LIAR GAME Episode 23 Full Recap: The 17 Poker Mock Game
Episode 23, titled “中堅戦” (Middle Guard Battle), aired on September 7, 2026. The episode focuses on the losers’ revival round and the introduction of a new game called “17 Poker” (Seventeen Poker).
The episode begins with the mock game of 17 Poker starting. The game is essentially the same as standard poker, but with one critical difference: the joker card is overwhelmingly powerful. Whether a player holds the joker in their hand determines the outcome of the round, making traditional poker instincts dangerous.
Nao Kanzaki voluntarily participates in the mock game to learn the rules, despite being scolded by Fukunaga for her mistakes. She proposes marking the cards to control the game, but the organizers use brand-new cards every round, making card manipulation impossible. Nao suffers a complete defeat in the mock game and is harshly reprimanded by Fukunaga.
Meanwhile, Kikuchi, Nao’s opponent, reports that he has found a winning strategy and boldly claims that this method can only be used by him. The episode ends on this ominous note, setting the stage for the real match in Episode 24.
The Story So Far: Nao and Akiyama’s Journey
LIAR GAME follows Nao Kanzaki, a college student known for her extreme honesty, who receives a mysterious letter and a suitcase containing 100 million yen. She is forced into the Liar Game, a high-stakes competition where participants must deceive each other to survive and avoid massive debt.
Naïve and trusting, Nao quickly finds herself in danger and seeks help from Shinichi Akiyama, a brilliant former con artist who has just been released from prison. Together, they navigate a series of psychological battles against cunning opponents, with Akiyama’s sharp intellect and Nao’s unexpected honesty often proving to be their greatest assets.
The anime is directed by Yuzo Sato (chief director) and Asami Kawano (director), with Tatsuhiko Urahata handling series composition and scripts. Character designs are by Kei Tsuchiya, and music is composed by Yugo Kanno.
