Different audio on this one, what do you think?
Have a damn good day
Edit: Thank you for the feedback!!
You have a damn good day too
You too
and you
ah a self pin this time, also you too
I think it sounds worse than usual, had to compare with a different video to see if it was just in my mind.
I feel better since I’m mentally prepared for an exam, a debt game, some ghosts, escape rooms, zombie outbreaks, a zombie outbreak on a train, death games, a death game I’m in because someone browsed my search histories and turned me into a cat, and how to beat literally a killer running into my apartment. Might I say I’m slightly prepared?
"someone browsed my search histories and turned me into a cat" what movie are yourefering to here?
He thought he was prepared...
And that was his biggest mistake

You're not prepared when your mom sees your chrome history

So let me get this straight. She goes to the police, and the cop is like "Oh I can't help you. Maybe talk to a convict, he might be useful."
I'm hoping he's in on the game. Because eh???

dont be alarmed lol in other countries this may happen
In the Manga, it was a lawyer not a cop.

Facts
So...if she had just taken the money, no questions asked, no tape watched, could this have been avoided?
Yes
probably not they knew where she lived so… and could possibly track her down if the money had some tracking device or smth idk
To be fair it was different in the manga. Originally you accept to participate the moment you open the box.
Technically even after watching the tape she didn't have to go
I think so too but at the same time the curiosity would take the best of you thinking who left that money and why and eventually she would had watched the video and be entered into the game sooner or later.
I watched this show on Crunchyroll. The sheer stupidity of the main character makes me really angry BUT the games are really well made and the other characters are interesting enough to keep you entertained.
You mean the girl? She gets better in the manga
@@meid789 Yep the girl. Akiyama is just a bit overpowered. But the girl just makes irrationally angry.
@@meid789 not saying your wrong, but I love how often this is said when referring to anime lol
if i may add, her dutzy character is what carries her throughout the manga and at the end we found out that she is the answer to the Liar Game, by essentially never lying and being pure she breaks the lying chain in liar game
@@Lawlietsherpa I get that. It also shows that on the show. But my problem is that there is so much purity before it becomes annoying.
I wish the game never forced her into playing originally, she just kinda accidentally joined up without any knowledge before hand. I think it would have been more impactful, and make her character multidimensional if she knew the risks before hand and joined the lair game anyway.
Yes like squid game
The character dynamic between the two main leads is what makes Liar Game good. Also, the brain aching games and strats this story haf
Spoiler:
Youll witness the dumb girl (Nao) , who let's her emotion control reactions slowly turn more like Akiyama and vice versa.
XD sorry I'm just a huge fan of this Manga and got so excited
@@nolsjawline I only saw a glimpse of this in the liar game movie. Golden apple.
It was the best show I watched
No one forced her. Some weirdo send her cash and a tape, that's NOT a contract.....Could have left the country with the cash, or use it or do whatever. Watching a tape is in no way shape or form = contract.
If it was that easy, banks/loan sharks would be mailing 1 mil random people + a tape and the moment the person watches it - he owns the 1 mil + 20% as a loan....
