Trillion Game [Season 1 Episode 22]

Trillion Game Episode 22: High Stakes and Big Balls in Vegas

If there’s one thing Trillion Game has taught us, it’s that Haru Tennjouji doesn’t just play the game—he rewrites the rules. Episode 22, aptly set in the neon-lit chaos of Las Vegas, takes the series’ themes of risk, reward, and sheer audacity to dizzying new heights. And if the online chatter is anything to go by, fans are eating it up.

The Vegas Gamble: Win Big or Lose Everything

The episode kicks off with Haru, Gaku, and the gang rolling into Sin City like they own the place—because, let’s be real, Haru probably thinks he does. The goal? To prove a point about gambling—both in casinos and in business. As one fan on MyAnimeList put it: “This is the casino, so it’s the place to win or lose money. Gaku got involved in this too. I’m surprised this type of episode didn’t debut sooner.”

And boy, do they lose. Spectacularly. By the end of the night, Trillion Game’s funds are wiped out, and the team is flying home in economy class (ouch). But here’s the twist: losing the money was never the point. Haru’s real game was testing Gaku’s resolve. Would he fold under pressure, or double down?

The Dragon Bank Showdown

The episode’s second act shifts gears as Kokuryu, the narcissistic president of Dragon Bank (described by one viewer as “an old man who doesn’t actually know anything about economics”), makes his move to buy out Trillion Game. Haru’s response? A flat-out refusal, followed by a declaration so bold it left fans buzzing: “To decline Dragon Bank’s offer is one thing, but to openly declare that they’ll be the ones doing the devouring is another.”

Haru’s next play? Launching Trillion TV, a media empire designed to sway public opinion and crush Dragon Bank in the court of public sentiment. Because why settle for a buyout when you can own the game?

Fan Reactions: The Good, The Bad, and The Engrish

The episode wasn’t without its quirks. The English dialogue in the Vegas scenes had some viewers cringing (“Oh God, the Engrish, make it stop!”), while others found it hilariously endearing (“Oh mai gosh!”).

But the real standout was Haru’s character depth. Fans are still speculating about his backstory (“Haru’s a mysterious character, with him knowing several things and skills that a normal person won’t have.”). Is he just a genius, or is there something darker driving him?

And let’s not forget the MVP line of the episode: “I am the world’s most selfish man.” Classic Haru.

Final Thoughts: All In or Bust

Episode 22 is a masterclass in high-stakes storytelling. It’s flashy, it’s chaotic, and it’s so Trillion Game. As one fan perfectly summarized: “This episode is about having huge balls to go all in.”

With the stage set for a media war against Dragon Bank, the question isn’t if Haru will win—it’s how spectacularly he’ll do it. And if the online hype is any indication, fans are already counting down to the next episode.

So, will Trillion Game get a Season 2? Here’s hoping—because as one fan lamented: “The manga translation is so far behind.”

Until then, let’s raise a glass to Haru Tennjouji: the man who bets it all, loses it all, and still comes out on top.

Rating: 9/10 – Because nothing beats watching a genius lose $3 billion and call it a “lesson.”
