THE GOLD RUSH GAME!

Our fearsome enemy this time around...

...was Ryou Katsuragi, an old classmate from Mr. Akiyama's college days.

They were fated rivals, especially during their Profiling Test.

As Team Flame's leader, Ms. Katsuragi took control of her teammates using their Cards.

And what's more...

...take a tape recorder.

If you catch someone trying to betray us, record their voice and report to me.

Meanwhile, Mr. Akiyama managed to persuade enemy players over to our side,

with the goal of transferring all the gold from their vault to ours, in secret.

When the game ends, all that gold would become ours.

However...Ms. Katsuragi had already pulled off that very same plan.

We put those 17 bars...

...someplace secret.

HAH!?!

By lying that we didn't depost but hid the gold, the enemy players were struck with fear,

allowing Mr. Akiyama to coerce Ms. Marie and Mr. Kawai to join us.

All that was left was to convince Mr. Ikezawa.

So we have a chance at winning now?

Mm-hm. And we'll continue on to the Final Stage...

And if you become the winner of paradise, you may be able to do it...

...to put an end to the LIAR GAME, that is.

...and crush the LGT Office.

Right.

With Mr. Akiyama, we'll get to the Final Stage and end this game once and for all.

But to do that, we'll have to beat Ms. Katsuragi first...

Somewhere among us...

...lies a traitor.

And that person...

...is still unknown to me.

But it's only a matter of time.

And now, it is time for Game 11.

Hm?

Dangit! It's the kiddo!

Geez, that was close!

Idiot! Don't talk to me!

My bad!

Gotcha~

We're within reach of our goal.

But Ms. Katsuragi...

...was closing in.

LIAR GAME Season 2

I'll give you 10 minutes.

If you tell me everything, I'll give you 50 Loyalty Points.

But...only to the one of you who confesses first.

"The Prisoner's Dilemma."

If you sell out your partners, only you will be saved.

That enticement is very difficult to overcome...

Get ready, and...

Start!

What was that!?

He couldn't have... sold me out!?

No, he couldn't have...

Kawai wouldn't do that.

But...wait...

If *I* were the one to sell him out, I'll get money and I can withdraw from the game!

--No!!

That's exactly what Katsuragi wants!

I have to stay strong!

Time's up. Please remove the blindfold.

Yes!! We won!!

Huh!?

YOU!? WHY!?!

YOU made a noise so I thought you sold me out!!

See? Humans, in a nutshell.

I don't believe this!

That's 50 points for me, right?

You said Akiyama-kun was aiming for Ikezawa next, right?

Yep!

In that case, please take this turn, Ikezawa-kun.

Akiyama will be sure to follow.

Yes ma'am.

AH!! Ikezawa's carrying this time!

That's my cue...

Now if Mr. Akiyama could only persuade him to join our side...

Yes!

Yes, Yes, Yes!!

He took the bait.

Shit!

If he invites Ikezawa to their side,

the whole plan will be blown!

Akiyama, figure it out!! If you don't, we're all screwed!

Pass.

At the time, we all thought Mr. Ikezawa was with us.

But the truth was...

He offered me the same exact plan Kawai said.

Ms. Marie, I'll give you one more chance.

I want you to carry out a very important job for me.

I want you to carry out...

...Mr. Akiyama's plan.

Huh!?

His plan is to hide the Card to their account with all of the Gold somewhere in the vault.

Then, he'll signal where he hid the card when a traitor's turn to carry comes up.

Right Pillar

Roger!

The traitor next uses that card to open the vault in our territory,

Got it!

withdraw all 17 bars of gold, and deposit them into the vault on their side.

After increasing the gold in their territory, the traitor enters the Sheriff's room

and returns the card to Akiyama, who's waiting for them there.

Instead, I want you to pretend to carry out his plan, but instead bring all the Gold to me.

Time for Game 13. It is Team Flame's turn to carry.

Team Shine, please send your Sheriff to the Border.

I'm counting on you, Ms. Marie.

Go on, get over there and read Akiyama's message!

Huh...?

What is it?

What's wrong, Akiyama?

Akiyama isn't telling me where the Card is!

Strange...

He's being cautious...

...questioning whether or not you've gone back to our side.

Just head to the Border, as planned.

Okay.

NOT FOR SALE OR RENT. DO NOT UPLOAD TO ANY STREAMING SITES!!