@@cl1cka yes but she didn’t know what she was getting into. It would have been better (to a western audience) if she knew the true gravity of the situation and went with greed over her, or someone else’s well-being. Just because no one put a gun in her mouth and told her to play doesn’t mean it’s not still a weak plot device. (Usually) the plot should not push the characters, the characters should push the plot. I’m not trying to attack the show in anyway, the lack of character development is probably a cultural difference. A lot of times in anime’s or Japanese/Korean shows characters have little character development (and sometimes motive), the evil characters are evil and the courageous and selfless characters a courageous and selfless. A lot of times in western media this is a sign of weak writing but this is usually not the case in eastern media.
With the validity that Cinema Summary calls out the absurdities in these crazy scenarios every time, I am starting to speculate that he should have the 1,000,000, instead.
Somebody get ahold of Mr. Beast. We found a contestant for his next challenge.
He has “Stanley parable narrator” energy
I think we all can agree that he wouldn't be doing that in real life.
I imagine that he spends like atleast 15hours just with one video so he doesn't say anything stupid
@@chocobug0 then don't watch it bruh?
True
I've read the manga and I honestly don't mind Nao and her willingness tp help others trope. Sure it is not necessarily ideal for the Liar Game but it kind of makes Akiyama's strategies more impressive, having to circumnavigate around Nao's principles and all of that.
I still want Cinema Summary to make a movie like this and have a character that isn't stupid.
Have a damn good day
If cinema summary makes a movie it will end in 5 minutes
@@xadrianong7289 intro and outro is 4 mins so the movie itself would be 1 min
"I choose to not play."
And that was their biggest success.
I wouldn't say it'd be the same. Liar Game choose Nao because she was stupid. That is the whole point of the show.
@@lemonke5341 lemme guess:
Sketchy dude: wanna play?
Cinema Summ character: naaah
After hearing the rules, I think the best option would be to give each other the money so we technically ‘stole’ the other persons money. In the rules, it doesn’t say you keep what you save, just what you steal, so the best solution is to use the million yen to trade for the other persons yen. This also has the be if it if not making enemies, as everyone’s happy
This strategy won't really work, it will only be the same as if both players didn't play at all.
The video has a very simplified version of the rules.
In the show, it is stated that the player with the most money at the end will win. The Liar Game Agency will take back 100 million yen from each player, the winner keeping their excess and the loser being in debt for the amount they cannot pay back.
So if the players trade their money with each other, it will be treated as if there was no change at all and the game ends in a tie with nobody winning any money.
It is kinda the point of the Manga. If EVERYONE works together, all of them CAN make out of it. All of the games are in fact tailored in this fashion.
And then, human greed entered the chat
That's honestly pretty legit however I think the hosts wouldn't allow it.
@@whenevertheycatchyou5442 I thought it said it would take whatever they had left of the orginal money. a full swap would leave them both with the 100k wouldn't it?
Lol you're trusting that the other person would also give you their money to complete the exchange basically still heuristic thinking But most importantly to WIN the conditions clearly stated to win you must have a total of 2 million yen! you return 1 million and keep the other. Your strategy doesn't satisfy the winning conditions for the game, it just induces a draw which already even exists without your idea of trading
i enjoy the movie and the solving of the movies problem but the fact you bring up real life psychology is the golden ticket. sent me down a rabbit hole on heuristic thinking.
good stuff.
also the probabilities, statistics, and the economics stuff is also another route for me!
I love how the real lessons Cinema Summary teaches us aren't really how to survive dangerous situations (which he does do) but that we shouldn't be too trusting towards strangers, because we never know what their real motivations are. Which is a damn good lesson. Have a damn good day!

