this episode cover at least 7 chapters !! .. at this rate it may cover the third part

I have 1 question .. in the last ,, did the foreman suggest to give kaiji 6000 berica or 60000? .. i am confused here .. because he said "sixty" .. then if it means 60000 then kaiji would’t mind that ..

because in manga .. he said " 6?" .. not "60?"

Awesome episode, Kaiji is just the most human main character you will ever see.

Am I the only person that was expecting his supervisor's laugh to sound like this: "yohohohohohoho"

After I watched this show I went and bought some Asahi beer and some snacks and got drunk with the sole intention of waking up with overwhelming feelings of emptiness and regret so that I could connect with Kaiji's character more.

I highly recommend the experience. :D

Kaiji...

INTHESHOWER IS BACK!

Yay.

I can't compare the anime to the manga and I doubt I'll start reading the manga now or ever, but I liked the first ep.

Duh it was rushed... We need action, not story!

I almost miss knowing the season 2 is out. Was this episode in the live action movie? I feel like re-watching the show again, hopefully new contents will be shown soon.

ZAWA ZAWA BABY

Interesting start, it's easy to see how Kaiji ended up the way he is, despite how he seems so determined. Goes from "I WILL SPEND NO MONEY I AM THE BUDDHA" to "MOAR FOOD MOAR FOOD OM NOM NOM NOM" in like 3 minutes. Guess I can't criticize too much, my self control is also horrible.

Oh yea I remembered the reason why I put Kaiji on my plan to watch in the first place. Fear, and loathing in las vegas performs the opening. Chase the light is awesome.

And Kaiji give that dog face in the ending to Aoki from Hajime no Ippo.

Dear god, that girl in the ED, she's terrifying.

Kaiji, you're so stupid. These are such obvious trap, that even a blind man would see them. You should know better...
At least, since he's good at crafting plan, he can maybe scam the scammer with this new game.

Dam Kaiji, you're pretty bad at resisting temptations lol. To be fair, the food looked pretty appetizing and they're fed crap everyday so it would be understandable for him to buy a pack once in a while. Whoever, the beer is just a luxury and then he goes on wasting more money on snacks as well >_>

A little disappointed in how Kaiji handled himself. In season one's first arc he learned to decide things for himself, yet now he is being tempted so easily.

All that debt made him so careless in his budget... Seeing Kaiji being so easily played into the Foreman's hands after all he went through made me sad. To be fair, you'd like to experience something good for once after a lot of misfortune but you can tend to get carried away.

The setting is interesting and there's a new kind of Zawa Zawa. The girl in the ED was both funny and creepy and the song used got the vibe from S1's OP lol "All this energy I spent jacking off." Lmao one of the best lyrics I've seen.

He's presented with another opportunity to gamble so I think that he'll hopefully start getting good again later.

Really lame start of the second season.
Kaiji is a gambling addict now.
He has to work all day long and he can't even control his needs, lame.
Lol, wtf is with that "girl" from the ending, that's too ugly and gross.

Is it just me pr there are no female characters in this show I just realized it after watching all of season 1!

Kaiji sure is fucked up but that's the only way to get out of the hole is the dark realm of gambling.

i heard the scream on the first part of the ep and got hxh and parasyte the maxim vibes. it really was Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas aaaaaaa. the episode really does feel rushed like kaiji gambles> gets caught by endou> gets sent to underground labor or something> gets broke again by spending all his pay> GAMBLING TIME!!!... i think he and endou needed more closure imo

Oh come on KAIJI!!!

I thought he improved!

Instead, this is a massive downgrade. He's still childishly naive and easily manipulated. Not to mention how easily his desires control his actions.

Truly pathetic...
