Finn Oldman - High Card

[nafi-tan]

Theory Time

Honestly, I really like finding details in openings and endings. The first things I noticed while watching the new opening of High Card was this:

If we go by the clothes, this is Ban Klondike and he is in possession of the Joker. So there does exist one. We will probably get to know this through the new season but it still a nice detail in the opening.

Another thing is this in the ending:

We can see three people sitting at a table, drinking and playing cards. These are probably Ban Klondike (front), Theodore Constantine Pinochle (left) and Greg Young (back). As we already got told in the first season, these three have known each other for a long time.

BUT! If you look at at the ending picture in more detail you can see four people. Only the hands of the fourth person (right) can be seen tho. So this leads to the question: Who is this? We will probably get to know this in some time, still here is a theory:

What if this fourth person is the father of Finn? Wide stretch, I know, but listen. In the second episode of the first season, after High Card captured Finn, they suddenly employ him. There is no definite reason said why, but they offer to take him in. While working he can earn money and be protected from other people that are after his card. It‘s also possible they do that because they need more people to help collecting cards but why take some random boy then. Any why protect him? I think they could just have taken his card and that‘s it. But the order to make him an employe came from above, from Theodore. Later on the phone he tells Bernard to fire him if he is useless, but still. Maybe he is doing an old friend a favor or there is more behind it.

Another one is this:

At the end of episode 5 of the first season, Greg views Finns profile. He is not that expressive but it still looks like is thinking about something. Is his name familiar? Maybe he reminds him of someone?

Well, that‘s more or less it. It‘s been a while and I haven‘t fully rewatched the first season yet but these are the things I noticed and kept thinking about. Take it with a grain of salt. I also haven‘t really dived into all the other materials available about High Card. Maybe after a rewatch I‘ll add stuff or come up with different theories.

Thank you for listening to my rambling and feel free to add more or other hints :)

♠️♥️High Card Short Story 10 “A Visitor at Sunfields” (3/3)♦️♣️

While the three were having a small talk, something suddenly occurred to Finn, which led to an unexpected development!

Our conversation with Bernard-jiichan carried on for a little while. I spoke to Lindsey on the phone once a week, but we did not get to see each other in person often. Moreover, this time jii-chan offered his persective on the stories I’ve told him, so it might sound like something entirely new to Lindsey.

As expected from jii-chan, he took good care of me. I guess that is fitting for a gentleman.

Obviously I could not talk about the X-Playing cards, so I had to cut a large part out of the whole story about my job, but then again there was not much I had to do everyday as a High Card member. So far it’s enough to give Lindsey the gist of my daily routine.

“Oh, that’s right! I forgot about the most important thing.”

I yelled out.

“What is it?”

“Come to think of it, you mentioned that you might be going on a date today, didn’t you? How did it go in the end?”

At my words, Lindsey retreated and blushed.

“Wha……! Finn! W-what are you talking about?”

His eyes darted around helplessly while he was trying to steal a few glances at jii-chan.

“You told me that earlier on the phone, though? You were asked out on a date.”

“N-n-no, not at all. That’s totally wrong. I was just invited for a dinner… I already turned it down anyway.”

He put his hands forward, shaking them lightly.

“Clyde, wasn’t it? Stuff like accidentally touched hands when picking the same book at the bookstore… it sounds right out of a rom-com film!”

“H-hey, watch it. Don’t make fun of the adults.”

“At first glance he seemed to be tough, yet the eyes behind his glasses looked very kind, right?”

“I never said that!”

I pointed straight at Lindsey.

“Come on, take out your phone right away. Now make a call and tell him you want to meet up.”

“Ehh. No way, no way….. I’m unable to go either way because I have to keep an eye on the kids.”

“What do you think I came here for? I’ll babysit for about the next 2-3 hours. I’m definitely free.”

“But….. I’ve already refused him once, so…..”

“In that case just go on the next day. I’ll take my annual leave! Isn’t that right, jii-chan?”

As if pondering about it jii-chan remained silent for a moment, before giving Lindsey a small nod.

“I can’t guarantee that Leo-sama would approve your leave, but personally I will coax him to do so. However if it turns out that he still wouldn’t allow it… then, I hope you don’t mind if I come here myself.”

“H-how could you possibly say that! Bernard-san!”

“I knew it, jii-chan, you’re always a real one. Come on, it is already settled. Let’s make that call. Y’know what, I’ll do it myself.”

I straightened up and just as I was about to swipe Lindsey’s phone from inside his pocket, Lindsey turned his back on me and glared over his shoulder with a look of disapproval on his face.

