I feel like Ouma’s making a big point of how easy it is to lead Shuichi, before he even realises he’s being toyed with. If Shuichi had taken this interaction seriously - for one, actually questioning to him *why* he was playing these games - he would have caught on that he was being far too reactive.

Do you think the game master will take your objection seriously, especially when you rely on them to lead you in the first place?
