Didn't expect Ichijou's backstory here.

The wine with soaked socks!! Old man is just sick as hell. >.<

Good thing Ichijou has done something to counter Kaiji's plan.

Can't wait how this arc ends.

That Princess and Slave game in the trailer seems interesting.. I want it in anime now!!! xD

Wasn't sure on watching the live action thriller - But I definitely wanna see now...It doesn't look bad ..

Anyways, how long will we have to wait until this arc is over? Every episode so far has been torture..I can't take 3 more episodes of waiting till he hits the jackpot or not...

On another note - The face of an asshole:

That evil smile was pretty epic though..

Lind, c'mon, be reasonable...

He has less than 500 balls left. He is like right at the edge of being totally fucked, no one knows what is happening, and everyone is freaking out!

This is not being dragged. What makes a good anime is that they don't rush telling the story, which is why I don't watch any American television or cartoons anymore. American culture, cinema, cartoons, etc., is so primitive compared to anime. People are in such a rush these days.

To everyone who thinks this is too dragged out: YOU REALLY NEED TO CHILL

You are going to come down with some sort of stress related illness.

What I'm afraid is that they end up dragging the last 500 balls he has out for the next 26 episodes, then they suddenly end the series, and show Kaiji alive 40 years later just to show you that he somehow survived, but they don't give you any idea how that happened.

They have been known to pull some shit like this, but judging how the first season of Kaiji went, who the hell knows. Haidou might even grow a heart 3 times larger and give christmas back to everyone...

Fujiwara will voice one of the series' black-suited men in the series' 26th episode, which is slated to air on September 28 in Japan.

whats all this bitching about draggin' out? kaiji is not only about his game, character development is essentiall and they could've made episodes with only the backround of the chars and then insert only kaiji's game but you wouldnt feel any angst this way, if you guys want nonstop action try another anime, this is for people that apreciate all the parts in a show, oh and it wont end next ep, it has 26 episodes and kaiji is at the bog until episode 25, the 26th will be the aftermath

If anything is dragged out here it's the comments. Every one of you are just repeating what the previous poster said instead of coming up with something creative to say.

I don't mind the pacing at all, but the tension level was pretty low, I felt nothing when compared to the previous episodes.

Edit after rewatching: funny how the first time I watched this episode I didn't really like it yet this time I loved it. It gave Ichijou a much-needed amount of character depth which added to the rivalry between him and Kaiji.

Ok, this is starting to get tiresome. I mean nothing really happened the whole episode. And I sure as hell didn't sign up to watch Dragonball all over again. They better wrap this arc up by next episode or sth. I don't see how they could drag it on for that much already. This was a bad idea, all the interaction between Kaiji and his opponents is indirect, he is just sitting in front of a machine watching as balls fall in.

agreed. Balls rolling into a machine thousands and thousands of times gets old pretty fast.

There a live action movie? Finally something live action that actually interests me.

And I have really dont want to see that obvious device Ichijou has. It'd be way to cheap.

I have a feeling Kaiji is going to have to use the $800000 he got from his friends to beat the bog.

I can't see what Kaiji can do more. All he could do was planning. Like Endou said, if there was something unexpected to happen during the game, he'd have to deal with it.

I can't deny that it's getting pretty dragged out but seeing Ichijou's perspective of things was interesting and more understandable. Him arrogantly smirking at the realization that Kaiji is getting desperate made me root for Kaiji all the way at the end.

I'm impressed that Hyodo is able to hold a sizzling steak with no trouble and put it back like it was nothing lmao. Ichijou had it worse with the feet wine ewwww '^'

The movie preview was a fun watch ("It was supposed to be in the first movie but shit happened." xD) But Kaiji pls get the ball in the hole ;~;

I thought the episode was great, last episode we saw all the crazy shenanigans that Kaiji did but it really made it look like he was about to win, and for every win episode in Kaiji, there is at least 2 episodes where he losses, now we are losing, the fact their interactions are indirect is also really interesting since we can see how much a game of minds can extend to, not just on the table, but outside the table and way beyond the rules of the game, the backstory also helped me see Ichijo in, not in a better light, but more empathetic one, I can feel him trying to win and even root for him a bit, although obviously I don't want Kaiji to lose. Overall this was pretty superb just as always, dragged out? Not really, all episodes can happen show only 5 minutes of time, so I'm used to that, if anything, I don't know how Kaiji will even surpass this out, and I'm excited to see what will happen next.