Softsubs hosted on d-addicts.com. Come by and tell us what you thought!

Man, this is all-out Psychological Warfare!!

It's the same relationship they've shared since college...

What now!?

There's a broken speaker here in the hallway...

Don't bug me over shit like that!

What was it?

She said some speaker was busted.

Geez, right when we're getting to the good part here!!

Pass.

Team Flame's Sheriff, Ms. Ootsuka,

has wonderfully seen through the enemy's feint.

That was a pretty long chat with Akiyama back there...

None of your business!

I put his fears to rest.

He's sure to show me where the Card is next!

Ikezawa-kun?

Please bring back all of the gold during the next game.

Right.

Now for Game 14, Team Flame's turn to carry.

Team Shine, please send your Sheriff to the Border.

C'mon Akiyama, show it to me...

Hurry up! Where'd you hide that Card?

"Team Shine Vault, Door's Hinge"

I got it.

Pass.

He's back!

How'd it go?

We hit the jackpot!!

Yes, Yes, Yes!

Way to go, you stud!!

All 34 bars of Gold are right here, without a doubt.

We win.

We were expecting...

...that Mr. Ikezawa was going to deposit the 17 bars into our vault.

Combined with the Gold we already won, that was supposed to secure our victory.

It's over!? Katsuragi won!?

Continuing onto Game 15...

Pass.

Pass.

Nothing changed one bit.

That concludes our 15th Game.

From here on, we will now disclose the remaining gold in each vault.

But before that...

We will also connect each Team's video and audio feed.

We don't wanna see their faces!!

Members of Team Shine...

I must say, you put up quite an impressive fight.

Ryou Katsuragi!! Ms. Katsuragi!

Especially you, Akiyama-kun.

It came as quite a surprise...

...the "fact" that you hid my 17 Bars shortly after I tried to have your teammates deposit them.

Ah, pardon me...

I meant "bluff."

You did a fine job convincing Ms. Marie and Kawai-kun to join your cause.

Unfortunately, Ikezawa-kun swore his allegiance to me.

HUH!?! YOU LITTLE PRICK! GET OVER HERE, RIGHT NOW!!

That's why all of the Gold is right here, with me.

No...!!

Once the entire Game ends, this Gold is all ours.

But it's no surprise things turned out this way, is it, Akiyama-kun?

I won back in college, after all.

You ran away, and I became a professor.

Would you mind disappearing for good,

Akiyama-kun?

I win.

Akiyama...

LOST!

Haha! He can't even respond!!

Oh, how sad~

Shut up, you two!!

We will first display the total amount of Gold carried across the Border.

Team Shine:

8 Bars.

Team Flame:

6 Bars.

Next, we will display the amount of Gold remaining in each team's vault.

Team Shine:

Zero.

Team Flame:

34 Bars.

Yep, yep!

We win by a landslide!

Thus, the total amounts are as follows:

Team Shine: 42

Team Flame: 6

We're finished!!

Yep, yep!

See? A landslide!

...huh...?

WE'RE WINNING!?!

What's going on!?

IT'S BROKEN! THE SCREEN'S BROKEN!

5 Games remain.

Team Shine leads by a tremendous margin.

What a shame...

Care for an explanation?

My plan was this:

First, I aimed to hook Marie on our side.

--because if I did, everyone else would follow.

That's impossible! Ikezawa's on our side!

I mean, Kawai sold Marie out!!

Don't think so!

Actually, we're still partners.

Wha--!? But you clearly sold her out!

Yeah, I pretended to.

Huh!?

You guys were mistaken from the very start.

Eh!?

You heard the lady.

I was off this team well before you even tied them up!

WHAT!?

Ah!?

The 3 of us were allied before Katsuragi ever suspected a thing.

When Kawai made his "confession,"

everyone assumed our alliance was crushed.

Relax, that was just an act.

Katsuragi doesn't have a clue you're in on this.

Stick to the plan.

YOU!? WHY!?!

Since Marie didn't know, her reaction was genuine

and that tricked Katsuragi into believing it was all over.

He took the bait.

Soon after that...

we told Marie the truth.

Ikezawa's on our side. Stick to the plan!!

To put Kawai's words to the test, you sent Ikezawa...

...without ever suspecting he was already ours.

