hello viewers this video will explain the surpassing the leader Arc from the manga Yogi and all the complex Mind Games we have seen in the game I am going to explain both bakun Hal's perspectives and motives from the very beginning of the Ark now this Arc is not easy to understand it's arguably the most complex game in the entire series as many people are not aware of every single detail in this Arc and what both Hal and Baku precisely did in order to achieve their goals and in this video I am also going to clear doubts based on karuma sochi's feet as this is the most controversial Topic in the community many people still don't know how to scale Hal and Baku now let me clear it I have made this analysis by myself after reading surpassing the leader for multiple times and for some of the parts I understood them from some existing documents now before anything else if you are not aware of the game rules or you have forgotten the rules then you can pause the video and read the rules first because it's very important to understand everything later on so let's talk about baku's perspectives and plans in short as we all know Baku wanted to defeat hell using the leap second which were to happen on January 1st precisely at 9:00 a.m. baku's motive was to somehow use the leap second now as soon as the game starts baku's plan was to firstly figure out the pace of the game which we all know then his next plan was to enter the leap second route after he enters the leap second route he must accumulate how's near death drug to at least be 5 minutes as you know the limit of the container is 5 minutes and 5 minutes is also a guaranteed death which means if you die for a total of 5 minutes you will have near no chances of survival or the chances would be very rare considering the potential of the person's body and Baku wants to make sure hell dies after the leap second because there would be absolutely no point of this strategy if hell does not even die after the leap second so to completely defeat Hal baku's main motive is for Hal to reach at least 5 minutes if not exceed it to make sure Hal dies now this was what Baku wanted throughout the ark but before continuing forward just in case you have no idea what a leap second route is that is going to be an important thing to consider in this video then I will explain it to you but if you already know what a leap second route is then you can skip this part now the leap second route is basically the time route when Baku would be able to play as the dropper at 8:59 a.m. if Baku can play D at 8:59 a.m. then he is in the leap second route but if he can't then he's not in the leap second route now let's see how to calculate the leap second route in order to figure out if Baku is in the leap second route we have to calculate from baku's current turn to play D and see if he can play D at 8:59 a.m. as well or not in order to calculate this you must know that every half of a round takes up 2 minutes which means if we assume 8:17 a.m. is when Baka plays s d in the actual game then if we calculate the leap second route from 8:17 a.m. we have to skip for minutes further to see if 8:59 a.m. is included in the route or not for minutes is because we must only consider baku's turns to play D and as you know baku's turn to play D occurs every 4 minutes so if we calculate the leap second route from 8:17 a.m. you can see Baku is not in the leap second route but if we calculate the leap second route from 8:35 a.m. then you can see Baku is in the leap second route I hope with this explanation you can understand what the leap second route is and how Baku calculated it during the game now let's look at sochi's perspectives please keep this in mind that SOI knew about the leap second since the very beginning I will explain how this is chapter 473 and you can see Baku gives a stopwatch to soyi and as soyi starts the stopwatch and if you look at the stopwatch closely you can notice 59 milliseconds on the stopwatch which is turning into the 60th millisecond and right in this 1 millisecond SOI observed baku's hands to be slightly trembling and asks him if he's nervous now baku's hands to tremble at such a point of time is really suspicious as 59 to 60 millisecond would refer to the leap in time which shows the leap that occurs in a minute soyi figures this out and tries to get more information out of Baku and as we can see SOI gives the stopwatch back to Baku in the top right corner of the panel if you turn it upside down you can see hell stopped the stopwatch at exactly 9 seconds which also indicates that there is a leap seconds at 9:00 a.m. SOI sets this as a trap to confirm his doubts and see how Baku reacts and as we know Baku broke the stopwatch itself because it might expose him with these premises alone soyi figures out baku's scheme completely but then due to his perfect mode he chooses to erase the memory of leap second but keep in mind even if he removed the memory of leap second his subconsciousness would still not forget it I will explain why he did that later on but what exactly is soyi planning let's discuss sochi's plan after he figured out leap second now dodging the leap second is very easy but soyi knows that he might end up losing his memory and hence forgetting about the leap second itself and due to this there is absolutely nothing soyi can do to Dodge baku's Trap and hence the only way for SOI to win against Baku is to fall for his trap but survive even after the leap second happened this might sound illogical at first but everything would be Crystal Clear later on Hal knows that Baku did not plan beyond the leap second and so he can effectively use this flaw against Baku but in order to survive it soyi has to keep his total time of death lower and make sure that due to his memory loss that is going to happen anytime irregularly as explained by yaku here it becomes almost impossible for Hal to win against Baku if he uses the leap second the only way for SOI to counter leap second is to actually fall for it which would probably happen automatically due to Hal's memory loss but in order to win against Baku despite losing his memory and falling for leap second which is bound to happen Hal cunningly decides to survive after he dies from leap second and that