Man, you might never see this message, but it's been a while now that I wanted you to know about it.
You really helped me a lot during a period I was so depressed and had practically no will to survive. One day I stumbled over your "as the gods will" video. I enjoyed it a lot and watched all of your videos. Funny enough, it gave me some determination to live because I knew that if I had to face a life or death situation, I'd be willing to survive no matter what. Since then, I've been so excited waiting for that cinema summary notification.

I'm having Danganronpa flashbacks about Celeste Ludenbergs back story. of how she won a tournament of liars putting all the other opponents penniless
You're right, I always thought that the Celeste's backstory could be even more interesting than Danganronpa itself, lol, it could even her own manga! ♠♥♣♦
Ludenburnt is turning into a movie :O
@@caranostalgico9249 Well, didn’t she lie about being in and winning the liar game?
@@sensitiivv_ Who knows for sure anything about that girl? She says she won other competitions who are direct references to mangas but is she making this up, or the writers of Danganronpa are just using references in the game? All I know is that if she were in the Liars Game and won her nickname of Queen of Liars is well deserved! ^o^
@@caranostalgico9249 I wouldn’t say so if she got exposed that easily.
This show has an organization that can actually make a profit. People fight over cash and when the fight is done, the winners profit while the losers get debt. If that debt is obtained by any means nessecary, the organization has reached equilibrium. If the winners want to drop out, they must pay back some of their winnings or all of it, so the organization gets a profit.
Economy noises
that's not correct. Imagine you have only 2 players and you give 5 dollars to each one. you are 10 dollars down. Then one of them steals the money of the other, wins the game, gets to keep his 10 dollars, and the loser pays you the 5 dollars he owes you. You still end up 5 dollars in the negative.
After everyone pays you what they owe, you always end up having to pay 1 of the players his initial cash.
@@neveSykcuL You give each player 10 dollars.You are down 20.After the game ends,you take 10 from the winner while extorting another 10 from the loser..Then if the winner wants to drop out,you take half his earnings..So in the end you make +5 dollars =profit.The rules are clear,the organization profits when the winner(s) decides to drop out.
@@neveSykcuL the winner needs to keep playing to the end (ie more debt games)
@@neveSykcuL that only happens when winners keep playing.
I'm glad I can basically watch movie recaps with your vids because man the premise would be triggering me. Watching a VHS tape that you don't know the contents of means you agree to terms it has yet to say. Money isn't stolen if it's sent to you by name, gotta remember to mail myself the money I steal from a bank.
If you watch the other movies ud be ever more triggered
14:00 No. The young lady can't stop playing. But, the conman can stop playing. The conman isn't technically a player. So he could have walked away until he went to stop the young lady from playing and became a player that way. 30:00 So another player having your name plate doesn't prevent your vote from being counted. So the strategy of stealing someone's nameplate to nullify their vote wouldn't work. So stealing someone else's nameplate would be pointless unless you could get it off of the premises.
Also, there is a much simpler way to beat the Liar Game than anything that you laid out: Lawyer Up. No court would say that watching a video tape constitutes agreeing to a contract when you were not given any warning to that effect. So keep the initial cash, find a good contract lawyer, and beat the game's organizers in court.
Also, "The only winning move is not to play." and other such memeworthy phrases.
you think the court would agree to you when it was implied it was the government behind it?
That iconic music will never be forgotten
whenever he says this person is a complete "idiots" i guess can't stop but laugh. it gets me every time.
She was called "stupidly naive" like a 1000 times in the show. She was created to be dumb. Her not being dumb would ruin the entire premise of the show
Can we get a video where the main character isn't the dumbest thing alive?
Edit: glad we`re using game theory as a reference for your research.
Alice in borderlands mc is pretty smart
@@OhJinwaves Yep he's quite smart (based on the show not the manga cause I never read it). Can't wait for Season 2 to release
This show brings me back so many memories. I watched this when it was released back in the day. I watched it while learning Japanese and it was certainly an experience.
