| =P Just joking. I wish i knew japanese so i could read the manga I don't like waiting a whole week just to see one episode >.< |
  |
| You and me both. It's painful waiting for the next episode, especially when Triad feels like messing with people's heads. |

| Yeah !! The realesed Kaiji 18 quickly so i though 19 would come soon. But it took more than a week and i was dying to see the ep. It just drove me crazy. Because of things like these i just started a japenese class >.< |
|
| damn. I love this show. I predict he's going to turn emo cutter next ep. (jokes..) |

| the issue is that the preview has his entire face cut up...so I believe he's going to use it as a diversionary tactic much the same way tonegawa was talking to Kaiji. |
 |
| Awesome episode. I never thought that Tonegawa would have so hi-tech cheating device. |

LOL Kaiji won't turn emo next episode, he is like the pure essence of 'gar' - Those are 'manly' tears I tell ya :) I mean, one look at the mullet and you just know he plays drums for a Led Zepplin cover band...;) |
| Guess Tonegawa isn't the devil we all thought him out to be.....he is just a cheating bastard!!! I guess it doesn't come as that much of a surprise though as we aren't dealing with the nicest people in the world here. Episode 19 was another awesome episode and I've said it before and I'll say it again. The atmosphere displayed when Kaiji was choosing what card to play was 2nd to none. Truly well done. I hope episode 20 is out quicker than it took 19 to get released as it looks to be epic. |
| good episode!!!! the music played when kaiji punched the mirror was amazing. its building up to something so big...!!! |

 |
| Kaiji is finally starting to feel like Kaiji again, ever since the beam walking stuff it has been nothing but psychological bs and we haven't really seen him using his head to outsmart anyone. |
  |
| This episode rocked. |
| Well, a common way to beat a lie detector is to make yourself feel pain to screw up your heart rate, perspiration, and such... I thought Kaiji was going to be doing something similar, but his blood-covered face in the preview for the next episode makes me wonder. |
| Man I saw the image of kaiji's face with blood before I even watched this episode. And I was bummed because it looked like the drill went in or something. After watching this episode I honestly don't know whats going to happen ^^ GIVE ME 20 NOW |
 |
| Well, the whole theme of a great mind game between Tonegawa and Kaiji just went out of the window. *sigh* I knew he was cheating from around the Episode 17 mark, but I didn't want to believe it. This was another great episode, but I wish the show could move faster at times. |
| Another intense, and awesome, episode =P I wonder what kind of plan Kaiji has for the mirror in broke (probably something to do with his blood, and his vitals). |
| Wow, I am really curious as to what his plan is. |
 |
| Good to see the real Kaiji is back. |
 |
| So by injuring himself he tries to create irregularities in his physical condition to full the device? Anyway it was an interesting revelation, the moment Kaiji said that he's the one seeing his cards I knew sth was up with that device on his ear, still a great if extremely sadistic plan from the bad guys and well-laid too, the only the things that were a bit too much was the acuracy with which Tonegawa could tell Kaiji what he was thinking a few episodes ago... |
| Now that was interesting turn of events.. After that punch in the mirror.. I've predicted a little for the next ep.. I wonder what is that accomplice for.. |
| Good stuff, probably the first episode in this arc I actually liked. |

| Man, now I really want Kaiji to win :) |
Winners and Victims stand alone!! |
| Another great episode.... It'll be interesting to see what Kaiji's strategy is. |
| I still don't really get why all those people who fell from the first bridge had to stay there. What's the point? |
| Holy mother of intensity. |
| maybe its the pain that will affect his heart rate, or affect how he stays calm? |
 |
| Oh man, Kaiji get inspired. That was freaking badass. Here's what I think is plan is. By destroying his own hand, he completely mess up his own signal and get pumped on adrenaline. By doing so, he'll be able to neutralize Tonegawa advantage. The other thing is that the people behind him can send him signals. Of course, it's extremely risked for them. I just can't believe that he was winning only due to cheating. If that's the truth, that just so... cheap. |

 |
| Oh my god, so intense. This show. Just this fucking show. It's addicting as hell. I love the way Kaiji figured out that Tonegawa was cheating. He's very, very perceptive. Now I wonder why he broke the mirror. I was guessing it had something to do with his blood pressure, but apparently not since people here are saying it's something totally unexpected. Now I'm afraid to read the rest of the comments for fear of spoiling myself, lol. Well, let's watch the next episode! |
| The beep that signals the end of each drilling was a lot more agonizing to listen to than the drilling itself lol Kaiji was right about the pressure the twisted Director gives to Tonegawa and it looks like it won't be pretty for anyone if either of them ends up losing. The watch being a vitals reader sounded far-fetched but with all the analysis given, it just might be their little trick. I bet that the Director thought:"How the hell can you fuck up even when you already have a foolproof system to assist you?!" xD The moment Kaiji said that he'll extend the bet to 18mm, I'm sure that he'll win coz he surely can't die after going this far~ That mirror scene was so badass and it only made me more excited on how his bloody plan will work. |

| I don't know if I would call that cheating, because it's not like he can see the cards, if Kaiji could control his heartbeat it would be useless. |
 |
| What a hype ending! Glad I didn't watch the preview, can't wait to see what's in store! |
 |
| I really want to know Kaijis plan to win this. |

| I don't know what he plan but I had an idea he would do something change his heart rate and blood pressure in other words losing blood. |
| Whoa, Kaiji slowly catching on to Tonegawa and the director's dirty trick was just...mind blowing. It didn't even occur to me that they'd be cheating since Tonegawa seemed so damn confident...and I believed him when he talked about his ability to read people. I'm dying to see the next ep. |

| Much better than the last episode. It seems that Kaiji has a plan to defeat Tonegawa. So, Tonegawa is cheating. |

| Holy shit this is so intense |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| I see. Kaiji punching the glass will mess with his vitals and confuse Tonegawa |
 |
| Ah, the problems with having a sequel. I was honestly quite on edge during this gamble. Its been very interesting. However the second Kaiji bets that 18mm and has the threat of death is when I stop worrying cause theres a second season, so we know he doesnt die. This is one of the reasons this would be really good to watch as it aired. Sadly I wouldnt have been able to do that anyway. But honestly the psychological games in this are really interesting. I can see why everyone points to this when dissing Kakegurui. I still like Kakegurui though. |
