Kakegurui Twin (2022) s01e02 Episode Script

1
HANA
The next item
on the Student Council agenda.
There's a problem with one student.
First-year student Midari Ikishima
from the Sazanka class.
Students call her
the "Gambling Den Destroyer,"
and in this past month,
she's gambled at numerous dens
and now owns seven of them.
Five are under
the Student Council's control.
She hasn't paid any usage fees,
and there's no sign of her ever doing so.
Sayaka, I'll leave it to you.
I've already made the arrangements.
Miharutaki.
All right. After school today.
Sachiko, you're sure in a good mood.
Well, yes
EPISODE 2: A TARGETED GIRL
The first-years
are so interesting this year.
Good morning, Mary!
Tsuzura. Good morning.
I can't believe today's
the start of our gambling den.
I was too excited to sleep last night!
Is this really typical of a high-schooler?
What a weird school.
-Ouch!
-What?
What is it?
What the hell? Who did that?
It can't be helped.
I'm a Mittens, after all.
But I'm fine.
I can handle anything as long as it's
part of our journey to be champions.
I'll never give up!
LIBRARY PREP ROOM NUMBER TWO
Huh?
Good morning!
I cleaned up!
Yukimi Togakushi! What are you doing here?
Well, I'm the club president,
and I have the key.
That's not what I meant!
-If you're here to take back the den
-No! I'm not!
I just want to
keep using it as a club room!
And our members are on paper only.
They won't interfere with your gambling!
Please! Pretty please!
-Mary, I think it'd be okay.
-What?
Togakushi was running
the place until yesterday,
so she'll probably have
some good suggestions.
It's the least popular place on campus.
None of her suggestions will be useful.
And
Having your own space
taken away must be really hard.
You need to get your priorities straight.
And you should start by
I'm going to work you hard,
so you better brace yourself.
The most challenging thing
about running a gambling den is the money.
Library Prep Room Number Two
is pretty cheap,
but the Student Council's fee
is still 500,000 yen a month.
That's expensive.
To make enough for two people's donations,
you need to earn
at least 700,000 yen a month.
And if you want to get rid of
Hanatemari's Mittens tag
Donation days occur on an irregular basis,
but I heard about a way to reverse
house-pet status without waiting.
There's a one-million-yen
special donation, right?
Frankly, I hadn't considered
the special donation rule.
But I changed my mind.
In short, I need 1,7 million.
And I need to make it ASAP.
Can we really make that much?
Sure we can!
After all, you're my Prince Charming!
But what about the actual game?
I've thought of something, of course.
We'll use these!
LIBRARY PREP ROOM NO. 1
Excuse me.
What do you want?
I'm Sakura Miharutaki,
Beautification Council Chief.
You know why I'm here.
Huh?
Don't play dumb,
Midari "Gambling Den Destroyer" Ikishima.
What's wrong with gambling on campus?
There's nothing wrong with that.
When you win a gambling den,
all usage rights are transferred to you.
And when ownership changes,
so does the one who pays the usage fee.
COLLECTION LETTER
You owe the Student Council
five million yen for your five dens.
Your payment is due today.
You better pay up in full.
Five million? Five million
Don't make me laugh!
What's so funny?
Are you that stupid?
Of course we don't have that kinda money!
We used all our money
at the mouse's kingdom!
Stop messing around!
We can take it by force!
You ain't gonna get what we don't have.
Search the place.
You better not touch anything!
We've got other work to do.
So let's make this quick.
Don't forget, the Beautification Council
has the power to arrest students.
-I dare you to
-Hang on a sec.
Hey, what's the point
of this lame-ass fight.
-Let's gamble for the money!
-What?
We both want to resolve this
as soon as possible, right?
Lucky for you,
this place has a ton of games.
Choose whichever you want.
Let's gamble with your favorite game.
If you win, I'll pay up.
You lose, you leave. How about it?
So you dohave the money!
Gambling is just
Very well.
Okay. It's decided then.
Name your game.
Let's roll this die.
This is a make-it-or-break-it game.
Guess whether the die will be even or odd.
It's a simple even-odd gambling game.
Then get on with it already.
No.
You roll. I'll guess
But Chief! She might cheat
if you let her handle the die.
I don't go back on my word.
Now, roll the die, Midari Ikishima.
All right! I don't know
what you're planning,
but it's all or nothing!
