Yeah I was convinced it would be another chapter or two. I'm sure some other disaster is coming but I'm so happy for Chang :3:

absolutely insane that during the entirety of the restricted rps arc of kaiji there was a guy with a bunch of cats inside one of the tables

There was a low key reference to loving Death Crimson :allears:

Also echoing that Chang's Bizarre Adventure is insanely anxiety inducing

HA! HA! NICE! WHAT A TOOL!
World's Strongest Man Kurosawa probably has more comedy parts than the others. Not really a comedy though overall unfortunately.

Poor Chang, hosed again. How much has he spent on cab fare at this point? If you go back to chapter 273 and look closely you can tell he got the name wrong but Jesus, even the translator seems not to have noticed

That's not how the Triangle Attack works...
That was some insanely dark comedy on this week's Tonegawa, holy poo poo. Almost feels like the body double twist might be used in the actual Kaiji story at some point.

these are the speeches from before kaiji showed up

what i really want to see is the entire espoir kaiji arc, summed up in a single episode, and told from the point of view of tonegawa as everything goes wrong, along with some half-assed excuse for why he has a different voice actor

(Tonegawa anime spoilers) Changing the opening/title for the episode was a nice touch.

Edit: The ending too! :vince:

It's actually not as much money as you would think. The Underground Currency is like worth 10% of a Yen. So it's like 500 bucks. So quite a bit yes, but Ohtuski has heavily gamed the system and is in no danger of running out of money. (Until Kaiji exposes him.)

Exactly 1 perica = 1 sen = 0.1 yen, so yeah. The one-day parole has hovered between $450 and $550 basically as long as it's had a price named. (Coincidentially, it's also 100 12oz light beers, so not much more than a satisfying couple weekends by the standards of down-and-outs who are also doing heavy physical labor.)

Also he was from the Cee-lo arc, not the Bog arc.


Otsuki is interesting namely in that he is a debtor like Kaiji, but managed to turn his debt into an opportunity. Because of how he has risen in rank and gamed the system he is in, he makes more money then the average person. He could have easily cleared his debts by now, but has turned his debt into a well paying job.

Right before Kaiji beat him, he had been planning on going on a Hawaiian vacation for a few days.