If I remember correctly there was even a movie of this show as well.
I wonder how many people just remember the things you tell them rather than learning the lesson you are teaching. The idea isn't to teach others how to get out of specific scenarios, it's to teach them how they need to look at things if they end up in a bad spot.
Well, the main purpose is entertainment, but the lesson is still there.
I love the archetype of characters like Shinichi Akiyama. They get away with everything using their cunningness and there's nothing anyone can do about it. Anyway, this story is an interesting twist, since usually death games are analyzed on this channel, but this is a _debt_ game! It seems like this video doesn't show the end of the story, so I wonder what happens next.
All seasons of Liar Game are truly brilliant and if you watch through you begin to realize why Nao is written the way she is. The whole point actually is if people calmed down and stopped being greedy they'd realize they don't need to play against each other but that the real person they need to beat are the game organizers by working together. Almost every game in the show can end with everyone working together and paying each other's debt
@@v.i.pthatsgotbts256 Neat. 🌟
This is my favorite manga. I revisit it once in a while. There is usually a way out for them in every game as long as they're willing to corporate. They're Zero Sum games after all. But no one trusted anyone, their hatred tw each other grew bigger when they entered more rounds. However, there's one person who always kept her words, never betrayed, and accepted anyone who wanted to join her. That's Nao. She never changed her belief in human, and she did become smarter throughout the process while trying not to harm anyone with the help of Akiyama, who trusted no one ever except for himself. Everyone realized that they could at least trust Nao for once, and they kinda broke the cycle. I never hate Nao in the manga, she's annoying at first purely because she doesn't understand how this cruel world works, but she's really someone we wanna root for.
Great video. Fantastic games.
That said, as an avid fan of the Liars game series I just wish I didn’t have to brace myself for the comments being entirely about how dumb the MC is and not(not in the show as much, so this doesn’t really apply here) her massive growth or the reason why she’s that naive.
But Akyama literally would not help her if she wasn’t this pure, and people like her exist, so watching her growth over the manga was fun. Going from the type of person to return a quarter to the police(her character intro), to someone who could play serious personality games without Akyama, you just had to not mind the beginning.
Plus, great games, just fantastic games.
I actually had the exact personality as Nao in the very beginning of the liar game. I didn't know it at the time though, yes, I was that naieve and pure, which honestly looking back was sad.
Anyways, in my early adulthood/college years I met a sly trickster and got a lesson of my life.
I'm changed now and not as naive.
The real winners are the ones that won the first game gave back half the money and walked away with 500k
I love Liar Game, I've watched the entirity of the series including the movie and honestly I was surprised how the ending turned out, but I enjoyed all the deception and the strategies Akiyama came up with
The way to win this is easy. A VCR video, not in writing, cannot force consent, and is not legally binding. By watching the VCR tape, it does not force you to participate in the game because it is not legally binding. You did not sign a contract. You did not even verbally agree. You will win 100% of court cases with this problem.
If the game can afford to skew and involve police officers what makes you think you’re safe in judges hands?
@@valley2129 they have agents and billions of yens to piss away, I'd be surprised if they even went through courts and didn't just send two goons to break your family member's kneecaps or something, being untouchable by law.
@@valley2129
I been trying to think of a way to argue this, and I can't think of one realistically, because money does actually just rule the world.
If you brought it up and made a public ordeal of it, most of society would side with you and call it injustice, but you would just be silenced, and media would be paid off to make you look like the villain.
Of course, there's no 100% guarantee this will happen either, so it's worth a try to bring it up with the court. Worst they can do is make you honour the tape, which is happening in the film anyway.
I hope we get a part 2!!
Also, Mr. Summary, have you considered playing Survivor? I think you would win for sure!
He wouldn't. He would go"ok pause and then give put thebsteategy lol
where can I watch Survivor from Asia?

