I will stop you here.
He broke it!
Zero wins!
My best friend!
If something happens to Zaizen-sama,
the winner will take over the Zaizen Group with full authority.
I won't let you call yourself the winner of the Dream Kingdom.
You will compete once again against me.
Zero, I want you to meet someone.
Zero, I haven't met you for a long time.
Mitsuru.
Thank God, you're still alive!
Get away from him.
You left him so he was like this at this moment, right?
Left him?
You ruined his life.
We will compete tomorrow.
It was a battle for the right in taking over Zaizen Group.
He will also be there.
See you later.
Hey.
What happened between you and that man?
Tell me.
It's true that I left him, so he was like that.
Just last year, I was a S2 student
....and often flirted at Mitsuru's inn.
I aspired to be an astrophysicist,
and Mitsuru aspired to become a professional photographer,
We are courageous and often talk about our dreams.
Your photo was chosen to be the winner.
Congratulations, Mitsuru.
For you, my love blossoms with Zero's help. (?)
Because of your lies, I lost my dream, my inn, everything!
My lies destroyed his dream as photographer.
Mitsuru became desperate and had an accident on the mountains.
Megumi!
I couldn't save him.
Never appear before me again!
I will come back to help you.
We couldn't find him after we came back and Mitsuru disappeared.
"Mitsuru Goto"
At that time, I'm already dead.
What?
I no longer want to pursue my dream, so I let go of becoming an astrophysicist.
I will never leave anyone again.
I have to protect the people I meet, no matter what.
That's my oath.
Zero has an unusual sense of justice because of Mitsuru.
That's the reason why he's so weird.
However, still.
Where did that woman find hostages...
...to open Zero's painful past?
She is very cruel!
Zero also suffered like us before meeting with him.
That's the reason he has a crazy idea of ​​being a kind thief...
...to change the world.
At that time...
Will you be a good thief to change the world?
When Zero saved us,
he had already died at that time.
Whatever his past is, Zero is just Zero.
He saved us...
...and he is our good friend.
We are kind-hearted thieves who have strong bonds...
...and that won't change.
It's like that, isn't it?
We can now finally talk.
I was lucky and my life was saved after that.
However, you disappeared out of my sight.
Because I hid in the Zaizen Group.
He...
Mineko Goto...
He is my sister.
Sister?
I was forced to depend on her to survive.
Because of what happened to me,
Mineko really hates you.
Did you stop studying astrophysics?
Yes.
I'm a teacher now.
Is it true?
How about you?
Why did you disappear for this past four years?
Do you still...
Well, on tomorrow's match.
What?
My sister might take me there to disturb you.
However, I want you to ignore me and fight for the game.
I've been thinking about a lot of things for the past four years.
However, I have forgotten it.
You did that because of your kindness, right?
However, sometimes your kindness...
...can cause problems.
Do not mind me.
I won't forgive you if you lose because of me.
Fight for yourself.
Win the game.
Okay. I will do my best.
- Hey! - You put in too much.
Sunao-kun.
Zero.
What smell is this?
We want you to have energy for tomorrow's match.
This is a Chanko-nabe setup which is overseen by the Zaizen Group sumo division.
However, after we put in a lot of ingredients, the results were too creative.
Delicious!
Guys, let's eat.
He brought her younger brother here?
Interesting.
You're in a hurry to conclude I'm dead, but I'll forgive you.
I'm sorry, sir!
I have a good idea.
I will give you the instructions tomorrow.
Instructions, sir?
Look forward to it.
The two of them...
...will really feel the torments of hell.
You will compete here.
Zero will become a billionaire.
I became tensed. My stomach hurts.
Did the others came home yesterday?
Come on.
We will be with you until the end.
Well.
Zero, The Bravest Money Game Stage 10
Through this way.
Sit on that chair.
Today, for the last time, I'll see your absolute forgiveness.
What match is this?
Poker.
Poker?
An unusual poker game with Dream Kingdom's original rule, Day and Night.
Day and Night?
Only 26 cards?
Only clubs and spades.
- The number of cards is only half of the 52 cards? - Yes.
Yours are clubs, the knowledge suit, and spades, the death suit.
Then...
...the other half, diamond, the wealth suit, and heart, the love suit, are mine.
Red and black suits; each symbolizes day and night.
We will compete using day and night in the game.
Her last match is a card game?
Really?
Hiroshi-san!
Everyone, crouch down!
Good, huh?
She said this is the last game, so, I'm worried about taking your risk in a dangerous game again.
Give your all on this!
You will become a billionaire if you win.
Shut up!
Drive away the others outside.
