A little analysis of coffee creamer arc of usogui.
Hal lost his memories, and the referees were trying to capture hal, because they dont want the public to know about the leader kiruma souichi, because they cant let anyone know of hal's weakness, coz of stl Now hal becomes hachina naoki persona, and meets gakuto, and then agrees to help him to solve those two cases, of money laundering and the weapon smuggling case, hal goes to search for the client who requested the money to launder, hal beats some guys who were waiting for that guy to get the money, and gets the money for himself, then hal has to find out the location and name of the ship that is smuggling the money, and hal knows that the client knows it, (the client is the guy who played the gamble with hal)
hal already plans to use the laundering money to lure the client kidou in his future plans to stop the weapon smuggling, hal finds out that, kidou is in a restaurant, he goes inside to get information from kidou, and he already formulates the plan, he figures out that the client is a gambler, so hal acts as a debt collector from a casino, hal keeps the baggage on the counter for his plans, then he pursues kidou (the client) cold reads him acting as a bill collector, kidou falls for it and then arranges a gamble (as predicted by hal that kidou will arrange a gamble, so hal kept the baggage at the counter so that the waitress would ask him to get the baggage, with which hal can act like he's getting that baggage while he's going to prepare for his plans) now kidou explains him the basic rules of the coin pushing game, kidou just wanted to get rid of hal (debt collector persona) kidou arranged this game coz he's good at it so he guarantees his win, then right after kidou explains these game rules, Hal predicts everything that is going to happen from now on, the waitress immediately comes to hal as hal predicted, and asks him to take the baggage, and as hal predicted, he gets up to take the baggage, while taking 18 creamers also hal secretly takes a number 6 creamer for his strategy, note that those 18 creamers are advantageous for kidou (it would look like that) while hal is the one who takes the advantage.
now hal has seen a much better way to play this coin pushing game, basically by using the coffee creamers as dice, so hal has to manipulate kidou to bring the coffee creamer rule, and then hal can proceed his plan, so basically hal predicted everything because the coffee creamer has a strategy, that is hal can join two coffee creamers beforehand without kidou even realising, and it would look like its one coffee creamer, so hal has to bait kidou into taking this 2 in one creamer but he has to control the entire game progress, because those 2 creamers need to align with the victory of hal, one creamer that kidou is going to choose has to align with kidou's victory, meanwhile the creamer that is secretly joined by hal is going to make hal win, so hal takes 18 creamers precisely that kidou is going to use for his advantage, and note that every single one of those 18 creamer is special, and hal has already predicted how exactly kidou would distribute those creamers, hal has already predicted what 9 creamers he would receive from kidou, and he had even memorized all 18 creamers in a single glance, so by asking the waitress to bring those 18 creamers near hal and kidou's table, so that kidou gets tempted by those 18 creamers and use them as dice in the game without even realising he's getting manipulated by hal, then hal intentionally lose the game, obviously to manipulate kidou to arrange a new fair game, hal also acts dumb intentionally, then kidou arranges a new set of rules for the game with coffee creamer, which hal had already anticipated, and hal knows exactly how kidou will distribute those 18 creamers, kidou basically used creamers coz of the certain win strategy, which hal obviously noticed it, hal chooses to defeat kidou in this way so that now kidou even asks for betting money, because hal wanted to tempt kidou for his future plans in battleship arc, now after explaining the modified rules, kidou asks to choose 1 creamer from each side to decide who goes first, the bigger one would go first, hal chooses 66 and kidou who knows hal's creamers and the locations of those creamers knows that hal has chosen 66 number creamer, so kidou chooses 72 number creamer and goes first (going first is also a strategy to win), now hal picks up both of those creamers and acts like dropping them and hence joining the number 6 creamer he had with him with the number 72 creamer, and then he keeps the 66 and 72 creamer in a glass, kidou doesnt notice that he joined 6 and 72 creamer, and now hal has to bait kidou to choose this 72 creamer that was already used for choosing who goes first, to win the game with that 72 creamer, but since 6 is joint with that, kidou would have to choose the number 6 creamer forcefully, and this creamer would turn the tables making hal win, so in order to even make this strategy possible, hal has to make 72 and 6 creamer align with each other in such a way that 72 would decide kidou's victory, while 6 will decide hal's victory, hal has to control the entire progress of the game, getting himself in a losing situation, where kidou can win with a number 2 creamer, and that number 2 creamer is number 72 creamer because of the 2, while in order for hal to win, if kidou gets a number 6 creamer, kidou will completely lose, so hal had to manipulate every turn of the game, every choice of coffee creamer, and hal Manipulated kidou to even bring money in this game, even the wager was decided by creamers, so hal predicted even this, and finds a way to bait kidou, remember the baggage? It has 100 million money, hal exposes that money to kidou suddenly out of nowhere, he completely exposes that he has the money kidou requested for, which shocks kidou, this money is very important for kidou like his life is on the line, hal made this move to manipulate kidou in many different ways, like increasing wager in a unique way, hal wastes half of those 100 million in front of kidou on coffee creamers, acting as he's aligning them while he's baiting kidou to get that money at all cost, and that would make kidou choose the 72 creamer that was already used and joined by hal, hal has about 50 million yen now, hal even wasted this money so that kidou tells him the name of the ship and the location, and kidou does exactly that, hal wanted to bait kidou to take the money and flee, so progressing the game, hal makes the game situatuon in such a way that, now kidou has only one move to win, if kidou chooses a number 2 creamer he will win the game, however kidou already has 21 number creamer on him, but kidou doesnt choose that creamer even tho he can win it, because 21 would not equal the wager to 50 million yen, kidou wants to take all of the remaining money which is 50 million and the 21 creamer would only make the wager to be 16 million, so kidou sees the 72 number creamer that was already used, and decides to steal that creamer, because 72 creamer would not only make kidou win with the number 2 dice, but also make the wager relative to 50 million, more than the amount of money hal had left, and hal was the one who created this entire situation, so kidou does exactly as hal wanted, he takes the 72 creamer, but as hal had joint 6 with it, kidou had to take the 6 number creamer forcefully, and then kidou is cornered, now the rest of the creamers kidou and hal had were also predicted by hal, with the rest of the remaining creamers,kidou will lose while hal will win so that's what he did with the creamers.
This is just a small feat but it shows hal is pretty good in foresight, observation and manipulation too brfore the stl.
