Kakegurui (2017) s01e01 Episode Script
A Woman Named Yumeko Jabami
1 Hyakkao Private Academy.
About to celebrate its 122nd anniversary, this school prides itself on tradition and prestige.
Showdown! Full house! Too bad! You get an A for effort! A royal straight flush? Now, now, I'm sure it will be an ordeal for you.
But make sure you do your best.
Fido.
That day, I ceased being a human.
Those are the rules of this school.
It's all about money here.
That and how good a gambler you are.
There! A straight! You win again, Mary? That's our Mary, a juggernaut! Not that I have my A-game today, you know.
I'm just BOTTOM-FEEDER, RANK #0100 FIDO a house pet.
Once you plunge to these depths, you can never climb up again.
Or so I thought.
Until she arrived.
A GIRL NAMED YUMEKO JABAMI As I informed you last week, today, I'll be introducing a transfer student.
Hello, everybody.
My name is Yumeko Jabami.
Inept as I am, I hope you'll welcome me as a member of your class.
- She's pretty hot.
- Totally my type.
Yumeko? That sure is a strange name.
I'd like one of you to show Yumeko around the school grounds.
Ryota, aren't you class president? Would you mind doing the honors? - Sure.
- Ryota.
Thank you in advance.
Thank you.
For the first time, I'm glad that I became a Fido.
Oh, my! How lovely! This certainly is a splendid academy.
I'm so glad that I transferred here.
What is this? Jabami.
Yes, what is it? Listen, you know how to gamble? Gamble, did you say? Well, poker and mah-jongg, and such I am familiar with the rules, at least.
I see.
Right.
See, at this academy, gambling's always been all the rage.
Once classes end, you'll see gambling going on everywhere.
And since there are a lot of rich students here, the stakes are ridiculously high.
I'm sure you'll get asked sooner or later, so better watch your-- Well, well.
That's certainly something to look forward to.
Jabami! Welcome to Year Two, Flower Class! Which school did you transfer from? - Any hobbies? - What do you do on days off? - Have a boyfriend? - Let's be friends! Oh, yes, I hope we can be friends, too.
Nice to meet you! I'm Mary Mary.
I hope we can be friends! I hope we can be friends, too, Mary.
Are you free after this, Jabami? Would you like to gamble with me? Hey, what? - Mary's gonna gamble with the new girl! - Think she's gonna pull that one? - What kind of gambling you have in mind? - It's called Ballot Rock-Paper-Scissors, a gambling game that our class devised.
First, everyone in our class draws either a rock, scissors or paper on a card.
Then they drop those cards into the box so we can't see them.
We both draw three cards from the box, choose just one, and play Rock-Paper-Scissors.
If it's a stalemate, we draw from the remaining two cards and play again.
If it's a stalemate all three times, it's a draw.
That makes up one game.
Unlike normal Rock-Paper-Scissors, you don't always show your entire hand.
Trying to read each other under such unfair circumstances is the appeal.
Sounds fun! I'd love to try it.
Okay! That's what I like to hear.
Jabami-- Fido, fetch the chips.
I said fetch.
Yes, ma'am.
These are the chips.
The rate is 10,000 yen per chip.
For starters, here are 120 of them.
I'll let you determine how much we bet each game.
You never know till you try.
- How many are we betting? - Let's see.
Then, two chips.
In this form of gambling, you almost never end up with all three choices.
Since you're only drawing three, you're more likely to get more of the same cards, like two rocks and one scissors.
If your hand contains lots of rocks, odds are the pool is full of rocks.
Meaning that since your opponent is apt to throw out a rock, you should throw out paper.
Basically, you're betting that you can read each other amid such uncertainty.
Ready? At the signal, play your card when I do.
- Rock, paper, scissors! - Rock, paper, scissors! So you win the first match, Jabami.
Congratulations.
Thank you very much.
I'm going to take two chips, then.
Now, you understand how this game works, right? Let's keep rolling.
Yes.
All right, this time, let's go with 50 chips.
Fifty chips? That's 500,000 yen.
How can you just? I didn't think you were such a risk-taker.
Oh, no.
