| FUCCCKKK, need to wait one more weeeeeeeeeekkkkkkkkkkk to see them DIEEEE |
| haha god damn cliffhangers. So epic, they can make anything look crazy. I bet they could make someone going to work be something epic |
| Next week can't come soon enough. I really love how they switched the perspective from Kaiji to the Foreman. It's a very subtle trick to give us a more in depth view of the villain. I noticed they did it at almost all 'battles', except the endboss from Season 1. ZAWA! GO KAIJI! |
| This is so fucking epic, once again I can't wait for the next ep. |
| Totally game over for the head honcho |
| If your going to complain that Yu-Gi-Oh! Mangas are on the top NY times manga best sellers, you must not realize how popular Card games are(as well as the fact that you get a free card). |
| OMGGGG!!! HEARTATTACK! :D Can't wait for the next episode, epic! |
| I'm glad I read the manga a while ago, or these cliffhangers would be killing me. |
| The Long nose king is back! |
| It's just too exciting. I really thought that Kanji will lost. And the clifthanger. I can't wait for the next episode. |
    |
| OMG!! I was holding my breath there, then it ended suddenly. ~_~ Epic ep is epic... |
| I hate hating a week for an episode. Luckily this time I watched an episode yesterday too but now I'm up to date with this so I have to wait now :( I LOVE THIS SO MUCH! |
| Great show. So glad there's a show that can really draw me in, in these times of boring ass moe copy ad paste. |
 |
| One of my favorite episodes from either season. I personally like cliffhangers though, It means the anime is actually worth watching |
| Dear God, this episode can be summed up as - Three dice rolls of epic. |
| I wish I could take 20 minutes to roll three dice three times. |
| The way of cheating is so cheap, can't be done easily without anyone noticing and they have been stretching out the episodes for mere replacement dices? I still cannot believe that the trick of the dice game is based on this. Awfully disappointing resolve to a good build up. 1.5/5. |
   |
| One of the most intense episodes i've seen in any anime ever. The last time I was this exited was probably the "Just as planned" episode from Death Note. |

I bet you expected some kind of bleach level trick involving magic too, faggot. Just because you are one brainless bastard, dont expect everyone to be as brainless as you. The trick he pulled is at most Bleach magic level as well, but that's pretty high considering what your brain is capable of which in fact might not exist at all. Everyone has their opinions, learn to respect, little faggot. |

| 5/5 Can't wait for the next episode. |

Everyone has their opinions, learn to respect, little faggot. No, seriously, tell me, what trick did u expect there? IMO, it was a good one. Ootsuki explained himself, why this trick worked well up until now. Lighting is poor, so u aren't able to see the dices well, even if there is no snake eye, it would still be hard to notice it because of the motion. And still, everyone mainly pays attention to the result in those live or die situations anyway. Not to mention the placement of his buddies around him and the change of rules. It was perfect.. until Kaiji figures it out. xD Damn it, Kaiji is seriously better to marathon than watching it weekly with these massive cliffhangers. Although, I gotta say that without them, it wouldn't be the same show. Next episode should be awesome. |
| The trick is genius in its simplicity. The biggest part you simply don't seem to get is that they DO NOT GUARANTEE A WIN. Yea you only trow good hands, but with the exception of 4-5-6 they can still be beaten. This part is the genius of it all It doesn't raise suspicion. And because he also limits the dealer turn to 2 rounds, he can't simply keep winning big. Combine this with the tension in the room, the bad lightning and the fact that he has a safety net so make sure his dice aren't discovered, and you have a incredible way to cheat. |

| Users Fuurinkazan said: I bet you expected some kind of bleach level trick involving magic too, faggot. and kikoushi said: Everyone has their opinions, learn to respect, little faggot. have hereby been warned and will be temporarily banned if caught with their pants down a second time. I don't care who started or what the reason behind this is, both of you should know better. Period. -Chavez |
| They sure as hell know how to build up the tension and excitement. |
| I should have not watched this until they've fully released all the episodes. Cliffhangers kill -_-' |

I still cannot believe that the trick of the dice game is based on this. Awfully disappointing resolve to a good build up. 1.5/5. The 4-5-6 dice provides the foundation for the psychological battle between Kaiji and Ohtsuki to take place and that's what was exciting in this episode. It always has been about the psychology of gambling and not just the gambling itself in Kaiji. This is why this show is brilliant, it manages to build up suspense around games that are so simple. |
| Ridiculously epic. I was lolling to the subs because all the "They're trying to catch me rolling dirty"s and Ootsuki goes Pokémon aka. "I choose you, 4-5-6 dice!"s. The dice trick was simpler than I thought, I was expecting loaded dices. Yet, they streched the episode pretty much, just for the sake of a cliffhanger. :< |
| When I watch Bleach, any character could pull off a miracle out of blue followed by a flashback explanation that nobody really care about. But when I watch Kaiji, I know what he is doing, I excite about what he is about to do. |
 "A Legend is but a tale of a beautiful lie." |
| whoever voted 1 needs to GTFO lol but it was yet another 5/5 episode for me.. the foreman and his cronies are finally going down! |
 |
| That was intense! Drawn out a little too much but still soooooo intense. |
kikoushi said: The way of cheating is so cheap, can't be done easily without anyone noticing That's true. I noticed it in manga before it was explained. . That trick is really easy to notice especially since(as was stated in anime and manga) players watch on dice all the time: it's true that when die falls, there're only three sides are visible. However, there are only 1 way how usual die could fall such way that 4-5-6 are visible. On modified die there are two ways: 4-5-6 or 5-4-6. Here's a picture with normal 4 dice and modfied. Normal dice can never fall such way that on one die 5 will be on left side, 6 on top and 4 on right, and on second die 4 and 5 will be swapped. Just impossible. However, modified dice can fall both ways: 4-5-6 and 5-4-6. That will give the trick away instantly. |
| amazing production so far, really brilliant |
 |
| Am I the only one who noticed that the Foreman uses his left hand for throwing normal dice, and his right for throwing the modified, 4-5-6 dice? |
 |
| so, what's the point? normal dice in left pocket, modified in right.. you're not the only one, obviously |
| |
| Ootsuki : "They're trying to catch me rolling dirty " LOOOL |
| NOOO, not the goddamn cliffhanger again,...NOOOOOOOO ;_; Well, it's the end for ohtsuki cs. They got caught rolling dirty (a.k.a cheating) LOL. CAN'T WAIT to see the next ep. |
 |
| the 2 out of 5 who disliked this episodes , are caught rolling dirty |

The opposite number of eyes of 6 is always 1. The opposite of 5 is always 2. It is very possible to have 6 at Top, 4 At Front, 5 at either right or left and not raise suspicion at all. |
