**[00:46] ---**
Damn it...
**[01:01] Sei**
Please.
**[01:03] Sei**
Just let me win, just for tonight.
**[01:08] Sei**
Please!
**[01:10] Voice**
You won't win.
**[01:17] Voice**
That rock isn't going to make you win.
**[01:21] Voice**
Hold it, kid.
**[01:25] Voice**
You look like you're in a pretty tight spot.
**[01:29] Voice**
So you thought you'd come pray to the legend.
**[01:36] Voice**
Talk about gutless.
**[01:47] Voice**
Who decided that these things would
be good luck charms for gamblers?
**[01:56] Sei**
I just thought I'd try it.
**[02:03] Sei**
Yeah, they call him the
legendary Mahjong player.
**[02:07] Sei**
But it's just a story that
became larger than life.
**[02:14] Old**
How much do you need?
**[02:21] Old**
You're stuck because you're in
serious gambling debt, right?
**[02:26] Old**
Have you been losing all your life?
**[02:29] Old**
How much are you in the hole?
**[02:35] Sei**
Three million yen.
**[02:38] Old**
That's it?
**[02:41] Sei**
For me, that's a lot.
**[02:43] Sei**
If I can't repay it, I might as well hang myself!
**[02:48] Sei**
I absolutely can't lose tonight.
**[03:03] Old**
Hey, why don't we play
evens or odds with these dice?
**[03:10] Sei**
Huh?
**[03:12] Old**
If you win, I'll make all
of your debt go away.
**[03:19] Sei**
You got three million yen, gramps?
**[03:24] ---**
Well, now...
**[03:26] Old**
Selling this here will get me around that.
**[03:34] Old**
But it wouldn't be fair unless
you bet something, too.
**[03:40] Sei**
Huh?
**[03:42] Old**
Let's see...
**[03:47] Old**
Why don't you bet that arm of yours?
**[03:53] Sei**
My arm?
**[04:00] Old**
What do you say?
**[04:02] Old**
It's a good deal.
**[04:07] Sei**
You're insane.
**[04:08] Old**
Huh?
**[04:10] Sei**
What do you even stand to gain by this?
**[04:14] Old**
Nothing at all.
**[04:17] Old**
It is absurd.
**[04:19] Old**
It is illogical.
**[04:21] Old**
Isn't that the essence of gambling?
**[04:36] Old**
Let's go.
**[04:38] Old**
Evens or odds?
**[04:40] Old**
Bet on whichever one you believe in!
**[04:59] Sei**
I'm sorry! I'm sorry!
**[05:07] Old**
For crying out loud...
**[05:09] Old**
How pathetic.
**[05:12] Old**
No, I guess that's normal.
**[05:24] Old**
You were the only one.
**[05:27] Old**
The only one who could believe in yourself
and put your life on the line.
**[05:35] Old**
Hey, Akagi.
**[05:38] Old**
That night's battle was out of the ordinary.
**[05:44] Old**
It was sublime.
**[05:47] Old**
No, that word doesn't do it justice.
**[05:55] Old**
It was madness.
**[06:12] Old**
I never would have thought
you'd meet that end.
***SIGN*** Showa Year 40
(1965)
***SIGN*** Inada Group's Second in Command
Ougi Takeshi
**[06:50] Guy**
You're late. Where the hell have you been?
**[06:53] Yasu**
Getting this from someone
I know who works at a hospital.
**[06:56] Yasu**
He's saying he won't even have a cup
of tea poured by the other side.
***SIGN*** Dirty Cop
Yasuoka
**[07:08] Guy**
I see.
**[07:09] Guy**
They wouldn't even think twice to
poison him if they got cornered.
**[07:15] Yasu**
At any rate, tonight's game is big.
**[07:21] Guy**
What's the matter?
**[07:23] Aka**
Oh...
**[07:28] Aka**
I smell something.
**[07:33] Aka**
Something that smells like me.
***SIGN*** Washizu
**[07:48] Was**
How fun...
**[07:53] Was**
How truly fun this will be.
***SIGN*** Akagi Shigeru
**[08:49] Man**
Please wait here.
**[09:00] Yasu**
So this is the castle of
the king of the underworld.
**[09:03] oug**
Yes.
**[09:05] oug**
It feels so otherworldly...
**[09:16] oug**
His life was a series of victories.
**[09:21] oug**
The power of money, and of the secrets of many politicians and businessmen...
**[09:27] oug**
Put those two things together and you
have someone nobody dared to oppose.
**[09:32] oug**
An absolute force of oppression.
**[09:35] oug**
That is Washizu Iwao.
**[09:40] yasu**
A life where he was the only winner, huh?
**[09:44] oug**
He kept one step ahead of the times
**[09:46] oug**
and used the weaknesses of others
to control them completely.
**[09:51] oug**
The dark emperor standing behind
this country's underworld.
**[09:55] oug**
A real monster.
**[09:59] oug**
Which is why it takes a
monster to hunt a monster.
**[10:15] Guard**
Washizu-sama has arrived.
***SIGN*** Washizu Iwao
**[10:37] Was**
Are you my opponent tonight?
**[10:42] Aka**
I am.
**[10:44] Was**
How old are you?
**[10:49] Aka**
Nineteen.
**[10:54] Was**
Youth is valuable.
**[10:57] Was**
That very youth is proportional to
the huge sum I'm putting on the line.
**[11:04] Was**
Ougi-kun.
**[11:05] Oug**
Yes.
**[11:08] Was**
This young man might die here.
**[11:14] Was**
Is that all right with you?
**[11:18] Oug**
That is fine.
**[11:19] Was**
Splendid.
**[11:24] Was**
Now, then...
**[11:27] Was**
What is your name?
**[11:32] Aka**
Akagi.
**[11:39] Aka**
Akagi Shigeru.
**[11:59] Guy**
The match between Akagi and Washizu
that would later become legend
**[12:08] Guy**
in the Mahjong underworld
**[12:12] Guy**
began here, on this night.
**[12:20] Was**
Take a seat.
**[12:29] Was**
Let me explain to you the house rules
of this mansion's Washizu Mahjong.
**[12:35] Was**
I said "rules," but they do not really
differ from regular Mahjong rules.
**[12:41] Was**
What differs are the tools.
**[12:48] Was**
We use these transparent tiles to play.
**[12:55] Was**
In each suit, three of the
four tiles are transparent,
**[13:00] Was**
and only one is a regular tile with a black back.
**[13:07] Was**
Playing with these makes the
gamble more interesting.
**[13:22] Was**
Has the opponent reached tenpai?
**[13:24] Was**
What tiles are they waiting for?
**[13:27] Was**
How many dora do they have?
**[13:29] Was**
You can see it all for yourself,
**[13:31] Was**
which makes discarding all the more difficult.
**[13:35] Was**
What do you think? Pretty interesting, huh?
**[13:39] Was**
Awareness breeds fear.
**[13:44] Was**
People tremble only after
they have become aware.
**[13:47] Was**
And it is watching people become aware
and start to tremble that I find so amusing.
**[13:55] Was**
You'll see what I'm talking about,
once we start to play.
**[13:59] Was**
Back to business.
**[14:02] Was**
Let's talk about the way we do things
when we play with these transparent tiles.
**[14:09] Was**
There are three rules.
**[14:13] Guy**
The first is that no wall will be built.
**[14:17] Guy**
The tiles for the starting hand and
each draw are taken from this hole.
**[14:21] Was**
It's no fun if you know the
next tile you will draw.
**[14:27] Guy**
Second, so that the tiles can't
be read with the fingers,
**[14:33] Guy**
draws are made with a leather glove.
**[14:37] Was**
Clever, don't you think?
**[14:39] Guy**
The third rule regards the indicators for dora,
reverse dora, and new dora from kan.
**[14:46] Guy**
After everybody has their starting hand,
the dealer draws one more tile from the hole
**[14:49] Guy**
to be the dora indicator for that hand.
**[14:53] Guy**
The same applies to reverse dora and kan dora.
**[14:56] Was**
Three rules.
**[14:59] Was**
Simple, isn't it?
**[15:02] Aka**
Sure.
**[15:05] Yasu**
What's inside that hole?
**[15:07] Guy**
After all the tiles are placed in here,
**[15:11] Guy**
when someone touches this metal rim,
**[15:13] Guy**
a machine will automatically shuffle the tiles.
**[15:16] Was**
There is no way to cheat.
**[15:18] Was**
If you still have doubt, look for yourself.
**[15:29] Was**
Akagi-kun, the real matter comes after that.
**[15:35] Was**
There was a time when I used to play Mahjong
**[15:39] Was**
for millions of yen with the young
men Ougi-kun introduced me to.
**[15:45] Was**
For a while, I was quite enthralled,
but it's not enough for me anymore.
**[15:53] Was**
What I'm trying to say is, it no longer moves me.
**[15:59] Was**
Which is why, lately,
I've stopped betting money,
**[16:04] Was**
and started to bet on something more suitable
**[16:08] Was**
to counterbalance my assets.
**[16:10] Was**
That is to say...
**[16:11] Aka**
The player's blood.
**[16:18] Aka**
You're telling me to bet my blood, right?
**[16:20] Was**
You're a sharp one.
**[16:22] Was**
That's right, you will be betting your blood.
**[16:28] Was**
If you lose, you die.
**[16:32] Was**
Death generally starts creeping in once the body
**[16:37] Was**
loses about a third of its blood supply.
**[16:42] Was**
Usually the blood loss is
fatal before the 50% mark.
**[16:49] Was**
Based on your body,
you most likely have somewhere
**[16:52] Was**
between 4 and 4.5 liters
of blood, which means
**[16:56] Was**
you have about 2,000 CCs of blood to bet.
**[17:03] Was**
I am putting a price on the amount
of blood you need to live.
**[17:12] Was**
Twenty million yen!
**[17:15] Voice**
Twenty million yen at that time is
equivalent to about 200 million yen today.
**[17:22] Was**
What do you say?
**[17:23] Was**
That's enough money to live as you
please for the rest of your life.
**[17:28] Was**
Worth betting your life on, don't you think?
**[17:32] ---**
So...
**[17:34] Was**
Now, how do we convert my twenty million yen
**[17:41] Was**
and your 2,000 CCs into Mahjong points?
**[17:45] Was**
I'd say that 200,000 points
would be the appropriate amount.
**[17:50] Guy**
Which is to say, If you lose 200,000 points
during six East-South matches,
**[17:55] Guy**
you will lose 2,000 CCs of blood and die.
**[17:58] Guy**
On the other hand,
if you only lose 100,000 points,
**[18:00] Guy**
you get to keep all of the
money you've earned until then.
**[18:05] Was**
But pettily taking points between
all four players is uninteresting.
**[18:14] Was**
Tonight is a true duel between you and me.
**[18:20] guy**
The 200,000 is the difference between
**[18:22] guy**
your and Washizu-sama's points.
**[18:25] guy**
Should Washizu-sama finish
first and you finish last,
**[18:28] guy**
you could lose over half of the 200,000 points.
**[18:32] guy**
Like this, for example.
***SIGN*** 1st Place Washizu
***SIGN*** 4th Place Akagi
**[18:34] oka**
First, say Washizu-sama in first gets
a rank bonus of 20,000 points.
***SIGN*** Rank Bonus
**[18:40] oka**
Then the 1-3 rank bonus means another 30,000.
***SIGN*** Wager
**[18:43] oka**
Should he have any points
over 30,000 on hand,
**[18:47] oka**
let's say 10,000, those get
added, totaling 60,000.
***SIGN*** 1st Place Washizu
***SIGN*** 4th Place Akagi
**[18:51] oka**
The total is plus 60,000.
**[18:54] oka**
On the other hand, you in fourth place
would lose 30,000 for the wager.
***SIGN*** Wager
**[18:58] oka**
If your points on hand are less than
30,000, say a deficit of 20,000,
**[19:03] oka**
the total is minus 50,000.
**[19:05] oka**
The net difference between
your points would be 110,000.
***SIGN*** 110,000
**[19:09] oka**
Were that to happen twice, your
200,000 points would be gone in a flash.
**[19:15] was**
That's how it is.
**[19:26] yas**
The payments will be settled after each
East-South match, so six times, right?
**[19:30] was**
I forgot one important point.
**[19:34] was**
In this Washizu Mahjong duel,
there's something like a bonus.
**[19:40] was**
Hey!
**[19:42] suz**
If there is a direct hit on your opponent,
or if you get a tsumo win,
**[19:47] suz**
along with the points,
**[19:49] suz**
the equivalent amount of money or
blood will be transferred, as well.
**[19:54] suz**
The winner decides what
form of payment it will be.
**[19:58] suz**
For example, Washizu-sama gets a direct
mangan hit off of you for 8,000 points.
**[20:04] suz**
Then you'd lose 8,000 points and
**[20:09] suz**
800,000 yen in cash, or 80 CCs of blood.
**[20:16] suz**
It's the same with tsumo.
**[20:18] suz**
Suppose Washizu-sama wins
a mangan with tsumo.
**[20:22] suz**
If you're the dealer, you'd lose 400,000
yen in cash, or 40 CCs of blood.
**[20:28] oug**
What happens if Akagi wins?
**[20:30] suz**
Washizu-sama pays in cash, or returns
blood he's already won off of you.
**[20:35] suz**
You can decide which you
would like after you win.
**[20:40] Oug**
You can give him his blood back?
**[20:42] yas**
But this rule is only valid
between the two of you, right?
**[20:46] suz**
Of course.
**[20:47] suz**
No matter how many times you play
into the other two players' hands,
**[20:50] suz**
no matter how many points you lose,
**[20:52] suz**
points are the only thing that change hands.
**[20:55] was**
Well?
**[20:56] was**
Didn't that illustrate clearly how the duel
between Akagi-kun and myself is set up?
**[21:06] was**
It's actually quite interesting that
money or blood is transferred
**[21:12] was**
during the East-South match.
**[21:15] was**
If you happen to deal into a yakuman hand,
**[21:18] was**
it's possible that your life could end even
before the East-South match is over.
**[21:27] was**
Of course, this means you cannot
play with your regular composure.
**[21:33] was**
You'll start to shiver.
**[21:37] was**
With each tile, the deepest
core of your being will freeze
**[21:43] was**
and you'll really start shaking.
**[21:49] was**
I want to see that so badly that I have already
**[22:11] was**
killed many young men.
**[22:18] aka**
*He's tired of it.*
**[22:21] aka**
*He's tired of living.*
**[22:25] aka**
* Standing atop all his successes,*
* he's desperately alone.*
**[22:32] aka**
* His life of constant victories is*
* no longer enough to satisfy him.*
**[22:38] aka**
* No, it's more than that.*
* The poison of success has made him mad.*
**[22:47] aka**
* The mere fact that I am*
* young is unforgivable.*
**[22:51] aka**
* "It cannot be that you will live*
* longer than me, when I am so great!"*
**[23:10] was**
Bring it in!
**[23:18] was**
This is the tool that will draw out your blood.
**[23:27] was**
Each of these bottles holds 100 CCs.
**[23:32] was**
With twenty of these filled,
you will definitely die.
**[23:37] was**
You will be living an entire life's worth of
time in the few hours that are to come.
**[23:44] was**
You'll be stepping onto a path of
carnage from which there is no return.
**[23:53] aka**
There is one thing I would like changed.
**[23:59] was**
Changed?
**[24:02] aka**
It's not enough.
**[24:04] aka**
That rate won't destroy you.
**[24:09] aka**
I want the rate to be increased tenfold.
**[24:14] was**
You're telling me to make my
20 million yen into 200 million yen?
**[24:19] aka**
Yeah.
**[24:22] was**
Are you out of your mind?!
**[24:23] oug**
Akagi, that's a bit...
**[24:26] aka**
I've got no qualms with the fact that you
valued my punk life at 20 million yen.
**[24:30] aka**
My problem is that you are diluting
my life's value by equating it to
**[24:35] aka**
the inflated value of 200,000 points.
**[24:37] was**
What are you saying?
**[24:39] aka**
It's simple. Just make the
20 million yen worth 20,000 points.
**[24:47] aka**
Then you can be destroyed, too.
**[24:50] aka**
If I should win 50,000 points,
that would net me 500 million yen.
**[24:54] aka**
Then you're within reach.
Your destruction will be within reach.
**[24:59] was**
Are you stupid?
**[25:02] was**
I will not perish. Understand?
**[25:07] was**
How do you expect to survive
six East-South matches
**[25:14] was**
with only 20,000 points?
**[25:17] was**
The ranking bonus alone
is 10,000 and 30,000!
**[25:22] was**
If I'm ahead of you in a single match,
that alone gives me a rank bonus of 20,000,
**[25:27] was**
and you'll be dead.
**[25:31] was**
If you deal into two of my mangan hands,
that's 16,000 points. 1,600 CCs!
**[25:38] was**
How could you possibly survive
six East-South matches like that?
**[25:47] aka**
It wouldn't be really impossible.
**[25:49] was**
What?
**[25:51] aka**
First off,
**[25:53] aka**
if you don't set 20 million to correspond
to 20,000 points, it's pointless.
**[25:59] aka**
I wouldn't be able to achieve
tonight's primary goal,
**[26:03] aka**
which is killing you.
**[26:06] was**
What is wrong with him?
**[26:09] was**
Hey, Ougi, tell this brat
that this is not a game.
**[26:17] oug**
With all due respect, Washizu-sama,
**[26:20] oug**
the one who is misunderstanding
the nature of tonight's game is you.
**[26:25] was**
Misunderstanding?
**[26:27] oug**
We came here tonight for a genuine battle.
**[26:32] oug**
And Akagi is the strongest
assassin we could find.
**[26:39] was**
Ougi. You're serious, too?
**[26:46] was**
Who do you think I am?
**[26:49] was**
I could easily crush you.
**[26:55] yas**
Washizu-san, I don't think you're in
a position to be saying that anymore.
**[27:03] yas**
As you mentioned earlier,
**[27:06] yas**
many young men have fallen victim
to Washizu Mahjong and died
**[27:12] yas**
by having their blood
extracted with this device.
**[27:16] yas**
I've heard that you used quite a lot of
money to sweep this fact under the rug,
**[27:21] yas**
on us cops, too.
**[27:25] was**
You rotten cop.
**[27:29] yas**
And still, the assets remaining in this
mansion amount to 500 million yen.
**[27:34] yas**
I heard you've got it in cash in the safe.
**[27:39] oug**
Please bring the rest of your money out here.
**[27:44] oug**
The only wager proportional to Akagi's demise
**[27:46] oug**
is your own demise, Washizu-sama.
**[27:50] oug**
Please accept!
**[27:58] was**
Ougi,
**[28:01] was**
and what about you?
**[28:04] was**
I'm betting my entire fortune;
**[28:07] was**
this kid is betting enough blood to die,
**[28:12] was**
but you've got nothing to lose.
**[28:15] was**
I can't allow you to oversee this game
**[28:19] was**
if you're nothing but empty words.
**[28:21] was**
Your arm! Your arm!
**[28:26] was**
The moment the kid dies,
you lose one of your arms.
**[28:32] was**
You wager your arm.
**[28:36] oug**
I accept.
**[28:38] ---**
Ougi!
**[28:39] was**
Okamoto, get the money.
**[28:43] oka**
Washizu-sama, please remain calm.
**[28:46] oka**
Even for you, losing your
entire fortune would—
**[28:49] was**
I won't lose it!
**[28:53] was**
He only has 20,000 points
for six East-South matches.
**[28:59] was**
I need outrank him in only
one, and it's all over.
**[29:04] was**
There's not even the slightest
chance of me losing! Am I wrong?
**[29:13] oka**
It is as you say.
It's unthinkable that you would lose.
**[29:18] oka**
However...
**[29:19] was**
However?!
**[29:21] oka**
Even with that conviction,
I believe you need insurance.
**[29:25] oka**
What if you were to reduce the game
from six East-South matches to two?
**[29:31] oka**
Then there's no real chance that all
of the 500 million yen could be taken.
**[29:36] was**
If it's just two East-South matches,
he could survive it, too.
**[29:42] oka**
To prevent that, we could have a
rule where you alone can choose
**[29:49] oka**
to continue or stop the game
every two East-South matches.
**[29:54] suz**
That's right.
**[29:56] suz**
If at the end of two East-South matches,
**[29:58] suz**
you need only a tiny push to
kill him, you can keep going.
**[30:02] suz**
But if the game is not in your favor
and it is looking dangerous,
**[30:05] suz**
you can stop there.
**[30:08] oka**
A battle of this magnitude requires
this bare minimum of insurance.
**[30:15] suz**
Isn't this how you have built
up your entire bulletproof life?
**[30:21] suz**
Besides,
**[30:23] suz**
it was they who made the ridiculous
suggestion to raise the wager tenfold.
**[30:27] suz**
It is only natural for you
to get this privilege.
**[30:34] aka**
I don't mind.
**[30:38] aka**
Having that right or not doesn't change anything.
**[30:43] aka**
It's a pointless rule.
**[30:49] aka**
If anything, Washizu is digging his
own grave with this privilege.
**[30:58] aka**
It's a foolish condition that kills
his chance of winning.
**[31:07] was**
Bring the money.
**[31:10] man**
All right.
**[31:10] was**
My entire fortune of 500 million yen.
**[31:17] was**
Bring it here... right now!

Shall we begin?
**[32:01] nar**
No walls are built in Washizu Mahjong.
**[32:04] nar**
The dice are only used to
determine who is dealer.
**[32:09] nar**
Then, each player will take turns
drawing two tiles from a hole,
**[32:14] nar**
wearing leather gloves to prevent
feeling which tile is grabbed.
**[32:32] nar**
Once the starting hands are drawn,
**[32:33] nar**
the dealer will draw one more tile from the hole.
**[32:36] nar**
This is the dora indicator.
**[32:39] nar**
After this tile has been set
in its place, it begins.

**[34:10] was**
*You also need to be insane.*
**[34:14] was**
*So do you possess this madness, kid?*
**[34:31] was**
*Tenpai, huh?*
**[34:34] was**
*This means I'll get to test him early on.*
**[34:45] was**
*Riichi.*
**[34:46] oug**
*So the first riichi goes to Washizu.*
**[34:50] oug**
* But this isn't so terrifying.*
* His tenpai is plainly visible.*
**[34:56] oug**
* Being able to see this much*
* reduces the possible waits.*
**[35:00] oug**
* The 9 of circles, and 2 and 5*
* of bamboo are all known,*
**[35:06] oug**
* so that limits his wait*
* to three possibilities.*
**[35:11] oug**
*A 1 or 4 of characters wait,*
**[35:19] oug**
*a 1, 4, or 7 of bamboo wait,*
**[35:27] oug**
*or a 3 or 6 of bamboo wait.*
**[35:34] oug**
* But considering the 2 and 3*
* of characters in his discards,*
**[35:38] oug**
* I guess it's a 1, 4, or 7 of bamboo wait,*
* or a 3 or 6 of bamboo wait.*
**[35:43] oug**
*I'm pretty sure that's a safe assumption.*
**[35:49] oug**
*Akagi's in tenpai, too.*
**[35:52] oug**
* If he discards the 4 of characters,*
* he'll be in tenpai with a 4 or 7 of circles wait.*
**[35:56] oug**
*Usually you'd want to declare riichi with that,*
**[35:59] oug**
* but the 4 of characters is one of the few*
* tiles that Washizu may be waiting on.*
**[36:03] oug**
* On the other hand, discarding the 2 and 3*
* of characters could have been a trap*
**[36:09] oug**
*to lure out the 1 and 4 of characters.*
**[36:12] oug**
*His only choice is to play it safe.*
**[36:15] oug**
* Hey, don't be reckless. You can't take*
* the chance of dealing into his hand!*
**[36:32] oug**
*Yes. That's the ticket.*
**[36:56] nar**
Akagi plays it safe.
**[36:58] nar**
He discards the 5 and 6 of circles,
keeping the 4 of characters,
**[37:03] nar**
and is back in tenpai with a
3, 6, or 9 of characters wait.
**[37:23] aka**
*Ron.*
**[37:26] aka**
*Pinfu, one dora. 2,000.*
**[37:29] oug**
*Yes. That's good.*

**[37:36] oug**
*This is the best way.*
**[37:38] was**
How boring.
**[37:42] was**
You won't be able to survive
with that kind of play.
**[37:46] was**
You're going to die.
**[37:49] was**
If you had dealt that 4 of characters
in the seventh turn and
**[37:53] was**
declared riichi with the 4 or 7 of circles wait,
I would've dealt into your hand right away.
**[37:58] was**
With a mentanpin, ippatsu, and one dora,
***SIGN*** Mentanpin - Combines menzen (closed hand), tanyao (hand comprised of only 2-8), and pinfu (only sequences and a 2 or more sided wait)

you'd have a mangan.
**[38:03] was**
A haneman, if you got any reverse dora.
And you let it slip away.
**[38:08] was**
You let that go in order to get
**[38:11] was**
a pathetic 2,000 points from your partner.
**[38:15] oug**
He's wrong. It's just hindsight logic.
**[38:18] oug**
Don't let him get to you.
He's just trying to taunt you.
**[38:21] aka**
No, what he's saying is fundamentally true.
**[38:25] ougg**
Huh?
**[38:27] aKa**
It's not that simple, though.
**[38:32] aKa**
Geezer.
**[38:35] aKa**
You'll realize it soon enough. Bit by bit.

Akagi receives 2,000 points from Yasuoka,

After losing the previous hand,
his opening hand isn't good.

His draws are bad, too.

Akagi, on the other hand,
in only the fourth turn...
**[39:34] oug**
* One tile from tenpai, huh?*
* And in such a good shape, too.*
**[39:37] oug**

**[39:48] oug**
* It couldn't have been better.*

Ron.

Red dragon, one dora. 2,000.
**[40:30] oug**
Yes, consecutive wins. Good work, Akagi.
**[40:33] was**
You're not worth my time.
**[40:37] was**
Even if you wanted me
out of the dealer's spot,
**[40:41] was**
you took a mere 2,000 from that ideal hand?
**[40:46] was**
A bit longer and you could have been
in tenpai and declared riichi,

with the guarantee that your friend
would deal the red dragon!

You're trash!

All right, let me teach you
**[41:14] was**
the strongest weapon of Washizu Mahjong,
**[41:18] was**
the most effective way of playing it.
**[41:22] was**
Riichi.
**[41:26] oug**
*This one's rough.*
**[41:29] oug**
* With this many black tiles,*
* narrowing it down is hard.*
**[41:33] oug**

*Actually, it could be a chiitoitsu, too.*
***SIGN*** Chiitoitsu - Special yaku consisting of 7 pairs

You moron. There's no need to agonize.
**[41:48] was**
Thinking is a waste of time.
**[41:56] was**
Ron.
**[41:58] was**
Riichi, ippatsu, tanyao. The reverse dora is...
**[42:05] was**
One.
**[42:07] was**
Mangan.
**[42:09] was**
Understand now?
**[42:10] was**
The riichi and the instant
deal of the winning tile is
**[42:13] was**
one of the most powerful ways
to team up in Washizu Mahjong.
**[42:16] was**
Even with the cheapest hand,
a riichi ippatsu is worth two han.
**[42:21] was**
If a reverse dora is added,
it becomes a mangan.
**[42:25] was**
I'm 100% certain you've got no chance of
winning with that gutless playing style.
**[42:30] was**
There's nothing left for you but death.
**[42:36] oug**
Akagi, if that's how he wants to play,
you have no choice but to join him in the ring.
**[42:41] oug**
It has its dangers, but you have
to play along with this duel.
**[42:47] aka**
Don't be so hasty.
**[42:51] oug**
Akagi.
**[42:52] was**
Even if you're not spurned on
to go totally on the offensive,
**[42:56] was**
with this mangan,
**[42:57] was**
I'm 2,000 points ahead.
You have no choice but to attack.

*He's one tile from tenpai...*

*The problem is what comes next.*
**[43:58] oug**
* Huh? It looks like he could be in*
* tenpai, but he's not declaring riichi.*
**[44:04] oug**
*No tenpai, then?*
**[44:07] oug**
*No, not necessarily.*
**[44:11] oug**
* If he wants to do the instant riichi*
* combination win, it's possible*
**[44:15] oug**
* his underling doesn't have*
* his winning tile yet.*
**[44:18] oug**
*That's why he's still waiting.*
**[44:21] oug**
* We should think of his hand as*
* being in tenpai and play evasively.*
**[44:25] oug**
*He's in tenpai!*
**[44:27] oug**
* If he discards the 7 of bamboo,*
* his wait is for a 5 or 8 of characters.*
**[44:33] oug**
*But...*
**[44:36] oug**
*That's the worst! It's too risky!*
**[44:40] oug**
*The 7 of bamboo is what he's after!*
**[44:44] oug**
* It's near the dora and fits into*
* Washizu's hand. This must mean...*
**[44:50] oug**
*A 5 or 8 of bamboo wait that straddles the 6?*
**[44:58] oug**
* The 4 and 7 of bamboo are definitely*
* the most dangerous tiles.*
**[45:03] oug**
*He absolutely can't discard them.*
**[45:06] oug**
*He needs to hold on to that 7 of bamboo.*
**[45:09] oug**
*Keep it, and play it safe.*
**[45:11] oug**
* Discard the 7 and 9 of characters and wait*
* for something to connect to the 7 of bamboo.*
**[45:15] oug**
*That's the best route.*
**[45:26] oug**
*Are you crazy?! That's...*
**[45:54] oug**
*Why could he deal such a risky tile?*
**[45:58] oug**
*Did he somehow know that it was safe?*
**[46:17] oug**
*The 5 and the 8 of bamboo passed, too.*
**[46:20] oug**
* Does this mean we can assume that*
* 6 of bamboo, the dora, is his head?*
**[46:29] oug**
*Then his wait is for*
**[46:34] oug**
*the 5 or 8 of circles straddling the 6,*
**[46:40] oug**
*or...*
**[46:44] oug**
*the 4 or 7 of circles.*
**[46:48] oug**
*Those are basically the only options.*
**[46:57] oug**
*No way! Why the 5 of circles?!*
**[47:01] oug**
* He has to play it safe now.*
* Discarding it now would be reckless!*
**[47:06] oug**
*He has to give up.*
**[47:32] oug**
*What is he thinking?!*
**[47:35] was**
I see. I guess you're not completely worthless.
**[47:41] was**
So you do know how to play a little bit.
**[47:57] was**
It looks like you discovered
the second discard pile.
**[48:01] oug**
The second discard pile?
**[48:14] oug**
* What's he talking about? Why did*
* Akagi think that tile would pass?*
**[48:20] oug**
*What's the second discard pile?*
**[48:30] oug**
*I get it. Why didn't I notice that sooner?*
**[48:35] oug**
* If Washizu wants that riichi with the*
* immediate win, but isn't declaring riichi yet,*
**[48:42] oug**
*there can be only two reasons.*
**[48:45] oug**
* Either he's not in tenpai yet, or his*
* underling can't deal into his hand yet.*
**[48:52] oug**
*But I believe Washizu is in tenpai right now.*
**[48:56] oug**
* This means his underling*
* doesn't have his winning tile.*
**[49:00] oug**
* Seen another way, all of Washizu's*
* underling's tiles are safe tiles.*
**[49:05] oug**
*It really is a second discard pile.*
**[49:09] oug**
* Akagi used this knowledge to discard*
* the 7 of bamboo and 5 of circles.*
**[49:16] was**
You're a bold one.
**[49:21] was**
Even if they notice the second discard pile,
**[49:24] was**
they usually don't get so bold.
**[49:27] oug**
*That's a good point.*
**[49:29] oug**
*With Washizu, it's certainly possible*
**[49:31] oug**
* that the second discard pile,*
* with its visible tiles, is actually a trap.*
**[49:38] oug**
* But he didn't give that doubt*
* even a moment's thought.*
**[49:43] oug**
*That boldness is who Akagi is.*
**[49:48] oug**
*But how can he be so certain of himself?*
**[49:54] (Flashback) yas**
I hope Akagi's really here.
**[49:57] (Flashback) oug**
I heard there's a kid who keeps
winning and is raking it in.

**[50:03] (Flashback) oug**
But is he really that great?

Washizu is another monster. That's Akagi.

Even if a monster appeared who

The summer of Showa Year 40 (1965)...
**[00:16] Nar**
The match between Akagi and Washizu
that would later become legend
**[00:20] Nar**
in the Mahjong underworld.
**[00:24] Nar**
Washizu, the king of the underworld,
bet his entire fortune.
**[00:29] (Flashback) was**
Extract the blood.
**[00:32] Nar**
Akagi bet his own blood,
making this a life-or-death battle.
**[00:41] Nar**
It was the first blood-draw
in Washizu's vampire Mahjong.
**[00:46] (Flashback) Was**
Death generally starts creeping in once the body
**[00:53] (Flashback) Was**
loses about a third of its blood supply.
**[00:56] (Flashback) Was**
Usually the blood loss is
fatal before the 50% mark.
**[01:02] Nar**
In Akagi's case, the amount
of blood was 2,000 cc.
**[01:07] (Flashback) Was**
Each of these bottles holds 100 cc.
**[01:12] (Flashback) Was**
With twenty of these filled,
you will definitely die.

You'll be lucky to make it through two!
**[02:18] Yasu**
What's more important right now
**[02:20] Yasu**
is how he'll overturn the 14,000 point
gap between him and Washizu.
**[02:24] Aka**
He's right, Ougi-san.
**[02:28] oug**
True.
**[02:32] oug**
But if you're not ranked higher than Washizu
at the end of this East-South match,
**[02:38] oug**
just the ranking bonus of
20,000 will cost you 2,000 cc.
**[02:45] oug**
That's instant death. Everything will be over.
**[02:49] Yasu**
Why don't we keep a more positive outlook?
**[02:51] Yasu**
If Akagi gets a mangan,
**[02:54] Yasu**
he could get back the 400 cc
he just lost, right then and there.
**[02:59] Yasu**
Right, Akagi?
**[03:01] Was**
Laughable.
**[03:03] Was**
You requested this reckless rate of
20,000 points being worth 2,000 cc,
**[03:07] Was**
and you can't even get through this East round.
**[03:11] Was**
Already, your life hangs by a thread.
**[03:16] Was**
You do indeed have some talent,
**[03:19] Was**
but it amounts to no more than little tricks.
**[03:32] (Flashback) Was**
It looks like you discovered
the second discard pile.
**[03:36] Was**
In the darkness of Mahjong lurks a demon king,
**[03:39] Was**
and he appreciates my maturity and
elegance more than childish tricks.
**[03:46] Aka**
Old man.
**[03:48] Was**
What?
**[03:49] Aka**
Tell your demon king that
what I'm doing right now
**[03:54] Aka**
is feeding you hope.
**[03:57] Was**
Hope? To me?
**[04:01] Aka**
Yeah.
**[04:07] Aka**
You'll slowly come to see that.
**[04:10] Was**
I wonder how long you'll be
able to speak so brashly.
**[04:25] Aka**
Drop dead, heretic.
**[04:29] Aka**
You're someone nobody understands, like me.
**[04:33] Aka**
A lost madman.
***SIGN*** Episode 2
***SIGN*** Washizu Mahjong
**[04:46] Nar**
Washizu Mahjong.
**[04:50] Nar**
These are the tiles used.
**[04:55] Nar**
Three of the four tiles in each suit are transparent,
making their faces visible even from the back,
**[05:03] Nar**
and only one is a regular tile with a black back.
**[05:10] Nar**
No walls are built in Washizu Mahjong.
**[05:14] Nar**
Tiles for the starting hand and each draw are
taken from a hole in the middle of the table,
**[05:23] Nar**
wearing a leather glove on the right hand
to prevent feeling which tile is grabbed.
**[05:43] Nar**
Once the starting hands are drawn,
the dealer draws one more tile from the hole.
**[05:47] Nar**
This is the dora indicator.
**[05:52] Nar**
The same applies to reverse
dora and new dora from kan,
**[05:55] Nar**
which are drawn from the
hole when the need arises.
**[06:04] Nar**
If Akagi can survive through six East-South
matches with these rules, his side wins.
**[06:10] Nar**
Should he die before then,
**[06:14] Nar**
he will lose all that he had
amassed up to that point,
**[06:18] Nar**
and victory will go to Washizu's side.
***SIGN*** 1000 points = 1 million
**[06:22] Nar**
The rate is set at 1,000 points
being worth 1 million yen,
**[06:25] Nar**
or 100 cc of blood.
***SIGN*** 1,000 points = 100 cc of blood
**[06:29] Nar**
It's a one-on-one match
between Akagi and Washizu.
**[06:32] Nar**
At the end of each East-South match,
points are tallied up, including rank bonuses.
**[06:38] Nar**
Additionally, bonus payments
are due every time a direct hit
**[06:43] Nar**
or a tsumo win causes points to trade
hands between Akagi and Washizu.
**[06:49] Nar**
These payments are made
immediately, in cash or blood.
**[06:57] Nar**
This is the essence of Washizu Mahjong.
***SIGN*** Washizu Mahjong
***SIGN*** First Game
***SIGN*** South Hand 1
**[07:21] oug**
*He's 14,000 points behind Washizu.*
**[07:25] oug**
*Akagi may talk big, but that's the reality.*
**[07:31] oug**
* He may do some fancy footwork and*
* avoid playing into his opponent's hand,*
**[07:35] oug**
* but he can't stop him from*
* drawing a winning tile.*
**[07:38] oug**
*That's Mahjong.*
**[07:40] oug**
*Akagi, how are you going to play?*
**[07:45] Was**
What is this hand?
**[07:51] Was**
I've drawn this already?
**[07:58] Was**
* If I discard the 5 of characters, I'll be*
* in tenpai with a 2, 5 of circles wait.*
**[08:07] Was**
* If I win this one, I'll have a*
* mentanpin, sanshoku, with one dora.*
***SIGN*** Sanshoku - Same sequence (triplets) of all 3 suits.
**[08:15] Was**
*And he can play into my hand.*
**[08:18] Was**
* If I declare riichi, I'll have a*
* guaranteed ippatsu, and a haneman.*
***SIGN*** Ippatsu - Winning in the turn after declaring riichi.
**[08:22] Was**
* If I get even one reverse*
* dora, it'll be a baiman.*
***SIGN*** Baiman - Double mangan, worth 16,000 points (24,000 for the dealer).
**[08:29] Was**
*This is pointless.*
**[08:31] Was**
*This win will end it all.*
**[08:34] Was**
* The current gap of 14,000 points*
* between Akagi and me*
**[08:38] Was**
*will widen to 26,000, or even 30,000 points.*
**[08:44] Was**
*Reversing the situation will be impossible.*
**[08:46] Was**
*His death will be certain.*
**[08:50] Was**
I guess that's street kid Mahjong for you.
**[09:00] Was**
Riichi.
**[09:01] Aka**
Nope.
**[09:03] Aka**
Tanyao, one dora. 2,600.
**[09:08] Was**
A single wait for the 5 of characters?
**[09:12] Was**
Boy...
**[09:14] Was**
* He took the 5 of characters*
* that would naturally come out*
**[09:19] Was**
*if I were to go for a sanshoku.*
**[09:22] Was**
* The evidence was in the 6 of circles*
* he discarded just before.*
**[09:27] Was**
*Had he kept the 6 of circles in his hand,*
**[09:29] Was**
*his tenpai would have looked like this.*
**[09:32] Was**
*He would've had a 1, 4, 7, 6 of circles wait.*
**[09:36] Was**
*Yet he threw away that four-way wait*
**[09:39] Was**
*for this single 5 of characters wait.*
**[09:45] Was**
Pretty good.
**[09:48] Was**
Any other kind of play would be boring.
**[09:51] Was**
That's the least amount of
talent you need to have.
**[09:56] Was**
Fight back.
**[09:59] ---**
With everything you've got!
**[10:01] Was**
That very last shred of resistance when
I've got you backed into the corner,
**[10:07] Was**
for me, is the ultimate pleasure.
**[10:13] oug**
Akagi, you can get 260 cc of your blood back.
**[10:16] Aka**
No.
**[10:17] Aka**
Give me the money.
**[10:20] Aka**
It's fine. I want the money.
**[10:23] Was**
Akagi.
**[10:27] Was**
Don't come crying to me later.
***SIGN*** First Game
***SIGN*** South Hand 2
**[10:57] Yasu**
*Even though he got a win in,*
**[10:59] Yasu**
*if he finishes behind Washizu,*
**[11:01] Yasu**
* he'll lose over 2,000 cc of blood*
* when this East-South match ends.*
**[11:06] Yasu**
*That means instant death.*
**[11:09] Yasu**
* The fact that he's in an overwhelmingly*
* dangerous situation hasn't changed.*
**[11:13] Yasu**
*And yet...*
**[11:15] Aka**
Pon.
**[11:17] Yasu**
*How can he be so calm?*
**[11:22] Yasu**
* He needs to get Washizu out of*
* the dealer's seat in South Hand 2.*
**[11:27] Yasu**
* I can't imagine that he wouldn't know*
* how crucial that will be for this match.*
**[11:32] Yasu**
*So why isn't he being more greedy?*
**[11:36] Yasu**
*Why?*
**[11:53] Yasu**
*He's got two dora as his pair.*
**[11:57] Yasu**
*One away from tenpai.*
**[12:07] Yasu**
*But it looks like Washizu's got a fast hand, too.*
**[12:12] Yasu**
*Akagi? Or Washizu?*
**[12:15] Yasu**
*Who will be in tenpai first?*
**[12:26] Yasu**
*All right!*
**[12:27] Yasu**
*He's in tenpai with a 5, 8 of circles wait!*
**[12:33] Yasu**
*Looking at it from Washizu's perspective,*
**[12:38] Yasu**
*it's almost certain that Akagi's waits*
**[12:40] Yasu**
* are for the 5, 8 of circles,*
* or 2, 5 of bamboo.*
**[12:42] Yasu**
* None of his opponents will*
* ever deal into his hand.*
**[12:46] Yasu**
* He can only count on his*
* own draws or Yasuoka.*
**[12:51] Yasu**
*I guess he doesn't have it.*
**[12:58] Yasu**
*He's got it!*
**[13:05] Yasu**
*There it is!*
**[13:06] Yasu**
*He's playing right into his hand!*
**[13:13] Yasu**
*Why doesn't he take it?*
**[13:15] Yasu**
*Akagi?!*
**[13:16] Yasu**
*What's wrong?*
**[13:18] Nar**
At this time, Ougi can't see the
trap that is built into Akagi's hand.
**[13:24] Nar**
The curse that Akagi's tiles cast
on Washizu, binding him in place.
**[13:30] Nar**
From Washizu's perspective,
Akagi's wait can be
**[13:33] Nar**
either a 5, 8 of circles,
or 2, 5 of bamboo.
**[13:35] Nar**
Since one of those, the 8 of circles, passed,
only the 2 and 5 of bamboo remain.
**[13:42] Nar**
It's only natural that he would think that.
**[13:46] Nar**
That, however, is Akagi's trap.
**[13:52] oug**
*I see.*
**[13:54] oug**
* Washizu sees a 3 and 4 of bamboo,*
* but those are an illusion.*
**[14:00] oug**
* It's a trap to make him think*
* the wait is for 2 or 5 of bamboo.*
**[14:05] Nar**
Washizu is in tenpai,
but he is bound by this illusion.
**[14:13] Nar**
If he can discard either the 2 or 5 of bamboo,
**[14:15] Nar**
his underling can deal
into his hand right away.
**[14:19] Nar**
But these two are exactly the
vital tiles he cannot discard.
**[14:36] oug**
* In the end, he has no choice*
* but to play it safe.*
**[14:39] oug**
* The most definitive shackles that*
* only these clear tiles can create.*
**[14:43] oug**
* I guess Akagi still has*
* enough time to spare to*
**[14:47] oug**
*not have to win off Yasuoka right away.*
**[15:01] Aka**
Tsumo.
**[15:03] Aka**
Red dragon, west wind, two dora.
**[15:05] Aka**
Mangan.
**[15:08] Was**
You let his 8 of circles pass
so you could draw it yourself?
**[15:16] Was**
You little bastard.
**[15:19] oug**
*I get it.*
**[15:22] oug**
* If he had taken Yasuoka's tile,*
* he couldn't have caught up to Washizu.*
**[15:26] oug**
*But if he draws it himself,*
**[15:28] oug**
* the 4,000 coming from Washizu*
* are enough to cause an upset.*
**[15:31] oug**
*He's on top now, with a lead of 3,200 points.*
**[15:35] oug**
All right.
**[15:36] oug**
Now you're back in the lead.
**[15:38] oug**
Akagi, let's get 400 cc of blood back into—
**[15:40] Aka**
Give me the money.
**[15:58] oug**
Akagi, if you can survive two more hands,
you'll overcome this East-South match.
**[16:04] oug**
Then it'll be a new start.
**[16:07] oug**
You've just got to do this six more times.
**[16:10] oug**
I know you can do it.