is only possible by not exceeding or even reaching 5 minutes of TTD now keep this in mind this is just a possibility that Hal is considering and preventing in advance because there is also a possibility of Hal actually not losing his memory to LEAP second but Hal is preparing all of this just to prevent the worst case scenario and even if SOI doesn't lose his memory his preparation still would not go to to waste either way now this plan can be countered if Baku notices how's TTD and Baku would immediately realize that it's not logical to use leap second anymore and make sure for Baku using the leap second is not that important but to defeat Hal and using leap second even though soy's TTD is not even enough to kill him with the leap second is Not Practical and Baku really w't hesitate to abandon the plan soal has to avoid this possibility as well which means Hal's plan would be riskier because in order to avoid Baku noticing 's plan and abandon leap second Al has to create a really short deviation that Baku wouldn't notice at all Al has to make Baku believe that he is not aware of leap second so that Baku keeps relying on leap second so that hell can successfully create a short deviation and survive now as we have cleared the motives of both Hal and Baku we can start to perceive the actual game without wasting any more time now as Baku Hal and referee yaku enter the Obelisk yaku sees Kaji and gakuto and asks them to leave now this is baku's plan in order to prevent yaku from using the clock as yaku believes that Kaji might have done something to the clock and Baka supports the claim and manipulates yaku indirectly to choose the speaking clock which is superior to anything and will he the deciding factor of the game now even this was planned by Baku as Baku knows that the phone line uses the leap second version of the clock so that hell doesn't Dodge the Trap as the dong sound would ring twice when he leaps second happens and hell would turn one second before Baku drops the handkerchief now let's directly get to the game Baku and help choose to play Rock p paper scissors to decide who plays The Dropper AKA as the D rooll as the D roll is more advantageous the one to win the rock paper scissors will play as D SOI wins this and plays D in the first half of the first round and Baku plays the Checker AKA as C now the first round begins at 8:12 a.m. both Baku and Hal try to understand each other's personalities and how they would think in this scenario Hal believes that Baku as a gambler who does not hesitate to risk his life would turn around in the middle phase to experience his near death and hence decides to not drop the handkerchief while Baku as well sees through this thinking of Hal but actually Baku is planning to die in this round in order to understand the pace of the game as you know a failed check might have different time intervals than a successful check so Baku chooses to die and it's the best thing for Baku to do considering it's the safest near death and Baku chose this also because it would precede the game by 5 minutes as 8:59 a.m. is a lot far from the current round and we see baku's brilliant check where he checks right before Hal was even able to drop which which means he perfectly predicted when Hal would drop it and made sure he fails his check but what Hal did is also very impressive instead of dropping the handkerchief immediately he chose to keep it down slowly as a strategy to counter baku's God like senses and Aura hell slowly proceeds to keep the handkerchief on the ground instead of dropping it he did that as Baku might check at any time hell drops this was really impressive for Hal to do while also waiting for Baku to check before he drops now as Baku failed his check he would be injected with the 1 minute penalty drug meanwhile Hal tries to mentally burden Baku to affect baku's will power with tough words this is a really brilliant move for Hal to do in order to make Baku die it's an effective move Hal fabricates about him setting up the near-death drug again trying to inflict fear within Baku but Baku comes out alive at 814 a.m. at the 40th second and the round is supposed to start at 8:17 a.m. Baka realizes that the interval in a failed check is about 5 minutes consisting of 3 minutes of the entire injecting and Reviving process and 2 minutes of interval for the next round now notice what Baku did before taking the death drug he took off his coat for his next strategy in the next half as the next half starts at 817 a.m. it's baku's turn to play as D now since it's baku's turn to play D let's calculate the leap second route from this moment and as you can see Baku is not in the leap second route now Baku sets up a crazy mind game he steps in front of Hal with his necktie and his left hand slightly revealed to reflect it as the handkerchief as I mentioned before he took off his coat as to give information to how to doubt if Baku is holding a handkerchief or a necktie with this move baku's aim was targeting the accumulation as you know Baku has already started to accumulate Hal's drug in order to make leap second near death more effective and not just that but he even came up with a mind game to make sure Hal takes time in order to figure out the informations that are being revealed to him in a tricky manner however SOI slowly figures out the information given to him he realizes that Baku hasn't shown his front to create a tricky mind game for Hal to take time choosing if Baku is holding a handkerchief but butal figures out that it's a necktie and as he figures it out Baku gives off a new information that is Baku was indeed holding the necktie and makeal wait for his next move and that's exactly what hell does he wanted one more information in order to turn around instantly however this scene through by Baku he does nothing but hell sees through this and turns around exactly at the 26th second now what exactly was happening in this round was hell was about to check at exactly 2 seconds and that's exactly when Baka dropped the handkerchief and stepped in front of Hal now this shows how brilliant both Baku and Hal are they have god-like perception Baku who prevented Hal from turning out by stepping in front of him exactly when Hal was about to turn meanwhile