Episode Title- Initiative

Fukunaga Yuji reveals himself to be "X" and declares victory. He explains that he had set things up so that he would be the last winner, and asserts that Akiyama will never be in the minority. Why was Fukunaga always in the minority and able to advance? Fukunaga reveals his trick and explains the structure of his complete victory. Nao is shocked and in tears at how her trust was cleverly exploited and betrayed. Everyone in the venue who heard the clever plan was convinced of Fukunaga's victory...or so it seemed, but only Akiyama was smiling knowingly. He understood that there was a flaw in the winning strategy, and in order to assess the situation, he had been focusing his attention on "one point" of each participant from the very beginning of the game. How did Akiyama see through "X's" scheme?

Episode Title- Alliance

Having discovered a surefire way to win the "minority vote" game, Akiyama and Nao gather five women and an elderly man and explain their plan to win the prize money and escape the Liar Game. The plan involves dividing into two halves for each game and continuing to vote, with the last person remaining receiving the prize money as representative. They gain the support of all six, draw up a contract to prevent betrayal, and set up their system, but their concern remains the presence of a dangerous individual, "X." After promising to be vigilant against "X," the first "minority vote" game finally begins. Nao, overwhelmed with anxiety, fixates on man number 15, suspected of being "X." The results of the first game are announced, and the suspicious number 15 has also won—but Akiyama's unease lies elsewhere. Could they be operating under the "worst-case scenario"...?