Honestly...

Such a reckless brat.
**[16:52] Was**
* And yet, he's not just a common idiot*
* who rushes blindly to his own death.*
**[17:00] Was**
* This man is able to throw*

**[17:06] Was**
* An ordinary daredevil isn't*

*Advantages are just that tempting.*
**[17:25] Was**
* He could've had a guaranteed mangan*
* had he taken his friend's discard,*
**[17:31] Was**
*but he threw it away to bet on a tsumo.*
**[17:36] (Flashback) Aka**
Tsumo.
**[17:38] (Flashback) Aka**
Red dragon, west wind, two dora.
**[17:40] (Flashback) Aka**
Mangan.
**[17:42] Was**
* That is not something an ordinary*
* person would be capable of.*
**[17:47] Was**
*And he did it so effortlessly.*
**[17:51] Was**
* He's made from a different kind of stuff*
* than the punks I've killed before now.*
**[18:04] Was**
*But sometimes, even talent is meaningless.*
**[18:10] Was**
*That's the essence of Mahjong.*
**[18:38] Was**
*Tenpai.*
**[18:40] Was**
*A single wait for the 1 of circles.*
**[18:42] Was**
*This is interesting.*
**[18:45] Was**
*I could take this to a multi-sided wait,*
**[18:49] Was**
*but until then, I'll just wait on the 1 of circles.*
**[19:01] Was**
*It looks like his 1 of circles might come out.*
**[19:04] Was**
*If he goes into tenpai, he'll discard it.*
**[19:09] Was**
* This! This is what makes*
* Mahjong so intoxicating!*
**[19:18] oug**
* If he discards the 1 of circles,*
* he'll be in tenpai,*
**[19:21] oug**
*with a wait for the 1, 4, 7 of bamboo.*
**[19:25] oug**
*What will you do?*
**[19:27] oug**
*If you can make the 1 of circles pass,*
**[19:29] oug**
* Yasuoka can play into your hand*
* and you can secure your lead.*
**[19:33] oug**
* But it's entirely possible that*
* Washizu is waiting for that very tile.*
**[19:41] oug**
* Of course, he could also have*
* the 1 of circles as his pair,*
**[19:48] oug**
*and have a closed wait for the 4 of circles,*
**[19:54] oug**
*or a wait for the 3, 6 of circles.*
**[19:57] oug**
* Alternatively, he could*
* also not be in tenpai yet.*
**[20:02] oug**
*What are you going to do, Akagi?*
**[20:07] oug**
*He's playing it safe.*
**[20:09] Was**
That's right.
**[20:11] Was**
That's the kind of man you are.
**[20:14] Was**
I need you to be able to see
through this sort of ruse.
**[20:26] Was**
*But remember, even if you see what's going on,*
**[20:31] Was**
*still losing is what Mahjong is all about.*
**[20:44] Was**
*Look at that!*
**[20:45] Was**
*I drew the best possible tile.*
**[20:53] Was**
Riichi!
**[21:06] oug**
* He has a five-way wait on the*
* 2, 5, 8 or the 3, 6 of circles.*
**[21:10] oug**
*But as for Akagi...*
**[21:14] oug**
* He had to break up his hand to*
* avoid discarding the 1 of circles,*
**[21:18] oug**
*and is one tile from tenpai.*
**[21:24] Was**
You know, boy, our potential is
in completely different leagues.
**[21:30] Was**
By using tricks, you were finally
able to approach my realm,
**[21:34] Was**
but all I need to do is play normally
to stop you in your tracks.
**[21:42] Was**
Tsumo!
**[21:45] Was**
Riichi, ippatsu, tsumo, south wind, one dora.
**[21:52] Was**
And the reverse dora is...
**[21:55] Was**
There is no reverse dora,
but it's still a mangan.
**[22:00] Was**
Looks like I overtook you.
**[22:05] Was**
I've got you cornered, Akagi!
**[22:10] Oku**
There's also the bonus for the tsumo.

**[24:52] oug**
*We don't have much time now.*

**[27:18] oug**
*Is he going for a chiitoitsu?*
**[27:22] oug**
*That's right.*
**[27:23] oug**
* A dealer's chiitoitsu with*

**[27:26] oug**
* Even if Yasuoka deals into his hand,*
* it would be enough to cause an upset.*
**[27:30] oug**
* Also, from the opponent's*

*but that's absolutely impossible.*

* I know, because each suit*
* only has one opaque tile.*

*You simply cannot make pairs with those tiles.*
**[28:10] Was**
* In order for that to be*
* a chiitoitsu tenpai hand,*

**[28:20] Was**
*But that's already not possible.*
**[28:24] Was**
* I already have the opaque*
* dora tile in my hand.*
**[28:29] Was**
* His chiitoitsu is one tile*
* away from tenpai, at best.*
**[28:41] Was**
*Actually, it could be even worse.*
**[28:46] Was**
* It's obvious that your luck*
* is terrible this last hand.*
**[28:53] Was**
*If your hand was in, say, this configuration...*
**[29:01] Was**
* Then why would you hesitate in this*
* last hand, with your life on the line?*
**[29:11] (Flashback) Aka**
Pon.
**[29:13] Was**
*You'd take your partner's east wind and win*
**[29:16] Was**
*with the red dragon he's got ready for you.*
**[29:20] (Flashback) Aka**
East wind, red dragon, one dora.
**[29:22] (Flashback) Aka**
With 30 fu as dealer, and 3 han, that's 5,800.
**[29:27] Was**
* Right now, there's a*
* 6,800 point gap between us.*
**[29:31] Was**
*It wouldn't be enough to cause an upset,*
**[29:34] Was**
* but if he can stay dealer,*
* he could survive to continue the game.*
**[29:40] Was**
* In this desperate situation, it's obvious*
* that he wants to make a move.*
**[29:44] Was**
* Since he doesn't do that,*
* it means his hand is that bad.*
**[29:51] Was**
* No matter how you look at it,*
* I can get my last tile to tenpai faster.*
**[29:57] Was**
* On top of that, I can choose to go for either the*
* 5 of characters wait or the 3, 6 of circles wait.*
**[30:03] Was**
* My partner will be able to deal*
* into my hand either way.*
**[30:12] Was**
*I've won. It's all taken care of.*
**[30:22] Was**
*That means...*
**[30:32] Was**
* He can deal into this 2, 5, 8*
* of bamboo wait, as well.*
**[30:37] Was**
* Then I don't need this*
* closed 5, 6 of characters wait.*
**[30:43] Was**
* One away from tenpai with a 2, 5, 8 of bamboo*
* and a 3, 6 of circles wait is even stronger.*
**[31:22] Aka**
Pon.
**[31:30] Aka**
Pon.
**[31:39] Aka**
Pon.
**[31:43] Was**
Three calls, so quickly...
**[31:47] oug**
*So this is it.*
**[31:49] oug**
* Akagi was waiting all this time*
* to create this opportunity.*
**[31:54] oug**
* Because he knew he could call on the east wind,*
* red dragon, and 1 of characters anytime.*
**[31:59] oug**
*There are two reasons.*
**[32:02] oug**
* First, even if he couldn't*
* get into tenpai, he waited*
**[32:05] oug**
*for his hand to fill up with character tiles.*
**[32:08] oug**
* He waited until his hand*
* would look like he's in tenpai,*
**[32:12] oug**
*like this, to Washizu.*
**[32:14] oug**
*And the other,*
**[32:16] oug**
*very important reason...*
**[32:19] oug**
* Akagi was waiting to*
* discard this 4 of characters.*
**[32:25] Nar**
That's right.
**[32:27] Nar**
Calling east wind, red dragon, and 1 of
characters before discarding his 4 of characters
**[32:33] Nar**
and suggesting a honitsu tenpai hand
**[32:35] Nar**
would not have been a great threat to Washizu.
**[32:40] Nar**
He could have kept the 4 and 6 of characters
in his hand and simply waited for the 5.
**[32:46] Nar**
However...
**[32:53] Nar**
Once he broke up the closed wait
by discarding the 4 of characters,
**[32:57] Nar**
Akagi's three calls completely
changed the situation.
**[33:01] Nar**
Now he couldn't discard the 6 of characters.
**[33:06] Nar**
Only now could he actually
force Washizu to stop.
**[33:12] Nar**
Perfect calls.
**[33:14] Nar**
He put everything into this bluff.
**[33:17] oug**
* Now we'll have to see if this*
* will actually work on Washizu.*
**[33:22] Was**
*I see.*
**[33:24] Was**
* He was waiting for me to break up*
* my closed wait on the character tiles.*
**[33:29] Was**
*Don't think you've got me, though.*
**[33:34] Was**
* There's no doubt that the*
* luck's with me this hand.*
**[33:42] Was**
*Tenpai.*
**[33:46] Was**
*If this 6 of characters passes,*
**[33:49] Was**
*I'll be in tenpai, with a 2, 5, 8 of bamboo wait.*
**[33:53] Was**
*He has the 5 of bamboo,*
**[33:56] Was**
*so I could win right away.*
**[33:59] Was**
*With this 6 of characters, I win!*
**[34:02] Was**
* Normally, that configuration means*
* that this 6 of characters is his target.*
**[34:08] Was**
*I would never be able to discard it, but now,*
**[34:11] Was**
*the game's flow is on my side.*
**[34:14] Was**
* His tenpai is likely in a closed*
* wait for the 8 of characters.*
**[34:40] Was**
*No, no.*
**[34:42] Was**
*This is a bad habit of mine.*
**[34:44] Was**
*I always want to finish them off quickly.*
**[34:48] Was**
* He has a closed wait for the 8 of characters,*
* or possibly, he's not in tenpai.*
**[34:52] Was**
* I don't think he will win*
* from this 6 of characters,*
**[34:57] Was**
*and yet it's not 100% safe, either.*
**[35:06] Was**
* Which means there's no reason*
* to push myself to discard it.*
**[35:13] Nar**
He's right.
**[35:15] Nar**
It doesn't matter if Akagi is waiting for the 8,
**[35:21] Nar**
or for the 6, 9 of characters.
**[35:24] Nar**
There are very few of
those tiles left anyway.
**[35:29] Nar**
For starters, Suzuki has
many of them in his hand.
**[35:33] Nar**
Washizu has a 6 of characters
in his own hand,
**[35:39] Nar**
and a 9 of characters in the discard pile.
**[35:43] Nar**
And Akagi has two 6 of characters in his hand.
**[35:48] Nar**
Which means that whether Akagi is waiting
for an 8, or a 6, 9 of characters,
**[35:54] Nar**
there is only one 8 and one 9 left.
**[36:00] Nar**
That's it.
**[36:04] Was**
*There's no way he can draw them himself.*
**[36:08] Was**
*His tenpai is effectively dead.*
**[36:10] Was**
* There's no reason for me to*
* risk playing into his hand.*
**[36:19] Was**
* I can still be competitive, even if*
* I play it safe here and rebuild.*
**[36:30] Oug**
*He survived.*
**[36:33] Oug**
* Had he discarded the 6 of characters,*
* he probably would've been in tenpai.*
**[36:36] Oug**
* Then he could've won by having*
* his underling play into his hand.*
**[36:40] Oug**
*All of Akagi's waits are basically dead.*
**[36:42] Oug**
*I guess Akagi's bad luck was actually fortunate.*
**[36:45] Oug**
* Or maybe this can be attributed to the*
* reason Washizu's had a life of success.*
**[36:52] Oug**
* He used his ability to calculate and his*
* shrewdness to amass the world's riches.*
**[36:58] Oug**
*If Akagi really is in a honitsu tenpai,*
**[37:00] Oug**
* he'll never discard that*
* obvious 6 of characters.*
**[37:03] Oug**
*If there's a path to victory without any risk,*
**[37:07] Oug**
*that's definitely the route he'll choose.*
**[37:10] Oug**
*There's no way Washizu would play that now.*
**[37:21] Was**
*So he wasn't in tenpai?*
**[37:25] Oug**
* Good! Looks like luck is starting*
* to turn Akagi's way, too.*
**[37:30] Oug**
*I see.*
**[37:32] Oug**
*That was his aim from the start.*
**[37:34] Oug**
* If Washizu and Akagi had both*
* simply let their hands*
**[37:37] Oug**
* progress normally, Washizu*
* would have won the hand first.*
**[37:41] Oug**
* To win, Akagi had to force Washizu*
* to make a compromise somewhere.*
**[38:07] Was**
*What the hell is he doing?*
**[38:11] Was**
* There's no doubt that he's been*
* going for a honitsu up until now.*
**[38:15] Was**
* But now that he's thrown away the 7 of*
* characters and kept the 3 of circles,*
**[38:19] Was**
*that is no longer possible.*
**[38:21] Was**
*Which means...*
**[38:23] Was**
*a toitoi?*
**[38:25] Was**
*If that opaque tile is a 3 of circles,*
**[38:29] Was**
* he has a toitoi with east winds*
* and red dragons, for a mangan.*
**[38:42] Was**
*It's over.*
**[38:44] Was**
*If he's in tenpai,*
**[38:50] Was**
* the other will play into*
* his hand and it'll be over.*
**[38:59] Was**
*Of course.*
**[39:01] Was**
* You're not going to get a*
* toitoi hand that easily.*
**[39:18] Was**
*Luck is on my side this hand.*
**[39:30] Was**
*That's right.*
**[39:32] Was**
* Did you think you'd get your hands*
* on the last 3 of circles that easily?*
**[39:39] Was**
* While you're wasting time,*
* I'll be making my comeback.*
**[39:47] Was**
*Yes.*
**[39:48] Was**
*This will work.*
**[39:49] Was**
*Nice and easy.*
**[39:53] Was**
* Now I can have an ideal three-way*
* wait on the bamboo tiles.*
**[39:57] Was**
*I'll keep this.*
**[40:02] Was**
*The question is, which ones do I discard?*
**[40:12] Was**
*We're already on the 13th turn.*
**[40:15] Was**
*There aren't many draws left.*
**[40:18] Was**
* Then I should probably make*
* it a 5, 8 of characters wait*
**[40:22] Was**
*so Suzuki can deal into my hand right away.*
**[40:26] Was**
* I'd like to get rid of the*
* 5 and 6 of circles, but...*
**[40:35] Was**
*He's an odd kid.*
**[40:40] Was**
* His game of Mahjong's basically*
* on the verge of death,*
**[40:45] Was**
*yet it seems to be closely following mine.*
**[40:49] Was**
* It's positioned in a way that*
* restricts my movements again.*
**[40:54] Was**
* It may be that he's working*
* toward a toitoi hand*
**[41:01] Was**
*with a 2, 5 of circles wait, like this...*
**[41:06] Was**
*Or with a 1, 4 of circles wait, like this.*
**[41:13] Was**
* But since he already has a*
* 1 of circles in his discards,*
**[41:18] Was**
* he could have a closed*
* wait on the 4 of circles.*
**[41:23] Was**
* At any rate, he could also win with*
* just the east winds and red dragons.*
**[41:29] Was**
* For the dealer, a 40 fu,*
* 2 han hand is worth 3,900.*
**[41:36] Was**
* So even if he wins with a tsumo,*
* it wouldn't be enough to take the lead.*
**[41:41] Was**
*He'll just get to stay dealer.*
**[41:44] Was**
* But if I play into his hand,*
* it would be a different story.*
**[41:52] (Flashback) Aka**
Ron.
**[41:57] Was**
* If I deal into that 3,900 hand,*
* it would be enough to put him on top.*
**[42:03] Was**
* Which means discarding this 5 and 6*
* of circles would be reckless.*
**[42:12] Was**
*Wait.*
**[42:15] Was**
*That's right!*
**[42:17] Was**
*I can get Suzuki to test it out for me.*
**[42:22] Was**
*I'll have him deal the 5 of circles,*
**[42:25] Was**
*and if it passes, I can discard it, too.*
**[42:28] Was**
* He won't take over the lead*
* if Suzuki deals into his hand.*
**[42:33] Was**
*It won't be any skin off my nose.*
**[42:37] Was**
*This is the best way.*
**[43:10] Was**
*It went through.*
**[43:14] Was**
* So that means he's got a closed*
* wait for the 4 of circles,*
**[43:17] Was**
*or is possibly not even in tenpai.*
**[43:20] Was**
* Either way, seeing that he*
* can't win off my 5 of circles,*
**[43:25] Was**
*it's the end of the road for him.*
**[43:29] Was**
*I won!*
**[43:30] Was**
* Now I'll get the 5 of characters*
* from Suzuki and it'll be over!*
**[43:36] Was**
*This brat was no match for me, after all.*
**[43:40] Was**
*There is simply nobody who can defeat me!*
**[43:45] Aka**
Ron.
**[43:56] Aka**
That's a direct hit of 3,900 points.
**[43:58] Aka**
I'm back on top.
**[44:01] Was**
How could you ignore Suzuki's 5 of circles?
**[44:08] oug**
You did it, Akagi!
**[44:09] oug**
Now you can get all your blood back.
**[44:13] Aka**
The first game is over.
**[44:20] Was**
How could you ignore it?
**[44:29] Was**
* True, he could very well have predicted*
* that I'd discard the 5 of circles.*
**[44:36] Was**
* First, I discarded the 6 of circles*
* when my hand looked like this,*
**[44:42] Was**
*and then I discarded the 5 of circles.*
**[44:49] (Flashback) ---**
Ron.
**[44:51] Was**
*With Washizu Mahjong's clear tiles,*
**[44:55] Was**
*making such predictions isn't that difficult.*
**[45:00] Was**
*So he may have predicted*
**[45:02] Was**
* the sequence of Suzuki discarding*
* the 5 of circles after I discarded my 6*
**[45:06] Was**
* as paving the way for me to*
* discard the 5 of circles again,*
**[45:10] Was**
*and ignored Suzuki's 5 of circles based on that.*
**[45:18] Was**
*Still...*
**[45:22] Was**
* That's something you could say*
* only under normal circumstances.*
**[45:29] Was**
*This is different.*
**[45:32] Was**
* If I had won this hand,*
* he would have lost his life!*
**[45:37] Was**
*In those circumstances,*
**[45:39] Was**
* there's no way that he could*
* have ignored that 5 of circles!*
**[45:50] Was**
Do you not want to survive?
**[45:57] Aka**
Old man.
**[45:59] Was**
What?
**[46:01] Aka**
I don't want you forgetting
**[46:03] Aka**
my points.
**[46:06] Was**
Shit!
**[46:10] Nar**
Along with the points,
**[46:12] Nar**
Akagi collects 3.9 million yen from
the direct hit bonus off of Washizu,
**[46:17] Nar**
and the first game is over.
**[46:20] Nar**
Akagi is in first place with 38,500.
**[46:25] Nar**
Washizu is in second place with 37,500.

Akagi, calm down. You lost 600 cc

**[48:44] oug**
Then why don't you get it back?
**[48:46] oug**
The next East-South match will be hell!
**[48:48] yas**
He's right. It doesn't matter how
much money you have if you're dead.
**[48:52] yas**
It's just paper.
**[48:55] oug**
Listen! If Washizu wins
a mangan off you directly,
**[49:00] oug**
that's 8,000 points, 800 cc!
**[49:03] oug**
That'll be 1,400 cc altogether.

You'll be so dizzy,

**[01:18] oug**
It's something we can't even comprehend.
**[01:21] oug**
Why won't he take back his blood?
**[01:23] Yasu**
To us it's unfathomable,
**[01:25] Yasu**
but Akagi himself decided to do it this way.
**[01:30] Yasu**
That means it's probably necessary.
**[01:32] oug**
Necessary? What if he
takes a direct mangan hit?
**[01:36] oug**
That would be 1,400 cc.
**[01:38] oug**
He'd be on the verge of death!

If he gets that fierce wind, then what?
**[01:41] Yasu**
Fierce wind?
**[01:44] oug**
The fierce wind of pure luck.
**[01:46] oug**
If Washizu gets that, Akagi or not,
he won't be able to do anything.
**[01:51] oug**
It'll be over.
**[01:53] Yasu**
True...
**[01:57] Yasu**
There are times in Mahjong when
you just cannot be lucky at all.
**[02:03] oug**
Is he saying that he can still
get through it, despite that?
**[02:07] Aka**
No...
**[02:10] Aka**
Nobody can control luck.
**[02:13] oug**
Right?
**[02:14] Aka**
But that doesn't mean there are no options.
**[02:20] Aka**
Like fighting back against it,
no matter how bad your luck is.
**[02:27] Yasu**
You mean, trying to control even luck?
**[02:29] Aka**
No.
**[02:31] Aka**
If you're controlling it...
**[02:39] Aka**
It ceases to be luck.

*Akagi, are you really sure about this?*
**[03:06] oug**
* Right now, you're standing*
* on the edge of a cliff.*
**[03:11] oug**
* Since you say that nobody can control luck,*
* all we can do now is pray.*
**[03:18] oug**
* Pray that that fierce wind of*
* pure luck won't come to Washizu.*
**[03:28] Was**
Tsumo.
**[03:30] Was**
Tanyao, tsumo, two dora. Mangan.
**[03:32] oug**
*A mangan tsumo already.*
**[03:35] oug**
*Looks like luck is on Washizu's side.*
**[03:38] was**
Extract the blood!
**[04:00] Nar**
It's only East Hand 1,
**[04:02] Nar**
but Washizu has already gained
a 10,000 point lead on Akagi.
**[04:09] Nar**
Then, in East Hand 2,
his underling deals into his hand...
**[04:13] Was**
Ron.
**[04:17] Nar**
Then, in East Hand 3,
Washizu shuts out Akagi with a tsumo.
**[04:23] Was**
Tsumo.
**[04:28] Was**
Tsumo.
**[04:31] Was**
Tanpin tsumo.
**[04:32] Nar**
Washizu completely dominates the East round.
**[04:33] was**
Iipeikou, two dora. Haneman.
***SIGN*** Iipeikou - Double sequence in the same suit, e.g. 223344
**[04:38] nar**
The gap between him and Akagi has
now widened to 25,800 points.
**[04:44] Was**
Yes, yes, yes, yes! Let's draw
more blood! More blood!
**[04:48] Nar**
The two tsumo wins add up to 500 cc.
**[04:54] Nar**
Combined with the 600 cc lost in the
first game, that is a total of 1,100 cc.
**[05:00] Nar**
It is over half the lethal amount.
**[05:04] oug**
I told you so.
**[05:06] oug**
Luck is totally with the other side.
**[05:08] oug**
What is he going to do?
**[05:09] Yasu**
What do you mean by that?
**[05:14] oug**
*Akagi, what options do you think you have?*
**[05:18] Was**
Boy...
**[05:23] Was**
You're going to die at this rate.
**[05:38] Yasu**
*What are you going to do, Akagi?*
***SIGN*** Episode 3
***SIGN*** Washizu Mahjong
**[06:07] Nar**
Washizu Mahjong.
**[06:10] Nar**
These are the tiles used.
**[06:15] Nar**
Three of the four tiles in each suit are transparent,
making their faces visible even from the back,
**[06:23] Nar**
and only one is a regular tile with a black back.
**[06:30] Nar**
No walls are built in Washizu Mahjong.
**[06:34] Nar**
Tiles for the starting hand and each draw are
taken from a hole in the middle of the table,
**[06:43] Nar**
wearing a leather glove on the right hand
to prevent feeling which tile is grabbed.
**[07:03] Nar**
Once the starting hands are drawn,
the dealer draws one more tile from the hole.
**[07:08] Nar**
This is the dora indicator.
**[07:13] Nar**
The same applies to reverse
dora and new dora from kan,
**[07:18] Nar**
which are drawn from the
hole when the need arises.
**[07:24] Nar**
If Akagi can survive through six East-South
matches with these rules, his side wins.
**[07:31] Nar**
Should he die before then,
**[07:34] Nar**
he will lose all that he had
amassed up to that point,
**[07:38] Nar**
and victory will go to Washizu's side.
***SIGN*** 1000 points = 1 million
**[07:42] Nar**
The rate is set at 1,000 points
being worth 1 million yen,
**[07:45] Nar**
or 100 cc of blood.
***SIGN*** 1000 points = 100 cc of blood
**[07:49] Nar**
It's a one-on-one match
between Akagi and Washizu.
**[07:53] Nar**
At the end of each East-South match,
points are tallied up, including rank bonuses.
**[07:58] Nar**
Additionally, bonus payments
are due every time a direct hit
**[08:03] Nar**
or a tsumo win causes points to trade
hands between Akagi and Washizu.
**[08:09] Nar**
These payments are made
immediately, in cash or blood.
**[08:18] Nar**
This is the essence of Washizu Mahjong.

**[08:59] oug**
*This isn't an easy hand to read.*
**[09:11] Aka**
Ron.
**[09:15] Aka**
Tanpin, sanshoku, two dora.
**[09:17] Aka**
Haneman.
**[09:18] Nar**
Akagi is at 34,900 points
after this direct hit haneman.
**[09:24] Nar**
After Washizu coughed up
12,000 points, the point gap
**[09:27] Nar**
is now a mere 1,800 points.
**[09:29] oug**
Yes, you've closed the gap now!
**[09:33] oug**
Let's return all of the 1,100 cc
of blood you've lost!
**[09:37] Aka**
I don't need it.
**[09:39] oug**
Why not?!
**[09:40] yas**
Akagi!
**[09:42] Aka**
Don't make me repeat myself.
**[09:43] Aka**
Just give it all to me in money.
**[09:47] oug**
Akagi, are you in your right mind?
**[09:49] Yasu**
What are you talking about?
This is the time to replenish!
**[09:52] Aka**
You're still saying that?
**[09:55] oug**
Huh?
**[10:00] Aka**
This is where the abnormal is normal.
**[10:05] Aka**
I'm going to only grab money here, like a miser.

Only then can I

* Even if you managed to get luck*

**[10:43] oug**

**[10:47] oug**
* It doesn't change the fact*
* that you will die from that!*
**[10:54] oug**
*Stay away, fierce wind.*
**[11:04] oug**

**[11:23] AkaL**
Pinfu, tsumo, ittsuu, one dora.

**[11:25] AkaL**
Mangan.
**[11:27] oug**
Yes, you're back in the lead!
**[11:28] Nar**
With his mangan tsumo, Akagi gets
4,000 points from the dealer, Washizu.
**[11:34] Nar**
He takes the lead and the point
difference between them is now 10,200.
**[11:38] Nar**
For his bonus payment, he can either
choose 4 million yen from Washizu,
**[11:43] Nar**
or returning 400 cc of blood.

Throwing away 1,000 points
to block his win, huh?
**[12:56] oug**
Akagi, just one hand left.
**[12:59] oug**
The luck is entirely with you.
**[13:01] oug**
You managed to call it to your side.
**[13:04] Aka**
I wonder about that.
**[13:05] oug**
Huh?
**[13:07] oug**
But you've gotten these consecutive
wins and you're back in the lead.
**[13:09] Yasu**
He's right.
**[13:10] Yasu**
We need to keep at it and
stop them from winning.
**[13:12] Was**
You say you called my luck over to your side?

Who do you think I am?
**[13:22] Aka**
He's right.
**[13:24] oug**
Huh?
**[13:26] Aka**
Washizu is a man who built his life on winning.
**[13:30] Aka**
You won't call his luck away that easily.
**[13:37] oug**
Akagi...
**[13:40] Yasu**
Then what are you going to do?
**[13:45] Aka**
Just watch.
***SIGN*** Second Game
***SIGN*** South Hand 4
**[14:07] oug**
* There's a 9,200 point difference*
* between them in this last hand.*
**[14:12] oug**
* I doubt Akagi is going to*
* deal into Washizu's hand,*
**[14:15] oug**
* but what really scares me is*
* Washizu getting a mangan tsumo,*
**[14:19] oug**
* or Suzuki playing into his hand*
* and making it a haneman.*
**[14:23] oug**
*So long as that doesn't happen, Akagi can win.*
**[14:29] oug**
*It's so-so.*
**[14:31] oug**
*I can't say it's the best hand,*
**[14:32] oug**
* but depending on his draws,*
* he could win quickly.*
**[14:35] oug**
*The problem is Washizu.*
**[14:40] oug**
* He's got a lot of black tiles,*
* but his hand doesn't look good.*
**[14:43] oug**
*Looks like we basically have this.*
**[14:46] oug**
*You can do this, Akagi!*
**[14:50] oug**
*Huh? What's going on?*
**[14:53] oug**
*There's nothing particularly worrisome here.*
**[14:56] oug**
*That could barely be a mangan hand, let alone...*
**[15:02] oug**
*The dora is the west wind!*
**[15:04] oug**
* And since Washizu is the west player,*
* it's worth more for him now!*
**[15:08] oug**
* If he calls that, he's already*
* guaranteed a mangan.*
**[15:11] oug**
*And he might actually have more than one.*
**[15:13] oug**
*He might have a pair.*
**[15:16] oug**
* So how should we consider*
* this west wind in Akagi's hand?*
**[15:21] oug**
* If Washizu has two west winds,*
* then it's preventing a concealed triplet.*
**[15:26] oug**
*If he only has one,*
**[15:27] oug**
* then Akagi's holding on to*
* Washizu's single wait for a second.*
**[15:32] oug**
*Either way, one false move*
**[15:34] oug**
*with this west wind will end up costing his life.*
**[15:39] oug**
*He won't be able deal it so easily.*
**[15:44] oug**
*Does he have no choice but to keep it?*
**[15:47] oug**
* That extremely limits what*
* Akagi can do with his own hand.*
**[15:51] oug**
*This west wind is a real demon.*
**[15:55] oug**
*Maybe he should dump it as soon as possible.*
**[15:58] oug**
* But should Washizu already*
* have two west winds,*
**[16:02] oug**
*that would be the absolute worst move.*
**[16:04] oug**
* A folly that would allow Washizu*
* to call his own wind, and the dora.*
**[16:08] oug**
*It would be an irreversible error.*
**[16:10] oug**
*I can't imagine anything worse.*
**[16:13] oug**
*What are you going to do, Akagi?*
**[16:22] oug**
*Of course not.*
**[16:25] oug**
* There's no reason to discard the*
* west wind right off the bat.*
**[16:28] oug**
* It's not too late to discard the west wind*
* after he's observed Washizu for a while.*
**[16:35] Was**
Chi.
**[16:45] Was**
Pon!
**[16:46] oug**
*What?*
**[16:49] oug**
*This can't be...*
**[16:51] oug**
* In seconds, his hand turned into a green dragon*
* honitsu with two dora, worth five han.*
**[16:55] oug**
* It's entirely possible to take*
* the lead with a mangan tsumo.*
**[17:00] oug**
*There's no way...*
**[17:01] oug**
*I don't think he's in tenpai yet, but still...*
**[17:07] oug**
*Akagi can't discard that west wind now!*
**[17:10] oug**
*If he does and Washizu calls it,*
**[17:12] oug**
* he'd have a green dragon, west wind*
* honitsu with three dora. A haneman!*
**[17:17] oug**
*He wouldn't even need a tsumo.*
**[17:19] oug**
* Having Suzuki deal into his hand*
* would be enough to take the lead.*
**[17:23] oug**
*If that happens, Akagi will die.*
**[17:27] oug**
* From the starting hands, I was sure*
* we'd make an easy getaway, but now...*
**[17:32] oug**
* It's like he looked up and*
* death is right behind him.*
**[17:37] oug**
*How can you still be so calm?!*
**[17:44] (Flashback) Aka**
This is where the abnormal is normal.
**[17:53] (Flashback) oug**
To begin with, betting one's life on
a Mahjong game is already abnormal.
**[17:59] (Flashback) oug**
Which means that in this abnormal world,
**[18:02] (Flashback) oug**
the abnormal *is* normal.
**[18:04] (Flashback) oug**
That's the right instinct.
**[18:06] (Flashback) oug**
Is that why you can keep so calm?
**[18:08] (Flashback) Aka**
To continue playing in this
kind of extreme situation,
**[18:13] (Flashback) Aka**
being able to maintain your
concentration is your lifeline.
**[18:20] (Flashback) oug**
So thinking he's safe from a mangan hand
**[18:22] (Flashback) oug**
just because you had your blood
transfused back into you
**[18:24] (Flashback) oug**
was the wrong way of thinking, then.
**[18:28] (Flashback) aka**
That would mean one didn't mind
dealing into another's hand.
**[18:31] (Flashback) aka**
In which case, your determination
to read your opponents completely
**[18:35] (Flashback) aka**
in every situation would deteriorate.
**[18:37] (Flashback) oug**
I guess you're right.
**[18:39] (Flashback) oug**
You'd start saying "probably,"
**[18:41] (Flashback) oug**
and being satisfied with
90% certainty and a rough idea
**[18:45] (Flashback) oug**
of your opponent's hand.
**[18:47] (Flashback) oug**
Playing Mahjong like that leads to
failure at the most crucial moment.
**[18:52] (Flashback) oug**
Both foresight and determination deteriorate.
**[18:57] (Flashback) Aka**
Impurities will start to filter
into the thought process.
**[19:01] (Flashback) oug**
Impurities?
**[19:04] (Flashback) Aka**
Fear.
**[19:06] (Flashback) oug**
Fear?
**[19:08] (Flashback) Aka**
If you relax even for a moment,
it will make its way in.
**[19:12] (Flashback) Aka**
Fear herds people towards the easier path,
**[19:19] (Flashback) Aka**
and then devours them.
**[19:25] oug**
*I knew that, and yet,*
**[19:27] oug**
* I was naïve enough to consider*
* transferring his blood back.*
**[19:31] oug**
*A heart that pursues safety is a demon.*
**[19:37] oug**
* Pursuing safety and finding a temporary*
* haven will relax your mind for a while.*
**[19:43] oug**
*This relaxation is what's bad.*
**[19:47] oug**
*In fact, since I was so certain of Akagi's victory,*
**[19:51] oug**
*this predicament has me all the more shaken.*
**[19:56] oug**
*On this point, Akagi's composure is unwavering.*
**[20:01] oug**
* He's most likely not making any*
* shallow reads of Washizu's hand.*
**[20:06] oug**
*Yes or no.*
**[20:09] oug**
*Black or white...*
**[20:15] oug**
*Wait a second.*
**[20:17] oug**
* Since Akagi didn't discard that west*
* wind, and kept it in his hand...*
**[20:24] oug**
* That means he assumes Washizu has*
* not just one, but two west winds?!*
**[20:33] oug**
*Oh, no!*
**[20:34] oug**
*That's terrible!*
**[20:36] oug**
*He no longer needs a tsumo to take the lead.*
**[20:38] oug**
*He's all clear for a haneman!*
**[20:40] oug**
*Which means...*
**[20:41] oug**
*annihilation!*
**[20:49] Was**
*All right.*
**[20:51] Was**
*I've got you now.*
**[20:53] Was**
*One more step and I'll kill you.*
**[20:56] Was**
*Boy...*
**[20:58] Was**
*Tremble before me.*
**[21:08] oug**
*His hand advanced again.*
**[21:14] Was**
Pon.
**[21:17] oug**
*And again...*
**[21:26] oug**
*Now he's discarding circles.*
**[21:29] oug**
*It's no use.*
**[21:30] oug**
* At this rate, we won't even*
* last until Akagi's next draw.*
**[21:34] oug**
*If Suzuki draws a west wind now, it's all over.*
**[21:41] oug**
*Please, no...*
**[21:52] oug**
*We've survived.*
**[21:59] oug**
*But it's still hopeless.*
**[22:03] oug**
*If Akagi was at least in tenpai,*
**[22:06] oug**
* he might be able to sneak through*
* without discarding the west wind.*
**[22:09] oug**
*But he's still two tiles from tenpai.*
**[22:12] oug**
* And he's still working on*
* getting rid of his honor tiles.*
**[22:15] oug**
*We'll have to rely on Yasuoka for this one.*
**[22:20] oug**
*Yasuoka's also two tiles from tenpai.*
**[22:26] oug**
*Is praying all we can do?*
**[22:29] oug**
* Pray that our opponent keeps*
* drawing useless tiles?*
**[22:50] oug**
*He'll die.*
**[22:52] oug**
* One misstep and that*
* west wind will end it all.*
**[22:56] oug**
*Akagi's going to be killed.*
**[23:06] Nar**
At this point of the game,
the west wind Suzuki drew
**[23:10] Nar**
was like a weapon threatening
to take Akagi's life.
**[23:15] Nar**
Should Washizu have a tenpai hand like this,
**[23:20] Nar**
he could have Suzuki discard the west wind...
**[23:24] (Flashback) was**
Pon.
**[23:24] nar**
...then switch to a naked wait,
**[23:27] nar**
and have Suzuki immediately
play that tile into his hand again.
**[23:33] (Flashback) Was**
Ron.
**[23:38] Nar**
With this,
**[23:39] Nar**
he'd have a green dragon, west wind
honitsu with three dora. A haneman.
**[23:43] Nar**
His hand may also like this.
**[23:48] Nar**
With a chanta tenpai, he would have
once again called on the west wind...
***SIGN*** Chanta - Hand with a terminal (1 or 9) or honor tile in each set.
**[23:54] (Flashback) Was**
Pon.
**[23:56] Nar**
...then switch to a naked

**[24:02] Nar**
and have Suzuki deal it into his hand.
**[24:05] (Flashback) Was**
Ron.
**[24:10] Nar**
That would be a green dragon, west wind
chanta with three dora, a haneman.
**[24:15] Nar**
He would retake the lead.
**[24:18] oug**
*If the west wind comes out now,*
**[24:21] oug**

We're saved.
**[25:01] ---**
*All right.*
**[25:02] oug**
*Now is the time to get rid of your west wind.*
**[25:05] oug**