SOI who was about to turn around and Achieve an instant check this shows how insane both Baku and Hal are in speculating Hal sees through baku's aim after creating a theory about baku's Godlike senses where Baka steps in front of Hal exactly when Hal was going to turn around how remembers that Baku turned around in the first round exactly when he was about to drop and if baku's sense is really Godlike then Baku would have dropped the handkerchief because Baku stepped in front of Hal as if to prevent Hal from achieving a perfect check through this Theory Hell sees through the fact that Baku has dropped the handkerchief this is a brilliant abductive reasoning feat to create a theory on the spot and ruin baku's motives to make hell accumulate at least 40 seconds with this hell had accumulated 24 seconds meanwhile Baku has 60 seconds of TTD AKA total time of death but there is something in this round to understand why was hell going to turn around at 2 seconds that that's a really strange thing to do considering Hal wanted to win perfectly hell made this bet as he knows that Baka must not let hell die at this point of time as there is no reason to collapse the potential leap second route and his aim was to accumulate Hal's container first as Hal knows about leap second subconsciously how would check early as he knows Baku is going to drop the handkerchief as early as possible to avoid irregular scenarios but baku's god-like sense even avoided Hal's perfect check and accumulated 24 seconds of near-death drug which is kind of an effective accumulation onto the second round's first half which is going to start at 8:19 a.m. leader plays as D and Baku plays as C let's assume since Baku is not in the leap second route and in order to enter the leap second route Baku has to fail his check intentionally in order to interrupt with the pace of the game and enter the leap second route let's assume if Baku fails his check in this round the game will be preceded by 5 minutes which means baku's turn to play D would be at 8:24 a.m. which means Baku is not in the leap second route instead Baku might have ruined the PO potential leap second route opening in the next few rounds this shows that Baku must definitely avoid his death in this round he must achieve a successful check however Hal who knows this again tries to inflict fear within Baku so that Baka dies this is also a regular strategy for Hal as Hal knows he's in the worst case scenario due to his memory loss so Hal has another option to kill Baku before leap second that is why Hal is trying to affect baku's mentality and kill him with a failed check next thing Hal does is test his echolocation H produces a high frequency sound close to the dropped handkerchief to test if he can visualize the handkerchief but the sound of the speaking clock is too loud and it is hindering how's a collocation so in order to use a collocation in this game hell has to get rid of the loud sound of the speaking clock he uses a strategic manipulation tactic to make the referees lower the volume of the speaking clock he slowly Whispers something in baku's ears which makes the referees lower the volume as they want to hear every single word that is being said by Baku or SOI it's an effective manipulation tactic that hell used to lower down the volume of the speaking clock and use a collocation how brilliantly manipulates people who are not even in front of him now onto the round as I said Baka must not die in this round and hence he uses the safe strategy as it's the best thing for Baka to do as his container is also emptied Baku also believes SOI won't drop the handkerchief for some time so it is safe for him to take the safe strategy and that's what hell wanted to do at first hell wanted to take care of Baku before leap second if possible but Baku knowing this checks at the 60th second while hell realizing Baku is not going to turn around drops the handkerchief at the 35th second as after 30 seconds the chances of C checking would become lower and Hell dropped at 35 seconds exactly to see if Baku checks after 30 seconds or not but Baku didn't and hence being the reason for Hal's dropping make sure Hal also realizes that it might be actually not possible to kill Baku like that so Hal changes his motives from this round now as soon as this round ends Baka does not get up from his chair as to see if he can change the pace of the successful checks but he figures out that 2 minutes is the fixed amount of interval in each round with safe checks now Begins the second half of the second round that starts at 8:21 a.m. however we see that SOI has failed his check and has revived from his first near death and we can see glimpses of his memory lose already hell now knows that he might actually end up losing his memory before leap second when Hal wakes up he wasn't sure how he lost tobacco but then yaku explains that he failed his check at the fifth second although Hal wasn't sure why he checked at 5 Seconds but later on he remembers that he challenged Baku full-on but he lost but let me tell you this challenging Baku was not something hell wanted to do at all not just that it doesn't even make any sense for Hal to do a check like that if he wanted to challenge Baku he could have done a check before 5 seconds but why 5 Seconds it seems like Hal intended hide the fact that he wanted to fail his check intentionally now the main reason for Hal to fail his check here was to actually give Baku a chance to open the leap second route as you know for Baku it's almost not possible to make Hal die and open the leap second route Baku Must Die himself in order to enter the leap second route and that's exactly what hell did by dying in the second round he gave Baku an opportunity in which he can die at any point of time and enter the leap second route easily how proceeded the game by 5 minutes and he made the next round to start at 8:26 a.m. now 8:26 a.m. would be baku's turn to play C and if Baka dies at 8:26 a.m. Baku would easily enter the leap second route as you can see and that's exactly why Baku was amazed by Hal's check at 5 Seconds as yaku saw baku's Expressions to be amazed by Hal's check it was due to the fact that Baku did not even need to do anything and Hal casually gave