Hanna is getting on my fucking nerves with her way of talking... although she seemed to have suggested that when you lose your body is taken over by the LRIG, just like in the original series. That would make sense, but I feel like it's weird to hold back that information. At this point we can't know for sure, even though we've seen people lose battles.
Not a fan of this bookmaker guy either, he's like a less interesting Itsuki from Yu Yu Hakusho. Especially since he's not even a Selector. I guess the best just desserts would be that he becomes one in the end. They could even activate the card:
This guy, whose name escapes me, is really annoying. He's various sexual innuendoes are disappointing at best. The only solace I can take from it, is that he will lose and his terrible personality will be gone forever.
...Wow, his power is dumb as shit too. It doesn't really give any tactical advantage. I guess, arguably, it could distract the player from performing their best. But, that would be a stretch since they introduced him as having lost his previous match and he's sitting on one coin, desperate as fuck. So, how helpful has it really been?
His losing at least confirms the LRIG possession aspect. So, the rules of this game are essentially the same as the rules of the previous seasons game. Seeing as "losing your personality" essentially translates to "being taken over by your LRIG." I have to wonder if the wish; "replacing/altering any memory" isn't necessarily that. Maybe the translations are being vague, and perhaps winning lets the Selector get a wish? Just like in the previous season.
Otherwise, the drama between Suzuko and Chinatsu seems pretty forced at this point...
