Game turns deadly!

Wow, I didn’t expect the plot to actually get better, but it did—and I’m loving this movie so much. Huge props to the writer and director. Yumeko is really getting under the student council’s skin, beating them one by one in their own games. So they bring in this next-level psycho, Shikigami Makuro, who's even worse than the student council. He’s not just playing for money—this guy is willing to kill just to win.

For the first time, we see Yumeko kind of lose—not because she was outplayed, but because Makuro threatened to kill Mary if she won. That moment was wild. It wasn’t really a loss, though. She had no choice. Still, it was probably the most intense moment in the whole movie.

And the student council totally had it coming. They really thought Makuro would just ask to come back to school if he beat Yumeko? Nope. He flipped the whole thing on them, made Kirari step down, and even turned her into a housepet. You could kinda see it coming, but they were too focused on Yumeko to realize what was happening.

The final game though—ultimate Russian roulette—was insane. It was Yumeko & Suzui, Kirari & her secretary, and Makuro & Midari. It was less about strategy and more about luck. Like, deciding how many bullets to load, who to aim at, and who pulls the trigger. The tension was real, especially when Suzui had to aim the gun at Yumeko with three bullets in the chamber. Heart. Stopping.

Kirari was so cool as always. Seeing her and Yumeko kinda team up to break Makuro’s mind was awesome. I also love the friendships forming—Yumeko, Suzui, Mary, and even Kirari. It’s so good.

Honestly, I just hope they don’t stop here. I’d love to see more seasons or movies—not just remakes. This series just keeps getting better.