**[25:24] oug**
*If you wait another turn,*

**[25:32] oug**
*but his hand looked like this instead...*
**[25:37] oug**
*If he draws the 7 of bamboo,*
**[25:38] oug**
* he can switch to a double pon wait*
* for the west wind and 7 of bamboo.*
**[25:42] oug**
* Once that happens, you won't be able*
* to discard the west wind anymore.*
**[25:45] oug**
* With a green dragon, west wind,*
* three dora direct hit, he'd take the lead.*
**[25:49] oug**
*There's no way you could discard it.*
**[25:51] oug**
*If you think of that,*
**[25:53] oug**
* wasn't this your only opportunity*
* to get rid of the west wind?*
**[25:56] oug**
*So why didn't you?*
**[26:00] oug**
*Wait.*
**[26:03] oug**
*Is it possible that Akagi thinks*
**[26:05] oug**
*Washizu has a single wait on a dora?*
**[26:08] oug**
*Is that why he won't discard his west wind?*
**[26:21] (Flashback) Was**
Ron.
**[26:23] (Flashback) Was**
Green dragon honitsu, two dora.
**[26:25] (Flashback) Was**
Mangan.
**[26:28] oug**
*There's a 9,200 point gap between them.*
**[26:31] oug**
*A tile dealt by his underling won't be enough.*
**[26:34] oug**
* But Akagi, if you play into his*
* hand, it's a different story.*
**[26:39] oug**
* You'd be easily overtaken and*
* end up 6,800 points behind.*
**[26:44] oug**
*Is that why you're wavering?*
**[26:55] oug**
* Tenpai, an iipeikou hand with*
* a closed 2 of characters wait.*
**[26:59] oug**
*But to get there, he needs to discard it.*
**[27:03] oug**
*Akagi is wavering.*
**[27:06] oug**
* He's wavering on the chance that Washizu*
* is waiting on that single west wind.*
**[27:10] oug**
*If he has a single west wind wait,*
**[27:11] oug**
* he'll have a green dragon honitsu*
* with two dora, a mangan.*
**[27:14] oug**
*He would overturn Akagi's lead.*
**[27:16] oug**
*It's not a tile he can discard.*
**[27:18] oug**
* But if Washizu has two west winds*
* and is waiting on something else,*
**[27:24] oug**
* keeping the west wind in his hand will*
* cause a fatal stall in Akagi's game.*
**[27:28] oug**
*If Akagi doesn't get into tenpai soon,*
**[27:30] oug**
*he'll lose even that faint chance he has now.*
**[27:34] oug**
*Is it a single wait? A pair?*
**[27:36] oug**
*Will he discard it? Will he keep it?*
**[27:38] oug**
*Which will it be?*
**[27:39] oug**
*Akagi!*
**[27:56] Was**
That's just fine.
**[28:04] Was**
Relax.
**[28:10] oug**
*Say what you want.*
**[28:11] oug**
*Discarding that west wind here was huge.*
**[28:15] oug**
*And now he's in tenpai.*
**[28:17] oug**
* Iipeikou, with a closed wait*
* on the 2 of characters.*
**[28:19] oug**
*Getting it from Yasuoka would work.*
**[28:21] oug**
* Now it's just a question of*
* who gets the tile faster.*
**[28:25] Nar**
Of course, Washizu is currently in tenpai.
**[28:29] Nar**
It just happened to be that the tile he
was waiting for was a 2 of characters.
**[28:34] Nar**
The same wait as Akagi's.
**[28:36] Nar**
At first glance, it might seem like their
chances of winning are the same,
**[28:42] Nar**
but that couldn't be further from the truth.
**[28:45] Nar**
Akagi can only win with this 2 of characters,
**[28:50] Nar**
but Washizu can use either that or the dora,
the west wind, to change his hand.
**[28:56] Nar**
If his underling deals into his hand right away,
**[28:58] Nar**
his hand's potential increases.
**[29:00] Nar**
For instance, if he draws the 1 of characters
**[29:03] Nar**
and changes his wait to this double pon wait,
**[29:06] Nar**
he can win by Suzuki dealing
the west wind into his hand.
**[29:11] (Flashback) Was**
Ron.
**[29:12] Nar**
Alternatively,
**[29:14] Nar**
if Suzuki draws that 1 of characters...
**[29:18] (Flashback) was**
Pon.
**[29:20] nar**
He can just call the west wind and then
have Suzuki deal that into his hand.
**[29:26] (Flashback) Was**
Ron.
**[29:30] Nar**
Either would be enough for
the haneman upset with the
**[29:33] Nar**
green dragon, west wind
chanta, with three dora.
**[29:36] Nar**
On top of that, if you stick with the
situation where Washizu calls the west wind,
**[29:43] Nar**
then if Washizu draws any honor or circle
tiles near the ones in Suzuki's hand,
**[29:49] Nar**
he can win from those, too.
**[29:53] Nar**
Basically, once he draws one,
**[29:56] Nar**
he can keep it in his hand
and discard a character tile.
**[30:01] Nar**
Then he just has to call Suzuki's west wind
**[30:04] Nar**
and have Suzuki deal into his single wait.
**[30:09] Nar**
That will become the haneman
hand that will overtake Akagi.
**[30:15] Nar**
Under the premise that he calls the
west wind for this haneman win,
**[30:21] Nar**
Washizu has a total of eight
different tiles he can wait on.
**[30:24] Nar**
On the other hand, Akagi only has one.
**[30:27] Nar**
Only this closed 2 of characters.
**[30:30] Nar**
Akagi is at a huge disadvantage.
**[30:37] oug**
*This is a chance to change his hand!*
**[30:39] oug**
*What will he do?*
**[30:41] oug**
* Will he stick with his closed*
* wait for the 2 of characters?*
**[30:46] oug**
* Or discard the 3 of characters to*
* get a 1, 4, 7 of characters wait?*
**[30:54] oug**
* Or discard the 1 of characters*
* to get a 3, 6 of characters wait?*
**[30:59] oug**
*No matter what he does,*
**[31:01] oug**
* Yasuoka doesn't have the*
* winning tile to give him.*
**[31:04] oug**
So he should discard the 3 of characters,
**[31:07] oug**
and go for the more favorable
1, 4, 7 of characters wait?
**[31:10] oug**
* Or will he stick with his closed wait*
* for the 2 of characters and the iipeikou*
**[31:14] oug**
*that doesn't require declaring riichi?*
**[31:18] oug**
* In any case, he should just*
* stay in tenpai for now.*
**[31:28] Aka**
Riichi.
**[31:30] oug**
*No!*
**[31:31] oug**
*Why would he declare riichi now?!*
**[31:35] oug**
*Just by putting down a riichi wager,*
**[31:38] oug**
* the gap between him and Washizu*
* is decreased by 2,000 points.*
**[31:41] oug**
*It'll shrink from 9,200 points to just 7,200.*
**[31:46] oug**
* If he does that, Washizu only needs*
* the 8,000 points from a mangan*
**[31:50] oug**
*to win with a tile dealt by Suzuki.*
**[31:53] oug**
* He gave up the restriction requiring*
* 12,000 points for a haneman hand.*
**[31:57] oug**
*That is a bad idea, any way you look at it.*
**[32:01] Yasu**
*A riichi right now makes no sense.*
**[32:05] Yasu**
*Surely you must have worked that out already?*
**[32:10] oug**
* It'd be one thing if he had*
* discarded the 3 of characters*
**[32:13] oug**
*for a 1, 4, 7 of characters wait,*
**[32:15] oug**
*but waiting for the 3 and 6 of characters?*
**[32:18] oug**
*That's the worst choice he could have made.*
**[32:21] oug**
*Akagi!*
**[32:23] oug**
*This is abnormal.*
**[32:25] (Flashback) Aka**
This is where the abnormal is normal.
**[32:29] oug**
*Akagi, don't tell me...*
**[32:33] oug**
* Did you have some kind of premonition*
* in this extreme, abnormal situation?*
**[32:37] oug**
*You think Yasuoka is going to draw a 3 or 6?*
**[32:42] oug**
* If that's your reasoning, I can sort*
* of buy it, but could that really...*
**[32:48] oug**
*Is Yasuoka really going to draw it?*
**[33:18] Was**
You've dug your own grave, Akagi.
**[33:23] Was**
Since you declared riichi, I thought the
cop would deal straight into your hand.
**[33:30] Was**
But that is not the case,
**[33:34] Was**
so what does this mean?
**[33:38] Was**
You buckled under the pressure of the match,
**[33:40] Was**
and stumbled for me on your own accord?
**[33:45] Was**
With that riichi wager, our point
difference is now 7,200 points.
**[33:51] Was**
If Suzuki deals into my hand,
a mangan will be enough.
**[33:55] Was**
If I get a tsumo, a 5,200 point hand
**[33:58] Was**
plus the 2,600 points
I'd get from you as dealer
**[34:01] Was**
would give me the lead.
**[34:03] Was**
My advantage over you was just
too much, too overwhelming.
**[34:08] Was**
Maybe you thought I would end
the match in the next turn,
**[34:12] Was**
so you decided to make it all or nothing.
**[34:17] Was**
You figured that if you'll die anyway,
**[34:19] Was**
you wanted to die while
running towards victory,
**[34:23] Was**
so you wagered your last
ray of hope on that riichi.
**[34:30] Was**
But that riichi actually opened the final door.
**[34:38] Was**
The door that will drag you to your death...
**[34:43] Was**
The door to hell.
**[34:52] Was**
Pon.
**[34:53] Was**
*I no longer need a haneman.*
**[34:56] Was**
* A mangan with the green dragon,*
* west wind, and three dora will suffice.*
**[35:02] Was**
*This decides it.*
**[35:04] Was**
*Now I win.*
**[35:10] oug**
*No!*
**[35:11] oug**
*If he deals into his hand, it's over!*
**[35:21] Was**
I won.
**[35:23] Aka**
Ron.
**[35:26] Aka**
Too bad.
**[35:28] Aka**
It's a head bump.
**[35:37] Was**
A 3, 6 of characters wait?
**[35:41] Was**
With that hand, you could have
**[35:43] Was**
stayed with the closed wait for the
2 of characters, for an iipeikou.
**[35:47] Was**
Or a 1, 4, 7 of characters wait would
have given you more possibilities.
**[35:52] Was**
Yet you chose the 3, 6 of characters wait?
**[35:59] Aka**
You were getting all worried,
so you tried to force an ending.
**[36:04] Aka**
If you'd waited another two or
three turns, you could've won.
**[36:06] Aka**
What are you scared of?
**[36:10] Aka**
You're actually quite the
coward, Washizu Iwao.
**[36:19] Was**
Boy...
**[36:25] Nar**
The second game is over.
**[36:28] Nar**
Akagi seemed to be in a tight spot,
but at the end, he has 43,200 points.
**[36:35] Nar**
Washizu has 32,700 points.
**[36:39] Nar**
Akagi wins again, by a margin
of over 10,000 points.

**[37:18] Yasu**
You're sure you don't want your blood back?
**[37:19] Aka**
Stop nagging me.
**[37:21] Yasu**
Whoa, hold on.
**[37:24] Yasu**
Akagi, why? Why do you insist
on refusing the transfusion?
**[37:29] Yasu**
Doing that won't benefit you at all.
**[37:33] Aka**
That's not entirely true.
**[37:35] Yasu**
Huh?
**[37:37] Aka**
That last hand, for example.
**[37:39] Aka**
Not returning any of my blood
is what led me to victory.
**[37:44] Yasu**
Led you?
**[37:47] Aka**
Yeah.
**[37:49] Aka**
This last hand, my starting tiles were horrible.
**[37:53] Aka**
That was because there was one tile
among them I could never discard...
**[37:59] Aka**
This west wind.
**[38:02] Aka**
Not only was it the dora,
it was also Washizu's wind.
**[38:06] Aka**
That one tile froze my entire hand.
**[38:09] Aka**
The possible wins were extremely limited.
**[38:13] Aka**
It wasn't something I could
solve on my own power.
**[38:17] Aka**
I needed Washizu to make a mistake.
**[38:19] Yasu**
A mistake?
**[38:21] Aka**
Yeah.
**[38:24] Aka**
Well, the calls he made weren't a big problem,
**[38:30] Aka**
but after his 1 of circles
pon in the seventh turn,
**[38:34] Aka**
he discarded a 3 of circles,
an obvious mistake.
**[38:38] (Flashback) Was**
Pon.
**[38:39] Aka**
Washizu called on this 1 of
circles to get into tenpai,
**[38:44] Aka**
but instead of this chanta with limited waits,
**[38:46] Aka**
keeping the 1 of circles pair and
the 3 of circles to go for a honitsu
**[38:50] Aka**
would've given him a much
higher chance of winning.
**[38:54] Aka**
That was a bad move.
**[38:56] Aka**
There was no need to rush,
but he ended up rushing anyway.
**[39:01] Aka**
He prioritized his current
hand over everything else.
**[39:06] Aka**
In the end, he was being pressured by
**[39:11] Aka**
my refusal to transfuse blood.
**[39:14] Yasu**
I see.
**[39:17] Aka**
As a result, that mistake came to be.
**[39:20] Aka**
His rushing is what gave me a chance.
**[39:26] Aka**
It gave me a chance to discard the west
wind that I couldn't discard until then.
**[39:32] Aka**
That one discard made my
hand start to progress.
**[39:39] Aka**
His trump card, the west wind, lost its power,
**[39:43] Aka**
and instead, mine gained power.
**[39:48] Aka**
After that, it clouded Washizu's eyes.
**[39:50] Aka**
It became an imaginary force.
**[39:53] Yasu**
An imaginary force?
**[39:56] Yasu**
You just happened to have a
west wind that you couldn't discard.
**[40:01] oug**
Wait a second.
**[40:02] oug**
I also have a few questions
about that west wind.
**[40:05] oug**
I'll start from the top.
**[40:07] oug**
First, tell me about the west wind
dora you had in your starting hand.
**[40:11] oug**
Obviously you knew Washizu had
one dora west wind in his hand.
**[40:15] oug**
It was a dora and also his wind,
so of course it was difficult to discard.
**[40:23] oug**
On top of that, if Washizu already
had a pair of west winds,
**[40:27] oug**
the moment he called it, he'd have a mangan.
**[40:30] oug**
Of course you couldn't discard it.
**[40:35] oug**
On the other hand, if he only had one,
**[40:38] oug**
you should have discarded it before
**[40:40] oug**
he had a chance to collect any more.
**[40:42] oug**
You talk about it like you were already
certain he had a pair of west winds.
**[40:46] oug**
How could you have known that?
**[40:48] oug**
We're talking about the starting hands,
before anyone had discarded anything.
**[40:52] ---**
Ougi-san.
**[40:55] Aka**
He had already discarded many tiles.
**[40:58] oug**
What?
**[41:00] Aka**
I had two East-South matches'
**[41:02] Aka**
worth of tiles to figure out his discard patterns.
**[41:06] Aka**
You can actually see quite a lot,
even if that's just that
**[41:09] Aka**
there will be some rough waters ahead.
**[41:14] Aka**
Taking into account that feeling,
Washizu's own luck,
**[41:19] Aka**
and his natural ability at winning,
**[41:22] Aka**
I knew this last hand wouldn't
end without a fight.
**[41:27] Aka**
With that in mind, I wasn't surprised
that the dora was his wind.
**[41:40] Aka**
Washizu had one of those tiles, and I
got one of them in my starting hand.
**[41:46] Aka**
Which means Washizu had luck, and I did not.
**[41:51] Aka**
This was no mere coincidence.
**[41:54] Aka**
The heavens literally sent
this tile to help Washizu win.
**[42:01] Aka**
Had the hand progressed normally,
**[42:07] Aka**
Washizu would have won.
**[42:12] Aka**
Had I discarded it and had he
called on it, he'd have a mangan.
**[42:14] Aka**
There was nothing more to do.
**[42:15] Aka**
Still, if I just held on to it,
**[42:18] Aka**
I wouldn't be able to move. It'd be my death.
**[42:21] Aka**
My only hope for escape was
a misstep from Washizu.
**[42:28] (Flashback) Was**
Chi.
**[42:30] (Flashback) Was**
Pon!
**[42:30] Aka**
Like what happened.
**[42:31] Aka**
Being in tenpai sounds great, but calling
too many tiles restricted his hand.
**[42:32] (Flashback) ---**
Pon.
**[42:36] Aka**
I had no choice but to wait until
he couldn't move any further,
**[42:39] Aka**
and then to discard it.
**[42:41] Aka**
Just discarding it wasn't enough.
**[42:43] Aka**
I needed to set up the situation to discard it.
**[42:47] Aka**
If I screwed up the order, it was over.
**[42:53] Oug**
Wait.
**[42:54] Oug**
If you knew he had a pair of
west winds, that makes no sense.
**[42:58] Oug**
When Suzuki discarded a west wind,
Washizu didn't call on it,
**[43:01] Oug**
so why didn't you discard it right then?
**[43:15] Oug**
In that situation, giving Washizu a tile
to call could've been unavoidable.
**[43:19] Oug**
So shouldn't you have
discarded the west wind?
**[43:22] Oug**
Washizu's next draw could
have let him switch to a
**[43:24] Oug**
double pon wait for the
west wind and anything else.
**[43:27] Oug**
At that point, you couldn't have
discarded the west wind.
**[43:30] Oug**
So shouldn't you have just discarded it up-front?
**[43:34] Oug**
I don't understand why you
didn't get rid of it then...
**[43:37] Oug**
The only way I could rationalize you not
discarding the west wind at that point
**[43:42] Oug**
was that you were worried you'd
be dealing into a mangan hand.
**[43:46] Aka**
Right.
**[43:47] Aka**
That's what I wanted Washizu to think.
**[43:50] Aka**
I wanted to create that illusion.
**[43:53] yas**
The imaginary force...
**[43:58] Aka**
If I'd hesitated,
**[43:59] Aka**
he could've gone to a double pon
wait, one being the west wind.
**[44:02] Aka**
I needed to accept the risk
of that additional turn.
**[44:05] Aka**
Otherwise, all my later moves
would have borne no fruit.
**[44:12] Oug**
So I guess I bought into that illusion, too.
**[44:17] Aka**
I deliberately played as if I was hesitating.
**[44:22] Aka**
Ougi-san, those who can see get to choose.
**[44:27] Aka**
Just by discarding a tile one turn
later, you can take full control.
**[44:32] Aka**
If luck isn't with you, that's all you can do.
**[44:38] Oug**
I was right.
**[44:39] Oug**
You're not normal.
**[44:50] Oug**
Manipulating your opponent's thought
process... You're like a devil yourself.
**[45:08] Was**
I can't believe that kid was
manipulating a man like me.
**[45:18] Guy**
Manipulating?
**[45:20] Was**
That riichi.
**[45:23] Was**
Before I called on Suzuki's west wind,
**[45:27] Was**
he declared his riichi because
he had fully read my hand.
**[45:31] Was**
He did it to lead me towards that green
dragon, west wind, three dora hand.
**[45:37] Guy**
You're right.
**[45:38] Guy**
Looking back now, it was
clearly an unnatural riichi.
**[45:42] Was**
With that riichi wager,
**[45:45] Was**
he deliberately lowered the
requirement for me to take the lead
**[45:50] Was**
from a haneman to a mangan,
luring me toward it.
**[45:55] Guy**
I see.
**[45:58] Was**
I was lured in by that obviously contrived riichi.
**[46:09] Yasu**
Akagi, can I ask you one more thing?
**[46:15] Yasu**
Even if you had figured out the west wind,
what about the rest of his hand?
**[46:23] Yasu**
Of course, you knew that he had a
single wait for the 3 of characters.
**[46:28] Yasu**
And since we're there already,
doesn't that also mean you knew he had
**[46:32] Yasu**
two west winds and a closed wait
for the 2 of characters before?
**[46:38] Yasu**
How could you know that?
**[46:41] Aka**
Isn't it simple?
**[46:42] Yasu**
I also figured that he couldn't have a
circles honitsu since Suzuki
**[46:46] Yasu**
didn't deal any of his many
circle tiles into Washizu's hand.
**[46:50] Yasu**
So I guessed it was a chanta.
That much I got.
**[46:53] Yasu**
But how did you know what
he was waiting on?
**[46:56] Aka**
If you got that far already,
the answer is right in front of you.
**[47:00] Yasu**
Huh?
**[47:04] Aka**
This time, instead of trying
to read Washizu's hand,
**[47:09] Aka**
you just need to take a good look at
Suzuki's hand to reveal Washizu's tiles.
**[47:15] Aka**
Then all you have to do is see
what Suzuki's hand looked like.
**[47:20] Aka**
Over half of his tiles were circle and honor tiles.
**[47:23] Aka**
They were the pawns to deal
into Washizu's honitsu hand.
**[47:26] Aka**
The rest were for a chanta hand.
**[47:28] (Flashback) Was**
Pon!
**[47:32] Aka**
What's more, after Suzuki let
Washizu call the west wind,
**[47:37] Aka**
he didn't deal the 1 or 9 of bamboo,
or the 9 of characters.
**[47:42] Aka**
That meant any waits involving
these tiles were out.
**[47:48] Aka**
Meaning the only remaining
possibilities for a chanta
**[47:51] Aka**
were around the 1 of characters.
**[47:54] Yasu**
But couldn't it also have been
a 1, 4 or 6, 9 of bamboo wait?
**[47:56] Aka**
No.
**[47:58] Aka**
He'd already discarded all
the tiles around the 4 and 6.
**[48:02] Aka**
He wouldn't throw away a win
like that after all those pon calls.
**[48:07] Aka**
So in the end, you could assume his wait
**[48:13] Aka**
was for either a 1 and 2 of characters
or 1 and 3 of characters.
**[48:18] Aka**
But since I had the opaque
2 of characters in my hand,
**[48:23] Aka**
it meant Washizu had to be in a closed
wait for the 1 and 3 of characters.
**[48:29] Yasu**
So why did Suzuki keep the 3 of characters?
**[48:32] Aka**
Right. It seemed like a pointless tile at a glance,
**[48:35] Aka**
but Washizu had a 3 of
characters left in his hand.
**[48:38] Aka**
That means it's a tile Washizu could
definitely use for a single wait.
**[48:43] Aka**
Considering that,
**[48:46] Aka**
if I were to declare riichi, as I did,
**[48:50] Aka**
a mangan would be enough
for him to take the lead.
**[48:53] Aka**
A green dragon kan could yield new
dora that would give him a haneman,
**[48:58] Aka**
even with just the 3 of characters.
**[49:02] Aka**
That's why Suzuki kept it.
**[49:08] Aka**
But you know, Yasuoka-san...
**[49:11] Yasu**
What?
**[49:12] Aka**
What was vital to see this time
was not Washizu's hand,
**[49:16] Aka**
but his state of mind.
**[49:21] Aka**
Whether or not Washizu would be lured toward
**[49:25] Aka**
my 3 of characters strategy,
as planned, once I declared riichi
**[49:31] Aka**
was the vital point.
**[49:34] Ouh**
You did a wonderful job manipulating him.
**[49:39] Aka**
Do you know why it worked?
**[49:46] Aka**
Because Washizu was starved for victory.
**[49:50] Oug**
Starved?
**[49:52] Aka**
Washizu won his way through life.
**[49:56] Aka**
For him, victory was always certain.
**[49:58] Aka**
He knows well the difference
between victory and an advantage.
**[50:03] Oug**
The difference between
victory and an advantage?
**[50:06] Aka**
Having an advantage has
little meaning by itself.
**[50:08] Aka**
It only has meaning once you have won.
**[50:12] Aka**
Successful people know that intimately,
which is why they all strive to win.
**[50:18] Oug**
Damn.
**[50:20] Oug**
So even when you're out of luck,
**[50:22] Oug**
you're someone who can pull through anyway.
**[50:33] Aka**
You can't control luck.
**[50:35] Aka**
But you can control thought patterns.
**[50:40] Aka**
The thought patterns of successful
people starved for victory.
**[50:59] Guy**
Washizu-sama, what shall we do?
**[51:02] Was**
About what?
**[51:04] Guy**
Will you continue into the
third game, or will you stop?
**[51:09] Guy**
When I see that man, I see
something endlessly foreboding...
**[51:14] Guy**
Something truly disturbing.
**[51:16] Guy2**
Me, too.
**[51:17] Guy**
I believe that exercising
prudence is a viable option.
**[51:21] Guy**
Should you stop now, you will have
lost only a little over 100 million.
**[51:28] Was**
You're telling me to run away?
**[51:33] Guy**
But, sir...
**[51:35] Was**
How dare you?!
**[51:39] Was**
You're telling someone who has built their
life around victory to admit defeat?!
**[51:46] Guy**
Washizu-sama—
**[51:47] Was**
I will not!
**[51:48] Was**
It will not happen!
**[52:01] Was**
I will kill him with my own hands.

**[00:12] Guy**
Washizu-sama, what shall we do?
**[00:15] Was**
About what?
**[00:17] Guy**
Will you continue into the
third game, or will you stop?
**[00:23] (Flashback) Aka**
You're actually quite the
coward, Washizu Iwao.
**[00:32] Was**
You're telling me to run away?
**[00:36] Guy**
But, sir...
**[00:38] Was**
How dare you?!
**[00:42] Was**
You're telling someone who has built their

**[00:49] Guy**
Washizu-sama...
**[00:50] Was**
I will not!
**[00:51] Was**
It will not happen!
**[00:57] Was**
I will kill him with my own hands.
***SIGN*** Third Game
***SIGN*** East Hand 1
**[01:09] Nar**
The first and second games
**[01:11] Nar**
ended with Washizu just nudged into second place.
**[01:14] Nar**
He's already lost over 100 million yen.
**[01:19] Nar**
Washizu wants to escape
**[01:21] Nar**
his bad luck in the previous games,
but his hand is not so good.
**[01:28] Nar**
His draws are also sub-par.
**[01:31] Nar**
He is clearly going downhill.
**[01:33] Nar**
He's in a slump he can't rectify.
**[01:36] Nar**
On the other hand, Akagi is doing well.
**[01:39] Nar**
He's already one away from tenpai,
with three dora, the 4 of circles.
**[01:43] oug**
*All right.*
**[01:44] oug**
*Luck is on our side.*
**[01:46] oug**
* Having dodged the curse of that*
* west wind in the last hand was big.*
**[01:51] oug**
*Still, Akagi isn't relaxing at all, even now.*
**[01:56] oug**
*Actually, this is another dimension entirely.*
**[01:59] oug**
*He has risen far above that.*
**[02:04] oug**
*If he hadn't, he could not have survived.*
**[02:30] Akagi**
Tsumo.
**[02:31] oug**
Yes!
**[02:33] Akagi**
Tsumo, ittsuu, three dora. Haneman.
**[02:39] Nar**
With this win, Akagi takes an
additional 3,000 points from Washizu.
**[02:44] Nar**
In monetary terms, that is three million yen.
**[02:55] oug**
By continuously discarding unnecessary tiles,
**[02:58] oug**
you ended up with an ideal hand.
**[03:00] oug**
Luck is clearly on your side.
**[03:02] oug**
You can do this, Akagi.
**[03:05] Was**
Why are you hanging your head?
**[03:09] Was**
The fight is only just beginning.
**[03:15] Guy**
Yes.
**[03:17] Guy**
But right now, the luck is...
**[03:20] Was**
I told you,
**[03:23] Was**
I had a premonition...
***SIGN*** A few minutes before the third game
**[03:32] (Flashback) Was**
Hey, Okamoto...
**[03:34] (Flashback) Oka**
Yes, sir.
**[03:39] (Flashback) Was**
If I kill that man,
**[03:44] (Flashback) Was**
I will have arrived at the apex of my 75 years
of life, the moment of supreme bliss.
**[03:50] (Flashback) Was**
I really do believe I was born to kill Akagi.
**[03:58] (Flashback) Was**
I've already drawn 1,100 cc of blood from him,
**[04:03] (Flashback) Was**
so it is very possible that he'll
die before this hand is over.
**[04:08] (Flashback) Was**
Still, I'd like to win by outranking him.
**[04:12] (Flashback) Was**
I want to choke the life
out of him with my skill.
**[04:17] (Flashback) Was**
That would be the true
proof of my superiority.
**[04:21] (Flashback) Oka**
But, sir, this is not the time
for such deliberate plans.
**[04:25] (Flashback) Was**
Are you saying you don't think I am capable?
**[04:28] (Flashback) Oka**
That is not what I meant, sir.
**[04:30] (Flashback) Was**
Haven't you observed me all this time?
**[04:35] (Flashback) Was**
How many times have I overcome adversity
to crawl up from the brink of Hell?
**[04:43] (Flashback) Was**
How many times have I come
through the storm to stand upon
**[04:48] (Flashback) Was**
the pinnacle that is success?
**[04:51] (Flashback) Was**
At all times, my true game
**[04:57] (Flashback) Was**
begins here!
**[05:04] Oka**
* It is as you say. That is precisely*
* why we have always looked up to you.*
**[05:11] Oka**
*Because no matter what came your way,*
**[05:13] Oka**
*you have continued to stand at the apex.*
**[05:17] Oka**
* Let us have faith in his luck,*
* in his limitless powers.*
**[05:22] (Flashback) Was**
I will make him regret everything.
***SIGN*** Episode 4
***SIGN*** Washizu Mahjong
**[06:01] Nar**
Washizu Mahjong.
**[06:03] Nar**
It is a mad game of Mahjong
in which Washizu bets money
**[06:07] Nar**
and Akagi bets his own blood,
fighting until one is annihilated.
**[06:12] Nar**
The rate is set at 1,000 points
being worth 1 million yen,
***SIGN*** 1000 points = 1 million
**[06:15] Nar**
or 100 cc of blood.
***SIGN*** 1000 points = 100 cc of blood
**[06:19] Nar**
It's a one-on-one match
between Akagi and Washizu.
**[06:23] Nar**
At the end of each East-South match,
points are tallied up, including rank bonuses.
**[06:28] Nar**
Additionally, bonus payments
are due every time a direct hit
**[06:31] Nar**
or a tsumo win causes points to trade
hands between Akagi and Washizu.
**[06:36] Nar**
These payments are made
immediately, in cash or blood.
**[06:43] Nar**
Three of the four tiles in each suit are transparent,
**[06:50] Nar**
and only one is a regular tile with a black back.
**[06:56] Nar**
If Akagi can survive through six East-South
matches with these rules, he wins.
**[07:00] Nar**
Should he die before then,
**[07:03] Nar**
he will lose all that he had amassed
up to that point, and Washizu wins.
***SIGN*** Washizu Mahjong
***SIGN*** Third Game
***SIGN*** East Hand 2
**[07:27] Oka**
*It's crucial he stays the dealer here.*
**[07:30] Oka**
* If he loses it, then there's a 90% chance*
* this third game will go to Akagi.*
**[07:37] Oka**
*Even if it's only by 1,500 or 2,000 points,*
**[07:39] Oka**
*he has to win!*
**[07:41] Oka**
* He has no melds, but he's three tiles away*
* from a nice hand with three two-sided waits.*
**[07:46] Oka**
*He could fight back with this.*
**[07:51] Oka**
*But the problem is that kid's hand.*
**[07:56] Oka**
*At a glance, it's not very good.*
**[07:58] Oka**
*Washizu-sama's hand is clearly superior.*
**[08:01] Oka**
*Of course Washizu-sama will win.*
**[08:03] Oka**
* It would be nothing short of expected*
* to have a worse hand than the last one.*
**[08:08] Oka**
* But he is already three tiles away from*
* a possible tanyao, pinfu, sanshoku hand.*
**[08:12] Oka**
*Just how strong is the luck he was born with?*
**[08:20] Oka**
* Two tiles to tenpai in just three turns...*
* But I guess he lost the tanyao.*
**[08:27] Oka**
*No, that's fine.*
**[08:30] Oka**
* Right now, speed takes precedence*
* over an expensive hand.*
**[08:32] Oka**
*Staying dealer takes priority over everything.*
**[08:40] Oka**
*Now he's lost the pinfu.*
**[08:43] Oka**
*His hand keeps getting cheaper.*
**[08:49] Oka**
*And now the sanshoku is gone.*
**[08:51] Oka**
* It was fine at first,*
* but now his hand is worthless.*
**[08:56] ---**
*Wait...*
**[08:57] Oka**
*But if he gets the dora, the 6 of circles,*
**[09:00] Oka**
*he'll have a riichi, ippatsu, with one dora.*
**[09:02] Oka**
*With any reverse dora, that's a mangan!*
**[09:06] Oka**
*Nothing's working in his favor at all...*
**[09:11] Oka**
*But at least he's in tenpai.*
**[09:13] Oka**
*That's what's most important.*
**[09:16] Oka**
* Suzuki has a 1 of circles, so he*
* could play it into his single wait.*
**[09:23] Oka**
*He's foregoing the riichi?*
**[09:27] Suz**
Kan.
**[09:29] Oka**
*Now I get it.*
**[09:30] Oka**
* It's not too late to declare riichi*
* after the new dora's been revealed.*
**[09:42] Oka**
*This is...*
**[09:51] Oka**
*Who could've imagined this?*
**[09:53] Oka**
*Getting kan dora among adversity like this?*
**[09:57] Oka**
*Three of them, no less!*
**[09:58] Oka**
*Unbelievable!*
**[10:01] Oka**
*This is the brute luck this man possesses.*
**[10:03] Oka**
*He lost the first two games,*
**[10:05] Oka**
* and had Akagi win with a haneman*
* in the first hand of the third.*
**[10:08] Oka**
*Everything was aligned against him.*
**[10:09] Oka**
*It's been difficult to rise up again,*
**[10:11] Oka**
* but he's done it in spite of the odds*
* and got into tenpai as the dealer.*
**[10:18] Was**
Riichi.
**[10:21] Oka**
*He's going to win.*
**[10:25] Oka**
*It's a guaranteed dealer mangan.*
**[10:28] Oka**
* Now Suzuki just has to deal*
* the 1 of circles into his hand.*
**[10:31] Oka**
*That'll be riichi, ippatsu, three dora.*
**[10:33] Oka**
*With any reverse dora, it'll be a haneman,*
**[10:34] Oka**
*or even a baiman.*
**[10:38] Oka**
*He'll take the lead!*
**[10:43] Oka**
*What?*
**[10:55] Oka**
*Why isn't he dealing him the 1 of circles?*
**[10:57] Oka**
*It would guarantee a dealer mangan!*
**[11:01] Oka**
*I get it.*
**[11:03] Oka**
*Akagi has a...*
**[11:05] Oka**
* And it looks like both the 1 and*
* 3 of circles are useless to him.*
**[11:08] Oka**
* Because the tile that closed wait is for,*
* the 2 of circles, is in Suzuki's hand.*
**[11:14] Oka**
* It's a closed wait he*
* must want to get rid of.*
**[11:17] Oka**
* Not to mention, the 3 of circles is*
* one of Washizu-sama's safe tiles.*
**[11:22] Oka**
* Dealing him the 1 of circles*
* immediately would be*
**[11:25] Oka**
*the essence of Washizu Mahjong.*
**[11:27] Oka**
* And since Suzuki didn't do that,*
* Akagi must believe*
**[11:31] Oka**
* that Suzuki does not have*
* Washizu-sama's winning tile.*
**[11:34] Oka**
*That is to say, Suzuki's tiles are also safe tiles.*
**[11:38] Oka**
* That's how the logic of the second*
* discard pile is established.*
**[11:42] Oka**
* If Akagi believes in that,*
* he'll deal the tile for sure.*
**[11:47] Oka**
*If he deals the 1 of circles now,*
**[11:49] Oka**
* he'll lose 1,200 cc for the 12,000 points*
* Washizu-sama's dealer mangan is worth,*
**[11:54] Oka**
*putting Akagi's total blood loss at 2,300 cc.*
**[11:58] Oka**
*There's no way he can survive that.*
**[12:02] Oka**
*Will the lethal tile come out?*
**[12:07] Oka**
*Nope...*
**[12:15] Was**
Of course he won't deal it.
**[12:21] Oka**
Washizu-sama...
**[12:24] Was**
And that is just fine.
**[12:34] (Flashback) Was**
That kid's senses are extraordinary and
far surpass those of normal people.
**[12:43] (Flashback) Was**
He'll easy figure out a trap like that.
**[12:47] (Flashback) Oka**
So not letting Suzuki deal the
ippatsu into your hand is a trap?
**[12:52] (Flashback) Was**
Having him deal into my hand after
riichi would only get me more points.
**[13:01] (Flashback) Was**
But it wouldn't advance me
in any fundamental way.
**[13:05] (Flashback) Was**
I wouldn't gain anything special.
**[13:08] (Flashback) Oka**
Anything special?
**[13:09] (Flashback) Was**
I'm talking about fear.
**[13:14] (Flashback) Was**
Even if it's an obvious trap,
**[13:17] (Flashback) Was**
it's amusing to sow that seed of suspicion.
**[13:24] (Flashback) Oka**
It may not make sense at first,
**[13:26] (Flashback) Oka**
but if you wait a few turns instead
of acting immediately as usual,
**[13:29] (Flashback) Oka**
it will shake his confidence
in the second discard pile.
**[13:33] (Flashback) Was**
He will be shaken, and that
will show its effects later.
**[13:39] (Flashback) Was**
In a heavier,
**[13:44] (Flashback) Was**
much heavier scene.
**[13:53] Was**
*That's right.*
**[13:55] Was**
* Even if Suzuki is able to play into*
* my hand, there's no need to rush.*
**[14:02] Was**
*Right now, I have a riichi hand with three dora.*
**[14:06] Was**
* An ippatsu tsumo on top of*
* that would give me 6 han.*
**[14:10] Was**
* That's a dealer haneman*
* worth 6,000 from everyone.*
**[14:14] Was**
*He's had 1,100 cc of blood extracted already,*
**[14:20] Was**
*and if he loses another 600 cc,*
**[14:22] Was**
* that will make a total of 1,700 cc.*
* With that much blood lost,*
**[14:26] Was**
* he could die at any moment and*
* it would not be surprising.*
**[14:31] Was**
* All I have to do is draw the*
* 1 of circles now, and he will die.*
**[14:38] Was**
*Now...*
**[14:40] Was**
*Tremble.*
**[14:53] Was**
*That's right.*
**[14:55] Was**
*He's the one suffering now.*
**[14:57] Was**
*I have an overwhelming advantage.*
**[15:00] Was**
*The advantage is mine!*
**[15:03] Was**
* Even if I missed the ippatsu,*
* if I draw the tile and get*
**[15:07] Was**
* even a single reverse dora,*
* that's enough for a haneman.*
**[15:10] Was**
*The haneman that'll allow me to kill Akagi.*
**[15:14] Was**
*He's the one who should be trembling now.*
**[15:18] Was**
* If I draw the 1 of circles,*
* he will be pushed right*
**[15:21] Was**
* into the arms of death, or at*
* least to the brink of death.*
**[15:25] Was**
* And of course, if he discards the*
* tile, his death will be instant.*
**[15:30] Was**
* I'll extract the blood,*
* and he'll shrivel up and die.*
**[15:35] Was**
*Pathetically, too.*
**[15:37] Was**
*Now... Be afraid.*
**[15:40] Was**
*The advantage is mine.*
**[15:43] Was**
*This is the draw that'll kill you.*
**[15:46] Was**
*Kill you... kill you...*
**[15:49] Was**
*The draw that'll kill you!*
**[16:06] Was**
*No, don't rush.*
**[16:09] Was**
*Let me have more fun.*
**[16:12] Was**
*I can win at any time.*
**[16:14] Was**
*Take a good look at their hands.*
**[16:18] Was**
* It looks like that cop's hand*
* is going to need some more time.*
**[16:24] Was**
* As long as the pair of red dragons does*
* not become a triplet, and he doesn't call it,*
**[16:30] Was**
*we'll be fine.*
**[16:32] Was**
* And Akagi's hand is not even worth*
* mentioning. It's a total mess.*
**[16:37] Was**
*He's two away from tenpai, at best.*
**[16:41] Was**
*And with that closed wait...*
**[16:42] Was**
*Since you have three of the 2 of circles,*
**[16:46] Was**
* he'd have to wait for the last one,*
* even if he was in tenpai.*
**[16:52] Was**
*There's no need to worry.*

