Episode 1 is the first episode of the live action of Kakegurui.

## Summary

Not knowing how the new school works, newcomer Yumeko Jabami is challenged by a classmate to participate in a rock, paper and scissors piece worth a lot of money.

## Plot

The episode opens with Ryota Suzui and Mary Saotome in a poker game, with several other students watching. Ryota thinks that with that game he could win, so he increases his bet by ten chips; Mary just pays and he shows her the sequel to Full House, but she shows her Royal Straight Flush. A student comes and puts a "Toto" ID around Ryota's neck and laughs.

Ryota then explains everything there is to talk about Hyakkaou Private School while holding a juice box. In a betting room, Mary wins another game. Ryota and Mary simultaneously explain how the betting works, but the former receives several emails demanding his debt. He starts walking and explains about the donations to the Student Union, but is interrupted by Jun Kiwatari who kicks him.

Lying on the ground, Ryota hears him mocking him for his position below him and even calls him not by name but by "Toto"; he asked why he did that and Jun kicks the wall next to him, replies that maybe it's morning or because he felt like it, telling him to stand up and read the rank list, explaining how the pet system worked. One of his friends grabbed Ryota and Jun kicked him, the first being pushed back against the wall.

Jun took out a money bill and announced that he would hit him whenever he was frustrated and in return would give him money, joking with him by asking if he intended to run away with his tail between his legs. Ryota replies that if he left, his parents would have to pay the debts and Jun interrupts him, saying that they should never forget their parents. Ryota tries to take the money from Jun's hand, but Jun stops him and kicks him again. They continue to play with him until the bell rings and Ryota runs into the room where Mary, complaining about her feet hurting, was. He was quick to get to his feet at the sound of everyone else's laughter.

Again, Ryota explains about the pets and Mary asks for the juice, and he gives it to her; she even praises him and pats his head like a dog, but complains that the straw isn't in and he apologizes.

There is what appears to be a break in time, where Yumeko Jabami appears walking into her classroom. The teacher announces her arrival and she enters, all awed by her beauty. She introduces herself and everyone applauds. Instructing her to sit down, she asked Ryota to show her around the school as a class representative, and he accepted. Outside, Yumeko praises the school and says she was happy to have transferred. Ryota asks her if she knew the stakes were very important and she says yes, it was a very unique environment, but he tries to warn her not to get involved as the stakes were too high. Yumeko notices Ryota's ID and asks what it was, but he doesn't. She just said she hardly expected it.

Back in the room, several students ask her several questions, but Mary makes everyone move away. Approaching Yumeko, Ryota takes her bag and she introduces herself; when Yumeko went to do the same, she interrupted her and asked if she would like to bet with her. Before Yumeko can respond, Ryota tries to say that she doesn't know how to bet and Mary scolds him. Yumeko agrees and again Ryota interferes, but again Mary scolds him. She asks what they are playing and answers it with Rock, Paper and Scissors for Voting. Ryota interferes and is reprimanded.

Yumeko asks how it works and Mary claps her hands, having the game preparations started and finished. She then explains the rules of the game and chip values; Ryota complains about the absurd value in such a game. Mary lets Yumeko choose how much to bet and, for the first round, she chose two chips; Mary asked them to vote. Ryota explains the in-game odds, after which the two play; the victory belongs to Yumeko. For the next round, Yumeko bets fifty chips, much to everyone's surprise. Ryota tries to stop her from doing that, but Mary scolds him.

Agreeing with that, Mary asks everyone to vote. They pick up their cards and play: draw; then they play again: Mary wins; she celebrates. For the next round, two chips: Yumeko's victory. For the fourth round, Yumeko again bets fifty chips; Ryota even tries to interfere, but Mary stops him with just a look; she praises her and asks them to vote. Yumeko puts her hand in her pocket as she watches her. Both play: draw again, then play again: Mary wins. She thanked him for the five hundred thousand yen. Yumeko has already lost a million yen.

When Yumeko hesitates, Mary teases her. In the fifth round, they bet the last twenty-four chips and the victory again belongs to Mary, who celebrates. Ryota takes Yumeko's bag and encourages her to leave, but she asks to get more chips; Ryota even tries to stop her, again gets scolded; Mary allows, but in her mind, calls her an idiot and laughs, explaining her cheating. Disguising his intentions, he kindly asked how many chips he would be taking and Yumeko replied that it would be one thousand, the equivalent of ten million yen, and would bet everything on the next round. When Mary asked how she expected to accept such a bet, Yumeko claiming they didn't say if there was any limit, but Mary was talking about the guarantee that she could pay ten million.

Yumeko asks Ryota to give her her purse and, from it, withdraws ten million yen in bills, scaring everyone. When Mary points out that she is crazy, she just refutes, talking about how crazy was the best feeling in a bet; this time, with Mary hesitating, she teases her as she had been before, but Mary agrees to participate. Yumeko started to laugh, excited to keep playing.

In another room, Sayaka Igarashi comes next to another one, holding a file that says "Yumeko Jabami."

The episode ends with Ryota wondering who Yumeko Jabami was.