him the opportunity to enter the leap second route and that is also why Baku was suspicious that Hal saw through leap second anyone would think like that now you might be thinking that if Hal said that he checked to challenge Baku that must be true but no that's not right Hal's actions are being controlled by his subconscious knowledge of leap second and baku's plan and hell didn't really remember why he did that instead help created an answer to that himself as this was mentioned later in the game to be known as the cognitive load we try to create the simplest answer to problems in order to lower the load of it on our mind and just like that Hal believe that he checked to challenge Baku but thinking clearly to it that's not something Hal would do as it does not makes any sense for Hal to do also there was absolutely no benefit for Hal to check that early because Hal clearly had four uses of the safe strategy to check at 5 seconds while having four safe strategies does not even make any sense and as Hal's plan was to fall for leap second and Survive by creating a small deviation that he mentioned in this panel it makes more sense for him to intentionally die in this round in order to let Baku enter the leap second route and the answer to why Baku didn't drop the handkerchief it was that in this round Baku can actually make Hal die and Baku would die in the next round to enter the leap second route Baku was aware of it but Baku didn't expect Hal to check at 5 Seconds that's why he was amazed I hope your doubts on this round are clear with this the third round round's first half begins at 8:26 a.m. which is baku's turn to play C now as hell died in second round Baku has the perfect opportunity now he can safely die in this round and enter the leap second route but Baku is really suspicious of how's actions in the second round Baku also knows that he has no safe strategies left as if he chooses to take the safe strategy Baka might increase his own accumulation and fail to enter the leap second route due to him dying for more than 1 minutes and 25 seconds a longer time than this might actually have chances of Baku dying due to a small Gap in baku's first and second near death so Baku must definitely not take the safe strategy however Baku takes the gamble due to Hell's suspicious actions he wanted to check what hell does in this round as if to know the answer to Hell knowing the leap second or not but Baku intuitively believes that hell has not seen through leap second and in order to make sure Hal does not see through it Baku foresees the three near death strategy that is if Baka dies with 25 seconds of accumulation in his container he would die for one minutes and 25 seconds adding to his previous near-death baku's current TTD would be only 2 minutes and 25 seconds now this has a high chance of Baku surviving while Baku would be able to die for 3 minutes or less once again as Baku would still stay within 4 minutes of TTD which is safer to survive this was baku's three near death strategy and this strategy also implies that fourth round is the best time for Baku to die as dying in three round would also be riskier due to how close his first and second near death would would be Baku chooses to take the safe strategy anyway and finds out that soyi dropped the handkerchief at the 56th second with this Baku accumulated merely 4 seconds now onto Hal's POV Hal consciously wanted to drop the handkerchief earlier but he wasn't able to as you can see Hal is yelling at himself to drop the handkerchief but he just could not this is another proof that soyi subconsciousness is controlling his actions as he subconsciously knows about leap second him not dropping the handkerchief refers to letting Baka die to enter the leap second route and considering Hal does not know leap second him wanting to drop the handkerchief earlier is also his best decision as Baku has three uses of the safe strategy anyone would think that Baku would use the safe strategy but not someone who knows about baku's leap's second plan which suggests that Baku is going to check early in this round but Baku exceeded Hal's subconscious expectations as hell thought Baku would check early to enter the leap second route but Baku used the safe strategy even though he wasn't supposed to due to baku's suspicions on hell with this Baku countered Helen intuitively however this made help change his motives now let's move to the third round second half that is going to start at 8:28 a.m. which is bak's turn to play D as Baka didn't die he is not in the leap second route now in this round Baka drops the handkerchief at the 24th second and Hell takes the safe strategy hence accumulating 36 seconds of the near-death drug it's obvious hell can't die in this round so he takes the safe strategy and Baku who doesn't want SOI to figure out leap second dropped the handkerchief at 24 seconds because it's as if Baku is saying he didn't drop the handkerchief for 24 seconds because he was betting on how to turn around and fail his check which would mean that Baku is not using the leap second as that would mean Baku would not let hell die cuz it would collapse the leap second roundout so basically Baku dropping the hankerchief at 24 seconds even while being sure that Hal would use the safe strategy is to show that he wants Hal to die right now which just collapsed the leap second route this move was just to not let SOI be suspicious of Baku using the leap second the fourth round's first half start starts at 8:30 a.m. it's baku's turn to play C now Baku clearly is aiming to fail his check so that he can enter the leap second route as if he dies here the next half of this round will start at 8:35 a.m. and as you can see Baku is in the leap second route so baku's aim here is clearly to fail his check but also not to let soyi doubt that Baku wanted to fail his check intentionally that is why Baku checked at 10 seconds instead of checking instantly but hell counters this and drops at 7 Seconds which means hell prevented Baku from failing his check but now you would think if hell wanted Baku to enter the leap second route then why is he stopping Baku from entering it that is basically because even hell stops Baku from failing his check he can still fail