Lost in Translation was not mentioned.

Added DiffLines:

* LostInTranslation: The nickname assigned to Nao during the Pandemic Game is occasionally translated as "The Only Girl" or "The Chick". However, in the following Steal-a-Chair Game, the nickname stays in use, despite three other women participating. While the nickname in the original Japanese, "Single Red Flower" (紅一点), ''can'' mean "single woman in a crowd of men", it is also a literary term used for things that stands out in a sea of homogenous things (like a single red flower in a field of grass), referencing her overwhelmingly honest and selfless nature in strong contrast to the cold, deceitful and selfish cast.

Added DiffLines:

* RedFlagRecreationMaterial: The villainous Yokoya is shown to be reading Hitler's ''Literature/MeinKampf'' while he was being recruited into the game. He then criticizes the dictator, not because of his atrocities or his ideals, but because he committed suicide and failed to bring his plans to fruition.

Blinding Bangs is no longer a trope. Moving examples to other tropes when applicable.


* BlindingBangs: Akiyama's eyes are usually hidden by his bangs unless he's revealing a plan or taunting his enemies.

Added DiffLines:

* AuthorTract: The manga is not subtle about its point: Your enemies are not other people struggling, your enemies are the powers that force you to compete when there's enough for everyone. An interpretation for the ending is that you can't wait for someone to show this to everybody, but that you have to believe it and act accordingly and that's the only way to fight the evil in the world.


Added DiffLines:

* BullyHunter: Akiyama will always give his opponents a chance to do things the easy way to get the best result for all the players. Once the opponents reveal themselves as greedy people willing to cheat, lie and ruin others to get a profit, Akiyama takes off the gloves and mops the floor with them.


Added DiffLines:

* CentralTheme: Cooperation and honesty are better than competition and deceit. If we all work together we can all get what we need instead of come getting a lot and some getting nothing.
