By faggot do you mean moe?

>turn into

Because he's trash. He is human trash.

>>55444152
moe/kizu

>>55444188
this, he's the lowest of the low.

He is a typical harem lead

Who knows?

Why do the black suits make me think of Yu-Gi-Oh?

Kaiji will always be a survivor. Not a winner, a survivor.

Because he lost control of his life.

>>55444462
That would imply he had control over it to begin with.

Because he's suffering from depression.

>>55444529

The same could be said of all men.

>>55444561
No, not really.

He's worthless.
He's so pathetic he can save peoples lives and still they betray him later.

I'm not talking about Andou.

SHIT STORM INCOMING

>>55444544
The really crazy thing is, Kaiji is actually a really intelligent and talented guy. His problem is that this talent only shows itself in do-or-die situations, and the rest of the time his life is perpetuated by laziness and other problems.

He is like /a/... He pretty much thinks that people who have money are bad people. It was implied when he broke Endou's car and thought that a person who drives a BMW can't be a good person, also he was pretty rude towards Ichijou right from the start. He's really just depressed because he's a NEET and doesn't have money but he still doesn't like working or being ordered around, that's why he's hooked on gambling. He still has a kind heart and he's naive and dumb, he trusts too easily on people who are "on his level". He's pathetic yet still so moe.

>>55444125
He's desperate for adrenaline, it's explained at the beggining of the second season, he doesn't feel alive unless he's gambling.

But he was gambling when he got that way.

>>55444721
>His problem is that this talent only shows itself in do-or-die situations, and the rest of the time his life is perpetuated by laziness and other problems.
Just like mine. Kaiji only emphasizes my failures? Why can't I just do things right and build up from the start?

>>55444760
>He pretty much thinks that people who have money are bad people

Man, in Kaiji-land that's pretty much true.

>>55444760
>>55444863
He had a job midway through season one where he meet Sahara, remember?

He most likely got adicted to the adrenaline of gambling.

>>55444916
In Kaiji land people are bad people.

People should be talking about Hotel Akagi instead of this.

He's a worthless loser.

He's intelligent as fuck and has balls of steel but he's still a worthless loser. Even if you're the king of losers, you're still a loser.

Oh my god the last episode was a bit rage worthy for me. Kaiji turned into a loser. I was hoping for him to get really rich, and I was really glad when he won the Bog, but in the end he was fucked. That guy with the shades is really a fucking coward for putting sleeping pills in the beer Kaiji was drinking. He could have confronted Kaiji but he's a coward.

Because he embodies the best and worst of youth at the same time. I really hope that FKMT makes him grow up to the badass he deserves to be, even if for that we have to stand for the borefest that part 4 has been so far.

>>55444916
But in Kaiji-land people who don't have money aren't any better either, they usually get blinded by money though so it could be somewhat true.

>>55444947
Yeah he did and he hated it. When they were taking a break together he felt uncomfortable because of the atmosphere, he didn't like it when he was supposed to act like he likes his boss.

>>55444947
Well he hated the job, and I can't really blame him. His boss was an asshole too.

>>55445009
are you reading it raw or have they started translating?

>>55444947
It's more like, his sense of the worth of money has been completely warped since he started gambling. He's won, and had chances to win, much, MUCH more money than he knows he could ever earn from even a lifetime of working. After seeing how much he could potentially get, he likely doesn't think working for it his whole life is even worth the trouble to make a fraction of an amount he could make from gambling.

Addiction to things like this is a serious problem. You get hooked on gambling, or things like extreme sports, or even just drugs, and there's not really a chance to turn back after that point until you lose everything on that addiction.

>>55445009
Is part 3 any good? I heard it only has mahjong.

What did /a/ think of the last episode? I wasn't browsing /a/ when it aired.

>>55445094
This scene is so painful to watch because it's true.

;_;

>>55445100
I read what was translated of Part 3 so far, looks like it. Or I'm missing some later chapters.

>>55445019
>When they were taking a break together he felt uncomfortable because of the atmosphere, he didn't like it when he was supposed to act like he likes his boss.
I'd probably have that same problem if I wound up with a job like the one he had. Sucking up to the boss and pretending to be a diligent little worker bee always pisses me off, I wouldn't be able to put up with that shit for more than a few days at most.
Then again, I'm more the kind of guy who tends to speak his thoughts and be brutally honest about everything. Silly little social pleasantries never held much worth to me, I still don't see the point in them most of the time.

>>55445155
Was pretty meh for an ending, but that feel when the s1 OP played

why does zero turn into a douche when he's gambling?

>>55445263
It's his new sunglasses.

>>55445263
them shades

>>55445100
It could've been so much better if it was about uno.

