SUBS? HOLY SHIT.

Seriously, waiting for Kaiji's subs is just as suspenseful as the show.

Lemonlyme, I personally loved Kaiji S2 as much as I did for S1.


Also, Kaiji can't lose this now.
Will someone save him ?
Will one of the remaining ball make it through even if Kaiji has no ball ?

Can't wait for next week >_<

No! He had about 300 left when the third tray clogged. Earlier it was said that the way Kaiji messed with the pins makes it so 1 in 20 make it through the forest. So he gets another 15 balls in the trays. Remember that the top two trays are also tilted away from the winning hole, so when the balls rolling around on those trays settle down they can't get into the right hole until a new ball enters the tray. So not even another 15 balls will be added to the 3rd tray.

Kaiji didn't have enough money left to completely fill the last tray.

Stupid and obvious trick and terrible episode, it is and obvious trap, You put a wall inside and the player can hear it too. The public in all the game is discussing the game but now they arent saying anything about this obvious trap. The other tricks were ridiculous but, at least it wasnt an obvious trick. It is the worst arch ever, I love this show but this arch sucks.

This episode really had nothing going on. The progress of this show is getting ridiculously slow.

I expected Kaiji to come up with a way around the airvents while he was smoking. I thought he'd use the smoke to show that the air was moving or something.

Season 1 of Kaiji was definitely better than season 2. They really needed to put in 1 more type of game to keep the show fresh. It's just getting repetitive now.

You have bad memories, do you?
Remember when Ichijou was discussing with his men about removing the air trick because it was too obvious? Obviously the creator knew that.

Put you in Ichijou's shoes, would you not use it when you're going to hell if you don't?

I was waiting that, i remembered perfectly and the public is not saying anything anyway. Its absurd and i didnt read the manga but i know what its going to come in the next episode, because it is obvious and it is suggested before in a episode before (I took a little bit). It is not suprising anymore. Im sorry if my english is not really good.

First off ichijou and company had already said there trick was very obvious thats one of the reasons they dont use it. The crowd knows somethings up its obviously implied. They mentioned it. It was only untill half the episode that kaiji noticed the sound himself. I doubt they could hear it as well.

Also sakazaki is doing 1 of 2 things
either hes knocked out because of the contract signed
or
Hes getting more money. maby just enough for one more go ahead.

You cant justify that only because they said it before. If they don´t care about the public or the reputation you can stop the game anytime. They are ruining the simple logic of that underground world on this arch.


About the next episode is obvious and its not surprising anymore. Its the only time that i watched a kaiji episode and i know what is going to happen exactly in the next episode.

They do care about the public to an extant hence why the bog looks simplistic enough but has many details about it that can kill somone in the game. Ichijou is just about forced to fight kaiji as directed by his boss not only that but hyoudou is watching too. You think that ichijou would stop hyoudous fun? that means death. So hes going to continue the fun and but use any move he can to beat him at this point even if it destroys his and there reputation.

I dont understand why you think that other people forget about the most obvious details.

All Wakka said was rephrasing a hint from a couple episodes back. And if you still really think that was a spoiler then I will advice you to never come to a forum of a show that you are still watching. This is a place to talk about what you have seen but NOT just a place to just come in and say "I love this show!" and get out. Therefore it is bound to have some people who will make a correct guest of what is going to happen.

Well I just know he's gonna win this but the odds are sooo against him.

Even though 3/5 of the series is 'wasted' on this arc, it's really good. Though, preferred the first season.

Holy shit that was a nice come back. He nailed it! Nice. I have to admit though that this arc (Bog Game) sure took a long time but otherwise I guess it wanted to highlight the more intensity and emotional aspects of it. As such, manly tears were shed ;.;

Go Kaiji!

It is the worst arch ever, I love this show but this arch sucks.


This pretty much sums up everything I came here to say. The final "cheat" is beyond absurd. It quite literally takes the show from being a 8/9 season, to a 6/7 in one swoop.

Once the balls are infinitely reflected, the entire crowd should be losing their god damn minds at that point calling for the casino's head. In an earlier episode the balls don't go down into the for like plates for like a 1000 in a row, and they get suspicious about the house cheating. But when the balls are IN THE DAMN PLATE WITH EVERY HOLE BLOCKED, and it STILL won't go in, it's no big deal? No way. No. Freaking. Way.

This entire series is essentially "who can cheat the best". That was fine when the cheating was super sneaky like *EVERY* other game in the series, including the bridge arch with the hidden escape route. It reminded me of Death Note in the sense that you never knew what crazy scheme someone was pulling off, but in a game setting.

The season started off really strong and then went into this absolute insanity. When he initially began playing the Bog I thought to myself, "Ok, they are actually pulling this off nicely." Then the vomit inducing cheats started happening by the casino and I have been loathing the series ever since.

All of Kaiji's cheats are genius, hard to do, well thought out and quite literally impossible to prove while playing. The house on the other hand? Beyond obvious. The tilted floor/game, the lip in the third tray hole were excusable, but the wind...no...just no.

There is absolutely no way they can redeem themselves in the following 2 episodes. None. If they willingly turn off the wind and he wins it's just downright stupid. If they don't turn off the wind and he loses because of it, I'll probably give this season a 3 or 4. The only "suitable" option I see will have to do with them proposing him some kind of second chance (like they did when they offered E Card), which won't change the fact they insulted the viewer with the wind crap.

So pissed. Plus Kaiji crying like a baby asking for a draw was just too pathetic, since he didn't even try to tackle the guy and pry the wind button away from him, or anything besides give up.

One of the worst anime episodes I've ever seen in my life.

Kaiji is being an idiot all he has to do is wait. He should shoot one pachinko ball at a time not launch then all at once. And Kaiji started at 9 oclock I doubt its been 7 hours.

I'm really starting to wonder how Kaiji will get out of this one. Either that miracle will occur before he is taken away or someone will give him more money to gamble with. I'm really wondering where Sakazaki has been all this time and if he will play a crucial role in these last few episodes.

So, is this the end? Because with such a debt, there is no way he can pay it back. Game over?

Ichijou have some beautiful troll face. And some delicious tears. Too bad he's not the one destroyed in the end.
