The end is coming near for this series as Kaiji comes up with the last gambling game. Brilliant at first, but the problems immediately arise.

Tissue Box Raffle, a game based on luck. It’s like the lottery. Take an empty tissue box, cut up paper to about 50 to 60 small squares and mark one with a circle. Put those in the tissue box and the first one to draw the correct ‘ticket’ wins the game. Though Kaiji seems to have a plan in his head.

Claiming that the boxes are awesome, he found a way to cheat. While he was explaining how to certainly win, problems were already beginning to develop. Kaiji found out that he can easily stick another winning ticket in the box. Since the sides of the boxes aren’t glued properly, there is a gap where paper can be pushed through inside the box, but the sides of the boxes are the same, so whenever the Man in Black bring a box, he wouldn’t know which side has the other winning ticket. Luckily for him, the bottom side of the box isn’t glued that properly either! While this will give him a better succes of winning, other problems lay ahead. What if the chairman draws the ticket first? Or what if they find out that Kaiji cheated? Such problems are worth a risk in his eyes, after all, they were screwing around with him too.

The episode itself was alright, just the generic explanation episode before the storm. Hopefully Madhouse makes good use of the last 3 episodes or so. I’ll be damned if there won’t be a second season after this.

When spring season starts, I’ll probably pick up 2 shows. Soul Eater and The Tower of Druaga: the Aegis of URUK. Until then, I will write about Clannad, Kaiji and Rosario + Vampire and the series I randomly watch/read.

Until then. :3
