| Finally the Rock-Paper-Scissor game is over! Just don't tell me that Kaiji is going to trust those 2 again after what they did especially the fat pig Ando. |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| This is the best episode yet! It came across my mind that he's smuggling something under those bandages but I couldn't tell what he can smuggle at the time. To think that beatdown led to his salvation. Such clever thievery to crawl out of the pits of despair is fit for a man called "the Ultimate Survivor". I wanted Ando to be beaten up more since he was the one who backstabbed Kaiji and even had the gall to act like he's not guilty by telling him that giving away the money he earned is unfair. Furuhata got some sense slapped into him coz he was an indecisive pussy the whole time lol. They should be grateful that they even barely managed ti survive through the night. Saving that geezer using the money they fought over instead of letting those who will burden their parents with debt made me really like him as a character~ Fight the power! |
 |
| I'm glad he saved that old man, I don't think that he will be betrayed by him. |
 |
| I nearly teared up when Kaiji used his money to free that man. Definitely the best episode so far. |
| i unexpectedly laughed when kaiji bit the guy's foot lmao. it was just funny how everything escalated so fast. HOLY SHIT! THE DUDE HAD HIS TREASURES HIDDEN IN THE INJURY PATCH AND SOMEHOW throughout kaiji's depression and livid anger, kaiji snatched that bitch! or were the rings on his/in his foot? i'm confused. i... really can't deny how... wow. it's been a long time since my mind has been blown, not blown to the smithereens yet but it's up there. and he saved the guy left behind! MY MAN KAIJI. seriously damn finger lickin good, this show, it is. oh god. i'm... honestly not satisfying, he should have taken all of andou and furuhata's stars. furuhata, although he does have somewhat of a conscience gave kaiji his debt. andou is a pigsty fat fuck who has betrayed him multiple times. both of them owe everything to kaiji, he helped them out so much even when he had a chance to get outta there. big f u. |
| Probably the best episode so far. This show, this protagonist, so brilliant. |
 |
| Damn,the despair felt so real and despite all the hurdles Kaiji still made it and even saved someone,what a guy. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Manly tears were shed. |

| What a great episode and just reminded me of how disgusting money is and how true despair feels like in the bottom of the abyss. Kaiji surely claimed that he is a man among men what a great character. Farabeuf said: Same here T-TManly tears were shed. |

Alrexu1789 said: Usually, you define your favourite serie as that which you can see thousands of times that you never get bored, what is more, you get more engaged. I'm not writting this post to tell this is going to be(because there are 15 episodes left to see) one of my favourite animes. I just say that this episode, which puts an end to the first arch, has given me all I needed to praise it as a perfect one. Three facts bring me to this point. First of all , the great resolution of the drama was pretty unexpected and very clever. What kaiji thinks to solve it, comes from thinkin about the humans aim of being benefited above all, what is simply genius. This reference serves as an antithesis with ither main point of the chapter; saving the guy. Doing this , kaiji shows how a man should be , damn, when no one would claim him nothing if he just went away with the money after the betrayal of the two pieces of shits, he just continues trusting humans. This two facts, so different apparently are what best define humans, their two faces. And it is what makes the money speech being so awesome.It is not only against the people who are upstairs looking how they try to save their lifes, but it is against something bigger; humankind crave of money and power. The sum of all these things make me take my hat off to this amazing chapter, and to assume Kaiji has become one of my most favourite characters ever. Lastly , to say that if it would have ended up here, this anime would have been a masterpiece, I hope they do not low the level i recently finished this anime and it left a mark on me. the first arc is awesome in how it explains the mechanics of the game and how kaiji tries to find loopholes. i dont want praise and make ur expectations too high since it might ruin ur experience least to say everyone needs to watch this series. i just finished this like a week ago and its fresh in my memory. anyway i'm working my way towards season 2 now. PS: avoid spoilers to this series at all costs |