What? Wait!
Wait! Hey, what?
Hey, wait! You have your supporters here.
You can cheat whenever you want if you are alone.
I will be here to observe.
Then. fine.
- Hey, it hurts! - Hey. I want to stay.
- Wait. Hey! - Zero!
Okay, I'll let you know the rules.
Poker (Ranking from Highest to Lowest)
[1] Royal straight flush | [2] Straight flush | [3] Flush | [4] Straight [5] Two pairs | [6] One pair | [7] Ordinary cards
We will play for three rounds.
Use the 26 cards you have to determine your hand.
The hand you can get from 26 cards is,
...starting from the highest rank:
Royal straight flush,
Straight flush,
Flush,
Straight,
Two pairs,
One pair,
...and ordinary cards. There are seven.
You only have two suits, so there are no three-of-a-kind and full houses.
However, you can't get two of the same hand.
For example, in round one,
you can't get two royal straight flush hands.
Put your cards down so that your opponents won't see them.
Guess your opponent's hand like this.
If your hand is higher than your opponent's hand,
you will get points as big as the highest card in your hand.
If you win because of this pair, the highest card, eight, is the highest amount of points you get.
Other than that, as this is not "one", this is the highest number, "14".
Then, what if the players' second hand ranks the same?
In this game, the rank cannot be determined by a suit like in the regular poker, right?
The spade is the highest and the lowest is the club.
No, the suit is not ranked in this game.
If both hands rank the same, the attacker wins.
So, if you play your hands higher or the same as your opponent, you will get points.
For example if you play a royal straight flush against your opponent's royal straight flush, you win.
If so, because there is "ace" card, you will get 14 points.
In one round, the first and second hands will be played alternately,
then we open the last hand simultaneously.
The player with the highest score after three rounds will win.
However, if the three rounds results to tie, we will take a card from the top stack.
The one who gets a higher card will win.
Then, what about the dart board?
Can we open a card based on the hitted target on the dartboard?
Right.
That is clear.
You can throw two darts in rounds one and two.
In round three, you can throw three darts.
You can open your opponent's card that has the same number as you know.
Using darts that allows you to open your opponent's card is important for guessing your opponent's hand.
Yes.
We will determine who is the first hand.
Blue is Zero.
Red is me.
We are on the second hand.
The first and second hands will play alternately.
Round one starts now.
Arrange five hands.
I can't predict what card will be opened by playing darts,
but I will play it safely,
and look for a royal straight flush,
straight flush,
flush,
two pairs,
and one pair.
I'll use these five.
The first hand will play darts first.
Pay attention.
King and ace.
She immediately hit the crucial cards.
Hey!
Have you ever played poker?
-No. - What?
I have to master it when playing it.
Master it, you...
- Stupid! - Sorry.
"Round One, First Hand: Mineko"
Easy! "Round One, First Hand: Mineko"
Easy!
First hand benefits and I can see your king and ace there.
If both are here, that means, this is a royal straight flush.
As expected.
"Royal straight flush against royal straight flush"
My strongest royal straight flush lost...
...against another royal straight flush.
There is a king there.
That hand is a straight flush.
Then, the other means that that hand is flush, maybe?
He guessed my hand accurately.
If so, I will defeat your flush and that adds to my point.
She used her flush to defeat Zero's flush.
She has an ace, therefore the points increase by 14.
"Flush against flush"
"Round One, First Hand: Zero"
Now, you will be the one to attack. "Round One, First Hand: Zero"
In a situation like this, one thing I can believe is...
...that the hand there is one pair or two pairs.
Seeing from the card she uses...
"Remaining Card"
...one hand with five cards closed is a straight flush.
I will use my straight flush to fight it.
One of them is straight flush.
The probability is 50 percent.
Damn! Two pairs.
Damn.
You fought your precious straight flush against with my two-pairs hand.
"Two pairs against straight flush"
I beat two pairs and got 13 points.
However, the straight flush I should have defeated still exists.
You can't make two same hands, so he only has and a straight flush.
My left hand is one pair and two pairs.
Both of them can't beat straight flush.
So, what I can use is...
"One pair against two pairs"
That's all you can do.
However, the last hand...
"Straight flush against one pair"
Straight flush against one pair.
The points increase by 13.
Zero.
You're not good at playing poker?
There is a message from Zaizen-sama.
What?
If you lose this match,
Zaizen will kill your younger brother as a punishment.
Because you want to avenge your brother,
you cling to his holy dream Kingdom as a bet,
so he is to punish you surely.
What's the problem?
What's going on?
Zaizen-sama asks you not to tell Zero or let him realize it.