Glad to see more people see it.
I like the manga better but Mabye since I watched it first.
I practically devoured the manga when it came out and when I heard there was a show, I immediately watched every single episode of both seasons

A customer left their name card in my office the other day, the card is black and only has a symbol on one side and a QR code on the other, at first I was confused and about to scan the QR code but then I heard Cinema Summary "and that was his biggest mistake" voice on the back of my head and I was "Nah I'm good man, I ain't fooled like those MC in most battle royale story" proceed to give the card to my boss
The card QR code actually leads to a local wine website but I'm paranoid and there are like 100 scenarios playing in my head
I feel very Prepared for any death game now
i would recommend everyone watching this that if you liked Liar Game, you should go for the manga, the movie has many things that are different from the manga and the overall character development, the reason behind the guy helping the helpless girl is explained and in more detail
Hell yes a new cinema summary video! Gotta get my popcorn ready ^^
I got popcorn!
The sound was perfect! You teach me so much, I learn so much from your videos (in this case, game theory), I feel pretty confident I can survive any situation, all thanks to you!

I'd recommend it! At least the second season! It gets really good
@@armellebiampamba4257 OK give this a go
one of my favorite mangas of all time, really interesting to see how the live action changed a lot of details
such as the lawyer is now a cop, nao doesn't need to convince akiyama as hard as before, akiyama not being a master disguiser, fukunaga not being a woman (which made akiyama team up with all the womans instead), and the suspicious person being a man.
also really don't like how the dealers looks like a budget saw doll instead of a proud arrogant godlike figure with the mask
This one is special. Liar game is one of the best shows out there.
When Akiyama is the "main character". When it's the girl, it's absolutely aggravating.
@@youtube-kit9450 I think she serves her purpose well! If you think in terms of Liar game, she's actually the smartest player
@@armellebiampamba4257 from what I read, her being "pure" (aka gullible moronic and stupid af) was actually pivotal to the story later. Imo doesn't excuse that that part of the story could've been easily rewritten to not be stuck with such a terrible to witness character for the story until then. Heck, her just being the sidekick comic relief who turns out to be super important would imo have also worked out way better than her being the MC knowing the story of this vid and the apparent end game twist.
@@youtube-kit9450 that's actually exactly what happens! Have you read the manga because if you haven't she becomes a boss later 😂

Hey cinema summary I got a challenge for ya
How to beat the cult in apostle, especially when you consider they have a supernatural way of using blood to force feed the goddess to make their crops and vegetation grow, also it’ll be interesting to see you cover how Thomas can fight the cult, get over his drug addiction and what else he can use to help make the town turn against the leaders
How to beat resident evil welcome to raccoon city, especially when you consider how there’s zombie dogs, lickers and mutations of creatures that can tank bullets and what else the team could’ve done and used in the mansion scene especially when they got swamped and had automatic rifles like MP5s instead of pistols
How to beat the shallows, especially since the shark seems to have a vengeance on the girl for trespassing on his eating ground, especially with a large whale floating around for him to eat, and that what else can we do to prevent dehydration and what can we eat to get enough energy
How to beat bone tomahawk, the killers are inbred cannibal Indians called Triloboites, not only are they stealthy but they’re big and good at sneak attacks, it’ll also be interesting to see what we can do and what weapons and survival kit we’ll need to survive the Wild West
How to beat the devils rejects, seeing a family of crazy lunatics who love to kill and rape others, it’ll be interesting to see how you’ll let the police handle this and what the family did especially with their handmade armor and what else could the sheriff and the band have done to survive and take down their attackers
bruh, I'm pretty certain if we all got good in Statistics, Probabilities, economics, and psychology, we would survive (heck even avoid) being stuck in these death games altogether.
I love how cinema summery prepares me for situations I will never be in.

I made this strategy when I was 9 years old and I was surprised no one used it in split or steal I'm glad they used the strategy for a gameshow
I cannot believe that a show got all the way through the production pipeline with a premise so flawed that it could be nullified entirely with a single sentence
There's a Korean version of this show and it makes a lot more sense. In the Korean version, the game is a TV show that everyone joins, so they know it's a legit game. The con man in the Korean version also explains how to win the same way this video does, so trusting him isn't a stupid decision. It's interesting to watch this video having only seen the Korean version. I'd definitely recommend that one more than the Japanese one ^^
Because youre bias thats why

How to beat (formerly cinema summary):
„No one spends that much money without getting anything in return.“
Mrbeast:
I am about to ruin this whole mans career.
Best way to beat the game.
With the initial money, invest it i to several different stocks. Choose safe ones that are rising slowly and steadily. At the end of the month sell it all, keep the profits.
Since you physically don't have the money, it will be extremely difficult for the opponent to steal it. If you play it safe you'll get a few thousand dollars profit, if you take a bit of a risk, you could end up with a bigger profit, but might lose some of it if a stock drops.
So I'd play it safe, no reason to be greedy.
I once went to this field trip at school and played a game there, the rule was that we had to point to someone on the count of 3, if that person was pointing to you then your both out. My 10 yr mind found out that if I announced the person I was gonna pick then they won’t pick me. This is how I won 3 - 5 rounds straight and earned reasonable annoyance from my classmates
I love liar game. The ending wasn't to my taste but I really enjoyed both the manga and drama. For anyone who doesn't know of the story, it's important to know that Nao is trusting and honest to a fault, which is why she just went along with the teacher
Akiyama aka "The Conman" was the mvp here. I know he wasn't technically an official player, but he was the best at the game.
For the first game, I'd buy a single small diamond with all that money as soon as possible, that would obviously be much easier to protect than a huge pile of cash.
I really loved the manga.. i don't know if this is explained in the movie but nao is a very honest girl. And her extreme honesty is the reason akiyama helped her..

