THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Important: Episode 14 was a recap of this season, episode 15 contains actual story development. The subber named this as episode 15, so in order to not cause confusion we'll basically jump over episode 14 here.



The part with his needle and the fingernail made me squirm so much. OUCH!

And so begins Kaiji's last stand against the Man-Eating Bog, this time for all the marbles.

It's going to be really interesting to see what kind of plan he has to topple it.

interesting, I wonder what he really did in the office. He couldn't have suffer so much for nothing. And the part of the needle looked painfull. I think they should have shown more of it a little. Otherwise another very good episode.

Man who thinks of these torture machines. soo painful
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).

I think Ichijou's words are gonna come back to bite him about not being able to defeat the machine without altering it. Pops smashing it was a key part of Kaiji's plan, I just can't see how. They already test-played it, how the hell does Kaiji plan on winning. Hell, he'll probably win on the last ball.

Great episode and the music was awesome.
The needle thing was even more painful than when I read the manga.

I wonder how many episodes are left.

I have a feeling that the replacement parts may be linked in some way to the extra 5 men Kaiji wanted from Endoh. Maybe they modified something small inside the machine when installing the new parts or something? Just a guess. Can't see how else it would work otherwise.

Kaiji's masterplan starts, whatever it is!

Nail torture part was unexpected, Kaiji ;____;. I kind of wanted it to be more detailed and grotesque though, not because I get a kick out of stuff like that, but if you're going with torture go all the way, so I can get completely emotionally invested. Still, final pachinko showdown finally starts! THE FUCKING PLAYING FIELD HAS BEEN SET.

Now for another week of stale waiting.

This is why Kaiji is fucking epic. The man can cut his ear off, lose his fingers and get his finger nails cut through - then pop up the next couple of days completely fine & ready to mind-rape people in their gambling cheating tricks. This was a bitchin' episode, I'm ready to see Ichijou cry next week.

You call that fanservice? It would've been better if the girl who does the proverbs did the fanservice. :P

Awesome Episode! Ichijou could mind-read Sakazaki but not Kaiji, lol. Kaiji's become psychological genuis!^_^

Notice the quotation marks in my post.

And you got it the wrong way around, Mikoto should be the one doing the proverbs. That would be THE best.

That nail part was just bad really bad, if you ever got a splinter under your nail you know how much that sucks. But having that happen is like 100000000000000000000000000000X more worst, then getting beaten up >.<.

I just had to close my eyes when that needle pricked Kaiji's fingers. It's now official that Ichijou is the most hated character in this series.

Can't wait to see Ichijou's face when Kaiji beat the Bog.

You people are weak. Real men don't close their eyes during torture scenes.

I wonder WTH Kaiji was doing when the old man was in the machine. I mean, did he really just want the money? Answer: Probably not, this is all part of his master plan.

Nope, Ichijou is just doing his job. Any other casino boss would do the same. Hyoudou is far worse. He feeds on people's hopes and cheats over them, he makes them kill each other, he's disgusted by weak people, he doesn't help anyone, EVER.

HOLY SHIT THAT TORTURE SCENE MADE ME CRINGE SO MUCH. Seriously, I felt like I could feel the pain. It was to me worse than the ear stuff or the finger guillotine... It may also be because I have a bit of needle phobia though. But damn, that was brutal as fuck.

Holy fucking shit, I'm usually not squeamish, but Kaiji always has the worst torture scenes. I don't know what's worse, whether this or the first season's ear horror. I had to close my eyes for a second here. Poor Kaiji. I sure hope he wins.

I hope that Ichijou gets a taste of Kaiji's daring plan. I jokingly expected that Kaiji will come back dressed as a monk along with Pops coz they've gone mad xD

New Mikoto pose and it's just as scary as the last one lol
