Accounting for this fatal flaw is where forming friendships and other alliances at the school works to Mary's advantage. Even when she does consider all cheating possibilities, she's rarely right in her assessments of her opponents and moderators, which is how she always ends up losing the first round before bouncing back in the second. Unfortunately, despite Mary's winning confidence, knowing how to cheat and take calculated risks doesn't mean she can account for how her opponents and even game moderators will cheat. Of course, Mary also never plays by the rules and always cheats to secure her winning chances. In every game she plays, Mary is highly adept at calculating various probabilities in her head and takes calculated risks based on which numbers give her the highest winning chance. The third trait is Mary’s ability to make allies with whomever she chooses and play whomever she feels will be most advantageous to her.Īll three of Mary's best traits are on full display in Kakegurui Twin when she accepts challenges from various classmates - including members of the Student Council like Aoi Miboumi and even its president Sachiko Juraku, the primary series villain. As a newly transferred first-year student, Mary possesses three traits that help her thrive at her new school, two of which she's already famous for in the main series: intelligence and the ability to take calculated risks as a cheater. Given the reputation Mary had prior to the events of Kakegurui: Compulsive Gambler, it does beg the question of how she climbed the ranks at the school to become a top gambler in the first place.įortunately for Mary Saotome fans, Kakegurui Twin depicts how she built her reputation and survived her first year at Hyakkaou. After that humiliating defeat, she was temporarily relegated to the status of house pet. Mary Saotome is an overconfident gambler at Hyakkaou Private Academy who eventually broke her hot streak when she challenged Yumeko Jabami to a game of jankenpon. The following contains spoilers for Kakegurui Twin Episodes 1-6, now streaming on Netflix.
