Kakegurui is back! After the climactic end of last season, it's time for our favorite gambling lads and lasses to return. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8fCIcho7N4k Kakegurui is set in a completely foreign and alien world to ours where rich people can basically do whatever they want. It takes place at Hyakkaou Private Academy where the hierarchy is determined by personal wealth. Gambling is encouraged, and those who are bad at it go broke and are forced to become "pets." Pets have basically no rights and if you graduate as a pet, you have to follow a life plan set out by the student council for how you spend your life. Naturally, you don't want this. Characters  Karl Marx is a German philosopher and economist. She is most well known for creating dialectical materialism, what we now know as Marxism. Karl mysteriously appears at Hyakkaou one day and she is dead set on turning the whole place upside-down and destroying the student council.  Che Guevara is an Argentinian revolutionary Marxist. She lived a life of middle-class bliss in Argentina before going to Hyakkaou to study medicine. Che is a former capitalist who lost a high stakes gamble to Marx-chan and lost all her money. She went on a long motorcycle journey after this and learned of the horrible conditions of the poor. Now, she is Karl's strongest ally in the fight against the student council.  The Proletariat is a concept in Marxist thinking. The proletariat is anyone who does not own the means of production. In the past, farmers and laborers owned their own means of production (plows, hammers, etc), but now that we live in a (post-)industrialized age, the student council owns all means of production. All the proletarian has to sell is his own labor, which is exploited by the members of the student council. Prole-kun was deep in debt until Karl-chan won a series of bets and bought his freedom. At the end of last season, he realized that he wanted to be a revolutionary, and Karl-chan squirted all over the floor and soaked her panties.  Peter Kropotkin is a Russian aristocrat and Marxist theorist. Her family is fantastically wealthy and own over 12,000 serfs. She gave the council 5000 serfs to get a seat. After joining the Tsarist army, she was stationed at Hyakkaou Academy. Karl-Chan defeated Peter-chan in a gamble, and so she decided to become one of her allies. The question is though, is she really committed to the revolution or does she have other motives?  Adam Smith is a Scottish economist, known as the founder of capitalism. After becoming a professor of philosophy at the University of Glasgow, she decided to leave and come to Hakkaou to gain more power. She is the creator of the pet system and the president of the student council. Her and Karl-chan have an enigmatic relationship; it seems they have a connection, but we're not sure what it is. Kakegurui XX comes out January 9th, and will come out every Friday after that on Netflix. Time to get lewd and crush the ruling class.

If you reverse image search Karl here, it suggests 'Anime Best Girl'. Could the algorithm be developing revolutionary consciousness after all?

The first season mostly got by on the strength of strong production values and how zany it was; curious to see if the second season follows suit, because often shows whose don't have a lot of substance tend to falter when they come back around the bend that op is almost as good as s1's op

Fansubs are out for the first ep. The new opening looks nice, not as psychedelic as the old one but I like the use of playing card motifs. Weird that they decided to put the setup for the season to the end of the episode, but I guess they wanted to start the season with a bang. Watching the smug pink-haired girl slowly realize who she's dealing with was pretty funny, Midari needs to be in more games.

If Yumeko is Karl Marx, then who is: Ikishima (Psycho Eyepatch)? Yumemite (Idol Girl)? Manyuda (Mr Glasses)? Igarashi (Adam's Right Hand)? Ririka (Adam's Mask)? Yomozuki (Hoodie Gamer)? The new Challengers? I demand an update to the OP.

I honestly don't think that "Prole-kun" would be as funny as it is when I hear it in my head. But dang, it is.  Never change, Ikishima.

It's a shame they skipped out on showing one of the gambles from before this that happened in the manga. I hope it comes out in an OVA or something.

Yeah they should have lead with that one, it was great. Unfortunately it was kind of completely unrelated to anything except characterizing the one leftover student council member who didn't really do anything else, so I can see why they skipped it.

I don't get how the secret partition thing was supposed to work. Wouldn't that mean that no one would get their fingers cut off, not just the student council girl's?

Since she knows there's no actual threat she can just keep her finger in until the others lose their nerve and give up. If she gets unlucky and the blade drops early it's a draw, not a loss. Of course that was never going to work against two actual crazy people, but she wasn't aware of their personalities since she's new to the school.
