Trillion Game [Season 1 Episode 23]

Trillion Game Episode 23 Review: The Streaming Wars Heat Up

Trillion Game has always been a wild ride, blending high-stakes business maneuvers with the chaotic charm of its protagonists, Haru Tennouji and Gaku Taira. Episode 23, titled “The Streaming Gambit,” cranks up the tension as Trillion Game, Inc. dives headfirst into the cutthroat world of digital entertainment—only to face their fiercest rival yet: Dragon Bank.

The Plot Thickens

Haru, ever the visionary, decides to launch Trillion TV, a streaming service designed to dominate the Japanese market. With Gaku’s tech expertise and Sumeragi’s creative firepower, the plan seems foolproof—until Dragon Bank counters by partnering with D-Rex, an American streaming giant, and appointing Kirihime as its new president. The rivalry between Haru and Kirihime reaches new heights, and fans are eating it up.

One of the standout moments? Gaku’s unexpected character growth. Known for his social awkwardness and brutal honesty, Gaku finally learns to bluff—something Haru has mastered. When he confidently claims to be “Japan’s number one hacker” to impress investors, it’s both hilarious and a sign of how far he’s come. As one fan on MyAnimeList put it: “Gaku bluffed and told it with a composed and straight face. Haru’s influence is affecting him.”

Fan Reactions: Love, Criticism, and Everything In Between

The episode has sparked lively debates among fans. Some adore the escalating rivalry, like the user who said, “Haru is taking a financial risk with this program he’s investing in. But yeah, there was no way their rival was just going to let them hog the popularity. I like the rivalry here—it brings out the best in each other.”

Others, however, question the realism of the business tactics. One critic pointed out, “More proof that the manga writer knows nothing about the financial/business world; one person/company is not allowed to own shares in more than one TV network because it risks a monopoly.” This sparked a mini-debate in the forums, with another fan asking if this rule applies globally. (Spoiler: It’s complicated.)

Kirihime’s role in the episode also drew attention. Fans are divided—some see her as a formidable antagonist, while others sense romantic tension between her and Haru. “Is this just foreplay for Haru and Kirika? My spidey sense is tingling,” joked one viewer.

The Verdict: Bold Moves and Bigger Stakes

Episode 23 is a turning point for Trillion Game. The introduction of Trillion TV and D-Rex Japan sets the stage for an all-out corporate war, and the dynamic between Haru, Gaku, and Kirihime keeps things unpredictable. While some plot points stretch believability (as anime often does), the sheer audacity of Haru’s schemes and Gaku’s growth make it a must-watch.

As one fan perfectly summarized: “Looks like our boy Gaku is evolving—bluffing is something he could never pull off before! Dragon Bank isn’t making things easy for Trillion Games, and Kirika? She’s loving every second of it.”

If you’re a fan of high-energy, over-the-top business drama with a side of character development, Trillion Game Episode 23 delivers. Just don’t think too hard about the financial logistics—Haru certainly doesn’t.

Final Rating: 8.5/10 – A thrilling setup for the next phase of the battle.
