Yeah the current situation they're in is 100% on Endou.
When it becomes clear he's following the wrong taxi because Endou only saw the first two numbers and the rest are different, that, too, will be 100% on Endou.

You just KNOW if it was one of the lackeys that only saw the first two numbers, Endou would have loving exploded screaming at them for being such incompetent fuckups who can't do anything right. But when Endou does it, well that's just an honest mistake - in fact, they're lucky he saw that much!

That was my guess too, but it looks like the same license plate from chapter 430 to now. Assuming the cab is empty Kaiji and crew must have bailed in the minutes between losing Teiai and getting spotted by Chuusuke. Or maybe it's a fake license plate or misdrawn to represent Endou's false certainty, who knows

During the few minutes they lost Kaiji, somehow they physically swapped plates with another taxi

Yeah, very possible. Either way it's a plan that relies on shaking the tail and not getting re-spotted during the switch which feels pretty simple and risky for a Kaiji plan so I'm looking forward to seeing how the whole thing unfolds on their end

They're all crammed into the trunk and hoping that Teiaiaaiaiai goes away when the taxi driver picks up new passengers.

I really hope it's something like that. Like it's not a clever plan that Endou couldn't see through, but a plan so stupid that Endou couldn't think of it.

Like what do you expect, your group is trying to steal the money they won from you and then send Kaiji’s crew to work till they die, they have no reason to tell you poo poo Endou.

It's very indicative of both how desperate he is and how little he thinks of Kaiji.

I can believe Endou loves his job (or at least the thrill of chasing people down) to the point where it's never been about the money.

that or maybe you don't exactly leave the eye of the yakuza when you get a windfall like that

also "loves" has way too many positive connotations for what I mean, perhaps

Was it actually that much? Kaiji wiki says he took 60m yen total, which is about 600k usd (currently it's only like 450k but the yen is kinda poo poo right now) and like... Yeah that's a lot of money, but it's not exactly "gently caress you I'm never working again" money. Doubly so when you work for the yakuza and probably owe them something. I'd also wager that Endou probably isn't the best when it comes to money management.

Nope, it's more that the latest chapter finished something that had been going on for awhile. Honestly while it's not the end of the part it might be a good time to catch up? There's a lot of shorter events going on in the current part instead of being dedicated to like one or two games and it has been a very nice change of pace.

The current part could wrap up soon or maybe go on for a few more years. It's impossible to tell, and in a way that's pretty exciting.

Kaiji got 60 million after getting scammed then spent it all on saving the 45ers + that guy's kid. The other 200 million of Kaiji's share was taken by Endou (who already had another 250 million or so from his share).

Excited to get first hand reactions from Hyoudou to the entire thing, hopefully we also get Kazuya's thoughts too. I've been waiting to see what kind of conclusion Kazuya came to after he woke up.

Gunna lol if Kazuya tells Hyoudou that he lost the money in a gamble fair and square, and Hyoudou calls off the Kaiji chase and instead punishes him lmao
