I like how this little fall of Kaiji in the 2nd episode made him turn 360° towards badass'ness lol

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! >.<''


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.


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.

Nothing can happen until you swing the bat.

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!

Cool, he won, but it took too much time to reveal the card.

'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

Hell yeah,this is awesome. It's also so much fun to guess what's going to happen next and what kind of game Kaiji is coming up with.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

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.

I just realized the narrator has the same voice as hasegawa taizou from gintama and now i can't unhear it. It's actually fitting, since kaiji is sort of a young madao xD

I have the same question as other user, so I’ll just copy his nine-years-ago-comment, lol.

Krimi said:
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.

No idea how he came up with that theory. lolz

Behold of my awesomeness~

The story and the intense moments make me really enjoy this anime, but I do mind that they do soooo much talking. The coworker just spams "kaiji san", andou just being a coward and say no this no that. They just keep repeating themselves, do they not realize if it weren't for Kaiji they'd been long gone? They should trust him more. They talk as if the stars they were holding onto were theirs, they already lose theirs. Those stars were won by Kaiji and he was nice enough to give them when he could've just took them and leave. They don't deserve it, both the stars and Kaiji's kindness.

I was expecting him to win, but his method of thinking was truly crazy. I think they'll win the other 3

Episode 5 stands out for Kaiji's brilliant speech. I think the protagonist will abandon the conquered at the end of the game. Goodbye Frankie's voice, I hope we'll meet again. Kaiji's words about life are very apt, and full of deep wisdom and truth. Amen.
