The government doesn't know how much money you or anyone else has in crypto. Why pay money they haven't asked for when you can gamble it and try make more?

Yumeko, while for the most part pretty silly and reserved, turns into something else once gambling is involved. Her depiction during games is demonic and otherworldly, her eyes shine crimson red, her aura is dark.

When she gambles against the rich and powerful she becomes a supernatural force. She values taking risks and doesn't value gambling for the sake of the materialistic profit, but for the sake of it. She defeats the rich and powerful in their own playing fields. It's always her opponent that picks the game and she goes with it, no matter how stacked it is.

Most of the wealthy people Yumeko gambles look decent - until they get pushed to their limits. Here is where the crazy faces come into play, showing the true nature of the gamblers. Their inward ugliness gets quite literally turned outside as they scheme in their superiority and get knocked down. When they look at Yumeko in her unhinged moments they see their own madness reflected in her crazy face.

Yumeko does not only defeat the rich, she dismantles them by showing them the other side of their own madness and where their unchecked gambling leads. She is what the ordinary student can't be: a vengeful spirit that does not care for her own well being and just relentlessly pursues the arrogant rich upper class successfully, regardless of the unbalanced system.

Ecchi and the over-the-top crazy faces are the most visible elements of Kakegurui, but they are flavour to the actual content. When you strip away the flavour you will find in the narrative core a power fantasy about dismantling the rich elite and giving power to the diminished lower class by a supernatural force that overpowers the unjust system against odds

Someone successfully fighting the elite and uplifting the powerless is a common power fantasy, as the struggle for one's existence is relatable to many people and it makes for engaging storytelling, as it's satisfying when a protagonist wins against systematic odds.
