To tell you the truth,I have my hopes up. I can see him surviving and maybe becoming friends with Kaiji somehow. It would make sense if you consider pic related and also Kaiji cheering on him and trying to help him. But the again I have no idea what's going to happen.

Speaking of One Poker, I really didn't think that Kazuya would cheat. He didn't even do it in a way that gave Kaiji a chance to retaliate, it was just luck that Kaiji happened to still have the toothpick. In the end, I guess Kazuya was just a stone-cold cheater like Muraoka rather than a "fair" cheater like Hyoudo. It also made me realize that every arc of Kaiji so far has contained some form of cheating, except for I guess RPS, and in the Bog Kaiji basically already knew the casino was cheating.

Beams didn't have any strategy to it.
Balls was a massive multi pronged plan that had both sides constantly bamboozling each other.

It's entirely mahjong and one arc literally took 20 years to finish, so keep that in mind. And Akagi is as far from a loser-kind as Kaiji from being a successful and adapted member of society, so MCs really differ.
Anyway, I read it after I saw Kaiji S1 and I really enjoyed it.

You definitely should. It's pretty hype too, but for different reasons. Akagi is a better written character as well, albeit not very relatable to.
>>
>>158254351
He'll probably die, there is no way to stretch this arc any longer.
Also I don't understand why Kaiji even wants to save him he is a rich spoiled brat who tortured people for fun, doesn't Kaiji despise such people? Why would he even care?
>>
>>158258376
Wouldn't it be kind of pointless if he just died in the end? That's probably because he has the potential to become better if someone shows him the POWA OF FRIENDSHIP.
>>
>>158258492
wew slow down there. I don't want that "nakama power" shounen shit in my fkmt manga alright? He tortured and indirectly murdered many people, are we supposed to forget all about it because muh friendship changed him, now he's a sweet cinnamon roll? That would be fucking retarded.

I understand what you are trying to say and I partly agree with you.

He is, he really is. He's so pure and moe that even a random black suit can't resist.

The only fkmt "bad guy" I ever felt genuine sympathy for was Washizu. He's just too full of himself, too arrogant and also his reactions are perfect. Well then at the end he even refused to kill Akagi so that made me respect him even more.

The ending of Washizu mahjong is really poignant. The respect Akagi and Washizu gain for each other feel perfectly earned since the match really is that titanic.

Washizu's thought process after drawing his winning tile is high literature tier.

>>158258890
Fuck me.

Are they catching up in any way, or are they just keeping a steady 100-chapter difference?
>>
>>158258767
The pacing is different in Kaiji and Akagi though. Akagis 2/3 are just this one game. Washizu is charismatic, smart, witty and he didn't cheat. All that he has he achieved by himself, with his intelligence and will power. At some point I actually started to cheer for him. Washizu was redeemed long before the end.
Now Kazuya on the other hand is just a rich spoiled brat, never achieved anything by himself, tortured people for fun, edgy. He never had anything appealing in his character at all.
>>
>>158258829
Well, now imagine he realizes he was wrong. And now what? Can you picture him suddenly becoming Kaiji's cool bro or something? How would that make sense?
>>
>>158259102
>He never had anything appealing in his character at all.

I don't know, I find him a highly engaging character. You really understand why Kaiji simultanously despises him and respects him. I don't want him to be redeemed, though. Even if he has some form of epiphany he still shouldn't bro up with Kaiji or anything.

Also, don't forget that Washizu is introduced as a serial killer who loves watching young men despair before they die. At the beginning, at least, he isn't that much better than Kazuya or Hyodo.
>>
>>158259301
Washizu didn't force them to play or anything, they agreed on their own. It's not like they would be dragged to underground mines if they refused to play. He was searching for a worthy opponent and was willing to take the risk too, unlike Kazuya or Hyuodo.

See this is why i don't believe the adaption can have been very good (despite never watching it), cause in the manga, Pachinko was one of the hypest arcs, if not THE hypest.

I really liked Salvation Game.

It was very different from the rest of the series. It was more a battle between Kaiji's idealism and Kazuyas cynicism.

Also, I'm not someone who needs a lot of "reasons" to not want someone to die in fiction. I really hoped the Asian Trio would get through everything alright.

Trust a jap, feel the slap.

Kaiji literally saved my life.

I was in the deepest NEET trenches, days passing like hours, not sleeping, not eating, you know. Highschool drop out, no future, etc.
Then I watched Kaiji, E-Card spoke to me. The emperor, and more important the slave. I was the slave, I had nothing to lose, so why not gamble with the house's money? Take some big risks, throw myself at life without any fear or worry. Make Tonegawa proud, that sort of thing.

and you know what? Life is great now. I'm in University for something I love. Grades are great, living comfortably. I've crawled out of the grave, built a future for myself. The best part is, I'm not the emperor, not yet. I could call myself the citizen sure, but why not keep living as the slave? Until I become the emperor at least. Kaiji is the best.

