I land the blow first but boss also hits me because dying animation lags

still lose

longest arc is a retarded slice of life manga with no real gambling

mangaka fucks off on a hiatus when the arc looks like it's about to finally end

based terminally online gamblerposter

That sounds cool though, I'm anime-only but I liked the segments in between the gambling games.
The mahjong arc is what stops me from trying the manga (on top of typical never ending manga japanese bs)

Every single time I find myself in this situation I always risk going for the finishing blow over healing myself or playing defensively. Literally 100% of the time I do this.
It doesn't work all the time but FORTUNE FAVORS THE BOLD!

if those segments were hundreds of chapters long with the plot not going anywhere you would probably not like them. Yeah the mahjong arc sucks if you know nothing about mahjong. The One Poker arc is great though so I would suggest powering through the mahjong arc if you have nothing to do one day

The mahjong arc is what stops me from trying the manga

It shouldn't, it's not even mahjong, it's an extremely simple game that only uses the tiles and "hand rankings" from mahjong, you should be able to understand it quite easily
You only need to know mahjong for akagi, not kaiji part 3

This would usually be the part where i fumble and drop the ball.

you need to activate the next boss phase manually

This is the theme song of my life

Is this really something that happens

Tokuchi mogs everyone

akagi solos all these guys btw

akagi is a luckshitter fraud

He's a psychopath thrillseeker that will make insane plays with his life on the line for shits and giggles. It's not just luck.

replace code gayass with nagito komaeda

FKMT will get back from his expedition someday

Mahjong arc is kino when you understand the game

The guy from Liar Game would beat the rest if no powers were effective, he can deduce and deceive and manipulate you in a way that you will trust him to be on your side unlike the other ones. Akagi is only good at facing harsh gambles, the guy from classroom of the elite is only good at deducing rules not if other people are using him or for what purpose usually, Lelouch is powerless egomaniac without his geass, one outs guy is only good at baseball/athletics, Kaiji is a luckster and his luck would be the only thing stopping a total domination from happening so he would be an useful pawn for the Liar Game Tournament guy to fleece a victory from pretending to be his ally, he would probably team up with the chick from kakegurui. That's how the shit would went down if they were in a high risk gambling tournament where they would even risk their lives for the win: Wrong he's highly intelligent and gutsy risk taker, I think you meant Kaiji. He deduced the rules of Mahjong without having ever played the game before after just surviving a game of chicken and running away from cops and even using the cop to get the mobsters to accept his cheating hand as legitimate, that's some ballsy fucking 200 IQ genius play nobody would dare to pull off but Akagi.

akiyama literally couldnt even make it through the liar game without nao

That's why he's teaming up and using others like his pawns (Kaiji because he's desperate for an ally and yumeko because she seems reliable because of her experience) and hence win by fleecing off his team mates, Lelouch and L would be too bad of team members for him and would be able to figure out he's using them and planning to ditch them under the buss.

Bossbhas

bastard benchod what are you saying you bloody

deceive and manipulate you in a way that you will trust him to be on your side

Wrong, that is Ayanokoji

die

controller explode

Nah, Ayanokoji pales in comparison, you didn't read Liar's Game.

Strongest Man Kurosawa solos them all (but he'll die after doing so)

(And I bet he would be driven to team up with L and Akagi as they seem to fit his otherwise laid back (appearing) personality the best.)

you didn't read Liar's Game.

I did
How many people exactly did akiyama deceive and manipulate so they would be on his side?
Ayanokoji is way better at it

He couldn't deceive or manipulate L, de-facto, nobody could deceive L if we think about it clearly, he would also mostly keep his suspicions in the dark until its useful for him to reveal them as facts, he's the one who figured out Kira's identity through random deaths after all. Ayanokoji never faced similar things as what was going on in Liar's Game however as well, in a regular school setting Ayanokoji could be decent but these guys are all vets.

what is row2first and row3last
correct desuwa

Ayanokoji

reddit tier

Hell Madarame would be a fucking beast though and it would be his alliance with Lelouch and Toa Tokuchi that would be the final against the Liar Game trio vs Class Room trio, let's call these three Delinquent Chuuni Trio then, kek. Madarame Baku wen through probably the worst gambles out of all nine, none could top his games and only 45% of them could power through half of what he did if we count in all the violent gambles as well.