Fifty-thousand yen's on the line over one game of Rock-Paper-Scissors.
Are you ready now? - Rock, paper, scissors! - Rock, paper, scissors! Well, a draw, eh? Let's do it again.
We have a - Tie! - Tie! All right! I win! Oh, my.
Either way, I would've lost, right? Good thing I won when the stakes were high.
- How many are we betting next? - All right, two chips.
Okay, let's go.
- Rock, paper, scissors! - Rock, paper, scissors! Congratulations! You win, Jabami.
What next? Let's see.
Shall we go with 50 chips once more? Are you kidding me? Didn't you get burned enough? Interesting.
I like that kind of spirit.
Here we go.
- Rock, paper, scissors! - Rock, paper, scissors! Great minds do think alike.
Here we go again.
We have a - Tie! - Tie! Yes! I win yet again! Thanks for the 500,000.
That's one million yen, total.
All right, next! Let's keep rolling, shall we? Is something wrong? Don't tell me you're getting cold feet.
Well, after losing one million yen, who can blame you? No, the showdown is just about to start.
Please bet two chips this time around.
It's over.
216 chips versus 24 chips.
The gap is way too huge.
Her back's up against the wall.
She'll never pull off an upset if she's freaked out.
Then let's carry on.
Rock, paper, scissors! Scissors! Scissors! Oh, my, Jabami.
I see you've run out of chips.
- Did she just lose 1.
2 million yen? - That was a huge gamble.
Mary, would you mind playing just one more game? Don't do it, Jabami! At the rate you're going, you'll be a house pet on your first day.
Of course! How much do you want to bet? Idiot.
You'll only get yourself mired with no way out.
Ten million yen in cash.
Why would you walk around with that amount of cash? Don't be ridiculous! Staking ten million yen on a single casual game of Rock-Paper-Scissors.
You You're insane! Isn't that what makes it fun? Insanity is the essence of gambling, right? In a capitalistic society, money and life are the same.
Trusting your life to fortune, no one in their right mind would do that.
And yet, people still throng casinos because people derive pleasure from the insanity of risking their lives.
In that case, the more insane you are, the more you enjoy gambling! Now, then, let's get our gambling freak on.
President, this is the transfer student who joined Year Two, Flower Class today.
I see.
So it looks like a viper has appeared in my paradise.
That's absurd! I won't be a party to this! Don't tell me you're getting cold feet.
You stupid daughter of a rich boy! Underestimating me! What's going on? Taking part in this insane gambling game so soon after transferring here.
How can you be so calm about it? These large wagers do make my heart race.
Damn.
Acting so nonchalant.
We're talking ten million yen.
Don't you get that? Well, who cares? I'm going to win anyway.
After all, of the 30 voters, up to 21 will vote in my favor! Whether it's their debt I'm covering or their standing in the classroom.
There are all sorts of reasons, but at any rate, my 21 slaves will vote the way I want them to every time.
This time, it's rock and paper.
Meaning that as far as odds go, this is what it looks like inside.
There are hardly any scissors.
Even if Yumeko were to draw scissors, the odds are even less she'd throw it.
In other words, as long as I throw out paper, I'll never lose.
The only thing I have to worry about is not drawing paper myself.
Two papers! It doesn't get better than that! I win! You're going down now! Have you decided your move? Ready? What's wrong? You only have three cards.
So, what good will it do to hesitate? Did you think I wouldn't catch on? Everyone is collaborating with you, isn't that right, Mary? Judging by all of the voting till now, I wouldn't say all, but ten, perhaps? To seal your victory, maybe 20 or so, should I say? - On what basis are you--? - Your methods are crude.
You made the same play twice in a row when there was 500,000 yen on the line.
Why wouldn't I suspect something was going on? Whenever the stakes were low, you'd throw in some random moves, but as camouflage, that was a poor tactic.
You'll never deceive anyone unless you're prepared to shed blood! Would you stop making these false accusations? You're trying to sweep this match under the rug-- Heavens, no! No, why would I let it all go to waste? After all, the real fun is just about to start.
How on earth can she be so relaxed? Don't tell me she's convinced she can beat me.
