Do you think this was realistic? Would most people really have betrayed Kaiji...

If Kaiji takes place in 1996, why the fuck do they have smart phones and twitter in Middle Management Blues? Isn't it supposed to take place before Kaiji?

How is this trope called when a story supposedly takes place in the time period it was written in but technology changes as real time goes on?

If you think about it, there's really no reason not to. Kaiji can't get back at you and you'll make a profit so why wouldn't you? It's your money, you earned it.

Why is Hyodo so cute?

Bullshit. Kaiji did all the fucking work. Also there's no guarantee that he will be crippled after the two years of slave labor, or forget their names like Andou said. Once he gets out he might kill you

>Kaiji can't get back at you
Heh heh heh heh
If Kaiji werent so nice that fat fuck would have gotten the beating of several lifetimes.

I think it's mostly because the higher-up people he would beat up are protected by three to five bodyguards.

However, the part where Kaiji's running back here where he beats the fucking shit out of those rat fucks Maeda and Miyoshi is an exception I think because of the difference in position.

Spoilered because I actually didn't know about it going in despite frequenting FKMT threads and it was really fucking satisfying to see.

Could Kaiji beat Kurosawa?

What is the context of this

Kaiji had dear friends he went through hardships together with. He saved them from hell. Then they betray him for cash.
It's the folly of man.

Kurosawa is a hundred man slayer and tactical genius. He's essentially Guts and Griffith combined.

Damn. I've watched the anime but would have never expected those guys to betray him.
Maybe I should start reading the manga

There was plenty of reason actually because he should've gained some respect for Kaiji after he saved his worthless ass like four fucking times. Once from just sitting on the fucking toilet crying like a beta bitch, another from expelling him from the group, from him losing the 2nd star Kaiji gave him out of pure panic and from them having too many fucking cards left on top of not having enough stars.

Furuhata sort of contributed something but Andou could've been any random asshole and after getting carried THAT FUCKING HARD he should be able to suss out that Kaiji is far FAR more clever than him and he will find a way to get back at the guy. Andou was as dumb as a pile of rocks and he didn't earn the money at all.

Attached: saysmanwhobetrayskaiji.jpg (1888x966, 223K)

The main idea yes I think it is, but the actions are of course a bit exaggerated/rushed for dramatism.

IIRC wasn't Andous logic for doing it that if they didn't take him out and just sold their stars, both his and Furuhatas debt could be paid off? And since Kaijis debt is Furuhatas debt it wouldn't have mattered. He probably actually made the right move there.

Yes, and even though it was shitty, I don't really understand why people get so pissed off at Andou for doing what he did, especially when Hyodo was the one who ran the whole shebang. Don't hate the player, hate the game.

I read it on kissmanga

Skip the unneeded recap (the first part of the first ep)? or it will ignite your asshole and you drop the series. Anyway it starts as a bit boring office SOL but it gets kinda healing and comfortable by ep 4 or so. If you like something like shirakuma cafe it's this.

Yes. Remember, the guys boarding that ship are literal scum.

I loved it, but I think the comfy threads had a big impact on that.

Anachronical.

Did people really get so mad at the recap? It was boring, sure, but not really anything to get worked up about.

How much prep time does Kaiji have?

Anyone who doesn't think Kaiji wouldn't get absolutely stomped is delusional.

Believe in Chang and Mario.

Attached: z14.png (785x685, 372K)

Can she beat Washizu in her prime?

Akagi is the master of the game, any game
But Kaiji is the master of fucking with the surroundings to the point that even if you are better in the game it doesn't matter.
Kaiji wouldn't make some amazing strategies at Washizu mahjong but he would break the machine when no one is looking

In a perfect match Akagi stomps, with prep time it's close

Kaiji's never gonna get close to Akagi's level, but he might surprise him a couple of times.

Akagi wouldn't make dice out of bone marrow
Akagi wouldn't tilt a building

That's just not the way he thinks.

Akagi wouldn't need to, but he's not above cheating, either. I'm never gonna buy Kaiji beating Akagi, the most I could believe is Kaiji making the ride more interesting.

ED1 > OP > ED2
prove me wrong

>tfw this thread has me rewatching Kaiji

goddammit season 3 when I can't believe Kaiji was only working for 8 fucking measly dollars an hour. Damn the japs are savage with minimum wage. Guy manages to even have an apartment too

>Kaiji wouldn't make some amazing strategies at Washizu mahjong but he would break the machine when no one is looking

And would still get absolutely stomped by both Washizu and Akagi. He has absolutely no answer to how far their luck and sense for the game goes and, in Akagi's case, has no real psychological flaw to exploit, which is how a lot of Kaiji's strategies and preparations end up actually working. Akagi is also a really good cheater himself, as shown in Ten.

It was the 90s, but still.

I need to remember Akagi's philosophy. I've lost my touch lately.

what the fuck was Nakayama thinking?

He was not like this in the beginning and he is no like this right now anymore, too. His trash gambling picked at betting three physical lives in the Kazooya game and making it back alive. He is in this aniki mode since then, dutiful human bean with obligations and an image to keep.

You should do something about the mouse.

Where in the manga does the anime series end so I can pick up where the anime ends off bros?

>Every single japanese friend Kaiji makes ends up backstabbing him or being a massive asshole
>Make a Chinese and Pinoy friend and they're actually decent human beings for once
What did FKMT mean by this?

Chapter 1

That until the arc ends, then he will waste all of the money in gambling in a month tops, assuming he has any of course.

Akagi would still win. Akagi's bullshit luck is supernatural. When Akagi was old, dying and literally growing retarded, he still forced a perfect draw to a game of Nines.

If I love Kaiji and Akagi are there any other animes worth watching with a similar vibe?

I loved it but the first episode really sucks. If you want to watch it, don't be discouraged by episode 1.

I'd place the OP last if only because it's very awkwardly cut.The ED numbers are both good imo.

Nah, Kaiji will be slightly smarter, try to get into economics and start investing, leading into The Bogdanoff Twins Arc.

Akagi only has bullshit luck twice though.

Playing it is nowhere near as bad as people worse than you trying to give you advice when your only shortcoming was luck

Who would win?
Kaiji and co or the Bognadoffs?

I think at least Kaiji and Kurosawa share a universe with each other

I thought that was more of an easter egg in the opening
No if he were to appear in the show, even as a random bystander, that would have been something

Most of his "friends" are formed by the bond of money.

But Chang and Mario's friendship is formed by the bond of their life.

But he wanted money. When you think about it, Kaiji was in the wrong for thinking he was entitled to it since he never could've earned it without Andou's cards and stars. No matter how you look at I was in the right.
I mean Andou was. Yes.

Just give me a FKMT Ocean's 11. Literally all of FKMT protagonists would be an excellent member in a heist movie.

Just Akagi and Zero together with Kaiji would be too fucking OP, it would be absolute curbstopm action with no challenge

Speaking of which

I've only watched the first season of Kaiji, liked it, but how its the second one? Worth watching?

It's hype.

It'd be so good to see them stomp the opposition

Kaiji can't beat someone who is legitimately good can he? His whole gimmick is turning cheaters against themselves.

He was hardly a decent friend.

Akagi's about to kick the bucket so he tries to go out in a fire by fucking over the richest guys in Japan with the scum of the earth that were ruined by them in the first place
because living is more than just surviving

I'm still conflicted between this and MICHAEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEL being the best FKMT analogy
