All language subtitles for Liar Game ep03 (704x396 DivX6)

My name is Nao Kanzaki.

I have a gullible personality,

and a lot of people say that I'm idiotically honest.

By carelessly opening a box,

I got caught up in a terrible game.

"Liar Game"

If I lost, I'd end up with an astronomically high debt. That was the rule.

My opponent was my former middle school teacher,

who easily cheated me of my 100 million yen.

I asked a genius swindler,

Shin'ichi Akiyama, for his help.

We began to follow a plan to get back the money.

Though Akiyama kept me in the dark, his plan succeeded,

and we managed to take 200 million yen from my opponent.

"People are not to be trusted..."

"please don't ever say such a sad thing again."

But this game for 100 million yen

was only the entrance to an even greater terror.

LIAR GAME: Second Round Information

I didn't want to get involved in this any further.

That's what I thought, but...

I was tricked again.

Unable to withdraw anymore,

I had no choice but to participate in the second round of the Liar Game.

"I'll join as well."

That Mr. Akiyama�s arrival was my only salvation.

While I waited anxiously,

Round 2

they introduced us to the content of the second game.

It's...

Minority Rule

Please watch the following video

to better understand "Minority Rule".

The rules of "Minority Rule".

First, one player will be chosen.

This player must then pose a question
that you can answer with "Yes" or "No".

Each of you must then vote

on either "Yes" or "No".

The time limit will be 6 hours.

After this, we will count your votes,

and the people who vote with the minority will be winners.

If there are an equal number of "yes" and "no" votes,

the round will be repeated with another question.

If you lose, you must return your 100 million yen nameplate

and leave the room at once.

This process will be repeated,

until only one or two winners remain.

With only two people, a minority vote is impossible,

so the game ends at that stage.

The total amount of money in the game is 2.2 billion yen.

Since the winner must return his 100 million yen nameplate,

the remainder will be his prize money.

Therefore, if there is one winner,

The prize money will be 2.2 billion yen minus 100 million yen, that is, 2.1 billion yen.

For two winners, the prize money will be 2.2 billion yen
minus 200 million yen divided by 2, or 1 billion yen each.

Should the winner withdraw from the third round,

We will retain half of the prize money.

If you lose,

you must repay a debt of 100 million yen each.

Be aware that the Liar Game Office

will retrieve the sum by any means, without failure.

Ladies and Gentlemen, did you understand everything?

Like we'd really get that money!

Meaning what?

Aren't you just setting us up?

There are 22 people in here,

so who knows how many of your people are planted inside!

Aren't you just trying to get us in 100 million debts?

That stinks of suspicion if you ask me!

Is this true?

What's so funny?

Excuse me.

I just found the power of your imagination remarkable.

Bloody hell...

May I ask you to remain silent?

How do you think could we accomplish such a feat?

It would be simple if this was a majority game.

Placing enough of our people inside to form a majority would guarantee an easy victory.

But in this game, the minority wins.

There is no room for manipulation.

Did you understand?

I understood perfectly.

Then let me end this explanation.

The real game is going to take place tomorrow,

but today we are going to hold a rehearsal session.

Please make yourselves comfortable,

until we begin with the rehearsal.

Umm... Mr. Akiyama?

You're not eating?

I'm not hungry.

Seems like you're the only one who can stay calm

at a time like this...

Not quite.

She's calm as well...

Eat something.

It's going to be a hard fight.

A hard fight...

Why did this have to happen to me...

Why did this happened to you?

Actually, What are you doing here anyway?

I was...

tricked...

Akiyama

Again...?

Yes, again.

I'm really sorry.

Say...

Why are you here?

I just came here to stop you.

Of course, there was no way I should have gotten in.

What's up?

LIAR GAME: Second Round Information

Someone stole...

my money...

Stole it?

I came here to quit.

I wanted to return... all the money I got from the first round.

I gave the money to a person from the Office,

but that person was really another player...

I got cheated...

That person stole my check of 100 million yen,

and now I can't drop out anymore...

Miss Takada.

The office suggested I play as a substitute for her.

So I entered in her place.

Takada Michiko

No...

I only came here to stop you,

but now it looks like I have take part in the game as well.

I'm sorry...

It's all my fault...

The only thing we can do now is win.

