not for me , season 2 games are pretty random so its all about cheating or counter-cheating.

season 1 had awesome mind games.

but well , seems that im the only one not liking this season. (compared to the first)

This season has more real gambling.

What do you mean by foolishness?

E card was a good game itself , yeah there was cheating , but we saw kaiji trying to play normal until he realize , and that arc had awesome mind games.

20 tonnes is the same as around 200 fairly heavy people. Whether or not that's enough to make a floor collapse, I don't know.

I agree with you, I miss these mind games! I still do like the second season, but the first one was so much more interesting and clever!

full of? like where?

rps didnt have , e card had but we got to see kaiiji believing it was fair and trying to figure whats going on , and then we had an awesome last hand in e card with kaiji pulling of that trick with the blood.

so the only the only "full off" was the last one?


but well i guess i havent even watched it... if you say so...

Hum, how exactly was Kaiji able to rent rooms that he put the square water blocks in? Wasn't the entire building owned by Teiai? I'm sure they wouldn't need to rent rooms to people for money...especially when it's also in the same building where you have floors of illegal gambling going on. owo

This season has more real gambling.
Season 1 had foolish games but they were better mind games. Season 2 has better games but they didnt touch upon the psychological aspect as much as the first season, but its still there.

Interesting method by Kaiji. Only thing I didn't quite get was their reasoning of being able to bypass the measure check of the roulette wheel if they did it in 8 hours. If the entire building is tilted to one side, wouldn't that level ruler give it away regardless?

My take on it is that Kaiji was much more naive and "noble" in the first season than he has been in the second season. He didn't straight out suspect cheating in any of the games in the first season UNTIL [towards the late half of] E-Card and, in a sense, the Bridge due to the real solution being a hidden bridge rather than the obvious one.

Kaiji is truly developing as a character over the course of this show, and it's definitely showing in the complexity of his newer schemes, the more risky gambles he's willing to take, and in the sheer depth of screwing with the greedy minds of his opponents! The Chairman and Tonegawa have no idea just how much they helped Kaiji become this monster.

Maybe the Chairman does, but in my opinion, Kaiji's self-righteous battle against the Chairman is endless. The Chairman won as soon as he instilled the love for the thrill of gambling in Kaiji (even if Kaiji himself hasn't realized it yet).

I love this show. I'm freaking addicted to it.

Haha, Kaiji, you have such ideas... You're totally crazy.
So that's what came to his mind when he heard about the constructions... I would have never guessed it.

I wonder if Ichijou have any dirty tricks in his bag left. The rest is left in the hand of God.

Once again, he countered the 3rd and final failsafe not by interfering with the machine itself but by modifying an element outside it, this time being the whole fucking building like how Ichijou said~

It's the first time I've heard of vinyl water cubes but it impressive that he managed to contain 20 tons in one room to sink the building seated on the soft earth by a few cm. That pachinko ball climb was really harrowing.

So the fact that the area around the building is “soft earth” already felt like a stretch to me. Then they just go unseen all day with their “delivery outfits” and manage to fill up 20 tons of water in a room, and nobody working in the casino even knows or cares? This really felt like a reach

No it's possible if the earth is soft it's really easy, and for those 20 vinyl boxes they are small so you don't need a lot of people and the whole building is not a casino remember Kaiji said he rented a few rooms if the building was there property they would found out.
