I don't know how Kaiji suspected that Kitami played paper. I don't understand Kaiji's explanation at:

16:41 - 17:54

Due to my lack of English, I cannot understand that part. About stop buying 'them' (what is them? papers probably), odd-even cards.

Can someone help me please?

Thanks.

Those two sidekicks are too damn irritating. I wish they died or something but probably most of the show will rely on their continued presence together with Kaiji...ALL THEY CAN SAY IS: Kaiji-san! >.<''

I know, right?
Whenever Kaiji is being a badass and shutting the other guy down, all that Furuhata guy says is "KAIJI-SAN!" It's so annoying! Those two characters are really bogging down the show. Even the 'villains' so to speak, are more interesting and bearable than them.

Annoying... the two people don't want to risk losing their one star, but they are fine with throwing out their chances and coming back to beg for forgiveness.

If at least there was a reason why Kaiji has to support them, but no. Kaiji being the usual MC, he must remain good-hearted I guess. But that doesn't even come close to a good enough reason for me.

Ah! That was a good episode. He played well his game. Unfortunatly, I feel like this will be an ephemere victory. I just can't see him on a winning streak, at least, not right now.

I honestly thought that the other guy would be more stupid, but he just never really saw it coming. Kaiji should try to scam them their cards now that they are fighting each other. They seem very vulnerable.

5 episodes in and people already want dumb and dumber to die lol. Can't say I blame them but jeez.

As suspenseful as they try to make it I still can't get over the fact that they're just playing rock paper scissor lol. Sure there's the whole thing with the stars and buying cards but after 5 episodes it's kinda gotten stale.

I can't get over the fact they made 4 episodes about playing fucking rock-paper-scissors and yet it's so interesting and good. Kaiji really is good at hazard; kind of makes me wonder how it is possible he hasn't made any significant money from it before. And yeah, just like everyone else, I want his sidekicks to go away. The last straw was how they refused to wager their stars at first, conveniently forgetting Kaiji has given them stars before (stars they have managed to lose in a rather idiotic manner.) I don't blame them for being dumb, but they're so horribly selfish.

I'm really struggling to like this anime. I really can't see how people are enjoying it so far. One whole episode to flip a card over? And such a long winded explanation on what card he used.

Not only that, but I swear everyone is stupid as fuck. I mean, why would you go ahead with the duel when Kaji or whatever his name is, is begging so hard to get you to play. Surely you must see something is up...

They do provide him with things. He needed one guy for his cards, they also let him bet their stars (although it took a lot of convincing). He wouldn't have made it this far without a group, although obviously his partners are far less than ideal (still halfway expecting them to run off panic and lose their stars again - how many times can they pull that?)

I know they are looking 'long term', but the paper team didn't even need to appease Kaiji's gang. All Kaiji did was insult the paper head, spin some mumbo about making bold long term decisions being the key to surviving life and the fool took the bait.

They went from sure victory as they whittled away the competition's scissors by having two teams hoarding paper and rock; then naturally Kaiji's team will get rekt.

A whole episode to get Kitami to flip his goddamn card lmao At least it was a satisfying win this time without anyone ending up being a deadweight this time~ They're all on the edge and I'm relieved that they finally realized how crucial it is to stick to the plan. They were really asshats when they refused to get dragged into this at first coz who the hell gave you the stars you threw away in the first place '^'

How Kaiji masterfully taunted and tricked him to join the deathmatch using 6 million yen then proceeded to read him like a book to add salt to his wounds was entertaining. Just 3 more!

'WAKE UP!'. I love when a character learns from his mistakes and acknowledges the situation they are in. Again Kaiji found a struggle to surpass and damn this time it was hard. Nearly impossible to get out of, the stupidity of a character was the miracle Kaiji needed. Lesson: do never say shit until your plan is over. Good to see the protagonist taking advantage of that in a way that makes sense. 5/5

This episode feels very slow but I liked it.

I was thinking that Kitama's card was a scissors but I was wrong. Kaiji needs to get rid of those two when they not be useful anymore.

There's only 40 minutes left.
