Kinda surprising to see the episode isn't subbed yet; luckily I could understand most of the raw by itself. Plus, it probably helps that I read the manga...

Psycho_Kenshin · 2011-05-25, 22:34

Glorious episode! Bout time, also funny how Kaiji didn't speak at all in the previous episode, and he lays a verbal smackdown in this one!

Favorite sub line so far: "They're trying to catch me rolling dirty!"

Ep 8, Kaiji channels Akagi and really puts the screws to the foreman.

Excorsism · 2011-05-25, 23:07

Oh, man. Episode 8 was insanely awesome. Even more so with the music! Go Kaiji, take down that foreman!

Hiroi Sekai · 2011-05-26, 01:38

Shit yeah, just as the manga predicted. XD
(Shut up, I know "obvious joke was obvious"

Who's the (real life) chick at the end of each episode that repeats what Kaiji says during the episode? What is her purpose?

I don't see the point of that segment either... it's just weird.

karumofin · 2011-05-26, 06:16

Finally something unexpected happens, no idea what could come next, so the rest should be interesting.

I feel like Kaiji is getting too cocky for his own good ...

I am not sure how he could lose the second round, but Kaiji winning it big ?
no way it's going to happen ... he has to be return to being miserable before the next stage ...

What? You do realize that 1 perrica is what, 1/10 of a yen? And 100 yen is about 1$? So 1 perrica is one millidollar, which would mean that 20 million perrica would be 20 thousand dollars. Divide it by all 45s and it's much but nothing compared to his debt. He's still on the bottom is still working as a slave (for now at least).

**Klashikari** · 2011-05-26, 11:22

This is exactly why the Teiai corp is using perrica: pinning down the debtors with "awesome digits", but in the end, it is just punny change.
If you consider their reactions, it would arguably not be the same if it was in yen (but if the absolute value was the same, it would definitely lead to this kind of reaction indeed).

Anyway, I was expecting them to finish it off already, but this episode and the last one are really taking a tad too much. At least, I savored plenty how ohtsuki was being owned big time.

But honestly, they will need to tweek a bit the next arc, considering how slow they are setting things up.

Archon_Wing · 2011-05-26, 18:28

Good episode. I loved how the foreman is just making insane excuses, and claims it doesn't count... only to get himself screwed over.

But please, get on with it already!

Spoiler for episode 8 question/spoiler:

I know that they repeated it here, but I'm interested in the first time.

Rahan · 2011-05-27, 09:19

bah ...
This bet's stakes are worth a fifth of his debt. After sharing with his fellow slaves, he'll be left with only a 30th of his debt (I was aware of that), but it's definitely not chump money.

I was thinking Kaiji should be put into despair to take part into those unofficial games (I forgot addict Kaiji from ep1), but here I see his situation improving significantly.
He has even a good sum to money to gamble now. Gifted as he is for this, he could take a day off, gamble a lot in an official gambling parlor and cover a major part of his debt in a single day.

Wasn't it was he was trying to do at first ? Get a day off and win it big ? He fulfilled all the conditions for this. But no, he is gonna lose most of it in a unofficial rigged game elsewhere. He wouldn't be Kaiji otherwise.

You know, not every season of Kaiji is the same. Just because he's getting screwed over again and again doesn't mean he can't have luck once and again.
He can be really good at what he does but he is of course a flawed individual instead of a "gambling god". And if he has to cheat to win, then so be it. Especially because his enemies are also cheating.

Be happy you seemingly didn't read the manga. They've already covered more then 40 chapters, so this part did take about a year if you had to wait for every chapter. Good that I could read everything in a row. Kaiji simply isn't an especially fast series.

Vall3y · 2011-05-27, 13:53

He can win, and is going to leave that shithole, and still be in a miserable position if he needs to escape Teiai. So kaiji winning this time doesnt mean he's out of troubles yet
Awesome episode.
How much trouble do you think Outsuki is going to make with the 2nd round? My friend thinks it wont go as smooth but I think its not so significant

The best part about that was seeing his reasoning and how confident he was in it, despite its blatant absurdity. I guess he expected the crowd to start chanting with him or something. Hilarious scene.

lulz. I'm quite aware of this author's tendencies, considering Akagi still somehow isn't dead yet from

Spoiler for Akagi:

So it doesn't surprise me the weakest points of both series are the parts where they are really reaching to have something happen.

Anyhow best scene has got to be the rope from the heavens. I just re-watched it to laugh.

Zeroryoko1974 Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2006	Ep 8, Kaiji channels Akagi and really puts the screws to the foreman. Spoiler: he gets the foreman to agree to take a roll of 4 and special dice allowed. All six of the 45's roll against his 4. So Kaiji breaks out his own dice, that only roll one's. So, they make like 2.5 mill, and when the foreman tries to quit, he uses the dealer has to roll twice line. So, he could end up paying out 18 mil __________________
