One shows the heroine holding a “Thank You for Playing” sign—implying the developers intended a final reveal but backed out due to CERO (Japanese rating board) regulations.

Result: 100% win rate. Using a separate Cheat Engine table, the hacker freezes the “strip progress” variable at 5 (maximum). Then they apply the 0x4B4E4F42 write to the video rendering register.