his check in later rounds and enter the leap second route but that's not the only reason Hal is also not trying to let Baka know that he has figured out the leap second and this early drop was to strengthen his bluff that is going to happen in the later rounds I will explain it when that round happens with this successful check Baku accumulated a small 3 seconds of the near-death drug and as the round ends every referee starts to doubt Hal's dropping without realizing his motives as if Baku clearly saw through Hal but instead Baku wasn't able to enter the leap second route due to this but with this drop of SOI Baku uses this moment as an opportunity to use the three near death strategy as a decoy and get SOI figure it out so that soyi doesn't figure out leap second meanwhile what soyi does here is crazy he reads the minds of every referee like after this round ended referee Madara explains how 's dropping was a big mistake theoretically and Hal replies to it exactly as if he can clearly read their minds and he reads fukaru who was thinking that Baku might win against SOI if that's how SOI plays and then he thinks that SOI might win if he can turn back time and how exactly reads fur's mind and he abducts that there is a reason for bak's checking early and if he can figure that out he would win now hell already knows why Baka turned around earlier which is to enter the leap's second route but hell does not know this consciously which is why hell says this and now the second half of the fourth round begins at exactly 8:32 a.m. which is baku's turn to play D and Baku is not in the leap second route right now Baku who still has the chance to enter the leap second route Baku drops the handkerchief instantly in order to accumulate how's drug to kill him with the leap second as how's TTD right now is only 1 minute and 24 seconds he has to get it to at least 5 minutes or sochi's chances to survive would exist meanwhile hell checks at the 34th second now this was a risky check SOI chose to check in the middle of the round despite the fact that if he fails to check he might even die soyi knows Baku couldn't let hell die which would collaps the leap second route SOI checking at 34 seconds is to create a small deviation to survive after the leap second as creating a large deviation is like telling Baku that SOI has figured out leap second and checking early without hesitating as if he knows baku's entire plan which might cause Baku to change his plans as well so that's why SOI is trying to accumulate his drug more for Baku and Baku who knows SOI can't risk his life in this round immediately drops the handkerchief and then comes the fifth round's first half which started at 8:34 a.m. Baku believes that SOI hasn't seen through leap second due to sochi's declaration in the fourth round and as I said by forgetting about leap second consciously SOI himself believes what he says which would definitely deceive Baku this is baku's turn to play C and Baku instantly checks in this round for many reasons the very first and the main reason is to enter the leap second route and second is to show that Baku is failing his check intentionally for letting Hal know about the three near-death strategy instead of the leap second strategy as for Baku this is the best time to die as he would not lose all his options and still have a foothold to stand on while with this death Baku is clearly trying to enter the leap second route but that would make SOI believe the three near death strategy as Baku is completely sure that SOI hasn't seen through his plan but soyi blocks his instant check and prevents Baku from dying once again although Hal wants Baku to ENT enter the leap second route but there's another strong reason why hell is preventing it now hell reveals bak's three near-death strategy which is not the real strategy but Hal who consciously doesn't know about leap second would clearly believe this strategy as Hal has forgotten even the premises to induce leap second so he would figure out what Baku is doing instead of leap second and Baku who believes that SOI hasn't seen through leap second also believes that SOI would expose his three near death strategy and it was to keep Hal from figuring it out SOI explains the three near death strategy which is that Baku can die three times as even after his death in this round Baku would still have 2 minutes and 28 Seconds To Die four which is below the limit of guaranteed death now Baku counters Hal's Thinking by saying Hal prevented baku's death just to one up him but it did no damage to Baku at all instead he achieved a perfect check which is true but SOI once again points out a flaw in baku's thinking and explains him the condition of yaku who is on the verge of death now look how SOI instantly brought up a fabricated lie as to say he already knows yaku's conditions and that's why he blocked baku's death but instead he has another motives behind blocking it and that's to strengthen his bluff now hell straightforwardly Bluffs that as yaku's CPR is getting weaker and weaker hu will be the first one to die as it would be much safer for him to die first than dying later which would weaken yaku once again and as I said before the reason for SOI to block baku's checks despite wanting him to enter the leap second route was merely to make Baku believe his bluff completely I will explain how Baku has no way to avoid this Bluff not just that he brilliantly taunts yaku in order to motivate him to not get weaker as he understands yaku's dedications and yaku indeed gets an adrenaline rush and gets motivated for some time the next half of the fifth round starts at 8:36 a.m. this is baku's turn to play D Baku is not in the leap second route yet now Baku completely believed Hal's Bluff and Hal's manipulation to get Baka drop the handkerchief early was successful Baku dropped the handkerchief instantly but guess what hell didn't check early now there are tons of reasons for that but before that let's see why Baku fall for it so easily firstly that is because he is sure Hal doesn't know leap second secondly Hal's fabrication and Bluff got so strong after hell prevented baku's death in previous rounds that Baku has no way to avoid it as there is no way he can let hell die because if