>>55445094
Part 3 shows some growth in that aspect, because he refuses to gamble until he´s sure that the game is rigged, since a cheat can be overwritten with another cheat. So it's not mindless gambling, he takes more like a job, with a risk, but a job.

>>55445316
If only.
;_;

>>55445155
The last episode wasn't received as well as episode 25, probably because episode 25 was the climax and 26 was just wrapping up the end of the second season.
Most of the threads were just having fun pointing out the references to other Fukumoto works (Hotel Akagi, Zero walking in the background, Akagi on the posters at the end, etc.) and other people being pleased at hearing s1's OP playing again right at the very end of the episode.

Then there were people who were pissed off about Endou taking his share from Kaiji's winnings, and some people saying they were pleased at how the episode felt much more conclusive than season 1's as a good stopping point, while yet others felt that it just left Kaiji right back where he started in an (arguably) worse position than before the whole mess started.

I'd say overall it was actually pretty well-received, even if there were some people with mixed feelings over how things turned out. In my opinion though, it was an absolutely fantastic adaptation overall.

>>55445349
Well, since the beggining of the second arc in season two he said he was looking for a rigged place since he was sure he could find and exploit some mistake on the cheating party.

>>55445233

This is what sucks about shitty jobs. It's not bad enough that you're working at a gas station, you have to be thankful for the opportunity.

>>55445233
I know it sucks but sometimes you just have to deal with it, I managed to get a better job after going through a few extreme shit jobs which is why I also liked Ichijou's story, it was kind of like opposite of Kaiji's.

>>55445263

>>55445408
>others felt that it just left Kaiji right back where he started in an (arguably) worse position
Where there people seriously arguing that? It's true that Kaiji is again broken, but at the very least he paid is debt, that's absolutely better than how he began.

>>55445247
Indeed, I loved it when Season 1 OP played. I think it's really badass when the OP of an anime gets played in the end, for example with the end of TTGL.

>>55445510
I agree, in the end of s2 he actually has friends too.

>>55445510
Kaiji wasn't addicted to gambling at the very beginning.

>>55445316
Damn captcha eating up my images again.

>>55445563
>friends

>>55445581
That's true, that's why he didn't beg Endou to get him into a gamble on the first episode... Oh wait.

>>55445581
He was already slightly addicted to a different kind of gambling, just normal poker and so on. He kept losing yet he didn't stop.

>>55445563
>in the end of s2 he actually has friends too.
Well, about that...

>>55445635

well he did that while panicked about the huge amount of money he suddenly owed and had no way of paying

he's one of those people that can only function in do-or-die situations, once they out of that and into a normal, stable environment they simply fail.

>>55445658
What? Don't tell me they betray him too, I'm pretty sure I read a chapter of part 3 where the 45's are helping him set up the mahjong game so they could out-cheat the other guy.

>>55445658
>>55445563
Well, at the end. Not sure about afterwards.

Don't ruin my dreams ;_;

>>55445563
Keep telling yourself that

>>55445717
>>55445720
They betray him.

hard.

>>55445745
who didn't see it coming?

>>55445720
They're are his friends at the time they go to a bar, yes. Friends can still stab your back you know.

>>55445745
What about Ishida's son?

>>55445768
It's not that we didn't see that coming, we just want to delude ourselves into thinking that Fukumoto doesn't hate Kaiji enough to have him have at least one real friend.

>>55445807
I've only heard that the guy who kept scores in the dungeon backstabbed him.

Dunno about the rest.

Kaiji should have tried saving Ichijou instead of those 45ers and Ishida's son, although he wouldn't have enough money anyway.

>>55445861
Ichijou's debt is the very ammount Kaiji won from the bog, he couldn't save him even if he wanted to.

>>55445861
Ichijou saves himself, he can do anything!

>>55445745
>>55445798
Fuck.

I want to see Kaiji play starcraft

>>55445951
Don't worry, he's not all alone in this cruel, cold world.

>>55446025
I'd rather see him play League of legends. What champion would Kaiji play? I think Twisted Fate.

>>55446098
Shaco

>>55445510
Well, at the start of season 1 he just seemed to be a lazy NEET (or possibly a freeter) who went around puncturing tires and stealing hood ornaments to relieve stress, but that was before he wound up knee-deep in debt.
By the end of part 2 he's essentially hooked on gambling, can't even get off his ass to work, and even becomes borderline-hikikomori for a period of time before eventually winding up in gambling yet again. It's like Endou said at the start of part 2(?), Kaiji has basically become a junkie hooked on gambling and lured in by the idea of winning big instead of doing honest work to earn the money himself.

