Yeah,some of them have huge debts,but lol, personally I wouldn't do this,not even for 100mio.

About the episode itself, I loved it. These twists bringing even more despair are great.

The electric bridge doesn't work out.
At the beginning, the blacksuit who touched it with the steel rod should have been electrocuted as the electricity would have passed through the rod and through his body into the ground (he was grounded).
Standing on the bridge and touching would not electrocute you as the voltage potential is the same across the entire beam (assuming negligible resistance) and the electricity would have no reason to pass through a high resistance human instead of a low resistance metal beam.
I am a physics student and this bugs me more than it should.

Whoa...this arc has given a lot of suspense so far. And it's also way more shocking than the janken card game because the stakes here are certain death rather than a possible death at a labor camp.

I like how it makes you question what you would do in that situation, too. Is it really worth it to kill/seriously injure someone just to clear your debt or gain wealth? I can understand survival instinct but it's not like Kaiji is dirt poor. I can see the allure, though. He's still in a dire financial situation and because of that, he can't move on with his life. And no, I'm not a religious person but this brings to mind a quote from the Bible, "What will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, yet loses his soul?"

This is what I expected the first walk to be. So when I saw it wasnt a huge fall I was surprised. But surely they're bringing out the real challenge now. We know Kaiji will survive it at least but Im curious to see who dies, cause there definitely will be people that die.

This will be interesting though cause of the electricution element which stops them from hanging on.

Hoh the stakes are higher than ever. Certain death, but a decent reward.
I wonder how many people in real life would accept this challenge for 10-20 million $

Look I get the stakes are high but it feels like something is not adding up. What are these people suppose to do with the people that die (regarding their debt) I know this is just a silly thing to increase the pressure for the characters and us viewers but yea when I look at this situation for it’s technicalities, it’s something worth questioning, even if they are rich bastards.

Im surprised I saw no one talk about this unless I missed someone but yea I’ve thoroughly enjoyed Kaiji without being nitpicky on some questionable things till this point.

what makes falling even worse on the first part is that they don't do first aid immediately after

Definitely a serious minigame for such amount of cash but there seems to be many risk takers and Kaiji of course is one of them
