132: This will not be the last time I will say this but this arc is INSANE.

Spoiler for 132:

Round 19 starts. There are only 7 chairs left.

Yokoya is really pissed.

The person who voted for Harimoto reveals to be Ootsuka (Forelock)! The reason for this reveals to be Mikamoto (Office Lady)!

One of the mask guys explains: during the time the spectators stopped participating in the polling, Harimoto took the chance to set up two traps.

The video camera rewinds: Mikamoto approaches Ootsuka. She tells him that the last group standing will be her group but she tells him that she only wants to help Ootsuka. She takes off her glasses. She gets close to him and tells him that she had fallen for him at first sight. She then gives him one of Harimoto's coins. She further tells him that it is obvious that Harimoto is chosen to be the winner of her group and that if Ootsuka traded in this coin in the end, he wouldn't lose.

Another conversation between the mask guys: Mikamoto doesn't want anything in return. This is a powerful tactic not to make Ootsuka think Harimoto will be the winner, but it is to make Ootsuka believe in Mikamoto's feelings for him. This is why Harimoto is so frightening. While Akiyama and Yokoya uses mind games as part of their tactics, Harimoto uses the "Heart." (I guess that's how Harimoto got those 3 girls to work for him for free. For all we know, what he told them are all lies.)

Back to the video camera: Mikamoto approaches Ootsuka again and gives him a second coin. Mikamoto tells him that she is worried about Akiyama's group. She tells him that if only she knew Akiyama's chair numbers, it would guaranteed her group's victory. Ootsuka offers to tell her his group's numbers so that she could deduce what Akiyama's numbers are.

Harimoto knew everyone's chair number WAY before Yokoya found out about everyone's chair numbers!!!

Back to the videocamera: Mikamoto asks Ootsuka to vote for Kimura. Ootsuka tells her his group has already decided to vote for Kanzaki. Mikamoto tells him that she understands that and that Kanzaki will win regardless of who he votes. She tells him that Harimoto may give him another coin if he voted for Kimura.

The mask guys are impressed by Harimoto's tactics of using a person's heart. It is revealed that another person's heart is captured. It is Kanzaki.

Back to the videocamera: Harimoto catches Abe talk to Kanzaki again. Abe apologizes. Harimoto tells her it is okay and that Abe should "use" Kanzaki.

Abe approaches Kanzaki. Abe gives Kanzaki #15. She tells her that if she uses this number during the polling, she will believe in her.

The mask guys are speechless as to how far Harimoto had planned. In fact, Harimoto has never thought about which group (Akiyama's or Yokoya's) to ally with. Without allying with either group, he has manipulated both groups through Ootsuka and Kanzaki. Finally, Harimoto has now gotten Yokoya to lose his cool.

(I think it was mentioned before that Kanzaki is far more frightening than either Akiyama or Yokoya. Harimoto's tactics is entirely similar to Kanzaki's. They both use the "heart" to persuade others. Obviously, Kanzaki does not intend to manipulate others out of greed. I can't say the same for Harimoto though.)