Let's win this game and get out of here.

Got it?

Yes.

Rehearsal for "Minority Rule" will now commence.

First, we will decide who should ask the question.

No. 17.

Please come up here.

Then, please ask a question that can be answered by "Yes" or "No".

My question is...

Are you...

a woman?

The question has been set.

In the real game, you will be given cards like these in advance.

For each number,

there will be one card with "Yes" and another one with "No".

Please make your vote by using one of the two.

We ask you to vote within 6 hours.

Do we need 6 hours for that?

If you vote using both your cards, or fail to vote within the time limit,

you will be disqualified instantly.

Since this is a rehearsal, the time limit will be 10 minutes.

Let us begin the game.

Including me...

there are 9 women

and 13 men.

I'm in the minority.

Why spend 6 hours on a question like this?

Then, let us count the votes.

No. 21

"Yes"

No. 11

"No"

No. 19

"Yes"

No. 4

"No"

The results are as follows.

15 "Yes" votes,

7 "No" votes.

The question was "Are you a woman?"

Those of you who answered "No",

that is, those who said they were men,

are the minority.

Why...

But there are more men here...

I voted that I was a woman...

There are less women, so I bluffed...

That is right.

This is what "Minority Voting" is about.

What you must do is vote for an opinion likely to become the minority.

The question is merely for show.

It's insignificant whether you answer truthfully or not.

The important issue is

how to trick the others and have them become the majority.

Trick...?

"Minority Rule" means manipulation.

That is why you have 6 hours of time between the question and your vote.

As a result of careful manipulation

you may win by 21 to 1,

and decide the game in just one turn.

Let me offer a piece of advice to all of you.

To control this game,

you don't need luck.

What you need is time.

There's so much time that you may think its a waste,

but how are you going to use it?

This is key in "Minority Rule".

I do assert.

The person who can control the time

will triumph in this game.

Control time...

Will triumph in this game?

RAW Provider: gryzze

Timers: Komobore, SacredCultivator
Timings Provider: tianj

Translators: LanBreak, orichan

Editors: furransu, SacredCultivator

Special Thanks To: furransu, zeldAIS

You will be staying here

until tomorrow's game begins.

Also, if you don't want to do this,

please put down your nameplate and leave.

This will count as resignation,

and you will lose the second round.

Do you understand?

"Minority Voting"...

"Minority Voting"?

They said time is important, but...

it isn't about majority voting, so there's no point in making allies.

But...

Mr. Akiyama...

Mr. Akiyama.

What's up?

Can't sleep?

I tried to come up with a way to win this game, but...

But you couldn't come up with anything and got afraid of being alone?

Yes.

I figured so much.

It's the same for everybody here.

Even you?

I've been doing some human observations.

Human observations?

To win,

you have to know your enemies.

Why did the other players come here?

What are they thinking about?

First, we need information about them.

But what good would such information do?

You want to win, don't you?

Yes.

Then work together with me.

Excuse me...

It's...It's nothing.

Excuse me...

Makita Tomoyuki

My factory was doing badly

so I used up all of the prize money immediately.

Kinoshita Keigo

I had trouble making a living to begin with.

I used the prize money from round one to repay my husband's debt

Nozoe Keiko

and just when I thought all was good, I had to take part in this round.

I spent too much money on dieting products.

Kayama Harumi

I couldn't stop playing Pachinko...

Takamura Yoshimi

Plastic surgery. It was plastic surgery.

Kawamura Chisato

Since we have to be pretty.

I failed at stocks.

Iimura Jun

I got cheated by a salesman on the street.

Nakaya Kazuko

My fiance took all the prize money and disappeared.

Tsuchida Yasufumi

Where are you...

Natsuko...

I got fired.

Kida Noriyuki

I spent it on surfboards and... stuff.

Okano Ken'ya

I used everything on Yumi-chan in a nightclub.

?no Wataru

I'm a trucker, you know?

As?u Hiromi

And I thought I'd finally have my own truck...

My mother's hospital fees.

Sajima Kenta

Tuition fees and rent...

Sugawara Y?uji

A friend needed the money...

Hanayama Tetsuo

I didn't even think about bailing out.

Eto? Kouichi

I thought that the second round would be as easy as the first round.