**[16:56] Was**
*We still have a lot of time to spare.*
**[17:09] Was**
*This is interesting.*
**[17:12] Was**
* Now that he has the 3 of circles as his pair,*
* the 1 just might get flushed out.*
**[17:27] Was**
*You won't discard it, eh?*
**[17:30] Was**
* He seems to know that he can't*
* discard that 1 of circles.*
**[17:35] Was**
*He realized that it was a seed I had sown.*
**[17:40] Was**
*But that doesn't matter.*
**[17:44] Was**
*If I draw the 1 of circles now, it's all over.*
**[17:51] Was**
*If I draw the 1 of circles, I can kill this man.*
**[18:01] Was**
*But why?*
**[18:03] Was**
*Why isn't he afraid?*
**[18:06] Was**
*Why won't he tremble?*
**[18:09] Was**
*What's wrong with him?*
**[18:14] Was**
*This is not fun.*
**[18:18] Was**
*It's only the ones around him who panic.*
**[18:20] Was**
* The one who should panic most,*
* this brat, doesn't move a muscle.*
**[18:31] oug**
*For God's sake...*
**[18:33] oug**
*How can you keep so calm?*
**[18:38] (Flashback) oug**
Akagi, are you really not scared?
**[18:42] (Flashback) Aka**
Of what?
**[18:44] (Flashback) oug**
What do you mean, "of what"?
**[18:46] (Flashback) oug**
If Washizu draws his tile,
he'll have a riichi tsumo with three dora.
**[18:49] (Flashback) oug**
With any reverse dora added,
it could be a haneman or even a baiman.
**[18:52] (Flashback) oug**
Depending on the tile he draws, you could die!
**[18:56] (Flashback) Aka**
If my time comes to die,
then I only have to die.
**[19:00] (Flashback) oug**
Akagi...
**[19:04] (Flashback) Yasu**
You know, we can't see it that way.
**[19:06] (Flashback) Yasu**
We're just regular people.
**[19:08] (Flashback) oug**
He's right.
**[19:09] (Flashback) oug**
Anyone would get nervous
in a situation like this.
**[19:12] (Flashback) Aka**
This is exactly the time
when you must not waver.
**[19:17] (Flashback) Aka**
You hesitate, because you're in a tight spot.
**[19:19] (Flashback) Aka**
You tremble, because you're scared.
**[19:22] (Flashback) Aka**
If you're like that in an illogical gamble like this,
**[19:24] (Flashback) Aka**
you'll never grab hold of luck.
**[19:27] (Flashback) Aka**
There's no way I can stop his luck.
**[19:30] (Flashback) oug**
Then what are you going to do?
**[19:33] (Flashback) Aka**
You'll see soon enough.
**[19:39] oug**
What will you do?
**[19:41] Was**
Go.
**[19:44] Suz**
Kan.
**[19:45] oug**
*Again?*
**[20:07] Was**
It morphed!
**[20:10] Was**
With a riichi and six dora,
I'll have a dealer haneman!
**[20:14] Was**
If I draw my winning tile or
get even one reverse dora,
**[20:16] Was**
it'll be a dealer baiman hand!
**[20:23] Was**
It's here...
**[20:26] Was**
It's here.
**[20:29] Was**
It's here!
**[20:32] Was**
The power of the demons lifting me up!
**[20:45] Suzu**
Shall I?
**[20:47] Was**
You fool!
**[20:48] Suzu**
But isn't this enough?
**[20:50] Was**
If I draw it, I get 8,000 points from everyone.
**[20:53] Was**
He'll lose 800 cc of blood.
**[20:56] Was**
That will be a total of 1,900 CCs.
**[20:58] Was**
He has nothing left to do but die.
**[21:00] Was**
And if he plays into my hand,
he'll pay 24,000 directly.
**[21:03] Was**
That's 2,400 cc. Certain death!
**[21:08] Was**
Even he will have to tremble.
**[21:12] Was**
That's what I want to see.
**[21:18] Was**
All right, boy. Let's see you tremble.
**[21:24] Was**
Be afraid. Shiver.
**[21:28] Was**
Show me what it looks like.
**[21:42] Was**
* Looks like you finally got rid*
* of most of your useless tiles.*
**[21:46] Was**
* Does that mean you'll finally be*
* reaching for that 1 of circles?*
**[21:53] Was**
* You know from Suzuki's kan that*
* there are no more 2 of circles.*
**[21:59] Was**
* That 1 of circles is garbage to you,*
* and if you keep hanging on to it,*
**[22:05] Was**
*you'll never get to tenpai.*
**[22:10] Was**
*Why not discard it?*
**[22:12] Was**
* How can you be certain that the 1 of*
* circles in Suzuki's hand is a trap?*
**[22:18] Was**
*It might actually be safe for you to discard.*
**[22:21] Was**
*Isn't Mahjong all about the unexpected?*
**[22:24] Was**
*Right, Akagi?*
**[22:38] Was**
* If you're refusing to discard it,*
* even with that hand,*
**[22:41] Was**
* does that mean you're*
* convinced I'm waiting on it?*
**[22:47] Was**
*That's all fine.*
**[22:49] Was**
*I'll just have to draw it myself.*
**[22:51] Was**
*If I draw it...*
**[22:54] Was**
*If I draw it now, it's all the same. You will die.*
**[23:09] Was**
*Why don't you tremble?*
**[23:12] Was**
*Why aren't you afraid?*
**[23:16] Was**
*Why?*
**[23:46] Was**
Kan!
**[23:51] Oka**
He's got eight dora now.
**[23:54] Was**
Akagi-kun.
**[23:57] Was**
I can hear their voices...
**[24:01] Was**
Voices telling me to kill you.
**[24:06] Was**
The voices of the demons who rule Mahjong.
**[24:13] Oka**
He's a monster.
**[24:15] Oka**
Once his luck is set in motion,
it's beyond our understanding.
**[24:19] Oka**
The boy's sense may be extraordinary,
**[24:22] Oka**
but Washizu-sama's luck is far beyond
the understanding of ordinary minds.
**[24:29] Was**
Now, before I draw my
tile from the dead wall,
**[24:35] Was**
I'll draw the new dora indicator.
**[24:43] Was**
Now, take me
**[24:49] Was**
to a much higher place.
**[24:55] Was**
Take me higher...
**[24:59] Was**
Higher and...
**[25:04] Was**
higher!
**[25:07] oug**
What?
**[25:09] Yasu**
The 1 of bamboo?
**[25:15] Was**
This is
**[25:17] Was**
the will of the demons.
**[25:20] Oka**
Twelve dora!
**[25:24] oug**
Impossible!
**[25:26] oug**
How can this happen?
**[25:30] Was**
Akagi Shigeru.
**[25:33] Was**
If I win off my dead wall draw,
it's a dealer's yakuman.
**[25:37] Was**
16,000 from everyone.
**[25:40] Was**
That'll be 1,600 cc of blood from you,
totaling 2,700 cc, and then...
**[25:47] Was**
you die!
**[25:54] Was**
They're pushing down on me.
**[25:58] Was**
They're pushing down on my
back with an unbelievable force.
**[26:05] Was**
Something demonic from the netherworld.
**[26:09] Was**
They're gathered in great numbers
and swarming around my back.
**[26:14] Was**
It hurts!
**[26:16] Was**
They're heavy!
**[26:17] Was**
This old body can't hold itself up anymore.
**[26:24] ---**
The weight... of such luck...
**[26:32] Was**
It hurts!
**[26:53] Was**
Look.
**[26:56] Was**
Anything is possible for me now.
**[27:00] Was**
It is inevitable that I draw the winning tile.
**[27:08] Was**
It is inevitable.
**[27:13] Was**
Now, come.
**[27:21] Was**
My winning tile.
**[27:27] Was**
Let me
**[27:32] Was**
draw you!
**[27:39] Was**
A dealer's yakuman.
**[27:43] Was**
Twelve dora.
**[27:54] Was**
Where...
**[27:56] Was**
is my...
**[27:59] Was**
winning tile?
**[28:11] Was**
This one?
**[28:12] ---**
No.
**[28:14] ---**
This one...?
**[28:18] ---**
No.
**[28:23] Was**
This... one...
**[28:32] ---**
No...
**[28:41] Was**
Or this one?
**[28:50] ---**
No...
**[29:00] Was**
This... is... it!
**[29:12] Was**
*What is wrong with this brat?*
**[29:15] Was**
*He still isn't afraid?*
**[29:18] Was**
*He still won't tremble?*
**[29:20] Was**
* He won't fear me, who stands*
* at the highest pinnacle of all?*
**[29:23] Was**
*Me, Washizu Iwao, the incarnation of God?!*
**[29:32] Was**
*Where is it?*
**[29:34] Was**
*The tile from before...*
**[29:36] Was**
*The tile I drew in...*
**[29:38] Was**
*Where is it?*
**[29:40] Was**
*Here? Here?*
**[29:43] Was**
*This one?*
**[29:43] Was**
*Th-Th-Th-Th-Th-Th-Th-This one?*
**[29:46] Was**
*Th-Th-Th-Th-Th-This one?!*
**[30:07] Was**
Damn it!
**[30:12] oug**
We survived.
**[30:30] (Flashback) Oku**
Washizu-sama, let me play the 1 of circles.
**[30:33] (Flashback) oku**
Suzuki dealing into your hand
**[30:35] (Flashback) oku**
will be enough to overturn Akagi
and lead by 33,000 points.
**[30:40] (Flashback) oku**
With that big a lead, you'll be
able to win this East-South match.
**[30:43] (Flashback) oku**
It's been long enough!
**[30:45] (Flashback) oku**
Let's end it here, Washizu-sama!
**[30:51] (Flashback) Was**
I see. You're right.
**[30:56] (Flashback) Oku**
Yes!
**[31:02] (Flashback) Was**
There's no chance of me
getting a direct hit off Akagi.
**[31:07] (Flashback) Was**
And waiting to get a tsumo
with an equally small chance
**[31:13] (Flashback) Was**
isn't getting me anywhere.
**[31:17] (Flashback) Was**
It's even dangerous!
**[31:20] (Flashback) Oku**
That's right.
**[31:29] (Flashback) Was**
Fool.
**[31:33] (Flashback) Was**
Deliberately keep playing!
**[31:37] (Flashback) Oku**
Washizu-sama?
**[31:39] (Flashback) Was**
He's a freak who doesn't fear death.
**[31:44] (Flashback) Was**
In order to kill a lunatic like that,
**[31:47] (Flashback) Was**
we also have to abandon that which is normal.
**[31:51] (Flashback) Oku**
But, sir...
**[31:54] (Flashback) Was**
So...
**[31:57] (Flashback) Was**
Chase him!
**[31:59] (Flashback) Was**
Pursue him relentlessly and kill him!
**[32:23] Was**
*Another tile went into his hand.*
**[32:26] Was**
*But the way to victory is still long.*
**[32:31] Was**
*I still have time.*
**[33:04] Aka**
Pon.

Didn't you hear?
**[36:21] Was**
Hear what?
**[36:26] Yasu**
Ron.
**[36:28] Yasu**
Red dragon, one dora. 2,000 points.
**[36:30] Yasu**
It's a head bump.
**[36:38] Was**
What the hell?!
**[36:40] ---**
Washizu-sama!
**[36:42] Oku**
Calm down! Washizu-sama!
**[36:46] Oku**
Washizu-sama!
**[36:49] Was**
Let me go!
**[36:52] Oku**
Washizu-sama!
**[36:52] Was**
Let me go!
**[36:54] Was**
You bastard!
**[37:07] Aka**
Your senses have dulled, Washizu Iwao.
**[37:15] Aka**
That's because you are afraid.
**[37:20] Was**
Me? Afraid?
**[37:27] Aka**
That's right.
**[37:29] Aka**
That dead wall draw after
you got to twelve dora...
**[37:32] Aka**
That was the crossroads,
and not just in hindsight.
**[37:49] (Flashback) Was**
Damn it!
**[37:52] Aka**
You should have realized then,
when you couldn't draw it.
**[37:57] Aka**
That's when the luck turned.
**[37:59] Aka**
It was over right then.
**[38:02] Aka**
You should've stopped the pursuit and
just let Suzuki play into your hand.
**[38:09] Aka**
Then you would have been able to
at least pick up the 48,000 points.
**[38:17] Aka**
You should have been satisfied with that.
**[38:21] Aka**
But you forced the game onward,
and dug your own grave.
**[38:27] Aka**
Pathetic.
**[38:29] Aka**
Even though Heaven sent you a sign
that you had reached the limit.
**[38:35] Aka**
You ignored that valuable warning.
**[38:40] Aka**
Your regular self probably
wouldn't have done that.
**[38:43] Aka**
You would have sensed that sign and obeyed it.
**[38:47] Aka**
But it only looked like you
had momentum on the surface,
**[38:51] Aka**
while deep down in the core of
your being, you were afraid.
**[38:56] Aka**
So your greed took over
**[38:59] Aka**
and insisted on getting
the tsumo or direct hit.
**[39:02] Aka**
Thus you tried to take the
shortcut to finish the match.
**[39:13] Was**
You're the one who was trembling
deep in the core of your being.
**[39:19] Aka**
If that were true, I couldn't
have won against your luck.
**[39:25] Aka**
I'm always the same.
**[39:26] Aka**
Whether I'm in a bind or I've got
a good break, I stay the same.
**[39:30] Aka**
It's the only way to call victory to your side.
**[39:35] Oug**
I see. So that's how it is.
**[39:41] Was**
I see...
**[39:44] Was**
I may indeed have been caught up
**[39:47] Was**
in the temptation of that
murderous intent to kill you.
**[39:56] Was**
Hey, what are you standing around for?
**[39:58] Was**
Pick up the tiles at once!
**[39:59] Oku**
Yes, sir.
**[40:02] Aka**
The real problem is where that
murderous intent stems from.
**[40:09] Aka**
You should have an inkling, as well.
**[40:12] Aka**
About where it's coming from.
**[40:15] Aka**
Yes, the root of that murderous intent
**[40:19] Aka**
is fear.
**[40:22] Aka**
You want to kill because
you don't want to die.
**[40:25] Aka**
That's why you rush to kill.
**[40:27] Aka**
I got some glimpses of that fear
in the first and second game, too,
**[40:32] Aka**
but this time, it was clear.
**[40:35] Aka**
At the beginning, I could
sense this enthusiasm,
**[40:39] Aka**
this motivation in you to win
purely by skill, by outranking me.
**[40:45] Aka**
But when you got a hand
that could actually kill me...
**[40:49] Aka**
Once that chance came to you, you lost
your cool and that feeling got hazy.
**[40:54] Aka**
It was quickly forgotten.
**[40:57] Aka**
Then you wanted to kill right away.
**[41:01] Aka**
Right now.
**[41:04] Aka**
Because you wanted to save yourself.
**[41:10] Aka**
You have an abnormally tenacious desire to live.
**[41:14] Aka**
No, you rage against death.
**[41:19] Aka**
Your life may have been a chain of victories,
**[41:22] Aka**
but only because you were
always terrified of death.
**[41:27] Aka**
Because you were so abnormally terrified
of death, you were able to keep winning.
**[41:37] Aka**
Even if by a single step,
you wanted to stay far from death.
**[41:42] Aka**
You wanted to distance
yourself from destruction.
**[41:46] Aka**
In order to achieve that, you had to build.
**[41:52] Aka**
Illegal money. Needless money.
**[41:57] Aka**
That's really all there is to you.
**[42:02] Aka**
The big air you put on and your appearance
are all because of your money.
**[42:11] Aka**
If you remove that costume of
money, there's isn't much left.
**[42:16] Aka**
All you'll find there is crazed old man.
**[42:22] Aka**
An lone, ugly old man with
a bizarre glint in his eyes.
**[42:36] Guys**
Washizu-sama...
**[42:36] Guys**
Washizu-sama...
**[42:49] oug**

*Don't think I'll let you get away with it.*
**[45:10] Was**
*You will bow down before me.*
**[45:16] Was**
* If I get rid of this 4 of circles,*
* I'll have a pinfu, ittsuu tenpai.*
**[45:23] Was**
* But this 4 of circles is most likely*
* the enemy's winning tile.*
**[45:34] (Flashback) Aka**
You're actually quite the
coward, Washizu Iwao.
**[45:40] Was**
*That's insane.*
**[45:42] Was**
*I am the king!*
**[45:45] Was**
*You peasant!*
**[45:47] Was**
*I'll make this pass!*
**[45:53] Aka**
Ron.
**[45:54] Aka**
Tanyao, sanshoku. 7,700.
**[46:14] Oku**
*He has completely lost himself.*
***SIGN*** Third Game
***SIGN*** East Hand 4 Bonus 1
**[46:22] Oku**
*It's even more crucial in Washizu Mahjong*
**[46:24] Oku**
* than in ordinary Mahjong*
* that one keeps a cool head.*
**[46:27] Oku**
*Specifically, keeping control of your own fear.*
**[46:31] Oku**
* Should you waver here, you will*
* sink into a bog of endless doubts.*
**[46:36] Oku**
* You will be led astray by illusions*

**[46:40] Oku**

**[46:44] Oku**
*There's no stopping it.*
**[46:46] Oku**
*You will continue to fall.*
**[46:51] Aka**
Chi.
**[46:54] Oku**
* Washizu-sama has played Washizu*
* Mahjong many, many times,*
**[46:58] Oku**
*but this is his first time tasting this thrill.*
**[47:01] Oku**
* That is to say, he has never participated*
* in the truest sense of the term.*
**[47:08] Oku**
*While his other opponents fought for their lives,*
**[47:11] Oku**
*Washizu-sama alone always stood protected.*
**[47:15] Oku**
*By his overwhelming funds.*
**[47:18] Oku**
*Just as that man said...*
**[47:31] Aka**
Ron.
**[47:33] Aka**
Tanyao, one dora.
**[47:34] Aka**
2,900. 3,200.
**[47:38] Oku**
* If you remove that costume of money,*
* all you'll find there is crazed old man.*
**[48:03] Nar**
Washizu went on to lose
the fourth game, as well.
**[48:09] nar**
At the end of the third game, there was a
***SIGN*** Point Difference Between Akagi and Washizu
**[48:11] nar**
107,000 point difference between him and Akagi.
***SIGN*** Game 3 107,000 points
**[48:14] nar**
At the end of the fourth game,
***SIGN*** Game 4 63,000 points
**[48:15] nar**
there was a 63,000 point difference.
**[48:17] Nar**
That's a total difference of 170,000 points.
***SIGN*** Total 170,000 points
**[48:20] Nar**
The direct hit and tsumo bonuses totaled
***SIGN*** Direct Hit, Tsumo Bonus Payments
***SIGN*** Game 3 18,000 points
**[48:25] Nar**
18,000 points at the end of game three,
***SIGN*** Game 4 7,000 points
**[48:27] nar**
and 7,000 points at the end of game four.
**[48:30] nar**
Adding them together yields 25,000 points,
***SIGN*** Total 25,000 points
**[48:33] nar**
bringing the grand total to 195,000 points.
***SIGN*** 195,000 points
**[48:36] nar**
Meaning he had lost 195 million yen.
***SIGN*** 195 million yen
**[48:43] nar**
At the start of the game,
Washizu's 500 million seemed endless,
**[48:48] ---**
but he has now fallen under 200 million.
**[48:51] nar**
In contrast, Akagi has raked in 313.5 million yen.
**[48:58] nar**
And the amount of blood he's lost is 1,400 cc.
**[49:03] nar**
In the last two games, he only lost 300 cc.
**[49:08] nar**
He completely dominated Washizu.
**[49:14] Suz**
This is harsh.
**[49:16] Oku**
I'd actually say that it's already over.
**[49:20] Oku**
Of course, we can continue if we want,
**[49:24] Oku**
but that's too dangerous a decision.
**[49:26] Suz**
On the other hand, we did manage to
stay alive with 200 million yen left.
**[49:32] Oku**
I believed in his luck and his limitless
power, but it wasn't enough.
**[49:41] Oku**
Not against that man. He's like a demon.
**[49:46] Oug**
It's over, Akagi.
**[49:48] Yasu**
He's not going to go for
the fifth and sixth game.
**[49:52] Yasu**
You didn't get all of his 500 million,
**[49:55] Yasu**
but that's more than enough.
**[50:00] Ogu**
To be honest, I'm relieved.
**[50:02] Ogu**
The money was one thing, but if we'd
lost, I would've lost one of my arms.
**[50:07] Aka**
It's not over yet.
**[50:09] Ouh**
What?
**[50:15] Aka**
Washizu will keep going.
**[50:18] Ouh**
That's crazy!
**[50:20] Yasu**
It's not possible.
**[50:21] Yasu**
Look at him.
**[50:22] Yasu**
Washizu's exhausted.
**[50:24] Ouh**
He's completely lost his will to fight.
**[50:27] Yasu**
There's no way he'll get back up.
**[50:29] Aka**
Of course, we can't continue *this* way.
**[50:33] Aka**
He needs a compromise, from our side.
**[50:39] Aka**
Normally, there'd be no point in going
this far to make the fight continue.
**[50:44] Aka**
But letting it end now
doesn't seem fair, either.
**[50:50] Yasu**
What?
**[50:52] Yasu**
Not "fair"?
**[50:55] Aka**
So far, all of my wins have been
surprise attacks, taking advantage
**[50:59] Aka**
of his misunderstandings and carelessness.
**[51:03] Aka**
I played the good boy and
he completely fell for it.
**[51:11] Aka**
Which means he hasn't fought
me at his full capacity yet.
**[51:19] Aka**
But in the fifth and sixth
games, it'll be different.
**[51:25] Aka**
It'll be a real face-off.
**[51:30] Aka**
There'll be no carelessness
or underestimating.
**[51:36] Aka**
I want to fight him like that.
**[51:39] Aka**
In a real face-off.
**[51:43] Aka**
Or I would leave here, not knowing
what the real Washizu is like.
**[51:52] Aka**
When I see that weak form over there,
I see nothing but a feeble old man.
**[51:58] Aka**
Is it possible, though?
**[52:00] Aka**
For such a small person to
gain the title of the king
**[52:04] Aka**
ruling from the shadows
in just one generation?
**[52:08] Aka**
Could he have risen to such a lofty position?
**[52:15] Aka**
No.
**[52:17] Aka**
An ordinary person cannot aggrandize
himself to that degree.
**[52:21] Aka**
There's something to him.
**[52:23] Aka**
There's something deeper within him.
**[52:27] Aka**
And if that's true, we must see it.
**[52:31] Oug**
Akagi...
**[52:39] Aka**
That thing deep within.
**[52:44] Aka**
Washizu's true self...
**[52:48] Aka**
His source of power.

Twelve dora!
**[00:10] (Flashback) Oug**
Impossible!
**[00:12] (Flashback) Yas**
How can this happen?
**[00:14] (Flashback) ---**
They're pushing down on me.
**[00:18] (Flashback) Was**
They're pushing down on my
back with an unbelievable force.
**[00:25] (Flashback) Was**
Something demonic from the netherworld.
**[00:29] (Flashback) Was**
They're gathered in great numbers
and swarming around my back.
**[00:43] (Flashback) Was**
Ron.
**[00:45] (Flashback) Was**
Ron, ron, ron.
**[00:47] (Flashback) Was**
Ron!
**[00:49] (Flashback) Was**
I won, I won, I won.
**[00:52] (Flashback) Was**
Akagi, at last, you're...
**[00:55] (Flashback) Aka**
Old man.
**[00:57] (Flashback) Was**
What?
**[00:58] (Flashback) Aka**
Didn't you hear?
**[01:00] (Flashback) Was**
Hear what?
**[01:03] (Flashback) Yasu**
Ron.
**[01:05] (Flashback) Yasu**
Red dragon, one dora. 2,000 points.
**[01:07] (Flashback) Yasu**
It's a head bump.
**[01:09] (Flashback) was**
What the hell?!
**[01:10] (Flashback) Men**
Washizu-sama!
**[01:12] (Flashback) ---**
Calm down! Washizu-sama!
**[01:21] (Flashback) suz**
This is harsh.
**[01:22] (Flashback) Oku**
I'd actually say that it's already over.
**[01:27] (Flashback) Oug**
It's over, Akagi.
**[01:29] (Flashback) Oug**
He's not going to go for
the fifth and sixth game.
**[01:33] (Flashback) Aka**
It's not over yet.
**[01:34] (Flashback) Oug**
What?
**[01:41] (Flashback) Aka**
Washizu will keep going.
**[01:44] (Flashback) Aka**
There's something to him.
**[01:46] (Flashback) Aka**
There's something deeper within him.
**[01:50] (Flashback) Aka**
And if that's true, we must see it.
**[01:53] (Flashback) Oug**
Akagi....
**[01:55] (Flashback) Aka**
That thing deep within.
**[01:58] (Flashback) Aka**
Washizu's true self...
**[02:02] (Flashback) Aka**
His source of power.
**[02:41] Aka**
All right, then, let's go.
**[02:47] Aka**
Yasuoka-san...
**[02:49] Aka**
Can you push that for me?
**[02:54] Yasu**
Sure.
**[02:59] oug**
Hey, wait.
**[03:01] oug**
What are you thinking, Akagi?
**[03:05] suz**
What do you want?
**[03:07] Aka**
It's over.
**[03:09] Aka**
Break time is over. We're starting
the fifth and sixth game.
**[03:12] Yasu**
Akagi!
**[03:13] Oku**
Look at him.
**[03:14] Oku**
Washizu-sama is not in
a condition to continue.
**[03:19] Aka**
You okay with that, Washizu?
**[03:21] Aka**
Having your minion talk for you?
**[03:28] Aka**
Pretending to be asleep?
**[03:30] Aka**
Okay.
**[03:31] Aka**
Here, I'll wake you up.
**[03:36] Aka**
I'm going to borrow this.
**[03:47] Oug**
Hey, Akagi.
**[03:49] Oug**
What the hell are you doing?
**[03:53] Yasu**
That's the blood you have to transfuse back.
**[04:04] Oug**
What are you doing?!
**[04:05] Oug**
Hey!
**[04:06] Oug**
That's not sanitary!
**[04:08] Oug**
Even if it's a clean wash basin, it's not sterile!
**[04:10] Aka**
It doesn't matter.
**[04:12] Oug**
What do you mean, "doesn't matter"?
**[04:16] Aka**
I mean... this.
**[04:38] Oug**
G-Get it out!
**[04:45] Both**
Hey!
**[04:51] suz**
You're insane.
**[04:53] suz**
Where is the good in this?
**[04:57] Aka**
You awake now, Washizu?
**[05:04] Aka**
As you can see, I'm throwing away the
1,400 cc of blood I've lost thus far.
**[05:09] Aka**
How about matches five and six now?
**[05:11] Yasu**
What are you saying?
**[05:13] Oug**
Take that back! I'm not
going to let you do this.
**[05:18] Was**
And what about the blood I draw after this?
**[05:26] Aka**
I don't need that, either.
**[05:28] Aka**
You can throw it away as soon as you draw it.
**[05:30] Yasu**
Akagi, do you realize what you're saying?!
**[05:33] Oug**
This is suicide!
**[05:36] Was**
300 cc more.
**[05:39] Oug**
What?
**[05:42] Was**
Draw 300 cc more right now. As a bonus.
**[05:46] Oug**
What the hell are you saying?!
**[05:53] Aka**
Looks like you're feeling better.
**[05:56] Aka**
I could do that for you, but I won't.
**[06:02] Aka**
You'll have to win against me
if you want my blood, Washizu.
**[06:09] Was**
I just wanted to see how far
I could get by pushing my luck.
**[06:13] Was**
But you're pretty stingy.
**[06:16] Was**
Very well.
**[06:20] Was**
Shall we continue to the
fifth and sixth game?
**[06:26] suz**
But, Washizu-sama...
**[06:28] Was**
Don't worry.
**[06:31] Was**
I have an idea that will ensure
**[06:34] Was**
that this crazy brat dies for me today.
***SIGN*** Episode 5
***SIGN*** Washizu Mahjong
**[07:07] Nar**
Washizu Mahjong.
**[07:10] Nar**
These are the tiles used.
**[07:15] Nar**
Three of the four tiles in
each suit are transparent,
**[07:19] Nar**
making their faces visible even from the back,
**[07:23] Nar**
and only one is a regular tile
with a black back.
**[07:30] Nar**
No walls are built in Washizu Mahjong.
**[07:35] Nar**
Tiles for the starting hand and each draw are
taken from a hole in the middle of the table,
**[07:43] Nar**
wearing a leather glove on the right hand
to prevent feeling which tile is grabbed.
**[08:04] Nar**
Once the starting hands are drawn,
the dealer draws one more tile from the hole.
**[08:08] Nar**
This is the dora indicator.
**[08:13] Nar**
The same applies to reverse
dora and new dora from kan,
**[08:18] Nar**
which are drawn from the
hole when the need arises.
**[08:24] Nar**
If Akagi can survive through six East-South
matches with these rules, his side wins.
**[08:31] Nar**
Should he die before then,
**[08:35] Nar**
he will lose all that he had
amassed up to that point,
**[08:39] Nar**
and victory will go to Washizu's side.
***SIGN*** 1000 points = 1 million
**[08:42] Nar**
The rate is set at 1,000 points
being worth 1 million yen,
**[08:46] Nar**
or 100 cc of blood.
***SIGN*** 1000 points = 100 cc of blood
**[08:49] Nar**
It's a one-on-one match
between Akagi and Washizu.
**[08:53] Nar**
At the end of each East-South match,
points are tallied up, including rank bonuses.
**[08:58] Nar**
Additionally, bonus payments
are due every time a direct hit
**[09:04] Nar**
or a tsumo win causes points to trade
hands between Akagi and Washizu.
**[09:09] Nar**
These payments are made
immediately, in cash or blood.
**[09:18] Nar**
This is the essence of Washizu Mahjong.
***SIGN*** Washizu Mahjong
**[09:49] Oug**
Damn, I can't believe he did that.
**[09:52] Yasu**
There was no need to insist
on the fifth and sixth game.
**[09:56] Oug**
Not to mention throwing his blood away.
**[09:58] Oug**
It's beyond crazy!
**[10:00] Yasu**
Well, this time, it's not about
being this or that kind of genius.
**[10:04] Yasu**
He just looks like a lunatic
with a death wish.
**[10:08] Oug**
This guy is beyond anything
we can conceptualize.
**[10:13] Oug**
He really is a lunatic.
**[10:21] Yasu**
What's wrong?
**[10:22] Oug**
I need to get some air.
**[10:30] Yasu**
Akagi...
**[10:34] Yasu**
Why are you always like this?
**[10:38] Yasu**
So eager to throw your life
away at any chance you get?
**[10:42] Yasu**
Like that time. If we hadn't shown up...
**[10:47] (Flashback) Aka**
Nobody can change it.
**[10:50] (Flashback) Aka**
Even if a monster appeared who
can control the entire world,
**[10:58] (Flashback) Aka**
it can't change
**[11:01] (Flashback) Aka**
the fact that you will die,
and the outcome of a gamble.
**[11:12] Yasu**
That wasn't the only time.
**[11:14] Yasu**
If I hadn't stopped you, you would
have died countless times already.
**[11:23] Aka**
If my time comes to die,
then I only have to die.
**[11:28] Yasu**
You're wrong.
**[11:29] Yasu**
There are places you can only
reach by living a long life.
**[11:33] Yasu**
Besides,
**[11:34] Yasu**
someone with your gift should
not be dying in a place like this.
**[11:40] Aka**
You never change, Yasuoka-san.
**[11:43] Yasu**
Huh?
**[11:46] Aka**
You give these grand talks,
but all you're really after is money.
**[11:52] Aka**
Which means you can't have
me dying on you too quickly.
**[11:56] Aka**
Isn't that right?
**[12:02] Aka**
If it is, then be quiet and watch.
**[12:07] Yasu**
Be quiet and watch?
**[12:16] Yasu**
*I have to do something,*
**[12:18] Yasu**
* or he'll drag me down with him,*
* and we'll both go to Hell.*
**[12:34] Oku**
Washizu-sama, what is that idea
you had about killing Akagi?
**[12:42] Was**
That man is a different breed from all
the rabble I've killed up to this point.
**[12:51] Was**
He's...
**[12:54] Was**
a genius.
**[12:58] Was**
That's how he's seen through
all the traps I've set up to now.
**[13:05] Was**
There's no chance he'll play into my hand.
**[13:12] Was**
Trying nonetheless to pursue a
direct hit was my biggest flaw.
**[13:21] Was**
And winning by outranking him
is all the more impossible.
**[13:26] Oku**
Impossible?
**[13:28] Oku**
Then how do you intend to
go up against such a genius?
**[13:35] Was**
I'll limit wins to tsumo wins only.
**[13:39] Was**
Abandon the lure of having
my partner play into my hand,
**[13:43] Was**
direct hits on Akagi, or winning by rank.
**[13:47] Was**
I'll bet everything on tsumo wins.
**[13:51] Oku**
I see.
**[13:53] Oku**
But even with that strategy,
you have only 186.5 million yen left.
**[14:00] Oku**
Will that be enough to survive
the fifth and sixth game?
**[14:08] Was**
I will resolve that issue now.
**[14:14] Was**
Hey!
**[14:32] Oku**
Washizu-sama, what is that money?
**[14:35] Was**
My last secret savings.
**[14:38] Was**
A hundred million.
**[14:45] Was**
With this addition, I have 300 million left.
**[14:49] Was**
With this, I'm safe.
**[14:51] Was**
All I have to do is focus on taking
600 cc more of this kid's blood.
**[15:01] Was**
People die after they've
lost 2,000 cc of blood.
**[15:04] Was**
No exceptions. Even madmen and
those who don't fear death will die,
**[15:09] Was**
Akagi Shigeru.
**[15:12] Was**
Shall we begin, then?
***SIGN*** Fifth Game
***SIGN*** East Hand 1
**[15:37] Aka**
Chi.
**[15:42] Was**
*Tsumo wins.*
**[15:43] Was**
*I'm betting everything on tsumo wins.*
**[15:48] Was**
* This way, I'm sure to kill this man*
* sometime during the fifth or sixth game.*
**[15:58] Was**
*I'm in tenpai.*
**[16:03] Was**
*Looks like Suzuki has an 8 of characters.*
**[16:11] (Flashback) Was**
Riichi.
**[16:14] Was**
* Normally, this hand would be a*
* riichi, ippatsu, ittsuu, for a mangan.*
**[16:18] Was**
*8,000 points for having him play into my hand.*
**[16:21] (Flashback) Was**
Ron.
**[16:27] Was**
* But trying to win by rank against*
* Akagi is the worst possible course.*
**[16:34] Was**
*So this is it!*
**[16:38] Was**
Riichi!
**[16:42] Nar**
Washizu has a three-way wait on
the 2, 5, and 8 of characters.
**[16:47] Nar**
Instead of having Suzuki play into his
hand, he waits for a tsumo win.
**[16:51] Nar**
His ittsuu is gone, but if he draws a winner,
**[16:54] Nar**
he'd still have a menpin
tsumo worth 2,600 points.
***SIGN*** Menpin - Combines menzen and pinfu
**[16:57] Nar**
With even a single reverse dora
added, it will be 5,200 points.
**[17:00] Nar**
In that case, Akagi will owe him 1,300 points,
**[17:05] Nar**
or 130 cc of blood.
**[17:14] Nar**
However, in the same turn...
**[17:17] Aka**
Ron.
**[17:19] Aka**
Green dragon, one dora. 2,000.
**[17:21] Nar**
Akagi quickly nips this riichi in the bud.
**[17:25] Nar**
The game advances into East Hand 2
without a single draw for Washizu.
**[17:31] Was**
*Damn it...*
**[17:32] Was**
* But even if it didn't pan out now,*
* it will pan out sooner or later.*
**[17:38] Was**
*My draws are the one thing he can't control.*
***SIGN*** Fifth Game
***SIGN*** East Hand 2
**[18:14] Was**
*They're piling up.*
**[18:16] Was**
* I definitely don't want a*
* single wait for a chiitoitsu.*
**[18:19] Was**
*I'll go for a pinfu hand with multiple waits.*
**[18:25] Nar**
But contrary to his wishes, Washizu's hand
keeps moving toward a hand full of pairs.
**[18:37] Nar**
And then, on the sixth turn...
**[18:42] Was**
*I'm in a chiitoitsu tenpai.*
**[18:46] Was**
* I never thought this hand*
* would come together so fast.*
**[18:50] Was**
*What should I do?*
**[18:52] Was**
*What they see is this...*
**[18:58] Was**
*They can't possibly know I am in tenpai.*
**[19:02] Was**
*So I'll go with stealth.*
**[19:06] Was**
* I'll discard the 5 of bamboo and*
* wait on this opaque east wind.*
**[19:15] Was**
*Wait... He has one.*
**[19:18] Was**
*Akagi has an east wind in his hand.*
**[19:25] Was**
*A stealth wait on the black east wind?*
**[19:28] Was**
* This could be a chance given to me*
* by the heavens to take him down.*
**[19:42] Was**
*Fool.*
**[19:44] Was**
*That monster is not like that.*
**[19:48] Was**
*I could be waiting on a single black tile,*
**[19:50] Was**
* stealth or not, and he's*
* still not going to deal it.*
**[19:53] Was**
*So this hand goes like this.*
**[19:58] Was**
Riichi.
**[20:03] Was**
*Chiitoitsu, waiting on a clear 5 of bamboo.*
**[20:07] Was**
*This is fine.*
**[20:09] Was**
*I haven't seen any 5 of bamboo yet.*
**[20:12] Was**
*Even if he has an opaque 5 of bamboo,*
**[20:17] Was**
*there are still at least two left in the hole.*
**[20:23] Was**
*But that's not true of the east winds.*
**[20:26] Was**
* Akagi's got one, and the cop*
* discarded one on the first turn,*
**[20:31] Was**
*so there's only one left in the hole.*
**[20:35] Was**
* Which means my chance of*
* drawing the 5 of bamboo is*
**[20:39] Was**
* two to three times higher than*
* that of drawing the east wind.*
**[20:47] Nar**
*But even with this tsumo-driven riichi...*

Pinfu, iipeikou, one dora. 3,900.
***SIGN*** Fifth Game
***SIGN*** East Hand 3
**[21:19] Nar**
Washizu takes the initiative
in this hand, as well.
**[21:23] Nar**
On the eight turn, he declares riichi.
**[21:25] Nar**
His hand is another chiitoitsu.
**[21:27] Nar**
But once again...
**[21:32] Nar**
Akagi denies him.
**[21:34] Aka**
Tsumo.
**[21:35] Aka**
Chiitoitsu.
**[21:36] Aka**
800. 1,600.
**[21:37] Nar**
He had the same chiitoitsu as Washizu.
**[21:40] was**
Pay him.
**[21:40] nar**
Tsumo chiitoitsu, 3,200.
**[21:43] nar**
Akagi crushes Washizu's first-strike
riichi for the third time.
**[21:59] Oug**
All right.
**[22:00] Oug**
We made it through three of the 16
hands of the fifth and sixth games.
**[22:03] Oug**
Just 13 hands to go.
**[22:05] Yas**
I wondered how this would
go when we first started,
**[22:08] Yas**
but it's going better than I thought.
**[22:10] Yas**
Right, Akagi?
**[22:13] Aka**
I wonder.
***SIGN*** Fifth Game
***SIGN*** East Hand 4
**[22:48] Oug**
*All right!*
**[22:49] Oug**
*Not bad.*
**[22:51] Oug**
* Perfect to get a quick win as dealer*
* and build some momentum.*
**[22:58] Oug**
* On the other hand,*
* Washizu's hands are getting worse.*
**[23:02] Oug**
* I can't see the opaque tiles,*
* but it's obvious that*
**[23:06] Oug**
*his hand is worse than Akagi's.*
**[23:12] Oug**
*Looks like the luck has turned around.*
**[23:15] Oug**
*It's on Akagi's side now.*
**[23:25] Aka**
*This hand doesn't fit the situation.*
**[23:31] Aka**
* No matter how the hand advances,*
* it'll probably stagnate at a crucial point.*
**[23:36] Aka**
*That's the kind of tiles these are.*
**[23:39] Aka**
* In that respect, Washizu's*
* tiles seem much better.*
**[23:45] Aka**
*They're in tune with the current flow.*
**[23:49] Aka**
*The flow of pairs.*
**[23:51] Aka**
*Right now, the flow is just creating pairs.*
**[23:56] Aka**
*That itself is not threatening.*
**[24:04] Aka**
*Nor are his draws spectacular.*
**[24:08] Aka**
* What's scary is that pivotal*
* tile that will awaken Washizu.*
**[24:13] Aka**
*The east wind.*
**[24:16] Aka**
*If he pairs those, it'll be a problem.*
**[24:18] Aka**
*Things will get crazy.*
**[24:20] Aka**
*Washizu's luck will rise steeply.*
**[24:24] Aka**
*He'll start drawing like a monster.*
**[24:27] Aka**
*Having said that,*
**[24:28] Aka**
* Washizu still hasn't realized how*
* important that east wind is.*
**[24:32] Aka**
* He only has it because he*
* couldn't clean his hand up yet.*
**[24:35] Aka**
* Once his tiles are in order,*
* he'll definitely discard it.*
**[24:39] Aka**
*Meaning, in that sense,*
**[24:41] Aka**
* the slow progression of that hand*
* actually works in Washizu's favor.*
**[24:47] Aka**
* He hasn't noticed yet, but his*
* luck is incredibly high right now.*
**[25:15] Aka**
*He drew it. Interesting.*
**[25:19] Aka**
* I knew Washizu was on the receiving end*
* of immeasurable favor from somewhere.*
**[25:28] Oug**
*Yes!*
**[25:30] Oug**
*He's in tenpai, with a 3, 6 of characters wait.*
**[25:34] Oug**
*But Yasuoka doesn't have the 3 or 6.*
**[25:40] Oug**
*He can't deal it into his hand.*
**[25:45] Oug**
* Oh, looks like Yasuoka is also in*
* tenpai, with a 2, 5 of circles wait.*
**[25:49] Oug**
*But Akagi also doesn't have those tiles.*
**[25:53] Oug**
* Aww, when both of you*
* are in such a good spot!*
**[25:59] Nar**
On the other hand, Washizu
is steadily collecting tiles.
**[26:05] Was**
*I'm in tenpai.*
**[26:08] Was**
* A double pon wait on the 8 of*
* characters and the east wind.*
**[26:14] Was**
* Normally, I would hope for*
* a quick tsumo on a riichi,*
**[26:18] Was**
*but unfortunately, this wait is not good.*
**[26:22] Was**
*I see three each of the 8 and the east wind.*
**[26:26] Was**
*So there's only one left of each.*
**[26:28] Was**
*No, more importantly,*
**[26:32] Was**
*this hand is still in progress.*
**[26:35] Was**
*There are further changes ahead.*
**[26:37] Was**
*So don't rush.*
**[26:42] Was**
* All for greater certainty of killing*
* that monster with a tsumo.*
**[26:56] Was**
*The east wind.*
**[26:58] Was**
*With the east wind, I don't need riichi,*
**[27:00] Was**
* and the san ankou tsumo and the*
* east wind give me a mangan.*
***SIGN*** San ankou - Three concealed triplets.
**[27:03] Was**
* As the dealer, Akagi would*
* pay 4,000 points, or 400 cc.*
**[27:08] Was**
*That's a total of 1,800 cc.*
**[27:12] Was**
*I could kill him!*
**[27:23] Oug**
*It feels like he's in tenpai.*
**[27:26] Oug**
* Still, our side has the*
* overwhelming advantage.*
**[27:32] Oug**
* Their only hope is that Washizu*
* draws his winning tile.*
**[27:36] Oug**
* But we've got Akagi and Yasuoka in tenpai,*
* and they can play into each other's hands.*
**[27:50] Oug**
*There's a high chance we'll take this hand.*
**[27:53] Oug**
*We can get through this.*
**[28:04] Oug**
*Akagi drew an east wind!*
**[28:14] Oug**
*Of course he won't discard it.*
**[28:16] Oug**
*His tenpai is gone now.*
**[28:18] Oug**
* Damn it, he just had to draw*
* the east wind, of all tiles!*
**[28:23] Nar**
By drawing the east wind,
**[28:25] Nar**
Akagi has reduced Washizu's possible
winning tiles to only the 8 of characters.
**[28:42] Nar**
Washizu has a double pon wait on the
8 of characters and the east wind,
**[28:45] Nar**
but Yasuoka, unaware of that,
**[28:48] Nar**
sees two additional possible patterns:
**[28:53] Nar**
a 7 of characters edge wait,
**[28:57] Nar**
or a wait on the 6 and 9 of
characters and the east wind.
**[29:06] Yasu**
*This 9 of characters is too dangerous.*
**[29:09] Yasu**
*But we're on the 15th turn.*
**[29:12] Yasu**
*If I break my tenpai now, it's over.*
**[29:17] Yasu**
I want to make sure.
**[29:19] Yasu**
How many turns left until it's a draw?
**[29:21] Oku**
In Washizu Mahjong, the number of
closed or open kans is irrelevant.
**[29:25] Oku**
The game is a draw after 70 discarded tiles.
**[29:27] Oku**
That's the rule.
**[29:30] Yasu**
*Right now, there are 57 discarded tiles.*
**[29:34] Yasu**
*So that's 13 more tiles.*
**[29:37] Oug**
What happens with the payment of
the no-tenpai penalty in a draw?
**[29:41] Oug**
The rule that whenever points trade
hands between Akagi and Washizu,
**[29:47] Oug**
an appropriate amount of cash
or blood must also change hands.
**[29:51] Oku**
Of course, that applies here, too.
**[29:53] Oku**
If Washizu-sama is the only one in
tenpai when a draw is called,
**[29:56] Oku**
then along with the 1,000-point
no-tenpai penalty,
**[29:58] Oku**
Akagi has to pay 100 cc of blood.
**[30:01] oug**
What if one player from each team
is in tenpai when a draw is called?
**[30:09] Oku**
Then even with the no-tenpai penalty, we'd
consider the points to move between allies,
**[30:13] Oku**
so money and blood won't be paid.
**[30:17] Yasu**
I see.
**[30:20] Yasu**
*I can't fold now.*
**[30:22] Yasu**
* If I fold, the hand will be called a*
* draw with only Washizu in tenpai.*
**[30:27] Yasu**
* Akagi will have his blood extracted*
* and be another step closer to death.*
**[30:32] Yasu**
*I have to do something.*
**[30:37] Yasu**
* To protect Akagi's blood,*
* I have to stay in tenpai.*
**[30:57] Was**
*I have no interest in your tiles.*
**[31:01] Was**
*All I want is a tsumo, tsumo, tsumo!*
**[31:04] Was**
*Nothing else.*
**[31:06] Was**
* The east winds are gone, but there*
* is still one more 8 of characters.*
**[31:11] Was**
*A san ankou tsumo would be 5,200 points.*
**[31:13] Was**
*5,200 points...*
**[31:24] Was**
*I didn't get it.*
**[31:26] Was**
*Two draws left.*
**[31:29] Was**
*I have one winning tile, the 8 of characters.*
**[31:33] Was**
*Looks like this is as far as my hand goes.*
**[31:36] Was**
* If I declare riichi and draw that 8,*
* I'll have a guaranteed mangan, or more.*
**[31:41] Was**
* With some reverse dora, it could*
* go to a haneman, a baiman.*
**[31:45] Was**
* Now that the east winds are*
* out, I can declare riichi.*
**[32:06] Was**
*What was that feeling I just had?*
**[32:13] Was**
* Impossible... Could there still*
* be further changes ahead?*
**[32:19] Was**
*Is it telling me to wait?*
**[32:25] Was**
* I don't know what kind of change*
* is coming... I don't know, but...*
**[32:37] Was**
*There.*
**[32:38] Was**
*I'll put the riichi on hold.*
**[32:40] Was**
*I will obey*
**[32:41] Was**
* this premonition that has descended*
* upon me for the first time in so long...*
**[32:46] Was**
*This revelation!*
**[33:03] Was**
*That's right.*
**[33:04] Was**
*I haven't won with reason alone.*
**[33:08] Was**
* Sometimes, I was pushed forward by*
* something beyond human understanding.*
**[33:17] Was**
*There are two draws left.*
**[33:20] Was**
* If nothing changes with this draw,*
* I'll have no way to win this hand.*
**[33:29] Was**
*No good.*
**[33:36] Was**
*There's only one draw left, and normally,*
**[33:39] Was**
* this would be the time to declare*
* riichi, even if the chance is slim.*
**[33:44] Was**
*But...*
**[33:49] Was**
*I'm going to wait.*
**[33:51] Was**
*I will have faith in that revelation.*
**[34:25] Was**
* He drew the tile that was*
* supposed to be mine!*
**[34:39] Yasu**
Damn it...
**[34:40] Yasu**
I have no choice.
**[34:46] Yasu**
Do what you like.
**[34:53] Oku**
* I know you wanted a tsumo win,*
* but that's your last possible winning tile.*
**[34:59] Oku**
*There's nothing left to do but take this.*
**[35:02] Oku**
* Go for the 8 of characters*
* with the closed wait,*
**[35:04] Oku**
*and you'll get the 3,200 for the san ankou.*
**[35:07] Oku**
*It's not what you wanted, but right now...*
**[35:14] Was**
*Again...*
**[35:16] Was**
*You're telling me there is something more?*
**[35:19] Was**
*That this hand could still change yet again?*
**[35:24] Was**
*Then show me.*
**[35:26] Was**
*Show me this hand's true form.*
**[35:54] Was**
I see it...
**[35:58] Was**
The possibility.
**[36:01] Oku**
Possibility?
**[36:04] Was**
Kan!
**[36:08] Yasu**
Why?
**[36:13] Oku**
Washizu-sama, what is the meaning of this?
**[36:18] Was**
You boys wouldn't understand.
**[36:20] Was**
To you, divine revelations are
a completely foreign concept.
**[36:29] Was**
Well, shall we, Akagi Shigeru?
**[36:42] Was**
First, let's draw the new dora indicator.
**[36:55] Was**
And now, the dead wall draw.
**[37:19] Was**
Kan!
**[37:20] Suz**
Huh?
**[37:27] Was**
Now...
**[37:31] Was**
the new dora indicator.
**[37:39] Was**
And next...
**[37:43] Was**
the dead wall draw.
**[38:01] Oku**
*What an unbelievable idea.*
**[38:03] Oku**
* In other words, Washizu-sama*
* set out to rebuild his hand.*
**[38:06] Oku**
* He abandoned the impossible*
* wait on the 8 of characters*
**[38:11] Oku**
* and created a new tenpai with a*
* greater chance for a tsumo win!*
**[38:14] Oku**
*Bizarre...*
**[38:15] Oku**
*That idea is much too bizarre.*
**[38:19] Oku**
*Wait a minute.*
**[38:21] Oku**
*This hand has the form of a tenpai, but no yaku.*
**[38:29] Was**
Here.
**[38:34] Suz**
Pon.
**[38:36] Yasu**
What?
**[38:42] Aka**
The order's changed.
**[38:44] oug**
Huh?
**[38:45] Aka**
The last draw.
**[38:47] Aka**
Now Washizu gets the last draw.
**[38:50] oug**
What?
**[38:56] oug**
Oh, right...
**[38:57] oug**
In Washizu Mahjong, a draw is
declared after 70 discards.
**[39:01] oug**
Akagi, as dealer, has 17 discards.
**[39:03] oug**
Yasuoka has 16.
**[39:05] oug**
Suzuki has 17.
**[39:07] oug**
And right now, Washizu has 17,
making a total of 67 tiles.
**[39:10] oug**
Which means...
**[39:13] Oku**
Washizu-sama draws the last tile!
**[39:15] Oku**
He's back!
**[39:16] Oku**
He can win now, with a haitei tsumo!
***SIGN*** Haitei - Another name for haitei raoyue. 1 han is added if a player wins on the last discard.
**[39:21] Was**
You see? There was a tsumo win left.
**[39:27] Oku**
*It's a 4 of characters wait.*
**[39:28] Oku**
* For now, we can only see*
* one of them, in Akagi's hand.*
**[39:33] Oku**
*It doesn't look like*
**[39:35] Oku**
* the opaque 4 of characters is in*
* either Yasuoka's or Akagi's hand.*
**[39:39] Oku**
* Which means there are still three*
* 4 of characters waiting in the hole.*
**[39:45] Oku**
* Currently, there are a total*
* of 67 discarded tiles.*
***SIGN*** Discarded Tiles Tiles
**[39:48] oku**
*There are 52 tiles in the hands.*
***SIGN*** Tiles in Hands Tiles
**[39:51] oku**
*Adding the two tiles from the kans makes it 54,*