Let's go outside and breathe some fresh air.
What? But...
Hey, Zero!
- Zero? - Zero, are you still alive?
How's the match?
I'm very worried.
Come on, open the door.
- What? - Where are they going?
Strolling?
Sorry to say but where are we going?
He takes Mitsuru away.
It's okay. I have 19 points more.
If I win, when Zero is the first hand after this,
I will be the first hand in the next round...
...and I will benefit from it.
I can definitely win.
It's not.
This man never gave up under any circumstances.
He will attack.
We will be the first hand in round two.
King and queen. Nice.
I have mastered it.
"Round Two, First Hand: Zero"
I recommend that you first throw away the royal straight flush, "Round Two, First Hand: Zero"
I recommend that you first throw away the royal straight flush,
...but is that a heart or diamond hand?
The heart's hand is a royal straight flush, right?
What?
What makes you sure?
In ordinary poker games, hearts are higher than diamonds.
Suit is not important in this game,
but you still choose your heart as if you are used to gambling.
She chose a higher suit because of that habit?
It's just a hunch.
My guess is correct.
Damn it!
"Royal straight flush against royal straight flush"
Then, this hand is a straight flush.
Straight flush against straight flush.
We have higher points now.
Don't panic. I can recover when I will attack in round two.
"Round Two, Second Hand: Mineko"
It's my turn to play.
I will use my flush to defeat your flush.
"Flush against flush"
After he uses a royal straight flush...
...and a straight flush...
...as the others can give him a lot of points,
then, obviously he will use it to the flush,
the third highest hand.
However, two separate Seven makes it difficult to guess.
I have a straight and one pair,
but his hand may be a straight and one pair too.
In that case...
It's not! That's a one pair.
"Straight against one pair"
You waste a straight hand.
And my remaining hand is...
Straight against one pair.
I will get the highest points with my straight flush, which is nine points.
One pair against straight.
Six points lower. You may be able to catch it up.
I have to get out of this situation.
Zero tries hard too...
...without knowing his friend will die if he wins.
Before I accept you to inherit...
...100 trillion yen of my dirty assets as the successor to the Zaizen Group,
I will kill your heart first.
What's this all about?
Will you kill me?
That's boss's order.
As a punishment for your sister if she loses in the game.
Is that it?
That means...
...if Zero wins, I'll die, right?
You're right. That's boss's order.
Do not blame me.
Does Zero know about this?
No. Nobody will tell him.
Zero might win.
Zero Ukai makes you feel weak?
No.
We used to be friends.
Stop being a hypocrite.
Leave me.
You made me lose my dream and everything.
Never appear before me again!
However, when I saw my legs were disabled,
sometimes, my feet reminded me of my feelings at that time.
Maybe...
...I haven't really forgiven him.
If Zero wins, I'll be able to make it...
...and experience something painful again.
We were second hand in round three...
...and clearly didn't benefit from it.
What would you do?
If I make a standard hand...
and throw darts in the place I want,
he can't have more points than me.
We will throw three darts in this last round.
King, queen and ace.
Now, I can clearly guess...
...the highest level of his, royal straight flush.
I can't be defeated.
"Round Three, First Hand: Mineko"
Obviously, that is your royal straight flush.
What? Ordinary card?
Yes, this is an ordinary card disguised as a royal straight flush.
You made him remove his strongest hand for an ordinary card.
What is this man thinking?
"Royal straight flush against ordinary cards"
No. I opened the card normally, but I still got points.
I can now win easily if I play calmly.
As the highest value, I have to get rid of the hand that has the ace.
Wait.
As the king and queen of spades are not in the same hand,
So, there is an impossible hand, the royal straight flush.
However, it may be possibly a straight flush.
I will lose if I use a flush.
The most possible straight flush is the hand with the king and queen.
This time, I'll get rid of his straight flush with my straight flush.
I got you!
What?
This is the hand of one pair disguised as a straight flush.
What?
The probability of your accuracy to the target is very high,
so, I can guess what card will be opened.
We got three darts in round three and I was the second hand.
I seemed to be at a disadvantage,
but this is the perfect time to make a trap...
...with the card you opened.
"Straight flush against one pair"
"Third Round, Second Hand: Zero"
Now, as the second hand, I will start to attack. "Third Round, Second Hand: Zero"
Now, as the second hand, I will start to attack.
First...
That hand is flush.
You want to get rid of my flush with it, but it doesn't work.
Zero removes her flush by also his flush.
"Flush against flush"
Then...
That hand is straight.
There are seven and eight in both, what makes you sure?
