I really thought that was the last money he got and the bag carried by Endou's mate contains something aside from money.

As the Numa OST song played, it was getting exciting again even if they're prolonging the show.

The chick at the beginning was pretty. :)

Good they didn't try to recreate that horror of a girl from the ending into the movie, I would feel horrible for the female playing her...

The girl is supposed to be Ishida's daughter (from season 1), whereas Mikoko (ending credits girl) is Sakazaki's daughter.

So anyone find it wierd Sakazaki couldnt show up. Im thinking endoh knocked him out when sakazaki found out about the contract. Also kaiji blindly signing that contract. Im guessing kaiji will once again get screwed over on the more simple things.

it does seem suspicious that sakazaki is missing. and blindly signing a contract is almost always a bad thing. cant wait to see what happens. Kaiji is one of the few anime that can make 23 min eps seem like 10 mins because they are so fucking good every time.

Kaiji is also one of the few anime that can make 1 week seem like 2 months

Hm, I watched the first Kaiji live action movie last week and went "LOLOLOL KAIJI IS BEING ALL SWEET TO ENDOU" when he gave her (yes, Endou is female in the live action) the line about buying her a beer every payday. I completely forgot it also happens in the manga.

This episode was really tense and I think this is dragging for a bit too long. Kaiji was never a fast-paced series, but too much of one arc and even the fans could get drowsy.

Donna! Shikashi!

The episode was good.

Obviously you haven't heard Ugly Betty.

But yeah, I generally rather not see ugly people in things I watch too.

Ep was good, but my problem with it is that Kaiji couldn't be sure if the tilt was how he thought it would or not. I mean Ichijou has like 8000 possible combinations with the remote. How can Kaiji guess what he'll do? Ofc Ichijou can't also be sure what will prevent him from winning. So it's just up to "chance"? I thought there was no chance in this anime? Oh well... Tough there is still a possibility that Kaiji can come up with a solution for not dropping to 3rd stage. That can also override all possible tilt options. I wonder if they also knew/got rid of the secret thing casino got... or did something to it? Let's see.

Edit: Ooops, second part of my comment was supposed to be for 20th episode.

I never quite understood that ending segment with the girl that's quoting random lines from the current Kaiji episode. What's the point? And why did she pose like that at end? WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN WHAAAH!!

As for the episode itself, seeing how carelessly he signed that contract I guess I finally got my answer as to how Kaiji would be cheated from finally making it to the big bucks. I'm sure he'll have enough money to get himself and his pals out of prison, and help Sakazaki out for a bit... but that's probably it. He's getting the short end of the stick again, which is kind of obvious, knowing that the manga goes far beyond this Bog arc.

Kaiji just can't stop here. And he can't die here, in that casino.

Endou, mah nigga, that was beautiful. So much manly tears. So much difficult decisions.

Kaiji didn't read the contract but I'm pretty sure that Endo wouldn't resort to a desperate failsafe that will only worsen his situation. He basically prevented him from living a lifeless life and even promised him 3 free expensive beers a month for life if woese comes to worse. It's the last stand and I'm very excited!

Kaiji girl showing off that flexibilty oh my~ xD

Im assuming the anime isnt the full complete story since Hyodo is still completely safe right now so if Kaiji does clear his debt he'll probably not stop there and go after Hyodo which is probably what the manga will continue.

Guys I'm not gonna lie I'm so happy this was the real episode 20! Haha, you see, I dreamt that episode 21 was Kaiji losing his money and then Hyodo shows up and says, sorry kid, out of luck, and then he said if in 15 years he was still alive he would play some music with Kaiji and then Kaiji tries to escape and puts a cop uniform while he runs away from Teiai officials and I was like wtf I hate this shit but this was so so much better. Ahhh, and yeah, signing a contract blinding was a mistake, he will win but he will end up losing his 200 million, but hey, I bet that's what the final episodes will be about, right?