***SIGN*** Dora Indicators Tiles
**[39:55] oku**

***SIGN*** Total Number Tiles
**[40:01] oku**
*Altogether, there are 136 tiles in Mahjong...*

*So if you subtract the 124, that leaves 12 tiles.*
***SIGN*** Tiles
***SIGN*** Tiles
**[40:11] oku**
*Three of those are 4 of character tiles.*
**[40:15] oku**
* No, once Washizu-sama draws,*
* there will be only ten tiles left.*
**[40:19] oku**
* That means he has a three-in-ten*
* chance of drawing the 4!*
**[40:24] oku**
*He did it!*
**[40:25] oku**
* The way he's going now,*
* he'll win this for sure.*
**[40:27] oku**
*With a 30% chance, he will draw it for sure.*
**[40:38] Nar**
At this point, Akagi is not in tenpai.
**[40:42] Nar**
He can't rely on his own resources
to stop Washizu's haitei tsumo.
**[40:47] Nar**
The only hope left is playing into
Yasuoka's 2, 5 of circles wait.
**[40:53] Nar**
However, there is only one of each
**[40:57] Nar**
of those tiles left in the hole.
**[41:10] Was**
Don't get smug.
**[41:15] Was**
No one can stop me,
now that my hand is in this state.
**[41:21] oug**
Which one is it?
**[41:23] oug**
Did you draw it, or...
**[41:27] Aka**
Washizu, your hand is dead, isn't it?
**[41:32] Was**
What was that?
**[41:35] Aka**
Reviving a dead hand and letting it
lurch around is just a nuisance.
**[41:41] Was**
What?
**[41:44] Aka**
Return to the grave.
**[41:54] oug**
Oh, yes!
**[41:57] oug**
Come on, Yasuoka!
**[42:01] oug**
What's wrong?
**[42:03] oug**
That's your winning tile, right?
**[42:11] Was**
He can't do it.
**[42:14] oug**
He can't?
**[42:15] oug**
What's that supposed to mean?
**[42:21] was**
Six dora.
**[42:26] oug**
Oh, my God! Yasuoka got a bunch of kan dora!
**[42:30] oug**
All of his iipeikou tiles are dora. Six dora...
**[42:36] oug**
Pinfu, iipeikou, six dora,
that's eight... A baiman?!
**[42:43] was**
A baiman is 16,000 points.
**[42:47] was**
Akagi will fall to last place.
**[42:51] was**
I'll be 9,000 points ahead of Akagi
and overtake him to be in third place.
**[42:58] was**
Well... If you think about it rationally,
**[43:04] was**
perhaps you should just leave it be?
**[43:11] was**
My hand only has the haitei
with 50 fu. 1,600 points.
**[43:18] was**
As dealer, Akagi will pay me
**[43:20] was**
800 points.
**[43:23] was**
It's just 80 cc of blood.
That won't kill him.
**[43:28] was**
Not to mention, he has a higher chance
**[43:33] was**
of not drawing this 4 of
characters than of drawing it.
**[43:39] yas**
Damn, what should I do?
**[43:43] aka**
Yasuoka-san, don't be misled
by the whispers of a demon.
**[43:51] aka**
Right now, you must not let
Washizu get another draw.
**[43:58] yas**
*That's true, but if I win this hand,*
**[44:02] yas**
* you'll fall to last place,*
* 8,900 points behind Washizu.*
**[44:06] yas**
*Even so...*
**[44:08] yas**
*Would you still do something, Akagi?*
**[44:14] (Flashback) oug**
Hey, what the hell are you doing?
**[44:18] (Flashback) oug**
What are you doing?!
**[44:20] (Flashback) Aka**
I mean... this.
**[44:28] yas**
*It's no good.*
**[44:30] yas**
*If I put my life in his hands, I'll be killed, too.*
**[44:35] yas**
*I have to do something.*
**[44:37] yas**
*Isn't there anything I can do?*
**[44:48] ---**
Chi.
**[44:53] oug**
Oh, of course!
**[44:56] oug**
You just had to call.
**[44:58] oug**
That bumps Washizu off the last draw.
**[45:00] oug**
That means his tenpai has
no yaku. He can't win.
**[45:04] oug**
Of course, with a chi,
Akagi doesn't have to pay, either.
**[45:10] yas**
All right, we survived.
**[45:13] Aka**
No.
**[45:16] Aka**
That was a call you shouldn't have made.
**[45:19] yas**
Right now, we needed to give
Washizu no opportunity at all.
**[45:23] yas**
But now he doesn't get the last draw.
He can't get his haitei win anymore.
**[45:30] aka**
There's more left.
**[45:32] yas**
Huh?
**[45:34] aka**
The haitei win is just the outside.
**[45:36] aka**
That hand has a hidden side to it.
**[45:40] aka**
And that's the side that is truly frightening.
**[45:45] yas**
A hidden side?
**[45:50] was**
What?
**[46:03] was**
I see.
**[46:06] was**
If you hadn't said it,
I might not have even realized.
**[46:11] was**
Oh, well. All I can do is draw anyway.
**[46:17] yas**
Akagi, what is going on here?
**[46:20] yas**
Without the last draw, he has no yaku!
**[46:22] was**
Just watch.
**[46:25] was**
I'll educate you.
**[46:33] oug**
What?!
**[46:34] was**
Kan.
**[46:39] was**
San kantsu, rinshan kaihou, 60 fu,
3 han. That's 8,000 points.
***SIGN*** San kantsu - A hand of three kans. Rinshan kaihou - Winning off the extra tile drawn when you declare a kan.
**[46:45] yas**
You're kidding me! How is that possible?
**[46:48] was**
Now, let's see the new dora indicator.
**[46:56] suz**
What?
**[47:04] was**
So this is what Akagi was talking about.
**[47:14] yas**
So now it's san kantsu,
rinshan kaihou, four dora.
**[47:21] was**
With the four dora, I have
7 han, meaning a haneman.
**[47:23] ---**
That's 12,000 points.
**[47:24] was**
As dealer, Akagi will pay 6,000
points and 600 cc of blood.
**[47:31] was**
With the 1,400 from before,
that's exactly 2,000.
**[47:36] was**
The lethal amount.
**[47:38] yas**
Akagi.
**[47:41] was**
When God created humans,
**[47:44] was**
He carved a seal of fear into
their hearts, the fear of death.
**[47:47] was**
That's why humans prostrate
themselves before God.
**[47:51] was**
But this brat does not fear God,
the heavens, or death!
**[47:56] was**
There is no greater insolence!
**[48:05] was**
The heavens just commanded
me to carry out your execution.
**[48:21] aka**
I see.
**[48:23] aka**
If that's the case, though,
that must be some stupid god.
**[48:31] was**
What makes you so confident?
**[48:35] aka**
You'll see soon.
**[48:37] aka**
So go on. Draw it already.
**[48:43] was**
Still playing tough...
**[48:51] was**
Ready, then? As you wish,
**[48:56] was**
I'll kill you now.
**[49:17] yas**
*Damn it. It's my fault.*
**[49:21] yas**
*I'm responsible.*
**[49:23] yas**
*I was naïve.*
**[49:26] yas**
*I should have just won earlier.*
**[49:29] yas**
* We're not in a realm where I can*
* make my own judgment calls.*
**[49:35] yas**
*Akagi... Only Akagi saw that.*
**[49:43] yas**
* The godly draws that Washizu can make,*
* and the terrifying nature of them.*
**[49:51] yas**
*Please, don't draw the 4 of characters.*
**[49:55] yas**
*If he doesn't, then I'm sure Akagi will win.*
**[50:00] yas**
*Akagi is better than anyone else here.*
**[50:04] yas**
*Yes, even better than Washizu.*
**[50:14] yas**
Don't draw it...
**[50:15] yas**
Don't draw it.
**[50:16] yas**
Don't draw it. Don't draw it. Don't draw it!
**[50:18] yas**
Don't draw it!
**[50:34] was**
The oracle has spoken.
**[50:50] was**
God has chosen me.
**[50:57] was**
Extract 600 cc of blood.
**[51:06] was**
In other words, you're going
to die, Akagi Shigeru.

**[00:07] (Flashback) Aka**
Washizu, your hand is dead, isn't it?
**[00:11] (Flashback) Aka**
Reviving a dead hand and letting it
lurch around is just a nuisance.
**[00:16] (Flashback) Aka**
Return to the grave.
**[00:22] (Flashback) oug**
Oh, yes!
**[00:24] (Flashback) oug**
Come on, Yasuoka!
**[00:26] (Flashback) oug**
What's wrong?
**[00:27] (Flashback) oug**
That's your winning tile, right?
**[00:32] (Flashback) Was**
He can't do it.
**[00:37] (Flashback) oug**
Oh, my God! Yasuoka got a bunch of kan dora!
**[00:41] (Flashback) yas**
Damn, what should I do?
**[00:50] (Flashback) yas**
Chi.
**[00:54] (Flashback) Aka**
That was a call you shouldn't have made.
**[00:57] (Flashback) Aka**
Right now, we needed to give
Washizu no opportunity at all.
**[01:01] (Flashback) Yasu**
But now he doesn't get the last draw.
He can't get his haitei win anymore.
**[01:07] (Flashback) Aka**
There's more left.
**[01:08] (Flashback) Was**
Just watch.
**[01:11] (Flashback) Was**
I'll educate you.
**[01:19] (Flashback) ---**
What?!
**[01:20] (Flashback) Was**
Kan!
**[01:23] (Flashback) Was**
Now, let's see the new dora indicator.
**[01:32] (Flashback) oug**
What?
**[01:34] (Flashback) oug**
So now it's san kantsu,
rinshan kaihou, four dora.
**[01:39] (Flashback) Was**
The heavens just commanded
me to carry out your execution.
**[01:46] Yas**
*Please, just don't pull the 4 of characters.*
**[01:50] Yas**
*If he doesn't, then I'm sure Akagi will win.*
**[02:02] (Flashback) Was**
The oracle has spoken.
**[02:14] (Flashback) Was**
God has chosen me.
**[02:33] Was**
Extract the blood!
**[02:38] Was**
Akagi Shigeru...
**[02:47] Was**
2,000 cc is a fatal amount.
**[02:53] Was**
Hey.
**[02:56] Was**
You are about to begin your journey to death.
**[03:03] Was**
It is your right to face your death
without crying or screaming.
**[03:10] Was**
However, you really are a strange one.
**[03:15] Was**
You don't even tremble.
**[03:18] Was**
You are a true madman.
**[03:29] Oku**
We'll start with the first 100 cc.
**[03:33] Was**
Go ahead.
**[04:16] Oku**
The total amount of blood we've
drawn is now 1,500 cc.
**[04:22] Oku**
Here's the second vial.
**[04:25] Oku**
Altogether, it's 1,600 cc.
**[04:29] Was**
Good, good, good, good.
**[04:31] Was**
Watching a man laugh as he dies
is quite entertaining, too.
**[04:36] Oku**
1,700 cc in total.
**[04:40] Oku**
1,800 cc in total.
**[04:43] Oku**
This is now 1,900 cc in total.
**[04:48] Was**
I'm impressed!
**[04:49] Was**
With your small build, I was sure you'd
be dead once we withdrew 1,900 cc.
**[04:56] Was**
What a frightening will and
surprising resilience you have.
**[05:05] Was**
100 cc more and it will be over.
**[05:09] Was**
What a short life it was.
**[05:12] Was**
Go.
**[05:14] Oku**
Yes, sir.
**[05:39] Was**
The fading consciousness...
**[05:42] Was**
The angel of death drawing closer...
**[05:48] Was**
I'm about to enjoy a pleasure
**[05:54] Was**
I've never felt before, in my 75 years of life.
**[06:41] Yas**
Akagi...
**[06:44] oug**
Akagi!
**[06:45] Yas**
Akagi!
**[06:47] oug**
Hey, Akagi!
**[06:50] oug**
Hey!
**[06:52] oug**
Akagi!
**[07:00] oug**
What a bizarre battle that was.
**[07:06] oug**
Thinking back, it was absurd from the start.
**[07:11] oug**
It was a mad showdown.
**[07:17] oug**
Akagi...
***SIGN*** Akagi Shigeru
**[07:21] oug**
Because you had to say something like that...
**[07:29] (Flashback) Aka**
It's not enough.
**[07:31] (Flashback) Aka**
That rate won't destroy you.
**[07:36] (Flashback) Aka**
I want the rate to be increased tenfold.
**[07:42] oug**
You had so many chances to
get back the blood you lost.
**[07:48] (Flashback) oug**
Let's return all of the 1,100 cc
of blood you've lost!
**[07:52] (Flashback) Aka**
I don't need it.
**[07:53] (Flashback) Aka**
Just give it all to me in money.
**[07:55] (Flashback) oug**
Akagi, are you in your right mind?
**[07:57] (Flashback) yas**
What are you talking about?
This is the time to replenish!
**[08:02] oug**
And then, on top of it all, you did *that*...
**[08:07] (Flashback) Yas**
What are you doing?!
**[08:09] (Flashback) Aka**
I mean... this.
**[08:15] oug**
You did well to pull through, despite all that.
**[08:23] oug**
That time, though...
**[08:27] oug**
Just that one time, I really
thought your life was over.
***SIGN*** Strong Man
Supplement and Tonic
**[08:39] oug**
I never would've thought you
had done such a crazy thing.
**[08:56] Yas**
Akagi!
**[09:00] Yas**
Hey!
**[09:03] Yas**
Akagi!
**[09:12] Was**
It's over!
**[09:15] Was**
Take all of this money over there, to my vault.
**[09:19] Oku**
Yes, sir.
**[09:24] Was**
Ougi, time to fulfill your promise.
**[09:27] Was**
Tie him up over there!
**[09:33] Was**
We'll cut off his arm!
**[09:34] Was**
Hey! Get my sword!
**[09:36] ---**
Yes, sir.
**[09:38] Yasu**
Wait!
**[09:40] Yasu**
The money's fine, but his arm—
**[09:42] Was**
Do you want to give up yours in his place, then?
**[09:46] Yasu**
No...
**[09:48] Was**
How many millions of yen do you
think this man made me wager?
**[09:54] Was**
It only makes sense that I get his arm.
**[09:56] Was**
You will fulfill the promise
we made as men. Give me that.
**[10:00] Was**
I will remove your arm myself.
**[10:04] Was**
Oh, it'll hurt a bit, but it'll be
over before you know it.
**[10:31] Yas**
Akagi...
**[10:58] oug**
Akagi!
**[11:03] Was**
You bastard!
***SIGN*** Episode 6
***SIGN*** Washizu Mahjong
**[11:26] Nar**
Washizu Mahjong.
**[11:29] Nar**
These are the tiles used.
**[11:34] Nar**
Three of the four tiles in
each suit are transparent,
**[11:37] Nar**
making their faces visible even from the back,
**[11:42] Nar**
and only one is a regular tile with a black back.
**[11:49] Nar**
No walls are built in Washizu Mahjong.
**[11:53] Nar**
Tiles for the starting hand and each draw are
taken from a hole in the middle of the table,
**[12:02] Nar**
wearing a leather glove on the right hand
to prevent feeling which tile is grabbed.
**[12:22] Nar**
Once the starting hands are drawn,
the dealer draws one more tile from the hole.
**[12:26] Nar**
This is the dora indicator.
**[12:31] Nar**
The same applies to reverse
dora and new dora from kan,
**[12:37] Nar**
which are drawn from the
hole when the need arises.
**[12:43] Nar**
If Akagi can survive through six East-South
matches with these rules, his side wins.
**[12:49] Nar**
Should he die before then,
**[12:53] Nar**
he will lose all that he had
amassed up to that point,
**[12:57] Nar**
and victory will go to Washizu's side.
***SIGN*** 1000 points = 1 million
**[13:01] Nar**
The rate is set at 1,000 points
being worth 1 million yen,
**[13:04] Nar**
or 100 cc of blood.
***SIGN*** 1000 points = 100 cc of blood
**[13:08] Nar**
It's a one-on-one match
between Akagi and Washizu.
**[13:11] Nar**
At the end of each East-South match,
points are tallied up, including rank bonuses.
**[13:17] Nar**
Additionally, bonus payments
are due every time a direct hit
**[13:22] Nar**
or a tsumo win causes points to trade
hands between Akagi and Washizu.
**[13:28] Nar**
These payments are made
immediately, in cash or blood.
**[13:36] Nar**
This is the essence of Washizu Mahjong.
***SIGN*** Washizu Mahjong
**[13:47] oug**
Akagi!
**[13:49] oug**
Are you all right?
**[13:51] Aka**
I'm okay, kind of.
**[13:54] Was**
Why are you alive?!
**[13:56] Was**
Why can you talk?!
**[14:00] Aka**
A transfusion...
**[14:02] Was**
Transfusion?!
**[14:06] Was**
You haven't taken a single
drop of your blood back!
**[14:09] Aka**
Not here, no.
**[14:11] Was**
"'Not here"?!
**[14:14] Aka**
Once the secret is revealed, it's simple.
**[14:17] Aka**
Two weeks before I came to this match,
**[14:20] Aka**
I had about 500 cc of blood
withdrawn at a hospital.
**[14:26] Was**
You had blood withdrawn?
**[14:29] Aka**
Apparently, that's the limit
**[14:34] Aka**
to the amount of blood you can
add back into your own body.
**[14:41] Aka**
Then, on the way here,
**[14:47] Aka**
I went to the hospital and
had that 500 cc put back.
**[14:57] (Flashback) oug**
You're late. Where the hell have you been?
**[14:59] (Flashback) Yas**
Getting this from someone
I know who works at a hospital.
***SIGN*** Tough-pon Tonic
**[15:02] (Flashback) Yas**
He's saying he won't even have a cup
of tea poured by the other side.
**[15:10] Aka**
Basically, I had my transfusion
done before the game started.
**[15:16] Yas**
Akagi...
**[15:18] Yas**
You're saying you didn't go just for these?
***SIGN*** Tough-pon
Tonic
**[15:26] Aka**
In other words, when I came here,
**[15:30] Aka**
I got back the blood I'd had drawn,
**[15:33] Aka**
so I had my original 4,500 cc of blood plus
**[15:38] Aka**
the 500 cc I'd had drawn, so 5,000 cc altogether.
**[15:45] Aka**
You might call it a hidden stash.
**[15:50] Aka**
Something you're familiar with.
**[15:55] Was**
I will kill you.
**[15:56] guys**
Washizu-sama!
**[15:58] ---**
Let go!
**[16:15] Was**
We're taking a break!
**[16:38] oug**
Damn, you really surprised me.
**[16:41] Yas**
A transfusion before the game, huh?
**[16:45] oug**
Are you feeling all right, though?
**[16:49] Aka**
I felt a little weak before, but I'm fine now.
**[16:52] Aka**
Although...
**[16:55] Aka**
If I had to say, it's my fingertips...
**[16:59] Yas**
Are they numb?
**[17:00] Aka**
Yeah.
**[17:03] Aka**
But I don't have any problem handling the tiles.
**[17:08] Yas**
Then we're good.
**[17:09] oug**
You should get some rest.
**[17:11] oug**
Luckily, the other side is taking a break, too.
**[17:13] oug**
Since you're weak—
**[17:14] Aka**
No, I don't think that's true.
**[17:17] Yas**
What?
**[17:21] Aka**
I'm not the one who's weakened right now.
**[17:24] Aka**
Washizu is.
**[17:29] Aka**
Resting now would be giving
my enemy a helping hand.
**[17:34] Aka**
If I rest now, it'll get away...
**[17:37] Aka**
That uncertainty Washizu has finally
shown for the first time in this battle.
**[17:41] oug**
Akagi...
**[17:44] Aka**
It's a one in a thousand chance.
**[17:47] Aka**
This is the time to make my move. Right now.
**[17:50] oug**
Akagi...
**[17:54] Aka**
His life is smoking.
**[17:58] Aka**
With the backlash from his false celebration,
**[18:01] Aka**
that godlike vitality Washizu has is
beginning to smoke like a fine mist.
**[18:15] Aka**
I won't let this chance slip away!
**[18:37] Oku**
Washizu-sama! Washizu-sama!
**[18:41] Oku**
Instead of insisting on tsumo wins,
**[18:43] Oku**
why not try to win by ranking instead?
**[18:45] suz**
Please remember that
haneman tsumo from earlier.
**[18:48] suz**
At that point, you were
clearly at an advantage.
**[18:52] suz**
He's only kept himself alive through
the cowardly trick of a transfusion.
**[18:57] suz**
Don't insist on tsumo wins.
Just win by outranking him!
**[19:02] oku**
It doesn't matter if he's
a demon or a monster.
**[19:04] oku**
We just have to prevent him from playing.
**[19:06] oku**
Focus on the tag team play with Suzuki.
**[19:08] oku**
If your hand is cheap, you can
deal into Suzuki's hand, too,
**[19:11] oku**
so we can finish each hand quickly.
**[19:14] oku**
Do that, and it'll be over in four hands.
**[19:16] oku**
Even someone like Akagi
will have a hard time.
**[19:21] oku**
You should play a totally ordinary game.
**[19:23] oku**
Forget for now that you're up against Akagi,
**[19:25] oku**
and play like you always do, Washizu-sama.
**[19:27] oku**
If you do that, you'll win for sure!

Well, this is fine.
**[21:20] Oku**
That was an irregular play.
**[21:21] Oku**
He forced his hand to align
to your isolated 4 of circles.
**[21:25] Oku**
The 1,300 he got wasn't worth the effort it took.
**[21:31] Oku**
You didn't win, but judging from
your waits and the dora at the end,
**[21:36] Oku**
the wind is blowing in your favor for sure.
**[21:41] Oku**
You didn't throw the game.
**[21:43] Oku**
You pressed forward without giving up.
**[21:46] Oku**
And as long as that is true,
your time will surely come.
**[21:49] Oku**
It's Akagi who is suffering.
**[21:57] oug**
Are your fingers still numb?
**[22:00] Aka**
I told you.
**[22:02] Aka**
It doesn't affect my tile handling.
**[22:04] oug**
Good, then.

* He's in tenpai again,*
* but it's a similar situation.*
**[22:27] Oku**
*The tile he wants to discard the most,*
**[22:29] Oku**
*the 3 of characters, is Akagi's winning tile.*
**[22:33] Oku**
*That looks like a circles ittsuu hand.*
**[22:37] Oku**
*He's probably waiting on a 3, 6 of characters.*
**[22:40] Oku**
*This is rough.*
**[22:42] Oku**
* If he discards the 3 of characters,*
* Suzuki could play into his hand right away.*
**[22:47] Oku**
*It would be exactly like the previous hand.*
**[22:50] Oku**
*Normally, this 3 of characters wouldn't pass.*
**[22:54] Oku**
* But shouldn't he just close his*
* eyes and try again one last time?*
**[22:59] Oku**
* If it passes, he'll have a mentanpin,*
* ippatsu, with one dora.*
**[23:03] Oku**
*A guaranteed mangan.*
**[23:05] Oku**
*Besides, even if he is Akagi,*
**[23:09] Oku**
* he can't align his hand to win off*
* of our leftover tiles every time!*
**[23:14] Oku**
* So make just one more*
* strong play, Washizu-sama.*
**[23:21] Oku**
*One of Akagi's safe tiles.*
**[23:23] Oku**
* He couldn't discard it, and now he*
* has a single 3 of characters wait...*
**[23:27] Oku**
* A move that's both safe*
* and possibly lucrative.*
**[23:31] Yasu**
Ron.
**[23:32] Yasu**
Red dragon, two dora.
**[23:33] Yasu**
That's 5,200 points.
**[23:39] Oku**
*We weren't cautious enough.*
**[23:41] Oku**
* We were so concentrated on Akagi,*
* we didn't pay attention to Yasuoka.*
**[23:51] Oku**
*The opaque 8 of circles?*
**[23:53] Oku**
*That means Akagi's ittsuu was...*
**[23:59] Oku**
*He wasn't in tenpai!*
**[24:08] Was**
Damn it.
**[24:26] Was**
Another glass.
**[24:27] Oku**
Yes, sir.
**[24:28] Oku**
Get some water.
**[24:29] guy**
Yes.
**[24:33] oug**
The other side is getting restless,
even though we're technically still losing.
**[24:38] Yasu**
Washizu is 3,100 points ahead...
**[24:43] oug**
We've got two hands left.
**[24:44] oug**
I know you can turn this around.
**[24:47] Aka**
Ougi-san, you really shouldn't
underestimate Washizu's brute luck.
**[24:52] oug**
But he threw out that obvious 4 of circles,
**[24:55] oug**
and he was completely
oblivious to Yasuoka's tenpai.
**[24:58] oug**
Doesn't seem like their
side is particularly calm.
**[25:01] Aka**
Still, they're getting their hands together.
**[25:07] Aka**
If we want to kill him, this isn't enough.
**[25:12] oug**
Akagi, beating him in rank
is good enough for this game.
**[25:16] Yasu**
He's right.
**[25:17] Yasu**
Aiming for a big hand now is
just digging your own grave.
**[25:20] Yasu**
For now, focus on getting your strength
back for the sixth game, okay?
**[25:25] Aka**
That would be boring.

*All right.*
**[27:00] Oku**
* He's cleaning up the 8 and 9 of*

*Good! One tile away from tenpai.*
**[27:42] Was**
*The problem is him,*

* Of course he would have something*

Akagi...
**[28:18] Aka**
Sorry.
**[28:26] Was**
*The cat's out of the bag.*

**[28:39] Was**
*He's weakening now.*

*The monster is starting to weaken.*

*In any case, he cannot discard that west wind.*
**[28:50] Was**
*It's not an easy tile to discard.*
**[28:53] Was**
*Because as far as he can see...*
**[29:00] Was**
*My waits are on a west wind or an 8 of circles.*
**[29:09] Was**
*My yaku is a 5-6-7 sanshoku.*
**[29:12] Was**

**[29:36] Was**
*He'll stop here.*
**[29:38] Was**
*If he doesn't stop, he's not human.*
**[29:52] Was**
*So, what will he decide?*
**[30:05] Was**
*I knew it.*
**[30:07] Was**
*He evaded it.*
**[30:10] Was**
*This proves that his spirit has weakened.*
**[30:15] Was**
* The monster Akagi has finally...*
* finally become evasive.*
**[30:22] Was**
* He's afraid of my tenpai*
* with the west wind dora,*
**[30:26] Was**
*so he kept the west wind. He's out!*
**[30:30] Was**
*He's out of this game!*
**[30:32] Was**
* And so long as you can't collect*
* more of those west winds,*
**[30:37] Was**
*you'll be stuck here forever.*
**[30:40] Was**
*All right! I won't lose this chance!*
**[30:42] Was**
* Let's take advantage of*
* his rut and his weakness!*
**[30:49] Was**
* Damn it, I need to get in tenpai,*

**[30:55] Was**

*The 5 of circles, or the 6, 7, 8 of circles.*

*This is bad.*
**[32:48] Was**
*The cop is going to deal into his hand!*
**[32:51] Was**
Wait.
**[32:55] Was**
Pon.
**[33:03] Yasu**
Three dora.
**[33:24] Oku**
Washizu-sama, why did you call that pon?
**[33:28] Was**
The question is, why did
he discard the west wind?
**[33:35] Oku**
If you think about it,
you do still have the lead over him.
**[33:40] Oku**
With only two hands left,
he can't afford to be timid.
**[33:46] Oku**
If that cop can deal into his hand,
especially, of course he'll play boldly.
**[33:51] Oku**
If he wastes time and you win,
**[33:53] Oku**
you'll increase your lead further
with only the last hand left.
**[33:57] suz**
He'll be in even worse trouble.
**[33:59] suz**
In his mind, since he's weakened,
he has no other choice.
**[34:02] Was**
No matter how dangerous the tile?
**[34:07] Oku**
Washizu-sama, are you saying you made that
move because it seemed likely that Akagi
**[34:11] Oku**
would discard the west wind to get into tenpai,
then have the cop deal into his hand?
**[34:15] Was**
If I called on the west wind and got into tenpai,
**[34:17] Was**
I could count on Suzuki drawing a 5 of circles
and dealing it into my hand on the next turn.
**[34:22] Was**
It would be a sanshoku with
three dora, a mangan win.
**[34:27] Oku**
We can overcome him, even if it's by a
small margin. We can beat Akagi Shigeru!
**[34:46] Was**
*Now, draw, Suzuki!*
**[34:50] Was**
*The 5 of circles!*
**[34:52] Was**
*We'll win if you draw the 5 of circles.*
**[34:54] Was**
*Get me the 5 of circles.*
**[35:05] Was**
*Not this time. Damn it.*
**[35:13] Was**
*Is it over?*
**[35:15] Was**
*Will the cop play into his hand and end it?*
**[35:19] Was**
*How much is Akagi's hand worth?*
**[35:23] Was**
*Is it enough to upset my 3,100 point lead,*
**[35:27] Was**
*and put him back on top?*
**[35:37] Was**
Huh?
**[35:41] Was**
*What?*
**[35:43] Was**
*You're not going to win?*
**[35:47] Was**
*That means...*
**[35:50] Was**
*You discarded that incredibly dangerous tile,*
**[35:52] Was**
*the tile that could seal your death,*
**[35:53] Was**
* with no guarantee that your partner*
* would deal you the winning tile?*
**[36:03] Was**
How dare you...
**[36:13] Was**
*Yet another of his absurd plays...*
**[36:17] Was**
* He was playing me again with*
* his madness, his insanity.*
**[36:24] Was**
*I didn't have to call on that.*
**[36:27] Was**
* I didn't have to go for such*
* a limited hand as a sanshoku*
**[36:32] Was**
*that can only win off the 5 of characters.*
**[36:37] Was**
*If it's come to this, let's see the 5 of circles.*
**[36:48] Was**
*What is this?*
**[36:50] Was**
*Huh?*
**[36:51] Was**
*Why did I have to draw this tile?*
**[36:55] Was**
*Of all the tiles I could draw,*
**[36:58] Was**
* the 8 of circles that won't*
* give me a sanshoku win?*
**[37:02] Was**
* What's more, if I discard this,*
* I can't call ron on any discards.*
**[37:06] Was**
* I'll only be able to win by*
* drawing my winning tile.*
**[37:11] Was**
*Damn it!*
**[37:13] Was**
*If only I hadn't called on those west winds,*
**[37:15] Was**
* this 8 of circles would have*
* given me the ideal hand.*
**[37:23] Was**
* A wait on the west wind,*
* and the 5, 8 of circles.*
**[37:26] Was**
*I would've had this ideal three-way wait,*
**[37:30] Was**
*but my hand was twisted out of shape.*
**[37:37] Was**
* The best possible draw was*
* turned into the worst!*
**[37:44] Was**
* My strong luck was exchanged*
* with the angel of death.*
**[38:09] Was**
*What? Your hand can fit another tile?*
**[38:12] Was**
* Which means you weren't in tenpai yet*
* when you discarded that west wind?*
**[38:20] Was**
*This boy...*
**[38:27] Aka**
Riichi.
**[38:34] Was**
*A riichi after discarding the 5 of circles?!*
**[38:41] Was**
* If I hadn't drawn the 8 of circles,*
* I would have won with the 5 of circles.*
**[38:47] Was**
* It would have been my winning tile,*
* and you declare riichi with it?*
**[38:54] Was**
*He's mocking me!*
**[39:00] Was**
I'll kill you.
**[39:10] Oku**
Washizu-sama.
**[39:15] Oku**
* He feared neither death nor God*
* when he discarded that west wind.*
**[39:19] Oku**
* And when you forfeited the right*
* to call ron with your last discard,*
**[39:22] Oku**
*he discarded the 5 of circles you needed*
**[39:24] Oku**
*to mock you with his riichi.*
**[39:27] Oku**
*He couldn't possibly be more infuriating.*
**[39:30] Oku**
*However, you must not get angry.*
**[39:32] Oku**
*That is exactly what he hopes for.*
**[39:34] Oku**
*Keep a cool head, Washizu-sama.*
**[39:43] Oku**
*How could he draw that tile?!*
**[39:45] Oku**
*This is hopeless. It's exactly what he's after!*
**[39:48] Oku**
*No matter how I look at it, Akagi's hand...*
**[39:52] Oku**
*seems to be a 3-4-5 sanshoku hand.*
**[39:55] Oku**
*It probably looks like this,*
**[40:00] Oku**
*waiting on the 3 and 6 of circles.*
**[40:07] Oku**
*It's obvious! That must be it!*
**[40:10] Oku**
* You must not, Washizu-sama...*
* You must not act rashly!*
**[40:14] Oku**
* You can only win your sanshoku*
* hand with a 5 of circles.*
**[40:19] Oku**
*Two of those 5 of circles are already visible.*
**[40:21] Oku**
*Two are left.*
**[40:24] Oku**
* But you've already discarded*
* an 8 of circles, which means*
**[40:28] Oku**
* the only way you can win is if*
* you draw the 5 of circles yourself.*
**[40:31] Oku**
*On the one hand, Akagi is in tenpai.*
**[40:35] Oku**
* You have to keep playing while*
* you think about folding.*
**[40:38] Oku**
*And now you've drawn a very dangerous tile.*
**[40:40] Oku**
*The 3 of circles, the very tile he wants.*
**[40:43] Oku**
*Your only choice is to retreat.*
**[40:47] Oku**
* Anyone would agree that*
* that makes the most sense!*
**[40:57] Was**
Do not laugh.

Washizu-sama.

But...
**[41:27] Aka**
That's it.
**[41:31] Aka**
Mentanpin, ippatsu.

Sanshoku, iipeikou.

One reverse dora. It's a baiman.

You had it, didn't you?
**[41:47] Was**
The opaque 5 of circles.
**[41:52] Was**
You knew it, didn't you?
**[41:55] Was**
That my sanshoku was not yet complete.
**[41:59] Was**
You knew I wasn't in tenpai, so you
could discard that dora west wind.
**[42:19] Was**
Your hesitation to discard the west wind...
**[42:25] Was**
And then the bold discard of it later...
**[42:31] Was**
That was all an act.
**[42:39] Was**
* Because of that, I made a ridiculous*
* call on that west wind.*
**[42:51] Was**
* On top of that, I panicked and*
* gave up a possible winning tile.*
**[42:59] Was**
*And then the reckless 3 of circles!*
**[43:06] (Flashback) Was**
If you're going to win, then win.
**[43:13] Was**
* I was completely fooled by your act*
* of playing with such visible weakness.*

Then, when you...
**[43:35] (Flashback) Aka**
Sorry.
**[43:40] oug**
Akagi, you...
**[43:42] Yas**
The thing about losing sensation
in your fingers was an act?
**[43:47] Aka**
Who knows?

I was tricked by your cunning act.

I truly have become a fool.

Yes, sir.

Wait.

Sit down, Washizu.

There's a time for taking breaks.

This is not that time.

I'm saying

we're continuing game five,

**[47:07] Yas**
Hey, what the hell are you saying?
**[47:10] oug**
He's right. Can't you be

I'm not saying I think he'll take

I don't think that, but there's still

That's right!

