The intense battle between Kinji Hakari and Charles Bernard escalates inside Hakari’s unique Domain Expansion: Idle Death Gamble — a pachinko-themed barrier where a jackpot grants Hakari temporary immortality and auto-healing. The domain’s intricate rules and mechanics are instantly forced into Charles’ mind, leaving him disoriented as the fight begins.
Hakari wastes no time, flicking a reserve ball at Charles and launching a barrage of attacks using shutter doors. Charles, though initially caught off guard, quickly begins to understand the domain’s rhythm. He notices that Hakari’s actions serve as visual cues for the domain’s mechanics, indicating when it enters riichi mode — a pachinko term for jackpot-ready scenarios.
In this instance, the scenario revolves around a character named Yuki needing to arrive at work on time. Charles desperately tries to disrupt this sequence, believing that interfering might prevent Hakari from hitting the jackpot. However, he soon realizes that the scenario is predetermined and tamper-proof, and his interference has no effect on its outcome.
As the pachinko reels spin toward their result, the tension builds, highlighting Hakari’s overwhelming confidence in his domain’s absurd yet deadly power. Charles, despite his foresight and analytical skills, finds himself cornered by a cursed technique built on unpredictable chance and unstoppable momentum.
