Kaiji is THE definition of the true bizlet. Naive, inconvievable, fall for every trap, revels in the "we're all gona make it" dream. Only caveat is that the main character actually makes it but most people who try in crypto don't. It exposes the true gambler's dilema, damned if you do, damned if you don't. Some anons been promoting kakegurui but that's just a fiction novelty really.

In the anime and the manga the stakes get increasingly higher, he starts staking a couple million yens and by the end of the manga the fucking dude is staking 200million yens (1.9 million dollars) in single One-Poker (a variation of the real poker game) hands.

I think it relates with biz because he is a gamble junkie who is also a poorfag and just straight trash.

not worth the losing gamble. Only retards play a game where they lose much more than they could win. The writer of the show knows fuck all about finance and just sees 1mil as a high number. the grandest prize he won was 700m from a pachinko machine which comes out to be just shy of 1mil USD.

1. The show takes place in the 1980's so 1 million USD would've been worth a lot more
2. Kaiji is poor and unemployed, so $1,000,000 would be life changing
3. A theme of the anime is that the rich like to step on poorfags like Kaiji and the money Kaiji would gamble his life for is pocket change to them
So it's actually the perfect /biz/ anime, with the Bogdanoffs as the antagonists.

There are very few things like this which cost the same across the world. It's mostly just digital goods and hardware, everything else scales with local economy. Food, bills, rent, gas price, everything.

This is what makes the writing so fucking good. The game doesn't need to be complicated for some big brain fuckery to go on. There's always so many layers of strategy, psychology and emotion to explore from a writing perspective that a complicated game would probably detract from a story that's really supposed to be more about thrill than it is about being "smart". You're meant to relate to Kaiji and his experience, so if you're taking too much time to figure out the rule set then it's going to detract from feeling his highs and lows.

If you're willing to learn to play a game just to watch another great Fukumoto show then Akagi is fucking awesome. He's the man everyone on /biz/ wants to be; cool, confident, always wins, never cracks. Kaiji is a reflection of you, Akagi is who you want to be.

I've watched the anime and can confirm that the show is a lot less interesting if you have no idea how to play mahjong, and it also ends very prematurely. I would really only recommend it if you decide to learn and play mahjong for a few weeks beforehand, because most of the plot twists involve revealing hands/tiles that will make no sense if you don't know what they are or what they mean.

They also live in an alternative reality where the yakuza can literally turn you into a slave if you don't pay back your shit because they interest rate is huge.
Plus kaiji has to work for minimum wage to pay it off and that didn't work.

He was literally betting his life.