Hal dies Baku won't be able to enter the leap second route while baku's chances to fail his check and survive would also diminish and Hal has very less TTD so Baku won't be able to defeat Hell Without leap second at this point which is why Baku would have not let Hal die even if he hadn't believed Hal's Bluff there was no way Baku can take the risk and let Hal die although as we can see Baku fall for Hal's Bluff now let's see the reason of hell not checking early the main reason is to create a really small deviation precisely saying merely 2 seconds of deviation keep this in mind at this point as slowly Hal made Baka believe that he hasn't seen through leap second and slowly strengthening his bluff in the fifth round hell has successfully made Baka drop the handkerchief earlier and always Target the accumulation now Howell can easily predict and calculate his TTD till 8:59 a.m. and even after 8:59 a.m. which is when Baku would use the leap second hell knows that Baku would always drop the handkerchief instantly now because as hell knows that he is going to let Baku die in the next round Baku won't let hell die for some time which would ruin the leap second route and Baku also has to accumulate Hal's container to effectively use leap second and as Hal knows all of this H can simply control his TTD completely Hal can choose when to check and how can now precisely and accurately create the amount of deviation he wants and as hell bluffed Baku indeed drops instantly while hell checks at 15 seconds but you would be confused as Hal knows Baku has fallen for his bluff he must have checked earlier but he didn't do that because checking earlier is like clearly saying that Hal NOS Baku would drop early and that would also make Baku lose hope to accumulate how's drug and use the leap second which might also give Baku other options as Baku figuring out how knowing leap second would mean Baku can easily see through Hal's motives as Hal has to prevent his accumulations so he would check earlier and Baku can counter that by not dropping and that would completely ruin sochi's plan which is why SOI is trying to create a small deviation that just stays unnoticed by Baku and make Baku believe that he can still accumulate how's drug in some way till the leap second happens and so Hal might survive after the leap second route another reason for Hal to check at 15 seconds is to show that he wants to one up Baku or show that Hal is not sure if Baku Falls for it or not although due to baku's unpredictability Hal uses a collocation before checking anyway so that he can be 100% sure Baku fall for it next is the sixth round's first half which started at 8:38 a.m. Baka checks instantly while hell didn't drop the handkerchief now Hal achieved his second goal that was to let Baku enter the leap second route and as you remember SOI motivated yaku by saying those words temporarily and as he said that he is going to die so yaku must revive Hal and do his job but as Hal didn't do that and Hal did completely the opposite of what he said it actually made yaku even weaker and feel burden nowal has not only made a possibility of Baku entering the leap second route but also by weakening yaku he had increased the chances of Baku dying which means hell won't have to go through the trouble of falling for leap second and as you saw Baku barely got revived but sadly for Hal Baku entered the leap second route although hell still isn't that worried as Baku entered the leap second route and his plan is still ongoing now the second half of the sixth round starts at 8:43 a.m. which is baku's turn to play D and Baku is finally in the leap second route as you can see now in this round hell once again knows that Baku is not going to let hell die hence drop the handkerchief instantly and once again hell can decide when to check in order to create the deviation although hell uses echolocation and successfully checks at the 8 second this makes vaka shocked as realizes it's very hard to accumulate how's drug but it's still not enough for Baku to lose hope on the leap second plan as there are still ways for Baku to increase how's TTD instead of his accumulation I will get to that later let's start the first half of the the seventh round which started at 8:45 a.m. which is sochi's turn to play D now let's see baku's brilliant strategy Baku realizes that it's possible for him to increase Hal's TTD instead of increasing his drug basically by making Hal die for more than 2 minutes as of right now how's TTD is merely 1 minute and 24 seconds and his current accumulation in his container is 1 minute and 33 seconds Baka knows if he can make hell die at a point of time that would also not make the leap second route inactive he can actually make hell die for more than 2 minutes and with that how's TTD would directly reach more than 3 minutes how's current accumulation in both container and his body is 3 minutes and 57 second which is very close to 5 minutes if Baku can accumulate one more minute and some more seconds he can use the leap second effectively and that's baku's plan but Baku has to make how die in order to increase his accumulations and in order to do that Baku chooses to increase his own accumulation in his container by taking up 60 seconds accumulations now why would this make Hal die there's a reason behind baku's consideration as baku's deep understanding to Hal's personality he definitely would not want to win against Baku with a huge gap so if Baku now intentionally uses the safe strategy regardless of the accumulation he can actually choose to intentionally be on the edge of the cliff as this would make Hal die and take even more advantage against Baku but also actually getting closer to Baku in TTD as Baku believes hell wants to one up him hell would definitely die so in this half Baku takes the safe strategy in order to manipulate Hal's thoughts and also to not ruin the leap second route while hell dropped the handkerchief as soon as the round started with this Baku accumulated the largest 60 seconds of near-death drug now the second half of the seventh round starts at 8:47 a.m. which is baku's turn to play D Baku is still in the leap second route now as you remember SOI manipulated the referees in the second round Baku