Ahhhhh finally over! Pacing was incredible bad for this arc but was worth it with the big win.

They made us wait and it was great, to be honest i wasn't expecting Kaiji to win, i just looked at the entries on MAL and when i saw that there were so many manga entries after Hakairoku i assumed he would fail here and try some other time. The ending scene with Hyodou also had me tensed up cause for a second i assumed he was talking about Kaiji and not Ichijou. I will admit i did as the crowd did for much of this ep, i cried when they did and cheered with them also.

I cried tears of joy when the balls went in xD. Finally, all of dem hard works paid off in the end. Hyoudou is a still a sick son of a bitch, I wanted to see Kaiji kicked his ass so damn bad :(

HAHAHA, holy shit, Hyoudou is hilarious. That ''Puuunishment!!'' was great. Poor yakuza, it must suck working for that guy.

Sakazaki entry was badass. Just throwing money like if Ichijou was his bitch.

Though, it's obvious that this arc dragged on for waaaay too long. During some episode, it felt like nothing happened. Hell, they used like one whole episode just to explain to the underground guys that Kaiji was playing for their life. Couldn't they have done this in less than 5 minutes? Geez.

Fuck, that was beyond exhilarating. Pure satisfaction, suck it Ichijou. Love how everyone lost their stack, just goes to show what gambling does to people. It turns everyone involved into raving demons twirling in a circus of madness.

I marathoned the entire Bog arc in one day. It was both one of the most mind-numbingly frustrating and unbelievably satisfying experiences I have ever had watching anime. Heck, watching anything.

As for this episode.

Finally.

That is all.

Pops ♥ When all hope is lost, he gave Kaiji the final push to overwhelming victory! He finally conquered the Bog!!!

The only unusual thing was that everyone heard the Bog's death rattles that didn't sound like the balls or machine but it was awesome lol

Hyodo's such a sore loser that he damned Ichijou to a little over a millennium of hellish hard labor and even dragged a stray sigher along with him. I wonder if he'll actually go through that punishment but knowing Teiai, he's in for it big time.

I can see how some feel very negative about the Bog arc, and I think I like other arcs more, too... but if you're binging it, it's still great! It's true that it's less about mindgames and such, but I would lie if I said that it wasn't incredibly exciting to watch!

The only reason why I wish it was shorter is, that we didn't get to see another game. We only got to see Chinchirorin and the Bog this season instead of 3 (or 4 if you count the lame tissue box thing) like in the first season. But if you think about it... Kaiji beat some devious people so far, and having him win against a impenetrable MACHINE as his final enemy is kind of awesome in its own way.

Side note: This anime almost makes me wanna gamble. I think I'm taking the wrong lesson from all of this lol

I will rate the second season a bit lower, but I still thoroughly enjoyed it. But if I had to watch this while it was airing I'd probably be exhausted as fuck right now. I can't imagine how awful this level of blueballing must have been.

Hell yes! One of my favourite episodes in the series, so much fun to watch! Excitement, happiness, relief, so many emotions! This was such a wonderful episode! I was hoping Sakazaki would show up! And the imagery in this episode... the immortal Kaiji army was amazing! This entire arc was awesome, kept me intrigued the whole time, and whenever I come to these threads, I'm so confused about how people think this season has pacing issues! I don't think this arc had a boring episode in it! Every episode was exhilarating! Every episode had me looking forward to the next one! Fuck, I still am looking forward to the next one!

Now, I can't say I love this game conclusion as much as the conclusion to the previous game, but it's really close!

Fucking Hyoudou.

Before I click Submit, I just have to say, I really liked watching Ichijou, more than goddamn Tonegawa, I think. Seeing the scene going back and forth from him to Kaiji, and how they always were hoping for the opposite, and trying to read each other was a blast, but what made him truly stand out for me, was how he was as fearful, worried and at times, confident, as Kaiji! Tonegawa had his moment of worry, during E-Card. The cheater had his moment of fear, at the end of the previous arc, but mostly, they seemed to, mentally, be above Kaiji. Like they viewed Kaiji as a Goomba in the way, and themselves as Mario, who could easily crush the weak opponent. This time, it felt more like a Goomba going up against another Goomba. Both were weak. It was so much fun!
Also, I loved his voice actor. Especially in this episode, when he was getting super worried, it was hilarious!

I really like how this second season had less interesting games yet focused in providing more tension. Not everything has to be the same. Great season!

I find it hilarious how no one comments on the obvious af cheating that the manager was doing. He had a million balls in there and they still didnt go in. Also find it funny how all these people who have nothing to do with Kaiji are crying from enjoyment and are so invested in this match lol.

But well he's finally done it. Honestly didnt expect this arc to go on for so long. I expected the final few episodes to be up against Hyodo.

Gotta say I prefer season 1. Season 2 just felt like an addon.

THE STRUGGLE IS FINALLY OVER

People's reaction when the balls go in was amazing too, I did cheer to Kaiji after the long mind game like this.

I can see why people don't like this arc because it took 5 episodes of Bog introduction and 10 episodes of Kaiji playing, should have been bit shorter tbh but I don't mind.

Finally Kaiji wins after so many denials. It took way too long but I'd say it was worth for Kaiji to not only win but completely own Ichijo. Ichijo got too arrogant and refused the draw earlier, now he doesn't get to take it and puts himself in much bigger trouble. Now to see how the money will be distributed. With Kaiji's kind heart he'd probably save 45ers and leave himself broke again. And also there's Endou waiting to screw him over with the contract.

Fok this shit. I just skimmed through the entirety of the last 4 episodes or so just to see if he wins or not. This is so dragged out and pointless. S1 was far better.

the part Kaiji said "I have been through hell and hell, but I will survive this, for I am Kaiji, the ultimate survivor" and survived all over the place was nuts.
