Especially against someone with tons of Money and who can easily pay half of Kimimaro's(sp?) account easily. And the fact that he was already owning him right from the beginning and was stopped because of plot armor when Msyu was injured severely.

With a bit of help, I found out that the colors that can be found in Kimimaro's body is actually relevant. The ED and the series follow the CMYK color model, and Nakamura himself admits of that from the QR code of episode 5. And it's really apt in the series.
More pictures and the alternative color analysis in the show can be found here, with examples.

The teacher and the pretty boy lost so much but what can they really do? They played the game and got burned. It's like blaming the other guys at the poker table for the dealer giving you bad cards. Besides, he's angsting enough as it is....I'm not sure I really want to see episodes of him dwelling on the obvious issue of blame (that someone lost and he feels guilty about it).

Maybe I am stating the obvious here, but ALL entrepenueurs started little and on their way up they beat the big players at their own games. i.e. Microsoft/Apple/Google/Facebook started with little to no money and look at them now. So no matter how big you are, you can be beaten by the little upstart, unless you are deemed by the goverment as "too big to fail" and are rescued even if you went bankrupt.

The fact that Kimimaro won against a guy with a 90-some % win rate makes me sick. I can see if he had thought up a strategy or something, but his goddamn asset had her arms torn off in the first 30 seconds of the fight, then they suddenly come back against all odds to defeat a giant bird angel of death that was kicking their asses? really? I don't think not showing the fight has anything to do with finances, they were just really lazy on the plot and couldn't think of a way Kimimaro could win without it looking ridiculous, so they just decided to sweep it under the rug. Most shounen aren't even that ballsy. Pretty disgusting really.
The fights are starting to feel really "cheap" and uninteresting, and it's not like the protagonist has much in the real world other than his aunt, so I'm hard pressed to care whether he wins or loses, and they aren't ever really interesting, for such an important part of the show they feel really tacked on. I hope they go back to a Ikuta storyline for at least an episode or two, I found it more interesting than the non stop battles. At least make her an Entre or something.

Darn, I was sure Kimimaro and Msyu would pull one of those mysterious macroflation things to turn the tide. Instead, we get a one line explanation about what happened.

Kimimaro's monologue on the official site, translated:
Yoga Kimimaro The words that man said. That the true thrill of deals is not in winning or losing. It`s creating, without losing too much or winning too much, the maximum amount of profit while still taking into consideration the effects on the world around you. I believed those words. To accept your destiny of living in this district, and to avoid bringing misfortune to those around you. That that was the right thing. There`s no mistake about it, he said. I was completely convinced. But Sennoza, he rejected the things that man says and does. He said that if all that’s left is a hopeless future, there’s no meaning for the present. What does that mean? How is it different from what that man says? If the objective is to diminish the effects on the real world, aren’t they doing the same thing? But that man says there’s a difference. He says that’s the reasoning of the big fish. I couldn’t understand it. And so I had to fight. That was my only option. However I do not feel as if I won. I was supposed to be fighting for the people around me, but maybe that was wrong. If Mashu is the representation of my future… If Mashu is the future that was lost… It’s not about sacrificing the present to protect the future, it’s about returning to the future what was supposed to be there from the start. I don’t understand. What is right, and what is wrong. What am I meant to do? This really isn't an action series. Make of that what you may.
