The Battle of Antagonists
This is one of the specials that accompany the 2012 movie. (Watch this before Alice in Liar Game).
It's a battle between the opportunistic ally, Fukunaga, and the manga's antagonist, Yokoya.
Fukunaga carries this episode, and his flamboyance keeps it entertaining, but Akiyama's charisma is sorely missed. Due to how the actor, as well as the earlier writing of jdorama's Yokoya, he doesn't reach the exciting antagonistic vibe of Katsuragi Ryou. His behaviour here is better, but it feels inconsistent with the earlier series.
As far as the Taboo Game is concerned, it's good enough as far as the battle of intelligence is concerned. If I have to describe it, it's like having you transfixed on the given options and their respective probabilities and not noticing the hidden option.
With the absence of Nao and other players, it lacks the dramatick tension made by 1) winning then losing or vice versa, and 2) the frustrations expressed by other people.
If you're unable to tolerate Nao, you might like this one better.