There's just no way.
As long as she doesn't know what I'm going to throw, she can't possibly believe that she'll win.
This is just a bluff.
I'm going to throw out paper and win! Are you done with your tedious drivel? Hurry up and pick out a card! I did warn you, all right? Are you ready? Yes.
Showdown! Rock, paper, scissors! Scissors.
What? Scissors? Impossible.
No way.
Impossible or not, please don't avert your eyes from reality.
Now, as for settling up after subtracting what I lost, that will be 8.
8 million yen.
Your payment will be appreciated.
How did this happen, anyway? Just saddling her with a little debt, that was all I wanted.
So how did I lose 8.
8 million to her instead? Why the hell? - Who the hell is this girl? - You'll be kind enough to pay up, right? I can't.
What was that? I don't have it right now.
Could you possibly wait a few days, please? Mary.
I had a wonderful time, so fine by me.
Now, then, everyone, good afternoon! Starting tomorrow, I hope you'll welcome me as a member of your class.
Jabami! Ryota? Is there something I can do for you? Well Well, I've got to ask you.
How did you know she was fixing the game? Oh, that was quite simple.
It was obvious to me right away that Mary was manipulating the voting.
And so I had to find out which card was being voted on the most.
Right.
But how'd you do that? Let's just say that there were 20 people in league with Mary.
Unless those 20 shared which card they were voting on, it wouldn't be cheating.
As far as I could tell, there wasn't a pattern to what card was being voted on.
That said, it would've been too hard to memorize the order ahead of time.
Therefore, one could deduce that she was picking a card to throw out on a match-by-match basis.
If so, then how? I was observing her right up until I ran out of chips, but Mary never seemed to make any kind of signal.
Then what about audio cues? No, I didn't hear anything, either.
And so that left just one last possibility.
Somebody in the classroom was signaling in Mary's place.
If this notion was correct, it had to be someone specific, who would draw everyone's attention.
As I continued to observe, it hit me.
All eyes would be on me because I was one of the gamblers.
That was the flaw in my logic.
Their eyes weren't on me, they were actually on the person right behind me.
- So you had that part figured out, too.
- The rest was easy.
I guessed your signals from your demeanor.
My demeanor? Even though I was behind you? Yes.
After all, a girl can't do without her hand mirror! Is that right? Would you mind explaining one more thing? How were you able to draw scissors at the end? The odds were pretty low.
Oh, that was pure coincidence.
That was certainly lucky.
You're kidding, right? You burned through 1.
2 million yen to uncover her cheating.
And yet, you're saying you bet ten million yen on a mere coincidence? Yes.
Well If you'd kept quiet about seeing through her con, you could've played to a draw at worst.
By drawing scissors, you'd more or less have won.
So you went out of your way to tell her because you relish taking risks? Oh, my, please.
Even I find it tedious to merely assume risk.
But having too great an advantage would be boring, right? You really are something else.
I'll never be able to feel that way, as long as I live.
- I'm leaving the academy.
- What? I have all this debt.
I owe Mary Mary five million yen.
When I tried to pay it off by gambling, my debt only ballooned.
It felt like I was swimming in a swamp.
I'm exhausted.
If only I were as good as you, things might've been different.
Jabami, I'm really sorry.
Come to think of it, I never thanked you.
- Take this, please.
- No.
I enjoyed a lovely gambling session today.
This is a small token of my gratitude.
Please accept it.
Hold up! No.
I took part in the cheating, and I-- I dislike both contests that I'm sure to win and that I'm sure to lose.
Because neither of them are gambling.
Today, I was able to engage in some stimulating gambling, thanks to you.
Thank you very much! I couldn't see any trace of a shadow in that smile.
No resentment or pity towards me whatsoever.
I enjoyed today's gambling from the bottom of my heart.
And so I thank you.
That was all.
She's not normal.
A gambling freak.
A compulsive gambler! I ended up like this because I lost to you! Yumeko-senpai, I'll lend you 20 million yen! - All you have to do is nod yes! - Intriguing.
Why don't we meddle? EPISODE 2: LAME GIRL
