With so much violence, trickery, and disturbing goings on in “Kakegurui,” it will never be long before fans need a change of pace. Enter Ryota, a kind and friendly student who naturally blends into the background. After losing a match to Mary Saotome in “A Woman Named Yumeko Jabami,” he becomes a so-called “housepet” at the school, a fate feared by students. Starting with little self-confidence in his opening episodes, he begins to grow out of his shell after befriending Yumeko, who ups his social standing by giving him the money he needs to pay off his debt and end his subservience. The pair become friends after that — in fact, Ryota is Yumeko’s first and arguably best friend at Hyakkaou Private Academy.
While his peers often act irrationally and in their own self-interest, Ryota always remains level-headed and seems unable to hold a grudge against others, despite the competitive nature of the school. Being caring is a rare trait in the world of “Kakegurui,” but Ryota has it in abundance. Constantly worrying for Yumeko’s safety because of her daring nature, he is willing to gamble alongside her in the face of more intimidating students. Over the course of the two seasons, Ryota’s gambling skills continue to improve, as does his confidence. By the end of Season 2, Ryota and Yumeko have become the greatest of buddies, and their co-gambling has become incredibly heartwarming for viewers.
