did i miss a sceme?... did Hayama meet up with Tozawa??

There wasn't a scene with Tozawa and Hayama meeting up but they've been showing clear friction between Sato & Hayama and now Oyabun flat out gives Sato the ok to take him out, so make of that what you will.

I can't say for certain Hayama was in on
Oyabun getting murked
but it feels like the bartender is feeding Tozawa info.

Oooh. I didn't read that deep into the scene in the car when they were going to the bar, but if Ishida did essentially give Sato his blessing to be the next in line, considering Hayama is supposed to be number 2 I could see what you mean. On top of the office scene after comimg back with the guns

That makes sense.... I was not sure if I missed something cause I didn't see Hayama with Tozawa, but there has been hints with tje bartender. Dropping glass symbolizing some shattering or cataclysmic event.

The tell is why is the character in the show? Almost no lines, no interactions, but twice he's lingering. it's actually pretty heavy handed and over the top.

Ebert has a rule about finding the killer or whatever in movies, it's called the the law of economy of characters

Any main character whose purpose is not readily apparent must be more important than they seem. Movie budgets make it impossible for any film to contain unnecessary characters. Therefore, all main characters in a movie are necessary to the story—even those who do not seem to be.

he's not a main character but you can apply the same concept: what is he doing there?

You're right amd I had been quetioning it from the get go, but I was purposefully not trying to get too meta with things and be absorbed in the story as if present as much as possible. I was intentionally not trying to be veer into the "conspirstorial/speculative" thinking amd hoping that the bartender was just that. A clumsy foil not serving more than a comedic relief. We shall see, but Ishida getting plucked off definitely changes things

Come across a few different things that have said we are basically just getting two seasons.

I hate it, but I understand.
