Synopsis

A direct sequel to Tobaku Datenroku Kaiji, picking up immediately after Part 3.

After his tremendous victory in 2-Player Mahjong against the villainous President, Muraoka Takashi, Kaiji is being driven home by Kazuya, the son of Chairman Hyoudou. However, in the car, Kazuya asks Kaiji if he would be interested in one more gamble that night, and Kaiji accepts. What surprises lie in store for our dear Kaiji, and what will the gamble be?!

Throughout Kaiji, Fukumoto submerges the audience in the subjective experiences of individuals going through extreme suffering. He does this not for the sake of a detached notion of "psychology", but rather to induce an edifying empathic response.

Kaiji part 4 was very disappointing for me. It started out strong with Kaiji again pursuing his grudge against Teiai by setting out to beat the founder's son in a gamble. Kaiji being introduced to his grave stone by said son really cemented him as someone intimidating and to be feared throughout the arc.

Throughout the beginning we also continue to learn more about Kazuya and what makes him tick and his whole motivation to engage in his sadistic gambles.

However, the characterization comes to a stand-still when we are introduced to the actual gamble of this part. It does not even involve Kaiji but three ...