It's not a movie, but I think that the games are pretty smart, like the ones you cover, and the contestants often come up with some really clever strategies.

This is my all time favourite Japanese drama. I rewatch both seasons and the movie whenever I feel down.
Would love if you make a part 2 of this covering the other games.

Of all the life-ruining games of betrayal featured on this channel, the one featured in this show seems to be the most corny and written for young teens.
- Of course the con man emerged from the grit and ruthlessness of jail with perfectly styled and dyed hair looking like a boy band member.
- Storytelling elements to establish his prodigy-level smarts and cunning include: his brooding demeanor, his sexy mysteriousness, his smug stare through his luscious locks, and having other characters react to literally everything he says with confused awe.
- The teacher stole millions from homegirl and the game rules allows them to fight or even kill each other, but both parties just sit across the street from with binoculars for days like they're in Home Alone.
- Everyone playing is desperate to the point of being willing to throw their lives away for the cash and the game allows everyone to do anything including kill to win, yet the near dozen players in the "alliance" are only worried about a woman who once stole some money and are outright terrified of her for no reason.
- Bowl-cut nerd swindled the cheque from quitter girl by taking it out of her hands and strutting away in broad daylight. Yet, quitter girl never noticed his male build, male voice or 5 o'clock shadow.
And yet it is still the best of mind game/gambling show he's ever covered. Manga is much better though
Fun Fact:
Liar Game is ALSO one of the many inspirations behind Squid Game alongside Kaiji and others
(The creator confirmed himself)
Really? Wow
Liar Game is better than Squid Game trash- fight me
@@carealoo744 I won't because we all have our opinions
@@z.o.a.r.7813 Squid Game makes you distrust humanity. Liar Game is all about learning to trust
@@carealoo744 I understand! And honestly it IS better, that's why no one will fight you because even if they don't think so you have your opinion and, to me, it makes sense.
One of my top favorite youtubers no doubt
This is an older series… but I really like the live version even though the manga and anime were cool too. I remember the over top scenes and acting lol but overall, it really did have a good lesson…and well, I’m a sucker for satisfying endings
It doesn't have a manga though
bro post more often your videos are AWSOME keep it up
After i get the money i wil invest the money in the scp foundation to protect me from that tournament
Fair enough
That seems like a risky investment... but it's a possibility.
The manga for this was my introduction to the entire death game/high stakes game genre so it was weirdly nostalgic watching this (though I've never seen the live action version)
I only watch you because 1, you actually state facts, and two, your videos are long which give more and better content!
I love this manga! I hope this gets a part 2 (and more)!
cinema guy is a perfect for the saying "taking the talk not walking the walk" easy to say mate hard to do in the situation .
switching the mail and hiring a imposter is a big brain play ngl
Akiyama's deduction in the second round to secure a winner was nicely worked out, but I think the mind games played in the final vote is the best, and a very smart move. However, he could've been beaten, and that's by his own strategy. If only two out of the remaining three players colluded for one to vote yes and the other to vote no, this could've forced Akiyama to lose eventually, even if hit a tie again.
Between the three, it would make the most sense for the girl and the non-thief guy to work together for this strategy to secure a likely win. The thief is clearly not trustworthy, so no one should be working with him, and Akiyama definitely won't work together with him, so they won't know what each other are voting, that means if the girl and the non-thief guy voted opposites, by probability, eventually Akiyama and the thief will eventually vote the same, which will make them lose. In the last round, since Akiyama already voted no and they all know it, logically speaking, the thief would vote yes for a higher chance to win, and with this knowledge, if the other two colluded and tied the votes, unless Akiyama pulls this trick every time, in which it would look stupid and the best case scenario for him is a non-stop cycle of ties, it would eventually slip up. Of course, if he's going to do this every time, then it becomes obvious the girl and the non-thief are working together. So while this was smart, it really could've turned against him. I suppose on learning the girl and the non-thief are working together, he could do the same trick one last time and sway one of them to betray the other and share the money, but it's a risk for two or three rounds potentially.
But it's shown in the video that Akiyama and the woman were working together from the start, so this hypothetical situation wouldn't happen. Plus, working with Akiyama is much better than working with Etou (Non-thief) since she will have to split the money with whoever she teams up with, and Akiyama's strategy of her tricking Etou and Fukunaga is much more reliable than doing the split vote strategy and putting the game into a stalemate where eventually new methods must be made.