Though at least by the end of part 2 he's got all his debts paid, made a lot of new acquaintances, and given Teiai a pretty big hit after they stuck him in so much debt in the first place. In my opinion it would be fine if the anime left off there instead of continuing like the manga did, but honestly I wouldn't mind a season 3 or even season 4 after that. It's just that the end of part 2 feels like a pretty good stopping point, since Kaiji's no longer being chased by loan sharks or being forced to work the rest of his life underground or anything like that.

>>55446243

Kaiji and Ichijou team up, backed by new Vice President (Ichigo I think?). They take down Hyoudo

Kaiji joins Teiei. Years later, he's a black suit going to some debtor's house. Asks the guy if he wants to take a drive, finds his car tires slashed. He tells the guy to go home, and that he needs to pay his debt within the month. The guy runs off, Kaiji pulls out a piece of paper from his pocket: a ticket for The Espoir. He rips it up, and walks off.

>>55446151
Good stopping point MY GREEN ANONYMOUS ASS
TEIAI MUST GO DOWN

Wish Project Bite Me! would pick up the pace and scanlate the rest of Part 3 already. I don't want to read two-three chapters each month or two.

>>55446151
For me there's no good stopping point until Hyodou is bowing before Kaiji.

I know that won't happen before I'm 40, and probably longer for an anime adaption.

>>55447331
Didn't they get a new translator or something a while ago so they can pick up the pace now?

>>55447397

I'm not sure about that, but I remember one thread we had where one of the staff members mentioned how one of the things that made Kaiji take so long was the editing, so I'm not sure if a new translator would help all that much.

>>55447471
It could have been an editor as well, I'm not sure.

>>55447331
They're scanlating like five chapters simultaneously right now.

>>55447390
Fukumoto will die before that happens.

>>55446025
>not RISK

>>55447594
He's immortal, like Araki. Power of moe will keep him alive.

>>55447390
Fuck yeah man, I'll grin like I never grinned, I mean it, when Hyoudou will bow down and cry like a bitch in front of Kaiji.
That would be the final gample, one epic show to conclude the story of Kaiji, when he and Hyoudou bet on the future of Japan.
Considering how Hyoudou is powerful, it seems believable. He probably have his hands on the japanese government.

Itou Kaiji, national hero.

I'm curious to see whether if there will be more FKMT adaptations after this series ends. I personally would like to see Zero being adapted but it doesn't have that feel with Akagi or Kaiji.

>>55447856
The only right answers is a Kurosawa anime.

>>55447696
I think he doesn't, he stated himself that while he's rich the politicians have his life in their hands. That's why he wants to get so rich and powerful that he can create a shelter empire. I think that he completely lost his mind during WW II nuking and he believes that he will live forever.

>>55444125
Because he's not Akagi. He only stayed in his Hotel.

>>55447856
I would watch the shit out of a Zero anime.

>>55448049
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b0Xfwac11ZQ
Me too, and that's most probably their next new FKMT project.

>>55447932
I guess it's up to Kaiji to bring back reality in his mind.

Sometimes, the loser wins.

Kaiji will win a bet against Hyoudo for all his money.
Winning causes Hyoudo to melt isntead of just going back on his word, because Hyoudo is an insane bastard where that kinda logic works.

>jews
>nazis
>labor camp
>nukes and vaults

>>55448232
As much I'd like that idea I don't think it's possible in Kaiji-land. Being Kaiji is suffering, Zero has it easier. I wonder if Fukumoto will kill Kaiji too.

>>55448705
I'm pretty sure it'll be pretty bittersweet. Either Kaiji continues to be a looser after Teiai is gone, or he goes down with it.

>>55445450

>>55450184
This has never happened to me yet but I had an experience that was opposite of it, I wanted to quit my job but my boss wanted to keep me. In the end I had to pay back half of the pay I got there because I had mindlessly signed contracts I didn't read well enough, it's pretty unusual but in cases like that it's possible for the employer to make you pay if you leave before you're supposed to. I got a better job though so while I lost all that money I got a way better life in return and also learnt not to be so stupid. Now that I think about it I should have just tried to get fired but I couldn't do it.

>>55450512
That's called being overqualified for your job, I think. Or it might relate to that sort of state. Either way, the last time I was overqualified for something, I was pretty much being ripped off to do everybody's work under the guise of 'training'. For pretty much no compensation.

Fuck the web industry. Seriously.

>>55450512
That actually reminded me of when I made it to this point when reading Majikoi. Sums up both Kaiji and situations in the real world as well, it's always important to read the fine print in these contracts no matter how simple the terms seem at first glance.
You never know when you're going to be screwed over by some paperwork you absentmindedly signed without reading through it all carefully and properly.
