This is an anime only discussion thread, we don't want to know/care about what happen later in the manga.

Great episode.

Love the plan coming together, but I expected to have more of a reaction from Kaiji when he realized Chariman Hyodou was talking to Ichijou. He had that dramatic gasp, but no inner dialogue. Other than that, this episode was amazing.

Finally, the first part of the plan revealed. As always smart & cunning.

So Ichijou has a "block" cheat set with the plates too? I thought it was by chance that no one could pass it, lol.

Yeah, I know - having to cut off your ear & get your finger nails fucked just for a gamble tells me that... I was just more into the whole getting passed the first stage & completely forgot about the plates.

I wanna have a time machine, just to go to the future, watch the anime, and go back again. D:
The atmosphere is getting tense, the chairman did involve himself even further!
The only thing I hope is, that either there will be another season where Kaiji does beat the chairman..or that he will be beaten in the end of this season. (Even though it would be sad, cause there are not that many episodes left.)

As expected from Hyoudou. He can always see through Kaiji's plan.
No doubt he won over that "awesome" box like nothing.

Wooo. Fukumoto drawing at the end.

It has been made clear several times that the creators of Kaiji do not approve of relying on chance. Some instances include when Kaiji lost the lottery game, Ootsuki lost because he could not role 1-1-1, and when Sakazaki almost lost on the horse racing.

It's so bad that Ichijou looks like crap compared to Tonegawa who was an awesome antagonist, I expect more from you Ichijou 8) The last episode was good though.

Ichijous an awesome bastard who simply underestimated Kaiji. Sure he's a step down from Tonegawa, who was basically in line to become the next Hyoudou, but he created all the mechanics that make the bog so impossible to beat, outsmarted Sakazaki and anyone else trying the magnet trip and went so far to have settings for the needles, flippers and even the plates despite never thinking that anyone could make it that far and have a chance of winning.

Ichijou is a genius with a sense of realism to him, that's why I love him. He's just as scared as Kaiji as whats about to happen, and you can tell how power hungry and insane he really is during 'that' nail scene. Having him there just as worried makes the game even more intense, and the bog would hardly work if it had some guy who kept cool to the end like Tonegawa watching over as the villain.

In short, I fucking love Ichijou.

Woah, Kaiji have some crazy idea. Where do he find all this? Is he a genius? Or am I a retard?

Ichijou madness is pretty fun to watch. The guy have pretty crazy faces for someone who looked so ''noble''.

There is still the thing with the 4 people they hired. And the additional guy that entered with them in the casino. I want more mind blown shit!

I was starting to have doubts about this arc, but man Kaiji really laid it on thick. Fucking loved when he shut down Ichijou. "It's not working!" "Oh..I don't really give a shit."

Holy fuck, Kaiji really has gone a long way from getting deceived so easily by Funai back on Espoir to being able to think of such a brilliant plan. I'm pretty sure he fucks up again somehow because his luck is terrible, but he really is awesome.

I bet that if any of the gamblers back as Espoir is watching Kaiji, the first thing that will come to mind is that he's leagues above them after all this time.

He managed to get a sweet (coz it's candy lol) opening out of those flippers and all that's left are the devil trays. Ichijou's in for it when he loses big lol

I've loved every Kaiji gamble so far, but honestly this one is so fucking stupid. The way Kaiji rigged the machine legitimitely makes no sense. How the fuck was he able to, for 3 days straight; stay in the room of the casino directly above the staff room with nobody noticing? Like, Ichijou makes a point to state how they have camera's everywhere; yet conveniently the one room Kaiji can use for his plan doesn't? Complete PIS.

Secondly, even if he did rig parts of the machine, how the fuck did he replace them with no one seeing? Ichijou knows literally all of the maintenence workers on the bog, and Kaiji never had any oppurtunity to swap the pieces with no one noticing.

It sucks, cause every single solution he came up with before this was so brilliantly done, but this is just a complete asspull. There's absolutely no way Kaiji could have done this. Also doesn't help that this is the longest arc so far.

Knew it was the replacement parts. That was pretty risky of them to treat breaking the machine as a diversion