That decision ended this Game.

That's right.

In that case, please take this turn, Ikezawa-kun.

Akiyama will be sure to follow.

I took all the Gold Akiyama had deposited into that Card's account...

...and transferred it into our vault.

...when?

Right! You never had a chance to talk to Ikezawa!

Still don't get it?

It's all thanks to YOUR mistake.

Akiyama-kun? I win.

Nice job handing these out.

Sure, they're great for spying on people...

...but they're even better as a private means of communication!

Pass.

I borrowed Marie's tape recorder,

and on it, explained in detail why betraying you was the best option.

Pass.

I gave it back to Kawai...

...and he gave it to Ikezawa.

That convinced him to join us without ever having met face-to-face.

So before I ever encountered Akiyama at the Border...

...I was already on his Team.

You were too busy "commanding" your team

...and drowned in your own strategy.

Wait!!

Ikezawa transferred 17 Bars, right?

So where did we get 34 from!?

Ah, yes...

...you're correct, he only transferred 17.

Then what about the extra!?

I transferred them.

But you don't have access to our vault!!

Can't deposit

Right, so I made a card.

I'm sure you know that the Dealers will replace a Card if it doesn't function, right?

If I had visibly scratched your card, you'd have immediately noticed.

So, I used that...

...the magnet on the back of a speaker.

So HE broke the speaker!?

Akiyama!!

Here is your new Card. Shall I dispose of the old one?

Mind if I keep it? Not a problem.

The magnet scrambled the Card's data.

Once proven that it didn't work, they tendered a new one on the spot...

...and that's the one I kept,

He offered me the same exact plan Kawai said.

while Ikezawa returned the non-functional one to you.

So, I used my Card to open up your vault

and deposited the remaining 17 Bars.

And there you have it. We "carried" them all to our territory.

Then how do you explain this!?

You ordered your teammates to bring back the Gold.

--but, all of that Gold was already in our territory.

So, Marie said...

Akiyama isn't telling me where the Card is!

By acting like some unforeseen accident happened,

Marie waited on me for further instructions.

Give this to Ikezawa.

That was a pretty long chat with Akiyama back there...

None of your business!

She passed my instructions on tape to him.

"Team Shine Vault, Door's Hinge"

Got it!

And so, Ikezawa withdrew the Gold as instructed...

...but it was Gold from our vault!

Thus, the Gold you see there originally belonged to our territory.

It's over, Katsuragi.

WE DID IT~!!

How much did he pay you!?

Don't you get it?

It ain't about cash.

Then what? How did Akiyama get you to do it!?

It wasn't Akiyama...

...we listened to Nao-chan.

I promise, we will save all of you.

Please believe me!

Because those were her words, I decided to trust them.

That's why I listened to Akiyama.

What a hypocrite...

She is not!

Do you know what she told us?

"I'll save Hiroka and Momoka, too."

And guess who else?

"I'll even save Katsuragi."

Honest people do exist.

Katsuragi...

You controlled your teammates with fear,

believing that would lead you to victory.

But what about Nao, who chose to trust in people instead?

Do you see?

Looks like the one "disappearing for good" is you, not me.

Katsuragi...

you LOSE.

No...

How...!?

I was supposed to have what you lacked!

Why!?

It is now Game 16.

Team Flame, it is your turn to carry.

Would Team Shine please send their Sheriff to the Border?

I get it.

Ms. Nao Kanzaki...

I refuse to acknowledge someone like you.

Let's end this.

What are you planning to do?

I'll finish her.

Mr. Akiyama...

...I think we might be misunderstanding her.

Sure, I did think at first she was cold-hearted...

...but I realize now she's not a bad person.

What do you know?

I heard all about... your college days.

Very good. Now, let me tell you whose response was correct...

Katsuragi-kun was right.

Eh?

How did you figure it out?

The opening to the letter struck me as odd.

If I was writing a letter to a stranger,

I would first introduce myself.

But this letter has no self-introduction.

That's why I wondered...

..."maybe this person didn't want to write about themselves."

And also, I asked her about it...

...your wife, Sir.

The author was Koushiro Takeda,

a 13-year-old who was bedridden for close to 3 years.

One day, he set off balloon-launch messages.

In them, rather than writing about his suffering from his illness,

he decided to fill those letters with words of hope.