“I-I got it, alright…..”

“Come on, make that call right here!”

“I’m not calling anyone!”

While saying so Lindsey fled from the room. I cackled out loud, and jii-chan had a faint smile.

In the end, Lindsey eventually went on a date with Clyde. Initially he appeared to be reluctant to go, yet he brushed his hair, trimmed his beard, and put on a suit which seems to be reserved for special occasions. The usual Lindsey is homely and easily forgettable, but he is honestly a handsome guy. Perhaps he used to be quite popular.

Once, I asked him if he was ever going go get married, but he said that he was too occupied with the orphanage to consider marriage. Apparently, he had been separated from his partner then.

However, I remember that at that time, with a smile blooming on his face as he hugged me, Lindsey told me that he was truly happy just to be with us.

That said, Lindsey also had his own life. He deserved a chance to spread his wings a little. If I managed to do well at Pinochle and get a raise, on top of buying the property, I would also be able to hire people. That would make things easier for Lindsey.

——Just like that, 3 hours had passed. Somehow Bernard-jiichan still kept up with me at the orphanage.

But our presence really did gave rise to a big fuss. Afterall, seeing an unusual visitor, moreover one who was willing to play with them, made the children very excited.

The first thing we did was to play chase. The kids had limitless physical stamina, and that aside they took turns playing, so I became reasonably exhausted. On the other hand, perhaps because jii-chan had a great sense of when to use his stamina, although he must have been running as fast as I was, he did not even seem to be out of breath.

Soon after that, a magic show was set up in the cafeteria. Jii-chan made use of handkerchiefs, trump cards, and other stuff which we already had at the orphanage, and tricked them to disappear or change—thus the kids got excited all over again.

The kids did not even spare a glance at me, but they seem happy nevertheless. Finally, as jii-chan said, “won’t we play together again when I visit?” the show came to a close.

At around the same time Lindsey came back home, so I asked, “how was your date?”, and while looking embarrassed he gave me a V-sign using his fingers. It was known for a fact that this guy enjoyed romance novels and films, but when it comes to his personal romantic ventures, I had no clue about what kind of guy he was. I really did not get what a V-sign means, but I guess I’ll ask him on the phone next time.

Then when the night fell, jii-chan and I hopped to our cars and returned to the branch office. The kids waved their hands at us as they usually did, but this time I’m sure they were directed at jii-chan.

I swear if High Card kills off Chris fully I'll be sad because he has so much chemistry with the group.

I also hope Vijay gets to do something this season... where is his backstory? I wanna know more about him.

New Trailer for Season 2 of HIGH CARD Released

A brand-new trailer for the second season of HIGH CARD has been added on the official anime website! The anime will premiere on January 8, 2024.

[nafi-tan]

About Iris Moise and the Ace of Clubs

In the latest episode (Ep. 14) Sugar tries to find information about Iris Moise and discovers the autopsy report of the girl. She died a year ago.

It could be a fake report, but why declare her dead if she isn’t? This reminds me of something else. In episode 5 we get told the founding legend of the Kingdom of Fourland. There we are shown the aces of every suit. The one that‘s interesting for this is the Ace of Clubs.

This card depicts a skeleton. Skeleton = Death. The suits of clubs so far included abilities that involved elements and nature. Death is a part of nature as well, right? What if this card allows necromancy?

But then, even if you are dead, can you still use a card? If we look at the official sources, Iris is the player of Eight of Spades. So yeah, I am not really sure.

Another thing:

Because of this conversation in the first episode I thought that maybe Tilt is the owner of the Ace of Clubs. My trail of thought was that Tilt revived Iris and that‘s why she is loyal to him. But this can be scrapped.

If we take a closer look at the key visual of the new season, there are spade symbols seen on Tilt‘s gloves, so he probably is the owner of a spade card.

Another question that also pops up: If the Ace of Clubs does revive people, then how long does this last? What happens if you remove the gloves again? Is there a limit to how many people you can revive at a time? And is the power maybe something entirely different?

Well, thank you for reading and feel free to add your ideas :)

♠️♥️High Card Short Story 10 “A Visitor at Sunfields” (2/3)♦️♣️

Finn has finally arrived at Sunfields. In the director’s office, there was…?

I parked the company’s car in front of the old gate. As soon as I got off, the children noticed my presence and approached me from behind the gate.

“Oh! It’s Finn!”

“Hey, souvenirs! Did you get us souvenirs?”

When I stepped in, several kids ran up to me and clung to my waist.

“Gah—watch it! This suit is expensive y’know, wash your hands first!”