And what if, by chance,
Washizu gets a mangan tsumo?
**[47:28] oug**
As dealer, you'd pay 4,000 points.
**[47:30] oug**
That's 400 cc.
**[47:31] oug**
You'll die!
**[47:33] oug**
You understand that, don't you, Akagi?
**[47:35] oug**
There's no reason to take that risk right now.
**[47:41] Aka**
It may sound like you have
a point, but you're wrong.
**[47:44] Aka**
About everything.
**[47:46] oug**
What?
**[47:48] Aka**
This is the time to go.
**[47:54] Aka**
Win, win, and continue to win...
**[47:58] Aka**
And squeeze out his money,
as if it was his lifeblood.
**[48:06] Aka**
To the last drop.
**[48:09] oug**
Akagi!
**[48:13] Oku**
Washizu-sama, what will you do?
**[48:17] Guy**
Washizu-sama!
**[48:22] Was**
If he insists that he wants to
continue, then I must continue.
**[48:30] oku**
Washizu-sama...
**[48:34] Was**
Pride.
**[48:36] Was**
Insolence.
**[48:38] Was**
Falseness.
**[48:40] Was**
Arrogance.
**[48:42] Was**
Scorn.
**[48:44] Was**
Those things will betray your own devilishness.
**[48:55] Was**
I've caught the tail of the monster!
**[49:05] Was**
This time, I *will* kill you.
**[49:09] Yas**
Akagi, Washizu is right this time.
**[49:12] oug**
Don't you think you're getting arrogant?
**[49:16] Aka**
Say whatever you want.
**[49:20] Aka**
So, shall we begin?
**[49:25] Aka**
South Hand 4, Bonus 1.
**[49:39] oug**
It really was a mad showdown.
**[49:46] oug**
But what came after that was the battle
that exceeded all our expectations.
**[49:54] oug**
The reason it became known
as a night of legend...
**[50:04] oug**
I thought Washizu was done for.
**[50:07] oug**
I never thought he'd launch
such a huge counteroffensive.
**[50:17] oug**
Akagi!

**[00:00] (Flashback) Aka**
Ron.
**[00:03] (Flashback) Yas**
All right!
**[00:04] (Flashback) Yas**
Now we're on top for the fifth game, too.
**[00:06] (Flashback) Yas**
Amazing!
**[00:07] (Flashback) Was**
We're taking a short break.
**[00:08] (Flashback) Was**
Pay him.
**[00:09] (Flashback) Aka**
Wait.
**[00:11] (Flashback) Aka**
If the dealer in the last hand finishes on top,
**[00:14] (Flashback) Aka**
he has the right to end the game,
but it's not required.
**[00:17] (Flashback) Aka**
I'm saying we're continuing
game five, with a bonus counter.
**[00:23] (Flashback) Yas**
Hey, what the hell are you saying?
**[00:26] (Flashback) Aka**
This is the time to go.
**[00:32] (Flashback) Aka**
Win, win, and continue to win...
**[00:36] (Flashback) Aka**
And squeeze out his money,

This time, I *will* kill you.
**[00:57] (Flashback) Aka**
So, shall we begin?
**[01:02] (Flashback) Aka**
South Hand 4, Bonus 1.
***SIGN*** Fifth Game
***SIGN*** South Hand, Bonus 1
**[01:28] Nar**
The fifth game ended with Akagi in the lead.
**[01:32] Nar**
Nobody dreamed he would choose
to continue the game as dealer.
**[01:46] Aka**
Ron.
**[01:51] Aka**
Ittsuu, one dora.
**[01:52] Aka**
7,700 makes it 8,000.
***SIGN*** Each counter adds 300 points to the winning hand.
**[01:59] yas**
Good.
**[02:01] oug**
What a relief.
**[02:04] oug**
I was worried about you continuing as dealer,
**[02:06] oug**
but I guess it ended with no problem.
**[02:07] yas**
Now it's finally over.
**[02:09] Aka**
What are you talking about?
**[02:13] oug**
You can't mean...
**[02:21] Aka**
We're going on.
**[02:22] Aka**
Two bonus counters.
**[02:24] Yas**
Why?
**[02:27] Aka**
Right now, Washizu doesn't have a
single thing going in his favor.
**[02:30] Aka**
He's no better than a dead dog.
**[02:33] Aka**
We can get more... a lot more.
***SIGN*** Fifth Game
***SIGN*** South Hand 4, Bonus 2
**[02:59] Aka**
Ron.
**[03:05] Aka**
Pinfu, iipeikou, two dora.
**[03:07] Aka**
12,000, so 12,600.
**[03:24] Aka**
We're going on.
**[03:26] Aka**
Three bonus counters.
***SIGN*** Fifth Game
***SIGN*** South Hand 4, Bonus 3
**[03:51] Aka**
Ron.
**[03:58] Aka**
East wind, three dora. Mangan.
**[04:13] Yasu**
Akagi, enough.
**[04:14] oug**
Have you lost your mind?
**[04:16] oug**
What's the point in continuing this?
**[04:17] Yasu**
How many hands would you
have won by now if you
**[04:20] Yasu**
had ridden this wave of
luck into the sixth game?
**[04:22] oug**
It's not too late!
**[04:23] oug**
Hurry up and start the sixth game!
**[04:26] Aka**
The sixth game, huh?
**[04:31] Aka**
That's exactly why my
staying dealer has meaning.
**[04:33] oug**
What?
**[04:39] Aka**
Four bonus counters.
**[04:41] Aka**
We're going on.
**[04:48] Oku**
Washizu-sama...
**[04:59] was**
*I can kill him! I can kill him!*
**[05:04] was**
*I can actually kill him!*
***SIGN*** Episode 7
***SIGN*** Washizu Mahjong
**[05:17] Nar**
Washizu Mahjong.
**[05:21] Nar**
These are the tiles used.
**[05:26] Nar**
Three of the four tiles in
each suit are transparent,
**[05:29] Nar**
making their faces visible even from the back,
**[05:34] Nar**
and only one is a regular tile
with a black back.
**[05:41] Nar**
No walls are built in Washizu Mahjong.
**[05:45] Nar**
Tiles for the starting hand and each draw are
taken from a hole in the middle of the table,
**[05:54] Nar**
wearing a leather glove on the right hand
to prevent feeling which tile is grabbed.
**[06:14] Nar**
Once the starting hands are drawn,
the dealer draws one more tile from the hole.
**[06:19] Nar**
This is the dora indicator.
**[06:23] Nar**
The same applies to reverse
dora and new dora from kan,
**[06:29] Nar**
which are drawn from the
hole when the need arises.
**[06:35] Nar**
If Akagi can survive through six East-South
matches with these rules, his side wins.
**[06:42] Nar**
Should he die before then,
**[06:45] Nar**
he will lose all that he had
amassed up to that point,
**[06:49] Nar**
and victory will go to Washizu's side.
***SIGN*** 1000 points = 1 million
**[06:53] Nar**
The rate is set at 1,000 points
being worth 1 million yen,
**[06:56] Nar**
or 100 cc of blood.
***SIGN*** 1000 points = 100 cc of blood
**[07:00] Nar**
It's a one-on-one match
between Akagi and Washizu.
**[07:04] Nar**
At the end of each East-South match,
points are tallied up, including rank bonuses.
**[07:09] Nar**
Additionally, bonus payments
are due every time a direct hit
**[07:14] Nar**
or a tsumo win causes points to trade
hands between Akagi and Washizu.
**[07:20] Nar**
These payments are made
immediately, in cash or blood.
**[07:29] Nar**
This is the essence of Washizu Mahjong.
***SIGN*** Washizu Mahjong
***SIGN*** Fifth Game
***SIGN*** South Hand 4, Bonus 4
**[07:48] Was**
*What on earth could he be thinking?*
**[07:53] Was**
* Why does he take the risk*
* and continue the fifth game?*
**[07:59] Aka**
Riichi.
**[08:04] Was**
*What?*
**[08:05] Was**
*He's declaring riichi?*
**[08:19] Was**
*And the cop's not playing into his hand?*
**[08:24] Was**
* He's avoided riichi because*
* of the risk of losing his blood,*
**[08:28] Was**
* but now he declares it and forfeits*
* control over his discards?*
**[08:34] Was**
* If the cop were in a position*
* to play into his hand right away,*
**[08:39] Was**
* or I were not in a position to win*
* at all, then riichi would be viable.*
**[08:44] Was**
*That is to say, if there were a safety net.*
**[08:48] Was**
*But this riichi is different.*
**[08:51] Was**
*The cop doesn't have his winning tile.*
**[08:56] Was**
*And my hand still lives.*
**[08:59] Was**
*If I build this hand, I can still attack him.*
**[09:09] Was**
*Most likely, he has a good hand.*
**[09:14] Nar**
Washizu's hunch is right.
**[09:16] Nar**
Akagi has an ideal tenpai.
**[09:19] Nar**
He has a five-way wait on the
1,4,7 and 2, 5 of bamboo.
**[09:32] Was**
*Still, it's not a guaranteed win.*
**[09:38] Was**
*He has about a 90% chance.*
**[09:42] Was**
*Which means his concentration is wavering.*
**[09:48] Was**
*Here it is! One tile away from tenpai!*
**[09:56] Was**
*I can kill him.*
**[09:57] Was**
* He's currently in a state where*
* he cannot defend himself.*
**[10:00] Was**
* He has to discard whatever he draws,*
* no matter how dangerous.*
**[10:04] Was**
* He's basically a blockhead*
* who can't do anything.*
**[10:09] Was**
*I'm going to annihilate*
**[10:12] Was**
*this blockhead.*
**[10:23] Was**
*It didn't come on the second turn, either?*
**[10:26] Was**
*And it's such a good wait, too.*
**[10:28] Was**
* But once they stop coming,*
* they stop coming. That's Mahjong.*
**[10:35] Was**
*Right, Akagi?*
**[10:40] Was**
*That's why you must always be prudent.*
**[10:44] Was**
* Yet this riichi is cheap and clumsy.*
* It feels like it's just relying on luck.*
**[10:51] Was**
*You haven't done anything like that all this time.*
**[10:59] Was**
*Does this mean he's looking down on me?*
**[11:03] Was**
*Does he think I'm in such bad shape?*
**[11:15] Was**
*Oh, here it is! And it will go right in!*
**[11:20] Was**
* I can change my edge wait*
* to a double-sided wait.*
**[11:27] Was**
*Good. My hand has finally begun to move.*
**[11:31] Was**
* It's awakened at last from its near-death*
* state. Its pulse has returned!*
**[11:41] Was**
*Tenpai!*
**[11:44] Was**
* What's more, I completed the tougher meld,*
* and now I have a two-sided wait.*
**[11:51] Was**
* Akagi declared riichi and cornered himself*
* into losing control of his discards,*
**[11:56] Was**
*and now I've caught up to him.*
**[12:00] Was**
*A battle is a frightening thing.*
**[12:05] Was**
*One moment's loss of concentration,*
**[12:08] Was**
* or one sloppy move,*
* will become a path to destruction.*
**[12:18] Was**
*All right.*
**[12:19] Was**
*Stealth!*
**[12:29] Was**
*I will keep this one stealthy!*
**[12:33] Was**
*Even without declaring riichi,*
**[12:34] Was**
* I can reach a mangan with this*
* tatehon red dragon hand.*
***SIGN*** Tatehon - Closed honitsu hand (no calls).
**[12:38] ---**
*I don't want him to know*
**[12:41] Was**
*that my hand is in tenpai.*
**[12:54] Was**
* As long as he doesn't know, he's likely*
* to continue his dealer's streak.*
**[13:01] Was**
*There may be a fifth bonus counter.*
**[13:04] Was**
*Especially if he believes my luck is still bad...*
**[13:12] Was**
*I'll get another chance.*
**[13:18] Aka**
Tsumo.
**[13:22] Aka**
Riichi, tsumo, south wind san ankou.
**[13:31] Aka**
Three reverse dora. Baiman.
**[13:34] Aka**
8,000, so that's 8,400 points from everyone.
**[13:44] oug**
I was really worried when
you declared that riichi,
**[13:48] oug**
but it looks like you took
this one home easily, too.
**[13:51] Yasu**
Akagi's luck is going strong.
**[13:54] Yasu**
On the other hand,
Washizu's game is still suffering.
**[14:13] Was**
*Fool.*
**[14:14] Was**
*He doesn't know that I've come back,*
**[14:18] Was**
*so he continues this foolish dealer streak.*
**[14:23] Aka**
Five bonus counters.
**[14:24] Aka**
We're going on.
**[14:33] Was**
*I can kill him.*
**[14:35] Was**
*This time, I really can kill him.*
***SIGN*** Fifth Game
***SIGN*** South Hand 4, Bonus 5
**[14:59] Was**
* At last, the good starting*
* hand I've been waiting for!*
**[15:09] Was**
* From here, it looks like*
* he's got a decent one, too...*
**[15:12] Was**
*Well, let's say we're about neck and neck.*
**[15:16] Was**
*But I won't lose.*
**[15:29] Was**
*I don't think you've noticed yet,*
**[15:32] Was**
* but the poison has finally started*
* to course through your body.*
**[15:45] Was**
*You're crumbling.*
**[15:46] Was**
*Your psyche has started to crumble.*
**[15:53] Was**
*It's clear to see from your last win.*
**[15:56] Was**
* Yes, you had a baiman with the*
* reverse dora and the san ankou,*
**[16:00] Was**
*but it really was just a south wind hand.*
**[16:05] Was**
* It's unthinkable to take the risk*
* of a riichi for such a hand.*
**[16:11] Was**
*At last, the pressure*
**[16:13] Was**
*has cracked the very core of your psyche.*
**[16:26] Aka**
Riichi.
**[16:29] Was**
*Another riichi?*
**[16:48] Was**
* And again, the cop has*
* no winning tile for you?!*
**[16:52] Was**
*A riichi with no guarantees whatsoever,*
**[16:56] Was**
*that will kill you if you draw my winning tile?*
**[17:04] Was**
*Does this guy really have a death wish?*
**[17:09] Was**
*Has being alive become so dull to you?*
**[17:21] Was**
*Tenpai!*
**[17:38] Was**
* If I discard the 9 of circles, I'll have a*
* tanyao, sanshoku, with one dora. A mangan.*
**[17:48] Was**
* There's a chance that he's*
* waiting on this 9 of circles.*
**[17:52] Was**
*However, that chance should be quite slim.*
**[18:01] Was**
*But he's declared riichi.*
**[18:03] Was**
* A riichi that will instantly kill him*
* if he draws my winning tile.*
**[18:08] Was**
* That being the case, I should*
* overlook such a small risk*
**[18:14] Was**
*and go for it.*
**[18:21] Oka**
Is that really true?
**[18:23] guy**
According to the calculations.
**[18:26] oka**
Please wait!
**[18:33] oka**
Washizu-sama, forgive me.
**[18:35] Was**
What?
**[18:37] Oka**
This way, please.
**[18:42] Oka**
The game's on hold.
**[18:50] was**
Well?
**[18:52] Oka**
Long story short, if you deal Akagi
a mangan or higher hand, it's over.
**[18:57] Oka**
The match will be over.
**[19:01] oug**
What are they so anxious about?
**[19:03] Aka**
So they noticed.
**[19:05] oug**
Noticed what?
**[19:07] Oku**
What I'm saying is...
your money will run out.
**[19:15] Was**
That's impossible!
**[19:17] Oku**
You can't go on to the sixth game.
**[19:20] Was**
What are you talking about?
**[19:22] Was**
With the 100 million I added before,
we should have over 200 million yen left.
**[19:28] Oku**
The gap penalty is going to hurt.
**[19:32] Was**
Huh?
**[19:33] Oku**
When we tally up the winnings,
Akagi pays in blood and you pay in cash.
**[19:39] Oku**
The rule that the point difference between
you two is paid out was a fatal mistake.
**[19:50] Oku**
That point difference has become exorbitant.
**[19:55] Oku**
That pile will...
**[20:00] Oku**
This is what I mean.
***SIGN*** Akagi +102,200 Washizu-sama -22,200 Difference 124,400
**[20:09] oku**
This is the current score between you two.
**[20:11] oku**
Please double-check it.
**[20:22] oku**
Currently, we have +102,200
points against -22,200 points.
***SIGN*** If the score tally was done now
***SIGN*** points
***SIGN*** Akagi

With the rank bonus of 30,000 points
and the wager of 20,000 points,
***SIGN*** Rank Bonus
***SIGN*** Rank Bonus Wager
**[20:36] Oku**
Akagi has an additional 50,000 points,
***SIGN*** points
**[20:39] Oku**
bringing him to a grand
total of +152,200 points.
**[20:43] Oku**
Meanwhile, with you, in last place...
***SIGN*** points
***SIGN*** Washizu
**[20:45] oku**
You have -22,200 points.
**[20:48] oku**
You lose another 30,000 with the rank bonus.
***SIGN*** Rank Bonus
**[20:51] oku**
In total, you're at -52,200 points.
***SIGN*** points
**[20:55] oku**
Which means that if the game
were to end right now...
***SIGN*** points
**[21:02] oku**
There'd be a 204,400-point gap.
**[21:07] oku**
Put into cash, that's 204 million yen.
**[21:11] oku**
Right now, with the 100 million
yen addition you made,
**[21:16] oku**
you have 233.5 million yen.
***SIGN*** 233.5 Million Yen
**[21:20] oku**
If we take that 233.5 million yen and
**[21:23] oku**
subtract Akagi's current
winnings of 204 million yen...
***SIGN*** 233.5 Million Yen - 204 Million Yen
***SIGN*** 29.5 Million Yen
**[21:32] oku**
That leaves you with 29.5 million yen.
**[21:36] oku**
That 29.5 million yen is the
only money you have left.
**[21:44] oku**
So, hypothetically, if you deal into
Akagi's 12,000 point dealer mangan hand,
**[21:53] oku**
with the 1,500 point bonus
from the five counters,
**[21:55] oku**
he'll get a total of 13,500 points.
***SIGN*** 29.5 Million Yen
**[21:57] oku**
Which means 13.5 million yen will
be gone from this direct hit bonus.
***SIGN*** 29.5 Million Yen
-13.5 Million Yen
(Direct Hit Bonus)
***SIGN*** 16 Million Yen
**[22:06] oku**
You'll be left with 16 million yen.
**[22:10] oku**
Also, when this bonus is paid out,
**[22:12] oku**
an additional 27,000 point gap
will widen between the payer and
**[22:18] oku**
the payee, meaning 27 million yen.
***SIGN*** 16 Million Yen
-27 Million Yen
(Point difference payment caused by dealer mangan)
**[22:22] oku**
That 27 million yen is more
than the 16 million you have left.
**[22:33] oku**
You'll be bankrupt.
**[22:36] oku**
Which means...
**[22:38] oug**
They don't have enough money
to make it to the sixth game?
**[22:42] oug**
I see.
**[22:43] Yas**
So this is why you've stayed dealer.
**[22:46] oug**
So basically, from the beginning,
**[22:48] oug**
you never intended to go to the sixth game?
**[22:52] oug**
You planned on setting the match
before that, in the fifth game.
**[22:55] yas**
You're the type who'd plan that far ahead?
**[23:00] Was**
I see.
**[23:02] Was**
So that chain of riichis was his
plan to score direct hits off of me.
**[23:10] Was**
Just how devious are you?
**[23:17] Was**
You pretended to be out of it, when in truth,
**[23:20] Was**
you were waiting for your chance to kill me.
**[23:28] Oku**
Washizu-sama.
**[23:30] Oku**
Please, you must be careful.
**[23:34] guy**
You must not fight him.
**[23:36] guy**
If you do, it won't just be
defeat in the fifth game.
**[23:39] guy**
You may lose the right to play the sixth.
**[23:41] Guy2**
That's right.
**[23:42] Guy2**
Since you have very few reserves
left, you must be cautious.
**[23:45] Guy2**
Anything but a direct hit!
**[23:49] Was**
Are you telling me to run away?
**[23:52] Was**
Me, the man who was called
the king of the underworld?
**[23:59] Was**
You're telling me to run because
I don't have enough money?!
**[24:03] Oku**
Forgive us.
**[24:03] Oku**
But we can't help but think,
given the situation at hand...
**[24:06] Was**
I will not!
**[24:09] Was**
I will not run away!
**[24:12] Was**
It's going to pass!
**[24:13] Was**
I'm the king!
**[24:14] Oku**
But, sir...
**[24:15] Oku**
Washizu-sama—
**[24:15] Was**
It will pass!
**[24:16] Was**
I'll make it pass and kill this brat!
**[24:20] Aka**
That's it.
**[24:21] Aka**
That's the spirit.
**[24:24] Aka**
Come on, Washizu, you impoverished thing.
**[24:31] Was**
Me?! Impoverished thing?!
**[24:33] ---**
Washizu-sama!
**[24:35] Was**
Let me go!
**[24:37] Oku**
You mustn't let him provoke you!
**[24:38] ---**
Stay calm!
**[24:39] Oku**
Washizu-sama!
**[24:40] guy**
His rudeness is merely to elicit
a rash response from you!
**[24:44] guy**
You must not respond to it!
**[24:46] guy**
Control yourself!
**[24:59] Was**
Move.
**[25:01] Was**
I am calm.
**[25:08] Oku**
Then...
**[25:13] Oku**
Um...
**[25:14] Was**
I know.
**[25:17] Was**
You want me to know that discarding
the 9 of circles will lead to my doom.
**[25:23] Oku**
Thank you, sir.
**[25:26] Was**
However...
**[25:29] Was**
I will discard it.
**[25:32] Was**
I will discard this 9 of circles!
**[25:35] ---**
What?
**[25:39] Guy**
Washizu-sama?
**[25:40] Oku**
Sir, we've been saying...
**[25:41] Was**
Akagi is in riichi.
**[25:43] Was**
He must discard any tile
that isn't his winning tile.
**[25:45] Was**
This is a one in a million chance for me.
**[25:53] Was**
Of course, I would not force this tile's
discard if it were a dangerous tile.
**[25:59] Was**
But it's safe.
**[26:04] Oku**
I see...
**[26:05] Was**
Look.
**[26:06] Was**
Look at his hand and think about it.
**[26:09] Was**
He can't possibly be waiting on this
9 of circles to complete his pair.
**[26:14] Oku**
How can you know that?
**[26:17] Was**
Because of the north wind he
discarded when he declared riichi.
**[26:22] Was**
He couldn't bring himself to wait on that.
**[26:26] Oku**
I see!
**[26:28] Oku**
He originally wanted to
wait on that north wind!
**[26:32] Oku**
If he had waited on that north wind,
the cop could've played into his hand.
**[26:40] Oku**
At a time like this, on the brink of
the finale of a Mahjong deathmatch,
**[26:45] Oku**
anyone would prefer that wait.
**[26:47] Oku**
But he didn't do that.
**[26:52] Was**
At that point, all the chances
of him waiting on a single tile
**[26:58] Was**
disappeared.
**[27:08] Was**
Therefore,
**[27:11] Was**
this kind of 6, 9 of circles
wait also disappeared.
**[27:17] Was**
The 9 of circles is safe.
**[27:21] Was**
Most likely, he an 8 of circles as his pair.
**[27:27] Was**
Which means he has a
two-sided 4, 7 of circles wait.
**[27:32] Was**
Or,
**[27:35] Was**
a closed 5 of circles wait.
**[27:42] Was**
Or, he's got a 6 of circles pair and
an edge wait on a 7 of circles.
**[27:50] Was**
Or, he's got a double pon
wait on 6, 8 of circles.
**[27:59] Oku**
But, sir...
**[28:00] Was**
But what?!
**[28:04] Oku**
Yes, sir.
**[28:05] Oku**
I will tell you.
**[28:07] Oku**
What you said just now is absolutely sound.
**[28:11] Oku**
There is no way to refute you.
**[28:14] Oku**
I understand the logic.
**[28:16] Oku**
I understand, but...
**[28:19] Oku**
There is a chance that Akagi is
ignoring logic to shoot you down.
**[28:24] Oku**
That is...
**[28:27] Oku**
What if he predicted that the 9 of circles
would be in the way of your tenpai,
**[28:32] Oku**
so he deliberately changed his wait
from a north wind to a 9 of circles?
**[28:40] Was**
You moron.
**[28:41] Was**
What would he do if I drew the 8 of circles?
**[28:47] Was**
His guess on the 9 of circles
would be off the mark.
**[28:50] Was**
I'd be in riichi with a two-sided wait,
while he'd be left defenseless.
**[28:57] Was**
Of course, if that's the only wait he could
go for, then he could have bet on it.
**[29:04] Was**
But Akagi could choose.
**[29:09] Was**
He could have chosen the
safe single north wind wait.
**[29:25] Was**
If the cop deals into this
hand right away, then...
**[29:31] Was**
Ron.
**[29:34] Was**
Riichi, ippatsu, east wind iipeikou, one dora.
**[29:37] Was**
A guaranteed mangan.
**[29:42] Was**
With any reverse dora, it could
go all the way to a haneman.
**[29:46] Was**
That's a payout of anywhere
from 12,000 to 18,000 points.
**[29:52] Was**
And that would be enough.
**[29:54] Was**
He would back me another
step further against the wall.
**[29:59] Oku**
That is true...
**[30:01] Was**
Well, let's resume.
**[30:20] Was**
*We're in an extreme situation*
**[30:21] Was**
* where either of us dealing into*
* the other's hand means death.*
**[30:27] Was**
* Who could ignore the safety of a guaranteed*
* north wind win in this kind of situation?*
**[30:35] Was**
*Nobody could do that.*
**[30:37] Was**
* Nobody could ignore*
* that overwhelming allure,*
**[30:41] Was**
*no matter who they are.*
**[30:56] Was**
*What is this?*
**[30:58] Was**
*Why can't I discard it?*
**[31:01] Was**
*Why can't I move?*
**[31:04] Was**
*It can't be!*
**[31:06] Was**
*I have a clear reason...*
**[31:10] Was**
*And yet something holds me back.*
**[31:15] Was**
*A reason beyond reason?*
**[31:20] Was**
*A sixth sense?*
**[31:33] Was**
*That's right.*
**[31:35] Was**
*Remember.*
**[31:37] Was**
* This man is incomprehensible.*
* There's no such thing as "no risk,"*
**[31:43] Was**
*much less any "return"...*
**[31:52] (Flashback) oug**
Akagi, what the hell are you doing?
**[31:55] (Flashback) oug**
What are you doing?!
**[31:56] (Flashback) oug**
Hey!
**[31:57] (Flashback) aka**
I mean... this.
**[32:00] was**
* A normal human seeks to secure*
* guaranteed returns with no risk.*
**[32:07] was**
*This is natural, since people fear death.*
**[32:10] was**
* But this man does not fear*
* even the risk of death.*
**[32:17] was**
*Is he a monster?*
**[32:19] was**
*Indeed, it's unthinkable to throw away the*
**[32:23] was**
* single north wind wait that's*
* guaranteed to be safe.*
**[32:33] was**
* After all, it's not impossible*
* that the 9 of circles he covets*
**[32:38] was**
*actually gets incorporated in my hand*
**[32:42] was**
*and I declare my own riichi.*
**[32:50] was**
* In the worst case scenario, he draws*
* my winning tile and deals into my hand.*
**[33:00] (Flashback) Was**
Ron.
**[33:03] Was**
*The mangan that decides the entire battle...*
**[33:07] Was**
*That sort of pathetic death is a possibility!*
**[33:11] Was**
* That is why the riichi and discard of the north*
* wind was a move he shouldn't have made.*
**[33:16] Was**
* But this lunatic does not even*
* shrink back from a pathetic death.*
**[33:25] Was**
*This man has overabundant talent,*
**[33:27] Was**
* but is willing to throw it into*
* the gutter without a thought,*
**[33:30] Was**
*even if it means his death.*
**[33:34] Was**
*So pure.*
**[33:35] Was**
* Just as dead people no*
* longer desire anything,*
**[33:40] Was**
*he's dead even as he's still alive.*
**[33:45] Was**
*He's not human.*
**[33:48] Was**
*He is an incalculable monster.*
**[34:08] Was**
*Oh, no! This is what he wants!*
**[34:11] Was**
*This 9 of circles...*
**[34:22] Was**
*I'll be devoured if I hesitate much longer.*
**[34:24] Was**
* Now that this 9 of circles has*
* flown from my hand, it's clear:*
**[34:28] Was**
*I must not fight him head-on!*
**[34:32] Was**
*I must run.*
**[34:37] Was**
*Another way... There must be another way...*
**[34:46] Was**
*So then...*
**[34:50] Was**
* Shall I discard the 7 of*
* circles, or perhaps the 4?*
**[34:56] Was**
*Those would both keep me in tenpai.*
**[35:03] Was**
* A tenpai with a closed wait*
* on the 8 of circles...*
**[35:07] Was**
*No. No good.*
**[35:08] Was**
*I can't do that.*
**[35:10] Was**
*Right now, his madness and time are aligned.*
**[35:14] Was**
* Even if I get into tenpai,*
* he'll draw his winning tile first.*
**[35:31] (Flashback) Aka**
Tsumo.
**[35:32] Was**
* If he draws it, it'll be a riichi,*
* tsumo, east wind, iipeikou...*
**[35:37] Was**
* With any reverse dora, it could*
* go all the way to a haneman.*
**[35:40] Was**
*Right now, I've got 29.5 million yen left.*
***SIGN*** Washizu's Remaining Funds 29.5 Million Yen
**[35:44] was**
*If he were to draw a haneman now,*
**[35:48] was**
* with the bonus from the 5 counters,*
* the payout would be...*
***SIGN*** -19.5 Million Yen (Akagi's Haneman Tsumo payout)

*A total of 32.5 million yen.*
**[35:58] was**
*That's more than what I have left.*
**[36:08] was**
*He cannot draw that tile.*
**[36:10] was**
*If he draws it, I'm ruined.*
**[36:12] was**
*What to do...*
**[37:22] Suz**
Chi.
**[37:33] Was**
Yes, pon!
**[37:46] Suz**
Chi.
**[37:54] Oku**
This is...
**[38:01] Was**
Pon.
**[38:12] Suz**
Ron.
**[38:15] Suz**
1,000, so that's 2,500 points.
**[38:19] All**
Yes!
**[38:20] All**
He did it!
**[38:21] All**
The fifth game is over.
**[38:25] Was**
Run the numbers.
**[38:26] Oku**
Yes, sir.
**[38:38] Oug**
Akagi is something else, but Washizu
wasn't going to go down without a fight.
**[38:42] Yas**
He sniffed out his path to survival
**[38:45] Yas**
at the very last moment.
**[38:47] Oug**
No, even more impressive was that
pon-chi volley they did to stop Akagi.
**[38:53] Oug**
This kind of luck really doesn't
come to ordinary people.
**[39:08] Oug**
The big haul got away.
**[39:25] Oku**
This much?
**[39:27] Guy**
No choice.
**[39:28] Guy**
We've checked over and over.
**[39:36] oug**
Another 206 million yen, huh?
**[39:39] yas**
Wow! Wow! Damn, damn, damn!
**[39:43] yas**
I know it's too early to celebrate,
but I can't contain myself!
**[39:47] yas**
Akagi, you're a genius!
**[39:51] yas**
Hey, Akagi.
**[39:55] yas**
It would have been nice to
settle it in the fifth game,
**[39:58] yas**
but it's no problem.
**[40:00] yas**
You can make it through the
sixth and final East-South match.
**[40:05] yas**
Look, he's basically in a stupor.
**[40:09] yas**
I can't blame him.
**[40:11] yas**
We thought his overwhelming funds
of 600 million yen seemed endless,
**[40:16] yas**
but that's all he has left.
It's practically nothing.
**[40:22] oug**
Okay, it's exactly 206 million yen.
***SIGN*** After The Fifth Game
**[40:26] nar**

**[41:14] oug**
With this, our earnings so
far total 572.5 million yen.
**[41:20] yas**
This is out of this world.
**[41:22] yas**
It's something to behold, for sure.
**[41:24] oug**
Yeah, it's beautiful! A wonder!
**[41:29] aka**
That's no better than garbage.
**[41:33] yas**
What?
**[41:36] yas**
Hey, what are you talking about, Akagi?
**[41:39] yas**
That's 500 million! 500 million!
**[41:41] aka**
Everything is an illusion. Our positions
could be reversed at any moment.
**[41:48] yas**
Come on, now.
**[41:49] oug**
I guess we might have gotten
ahead of ourselves a bit.
**[41:53] oug**
If Washizu gets a mangan
tsumo win in the sixth game,
**[41:56] oug**
Akagi will die and all this
money goes back to Washizu.
**[42:00] yas**
But look at the money he has left.
It's only 27.5 million yen.
**[42:04] yas**
If you take that, we win!
**[42:08] aka**
It's the opposite.
**[42:10] aka**
The real problem is
**[42:13] aka**
the 27.5 million yen, that he still has it.
**[42:19] yas**
Huh?
**[42:21] aka**
Ever since our battle began,
**[42:24] aka**
I had a hunch that the sixth
game would be dangerous.
**[42:29] oug**
What?
**[42:32] aka**
To settle on six games with a
possessed man like Washizu Iwao,
**[42:35] aka**
and to actually play that
sixth game, is sheer stupidity.
**[42:41] aka**
That man is sure to do
something at that point.
**[42:46] aka**
That's the kind of raw luck he was born with.
**[42:51] aka**
That's why I shifted my focus.
**[42:54] oug**
Shifted?
**[42:57] aka**
I planned to settle the battle not in
the sixth game, but in the fifth game,
**[43:02] aka**
before Washizu's raw luck could be activated.
**[43:08] aka**
But Washizu put a stop to
that at the last moment.
**[43:13] yas**
So the sixth game...
**[43:17] aka**
We'll cross that bridge when we get to it.
**[43:21] aka**
All we have to do is die.
***SIGN*** Sixth Game
***SIGN*** Start of East Hand 1
**[44:32] was**
Hang on.
**[44:34] was**
I just want to confirm one thing.
**[44:38] was**
If I get a tsumo win or a direct hit,
I'll only accept blood.
**[44:45] was**
That's fine, right?
**[44:48] aka**
Don't worry. That's still my intention.
**[44:53] aka**
If you take that last 500 cc from me, you win.
**[44:59] aka**
I believe that was our agreement anyway.
**[45:03] aka**
I have no intention of changing that
just because the situation has changed.
**[45:07] aka**
Don't worry about that. Come and kill me.
**[45:13] aka**
But I won't let you have
the last 500 cc so easily.
**[45:21] aka**
Well, shall we begin, then?
**[45:24] was**
One more thing.
**[45:27] was**
There's one more issue.
**[45:30] was**
Hey.
**[45:32] oku**
You have sufficient funds.
**[45:35] oku**
Even if Washizu-sama defeats
you with a huge lead,
**[45:39] oku**
like 50,000 or 100,000 points,
**[45:41] oku**
you could easily pay it off and survive.
**[45:44] oku**
You can imagine what that would lead to.
You could just keep running away.
**[45:50] yas**
Huh?
**[45:51] oku**
What I'm saying is, no matter
how hard Washizu-sama tries
**[45:55] oku**
to get tsumo wins or direct
hits in the sixth game,
**[45:58] oku**
if you guys feel like it, you can just
deny his tenpai from going anywhere.
**[46:03] oku**
It doesn't matter whose discard it is.
**[46:06] oku**
The cop can just call a wrong
ron, or draw out of order.
**[46:09] oku**
You guys can simply end the hand without
**[46:11] oku**
letting Washizu-sama draw,
by making a mistake.
**[46:13] oug**
What?
**[46:14] Yas**
You moron. As if I'd do that!
**[46:16] was**
Wrong!
**[46:19] was**
If it's between 600 million yen
or 0 yen, people will do anything.
**[46:27] oug**
Then what are you suggesting?!
**[46:28] was**
If that form of cheating happens,
**[46:31] was**
all of the winnings from game
1 through 5 are null and void.
**[46:36] both**
What?!
**[46:38] was**
Unless we attach that kind of
penalty, it's not preventable.
**[46:43] was**
Are we in agreement?
**[46:44] yas**
Agreement, my ass! You could
abuse that just as well!
**[46:48] oug**
He's right! You guys could cook anything up.
**[46:51] oug**
Wrongly calling ron, drawing out of order...
**[46:54] oug**
All you'd have to do is switch
around some tiles afterwards.
**[46:56] yas**
Then it would be your word against ours.
Isn't that so, Washizu?
**[47:02] yas**
What is it, Akagi?
**[47:05] akg**
You're throwing up a lot of smoke,
but you just want me to pay, right?
**[47:10] akg**
In the event that after this game,
**[47:13] akg**
I end up below you in the ranking,
you want me to pay in blood instead of cash.
**[47:21] akg**
That's the crux of the matter, isn't it?
**[47:25] akg**
No matter how crazy you are,
**[47:27] akg**
you couldn't have expected us
to accept what you just proposed.
**[47:31] akg**
Which means that all you wanted
was a mechanism that prevents me
**[47:36] akg**
from running away from playing properly.
**[47:43] akg**
Don't worry. That was my intention, anyway.
**[47:51] akg**
I won't give you an inch,
even in the rankings.
**[47:54] akg**
That condition is just what I want.
**[48:00] akg**
I can seal him away... I can seal
the lunatic away completely.
**[48:09] was**
I expected nothing less from
you, Akagi Shigeru-kun!
**[48:13] yas**
Akagi, are you sure that's okay?
**[48:17] yas**
Sure, given how you've fared so far,
I don't think you will end up behind Washizu.
**[48:21] yas**
But you know, battles are—
**[48:22] oug**
Let's do it.
**[48:25] yas**
Ougi...
**[48:27] oug**
Forget what he said earlier.
**[48:29] oug**
It means he's confident.
He's just better to begin with.
**[48:35] oug**
I absolutely cannot imagine that Akagi
will end up below Washizu in the rankings.
**[48:43] yas**
Yeah, but...
**[48:57] aka**
* No, this sixth game is*
* most definitely dangerous.*
**[49:03] ---**
*It's different from before.*
**[49:06] aka**
*It's actually possible*
**[49:11] aka**
*that I won't be able to top him in the rankings.*
**[49:15] aka**
*It's a fact that Washizu has recovered.*
**[49:19] aka**
* Him being able to demand such a pathetic*
* condition with a straight face*

**[00:05] Aka**
I never expected this.
**[00:14] Aka**
Never...
**[00:17] Aka**
My plan was to finish the
match in the fifth game.
**[00:26] Aka**
But...
**[00:30] Aka**
I never expected Washizu to get that lucky.
**[00:34] (Flashback) Was**
Yes, pon!
**[00:38] (Flashback) Was**
Pon.
**[00:44] (Flashback) Was**
Ron.
**[00:47] (Flashback) oug**
Even more impressive was that
pon-chi volley they did to stop Akagi.
**[00:51] (Flashback) oug**
This kind of luck really doesn't
come to ordinary people.
**[00:57] Aka**
I was a step away from capturing
my prey, and I lost him.
**[01:06] Aka**
I've played Mahjong with countless
people, and I always came out alive.
**[01:13] Aka**
But this the first time I've failed
**[01:18] Aka**
to finish someone off as I'd planned.
**[01:26] Aka**
The next is the last.
**[01:28] Aka**
The sixth game.
**[01:30] Aka**
I can't even imagine what kind of fight it'll be.
**[01:34] Aka**
This is unknown territory, even to me.
**[01:39] Aka**
But if I survive this, I might figure out
**[01:45] Aka**
what on earth I was hoping to find in this match.
***SIGN*** Episode 8
***SIGN*** Washizu Mahjong
**[02:02] Nar**
Washizu Mahjong.
**[02:05] Nar**
These are the tiles used.
**[02:10] Nar**
Three of the four tiles in
each suit are transparent,
**[02:14] Nar**
making their faces visible even from the back,
**[02:18] Nar**
and only one is a regular tile
with a black back.
**[02:26] Nar**
No walls are built in Washizu Mahjong.
**[02:30] Nar**
Tiles for the starting hand and each draw are
taken from a hole in the middle of the table,
**[02:38] Nar**
wearing a leather glove on the right hand
to prevent feeling which tile is grabbed.
**[02:59] Nar**
Once the starting hands are drawn,
the dealer draws one more tile from the hole.
**[03:03] Nar**
This is the dora indicator.
**[03:08] Nar**
The same applies to reverse
dora and new dora from kan,
**[03:13] Nar**
which are drawn from the
hole when the need arises.
**[03:20] Nar**
If Akagi can survive through six East-South
matches with these rules, his side wins.
**[03:26] Nar**
Should he die before then,
**[03:30] Nar**
he will lose all that he had
amassed up to that point,
**[03:34] Nar**
and victory will go to Washizu's side.
***SIGN*** 1000 points = 1 million
**[03:37] Nar**
The rate is set at 1,000 points
being worth 1 million yen,
**[03:41] Nar**
or 100 cc of blood.
***SIGN*** 1000 points = 100 cc of blood
**[03:44] Nar**
It's a one-on-one match
between Akagi and Washizu.
**[03:48] Nar**
At the end of each East-South match,
points are tallied up, including rank bonuses.
**[03:53] Nar**
Additionally, bonus payments
are due every time a direct hit
**[03:59] Nar**
or a tsumo win causes points to trade
hands between Akagi and Washizu.
**[04:05] Nar**
These payments are made
immediately, in cash or blood.
**[04:13] Nar**
This is the essence of Washizu Mahjong.
***SIGN*** Washizu Mahjong