feels the sound of the speaking clock to be reduced he notices this as some words he said in a low sound the sound of the speaking clock got lower but Baka realizes that this is not the first time it got lower with this Baku remembers how whispered something in his ears Baku remembers about echolocation as he saw sochi's mother use it in a recording as Baku secretly figured out how's identity and about his memory loss he realizes that SOI might have also learned a collocation and with these premises Baku induced that SOI manipulated the referees to lower down the volume of the speaking clock that was hindering his echolocation Baku figures out how's echolocation and how listens Baku sitting on the ground with his abnormal hearing skills hell figures out that Baka might have figured out his echolocation hell figured it out from his first near-death drug where he saw the blood stain on baku's dress the blood stain was due to IA killing the rat H figures out that Baku had been to the arizuka building where he might have learned about his mother's echolocation and hence he was able to figure out Baku seeing through his echolocation just by Baku sitting on the ground not only that but Hal also sees through Baku flattening the handkerchief in order to prevent Hal from visualizing the handkerchief with this H checks instantly and achieves a 1second accumulation as Hal also was sure that Baku is targeting the accumulation although Hal seemed to be hesitating due to him not knowing about baku's motives but consciously seeing through Baku seeing through echolocation but the reason for Hal's dedication was due to his subconscious knowledge of leap second and baku's motives the first half of the eighth round starts at 8:49 a.m. this is Hal's turn to play de and as Hal knows that Baku can't possibly fail his check anymore he drops the handkerchief early but instead of dropping it instantly he drops STS it at 5 seconds if Baku tries to check early he would fail his check and as I explained earlier Baku who wants to Corner help chooses the safe strategy as Baku also knows how can't bait Baku to fail his check as it's not logical at all with this check Baku accumulated 55 seconds and the total amount of accumulation in the cylinder is 1 minute and 55 seconds and with this Baku is completely cornered and it would manipulate Hal to fail his check to take the advantage as Hal knows baku's conditions Hal would definitely want to take the complete Advantage but also be close to baku's condition and for Baku that's what Hal is going to do onto the eighth round second half which started at 8:51 a.m. and as Baku cornered Hal Hal took the instant check intentionally to take the advantage Hal does not want to avoid any risks but this is too far from being Hal's actual motives in this round the actual reason is for SOI who is subconsciously aware of leap second instantly checking in this round is the best decision Hal can take instead of any other decision C can possibly take like taking the safe strategy or doing a safe check in the middle both of these decisions are completely disadvantageous for how to take there are two reasons for how's instant check in this round as hell knows that he has three uses of the safe strategy it's logical for Baku to Target his accumulations also due to the fact that it would be more effective to kill hell using leap second with a higher TTD than only 1 minute so for Baku to drop instantly is a high chance of a possibility as well and if Baku does this Hal would achieve another perfect check and the second reason is even if Baku doesn't drop the handkerchief Hal has already calculated this possibility a long time ago and with his death in this round Hal would successfully seize those 2 seconds and survived leap second and as expected by hell he died in this round and died for 2 minutes and 34 seconds and as for yaku's conditions yaku can still take SOI CPR he hasn't weakened completely and SOI knows after baku's second near death yaku has regained his strength after Reviving Baku even when there was near no chance with this yaku was motivated enough to take more CPR and if yaku successfully revives hell once again without any problem then he can once again revive hell after the leap second due to the positive impact on yaku's emotionally and with this near death Hal's TTD now is 3 minutes and 58 seconds and he has lost all of his memory as expected by him because before taking the drug SOI asked yaku to remind him of the rules if hell seems to be confused which would mean he lost his memory and during his near death how figures out leap second consciously right before the time ran out how solved the puzzle and saw through the answer that is Leap second but as he revived he once again lost his memory of leap second and unexpectedly Hal even lost his perfect mode which was said to be the crisis that was awaiting ahead of soyi with this soyi lost his biological clock and how can't use a collocation as Baku can simply prevent it next is the first half of the ninth round which started at 8:57 a.m. now the interval in this near death was 6 minutes the reason for this is simple H died for 2 minutes and 34 seconds this is a long amount of duration for him to die and just because of that the extra minute interval was added this is how's turn to play D and as explained there is no way for Baku to do an early check and Hal who just lost his memory about everything that happened till now he doesn't know how much TTD Baku has but Hal believes that Baku is not going to turn around until 60 seconds and without any reason hell believes that Baku is using the safe strategy as hell stopped yaku from explaining any further he obviously doesn't know baku's drug accumulation and also how many times Baku died four that is why hell had no reason to believe Baku is going to use the safe strategy yet he dropped it instantly because Hal's subconsciousness knows that if Baku dies here he won't be able to play as D at 8:59 a.m. to use the leap second and that was the only reason for his certainty that he wasn't aware of with this Baku achieved another 60 seconds accumulation with this Baku exceeded 5 minutes of total accumulation as Baku died for 2 minutes and 33 seconds while he has 2 minutes and 