You're changing the topic though, you said

deceive and manipulate you in a way that you will trust him to be on your side

This barely even applies to Akiyama
Why? because of the high school setting, or because COTE is popular?

He would be capable of manipulating people to act on in his behalf whilst making them feel he was doing it for their good.

Why? because of the high school setting, or because COTE is popular?

too childish, as much as I like it, it does make you cringe the rightway, he is just an edgelord that just serves the viewer to feel cool and epic because he is the giga smart young guys that gets the last dub always
first and second are for the mature audience desu
L is also kino tier

codegeass

edgelord tier but at least it accepts the fact that it is edgelord

boss damage increases as his HP decreases

the weapon you use has that stat also

Again that's ayanokoji not akiyama, his manipulation isn't just about getting results, it's about doing it through others without them realizing it. He gets people to act out his plans under the impression it's their own will or that he's helping them. Akiyama, on the other hand, is more of a straight shooter, he wins through logic, psychology, and reading people, but he doesn’t play the long-con emotionally manipulative angle the same way Ayanokoji does. Ayanokoji is literally built to be the ghost puppetmaster in the back it's the whole point of the series

that just serves the viewer to feel cool and epic because he is the giga smart young guy

Yeah that totally doesn't apply to anyone else in that image

raw damage increase

into the trash

crit rate buff at low HP

now we're talking

me when I pick the high risk/high reward option on purpose every time and keep losing

what happened to all the risky build options in gaming? are MMOs the only genre that still have them?

To add to this guy's post, Akagi is extremely intelligent. In his own manga there is no one to play against that matches his intelligence so he vastly outperforms them (it's different in Ten though). It's just that he's often placed in a handicap thanks to the money difference so he's forced to pull outlandish and almost suicidal moves.

Akagi's weakness are his principles. In a fair game he's against cheating and he'd take a loss without complaining, while the other players would likely cheat or figure out some bullshit rule to keep on going.

To defend Kaiji, he's also always fighting with severe handicap. He'll do everything to bend his chances of winning over 50%. In the end, thanks to unseen factors it does end up coming down to luck, but that's gambling.

Anyway, was thinking since others were from gambling anime and there were two that weren't. L could easily be replaced with Yugi Mutou (OG high stakes gambling chuuni) since the rest of the characters are all about gambling if we exchanged Lelouch as well as those two are different types of genres entirely. Why not something like Katagiri Yuuichi from Tomodachi Game?

the author is not a 200 IQ genius puppetmaster and can't write the character flawlessly

No way

What's the vidya equivalent? We should make a Anon Babble version of this image

I pity the fools who haven't read Akagi and Ten

There is none gambling game.
But i guess you could cheat using anime game

videogame characters are mostly stupid and their brain only exists to follow checkpoints and do shitty fetch quests

The weight had to go somewhere growing up.

The slice of life arc is worth it for these bits of treasure.

panic and die to the boss

I nominate Phoenix Wright

Kaiji also learns from experience. The fact that he avoided being taken down by betrayal the second time it was attempted shows that he's no pawn anymore.

Kaiji is really the ultimate survivor, seriously the name is so peak

Kinoiji

I wish he didn't get his fingers/ear back immediately desu, everything else was perfect

Kaiji is really the gyakkyo burai, seriously the namae wa nice desuyo ne

Kakegurui is better

agreed but Anon Babble isnt gonna like this post

The duel against Tonegawa is the best arc in all of Kaiji desu

YOU BLOODY MOTHER.....
YOU BLOODY....
MOTHERFUCKER....
YOU... YOU... YOU...

better for gooners maybe.

