    I think they would just skip the next round and just show the summary how the chairman lost.

    Ep 10:

    Prediction, the old man will lose everything and Kaiji will end up having to add his name to the list of washouts he has to save

    okay, I think I have one big problem with this second season of Kaiji:

    The first season was all about using the perfect tactic. With the exception of the Slave-King card-game against Tonegawa, every game was manageable by skill. Maybe a bit of luck was involved, too, but skills was a big part at any time.

    This second season, so far, seems to be themed on luck. The dice-game was pure luck, and if it wasn´t for the other guy cheating, Kaiji wouldnt have had any chance at willingly winning the game. Now, they´re trying to win Pachinko. That´s 100% luck, again. And, again as well, the only chance of winning arises from the machine itself being rigged. Oh, and by cheating themselves, this time (though we dont know about the plan yet).

    If it really was the idea behind the second season to make it about luck and cheating, then I guess I can live with it. But to be honest, I´m somewhat disappointed. The formula in season 1 was "game has rules, game seems like it allows for tactics, other people start bullshitting, Kaiji perseveres and wins". The formula for this season, instead, is "game has rules, game doesnt allow for tactics at all, Kaiji has no chance at winning by following the rules, other people cheat, Kaiji finds out and wins".

    @Archangel: The old man has a strange feeling about him imo. When he first accidentially showed the code-paper to Kaiji and was shocked that Kaiji got a glimpse, I thought it was because he was secretly working for the Big Boss, hired to take away Kaiji´s money and getting him back into hell. So the paper wasnt related to the chairman of the evil company, but I still think he could be there to hurt Kaiji. We´ll see.

    I disagree, in every challenge so far there was never such a thing as a sure way to win. There was always a way to use your brains to increase your odds but there was also always a need for luck, that's why it's called a gamble.

    Only exception would be the circus balance challenge, but in that one Kani wasn't the gambler, others were gambling on him instead.

    You call weeks of self control and planning by Kaiji before the chairman match luck?

    Thanks shinta|hikari for the sig.

    The game itself was pure luck and cheating. Without that, all his self control and planning wouldnt have been worth a penny.

    From what I've heard, episode 14 is a recap episode with no new content. Also, Nutbladder didn't stop subbing it...
