The clash between Kinji Hakari and Charles Bernard reaches a new level once Hakari activates his Domain Expansion, Idle Death Gamble. This pachinko-inspired domain traps its target inside a bizarre barrier where hitting a jackpot grants Hakari temporary immortality along with rapid, automatic regeneration. The moment the domain opens, its complex rules are forcibly implanted into Charles’ mind, leaving him stunned and struggling to regain his composure.
Without hesitation, Hakari goes on the offensive, hurling a reserve ball at Charles and relentlessly attacking with crashing shutter doors. Though caught off guard at first, Charles quickly adapts, carefully observing the domain’s flow. He realizes that Hakari’s movements double as visual signals, revealing how the domain operates and when it shifts into riichi mode, a critical state where the jackpot becomes possible.
This round’s scenario centers on a character named Yuki racing to make it to work on time. Believing he can alter the outcome, Charles attempts to interfere with the sequence in hopes of preventing Hakari from winning the jackpot. His efforts, however, prove futile. The scenario is fixed, immune to outside interference, and destined to play out exactly as designed.
As the pachinko reels near their final result, the tension skyrockets. Hakari’s confidence never wavers, fully trusting in the chaotic yet lethal nature of his technique. Meanwhile, Charles—despite his sharp intellect and ability to anticipate the future—finds himself trapped by a cursed technique fueled by pure chance and relentless momentum.