He was still buttfucked by every achievement due to thinking they would let him off easily, lmao.

when I edge my dick it involves more gambling and strategy than any arc in kaiji

iirc Washizu gives up because Akagi is so far ahead with the ability to reinfuse basically all his blood that there's no point in continuing, after Washizu loses like a billion dollars
Akagi decides to take his vials of blood, dump them in a decorative bowl, and dump an ash tray in it to convince Washizu to keep playing
I do not remember him feeding Washizu the blood

Kaiji Anon Babble thread

Based. Also this happened between me and Vordt recently. We both had a sliver of health but none of us was hitting each other for like 1 minute straight. I nearly came buckets when I killed his hog ass.

please add the mr beans in the image please please please i am the beg of you

AND THEN HE PISSED AND SHAT HIMSELF AND THEN PISSED SOME MORE

Fukumoto...

Rereading Minefield Mahjong, Friendship Game, and One Poker back-to-back is still GOAT, at least. Wish Kaiji got a S3 and S4 to cover those with the original guy behind S1 and S2's music, but that guy's still blacklisted, isn't he?

The stakes raising of Kaiji was fucking bizarre. It went from gambling like 10k, to a Squid game death match, to gambling over your freedom, to money again, (manga>) to Kaiji just sitting in a chair and watching others risk their lives without any involvement by him whatsoever.

Kaijibros...he didn't learn anything...

bad idea.png - 1127x1600, 1.39M

why is he blacklisted? Did he diddle kids? Smoke some weed?

No one thinks that,
Maybe if the MC had been cuter, but she does nothing for me and I am the straightest poster ITT.

Its just a bog-standard hime chick, art's nice but that's all.

Smoke some weed?

This

Heh, I remembered reading right, he had to do a PSA about it. Japan should chill with the whole weed thing at least for creative types, it helps them usually.

wtf is funai doing there

There are plenty of good replacements for him. I'd nominate the guy who composed Devilman Crybaby and Chainsaw Man.

outsmarts all of them and makes them kill themselves

vagueposts through all of human history to make them go insane

if only urasawa knew how to write an ending

Don't confuse my nigger Mario with that snake in the ass.

Ayanokoji literally can't lose

You can't beat a high level conspiracy that runs with the CIA types unless you are the CIA types.

Monster has shit writing so johan doesnt count

He can, here's how: Yes/No Minority Vote, Werewolf Game and Mahjong. He's not the one calling the shots, the game is rigged against his sort.

DUDE..WHAT IF…JOHAN PERFECTLY CALCULATED WHERE TO PUT THE BULLET IN HIS BRAIN WHEN HE SHOT HIMSELF SO IT WOULDN’T BE FATAL

Monster has got to be the most overrated manga in existence number 2 most overrated is Berserk

you haven't read COTE

based

Even if he loses to the rigged game he still wins. Everything was part of his plan since he was in his mothers womb

He could survive Yes/No through deduction, he couldn't win Werewolf Game, Mahjong? Well he couldn't win it, he could probably come out neutral at best (2nd place.)

boss has multiple phases

get overconfident in the first phase

boss wipes the floor with you in phase 2

Hyoudou.png - 735x415, 259.04K

he could easily win in mahjong, chess or really anything
unless he decides to lose on purpose and coming 2nd place was a part of his plan (it happens with chess in the series)

Considering he would be against a team that's likely cheating against him through collusion since teaming up is allowed and there's plenty mahjong high stakes pros in the list (4 at least that are capable gamers, Yumeko, Kaiji, Akagi and Madarame, if 2 of these end up against him, he's perma-fucked.

Boss has multiple phases

Second phase has literally nothing to do with the first phase whatsoever

Second phase is a lot harder

Have to fight first phase repeatedly until it's a complete snooze fest that teaches you nothing

Hated Maliketh for this, one of the reasons I decided not to finish Elden Ring

...bigger

No way man, use your brain. You know damn well that the parts after S2 do not make good anime, they are just too visually static even when compared to the earlier Kaiji material. They ONLY wir around with zero risk to Kaiji.

but Akagi

S1 of a franchise is not as hard a sell as ”watch S3 of this sitting around anime”

New season of ayanokoji kino fucking when
Im thinking of just switching to the light novel

I really need to read usogui

Its mogs all FKMTslop

it's pretty sad that monster is Urasawa's most known manga when it's one of his worst

It works better than healing. Everytime I heal I get killed while in animation.

liars game and usogui
