Why are they using new "Zawa Zawa" sound effects? These new sound effects sound too feminine and less tense. Oh well that ending was fucking epic. GOT ME PUMPED!

This season's ZAWA's are poorly done :(

oo a game that is actually based on luck and has more complicated rules.

Predictable episode, but very entertaining.


That's the problem with Kaiji in general :-/

But it's always fun to see Kaiji in desperation.


Yeah, it's weird how predictable it is... But, the thrill of gambling keeps pulling me in!

That Ootsuki seem very cunning. Kaiji should be on his guard against him. He's the leader of the game, he didn't put those three special rules just for fun. He gain benefits from them.

Awesome, Kaiji is back. I preferred the old zawa though, hopefully I'll learn to love the new zawa just like the old one.

Predictable, first Kaiji wins, then he loses, then he wins, then they trick him and loses, then he wins but unfortunately he only back to the same situation he was in before he started.

Now this shit is starting to get worse.

Fine Episode.

They're the same band who sang the opening song of Parasyte~ Listening to them for two cours before really made them grow on me lol

Cee-lo! No wonder it was familiar~ It was the same dice game they played in JoJo part 4. That Foreman looks really suspicious with the dice. It's unusual that all of them would get a roll while Kaiji didn't get anything for 3 tries in a row after betting high.

The Narrator sounded like he was motivating Kaiji to get mad lmao He hated it!!!!!! After losing in a shady game, he remembered the filthiness of underground gambling that required him to go big or go home. I hope Kaiji knows what he's doing.

Still getting used to the new zawas, that weird girl in the ED and the funny unusual proverbs at the end xD

Hmm,it was a good episode,but it's lacking the intensity from season one.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

Why Kaiji becomes like this, this game is a pure chance right ? no strategy no trick, Kaiji just prayed for his luck, I guess he forgot that was the reason why he lost to Hyodo.

OP is not as catchy as first season OP, but the ED is catchy as hell.

This was a good episode. I really love how this arc is setting up so far.
Also, this Opening 2 is pretty good. I really love to see that Kurosawa had a crossover cameo in the Opening. :)
As others said, the new zawa is pretty jarring to hear. Oh well, I'll get used to it!

Ok, Kaiji is now a gambling addict lol. He's starting to resemble Yumiko from Kakegurui now. "This isnt a real gamble"

Im not sure where he got that scar on his face. Did he always have that and I just didnt notice?

Its funny though cause Kaiji has completely forgot what he learned at the end of season 1. Even a slave can win against the king. He thinka he cant lose against these guys since they're nothing like Tonogawa and the Director but chance is still a thing. And it seems to be biting him now.

Its really funny though cause recently Ive been really burnt out from re-watching anime since I stopped watching new seasonal anime for a while so I didnt have balance. And now that Im finally watching a new anime Im getting that feeling of excitement again. Its very similar to what they're talking about here with Kaiji's feelings with gambling.

I'm half-and-half. I kind of get the gist of the dice game but it's definitely somewhat boring. SO much time exhausted on simply explaining the rules.
But I appreciate the game for what it is. It's logically one of the few games 'prisoners' in Kaiji's position would be allowed to play.

I just turned 21 and gambled for the first time today. Pretty much coinciding with me picking up this series. Which I think is cool. I've got some extra appreciation for this arc now.

That isn't to say I'm not a fan of the arc. It's still pretty intense. Already, as of Episode 2, it's been an emotional rollercoaster. Poor, poor Kaiji. I'm intrigued though and excited to see where this goes.

But I actually just wanted to comment to say -- eh, at least (as of Episode 2) the laborers aren't treated like animals. I mean... they are. But it's cool that they can buy beer and snacks every once in a while. Play games, this and that. Shower. Socialize.
The hot and dirty constant manual labor probably sucks but none of the workers looked like they were going to collapse and die. If you could limit the time interval to a year, you could probably get relatively jacked while saving some money for the outside world.
The kicker is actually being confined against your will for 10-15+ years!!
