Synopsis

After discovering that his orphanage was on the brink of closing due to financial stress, Finn, who was living freely on the streets, set out for a casino with the aim of making a fortune. However, nothing could have prepared Finn for the nightmare that was awaiting him. Once there, Finn encountered a car chase and bloody shootout caused by a man's "lucky" card. Finn will eventually learn what the shootout was about. The world order can be controlled by a set of 52 X-Playing cards with the power to bestow different superhuman powers and abilities to the ones that possess them. With these cards, people can access the hidden power of the "buddy" that can be found within themselves. There is a secret group of players called High Card, who have been directly ordered by the king of Fourland to collect the cards that have been scattered throughout the kingdom while moonlighting as employees of the luxury carmaker Pinochle. Scouted to become the group's fifth member, Finn soon joins the players on a dangerous mission to find these cards. "All you need in life are manners, dignity, and the will to bet on your own life." However, Who's Who, the rival car maker obsessed with defeating Pinochle, and the Klondikes, the infamous Mafia family, stand in the way of the gang. A frenzied battle amongst these card-obsessed players, fueled by justice, desire, and revenge, is about to begin! Are you ready? It's Showdown!! (Source: TMS Entertainment)

Alright a pretty solid finale. The buildup that we were following all this season is here but It kinda feels rushed in some parts. It isnt the best closing to a season but it atleast made me hyped again for S2.

Things are starting to get real here. What is Chris's Goal? like what are his true intentions? The emotion and the stakes feel genuine again. This is a pretty good solid episode after what happened in episode 10.

They showed us Chris's backstory and the delivery was kinda clunky. kinda felt like they infodumped us instead of showing it. The lore is interesting but the episode was kinda the weakest of the season for me.
