Kakegurui S2 Episode 6-12 Summary

Episode 6: Yumemi is horrified that Natari won the performance contest and realizes that Natari must have paid a higher bribe to the audience. The next round is proposed by Natari and is called "Grin and Bear It: Death Macaron" where the test is to display no reaction when eating a hot, spicy macaron within a group of three. Yumemi guesses correctly, but Yumeko also guesses which of Yumemi's was the spicy one and the round ends in a tie. the final round is proposed by the Election Management Committee is "Soixante-Trois". The players can truthfully or falsely declare the playing cards they select as they try to guess when the real total adds up to 63 and the winner earns double points. Yumemi and Yumeko appear to not cooperate, and Yumemi is the first to pass, admitting that Natari's talents are far greater than hers. Surprisingly, Yumeko also passes, leaving Natari as the only player, but the total is over 63 and she loses, leaving Yumemi and Yumeko as the final winners.


Episode 7: Yumeko challenges Terano Totobami to a gamble for Student Council presidential election votes and they agree to play a game called the "Greater Good Game" presided over by Rumis Uru. The game involves choosing whether to place coins in a Personal Bank Box for their own gain, or into a Tax Deposit Box which will increases coins for all players. The players agreeing to participate are Itsuki Sumeragi, Miloslava Honebami, Yumeko Jabami, Ibara Obami and Kaede Manyuda, and they deposit their coins in that order. Before the first round, Yumeko suggests that everyone place all their coins in the Tax Deposit Box, but after the first round, there are only 20 coins deposited which means that there is a traitor and the recriminations begin. For the second round, Yumeko suggests that each player deposit a set number of coins as she has written on pieces of paper, but after the round fewer coins are deposited into the Tax Deposit Box than was agreed, possibly indicating two traitors may be working together. The players begin accusing each other of being a traitor, until Kaede is asked by Itsuki who he thinks is the traitor is, and he points to Yumeko.


Episode 8: Kaede explains why he thinks Yumeko is the traitor causing distrust among the other players, and so in round three only 15 coins are placed in the Tax Deposit Box. In the discussion following the round, Kaede and Yumeko proclaim that they will pay no tax, but after round four, 25 coins are placed in the Tax Deposit Box, the maximum possible. Kaede now believes he knows the traitors and nominates Miloslava Honebami and Itsuki Sumeragi, suggesting that they colluded by leaving notes in the deposit room out of sight of the other players which was not prohibited by the rules. He proposes that Miloslava, who has the highest number of coins, be eliminated and the others agree. After the fifth round, Itsuki is declared the winner with 45 coins and she wins 100 votes. As the bookmaker for the game, Terano Totobami has to distribute the votes, however before the game started, she made a third-party bet with Itsuki that Kaede would lose and she wins that bet, forcing Itsuki to pay 150 votes to her. In the aftermath, Itsuki withdraws from the presidential election as she was more interested in winning the game than becoming Student Council president.


Episode 9: Election Committee Chair, Yuna Yomotsuki gives an update on the election, naming the top 10 contenders, with Kirari Momobami still in front with a long lead, Terano Totobami in second place and Yumeko Jabami in sixth place. Yumeko suddenly challenges Kirari to a gamble, but Kirari's fiercely loyal secretary, Sayaka Igarashi, violently objects, and challenges Yumeko to a gamble for their lives. However, Yumeko changes the bet - they agree that Sayaka will bet her friendship with Kirari against Yumeko's promise to never gamble again. Kirari proposes the game of Tower of Doors and as an added incentive, Kirari proposes that the loser jumps from the 5th floor, also forfeiting their life. Sayaka and Yumeko agree. The game begins and Yumeko opens a door which leads nowhere. Then Sayaka opens a trapdoor and descends 1 floor, but defying logic, Yumeko then opens a door in the external wall.


Episode 10: Yuna Yomotsuki theorizes that many of the distributed votes are being held as proxies for some of the front runners. Meanwhile, Sayaka solves the trapdoor puzzles and descends to the 1st floor before Yumeko and retrieves one of the two lilies. On Yumeko's next turn she also arrives on the 1st floor. However, on the ascent, Yumeko reaches the top first, She had correctly guessed that the outer part of the tower rotated after she opened an outer door, and then used the central staircase to travel down and back up. Having lost by using logic rather than intuition, Sayaka opens one of the outer doors and jumps from the tower. Surprisingly Kirari Jumps as well, grabbing Sayaka as she falls and they both land on a soft safety mat instead of hard ground. Kirari takes pleasure in Sayaka thinking that she was falling to her death, reflecting on their opposing characters, the logician verses her own intuitive nature, and she asks Sayaka to be her secretary again.


Episode 11: Yumeko, Saotome and the other students receive invitations to a "Hundred Votes Auction". The only ones to accept the invitation are Yumeko Jabami, Ryota Suzui, Mary Saotome, Yuriko Nishinotoin, Midari Ikishima, Ririka Momobami. Yumeko completely ignores Midari Ikishima. Rei Batsubami is the auctioneer and Inaho Yamoto is to be the Election Committee monitor. The bidding for the first lot goes quickly, with Saotome winning on a bid of 80 votes, however the unseen sponsor collected 130 votes from the bids. The second round goes to Nishinotoin, again with a winning bid of 80 votes. After the third round, Saotome realizes that Rei Batsubami is also bidding, and she forces Rei to stop bidding. However, Yumeko then suggests that Rei is both the sponsor and auctioneer which is apparently not against the rules. Yumeko then has three billion yen brought into the room, and challenges the real Rei Batsubami to an all-or-nothing gamble, and Rei accepts, removing her glasses, wig and gloves to reveal her true self.


Episode 12: Rei Batsubami retells when she was a servant treated like livestock by the Monobami clan and she received kindness from a lady visitor. The woman was eventually destroyed gambling with the clan and Rei swore revenge on them. Now in the present, Rei declare that she will win the Student Council presidential election and become head of the Monobami clan. After she reveals that she is using hundreds of votes collected from non-competitive students betting on whether she would win the election, the game continues. In the next round, the competitors realize that they must continue at the risk of losing all the votes already bid and Yuriko Nishinotoin wins with a bid of 99 votes. Yumeko relishes what appears to be a no-win situation. In the succeeding rounds Yumeko quickly bids 101, winning the bids and intimidating the other players. She next bids 1 vote, winning 100 votes from Rei, more than covering her losses. The other competitors realize her strategy, and each bids 1 vote on succeeding rounds until Rei loses all her votes. Yumeko then suggests that she still has heart, and they bet everything they have on one gamble, Rei's three billion yen against the Jubami name on the toss of a coin.
