Gambling Apocalypse Kaiji - Kazuya Arc

Picking up in the immediate aftermath of Tobaku Datenroku Kaiji, this arc drops readers straight back into the perilous gambling underworld Kaiji can never quite escape. Having just claimed a hard-won victory in a ruthless two-player mahjong duel against the villainous President Muraoka Takashi, Kaiji finally has reason to breathe—for once, the odds have fallen decisively in his favor, and a tremendous triumph is his. Yet the night is far from over. As Kaiji is driven home, he finds himself in the company of Kazuya, the son of the powerful Chairman Hyoudou. Somewhere along the way, Kazuya poses an unexpected proposition: would Kaiji be interested in taking part in one more gamble before the night comes to an end? For a man whose life has been shaped by desperate wagers, refusal hardly seems possible. Kaiji accepts the invitation—but at what cost? What surprises does Kazuya have waiting in the shadows, and what new game will put Kaiji's wits and nerve to the test this time?