| Oh God...wow, so many twists and turns in just one episode. This is the best one so far. I had no idea how Kaiji was going to make it out of that one...and when he used those 3 stars he bought to save that man left in the room, I almost teared up. Kaiji is such an interesting character. Yeah, he got out his revenge on the ones that betrayed him, but in the end he directed his anger at money itself...how it turns you into a monster, takes away your humanity. |

| This is being so manly. |
| Now, I fucking hate Furuhata too. I didn't think it was possible for Kaiji to get out of this mess but in the end he used logic. I'm glad that he saved Ishida too. Also, I liked that Kaiji kicked Andou. |
| All weebs creatures of the galaxy, hear this message. Those of you who listen will not be struck by western animation. You will no longer know hunger, nor pain. Your Anime have come to lead you now. Our strength shall serve as a luminous sun toward which all intelligence may blossom. And the impervious shelter beneath which you will prosper. However, for those who refuse our offer and cling to their western animation ways… For you, there will be great wrath. |
| Awesome! Kaiji-san is epic! Unfortunately this episode reminded me of Brazilian politicians.... |
| Why, you say... Don't you get it? If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change. |
| What an amazing episode! Kaiji taking the stars back and saving the guy was such a badass thing to do! |
| So much crying and despair. The frustration is understandable but I still cringe at overly expressed emotions. Kaiji's last resort to survive was brutal but I'm glad he's out and kicked that pieces of shit. I wonder, why he never brought up that he is in this hell because of Furahata in the first place. Saving that dude was unnecessary but it made a point. Too bad it fell on deaf ears. Pieces of shit won't stop being pathetic garbage losers and hosts only seek more entertainment while Kaiji is still in a huge debt. Oh well, I guess it'll become a valuable lesson to Kaiji and his character is now on a path to toughen up throughout the series. |
  |
| Perfection. Great way to end it this arc. |
| wow, kaiji, what a true man (despite not having a dick cause the anime production team can't give him one due to censorship (??)) |
| That was really fucking awesome. |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| Kaiji was awesome this episode! Wowee he's just too good considering the hopeless situation he was in |
 |
| The fact that Kaiji actually saved that man made my day. Darn, this series is intense. |
| OωO |
| Im fully expecting the second Kaiji goes up to the second floor the organisers will be like "Ok, on to the second round of games. Then you'll be allowed to go up to the third floor" Kaiji is definitely really interesting. He's a man of decent morals in a place where morals have went out the window. |
| Yuritopia FTW!!!!!!!!! BANZAI TO YURI !!!!!!!!!!!! |
| Ahhh yet another scam enters into kaji's life lol |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| I don't know if I'm cut out for this kind of anime. It's deeply disturbing, I think I'm gonna have trust issues by the time I finish it. |
 |
| Cruel.. and powerful. Damn I love this. |
 |
| Yeah, this pretty much concludes the movie adaptation. Let's see WHAT HAPPENS NEXT!!! |
| fucking awesome episode. haven't enjoyed an anime this much in a long time |
| Spectacular episode , really liked such conclusion to an arc and I couldn’t be happier that Kaiji got out of hell and slapped the shit out of those two failures plus saves someone else in process , showing his high morality and humanity. It’s a shame he’s in more debt now tho |
| Awesome episode, can't believe how awesome Kaiji on this episode big respect. |
 |
| This episode did an amazing job at depicting the devil and human sides of a person |
| ุฎ |
| ando's a prick fr, would've beat him up even more. kaiji's a real one for saving that guy tho, slowly becoming one of my fave mcs. |
 |
| how the hell did they not manage to sell the stars after ditching kaiji? with dozens of people desperately trying to buy stars they could've sold their extra stars within seconds. I'm not trying to nitpick but that's fckng unrealistic af. And fuck ando, ungrateful fatass. |
| While I do agree with Kaiji when he says the people on the top laugh and have fun with the misery of the others, these people betray one another because they put their greed first. |
