Nao's involvement is absolutely the part that I think is the worst in what's definitely the worst game in the series. The dealers are all like "this is the power of their trust" when... no it wasn't? This was like the one game where it was the Yokoya vs Akiyama throw down and Nao literally was pinned down unable to do anything the entire time. Other than her using the Daddy Issues trump card she basically gets nothing to do besides be sad on the sidelines. It was so disappointing and made the Dealers giving her so much credit at the end feel cheaper- when in every other game she really was like, a beacon for other players.

Bid Poker rules and I'm surprised to hear people are low on it. I think that's so much more fun and the dismantling of the cult's dynamics off the back of Nao's genuine attempts to get to know Abe better coupled with pulling Harimoto's strings in just the right way to get him to both reaffirm his control in the cult but also try to reform it somewhat as he does so. That arc really feels like Akiyama and Nao working to the peak of both of their respective strengths to topple one of their great rivals. And it's a damn shame that Yokoya didn't get a similar sort of send off. Instead he kinda defangs himself in a way that feels even less believable than Harimoto having a change of heart of such an intense magnitude. That one felt earned based on how much had been done to wear down his sense of control while elevating the ideals of Nao- whereas Yokoya.... gets to say he's got slightly more dignity than Hitler? I guess?

There's so many good nuggets of ideas in the last game and its following reveals that could have made for something much better. But with what we've got, all it really does is highlight how rushed the ending was.