55 seconds of the near-death drug in his container which means means his total accumulation of the drug would be 5 minutes and 28 seconds and now comes the leap second round the ninth round second half which happens at 8:59 a.m. this is bak's turn to play D Baka drops the handkerchief at the 61th second meanwhile soyi who is unaware of leap second turns around at 60th second when the dong sound rang for the first time and it rang once again at the 61th second with this hell fails his check as planned and dies for 1 minute here comes the hallucination round the 10th round's first half which is going to happen at 9:04 a.m. Baku and yaku hallucinates that Hal has survived and now they notice that there is a 2cond deviation due to which Hal survived as Hal's TTD after the ninth round was 4 minutes and 58 seconds and Baku wanted to accumulate at least 5 minutes to successfully kill SOI this creates a 2-second deviation Hal wakes up and says that it was due to the fact that he seized those two seconds and survived Hal mentions what happened in the sixth round and the seventh round due to Hal's 8sec check in sixth round and 1 second check in the seventh round hell only accumulated 9 seconds at that time which created a gap of merely 2 seconds to complete the 60 seconds after being added to his previous accumulations and if hell didn't limit his accumulations to those 9 seconds those 2 seconds would have never existed now according to this statement hell knew about bak's actions completely right from the fifth round and it was due to his checks in those rounds that he is able to survive right now now most of the viewers will say all my analysis is based on this statement by Hal in baku's hallucinations which means what hell said is not true because it never happened but as this scan says here whatever happened in this hallucination was a reality for the three of them this includes Hal as well which clearly means that whatever hell said in the hallucinations was indeed a reality and not just this statement but everything hell did in the previous round confirms that Hal's plan indeed was to create the two second deviations and survive and he knew about leap second since the very beginning the proof is Hell stopping the stopwatch at the exact 9th second which indicates 9:00 a.m. which is exactly when leap second is going to happen and all of these Clues proves the fact that Hal indeed knew about leap second and he planned to fall for leap second from the beginning now the only question remain is why hell couldn't survive the answer is simple due to yaku's CPR and not because of the amount of time he died for the proof of that is Hell survived in the hospital even after taking 4 minutes and 58 seconds of the near-death drug this indeed proves that sochi's body was capable of surviving even after taking 4 minutes and 58 seconds of the near-death drug but the only reason he died was because of the weak CPR given by now I will explain why how's strategy to create 2 seconds deviation to survive wasn't risky at all as many people would now think that it would have been better if Hal created a higher deviation instead of merely 2 seconds but there is a reason for it creating a higher deviation is like telling Baku that he has seen through leap second as the higher deviation and low accumulation would give Baka clues that Hal can predict bak's actions which is only possible when Hal knows about leap second and that is exactly what hell wanted to avoid this is why he didn't create a higher deviation and how was was 100% sure that 2 seconds of deviation would be enough for him to survive I will prove how exactly Hal being perfect already predicted that his body can survive with the 2 seconds deviation because Hal knows what exactly his body is capable of and Hal is guaranteed that his body is capable of taking 4 minutes and 58 seconds of the near-death drug and still survive which is why he never lost hope of this plan and the reason he understands the potential of his body is simply because he can manipulate every part of it and for Hal to be able to manipulate every part of his body he must must understand how it functions firstly and know what it's capable of without proper understanding of his own body it's impossible for him to manipulate his body at his own will which means in sochi's perspective the 2cond deviation strategy wasn't a risky strategy as he is completely aware of the potential of his body with a 100% certainty which is obviously due to his perfect mode and unluckily H couldn't survive during the game but he did survive after the game so hell strategy was successful anyway and just in case you still have any doubt even the slightest doubt you can ask me anything at all and I will explain everything personally as I myself know that there are some things in this video which would obviously leave some doubts and it's impossible for me to cover every possibility in a single video as it would just make the video more complicated now to summarize Baku and Hal's plans from the start Baku wanted to kill hell using the leap second baku's goal in the game was to accumulate at least 5 minutes to make sure hell dies but hell managed to seized 2 seconds against Baku and baku's goal to accumulate 5 minutes failed even though Baku won how was able to survive right from the beginning Hal had near no chance to win against Baku only due to his memory loss yet Hal was able to adapt to his memory loss and create a really complex and logical strategy this strategy to seize 2 seconds considers every single possibility and concludes that this was the best decision for how now if any of you think Baku is scaled lower than you are wrong Baku scales exactly as he is used to and even after this analysis Baku and Hell stands on par with each other and it's subjective for who among them is smarter as Baku had no way of knowing that Hal was aware of leap second due to Hal's supernatural abilities and his Perfection Baku did everything logically with the peak of intelligence and every action Baku took were the most cunning thing possible I hope you understood everything please share this with your friends who want to understand surpassing the leader Arc and the complex Mind Games thanks for watching this video