The thing about Tonegawa's speech is that although he tells the truth, he just says things that people already know or stuff that anyone can find out with the slightest bit of self reflection. He never actually tells them how to improve and better themselves given the situation they are in.

>>
>>158261396
>he just says things that people already know or stuff that anyone can find out with the slightest bit of self reflection
That's the thing.
There's a difference between knowing and doing.
Look at this board, how many hikkineets are there? How many underachievers? How many people who let chances to succeed at life pass by? How many perfectly know what they should be doing right now and yet do not do it? Thousands. And yet none of them care. They wake up and the first thing they do is get on this board to shitpost.

Knowing something and acting upon it are two very different things. Not many manage to do the latter. He's not supposed to spoonfed you the solution, he's supposed to make you realize what you already know, but truly realize it, so that you finally take that first step towards finding a solution for the core issue. Even just knowing yourself AND having someone tell you what you know but have never acted upon makes a big different, someone that is not you, something external.
>>
>>158261278
If you never gamble you never win. When behind you lay only the valley of death, any path no matter the danger is the path to success.

>>158261295
>>158261333
I just stopped being afraid. Every reason I was a NEET stopped mattering. Stress or social anxiety stop mattering when you realize even they are an improvement and a path to betterment. Other's opinions stop even factoring in when you decide your future and happiness are all that matter to you. You stop putting in your own chips, social standing, self confidence, comfort, etc. Those aren't what you're betting anymore. You've taken out a low interest lone and filled the pot.
Gamble on getting with that girl, or just talking to those people, who cares what happens? If you lose you're just back to where you were 2 seconds ago.
Gamble on getting into school, don't get in? Well you're right back to where you were before you made the bet.
Gamble on that GPA and making your student loans pay off. You lost? Who cares, you didn't have a future before all this anyway.

You're not playing with your chips anymore. You don't have any chips. You're the slave, a cornered rat that has no choice but to lash out. Claw and bite without fear, because if you don't you'll just be devoured by the cat anyway.

>>158261396
True, though E-card is a big metaphor on how to go about it. That combined with just being alive and awake in the moment.
>>

>>158261396
>with the slightest bit of self reflection
That's the point. When people don't have even that, someone has to show them that the hard way.

Fucking loved this series.
The ultimate comfy binge show, with the greatest suspense I've ever seen.
The fact that they didn't shy away from things like death, loss, finger loss, and BUILDING TILTING makes kaijis wins feel so much more deserved.

The second half of the bog arc did drag on a little too much but when kaiji put his eyes on the money and finally won
It was one of the greatest feelings I got from a fictional story.

RPS = E-card > 17 steps > dice > raffle = Bog > beams > salvation game. Mind you I love every gamble with salvation game being the only one I'd call a weak game since beam race was shorter and more intense for Kaiji.

That being said, beams and salvation game got me the closest to crying. Shit like pic related almost made me slump over in tears.

One poker is alright so far, I'm not too spoiled on it so I'm not sure what direction it will go. As a gamble so far I'd probably put it on par with Bog/tissue box raffle.

>>158263934
I had a pit in my stomach for a long time because I noticed that even though the other two had their moments of weakness, Mitsuyama was the only one who truly crumpled under pressure and played differently. Remember he apologized rather than try and convey they can trust him. It was a small crack, it showed he didn't think he COULD convey this too them showing a lack of trust and love the other two had. Mitsuyama was not as desperate as they were, he was the one who needed to do the game but he wasn't in as bad a situation as the other two who had no life before coming to Japan. The other two prioritize life and climbing out of hell, but Mitsuyama wanted to recover his pride. He's not evil, but that seed of darkness was something that in such a situation Kazuya really could take advantage and expose his inner wickedness and that he's more a piece of shit when it comes to his true character.

The ending is kinda abrupt but that's because the gamble is only half a story, it's entirely meant to set the scene for one poker. As shitty as the ending is because Kazuya wins the game due to the betrayal, he is completely shaken due to Chang, Mario, and especially Kaiji shattering his world view and revealing that there really are people who can choose to help someone even if they risk their lives in the process.

Also Chang is best Asia Trio member.

I'm surprised to see so many people in this thread saying they didn't like The Bog. It was probably my favorite part of the whole manga so far.

Death Note has cute boys, Kaiji has ugly old men with weird noses
>>
>>158264370
Yeah, Fukomoto did a great job establishing ahead of time who the betrayer was going to be. Mitsuyama seemed much more concerned with appearing good than he did actually being it. It's why I really like the ending, he keeps insisting that he's only betraying them because he can't trust Chang to not betray him, but as Kazuya keeps extending the timer and his excuses gets weaker and weaker, he's forced to stop his pretenses of nobility and essentially beg Kazuya to kill the others.

