Episode 6 Story

Yuji Fukunaga reveals himself as "X" and boldly declares his victory. He claims to have orchestrated the game so that he would emerge as the final winner, asserting that Akiyama will never be part of the minority. Fukunaga then explains the trick behind how he was consistently able to join the minority group and advance through the rounds, outlining his blueprint for a complete victory. Nao, shocked by how her trust was manipulated and betrayed, is moved to tears.

Upon hearing the elaborate plan, everyone in the room becomes certain of Fukunaga's win. However, Akiyama is the only one seen with a subtle smirk. Understanding that there is a flaw in the "invincible" strategy, Akiyama had been focusing his nerves on one specific detail among the participants since the start of the game to assess the situation. How did Akiyama see through the schemes of "X"?
