They share a similar aspect of gambling which is cheating, Kaiji is more about figuring out how the opponent is cheating and its countermeasure while Tetsuya himself is well versed in cheating in mahjong being able to get away with implausible wins. Kaiji has a whole part dedicated to "minefield mahjong" which is a specialized variant unlike Tetsuya's case although sometimes conditions may be subject to change depending on the match. They're very tense gambling series involving ingenious breakthroughs/twists against formidable foes as well as working with partners like Danchi for Tetsuya or Miyoshi and Maeda/Chang and Mario (in later parts) with Kaiji.

Sugata is a similar character in emotional regard, while other series' gamblers tend to be stoic both Kaiji and Sugata let their emotions flow during the matches (even crying a lot). They both have evil corps to face such as Teiai with Kaiji's case which is deeply involved in the underground world of illegal gambling and orchestrates death games. In contrast, '81 Diver' has the Kishoukai, an evil shogi organization with a bunch of assassins at their disposal with a global scheme (they also share a nuclear "bunker"). Characters meet backbreaking gambles during their journey that require them to fight under unfair conditions. 'Kaiji's 3rd part'  read more

These series are both absurdly high stakes gambling manga, with absurd almost unrealistic win rates and feats.

- Usogui and Kaiji (the franchise) both have gambling as their main plot - Creative gambles that can often lead to confusion or having to read things multiple times - Interesting and smart mc's which aren't overpowered - Both have amazing art that can become abstract at times which makes them even more unique - People actually die (No Kakegurui bs)

Both are emotional rollercoasters written by the same mangaka.
