Kaiji - Final arc and afterthoughts

What do you do when you have a 2 hours break and no friends, being the fat and ugly basement dwelling antisocial faggot that you are? Well for me, I go to the library and catch up on my anime watching, and today, I watched the last arc of Kaiji, the Tissue Box Raffle. I hate cliffhangers so I only watch Kaiji after the whole arc has ended, and why I watch Sunrise shit is beyond me since they have cliffhangers every episode. For those of you who are unfamiliar with the series, and shame on you, go kill yourself.

Alright, for those of you left who are familiar with the series, or pretending to be, here's a quick recap.

Restricted Rock, Paper, Scissors - The start of the show, basically some introduction, and LOL WUT AN ANIME ABOUT SCISSORS PAPER STONE? It showed some promise, and especially if you started watching Fukumoto's works from Akagi, you'll like it. The crying, the despair, the game and the rules. Also, ANDOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU.

Human Derby - The prime of the series, some people prefer the next arc, but for me, this is the best arc. Mainly because of the speeches, and partly because unlike Bleach, people actually die, in a blink of an eye too. I had fun posting the manga spoilers on /a/ regarding someone's death, lols were had. This also served as a wake up call for most people, but after that, you end up falling deeper into despair, because we all end up realising that what we have been telling ourselves all this time is a lie after all. This is your life, you either start doing shit to get it in order, or well, you already know what's gonna happen.

E-Card - Now, I consider this the second best arc for the anime, it was like Akagi, pure and simple, mind games and fuckery with Kaiji's despair shit. Seeing Kaiji in a Akagi situation was a lot more realistic, since Akagi always had some fucking dumb luck to save his ass, he's a fucking Gary Stu regardless of what your fanboy ass thinks. The fail fact was the whole Tonegawa shit, even though we got some awesome speeches out of it, it really spoiled the arc, the punishment at the end was a good save, but it can't save the fail.

Tissue Box Raffle - When I heard about the whole tissue box stuff, I was thinking man, Kaiji really wasn't thinking, he was too full of himself and wasn't thinking rationally, but he proved me wrong in the middle of the arc. He planned everything nicely. The only reason why he failed was after the chairman saw through his tricks, he despaired. We've seen from the previous arcs, everytime he's at a critical point, he'd keep thinking and find out an effective counter, not this time, he fucking prayed to God. So the moral of the story? When you come into a desperate situation, start thinking and stop praying, praying to God only makes you meet him faster. Miracles only happen in fiction, Kaiji is non-fiction, real life is non-fiction, miracles don't happen here.

I apologise for the spoilers, but it's your fault for pretending to have watched it when you should have killed yourself instead.

Some of the awesome speeches.
