| Kaiji wins at being a real man in a way Akagi can never be. |

| I've been hearing a lot about the Akagi manga, is it actually over? My current guess for the ending is that Akagi surpasses the fatal blood extraction amount but somehow lives through sheer will (it seems like something he would do). |

| When you say that kaiji wins at being a man, are you talking about the obviously stupid Kaiji? or the "brave" persistent, but still idiotic Kaiji? i would say that Akagi beats Kaiji at being a man, in every possible way. Kaiji is foolishly brave. Akagi is brave in a smart way... |

| Kaiji being occaisionally weak is hat makes him a real (as in istic) man, whereas Akagi´s endless unflappability is what makes him a "real" man. Don´t get me wrong, I like both. But I would definately have to say that Kaiji is better than Akagi because he manages his victories despite his flaws. Akagi´s not particularly brave or cowardly, he just always has situations under his control, with the one exception of ep 14. Kaiji´s not an idiot, but he is fallible. So, for that matter, is Akagi (though rarely). Kaiji´s fallibility is subject to pressures that all of us would probably feel in the same situation. Akagi never feels any real pressure. So I´d have to say that, for standing and winning (mostly) against this pressure, Kaiji is a better, and more realistic, man. |

| I've seen only several episodes of Akagi. It didn't have such impact like Kaiji had within 4-5 episodes :) That's why my vote goes for Kaiji . |

He got a blood transfusion at the doc they stopped at where he picked up some drinks before he went to the mansion. |

| Kaiji actually had to work hard to win, while for Akagi winning came naturally. That's why I think Kaiji is the more interesting character. But still, they are both incredible characters, two of my favorites of all time. |
| Kaiji, absolutely. It's better and more original in every terms, even though I love both. |