***SIGN*** Start of East Hand 1
**[04:30] oug**
All right!
**[04:31] oug**
Starting as dealer is a perfect. You get to
carry over your luck from the fifth game.
**[04:52] oug**
*Not bad at all...*
**[04:54] oug**
* He's got two character*
* melds and a pair already.*
**[04:57] oug**
*It's a good hand to ride out this wave.*
**[05:00] oug**
*How is Washizu's hand, though?*
**[05:03] oug**
*Too bad for him. His hand looks like a mess.*
**[05:07] oug**
*That hand will take a while.*
**[05:10] oug**
*Sorry, but East Hand 1 goes to us.*
**[05:15] Nar**
Akagi has the advantage.
**[05:17] Nar**
That's the feeling in the air.
**[05:20] Nar**
However, Akagi himself
did not see it that way.
**[05:28] Aka**
* That play Washizu made in*
* the last hand of the fifth game...*
**[05:35] Aka**
*That brought him back to life.*
**[05:41] Aka**
* And if that's true, then the*
* luck isn't with me right now.*
**[05:46] Aka**
*It's with Washizu.*
**[05:49] Aka**
* In which case, being the last dealer would've*
* been the ideal position for an upset.*
**[05:57] Aka**
*And yet, I end up dealer now.*
**[06:01] Aka**
* It's just my luck right now to end up*
* in the one position I didn't want.*
**[06:08] Aka**
* My tiles look favorable at a glance,*
* but something's lurking there...*
**[06:15] Aka**
* This south wind dora that the*
* heavens have dealt Washizu and me.*
**[06:35] Aka**
* If I don't discard this south wind,*
* my hand won't advance.*
**[06:39] Aka**
*It's the heavy chain binding my feet.*
**[06:44] Nar**
Meanwhile...
**[06:47] Nar**
Washizu's hand is steadily advancing.
**[06:50] Nar**
By the eighth turn, their prospects
at the start have reversed.
**[06:54] Nar**
He's ready to corner Akagi.
**[06:59] Was**
Pon.
**[08:01] Yas**
Ron.
**[08:02] Yas**
Just pinfu.
**[08:04] Was**
Hey.
**[08:05] Was**
Bring me a cool towel.
**[08:06] Oka**
Yes, sir.
**[08:15] oug**
That was close.
**[08:16] oug**
I thought you'd win that one easy.
**[08:19] Aka**
No, we've got head wind right now.
**[08:24] oug**
What do you mean? Luck is still on your side.
**[08:26] Aka**
No.
**[08:28] Aka**
I've got to take the proper steps
right away, or I'm dead.
**[08:32] oug**
What?
**[08:36] Aka**
Actually, even if I do that, I might just die.
**[08:42] oug**
What's wrong?
**[08:44] oug**
This isn't like you.
**[08:46] Was**
What are you whispering about?
**[08:52] Was**
What is it?
**[08:53] Was**
Do I have something on my face?
**[09:01] Aka**
That's right.
**[09:08] Aka**
It may be sprouting soon.
**[09:12] Was**
What are you talking about?
**[09:15] Aka**
You'll see.
***SIGN*** Sixth Game
***SIGN*** East Hand 2
**[09:40] Nar**
The situation is the same in this hand.
**[09:44] Nar**
On the seventh turn, Akagi is
one tile away from a san ankou.
**[09:48] Nar**
At first glance, it looks like a favorable
hand, but in truth, it's too heavy.
**[09:57] Nar**
On the other hand,
Washizu's attacks are nimble.
**[10:01] Was**
Pon.
**[10:11] Was**
Pon.
**[10:16] oug**
*This is bad.*
**[10:18] oug**
*The other side is fast!*
**[10:31] Aka**
Pon.
**[10:42] Aka**
Ron.
**[10:44] Aka**
Red dragon only. 1,300.
**[10:48] oug**
That was a close one!
***SIGN*** Sixth Game
***SIGN*** East Hand 3
**[11:12] Nar**
Washizu still hasn't noticed the
signs that the game favors him.
**[11:19] Nar**
And even Ougi has no choice but to notice it.
**[11:23] oug**
*His starting hand is terrible.*
**[11:26] oug**
*His luck is getting worse and worse.*
**[11:32] oug**
*His draws are bad, too.*
**[11:34] oug**
* I guess you were right.*
* You really are facing a head wind.*
**[11:41] oug**
*Now what, Akagi?*
**[11:44] Nar**
Meanwhile, Washizu...
**[11:49] Nar**
has no useless draws.
By the fifth turn, he's in tenpai.
**[11:54] Was**
*Not the best hand, but I am in tenpai.*
**[11:57] Was**
*I'll go for a riichi.*
**[11:59] Was**
* A winning draw for a riichi, tsumo, iipeikou*
* will get me 2,000 from everyone.*
**[12:07] Was**
*No. Don't rush.*
**[12:09] Was**
*You can't kill that monster with 2,000 points.*
**[12:14] Was**
*That's right.*
**[12:16] Was**
* Now is the time to keep a cool*
* head and exercise self-control.*
**[12:19] Was**
*Take a good look.*
**[12:23] Was**
With another east wind,
**[12:26] Was**
this hand could be a double
east wind san ankou tenpai.
**[12:31] Was**
With either a 5 or 7 of circles,
I've got a guaranteed san ankou.
**[12:36] Was**
And there's still a chance of adding another
5 of characters dora into the hand.
**[12:41] Was**
*It has potential!*
**[12:44] Was**
*This hand still has a lot of potential!*
**[12:52] Was**
*I'm going to wait.*
**[12:53] Was**
*At least until it's worth one more han.*
**[12:57] Was**
*I have time.*
**[12:59] Was**
*His hand isn't in order yet.*
**[13:11] Was**
*I'm going for a tsumo.*
**[13:14] Was**
*A tsumo that can kill Akagi.*
**[13:48] Aka**
Chi.
**[14:02] Aka**
Pon.
**[14:08] Was**
*A bamboo honitsu tenpai.*
**[14:12] Was**
*Or at worst, he may be one away from tenpai.*
**[14:18] oug**
*Akagi, your hand is a mess!*
**[14:22] oug**
* What are you collecting*
* all these opaque tiles for?*
**[14:27] oug**
*A bluff?*
**[14:29] oug**
* He's collecting opaque tiles*
* to put pressure on Washizu.*
**[14:34] oug**
* Is this the only way he can fight*
* back against Washizu's luck?*
**[14:39] oug**
* But will Washizu actually*
* fall for this obvious bluff?*
**[14:57] oug**
*He broke his tenpai.*
**[14:59] oug**
*Why?*
**[15:00] oug**
* He can't honestly believe that Akagi would*
* have this many opaque tiles in a sequence!*
**[15:29] oug**
*We're saved!*
**[15:31] oug**
*He would've won with that 6 of circles.*
**[15:33] oug**
* He got a bad draw. Now you*
* just need to get through this.*
**[15:43] Was**
*If this 2 of bamboo goes through,*
**[15:46] Was**
* I'll be back in the san ankou*
* tenpai that I was going for.*
**[15:51] Was**
* If I declare a riichi and draw*
* the east wind or the 7 of bamboo,*
**[15:54] Was**
*my hand will be worth more than a mangan.*
**[15:57] Was**
*I really want to get rid of this 2 of bamboo.*
**[16:09] Was**
*Damn it.*
**[16:29] Was**
*I would have won!*
**[16:31] Was**
*With a san ankou!*
**[16:33] Was**
*I lost it!*
**[16:35] Was**
*Once is bad enough, but a second time?!*
**[16:49] Was**
*Wait a moment.*
**[16:51] Was**
*This isn't the absolute worst.*
**[16:55] Was**
* The winning tiles are coming*
* to me like tsunami waves.*
**[17:03] Was**
*I've got luck on my side.*
**[17:06] Was**
* Would I have drawn my*
* winning tiles twice otherwise?*
**[17:13] Was**
*No, no. That's not right.*
**[17:16] Was**
*Don't be misled now.*
**[17:18] Was**
* In order to get into tenpai, I would*
* have had to discard the 2 of bamboo,*
**[17:22] Was**
*his most probable winning tile.*
**[17:26] Was**
*I would have been in tenpai,*
**[17:28] Was**
* but the tile I'd need to discard*
* would have led to his win.*
**[17:34] Was**
*This is the very archetype of bad luck.*
**[17:38] Was**
*That's where I am.*
**[17:42] Was**
*I must not be misled...*
**[17:46] Was**
*The 5 of bamboo dora?*
**[17:54] Was**
* I break it again and again,*
* but it keeps reviving...*
**[17:59] Was**
* What's more, every time,*
* it's a better hand than before.*
**[18:07] Was**
*A tsumo san ankou, and now with dora, too.*
**[18:11] Was**
*One reverse dora and it'd be a haneman.*
**[18:17] aka**
Pon.
**[18:18] was**
*What? It can't be!*
**[18:21] was**
*A pon means...*
**[18:24] was**
*He wasn't in tenpai?!*
**[18:28] was**
*Which means...*
**[18:30] was**
*If I hadn't backed down, I would have won.*
**[18:34] was**
*With that san ankou mangan hand from before!*
**[18:41] was**
*This brat is screwing with me!*
**[18:47] was**
*I was misled...*
**[18:50] was**
*By those calls,*
**[18:52] was**
*and by those opaque tiles...*
**[18:56] was**
*He totally played me.*
**[19:01] was**
*Then just draw it.*
**[19:04] was**
* East wind or 2 of bamboo.*
* That will settle this!*
**[19:11] was**
*What is this? This means that his wait*
**[19:18] was**
*can only be this red dragon.*
**[19:22] was**
* On top of being played,*
* now I get this one, too.*
**[19:26] was**
* There's no way he's not in*
* tenpai after all these calls.*
**[19:31] was**
*Which means...*
**[19:34] was**
*His waits are either of these two.*
**[19:40] was**
*I know where the black 3 and 8 of bamboo are.*
**[19:49] was**
*That only leaves these two patterns.*
**[19:53] was**
* This is a painfully obvious*
* single wait on the red dragon.*
**[19:59] was**
*There's no way I can discard it.*
**[20:39] was**
*What?*
**[20:41] was**
*The opaque 6 of bamboo?!*
**[20:44] was**
* That means those two waits*
* are both impossible!*
**[20:50] was**
*Which means... he's not in tenpai?*
**[20:54] was**
*Not in tenpai?!*
**[20:57] was**
*He called three times, and he's not in tenpai?!*
**[21:03] was**
* I could have won, numerous times.*
* Numerous times! Numerous times!*
**[21:12] was**
* The gods had chosen me.*
* They kept pushing on my back!*
**[21:17] was**
*"Win! Kill!"*
**[21:19] was**
*"Kill the monster," they kept shouting!*
**[21:25] was**
* Because my vision was clouded,*
* I allowed that monster to live.*
**[21:41] oug**
He knows.
**[22:01] was**
*Now I'm absolutely certain.*
**[22:05] was**
* That my luck right now is powerful.*
* That my destiny is to prosper!*
**[22:13] was**
*I just didn't see it.*
**[22:16] was**
*I just didn't recognize the truth in it.*
**[22:21] was**
I guess this hand ends in a draw.
But I'm in tenpai, so that's fine.
**[22:25] yas**
Me, too. No blood will flow.
**[22:28] was**
But I'm still the dealer.
**[22:33] was**
Hey! Bring me some shaved ice,
with a deep crimson, blood-like syrup!
**[22:39] guy**
Yes, sir.
**[22:45] aka**
I was right. It's beginning to sprout.
**[22:48] was**
What is?
**[22:54] aka**
Fear.
**[22:57] aka**
The seeds of fear I've been
planting in you this whole time
**[23:01] aka**
are finally beginning to sprout.
**[23:05] aka**
That's why you couldn't see
through my obvious bluff,
**[23:11] aka**
and kept breaking your own tenpai,
over and over and over.
**[23:19] was**
Why should I fear you?
**[23:25] was**
All I must do
**[23:29] was**
is turn everything red,
**[23:33] was**
burn everything down.

* I won't allow you to tempt*
* me to cheapen my hand.*
**[29:39] was**
*I can draw them.*
**[29:41] was**
* The only tiles that will touch*
* my hand are honor tiles.*
**[29:51] oka**
*Tenpai!*
**[29:53] oka**
*He did it even without Suzuki's help.*
**[29:57] oka**
*The two dora addition means...*
**[30:03] oka**
*Dealer baiman. 24,000 points.*
**[30:07] oug**
*Impossible.*
**[30:09] oug**
* In just two turns, he's in tenpai*
* with a honrou honitsu chiitoitsu,*
**[30:12] oug**
*two-dora hand, a dealer baiman.*
**[30:15] oug**
*Is he going to win with this now?*
**[30:17] oug**
* Or is he going to ride this*
* momentum and climb even higher?*
**[30:23] oug**
*A tsuuiisou by discarding the two 1 of circles?*
**[30:26] oug**
*Will he take it that far?*
**[30:26] (Flashback) was**
Pon.
**[30:29] (Flashback) was**
Pon.
**[30:38] oug**
*Which will it be?*
**[30:41] oug**
*Which is it going to be, Washizu Iwao?!*
**[30:45] oka**
* Judging by his character, Washizu-sama*
* only has eyes for the tsuuiisou now.*
**[30:51] oka**
* He'll discard the 1 of circles.*
* He won't extinguish this flame now.*
**[30:54] oka**
* Regardless of the outcome, he'll let*
* this hand burn as high as it can.*
**[31:03] oka**
*What?*
**[31:07] oka**
*Why didn't he go for the tsuuiisou?*
**[31:09] oka**
*This isn't like him.*
**[31:11] oka**
* Suzuki didn't have the green*
* dragon he was waiting on.*
**[31:16] yas**
* He discarded one of the three south*
* winds he had. He's made his choice.*
**[31:20] yas**
* He dropped the tsuuiisou and went*
* for the honrou honitsu chiitoitsu,*
**[31:26] yas**
*two-dora dealer baiman hand.*
**[31:30] oka**
*I see! The tsuuiisou is no good.*
**[31:34] oka**
* There are three green dragons left,*
* but if he goes for a tsuuiisou,*
**[31:38] oka**
* the east wind and red dragon*
* waits are not good.*
**[31:41] oka**
* Akagi has one of each,*
* and the cop has an east wind.*
**[31:47] oka**
*That only leaves one red dragon.*
**[31:49] oka**
*That explains his choice.*
**[31:53] oka**
*No, rather, it necessitates this choice.*
**[31:56] oka**
*This hand must be a chiitoitsu hand.*
**[32:00] oka**
*Washizu-sama is amazing. He knew it.*
**[32:03] oka**
*He's calm. He's not letting this hand drive him.*
**[32:07] oka**
*Of course not.*
**[32:08] oka**
* He can't let this hand slip away,*
* when it has such potential.*
**[32:13] oka**
* No matter what anyone says,*
* the main priority here is to win.*
**[32:24] was**
*I see. I figured you wouldn't fall for it, Akagi.*
**[32:29] was**
*But I wonder what that cop will do.*
**[32:35] was**
*Are you sure about this?*
**[32:37] was**
* Unless you say something,*
* this man's mediocre at best.*
**[32:42] was**
*He'll let go of the treasure...*
**[32:54] yas**
*He broke apart the south wind triplet*
**[32:56] yas**
* and gave up on the tsuuiisou*
* to go for a chiitoitsu.*
**[33:00] yas**
* If he gets a tsumo, it's a dealer*
* baiman tsumo, 8,000 from all.*
**[33:04] yas**
*Which means Akagi will lose 800 cc of blood.*
**[33:09] yas**
*If he loses 2,800 cc total,*
**[33:12] yas**
*it's absolutely a lethal amount. He'll die.*
**[33:16] yas**
* I have to do everything I can*
* to prevent that tsumo win.*
**[33:22] yas**
*But Akagi's honitsu is still far away.*
**[33:27] yas**
*It's up to me.*
**[33:29] yas**
*I have to win and get us out of this danger.*
**[33:47] was**
You thought it was going to
be a chiitoitsu, didn't you?
**[33:51] was**
You moron.
**[33:54] was**
Pon.
**[33:55] yas**
What?
**[33:56] was**
This east wind. Pon!
**[33:58] yas**
Impossible! You threw it away!
You broke your south wind triplet!
**[34:02] was**
I had to do that, or you wouldn't
have discarded the east wind.
**[34:08] was**
The crucial point for this hand was
whether I could call an east wind or not.
**[34:12] was**
For that end, just one south wind is nothing.
**[34:15] yas**
Just one?
**[34:18] was**
Pon.
**[34:23] was**
I can get it back easily.
**[34:27] oug**
This can't get worse.
**[34:32] yas**
*One tile away from a tsuuiisou tenpai.*
**[34:35] yas**
* And the last pieces missing,*
* the west wind and the white dragon,*
**[34:39] yas**
*are both in Suzuki's hand.*
**[34:41] yas**
Damn... How could I mess this up?
**[34:47] was**
Pon.
**[34:51] oka**
* Everything was a ploy to lure*
* out the east wind from that cop.*
**[34:55] oka**
*This was his goal from the start.*
**[34:56] oka**
* A tsuuiisou hand with a white*
* dragon and red dragon wait,*
**[34:59] oka**
*which Suzuki would deal into.*
**[35:02] oka**
*It'll finally be over,*
**[35:08] oka**
*with Suzuki dealing into it!*
**[35:28] guys**
We won!
**[35:29] guys**
Washizu-sama!
**[35:30] ---**
It's over.
**[35:31] oug**
It's all over now.
**[35:34] was**
Pon.
**[35:36] guy**
Huh?
**[35:37] was**
Pon.
**[35:39] oug**
Huh?
**[35:46] oug**
I don't know what's going on,
but we survived, Akagi!
**[35:48] oka**
Washizu-sama, what is the meaning of this?!
**[35:55] was**
This is the moment.
**[35:57] oka**
What?
**[35:59] was**
Isn't that right, Akagi Shigeru?
**[36:05] oug**
What is this Mahjong?!
Unthinkably ignoring tiles!
**[36:07] oug**
Unthinkable pons! Unthinkable naked waits!
**[36:09] oug**
I don't get it. I don't get it at all!
**[36:13] was**
You boys would not understand.
**[36:15] suz**
Washizu-sama!
**[36:17] was**
Don't worry, Suzuki.
**[36:20] was**
* Normally I'd put myself into a safe*
* position by winning this yakuman.*
**[36:26] was**
*There'd be no problem with that.*
**[36:27] was**
*However, this monster is different.*
**[36:31] was**
*You never know what he'll do.*
**[36:35] was**
* But the one who will draw the last*
* red dragon, without a doubt, is me.*
**[36:42] was**
Who but me could draw it?
**[36:49] nar**
Then, Akagi showed a single ray of hope.
**[37:01] was**
How...
**[37:03] was**
could you get the red dragon?!
**[37:15] aka**
Pon.
**[37:18] was**
* It's almost as if he's got*
* his honitsu together now.*
**[37:23] was**
*What insolence.*
**[37:26] was**
* There's no way you can have*
* that kind of hand right now.*
**[37:31] was**
* I'm sure he's bluffing.*
* I'm 99% sure that he's bluffing.*
**[37:37] was**
*But I'm out of red dragons. I can't win now...*
**[37:49] was**
*Whose side are the heavens on?*
**[37:53] was**
* On the side of the monster?*
* Or on the side of the king, me?*
**[38:03] was**
What is this?
**[38:07] oka**
*Another honor tile. And it's a north wind!*
**[38:10] oka**
* Which means he can switch from*
* the red dragon to wait on that.*
**[38:14] oka**
* And even better, Suzuki has*
* one of the north winds.*
**[38:19] oka**
*He can deal into it right away.*
**[38:21] oka**
* On top of the tsuuiisou,*
* he'll get a shousuushii, too.*
***SIGN*** Shousuushii - A hand containing three each of three winds plus a pair of the fourth.
**[38:24] oka**
*A dealer double yakuman, worth 96,000 points!*
**[38:36] was**
*Because you drew the red dragon,*
**[38:39] was**
* I momentarily had the illusion that*
* the gods' favor had shifted to you.*
**[38:46] was**
The gods have chosen me, Washizu Iwao.
**[38:52] oug**
What?
**[38:54] ysa**
A single wait on the north wind?
**[38:56] was**
*I don't need the red dragon.*
**[38:59] was**
* The gods were not satisfied*
* with just a tsuuiisou.*
**[39:06] was**
* With this tsuuiisou, shousuushii,*
* he won't lose only his blood.*
**[39:12] was**
*I'll drain him completely of all his fluids.*
**[39:16] was**
*To see the monster in its death throes,*
**[39:22] was**
*to see his final, writhing moment, is their wish!*
**[39:28] was**
*You can tell, can't you, brat?*
**[39:35] oug**
I can't believe this luck.
**[39:36] yas**
What's more important right now is
whether Suzuki has a north wind or not.
**[39:45] yas**
Don't tell me...
**[39:47] was**
Of course he has it.
**[39:56] suz**
Washizu-sama, then...
**[39:59] Was**
No, even if you discard it, I won't take it.
**[40:03] suz**
Huh?
**[40:04] was**
That north wind is a tile
that I will draw myself.
**[40:09] ---**
What?!
**[40:10] suz**
Washizu-sama, with all due respect, that's...
**[40:13] oug**
The lunatic's starting to babble nonsense again.
**[40:16] oka**
When you say you'll draw it yourself,
**[40:17] oka**
you mean to say that you'll
wait one turn instead of
**[40:20] oka**
having Suzuki deal into your hand?
**[40:22] was**
Of course.
**[40:24] oka**
Then that can't happen. It's not possible.
**[40:28] oka**
Please take a look at the
miracle before your eyes.
**[40:31] oka**
There's absolutely no reason
to insist on a tsumo win!
**[40:35] oka**
This is a dealer double yakuman,
worth 96,000 points.
**[40:38] oka**
It's not just 9,600 points!
**[40:39] suz**
Washizu-sama, I also have to say
**[40:41] suz**
that winning is your only choice this time!
**[40:43] suz**
Akagi called twice and discarded
the 5 of characters.
**[40:46] suz**
It's very likely that he's in honitsu tenpai.
**[40:48] suz**
If Akagi gets something in the next turn...
**[40:50] was**
Akagi is bluffing.
**[40:52] suz**
But—
**[40:53] was**
He's bluffing.
**[41:00] oka**
Washizu-sama...
**[41:03] oka**
I've been by your side for over a decade.
**[41:08] oka**
I've witnessed your incredible luck all this time.
**[41:14] oka**
But right now is a time when we must
create an absolutely solid foundation.
**[41:20] oka**
We should avoid the risk of
even losing a single hair.
**[41:23] oka**
Avoid that, and get insurance
with this double yakuman.
**[41:27] oka**
That is the only choice right now!
**[41:30] oka**
Even if it is you, Washizu-sama.
**[41:33] was**
He's got a trash hand.
Don't make me repeat myself.
**[41:36] oka**
Let's say that's true.
But what about that cop?
**[41:44] oka**
As you can see, his hand is coming together.
**[41:48] was**
He's not in tenpai yet.
**[41:53] oka**
That may be true, but after
the discard of the east wind,
**[41:57] oka**
don't you think he must be
about two tiles away now?
**[42:02] oka**
That's enough to be dangerous.
**[42:04] oka**
It means he could get two useful
tiles in a row and be in tenpai.
**[42:09] oka**
And if you draw the tile he
needs the next turn, that's it.
**[42:13] oka**
This monster hand will fade away before
Suzuki can even get to his turn.
**[42:18] oka**
Please understand.
**[42:21] oka**
If that happens, your double
yakuman will come to nothing!
**[42:27] oka**
Washizu-sama!
**[42:27] guys**
Washizu-sama!
**[42:28] guys**
Washizu-sama!
**[42:30] oka**
Do you understand our counsel?
**[42:37] was**
Counsel?
**[42:40] was**
You dare counsel me?!
**[42:44] oka**
I apologize!
**[42:47] oka**
However, we are all in agreement.
**[42:51] oka**
Please!
**[42:54] was**
Why can you not believe in my brute luck?
**[42:59] oka**
Of course, you are someone who surpasses
all the standards of ordinary people.
**[43:05] oka**
You're a king, a god.
**[43:06] oka**
But still, even then!
**[43:09] oka**
The future is never certain!
**[43:13] oka**
Please, Washizu-sama, please give heed
to our words and secure it right now.
**[43:19] oka**
Secure this double yakuman now!
**[43:23] suz**
Your ruin is our ruin, as well.
**[43:26] suz**
Just for this one hand,
please allow me to deal into your hand!
**[43:30] guys**
Please!
**[43:31] guys**
Please!
**[43:37] was**
Why should I listen to your nonsense?!
**[43:43] oka**
Washizu-sama...
**[43:48] oka**
Then we will discard.
**[43:51] oka**
Regardless of what you say,
**[43:54] oka**
we unanimously agree to
discard the north wind.
**[43:58] was**
I will not take it!
**[44:00] oka**
If you're going to draw the north wind
anyway, there should be no problem.
**[44:03] oka**
You never needed the north wind
in his hand to begin with.
**[44:06] was**
That's correct.
**[44:10] oka**
Washizu-sama, you're fire
and ice, madness and wisdom.
**[44:14] oka**
You're someone who possesses both extremes.
**[44:16] oka**
We have faith
**[44:18] oka**
that you will take it if we deal it!
**[44:21] oka**
Suzuki, no matter what Washizu-sama
is saying, I'm sure he will take it.
**[44:26] oka**
That's the kind of man he is.
**[44:27] suz**
All right.
**[44:32] oka**
What we have to be wary
of right now is Akagi.
**[44:35] oka**
Don't let him get any draws.
He's the scary element here.
**[44:38] oka**
So settle it now! End it here!
**[44:46] oug**
We might actually make it through this pinch.
**[44:49] ---**
Yeah...
**[44:50] yas**
That hand may be huge, but it's a
naked wait on just the north wind.
**[44:56] yas**
What's more, there are only
two more left in the hole.
**[44:59] oug**
Yes. So if he doesn't call the discard now,
he won't be able to win easily.
**[45:05] ysa**
Right, if Washizu refuses to take it.
**[45:32] oka**
Washizu-sama!
**[45:33] suz**
Washizu-sama!
**[45:34] guys**
Washizu-sama!
**[45:40] oka**
Washizu-sama!
**[45:43] oka**
The double yakuman... will vanish...
**[45:47] was**
Do not worry!
**[45:50] was**
I will draw that north wind with
this hand right here! Just watch!
**[46:09] was**
*This boy...*
**[46:11] was**
*I forego a guaranteed double yakuman win,*
**[46:16] was**
* and he doesn't even care one bit*
* about this abnormal development?*
**[46:37] was**
*Akagi's blood!*
**[46:44] was**
That's right.
**[46:47] was**
I wanted to burn you to cinders!
**[47:17] suz**
Washizu-sama!
**[47:18] oka**
He took it!
**[47:19] Guy**
We did it!
**[47:20] oka**
96,000 points!
**[47:20] guy**
A double yakuman!
This guarantees our victory!
**[47:22] guy**
Yes! We can do this!
**[47:24] was**
* With this luck, I was absolutely*
* guaranteed to draw that tile!*
**[47:34] was**
I had no intention of winning there!
**[47:40] aka**
It looks like you weren't able to burn
those seeds of fear to cinders.
**[47:54] aka**
Your fear of ruin, your fear of death,
**[47:59] aka**
made you more and more bloated.
**[48:03] aka**
With the idea that you could kill me
absolutely, totally, without fail.
**[48:09] was**
I *will* kill you.
**[48:14] aka**
Why don't you give it up already?
**[48:19] aka**
No matter how much money you amass,
**[48:21] aka**
no matter how much luxury
you surround yourself with,
**[48:25] aka**
you're nothing but a king
of this illusionary world.
**[48:28] aka**
You will die, just like everybody else.
**[48:45] aka**
Give it up already, Washizu Iwao.
**[48:49] aka**
You, too, will die,
**[48:51] aka**
with all the regrets you have now.

**[00:07] (Flashback) oka**
The double yakuman... will vanish...
**[00:10] (Flashback) was**
Do not worry!
**[00:13] (Flashback) was**
I will draw that north wind
with this hand right here!
**[00:21] (Flashback) was**
I wanted to burn you to cinders!
**[00:30] (Flashback) suz**
Washizu-sama!
**[00:31] (Flashback) oka**
He took it!
**[00:32] (Flashback) Guy**
We did it!
**[00:32] (Flashback) oka**
96,000 points!
**[00:33] (Flashback) guy**
A double yakuman!
This guarantees our victory!
**[00:35] (Flashback) was**
I had no intention to win there!
**[00:41] (Flashback) aka**
It looks like you weren't able to burn
those seeds of fear to cinders.
**[00:49] (Flashback) aka**
Give it up already, Washizu Iwao.
**[00:53] (Flashback) aka**
You, too, will die.
**[00:56] (Flashback) aka**
With all the regrets you have now.
**[01:07] Men**
We knew you could do it, Washizu-sama!
**[01:09] Men**
Nearly 100,000 points separate you from Akagi.
**[01:12] Men**
You did it! You finally did it.
**[01:15] Oka**
Washizu-sama?
**[01:16] Oka**
Are you all right?
**[01:21] Was**
I could have killed him with a tsumo!
**[01:26] Was**
I failed to finish him!
**[01:29] Oka**
What are you saying, sir?
**[01:31] Oka**
You finished him!
**[01:34] Guy**
A dealer's double yakuman.
**[01:35] Guy**
Tsuuiisou, shousuushii.
**[01:37] Guy**
With this, you're now 99,000
points ahead of Akagi.
**[01:41] Oka**
This gap of nearly 100,000
points is overwhelming.
**[01:44] Oka**
Akagi or not, he can't
possibly regain the lead now.
**[01:47] Oka**
Your victory is practically ensured.
**[01:52] Yasu**
Damn it.
**[01:54] Yasu**
99,000 points...
**[01:57] Yasu**
This is insane.
**[01:58] oug**
And only six hands are left.
**[02:01] oug**
If you don't regain the lead in the
next six hands, we're all dead.
**[02:08] Yasu**
I'm sorry.
**[02:09] Yasu**
If I hadn't let him call that east wind,
this might not have happened.
**[02:22] (Flashback) was**
This east wind. Pon!
**[02:24] (Flashback) yas**
Impossible! You threw it away!
You broke your south wind triplet!
**[02:28] (Flashback) was**
I had to do that, or you wouldn't
have discarded the east wind.
**[02:32] (Flashback) Yasu**
Damn... How could I mess this up?
**[02:35] Aka**
Stop it.
**[02:37] Yasu**
Akagi...
**[02:41] Aka**
Just so you know,
**[02:43] Aka**
I intend to win.
**[02:58] Aka**
Stop dwelling on a hand that's already over.
**[03:07] Aka**
We're starting.
**[03:09] Aka**
East Hand 3, bonus 2.
**[03:12] Aka**
It's not over.
**[03:14] Aka**
The battle's not over yet.
**[03:20] Aka**
Just so you know,
**[03:24] Aka**
I intend to win.
**[03:33] Was**
How amusing!
***SIGN*** Episode 9
***SIGN*** Washizu Mahjong
**[03:54] Nar**
Washizu Mahjong.
**[03:58] Nar**
These are the tiles used.
**[04:03] Nar**
Three of the four tiles in
each suit are transparent,
**[04:06] Nar**
making their faces visible even from the back,
**[04:11] Nar**
and only one is a regular tile
with a black back.
**[04:18] Nar**
No walls are built in Washizu Mahjong.
**[04:22] Nar**
Tiles for the starting hand and each draw are
taken from a hole in the middle of the table,
**[04:31] Nar**
wearing a leather glove on the right hand
to prevent feeling which tile is grabbed.
**[04:51] Nar**
Once the starting hands are drawn,
the dealer draws one more tile from the hole.
**[04:55] Nar**
This is the dora indicator.
**[05:00] Nar**
The same applies to reverse
dora and new dora from kan,
**[05:06] Nar**
which are drawn from the
hole when the need arises.
**[05:12] Nar**
If Akagi can survive through six East-South
matches with these rules, his side wins.
**[05:18] Nar**
Should he die before then,
**[05:22] Nar**
he will lose all that he had
amassed up to that point,
**[05:26] Nar**
and victory will go to Washizu's side.
***SIGN*** 1000 points = 1 million
**[05:30] Nar**
The rate is set at 1,000 points
being worth 1 million yen,
**[05:33] Nar**
or 100 cc of blood.
***SIGN*** 1000 points = 100 cc of blood
**[05:36] Nar**
It's a one-on-one match
between Akagi and Washizu.
**[05:40] Nar**
At the end of each East-South match,
points are tallied up, including rank bonuses.
**[05:46] Nar**
Additionally, bonus payments
are due every time a direct hit
**[05:51] Nar**
or a tsumo win causes points to trade
hands between Akagi and Washizu.
**[05:57] Nar**
These payments are made
immediately, in cash or blood.
**[06:05] Nar**
This is the essence of Washizu Mahjong.
***SIGN*** Washizu Mahjong

***SIGN*** East Hand 3, Bonus 2
**[06:22] oug**
* Such a genius, and he's*
* saying he intends to win.*
**[06:27] oug**
*What choice do I have but to believe him?*
**[06:31] oug**
*99,000 points.*
**[06:34] oug**
* If anyone can overcome such*
* a hopeless gap, it's Akagi.*
**[06:39] Nar**
However, Akagi's starting hand is awful.
**[06:43] Nar**
He has no melds, and he has eight
honor and terminal tiles of seven types.
**[06:48] Nar**
The only thing that could potentially
come of it is a kokushi musou.
***SIGN*** Kokushi musou: Yakuman hand with one of each terminal and honor tile, plus one tile that matches any of the other 13.
**[06:53] Nar**
Meanwhile,
**[06:54] Nar**
eleven of Washizu's tiles are
unique terminal and honor tiles.
**[06:59] Nar**
Here, too, the scent of a
kokushi musou is in the air.
**[07:06] Nar**
They both have a chance of a kokushi,
but their hands are worlds apart.
**[07:21] Was**
*Good!*
**[07:23] Was**
*One tile from tenpai in just two turns!*
**[07:26] Was**
*The kokushi is right in front of me.*
**[08:12] Was**
*I got it! The 9 of bamboo!*
**[08:15] Was**
* The kokushi for the yakuman*
* that will finish him is in tenpai!*
**[08:18] Was**
*I'm waiting on the white dragon.*
**[08:21] Was**
* If I win with this kokushi, even if it's*
* played into my hand, that's 48,600 points.*
**[08:27] Was**
* The gap between Akagi and me will*
* widen to almost 150,000 points!*
**[08:33] Was**
* You blabbered that you intend*
* to win, but look at you.*
**[08:38] Was**
*Have you run out of tricks to play?*
**[08:43] oug**
*What's going on?*
**[08:45] oug**
*I've got a bad feeling.*
**[08:47] oug**
*Don't tell me...*
**[08:49] oug**
*Washizu's actually in tenpai, with a kokushi?!*
**[08:54] oug**
* He's got each 1 and 9 tile and each honor*
* tile, no duplicates, and he's in tenpai?*
**[08:58] oug**
*Impossible!*
**[09:00] oug**
*If it's true, we're doomed.*
**[09:02] oug**
*He'll win!*
**[09:04] oug**
* If that's the wave Washizu's riding,*
* he's likely to win within three turns.*
**[09:10] oug**
*Damn it...*
**[09:12] oug**
*His hand is still nowhere.*
**[09:14] oug**
*We're doomed.*
**[09:16] oug**
*He can't fight Washizu's brute luck.*
**[09:18] oug**
*He's too fast.*
**[09:21] oug**
* The match will be decided before*
* our side can do a single thing!*
**[09:25] Aka**
I've caught you.
**[09:32] Aka**
Riichi.
**[09:39] oug**
*R-Riichi?*
**[09:42] oug**
*He can't be serious. He's too far away.*
**[09:45] oug**
* What's the point of calling riichi when*
* you're not anywhere close to tenpai?*
**[09:49] oug**
*He'll figure out right away that it's a bluff.*
**[09:56] oug**
*Wait, I get it.*
**[09:58] oug**
* From Washizu's angle,*
* Akagi's hand looks like this.*
**[10:04] oug**
* If you assume that all the black*
* tiles fit into the crucial spots,*
**[10:09] oug**
*that the ideal lineup of tiles is already here,*
**[10:14] oug**
*then it's just barely possible.*
**[10:16] oug**
*An imaginary, fictitious, hypothetical,*
**[10:19] oug**
*illusionary kokushi is possible!*
**[10:20] oug**
*He's back on his feet.*
**[10:23] oug**
*This kokushi musou face-off is something else.*
**[10:27] oug**
*Akagi was building it...*
**[10:30] oug**
*A totally unexpected castle!*
**[10:33] oug**
*An illusionary castle.*
**[10:35] oug**
*An illusionary kokushi!*
**[10:37] Was**
What, what, what, what, what, what?
**[10:42] Guy**
Washizu-sama, this is...
**[10:44] Was**
Not a problem.
**[10:47] Was**
If I draw my winning tile now, it's all over.
**[10:53] Guy**
Yes, sir...
**[10:56] Was**
I'm drawing it...
**[10:59] oug**
*If Washizu draws it, that's it. Akagi's dead!*
**[11:04] oug**
*Please, don't draw it!*
**[11:06] oug**
*Don't draw it!*
**[11:19] oug**
*The west wind!*
**[11:21] Nar**
If, hypothetically, Akagi were
in tenpai with a kokushi hand,
**[11:25] Nar**
the 9 of characters, the 9 of bamboo,
**[11:27] Nar**
the east wind, the north
wind, the white dragon,
**[11:30] Nar**
and the west wind could be his winning tiles.
**[11:35] Was**
I expect nothing less of Akagi Shigeru.
**[11:38] Was**
Even when your chips are
down, you're on my tail.
**[11:44] Was**
A praiseworthy kokushi.
**[11:49] Was**
You did well to complete it.
**[11:56] Was**
However, it is nothing but a paper tiger.
**[12:00] Was**
A gutsy bluff.
**[12:03] Was**
I'll discard this west wind for you.
**[12:09] All**
Washizu-sama!
**[12:10] Was**
What?!
**[12:12] All**
You mustn't.
**[12:13] All**
You must avoid a kokushi direct hit!
**[12:16] Was**
It's impossible!
**[12:18] Oku**
That does seem likely...
**[12:19] Was**
He's merely using the opaque tiles to
create a bluff that gives him a way out.
**[12:25] Was**
I am 100% certain.
**[12:30] Oku**
But that wouldn't explain the
opaque tile on the second turn.
**[12:36] Was**
Opaque tile?
**[12:37] Oku**
Once Akagi saw the direction
your hand was taking,
**[12:40] Oku**
he must have wanted every single opaque tile.
**[12:43] Oku**
And yet, on only the second turn,
he discarded an opaque tile.
**[12:47] Oku**
Which means there may be another possibility here.
**[12:51] Was**
Possibility?
**[12:53] Aka**
*I left it there.*
**[12:55] Aka**
*I sacrificed speed to do it.*
**[12:58] Aka**
*My hand was one step slower,*
**[13:00] Aka**
* but once I got to my riichi,*
* that opaque tile revealed its power.*
**[13:07] Aka**
*The power to sow the seed of confusion.*
**[13:10] Aka**
*Once they saw it, the seed sprouted,*
**[13:13] Aka**
*grew vines, and began to strangle his heart.*
**[13:18] Aka**
*It's pulling my enemy in.*
**[13:22] Aka**
* Pulling him into turmoil...*
* into the labyrinthine forest.*
**[13:28] Was**
Idiots!
**[13:30] Was**
There is no way he's in tenpai.
**[13:33] Was**
He doesn't have a kokushi.
**[13:34] Oku**
B-But, sir, he is in riichi.
**[13:38] Oku**
If it ends in a draw and
**[13:40] Oku**
he isn't in tenpai, he'll pay a
mangan penalty of 8,000 points.
**[13:42] Oku**
As dealer, that will be 4,000 points to you,
**[13:45] Oku**
and Akagi himself will lose 400 cc of blood.
**[13:48] Oku**
If he loses that amount
of blood now, he will die.
**[13:52] Oku**
He wouldn't take a risk like that, unless—
**[13:53] Was**
You understand nothing.
**[13:57] Was**
He's already thrown his life away.
**[14:00] Was**
Declaring a riichi out of tenpai,
**[14:02] Was**
discarding that opaque tile on the second
turn... Those were all just distractions.
**[14:07] Was**
Nothing more than his old tricks.
**[14:13] Oku**
Washizu-sama, we understand what you're saying.
**[14:16] Oku**
And I, myself, believe that it
is most likely just as you say.
**[14:22] Oku**
But I'm asking you now to keep a cool head
**[14:26] Oku**
and consider this situation for one moment.
**[14:28] All**
Washizu-sama!
***SIGN*** Washizu
122,800 points
***SIGN*** Current Point Difference
***SIGN*** Akagi
23,800 points
**[14:35] Nar**
Currently, Washizu is in first place,
**[14:37] Nar**
with a 99,000 point lead over Akagi.
***SIGN*** points
**[14:41] Nar**
It's an overwhelming security padding.
**[14:44] Nar**
Yet, on the off-chance that his
**[14:47] Nar**
discarded west wind *does* deal
into Akagi's kokushi hand...
**[14:50] (Flashback) Aka**
Ron.
**[14:52] (Flashback) Aka**
Kokushi musou.
**[14:53] (Flashback) Aka**
32,000, and with the two
counters, that's 32,600.
***SIGN*** In the case of dealing into a yakuman hand now
***SIGN*** Washizu
***SIGN*** Akagi
**[14:58] Nar**
With the two counters,
a yakuman is worth 32,600 points.
**[15:03] Nar**
Once the points shift from
the payer to the payee,
**[15:07] Nar**
the point difference closes by 65,200 points.
**[15:11] Nar**
Meaning the current 99,000 point gap will
**[15:15] Nar**
shrink down to a 33,800 point gap.
***SIGN*** points
**[15:20] nar**
This means that a dealer direct hit haneman
**[15:24] nar**
would be enough to take the lead.
**[15:38] Aka**
*Which way will it fall?*
**[15:41] Aka**
*If Washizu cuts ties with reason*
**[15:45] Aka**
* and gives himself up to his own*
* genius level instinct, his madness,*
**[15:51] Aka**
*I will*
**[15:54] Aka**
*lose.*
**[15:59] Was**
*I see...*
**[16:02] Was**
* This isn't something I*
* should be agonizing over.*
**[16:19] Was**
* What I need to do is build an iron wall*
* and avoid even the smallest risk.*
**[16:30] Guy**
Washizu-sama!
**[16:31] Guy**
That is the right conclusion.
**[16:37] Aka**
*Looks like he chose reason.*
**[16:46] Nar**
Two turns later, Washizu draws
**[16:49] Nar**
the white dragon, his
kokushi hand's winning tile.
**[16:59] Guy**
Washizu-sama, it couldn't be helped.
**[17:04] Guy**
It couldn't be helped.
**[17:29] Nar**
And then, on the 10th turn...
**[17:51] Suzu**
Tsumo only.
**[17:52] Suzu**
300, 500. With the two counters, that's 500, 700.
**[18:03] Oku**
Sir, you just played the best hand possible.
**[18:06] Oku**
This playing style is rock solid.
**[18:09] Oku**
He looks nonchalant,
**[18:10] Oku**
but this must be the playing
style Akagi hates the most!
**[18:19] Was**
What?!
**[18:20] Was**
You dare laugh at me?!
**[18:24] Was**
You laugh because you think I got
scared and let my win slip away?!
**[18:27] yas**
Washizu!
**[18:28] oug**
Hey!
**[18:52] was**
In order to kill him,
**[18:56] was**
I must withstand every insult he throws at me.
**[19:01] Oku**
Your words couldn't be more true, sir!
**[19:04] Oku**
That's exactly right.
**[19:06] Oku**
For our victory, what's important
now is an ironclad defense!
**[19:09] Guy**
To protect your lead!
**[19:10] Guy**
With Suzuki's tsumo, we have a 99,800 lead.
**[19:13] Guy**
We don't need any more points.
**[19:15] Guy**
What we need to focus on is keeping
our win through the remaining hands.
**[19:18] Guy**
That is, avoid all skirmishes.
This is the best strategy.
**[19:21] oka**
If we stop fighting him now with
a lead of almost 100,000 points,
**[19:24] oka**
there's nothing Akagi can do.
**[19:27] oka**
Tsumo wins or having
others play into his hands
**[19:29] oka**
won't be enough to touch your lead.
**[19:32] oka**
What he wants is a direct hit off of you.
**[19:35] guy**
He wants you to engage him at any cost.
**[19:39] guy**
That's why he laughs like that.
**[19:42] oka**
That laugh is the last fight left in him.
**[19:46] oka**
He wants to use it to goad you
into interacting with him.
**[19:50] oka**
You must not give in to him.
**[19:51] guy**
All that would do is give him a chance.
**[19:54] guy**
A chance at a sliver of a hope!
**[19:55] oka**
So please, get through the next hands
without letting anything happen.
**[20:01] oka**
Even if you don't win, you will be
giving him the countdown to his death.
**[20:05] Was**
Enough!
**[20:08] Was**
Blah, blah, blah!
**[20:11] Was**
Ow...
**[20:15] oug**
This is bad.
**[20:16] oug**
We're going to have a hard
time if they take that route.
**[20:18] Yasu**
You said it.
**[20:21] oug**
* With only five hands left, we're going*
* to need a direct hit off Washizu*
**[20:24] oug**
*if we want to take the lead.*
**[20:28] oug**
* But if he's going to play strictly to*
* maintain his lead, that will be impossible.*
**[20:36] oug**
*And still, that's what Akagi will have to do.*
**[20:40] oug**
*Or I lose my arm, we lose this money,*
**[20:43] oug**
*and Akagi will lose his life.*
***SIGN*** Game 6
***SIGN*** East Hand 4
**[21:01] oug**
*I guess his starting hand isn't too bad.*
**[21:14] oug**
* I see. He's going directly*
* for a characters honitsu.*
**[21:20] oug**
*If he plays it well, he'll get an ittsuu, too.*
**[21:23] oug**
*And if he gets there with a closed hand,*
**[21:25] oug**
*with any reverse dora, it'll be a baiman.*
**[21:28] oug**
* At any rate, he needs to go for*
* the biggest hands possible now.*
**[21:34] oug**
* All right, he's got it!*
* He needed that 7 of characters.*
**[21:41] oug**
*Good! That's good!*
**[21:47] oug**
*Good!*
**[21:50] oug**
*What? The 8 of circles?!*
**[21:53] oug**
*Why did he have to draw that?!*
**[21:56] oug**
* He only needed one more for*
* a characters honitsu. Damn!*
**[22:02] oug**
*But now, if he draws the 5 of characters...*
**[22:08] oug**
* Riichi, pinfu, ittsuu.*
* It would be enough for a mangan.*
**[22:14] (Flashback) Aka**
Riichi.
**[22:18] oug**
* It's a bit sad that it kills our*
* hope for a haneman or a baiman,*
**[22:21] oug**
*but a mangan is good enough.*
**[22:29] oug**
*A 2 of characters that cheapens the hand?*
**[22:31] oug**
*What the hell? This tenpai is meaningless!*
**[22:34] oug**
* The honitsu and ittsuu are gone.*
* He's down to a pinfu only.*
**[22:38] oug**
* At a time like this, when all we need is*
* huge hands, a 2,000 point hand is useless!*
**[22:43] oug**
* Akagi, you have no choice but to*
* get rid of the 8 and 9 of circles.*
**[22:47] oug**
* Then, if you can get the 5 of characters,*
* you might make it to a honitsu ittsuu.*
**[22:55] Aka**
Riichi.
**[22:56] oug**
Wha—
**[23:06] oug**
*What the hell are you doing?*
**[23:08] oug**
*There's no way that's a good idea!*
**[23:12] oug**
*That's a 2,000 point hand!*
**[23:13] oug**
*You've got a 100,000 gap to close!*
**[23:15] oug**
*This isn't the time for these puny little wins!*
**[23:27] Was**
* If we assume that his four opaque*
* tiles are at their most ideal,*
**[23:37] Was**
* he's got a riichi, pinfu, honitsu,*
* ittsuu, iipeikou... A baiman.*
**[23:44] Was**
*That's the ideal configuration.*
**[23:47] Was**
*Normally, that's what it would be.*
**[24:15] Was**
*I'm in tenpai, too, with a chiitoitsu.*
**[24:22] Was**
* I discard the 5 of characters*
* and wait on the 4 of characters.*
**[24:28] Was**
*Even better, Suzuki has that 4 of characters.*
**[24:32] Was**
* It's an ideal configuration that*
* he can deal into right away.*
**[24:35] Was**
*However...*
**[24:38] Was**
*I'm not playing into anyone's hand.*
**[24:41] Was**
*I'm out.*
**[24:45] Aka**
Ron.
**[24:50] Aka**
Riichi, pinfu.
**[24:51] Was**
*Damn it!*
**[24:58] Aka**
One reverse dora. 3,900.
**[25:01] Was**
*I knew it, too!*
**[25:05] Was**
*I got caught in his cheap trap.*
**[25:25] yas**
Hey, Akagi.
**[25:26] yas**
What are you thinking?
**[25:28] yas**
We've only got the South round left now.
**[25:30] yas**
What good is a bunch of cheap little wins?
**[25:32] oug**
There's still a 92,000 point
gap between you and Washizu.
**[25:36] oug**
You haven't narrowed it at all.
**[25:37] oug**
What you've got to do now
is get some big hits in!
**[25:41] oug**
Don't you agree, Akagi?
**[25:42] Aka**
No.
**[25:43] Aka**
This is just fine.
**[25:47] Aka**
This hand may be cheap,
but it reflects my true style.
**[25:53] oug**
What?
**[25:58] Aka**
We're actually very close.
**[26:05] Was**
Damn it.
***SIGN*** Sixth Game
***SIGN*** South Hand 1
**[26:22] Nar**
And so, the Sound round of the final game began.
**[26:26] Nar**
Akagi finally pulls in a great wave of luck.
**[26:31] Nar**
His starting tiles show strong hints
of a yakuman daisangen hand.
***SIGN*** Daisangen - A yakuman hand with triplets of all 3 dragons (yakuman - 4x mangan)
**[26:38] Nar**
What's more, Yasuoka has the
white and red dragons in his hand.
**[26:42] Nar**
Akagi may call on them at any time.
**[26:55] oug**
*Amazing.*
**[26:57] oug**
*This is amazing!*
**[27:00] oug**
*If Akagi gets a daisangen together,*
**[27:02] oug**
* and Washizu plays into it,*
* that's a 48,000 point payoff!*
**[27:06] oug**
* With Washizu paying and Akagi receiving,*
* that'll close the gap by 96,000 points.*
**[27:11] oug**
* Until now, bridging that 92,000 point*
* gap didn't seem remotely possible.*
**[27:15] oug**
*But this will blow it away!*
**[27:18] oug**
* "We're actually very close'"...*
* You were right!*

