Looks like Kaiji got a good plan for getting his money back, good thing he figured out that Ohtsuki cheats, I wonder will they be fine with 1 cigarette per day, saving money is hard.. Anyways, this episode went fast as always.

Not much happened in this episode, but it will probably improve when they start gambling. The first arc of the first season was also kind of slow, after all.

Quote from Otsuki in episode 3: "Sometimes raw will weighs on the dice."

Loaded dice, anyone?

It's obvious what's gonna happen. Everything seems to be going well at first but then something unexpected happens and Kaiji loses in a big way.

Well, Most people won't remember me, but at the end of the first season i made a complaint.

"What was the point of this show? From episode 1 to now, it had some great exciting moments, but in the end, the only thing that happened was him getting a larger debt. There was no progress and nothing important happened besides him meeting a few people"

For a 26 episode series... that's pretty awful.

And around comes this season, I'm thinking, good, I was wrong, it's going to continue the story, and around comes the first episode... And i was right.

The first season is pointless. It's obvious kaiji has learned nothing, and in the end is no more skilled knowledgable or anything compared to the very first game of the first season. And he has a terrible personality, I can't even feel bad for him, because of how he acts and the things he does. He deserves his situation.

After watching this episode, I'm left baffled. Kaiji is a completely unlikeable character. He continues to be pretty awful all around, and his plans are garbage. This one day gambling splurge he's aiming for is also unrealistic, because frankly, he's a terrible gambler, and it even shows him being a absolute LOSER when he was "free".

I am going to keep watching this, i really hope it gets better and changes my opinion, but this episode... in fact all the episodes so far, feel like they are stretching out very little content over a long period of time. I thought DBZ was awful about still shots of faces and changes from person to person, or extreme slow motion(constantly), or "retakes" of different angles of the same action.

Hmm, so Kaiji at this point should have no challenges. Now that would be a boring show. Kaiji is re-learning since he has not truly gambled since he got his ear and fingers cut off. How can be a horrible gambler when he is just an average person gambling finding out all the tricks. He found out the foreman's tricks, he is going to win and go to the 'next level'. That is how the show goes. He is not Akagi.

every episode contains 5 minutes of content in Kaiji.

Kaiji has been pretty consistent with each episode equally mediocre so far. >_>

The narrator is probably my favorite character, just so great.

Felt perhaps a bit dragged episode since I hoped to see more things happening but I'm intrigued by cheating conclusion and Kaiji teaming up + making up his mind. Now I'm eagerly looking forward to the explanation about dices... I have a couple of theories.

Oh and I fucking hate with a passion the bitch at the end who does the "proverbs of Kaiji"... she's trying to be cute but she looks like a corpse, a fucking zombi. I WANT TO PUNCH HER IN THE FACE SO BAD OH GOD.

Yep, I mad.

I almost feel as though he is not only playing against Ootsuki, but against the chairman as well. After all, he was probably the one who thought of the idea of selling snacks as well as the whole system in general.

Kaiji has brilliant ideas but sometimes he gets too idealistic. I hope he won't lose any limbs so soon in the series.

I hope they each put down 20000 perica on ohtsuki's turn as dealer then they make use of the rigged die and then role triple sixes. Oh wait Ohtsuki said the 20000 limit was for the other dealers. So I hope they put down 90000.

Great it's cleared up that they were cheating all along. The first step to winning this is cooperation, should get very interesting from now on.

Revolution! Revolution!
Let's see if his team will stay loyal or, at least, not open their damn mouth.

I didn't catch what was Ootsuki trick, but I guess it was intended. It would ruin the fun of seeing Kaiji demolish his little scam.

I doubt it since they wouldn't get anything from betraying him in this situation. That is unless they think snitching to the foreman would erase their debts or something along those lines.

Now that was badass.
A generic anime would've had the lead character say, "None of us are worthless"; but this anime accepts the fact that these characters are worthless.
BUT! Just like how the slave beats the king in E-card, that's what makes them strong.

I suspect that's how Kaiji's mindset works. When he's not gambling and he's relaxed, he can't tell that someone is obviously trying to keep him down. Only when he's riled up does he become a genius, when he, "feels the flow".

And with that said, Kaiji created the Inspirational League of Perpetual Penniless Losers xD I'm rooting for them to exploit Ohtsuki's one flaw in his dastardly cheating and devastate him~

Ohtsuki waddling in Perico and the Zawas playing right at the Proverb girl's thighs made me laugh a lot in this episode.