Even or odd?
Even.
Huh?! How can she decide so fast?
Pretty confident, ain't ya?
Or are you just a badass?
Stop wasting time. Let's see what it is.
All right, fine. You're no fun.
All right, everyone. Watch carefully!
Here we go!
Six, even!
The Chief wins!
Oh, look. She guessed right.
-Hey.
-Yeah.
Five million.
So, tell me. Why did you choose even?
You already know why.
-Count this.
-We were wondering why too.
Well, it's not a big deal.
I just took advantage of their cheat.
Their cheat?
First, Ikishima had already anticipated
we would play a dice-based game.
What? But you chose that yourself.
That's when they thought they had me.
I was lured in that direction.
This room has shogi, go, chess,
checkers, mahjong,
backgammon, video games, and so on.
They all take time.
I said I didn't have time,
so it's obvious I'd avoid them.
That left two games, cards or dice.
Both are especially easy to cheat with.
Nevertheless, I had to choose
one or the other.
I see.
Then why'd did you choose dice?
I don't let games
I can win slip through my fingers.
When I picked up one of the dice,
I noticed it was
a little heavier on the "2" side.
That's why I had you roll, and I guessed.
She decided to do that
without ever rolling herself?
Wait a second.
If the "2" side is down,
then the roll would be "5."
But it was actually "6."
Ikishima made this
one cheat obvious on purpose.
And then she switched the die.
Five. In other words, she switched
it from an odd to an even result.
It would be either "2," "4," or "6."
At that point,
there was no way I could lose.
Wow! She came up with a solid offense
and defense in no time!
That was amazing!
We're done here.
We're off to the next collection.
Hold on.
Don't be a sore loser.
I have 30 million.
How 'bout another round?!
The same even-odd game!
Don't be ridiculous!
Who'd play again against a cheater!
Yeah, I thought you'd say that.
So, I won't even touch the die!
And you get to guess! So how 'bout it?
What? We all know the die will be even!
There's no reason not to play, right?
It's like free money!
C'mon! Hurry up and play,
Sakura Miharutaki!
Take home 30 million!
Not interested.
Huh?
After we finished playing, you switched
the die while no one was looking.
Or you didn't switch them
but want to convince us you did.
I don't feel like playing
mind games with you.
Therefore, hard pass.
What's up with her?
She has such negative vibes.
She doesn't know what she's talking about.
Yeah, Miharutaki got it all wrong.
I didn't touch the die after the game.
She's reading too much into it.
She thinks I switched out
the die loaded to show odd,
which is why she chose even?
But she's wrong.
All I did was switch
the die to a normal unloaded one.
The result just happened to be even.
She has mad skills
but can't think outside the box.
She better learn how to be flexible,
or she's gonna break.
Though I don't think
there's anyone at this school
who could possibly break
the Beautification Council Chief.
Wasn't that amazing?
-Yeah.
-What a comeback!
A new gambling den?
Wanna check it out?
GRAND OPENING
LIBRARY PREP ROOM NO. 2
Hello and welcome to the Literary Club!
Now, let me explain how this game works.
The rules are simple.
We'll be using these three dice.
You choose the one you want to use
and then roll it.
I'll choose a different one to roll.
Whoever rolls the higher number wins.
Wow, that's way too easy.
But these dice look
Yes. They have special faces.
The black die has "3," "4," and "8."
The white die has "1," "5," and "9."
The red die has "2," "6," and "7."
So they each have
strengths and weaknesses.
These aren't trick dice, are they?
As if. Feel free to take a closer look.
All right. I'll play.
Please note you can only gamble
three times a day here.
We want to ensure everyone can enjoy
the free entry fee while it lasts.
So that's why.
Can I start with 10,000 yen?
Yes, that's fine.
Now please choose your die.
I'll pick this one.
Why that one?
I just need a "9," right? I can do that.
I'll roll the red one.
Let's roll them at the same time. Ready?
Here we go.
Up to three times?
It's just like a magic trick.
You don't show it off over and over again.
So I plan on changing the game each week.
Why? It seems like
such a waste if we're able to win.
Because someone will figure it out.
-You lost.
-Dammit! I can't believe this.
One more time!
Very well. Which die will you choose?
Red! I bet you knew this one
would give you an advantage.
Then I'll roll the black die.
Are you ready? Here we go.