100 million yen if I lose?

That's bad.

This organization looks like trouble,

they may go as far as sell you off in some foreign country.

Well, you're kinda cute,

so you're probably going to fetch a good price.

Ishida Rie

It seems like most of the others had financial troubles before.

So they entered the game without much consideration.

In the first round,

most of them only got a few million yen from round one.

Anything else?

Well...

It seems like they had no choice but to take part in the second round.

They used up the prize money and couldn't withdraw anymore.

Someone wondered if we'll be sold off somewhere if we lose.

I'm... scared.

It'll be alright.

In this game,

there's a strategy that guarantees victory.

What does it mean to win in this game?

To remain until the end and get the 2.1 billion yen, right?

Then what if two people remain and earn 1 billion each? Did they lose?

Absolutely not!

Even getting 1 billion would be a great victory.

Then what if you only get a few ten-millions out of it?

Only a few ten-millions...

That's still a lot of money...

Even for the other players?

Of course.

They only got a few millions from the first round...

But for me, if I can get out of this game,

I don't want a single yen.

If that's the case...

we won't have a problem then.

Tell me... what sort of winning strategy do you have in mind?

With my strategy, you can't get 100 billion, even 100 million is out of the question.

But it's good enough to get you 40 million.

More importantly,

it's good enough to get us out of this "Liar Game".

There is a strategy like that?

How does it work?

We'll create a team.

A team?

First, we need 8 team members for this plan to work.

These golden knights are members of our team.

All of the members have to act according to a plan.

That plan is to split up into two groups?

Exactly.

By doing this, we have four members in each group.

Besides our team there are 14 members left.

What's the closest possible outcome?

If they split up 7-7, it's a draw...

so the closest outcome would be 6-8.

Correct answer.

With this, the result is 10-12.

The 10 people who voted "Yes" are in the minority and will remain.

We have 4 of our members within them.

Once again, those 4 will act according to plan.

They'll split up again, right?

Yeah.

There are 6 other players left.

The closest result would then be?

Like this.

Right.

This makes it 4-6.

The minority of 4 remains,

and the next round begins.

We'll split up once more...

With just 4 players left,

the only possible way for the game to end is 1-3.

If the two other players vote the same way, the game ends.

We're covering both "Yes" and "No" all the time.

No matter what happens, one of our players will remain until the end.

It's true!

One of our members is going to remain to the end.

This was an example for the closest possible outcome.

If there's a bigger difference, we might win even faster.

So we're going to win the game,

but won't the other 7 players end up in debts...

Don't worry.

The person who remains until the end gets 2.1 billion yen.

Dropping out of the third round costs half of that money, leaving 1050 million.

The other 7 members have to pay 100 million each,

which we cover for by another 700 million yen.

If you divide the remaining 3500 million yen by 8 persons...

By 8?

4x8 is 32...

43.75 million each.

That's true!

We can get out of the game debt free!

Awesome! That's awesome!

This really is a guaranteed way of winning, isn't it!?

Theoretically, yes.

But that doesn't mean we have nothing to worry about.

What do you mean?

For example, the reason that got me in here.

The player who stole 100 million yen?

Yeah.

Let's just call that person "X".

X is clearly different from other players.

Coldly stealing 100 million yen from another person.

So cunning and cruel at the same time.

The worst part is

that X has a check of 100 million.

If anybody else loses they have to return 100 million yen,

Right.

but X can easily afford that sum, right?

So X doesn't have to worry about losing,

rather X would consider

playing aggressively to get even more money.

Regardless of the means.

My plan needs 8 people to work together,

and the final person must share the prize money.

We can't have a traitor within.

For that, we must not let X join our team.

Did Miss Michiko Takada tell you anything?

What does X look like...

No.

She said X was hiding her face.

Please take this.

Please let me drop out of the game.

Only...

Judging from the voice and the general feel, X is definitely a woman.

"Thank you very much."

A woman...

That's not enough to know who X really is...

But I think...

No.15, the woman with sunglasses is quite suspicious.

She seemed unusually calmed...

That's it!

We don't have to worry about X, Mr. Akiyama.

We just won't let any women join.

There're enough men to create a team.

Don't let women join...

I'll go and gather them.

They should still be in the hall.

You actually managed to get them all here.