“Sweets?! Pastries?! Juice?!”

They were so absorbed in the paper bag I was holding that they did not spare a moment to listen to what I said.

“That’s exactly why, I told you guys to wash your hands before. Imagine eating scones topped with dirt… gross.”

I accidentally let it slip out. Hearing that, the children’s eyes lit up.

“Yaay! Scones!”

They rushed off to the washroom at once, until not a single kid was left standing.

"What the hell, they're all little gold diggers!"

As I said this, a smile bloomed on my face. It was not that being here makes me feel at ease or nostalgic, but I feel like this is where I am supposed to be.

Walking down the corridors where I had played tag in hundreds of times, I soon found myself in front of the office. When I can not find him anywhere, Lindsey is usually there.

Grabbing on the doorknob like I had a thousand times before, I pushed it open without knocking.

"......I knew it, it must be you. I was wondering about that expensive car that totally doesn't belong here."

"Welcome, have you been well? Finn-san."

It was Bernard-jiichan. He was dressed in a heavy, brown coat that gave him the impression of an all-around gentleman.

"If you're coming here, why didn't you say anything to me?"

"Because it's a surprise."

"What are you even planning. I've had enough tests already."

Bernard-jiichan was sitting in a sofa. Across the low table in front of him was Lindsey.

"It's the same for Finn, you always come over unannounced. Besides... I don't believe you usually talk to Bernard-san using that tone, do you?"

"C'mon, it's alright. Even though I'm like this, I'm actually quite decent at work, y'know? Right, jii-chan."

Without saying a word, jii-chan smiled as his eyes turned into crescents. "See?" I glanced at Lindsey, returning the stare he gave me right back at him.

Lindsey stood up and put his hands on his hips, sighing. And then while retying his apron, he moved to the mini-kitchen. From the cabinet, he took out a mug.

"That aside, what do you say when you get home?"

"Got it, Lindsey. I'm home[*]. I brought you scones, but the kids got a hold of them right away."

"Meaning they're as good as gone now. I only hope they won't fight over it."

Lindsey poured hot water from the teapot into the mug.

When I plopped down on the sofa, jii-chan who occupied the space next to me jumped in his seat a little as a result, to which I muttered a small apology.

"So, what are you coming here for after all, jii-chan."

"To exchange a few words with Lindsey-san, of course. Finn-san has recently become an employee and finished his first job... therefore he must be relieved to hear it."

"I was told a lot about you."

Lindsey put down a mug in front of me. It was a steaming cup of cocoa drink. When I was little, I was always given a cup whenever I won a school race, or when I was comforted after getting scolded. I used to beg him to add more sugar, but now it is too sweet for my taste. Nevertheless right here I want to drink this cocoa.

Lindsey returned to his previous seat.

"He isn't causing you any trouble, did he? Well, I know he must be, but still..."

"What's up with that remark. You really have no trust in me at all, huh."

"I mean, Finn... I didn't expect him to be accepted into big company like Pinochle, okay? What's more, he isn't working at the factory... he's dressed up nicely and selling cars to customers, isn't he?"

I grabbed my collar and fixed it dramatically.

"I snatched a great customer right off the bat. He's called Apple-san, and he seems to be super rich. On top of that, he wants me to be his escort."

"Finn working for Pinochle Automobiles and tending to the big guns... I can't imagine it."

Jii-chan chuckled, his mustache shaking.

"Finn did his job well. What's important are manners and dignity. Certainly, one can learn how to speak and etiquette, but... things like nobility and the strength of one's will can't simply be taught. Surely, it is in this place that he earned it from Lindsey-san and his fellows."

"Is that really how it is..."

Lindsey was not exactly convinced, and still could not believe it.

"In that case, feel free to drop by and see him at work next time."

"That's... I'd feel like I'm intruding."

"No, no, we don't mind at all. Please visit us anytime. I'll let my superior, Leo, greet you."

"Leo-san! I'd be honored to meet him. I heard that he's a pleasant young man."

"Urgh. You don't have to meet the boss baby."

"Why though. He must be a great person. Just the other day, you spoke good things about him on the phone, didn't you."

"Idi.....! Lindsey, stop spilling everything in front of jii-chan!!"

It followed that jii-chan chuckled, his eyes once again turning into crescents.

TL notes: Oh, this one's really fun. Also, now I'm wondering how much of big brother energy Chris has to outmatch Finn's (Sunfields resident big brother apparently) lmao. I’m in no way a professional translator so if you find any mistakes, please do not hesitate to inform me right away. [*] Tadaima
