The sheer despair! I can almost taste it!
You'll regret it, Ichijooouuu! Ichijou Ichijou Ichijou Ichijou Ichijou Ichijou Ichijou Ichijou Ichijou Ichijou!!! They made it even more epic that in the manga.

And what could he have done? He planned for almost every eventuality and you're saying he just sits there ?! Have you been even watching Kaiji or what? He made the best he could under circumstances he was in. There was no other way for him to get enough money in such a short amount of time... I assume you would prefer for him to win with that last bounce? IMO this episode was perfect and has perfectly depicted despair. The point is, Kaiji has bad luck and that's why it makes this the best gamble anime ever. |

He's not Akagi or Zero, Kaiji is the one that have most emotion among them.. And don't forget the main theme of Kaiji is still about the "loser".

It doesn't matter what he could have done or not. The conclusion of last season was that at the crucial moment Kaiji was begging for a mircale instead of thinking things through and that because of that he lost. If he wins now by begging for a miracle then that is simply bad storytelling. Of course, I don't know how this concludes yet, but if it doesn't include some sort of action on Kaijis part it's going to be pathetic.

Ichijou must be the happiest guy since his last resort finally showed up. Never would have though it would be air nozzles surrounding the whole. That is just to evil. Like how Kaiji thought that the jump might work. Honestly he was really pitiful when he gave up and asked Ichijou for a draw with tears in his eyes. Thought he said he was prepare to lose it all. Really like how they colored him different at the end.
So i know his balls are out, but since the balls are still spinning in the bog doesn't that mean he's still playing and they should wait to take him? Also Murakami said that he didn't know how much batter y was left, so that could mean that the air curtain could collapse while the balls are still in the third tray. Also what ever happened to the third guy that was with Kaiji and Endo. Shouldn't he be taken as well if they lose?

As for the game, yes. They should let him keep playing. Will they? My spoiler-spewing lips are sealed~ And Sakazaki's problem was his own, if I remember correctly. He'll lose everything he had and whoever he got that money from will come knocking soon enough, should Kaiji lose.

What I'm thinking is, the third tray is essentially a closed system, with the only energy being introduced being a new ball every once in a while. However, as more and more balls go in, it will be like pumping air into a balloon just waiting for it to pop. In fact, that air barrier itself seems to be adding energy into the system, making balls bounce back with potentially even more force than they have in approaching it. At some point, the number of balls in the tray should be large enough to cause a chain reaction with the air barrier resulting in all of the balls bouncing around frantically. At some point, the balloon will pop, and a ball will go down the only open hole.
The only problem is, now that Kaiji's out of balls, where will these new balls come from? Is it possible that most of the balls in the first and second tray will just fall by themselves into the third? I don't really think so. But I do think Kaiji's win would have been pretty much inevitable if he could've just kept pumping more balls in for a bit longer (brute force seems to have been the theme of this challenge: guide all the balls to one place, and send enough of them, then for sure something will definitely happen). |

Still watching it, but I had to post this for obvious reasons. Sorry about the watermarks- I'm streaming this crap.
Spoiler for SWEETJEEBUSWHATISTHAT:
EDIT: Dayum, that was fantastic. Giving the manga adaptation of this part an animation made it so much more epic.