Well, I did everything I could do.

Awesome!

That's a great plan!

Please let us join.

Sounds good to me,

but how can we make sure that nobody betrays us?

The winner may just get away with the 2.1 billion?

That won't be an issue.

If you want to join,

you have to sign this contract.

I see...

There are only two conditions.

You must vote according to our plan.

and if you end up being the winner, you must share the money.

With this, the contract is complete.

Good!

We're safe now!

By the way...

Why did you pick us to be in your team?

Umm...

One person amongst the 22 players is a threat to us all.

A threat?

That's right.

That person stole 100 million yen from a woman called Michiko Takada.

What?

That person already got a 100 million yen?

That's a horrible person.

And... don't you know who that person is?

No, we only know that she's a woman.

A woman...

So we've been calling her "X"...

And... we think that No.15 seems suspicious.

No.15?

That woman with the sunglasses?

Yes... do you know anything?

No, but I also thought there was something odd about her...

A solitary woman, but she seems strangely calm...

She surely does.

She can afford to.

With that check of 100 million yen,

she doesn't need to be afraid of that loan.

No.15 must be X!

Just like I thought.

Even if that is the case...

we don't need to worry anymore.

By creating this team we have ensured our victory.

It's almost too easy after all the tension!

They said it was all about time,

but we'll end up having nothing to do.

That's not correct,

we should put that time to use.

If we stick together like this, others will suspect us.

It would be much better for us

if we talked to the other players as much as possible.

To mask ourselves?

Of course, that's important,

but perhaps we can also find some proof that No.15 is X.

Oh, that's right!

Well then, it's settled. Tomorrow, let's all work hard!

Yes!

Mr. Tsukahara.

What are you still doing up so late?

I just can't sleep...

Oh, I get it, me too.

I'm so glad you'd let me join.

If you hadn't asked me, I'd...

I didn't do anything...

It was Mr. Akiyama who came up with that plan.

He really is a great person,

Huh?

Nao, are you his...

No, no! In the first game, he...

Oh, you don't have to deny that so passionately!

Thank you!

I feel much better now.

Good night.

Good night!

We will now begin the first round of the "Minority Rule" game.

Let us first select a person to pose a question.

No.1, would you please come up here?

Yes.

If you could go to the sea or the mountains,

would you prefer to go to the sea?

Well then, please vote on either "Yes" or "No" within 6 hours.

I'll vote "Yes".

The first round of the "Minority Rule" began.

Just like we had agreed on at the meeting,

the 8 of us who had assembled around Mr. Akiyama's winning strategy

began to actively approach other players.

To conceal the existence of our team,

and furthermore,

to find proof that No.15 was X.

Excuse me...

How much did you win in the first round?

Why did you partici...

What's the point of asking that?

Huh?

I came here because I wanted more money.

That's all.

I see.

I'm sorry.

Hey, Nao! Nao!

What did you ask her?

I couldn't really talk to her...

Really.

I'll try to speak to her next.

Ok.

Good... good luck!

Don't worry!

Nice to meet you.

Incredible!

Mr. Tsukahara just tried to talk to her,

and he said she really seems suspicious.

Did he?

Game's over.

We are now going to count the votes.

No.1 "Yes"

No.19 "Yes"

No.7 "No"

No.4 "Yes"

No.12 "Yes"

No.8 "Yes"

No.14

No.21

No.9

These are the results.

10 "Yes" votes.

12 "No" votes.

Those who voted on "Yes" are the minority and will remain.

Those of you who are in the majority, please return your nameplates,

and leave this room.

We will come and collect the 100 million yen

within the next few days.

I won...

We're still in the game, aren't we?

Yes.

Nao!

Yes?

Look!

Our intuitions were right!

She also won...

Mr. Akiyama.

So she really is X, right?

Let's leave that aside...

There's something weird.

What do you mean?

This room... all of this.

This round ended in 10-12, right?

Yes.

If... the next round ends in 4-6,

there's a high possibility... that this game will turn

into what I imagine as the worst-case scenario.

What should we do in that worst-case scenario?

X has set up a trap.

Are we going to be alright?

If we don't act now, we are going to lose tomorrow.

Is that X's doing?

I knew it.

You were manipulating this game.

You were X.

What does this mean?