Yes! I won!
Congratulations!
So, the red die really is the best!
This is going just like Mary anticipated.
This is a good game
because we can also lose.
They end up winning sometimes,
so they keep on playing.
This is your last turn.
What would you like to do?
I'll play, of course.
I'll put 50,000 yen on the red die!
Then I'll roll the black die again.
Here we go.
How did we do?
Our revenue on our very first day
is 300,000 in total!
Hooray!
That's one million with the seed money.
So 1,7 million yen is within our reach.
I'm going to reverse Tsuzura's status
and earn that donation money.
This is amazing!
I didn't think we could make that much!
I knew we could make money,
but I never expected this much.
The maid outfits were a hit, right?
I thought you were crazy at first,
but the effect was clear.
But your game idea
is what really raked in the money!
That was genius!
She's right! You're amazing, Mary!
Flattery will get you nowhere.
Mary.
Hey, cut that out.
-Mary!
-Enough. Let's talk about tomorrow.
Shut up!
New destructive move, Grand Wave Fist!
No!
Runa! You always dominate
when we play video games!
They say one will excel
at what one enjoys.
But you aren't getting any taller.
Shut up! I've grown about two millimeters.
You two are having fun.
-Yo.
-Sachiko! Hey there.
Let's play again.
Okay, I won't lose this time!
Aoi, I found a first-year
who might be fun to bat around.
Yeah? Other than
the gambling den destroyers?
Yeah. She took Library Prep Room
Number Two from me.
I heard her gambling den opened yesterday.
Why don't you go play with her?
Okay, I'm gonna do another special move!
-Huh?
-Sorry, Runa. I gotta go.
What? But this is where fighting games
really start getting fun!
I'll send Kaede on over.
Kaede Manyuda, huh?
He won't play video games with me.
I'll play with you later.
DICE GAME (3 TIMES MAX)
How late did Saotome say she'd be?
She's busy with transfer procedures.
She should be back in an hour.
All right. Then let's open up.
Let's do this!
You're pretty excited!
I haven't repaid Mary
for all she's done for me.
Welcome!
Sorry I'm late. So, how's it going?
Oh, Saotome.
What? Don't tell me we're losing?
No. We're winning
by three million.
Three million?!
That's Aoi Mibuomi
from the Student Council.
He just suddenly showed up.
Here's a million yen.
Huh?
That's a little too
C'mon.
That shouldn't break the bank if you lose.
Besides, I'm sure you'll win
if we play this game.
Very well. You may play up to three times.
Three times, eh?
I'll go with the white die.
I'll go with red.
Hanatemari, you won! You did it!
Now, round two.
Huh?
Two million.
Hanatemari also won the second match.
This is the third and final one.
Four million.
Four million?!
Mary!
So, you're Mary Saotome!
You're the one I wanted to see.
Huh?
So you defeated Juraku? I'm impressed.
And this game is well thought out.
Having the customer
choose first is really smart.
Makes them feel like
the game is fair or even in their favor.
But that's just an illusion.
It's a three-way standoff, right?
Red over white,
white over black, and black over red.
Each die has a strength and a weakness.
In short, whoever chooses second wins.
-Seriously?
-You gotta be kidding me.
Each roll has
a five-in-nine chance of winning.
The more you play,
the more the gambling den makes.
I'm impressed. You figured out
a game that taps into the human psyche.
He's figured it all out!
I still have a ton to talk about.
But first, let's finish our game.
I'll go with the white die again.
You'll go with red, right?
Yes.
This is the "martingale" system!
He's doubling his bet every time he loses!
He'll recover all his losses
as long as he wins at least once.
Ready?
This method isn't usually used
due to the risk of a massive loss.
But it's the best approach
if he's trying to ruin us!
That's because with this game,
there is an over 90% chance of winning
once in three rolls.
Mibuomi won!
Four million! Wow!
I failed to foresee this
and come up with a plan.
That's why I lost.
Hanatemari!
-I'm sorry!
-He cleaned us out.
I'm so sorry.
Here's the balance, one million yen.
You keep it. Consider it a gift.
-Huh?
-What?
You can't afford a big loss, right?
Plus, you want to
get rid of her Mittens tag.
That's true, but
In exchange,
I need your help with something.
Mary, I need you.
It's nothing too difficult.
Just one little thing.
I want to bring down
the Student Council President!