Mitsuyama was the kind of person that Kazuya was talking about the whole time: Someone who keeps trying to excuse himself and appear dignified even as he's killing his two best friends for money.

It makes Kaiji's instinctive altruism all the more satisfying.
>>
>>158264544
Are you somehow suggesting that Kaiji isn't cute af? And what about Akagi? He's a total bishie dish. And a silver fox to boot.
>>
>>158264450
I liked it when I watched all the episodes in one go but I can't imagine the suffering of having to wait each week to see if the damn ball would go in.
>>
>>158264798
That's all of FKMT really. Imagine reading Washizu arc for 20 years.
>>
>>158264450
I think the Bog got slightly stretched in the anime but honestly I only think like 2 episodes could have been combined, nothing drastic. I love it for the absurdity in how it's a game with zero skill or rationale in the game, it's two sides competing in fooling each other and trying to surpass the other in terms of cheating. Every tactic Kaiji does is a means of cheating a cheat or buying time for his cheating measures to take effect. The Bog is great because it surpasses bring a gamble and feels more like a bank heist.

>>158264587
That's why the salvation game is both the weakest gamble and strangely one of the strongest emotional moments in the series. It's a psychological study playing out in front of Kaiji where it starts being Kazuya waiting to be proven right and Kaiji hoping that Kazuya is wrong but as it goes along you see it develop to Kaiji waiting to be proven right and Kazuya hoping he gets proven right.

Kaiji instinctively saving them even though he knows it's not the smart move and hating himself for pissing his all important money away, but it shows the humanity in Kaiji and that he unfortunately is just a good person. Him being a good person is both a great strength and a great weakness as a gambler.

>>158264544
The only cute boy in Death Note is arguably L, everyone else is either insane like Light or has no personality whatsoever. FKMT guys look angular to say the least, but they have strong characters.
>>
>>158256847
Knifechins and big noses are instant pleb-filters.
>>
>>158256419
Why do you think that? Kaiji was made to suffer.
>>
>>158259473
>he was searching for a worthy opponent
Wasn't he presented as just a crazy (but successful, rich) asshole who thought he deserved to live more than talentless young people do, so he made up this whole kind of mahjong just to kill them? It's not supposed to be a fair game and he really wasn't looking for a worthy opponent, just to kill. Kinda spooky how we started off like that.

Yeah, although I don't know japanese nearly enough to get everything. I'm not really avoiding spoilers considering basically nothing fucking happens in the 90 chapters fkmtkrazy are behind on.

Are you for real? No one in DN can't even come close to the cuteness level of Akagi and especially Kaiji it's basically impossible.
>>
>>158264979
I feel the same.

If you approach the Salvation Game the same way you approach the Mahjong arc or the Pachinko arc, it's pretty boring. You have to approach it as its own thing.

It's one of the things I like about Kaiji. Each arc has its own style and feel to it. The Bog felt like a heist thriller while 17 Steps was a slow-burn stage-play. You certainly can't blame Fukomoto for not experimenting and trying new things.

Whats the difference between Hyoudou and Washizu
>>
>>158273544
Washizu has something of a nobility about him, which Hyoudou lacks.

I think the most telling difference between the two is their relationship with their underlings. Washizus henchmen basically venerate the man, and while he berates them and calls them idiots, Washizu still listens to their input and even (to their surprise) remembers their names.

Meanwhile, I never got the impression that any of Hyoudou's underlings actually like him. They all fear him, but none of them show the kind of adoration that Washizu's henchmen has for him. Hyoudou has his henchmen dragged off to be tortured if he doesn't like the tone of their voice. Hyoudou only positive trait (which Washizu also shares) is that he has a sense of "fairness" about the outcome of a match, but unlike Washizu, he'll cheat his fucking ass off while the game is going.

Washizu is a cruel, hateful man who's off his rockers, but he's nowhere near as vile and insane as Hyoudou.

>people liked the beams
>>
>>158274339
Beams were difficult to watch because they were essentially a bunch of poor, broken men panicking and dying miserably for the amusement of rich psychopaths. But that's also what I like about them: they were a great underlining to the point that "Gambling is not fun and you don't want to be these people. The gambling world is not your friend, it wants to lock you in an eternal debt cycle that slowly drains the life from your body".

They weren't really gambles, though, and I do think that Brave Men Road part 2 dragged on longer than it had to.

>>158275326

Kaiji is simply awesome, with more psychology and drama than any hollywood shit nowadays, the plot is simple but the feelings high, the life of a looser, first season is 10 and second is strikeback.

So yes, perfect

Shin Kurosawa is the only FKMT that I don't like. It's not needed and should be ignored because it takes away from the ending of Kurosawa.
