----------------------------------------
This has become a fascinating battle between the strength of a king's privilege, allowing him to never doubt, and a slave who has nothing to lose and is able to go all in. This idea and the dialogue on both the life of the poor and the rich being empty earlier bring some interesting thematic ideas into play. It looks like Kazuya's pride and feeling of self-worth being that much higher than a 'piece of trash' is going to make him lead himself into Kaiji's plan. If he thinks Kaiji had to play an ace while going in with everything on the line, I hope he remembers that back when Chang and Mario gave their lives to Kaiji, he bet them with a down card. I recall the line being that when they said they'd be put in to save Kaiji they had already 'jumped the pit of death'.

These 3 chapters, 138-140 were a highlight of this part! I loved seeing Kazuya break down to the point of bleeding, and the page where Kazuya stated Kaiji already decided not to break was one of my favorites in the series.