It was Reiko, your daughter, who found one of those letters.

At the time, she was suffering from severe depression,

but found courage and hope in this letter.

She decided to pen a reply.

Surprisingly, she received a letter back from the boy's mother.

He had already passed away.

Upon hearing this, once Reiko took another look at the original letter,

tears ran down her cheeks as she read it.

This illegible blotch was caused from those very tears.

Please forgive me for prying, Professor.

I'm not upset at what you did.

In fact, I believe you did the right thing.

What!? Professor!

She didn't even do the assignment!

You're wrong. She did this assignment very well.

You lost this time, Akiyama-kun.

Your grades are top-notch. You're the head of the class...

...but you're better off admitting it.

Katsuragi has something you lack.

Something I lack?

Figure out what it is for yourself.

Ms. Katsuragi was able to sense

the hidden feelings of that letter's author, wasn't she?

Please, Mr. Akiyama...

put one bar of Gold in her safe, would you?

Can't you find it in you

to forgive her?

Pass.

Team Shine's Sheriff, Mr. Akiyama,

has done a splendid job seeing through the enemy feint.

There are no changes to the current score.

Hey! Why does Nao want to give her Gold?

Should your team lose all of the gold in your vault, the Team Leader

will bear the responsibility, and be forced to shoulder half of the team's entire debt.

Must pay half the team's debt

Now the question is, will Akiyama really give her the Gold?

All Mr. Akiyama needs to do is use our Card and transfer one bar of Gold...

Pass.

Team Flame's Sheriff, Ms. Katsuragi,

Did a splendid job seeing through the enemy's feint.

There are no changes to the current score.

Now for Game 17...

There are no changes to the current score.

Now for Game 18...

There are no changes to the current score.

Hey? Um, to get into the Final...

00 Million

Participant(s)

Team Winnings

It's 1.4 billion per entry ticket.

So if he really gives her 1 bar of gold,

Either Nao-chan or Akiyama would lose their ticket.

Now for Game 19...

There are no changes to the current score.

Now for our final Game, Game 20.

Team Flame, it is your turn to carry.

Team Shine, please send your Sheriff to the Border.

So what was it...?

...that thing you had that I lacked?

I'm guessing...

...this is the answer.

"Akiyama, Shin'ichi"

Mr. Akiyama, Shin'ichi

...this is the answer.

I think we might be misunderstanding her.

Sure, I did think at first she was cold-hearted...

...but I realize now she's not a bad person.

Pass.

Team Shine's Sheriff, Mr. Akiyama,

has done a splendid job seeing through the enemy feint.

Additionally, during this past Game...

there has been a change in the current scores.

Mr. Akiyama...!

He...

...saved her!?

Way to go!!

Yahoo!

Mr. Akiyama, thank you so much!

But Nao-chan, you're okay with this?

We just lost an entry ticket to the Final Stage!

Yeah, it's okay.

I decided...

...to withdraw from the Final.

Nao-chan!?

The LIAR GAME must be stopped.

Believing that, I came this far.

So in all honesty, I really wanted to be there and fight together.

Mr. Akiyama...

Beat the Final, and end this game for good!

I'll leave everything to you.

So she didn't make it after all.

Where are you headed?

The game's over. There's nothing more to see.

Talk about cold...

This concludes the Semi-Final's 2nd half, The GOLD RUSH GAME.

And the winner is... Team Shine!

Team Shine also wins 2 tickets to the Final Stage!

Mr. Yuuji Fukunaga and Mr. Shin'ichi Akiyama

Mr. Yuuji Fukunaga

Mr. Shin'ichi Akiyama

are the proud recipients of this prize.

Mr. Yokoya is awarded entry to the Final Stage.

I've got more money than I can handle!

Thanks for the offer...

...but I'll pass.

I wish to withdraw from the Game.

Yokoya, Norihiko

By dividing our earnings, we paid off everyone's debts

and made it through the Semi-Final.

...and that's how I finally became free from this grueling game.

Two years ago, when I was first pulled into the LIAR GAME,

I was forced to experience the ugly depths of human greed.

Why does this kind of game even exist?

I trust Mr. Akiyama will certainly find the answer.

But here's what I think...

this game isn't just about deceiving others.

It tests just how far we can go

in our ability to trust others.

After the commercial, Nao is in for a surprise...!!