You arrange the cards from big to small starting from the right.
I realized it in the first round.
It shows when you reveal your hand.
So, the card on the far right must be nine.
Then, I'll compare the hand with my reliable card.
No way!
I'll beat your straight hands.
My straight flush hand is here.
"Straight against straight flush"
Mitsuru will die!
And my remaining card is...
Excuse me.
No!
"One pair against two pairs"
Tie?
So, the winner will be determined by taking a card from above.
This is ridiculous.
A winner that will be determined based on luck? This is just gambling!
What?
That's what you asked us to do. Damn it.
Then,
I'll take a card first.
Now...
...it's your turn.
Zero lost?
What?
You almost died.
Zero lost the match?
I'll never let you save my life!
Never appear before me again!
I promise I'll come back to help you.
Mitsuru!
Zero!
I told you not to care about me.
However, you really came to save me.
Mitsuru.
Thank you!
Hear me for a second.
I will say something surprising.
What?
You purposely lost the match, right?
What?
That's because you arranged your card like that in round three.
You make straight flushes from four to eight.
However, if arranged a little bit, you can arrange it from five to nine.
If you do that, you have nine points instead of eight,
you will win by 92 against 91, rather than a tie.
Do not tell me you don't know that.
You can find out from her behavior, right?
That something will happen to Mitsuru.
The last card is also a simple trick.
I see it.
You hid two cards in the palm of your hand.
You pretend to take a card and put it on top.
You took the card above, so Mineko Goto took the next card.
No, I'm just not lucky.
Oh! Zero!
How did the match go?
Sorry, I lost.
You must be kidding!
My best friend!
You lose?
Too bad, you lost.
You almost became a billionaire!
Let's work hard again.
What? Work hard?
Hey.
He lost, but why is he so happy?
Because he is really a fool.
"A Year Later"
One, two, lift!
Okay.
- The weight! - Straight ahead.
I have the toughest side.
Put it down.
A short break.
One two.
Okay.
Hey, you are too slow.
- Sorry. - Sorry.
These three fools are useless.
Sorry.
After the Dream Kingdom, we return to our everyday lives.
By the way,
I saw it on the news...
...Mineko Goto became the chairman of the Zaizen Group?
Because she defeated Zero and therefore became the successor.
However, the real chairman is still Zaizen.
As what Yuki-kun said.
I don't know why can he work at Zaizen Group.
He was forced to pay his debt.
He said Kuroda interviewed him for the job.
He is really determined.
He is handsome and capable.
- Did you just talk about yourself? - What?
Everyone, just rest. Work it out.
-Yes, Sir. - Well.
Good morning, President Goto.
Good morning.
The top card is the king of clubs,
but if I do this...
You hid the card in the palm of your hand.
You see it today.
What?
Excuse me.
Thank you for buying!
Thanks. Take the chance!
Welcome!
I suggest Lunch Box Zero Zero which has a lot of fish so you will become smarter.
What kind of name is that?
Seigi! Why are you dressing like that?
-I'm looking for a job. - Find a job? You?
You don't have a gang yourself.
Are there even companies that want to recruit presumptuous people like you?
What? Shut up!
- What is this? - Stop it!
Nobody wants to know your recommendations!
They know what I recommend! What are you doing, damn you?
Who knows whether your food is clean or not?
Don't say that in front of the health center!
What? Is this okay? Don't say that in front of the health center!
What? Is this okay?
"National Ranking, 1st"
"Name, Shirube"
Dinner is ready!
Come here.
You eat melon bread again before eating meal, huh?
Eat the green peppers.
You're smart but you have to learn manners.
Okay.
Hold your chopsticks correctly.
Balance: 90,400,000 Yen
We already used ten billion yen.
We share it with many people.
Don't worry, we'll use it according to Zero's instructions.
Thre's still much remaining.
I think I can take 20,000 or 30,000 yen?
I want to buy a bicycle.
You can't.
Right.
It belongs to good thief's funds but it's actually Zero's money.
"Zero Ukai"
However, I still feel strange.
What?
Zaizen gave Zero 100 billion yen as the prize he got with Zero's four rings.
So, as for Zaizen, 100 billion is just a meaningless number.
It seems like he hasn't given up wanting Zero to be his successor.
No way! We don't want to go through that again.
Talking about Zero, where is he?
I think there's a lot of work in the laboratory.
"Astrophysics Research Laboratory Zero Ukai"
Did you check out my email?
Hold on.
A signal from outer space?
NASA secretly analyzed it.
Got to go.
This...
We will have problems if I don't solve this now.
This is a fictional drama.
The End