I don't know if they're working from the start, as I didn't watch the movie/series. From this clip though, it looks like they only colluded towards the end, with Akiyama giving her his name plate.
The girl needs to split the money now anyway. I suppose if Akiyama intended to continue, her winnings has doubled, assuming if she or Etou would have quit after winning.
The girl could've easily betrayed them all as well. If she casts two no votes for the other two and a yes vote for herself, she would still win. If she quit, she would get the same amount as working with Akiyama, who wants to continue, I suppose, but then working with Akiyama makes more sense as it'll take the target off her back. I'm just assessing from Akiyama's perspective though. What he did was smart, but it still could've backfired. After all, he can't guarantee the girl would work with him.
@@DanteLovesPizza I watched the show. Akiyama and the woman were working together from the start. Akiyama knew that Fukunaga would tell her to vote the same as him in order to stay in the game and take make everyone focus their suspicions on her instead of him, so he planned out the final trick with her before the game started in case Fukunaga was really the thief.
Also, in the show, Fukunaga and Etou only pass over their "Yes" cards to the woman so they can be assured that she won't make them vote for anything else. The video doesn't mention it.
Point is, Akiyama's move couldn't have backfired because he had already planned everything and promised to give the woman more than half of the prize money so that she could pay the drop-out fee and give the remainder to her teammates as per their contract. The woman would gain nothing from betraying Akiyama because his plan is more reliable and ends up getting her more money than if she worked with someone else or tried to win alone.

That's fair, I'm only commenting based on the information in the video.
Second point though, still not fool proof and now leaves a bit of confusion, again, probably because I didn't watch this. In the video, they say they intend to tie the game, now, if Fukunaga and Etou only hand her the yes cards, to avoid this kind of betrayal, they could've asked her to give them her yes card, and that way, she can't betray them. Also, why did they give her the yes card? According to their strategy, because she wants to advance, therefore she needs to be the winner, shouldn't they give her their no cards and take away her no card, which means she will win alone and she can only cast no votes for them with Akiyama's? What was the point of causing a tie if their intention was to let her win, so that she could split the winnings between other players and advance herself?
It still could have backfired. Like I said, if they had taken away her yes card, i.e. she only had the two yes cards from Fukunaga and Etou and her own no card, it will be forced to draw. This would still end up in a repetitive cycle with Akiyama constantly ending in a draw at best. If she refuses, it becomes obvious, so Akiyama could still be stuck, theoretically speaking.
It was then that the game masters learned that they had just give away a bunch of money in round one because no one has VCRs anymore.
How to beat “Liar Game”

2 be a con man
Tkmodachi game enters the arena
yo yo yo, idk if u take recommendations but either way i would love to see your take on "poseidon". lets say its similar to titanic.
and because im a freak i like to watch movies that includes my biggest fears.
If they make another movie as a sequel you definitely have to do a part 2! Also I feel like this game was so much more wholesome than the others on this channel because nobody is dying haha
BABE WAKE UP, CINEMA SUMMARY POSTED!!

Everytime this guy says game theory I immediately think of matpat🤣
