngl I can literally see right through this… I know exactly where the bullets are at!!!!

Commenter

"Accidentally" drop that hint right in front of Fukunaga-san, sure Jan.

Commenter

Using the practice round to let Nao test the waters so they can keep their actual hands hidden, big brain.

Commenter

Kinda weird hearing the dealer refer to Nao's side as "this side" ngl.

Commenter

The mark of a true strategist is assuming the enemy is gonna pull the exact same 200IQ plays you thought of.

Commenter

Just spamming passes until the opponent panics and is forced to pull the trigger, nasty strategy.

Commenter

With Fukunaga's mental fortitude being this high, there's zero chance they're losing this.

Commenter

Wonder if Akiyama actually figured something out from that exact rotation sound.

Commenter

Wait, what happens if both players pick the exact same number tho.

Commenter

It looks like a simple game on the surface, but there's genuinely so much 4D chess to keep track of 💦

Commenter

Having read the manga and watched the live-action, this adaptation is honestly crushing it.

Commenter

Akiyama is 100% just enjoying Nao's priceless reactions at this point lmao!

Commenter

Akiyama's sexy shirtless moments are literally taking years off my life every single week fr.

Commenter

I mean, totally checks out for a transwoman. Handling a "shaft" is probably second nature to her. (T/N: pun on "tama" meaning balls/bullets)

Commenter

Being able to consistently stay two steps ahead of the enemy is just nuts.

Commenter

Akiyama dressing like a Roblox character is giving me prime Heisei era flashbacks 💀

Commenter

Keep spamming passes and the penalty multiplier just keeps compounding.

Commenter

Fukunaga out here starting to sound exactly like Yokoya lmaooo.

Commenter

Honestly just getting completely carried by how gorgeous Fukunaga-san is in every frame.

Commenter

WHO ENDS AN EPISODE ON THAT INSANE OF A CLIFFHANGER BRO?!

Commenter

Wait, was that trap actually set by the opposing team or was it just the house all along?

Commenter

Oh shit, is this literally the gun Fukunaga was pointing straight at the camera in the OP?!

Commenter

The dealer is somehow equal parts sketchy and adorable w.

Commenter

Fukunaga already picking up on that second opening to exploit is just peak performance.

Commenter

Nao's facial expressions are so top tier they always get me laughing fr.

Commenter

Is it even a LIAR GAME episode if Nao isn't the only one having a delayed realization? lol

Commenter

True to the OP, Fukunaga is officially locked in as a full-on squad member now.

Commenter

Nao's "NO WAYyyyyy—!!" 🤣🤣

Commenter

The ultimate eyeliner strategy, exclusive to trans icons only.

Commenter

Wait, if you don't actually touch it wouldn't the heavier side just naturally sink to the bottom by gravity?

Commenter

Ah right, the classic "bullets make it bottom-heavy" physics trick.

Commenter

Fukunaga turning out to be an ally is honestly the biggest comfort ever fr.

Commenter

Having Fukunaga on your team is genuinely the most reassuring cheat code.

Commenter

Okay but seriously, can you actually tell just by listening to the sound???

Commenter

Wild how Nao somehow managed to beat Akiyama to the punch and realize it first.

Commenter

Fukunaga-san with the long hair is just aggressively cute, I don't make the rules.

Commenter

Even after becoming an ally, Nao's reaction game remains undefeated lol.

Commenter

Fukunaga is just as hilarious in the anime adaptation wwww.

Commenter

Running little experiments by messing with things is half the battle in this show fr.

Commenter

When you've already lost the early game prep, a comeback is basically mathematically impossible ngl~

Commenter

A 24-round Russian roulette is straight-up psychological torture ngl.

Commenter

You just know Fukunaga cooked up some nasty scheme behind the scenes.

Commenter

Fukunaga's absolute swagger and confidence are doing heavy lifting here ~~~

Commenter

Nao-chan out here getting completely played as usual lmao.

Commenter

"Oops, my bad" so cute wwww.

Commenter

Fukunaga was actually locked in and listening to the audio cues the whole time.

Commenter

Chibi Nao is giving maximum cute energy ngl.

Commenter

Nao-chan's luck stat is permanently dumped at zero fr.

Commenter

Nao's panic animations are always gold www.

Commenter

They're playing 5D chess while my brain is still stuck on tic-tac-toe…

Commenter

Wait, was LITERALLY EVERYTHING just part of Fukunaga-san's master plan wwww

Commenter

Damn, her comprehension stats just randomly maxed out out of nowhere lol.

Commenter

Surely that has to be an actual bluff, right?? No way it's legit…