**[28:20] Nar**
In the blink of an eye, Akagi is in tenpai.
**[28:32] Nar**
But then, in the same turn...
**[28:43] Was**
*All right.*
**[28:44] Was**
*This is the end of his daisangen.*
**[28:48] Was**
* I say that because Suzuki already*
* has the opaque green dragon.*
**[28:54] Was**
*Which means that was the last one.*
**[29:01] Was**
* This means that him drawing that*
* green dragon was ideal, too.*
**[29:07] Was**
* Because now those green*
* dragons will shackle him.*
**[29:12] Was**
*It's perfectly understandable.*
**[29:14] Was**
* It was a miraculous chance*
* for a player close to death!*
**[29:20] Was**
*A once-in-a-lifetime chance at a daisangen!*
**[29:23] Was**
*Of course, he wants to get it.*
**[29:26] Was**
*So he will continue to chase it.*
**[29:29] Was**
* He'll chase after the last*
* opaque green dragon tile.*
**[29:36] Was**
*But...*
**[29:43] Was**
*He won't draw it.*
**[29:45] Was**
* You can keep drawing,*
* but you'll never draw it.*
**[29:50] Was**
*For you as well, when all's said and done, it was nothing more than a dream.*
**[29:58] Was**
*To overturn my lead...*
**[30:05] Was**
*I got it!*
**[30:07] Was**
* I discard the 9 of characters for a pinfu*
* tenpai, with a 1, 4 of circles wait.*
**[30:14] Was**
*And I know that Suzuki has the 4 of circles.*
**[30:18] Was**
*He can play it for me right away.*
**[30:20] Was**
*It's over!*
**[30:23] Was**
*The person hoping for a daisangen*
**[30:29] Was**
* must have a double pon wait for*
* the green dragon and 7 of bamboo.*
**[30:37] Was**
*This 9 of characters is no problem at all.*
**[30:40] Was**
* It'll pass, and with that,*
* he'll no longer be dealer.*
**[30:46] Was**
*There's no way*
**[30:47] Was**
* he can overturn the 92,000+ point*
* gap in the remaining three hands...*
**[30:56] Aka**
Ron.
**[31:03] Aka**
Shousangen.
***SIGN*** Shousangen - Two triplets or quads of dragons, plus a pair of the third.
**[31:04] Aka**
Dealer mangan. 12,000.
**[31:09] Was**
Damn it, I did it again!
**[31:20] Was**
* If that last discard, the 8 of*
* bamboo, were still in his hand,*
**[31:25] Was**
* he'd have had a double pon wait on*
* the 8 of bamboo and the green dragon.*
**[31:29] Was**
* He could have kept that*
* daisangen a possibility!*
**[31:33] Was**
* He discarded that 8 of bamboo before*
* Suzuki drew the green dragon.*
**[31:40] Was**
* I've got to hand it to him.*
* He threw away even a daisangen.*
**[31:48] Was**
* Which reminds me... The last hand,*
* too, he threw his honitsu away*
**[31:53] Was**
*for a direct 3,900 point hit!*
**[32:06] Yasu**
Akagi...
**[32:07] oug**
I don't get it.
**[32:09] oug**
What are you doing?
**[32:10] oug**
What the hell are you trying to achieve?
**[32:16] Oku**
Washizu-sama...
**[32:19] Oku**
Actually, it's almost gone.
**[32:22] Was**
Don't fret.
**[32:24] Oku**
With this last 12,000, and the previous 3,900,
**[32:28] Oku**
you've paid a 15.9 million yen
direct hit bonus to Akagi.
**[32:33] Oku**
Which means, by now, your cash is down to...
**[32:36] Oku**
Hey.
**[32:37] guy**
Yes.
**[32:40] oku**
Just this much!
**[32:41] oku**
No matter how many times I count it,
it's only 11.6 million yen!
**[32:44] Was**
I know that.
**[32:47] Oku**
Which means, if you play into
another dealer mangan hand,
**[32:50] Oku**
it will prove insufficient!
**[32:52] Was**
Silence! Enough!
**[32:58] Aka**
I'm close, aren't I, Washizu?
**[33:04] Aka**
Your back is right there.
My hand can reach your shoulder.
**[33:09] Aka**
Just one more step.
**[33:12] Aka**
Just one more breath.
**[33:16] oug**
So that's it.
**[33:19] oug**
So that's what it was!
**[33:21] oug**
You have it, don't you, Akagi?
**[33:24] oug**
A clear path to victory.
**[33:26] yas**
Akagi, I'm glad. Really glad!
**[33:30] yas**
So we do have some hope left.
**[33:33] Aka**
Knock it off.
**[33:34] Aka**
I told you that I intended to win.
**[33:36] Aka**
I never gave up.
**[33:39] Aka**
No matter how harsh the reality of it is.
**[33:48] Aka**
Shall we begin, then?
**[33:55] Aka**
South Hand 1, bonus 1.
**[33:59] Aka**
I'm staying dealer.
**[34:03] Was**
No!
**[34:05] Was**
I won't let you do that again!
**[34:11] Nar**

**[34:35] Was**
*Don't get cocky!*
**[34:37] Was**
* You think you can scare me with the prospect*
* of taking my cash with direct hits?!*
**[34:45] Was**
*Washizu Mahjong uses transparent tiles,*
**[34:48] Was**
* so once you've made up your mind to never*
* deal into anyone's hand, it's child's play.*
**[34:54] Was**
* Watch! I won't be dealing*
* into your hand again!*
**[34:58] Was**
*Never again!*
**[35:00] Was**
* First, I've got to dethrone this*
* monster from his dealer seat.*
**[35:06] Was**
*All right, not too bad.*
**[35:09] Was**
*The problem is his hand.*
**[35:14] Was**
* Good! No matter how I look at it,*
* I'm coming out on top here.*
**[35:22] Was**
*Of course, even a cheap hand is fine.*
**[35:25] Was**
* However, since I absolutely won't*
* play into his hand anymore,*
**[35:29] Was**
*riichi is out of the question.*
**[35:35] Was**
*Which means this red dragon is crucial.*
**[35:40] Was**
*Suzuki has one.*
**[35:44] Was**
*But I'll wait to call on it.*
**[35:48] Was**
* If push comes to shove,*
* this red dragon is a safe tile.*
**[35:52] Was**
* Once Suzuki and I are ready*
* to win, I'll call on it.*
**[35:57] Was**
*Not a moment sooner.*
**[36:30] Was**
*It couldn't be... He's in tenpai?*
**[36:35] Nar**
Washizu sees three tenpai possibilities.
**[36:46] Nar**
A 2, 5 of bamboo wait,
**[36:53] Nar**
a 5, 8 of circles wait,
**[36:56] Nar**
or...
**[37:01] Nar**
a 4, 7 of circles wait.
**[37:10] Was**
*I'm one tile away from tenpai.*
**[37:14] Was**
*And now, if I discard*
**[37:17] Was**
* the bamboo or circles, and then call*
* on the red dragon from Suzuki...*
**[37:30] Was**
*My wait could be a 3, 6 of circles,*
**[37:40] Was**
*or a closed wait for the 6 of bamboo.*
**[37:48] Was**
* Either way, Suzuki can play*
* into my hand immediately.*
**[37:53] Was**
* I'm one tile away, with a*
* guaranteed win attached to it.*
**[37:57] Was**
*However,*
**[37:59] Was**
* this 5 of bamboo, and the 4 and 5 of circles*
* are all tiles Akagi might be waiting for.*
**[38:13] Was**
* If they pass, Akagi will be*
* knocked out of the dealer seat.*
**[38:24] Was**
*Damn it!*
**[38:26] Was**
* I could dethrone him, but I'm*
* going to stay absolutely safe!*
**[38:47] Was**
*What? He's switching up his hand?!*
**[38:49] Was**
* He discarded the north wind, so I guess*
* that means he wasn't in tenpai yet.*
**[38:57] Was**
*Still, this is fine.*
**[39:01] Was**
* Right now, making sure I don't deal into*
* his hand is the highest priority.*
**[39:09] Was**
*As long as I don't do that, my lead is assured.*
**[39:15] Was**
* Just avoid all danger, then I can*
* take my time rebuilding this*
**[39:21] Was**
*into a tanyao hand.*
**[39:24] Was**
* And his discard of the north wind*
* further locks in what his hand is.*
**[39:30] Was**
* He has the north winds as his pair,*
* with a 5, 8 of circles wait.*
**[39:34] Was**
*Or, he's waiting on*
**[39:38] Was**
*the 2, 5 of bamboo.*
**[39:44] Was**
*Well, I'm not dealing into that hand.*
**[39:54] Was**
* He keeps the 8 of circles and discards*
* the 4 of bamboo, which means...*
**[40:01] Was**
*He's broken up his tenpai?*
**[40:05] Was**
*I see!*
**[40:08] Was**
*That 2, 5 of bamboo wait was just too obvious,*
**[40:13] Was**
*so he's rearranged his tenpai.*
**[40:18] Was**
*Regardless, his wait is either circles or bamboo,*
**[40:22] Was**
*and in a pinch, I've got a ton of characters.*
**[40:27] Was**
*No problem!*
**[40:34] Was**
* Since I've decided I wouldn't deal*
* into his hand, I won't do it.*
**[40:38] Was**
*You're going to shrivel up and die.*
**[40:48] Was**
*He got another one...*
**[40:50] Was**
*After the 8, now a 6 of circles.*
**[40:54] Was**
* If I recall correctly, he broke up the*
* north wind triplet to make a pair.*
**[41:06] Aka**
Riichi.
**[41:10] Was**
*Oh, no! It's a chiitoitsu!*
**[41:14] Was**
* If he wanted to get a*
* direct hit with this hand,*
**[41:18] Was**
*he would never go for a two-way wait.*
**[41:20] Was**
*This is a single wait.*
**[41:22] Was**
*Moreover, it's a single opaque tile wait.*
**[41:26] Was**
* The wait that's hardest to read*
* and hardest to deal with.*
**[41:35] Was**
* He's been wanting to make it a*
* chiitoitsu from the very beginning.*
**[41:39] Was**
* But if he'd done that from the start,*
* it would've been too obvious.*
**[41:44] Was**
* I would have just kept tiles that*
* safeguard me against that chiitoitsu.*
**[41:47] Was**
* So he tried to pass it off as an*
* ordinary hand until the very end.*
**[41:53] Was**
*Damn it... I won't deal into it!*
**[41:57] Was**
* Riichi, chiitoi, two dora.*
* It's a guaranteed dealer's mangan.*
**[42:02] Was**
*12,300 points.*
**[42:04] Was**
* And if there are any reverse dora,*
* that's a dealer haneman. 18,300 points.*
**[42:10] Was**
*With the direct hit bonus,*
**[42:11] Was**
* I could end up having to pay*
* up to 18.3 million yen for this!*
**[42:15] Was**
*I must avoid that at all costs!*
**[42:20] Was**
*For that, I need... the opaque tiles!*
**[42:27] Was**
* If he's got a chiitoitsu and*
* he's waiting on an opaque tile,*
**[42:31] Was**
* then if I discard opaque tiles,*
* which are all unique, I'll be safe!*
**[42:36] Was**
*I won't be dealing into his hand.*
**[43:01] Was**
*Opaque tiles. I need opaque tiles.*
**[43:05] Was**
*What? This is bad.*
**[43:09] Was**
*A glass 8 of bamboo is no good.*
**[43:46] Nar**
Washizu, by utilizing all possible
safe and defensive strategies,
**[43:50] Nar**
avoids dealing into Akagi's hand.
**[43:58] Nar**
He continues to avoid it.
**[44:03] Nar**
However,
**[44:07] Nar**
on the 14th turn,
**[44:08] Nar**
Washizu's hand has run out of safe tiles.
**[44:14] Was**
*How did this happen?*
**[44:18] Was**
*I won't deal into his hand. I won't.*
**[44:20] Was**
*That's all I've wished for all this time, and now...*
**[44:56] Was**
*It passed.*
**[44:59] Was**
*It's common sense to believe that the*
**[45:02] Was**
* 8 of bamboo, which I drew after*
* he declared riichi, is safer*
**[45:06] Was**
*than the tiles I had before.*
**[45:10] Was**
* But no, such common sense*
* does not apply to this monster!*
**[45:14] Was**
* He'll use his unique sense to sniff out*
* the tiles I draw after he declares riichi!*
**[45:26] Was**
*Damn it, still three turns left!*
**[45:30] Was**
*Please, save me,*
**[45:32] Was**
* you gods who have always granted*
* me your divine protection!*
**[45:36] Was**
*Blow, divine wind!*
**[45:39] Was**
*Please, carry me away, into safe waters!*
**[45:51] Was**
*Here it is!*
**[45:55] Was**
*The fourth 2 of bamboo!*
**[45:58] Was**
* Yes! My opponent has a*
* single wait for a chiitoitsu,*
**[46:02] Was**
* so this fourth 2 of bamboo*
* is literally my messiah.*
**[46:09] Was**
*With this, I'll be safe until the last, 17th turn.*
**[46:13] Was**
*I can get away!*
**[46:15] Was**
*It seems the gods have chosen me, after all.*
**[46:22] Aka**
Ron.
**[46:25] oug**
Akagi...
**[46:26] oug**
Akagi!
**[46:37] Aka**
No reverse dora, but...
**[46:39] Aka**
Riichi, iipeikou, south wind, two dora.
**[46:42] Aka**
Mangan.
**[46:44] Aka**
With one counter, that's 12,300,
**[46:47] Aka**
Washizu.
**[46:52] Was**
*Impossible!*
**[46:54] Was**
*You were waiting on a 2 of bamboo?!*
**[46:57] Was**
*I can't believe it!*
**[46:59] Was**
* But you had a chiitoitsu!*
* You were working on that!*
**[47:04] Was**
*That's what it should have been.*
**[47:07] Was**
* That's why you broke up*
* your triplet of north winds*
**[47:13] Was**
* and destroyed your tenpai*
* to discard the 4 of bamboo.*
**[47:17] Was**
* And then, at the end,*
* why you got the 6 of circles and*
**[47:21] Was**
*declared riichi by discarding the 9 of circles.*
**[47:23] (Flashback) Aka**
Riichi.
**[47:26] Was**
*So it was all a decoy? All of it?*
**[47:31] Was**
* You did all that to make me*
* think it was a chiitoitsu to—*
**[47:34] Aka**
Washizu.
**[47:35] Aka**
Didn't you hear?
**[47:36] Was**
*It was a trap?!*
**[47:39] Aka**
Time to pay up. A dealer
mangan with one counter.
**[47:41] Aka**
12,300.
**[47:43] Yasu**
And with the direct hit bonus,
he gets 12.3 million yen.
**[48:00] oug**
This is 11.6 million yen.
You're short 700,000 yen.
**[48:08] oug**
Just so you know, we want all of it.
**[48:11] oug**
And no, you can't have a "loan."
**[48:14] oug**
We were on the brink of destruction, too.
**[48:19] oug**
If you can't pay the 700,000 yen,
**[48:21] oug**
then this match is—
**[48:21] Was**
Who said I wouldn't pay?
**[48:25] Was**
I just have to pay, right?
**[48:40] Was**
Draw it.
**[48:41] Oku**
What?
**[48:43] Was**
My blood.
**[48:46] Was**
Extract it!
**[48:52] oug**
What?!
**[48:53] Yasu**
You idiot. Blood, my ass!
**[48:55] Yasu**
We're not madmen like you!
We don't want your blood!
**[48:58] oug**
That's right. We just want
the money, and that's all.
**[49:00] Aka**
Fine.
**[49:02] oug**
Hey, Akagi!
**[49:05] Aka**
I've been waiting for this moment.

**[00:49] Oku**
Washizu-sama, are you sure about this?
**[00:52] Was**
Hurry up and extract it.
**[00:55] Oku**
Yes, sir.
**[01:11] Oku**
Then...
**[01:24] Oku**
We'll take 70 cc now.
**[01:36] Oku**
Washizu-sama...
**[01:37] Was**
Keep your wits!
**[02:00] Was**
There's still more than a 40,000 point gap.
**[02:04] Was**
We just need to survive four more hands,
**[02:07] Was**
and victory is right in front of us.
**[02:10] Aka**
That's right.
**[02:11] Aka**
It's right in front of you.
**[02:17] Aka**
Your victory... or your death.
**[02:29] Aka**
We're going on.
**[02:30] Aka**
South Hand 1, bonus 2.
**[02:37] Aka**
Try and stop me being the dealer, Washizu.
**[02:42] Aka**
You have to stop it, or you'll die.
**[02:47] Aka**
You'll shrivel up and die, just like all
the young men you've buried up to now.

**[03:12] Nar**
The match between Akagi and Washizu
**[03:15] Nar**
that would later become legend
in the Mahjong underworld
**[03:18] Nar**
is finally reaching its climax.
**[03:21] Nar**
A mad game of Washizu Mahjong
where both bet their blood.
**[03:25] Nar**
The game now cannot end
until one of them is dead...
**[03:29] Nar**
And that climactic moment
is nearly upon them at last.
**[03:35] Was**
*Stop him.*
**[03:36] Was**
*Stop Akagi.*
**[03:39] Was**
*I've had 70 cc of blood withdrawn so far.*
**[03:44] Was**
* It's a far cry from the*
* 2,000 cc Akagi has lost.*
**[03:48] Was**
*But if Akagi, as the dealer,*
**[03:51] Was**
* scores a direct hit mangan off of me,*
* it will cost me 12,600 points.*
**[03:57] Was**
* Combined with the 70 cc already withdrawn,*
* that would be a total of 1,330 cc.*
**[04:04] Was**
*My victory would not be so certain anymore.*
**[04:11] Was**
* Whatever it takes, I have to kick*
* Akagi out of the dealer's seat.*
**[04:20] Was**
*First, my starting hand.*
**[04:24] Was**
*It's not too bad.*
**[04:27] Was**
*And what about him?*
**[04:29] Was**
*His hand is similar to mine.*
**[04:32] Was**
*We could end up waiting on the same tiles,*
**[04:35] Was**
* meaning it'll be easy for him to make*
* a hand that wins off my discards.*
**[04:39] Was**
* I've got to push ahead of him*
* and win before he has a chance.*
**[04:46] Was**
* Yes, I can kick him out!*
* I can kick him out of the dealer's seat!*

**[05:05] Was**
*Damn it! My hand isn't going anywhere.*
**[05:18] Was**
*I can't have this!*
**[05:19] Was**
*At this rate, his dealer streak will continue.*
**[05:30] Was**
*South winds... They're honor tiles.*
**[05:35] Was**
* If I can call on a south wind, I'll be in*
* tenpai waiting on a 3, 6 of characters.*
**[05:40] Was**
* Suzuki could play into my hand,*
* and I'd kick Akagi out of the dealer's seat...*
**[05:44] Was**
*If only I could call on the south wind.*
**[05:50] Was**
*He has two south winds!*
**[06:10] Was**
Hey, how much are you in for?
**[06:13] Yasu**
Huh?
**[06:15] Was**
How much is your cut?
**[06:17] Yasu**
What are you talking about?
**[06:19] Was**
I'm guessing Akagi gets half of my 600
million yen, since he's risking his life.
**[06:24] Was**
What about the other half?
**[06:27] Was**
Don't tell me you and Ougi are
**[06:29] Was**
splitting it fifty-fifty, when he's betting
his arm and you're betting nothing.
**[06:34] Was**
100 would be a fair amount for you.
**[06:39] Was**
But I would give you 200 million.
**[06:43] ---**
What?
**[06:46] Was**
If you discard one of those south winds.
**[06:52] Yasu**
Please. You can't be serious.
**[06:56] Was**
200 million yen...
**[06:58] Was**
That's more than a cop like you
could make in his entire lifetime.
**[07:02] Was**
It's nothing to be ashamed of.
**[07:04] Was**
Take the battle of Sekigahara.
**[07:06] Was**
Ieyasu won because the enemy
commanders changed sides.
**[07:10] oug**
What the hell are you getting at?!
**[07:17] Yasu**
I see...
**[07:19] oug**
Hey, Yasuoka!
**[07:30] Yasu**
I see.
**[07:33] Yasu**
I'm sure there were commanders
who were traitors.
**[07:36] Yasu**
But that doesn't mean everyone in the
Western Army betrayed their side.
**[07:42] Yasu**
I'm sure there were also plenty of commanders
**[07:45] Yasu**
who sensed that the odds were against them,
**[07:47] Yasu**
but kept their word until the very end.
**[07:51] Yasu**
Sorry, but I'm more that type.
**[07:58] oug**
Yasuoka!
**[07:59] Yasu**
You really think I'd go along
with anything he says?
**[08:04] Was**
That's fine, that's fine!
**[08:05] Was**
You didn't throw your south wind and
threw away 200 million yen instead!
**[08:11] Was**
*No more jokes.*
**[08:17] Was**
* But this tenpai with a*
* 1, 4 of characters wait...*
**[08:21] Was**
* I can't make it a pinfu with*
* the south winds as a pair,*
**[08:26] Was**
*so I have no yaku.*
**[08:30] Was**
*I guess riichi, then?*
**[08:33] Was**
* No. If I deal into his hand*
* now, I'll lose more blood.*
**[08:39] Was**
* My top priority now is to*
* avoid playing into his hand.*
**[08:48] Was**
*It's no good.*
**[08:52] Was**
*Staying defensive is no longer enough.*
**[08:55] Was**
*If this goes on, I will die.*
**[09:04] Was**
Riichi!
**[09:06] Was**
* I'll throw my life away if it means*
* kicking Akagi out of the dealer's seat!*
**[09:12] Was**
*I'm aware of the risk!*
**[09:16] Nar**
Washizu declares a tenacious riichi.
**[09:20] Nar**
However,
**[09:23] Nar**
the hand goes all the way to the 17th turn,
the last before ending in a draw.
**[10:00] Was**
Damn it!
**[10:01] Aka**
Ron.
**[10:05] Aka**
Pinfu, two dora.
**[10:06] Aka**
5,800 points, and with
the two counters, 6,400.
**[10:09] Aka**
With the riichi wager, it's 7,400.
**[10:12] Aka**
That's 740 cc of blood withdrawn.
**[10:16] Oku**
Washizu-sama...
**[10:19] Aka**
Don't worry. He won't die yet.
**[10:24] Aka**
Right?
**[10:26] oug**
Hey, what's the hold-up?
**[10:29] oug**
Extract the blood!
**[10:36] Oku**
Excuse me, sir.
**[10:39] Oku**
Now, then...
**[11:02] oug**
With this, you've had a
total of 810 cc withdrawn.
**[11:07] oug**
Another 1,200 cc, and you'll hit the
absolutely lethal amount of 2,000 cc.
**[11:12] Yas**
We've finally got Washizu in a corner.
**[11:15] Yas**
Right, Akagi?
**[11:17] Nar**
Washizu's suffered four direct hits in a row.
***SIGN*** Sixth Game
***SIGN*** South Hand 1, Bonus 3
**[11:21] Nar**
With this miracle, Akagi is finally there.
**[11:26] Nar**
Close enough to actually take Washizu's life.
**[11:32] Nar**
On one hand, Washizu desperately wants
to kick Akagi out of the dealer's seat.
**[11:38] Nar**
Their starting tiles are similar, and he
can't seem to pull ahead with his draws.
**[11:44] Nar**
They are, indeed, evenly matched.
**[11:47] Was**
*Ahead!*
**[11:48] Was**
* I need to pull ahead of him,*
* or I won't get anywhere.*
**[11:50] Was**
* That monster will get me again*
* if I let the game drag out.*
**[11:57] Was**
*I don't need any strategies.*
**[11:59] Was**
*There's only me.*
**[12:02] Was**
*I will make a suicide pact with myself!*
**[12:05] Was**
* That has always been the*
* source of my strength.*
**[12:11] Was**
*I need to believe in my own strength.*
**[12:26] Was**
*All right, just a little more now!*
**[12:29] Was**
*I have to win!*
**[12:30] Was**
* I have to win before that*
* monster can hatch his plot!*
**[12:37] Oku**
* I'm 99% sure Akagi, the one he*
* can't deal to, is in hidden tenpai.*
**[12:41] Oku**
*It's very conceivable that he's in tenpai by now,*
**[12:44] Oku**
* yet Washizu-sama hasn't looked*
* at Akagi once this hand.*
**[13:09] Aka**
You're being cold, Washizu Iwao.
**[13:19] Aka**
You should look at me now and then.
**[13:24] Aka**
Not so much as a glance, huh?
**[13:30] Aka**
No other choice, then.
**[13:38] Aka**
Riichi.
**[13:41] Was**
Riichi?
**[13:43] Was**
*If you deal into my hand, you'll die.*
**[13:45] Was**
* There are three counters, so a 3,900*
* point hand will be 4,800 points.*
**[13:49] Was**
*That would bring you to the lethal amount.*
**[13:55] Was**
*Wait, the cop is playing into his hand?*
**[14:18] Was**
*This one is safe.*
**[14:23] Was**
*Move forward! Forward!*
**[15:25] Was**
* I've caught up... I've caught up,*
* but now it gets tricky.*
**[15:33] Nar**
At this point, Washizu has
four possibilities for tenpai.
**[15:38] Nar**
Discard the 3 of bamboo and
wait on the 7 of bamboo.
**[15:44] Nar**
Discard the 9 of circles and
wait on the 7 of bamboo.
**[15:52] Nar**
Discard the 6 of bamboo and
wait on the 8 of bamboo.
**[16:01] Nar**
Discard the 8 of bamboo and
wait on the 6 of bamboo.
**[16:05] Was**
* The best option would be to discard*
* the 3 of bamboo or 9 of circles*
**[16:10] Was**
*for a closed wait on the 7 of bamboo.*
**[16:13] Was**
*Suzuki could deal into my hand right away.*
**[16:17] Was**
* With that 7 of bamboo, I'd have*
* a quick riichi ippatsu win.*
**[16:22] Was**
* I could finally kick that monster*
* out of the dealer's seat.*
**[16:25] Was**
*However...*
**[16:30] Was**
* It's possible that Akagi is waiting on*
* the 3 of bamboo or the 9 of circles.*
**[16:37] Was**
*It is possible.*
**[16:44] Was**
* If he's waiting on the 9 of circles,*
* his hand would look like this.*
**[16:50] Was**
*A 6, 7, 8, 9 of circles wait.*
**[16:58] Was**
* If he's waiting on the 3 of bamboo,*
* it would look like this.*
**[17:02] Was**
*A 2, 3 of bamboo wait.*
**[17:07] Nar**
And a look at Yasuoka's hand reveals
that if Akagi is waiting on a 9 of circles,
**[17:13] Nar**
Yasuoka can deal him the
7, 8, or 9 of circles right away.
**[17:21] Nar**
There is no visible 3 of bamboo,
**[17:22] Nar**
but it is possible that the single opaque
tile he has is a 3 of bamboo.
**[17:27] Nar**
Which means, regardless of
whether Akagi is waiting on
**[17:32] Nar**
a 9 of circles
**[17:34] Nar**
or a 3 of bamboo,
**[17:37] Nar**
either tile could easily be obtained from
Yasuoka's hand, putting him in tenpai.
**[17:46] Was**
*No, whether it's a 3 of bamboo or a 9 of circles,*
**[17:50] Was**
*one or the other should pass.*
**[17:53] Was**
*If I can make one of them pass, I can end this.*
**[17:59] Was**
*Akagi's dealer streak will be over.*
**[18:03] Was**
*But wait... His hand could also look like this...*
**[18:10] Was**
*A suu ankou tenpai.*
***SIGN*** Suu ankou - Four concealed triplets, a double yakuman when waiting for a single tile.

**[18:24] (Flashback) Aka**
A dealer yakuman with three counters.
**[18:25] (Flashback) Aka**
16,000 becomes 16,300 from everyone.
**[18:29] Was**
*That would be 1,630 cc of blood!*
**[18:35] Was**
*And he could actually draw it, too.*
**[18:39] Was**
*I must keep moving.*
**[18:40] Was**
*Standing still is death, running is death.*
**[18:42] Was**
* So I must make either the 3 of*
* bamboo or the 9 of circles pass!*
**[18:50] Was**
*The 9 of circles is the dangerous one.*
**[18:54] Was**
*The 3 of bamboo will pass.*
**[18:59] Was**
*No, wait!*
**[19:01] Was**
*If, by chance, I play into his hand with this...*
**[19:05] (Flashback) Aka**
Ron.
**[19:09] (Flashback) Aka**
Riichi, tanyao, iipeikou.
**[19:10] (Flashback) Aka**
7,700, and three counters make it 8,600.
**[19:15] Was**
*That's 860 cc!*
**[19:19] Was**
* Combined with the 810 cc already*
* withdrawn, that's a total of 1,670 cc!*
**[19:25] Was**
* That would probably be a*
* lethal amount for me...*
**[19:31] Was**
* But if I deal into his hand*
* with the 9 of circles...*
**[19:38] (Flashback) Aka**
Ron.
**[19:41] (Flashback) Aka**
Riichi only, 2,000.
**[19:42] (Flashback) Aka**
With the three counters, that's 2,900.
**[19:47] Was**
*So, 290 cc.*
**[19:51] Was**
*I could survive that amount.*
**[19:54] Was**
*With the 9 of circles!*
**[19:58] Was**
*Wait.*
**[19:59] Was**
*What if there are reverse dora?*
**[20:02] Was**
* But if I start considering the reverse dora,*
* death seems certain for either tile.*
**[20:10] Was**
*Then the 3 of bamboo with the harder wait...*
**[20:17] Was**
*No... But 8,600 points...*
**[20:29] Was**
Riichi!
**[20:38] Aka**
That's right.
**[20:40] Aka**
Washizu,
**[20:44] Aka**
you thought right.
**[20:47] Aka**
What I'm after is the 3 of bamboo or 9 of
circles you'll deal when you get into tenpai.
**[20:52] Aka**
You were right up to that point.
**[20:55] Aka**
This wasn't my choice, but I
imagined it would come to this.
**[21:02] Aka**
A terrified heart's last stop on the rails...
**[21:04] Aka**
The decisions made, the resolve found,
**[21:06] Aka**
when the last of one's thought patterns
comprehends one's destruction.
**[21:10] Aka**
In other words...
**[21:16] Aka**
Where the damage is less,
even if you deal into my hand.
**[21:23] Aka**
Ron.
**[21:26] Aka**
Riichi only. 2,900.
**[21:29] Aka**
But we won't know until we see the reverse dora.
**[21:33] Aka**
If the reverse dora is a 3 of characters,
a 6 of circles, or a 4 of bamboo,
**[21:38] Aka**
it'll give me a dealer mangan of 12,900.
**[21:41] Aka**
Meaning you would die.
**[22:23] Was**
*I survived!*
**[22:26] oug**
Hey, what's up?
**[22:28] oug**
You have 290 cc of blood to extract!
**[22:46] Oku**
This is rough.

If Akagi gets a dealer baiman
tsumo win in the next hand...
**[22:52] Guy**
No, if it's a direct hit,
it wouldn't even need to be a baiman.
**[22:56] Guy**
A mangan and Washizu-sama will...
**[22:58] Was**
I will not die!
**[23:01] Oku**
Yes, sir.
**[23:02] Guy**
Of course not, sir.

As long as I do not desire it, I will not die!

**[31:10] Was**
Huh? You had some 4 of circles?
**[31:15] Yasu**
Guess I did.
**[31:25] Was**
Your cheap pon tactic took my ippatsu,
**[31:29] Was**
but you can't stop Suzuki
from dealing into my hand.
**[31:32] Was**
What's most important now
**[31:34] Was**
is to move this game along quickly.
**[31:36] Aka**
I see.
**[31:37] Aka**
You're right.
**[31:40] Aka**
But if you really believe that,
you should dedicate yourself to it.
**[31:44] Aka**
To only that.
**[31:45] Was**
What?
**[31:48] Aka**
You already had a tanyao in your
hand, so that riichi was useless.
**[32:02] Aka**
Pon.
**[32:05] Was**
Three dora?!
**[32:11] Aka**
Pon.
**[32:14] Was**
What?!
**[32:19] Aka**
That riichi was rather careless.
**[32:24] Was**
Damn it!
**[32:28] Was**
* Already he's in tenpai,*
* with a toitoi, three dora.*
**[32:32] Was**
*If he wins, that's a guaranteed mangan.*
**[32:35] Was**
*And if I deal it, that's 8,000 points.*
**[32:38] Was**
*800 cc of blood, for a total of 1,900 cc!*
**[32:45] Was**
*The lethal amount!*
**[32:48] Was**
*Why did I declare riichi?!*
**[32:53] Was**
* If I'd just let myself win with a*
* tanyao, I wouldn't be in this spot!*
**[32:59] Was**
*He can't have anything but a toitoi hand.*
**[33:04] Was**
* He's waiting on a 7 of*
* characters or a 7 of circles,*
**[33:10] Was**
*or a 7 of bamboo.*
**[33:13] Was**
*That's a given!*
**[33:16] Was**
*But I'm in riichi, so I have no choice!*
**[33:22] Was**
* If I draw it, I have no*
* choice but to discard it.*
**[33:26] Was**
* I thought I had made up my mind to win*
* fast and cheap to move the game along!*
**[33:32] Was**
* How many times must I*
* commit the same mistake?*
**[33:37] Yasu**
What's wrong, Washizu?
**[33:39] Yasu**
It's your turn.
**[33:40] Yasu**
Draw already.
**[33:43] Was**
*If I draw a 7 of characters, 7 of circles,*
**[33:48] Was**
* or 7 of bamboo now, I'll be under a*
* toitoi three-dora mangan attack!*
**[33:56] Was**
*That is... death.*
**[34:03] Was**
*I get it! I get it already!*
**[34:06] Was**
* If I can just make it past this point,*
* I won't stir the waters anymore!*
**[34:14] Was**
* I won't let my concentration*
* flag for even a second!*
**[34:21] Was**
*So please, don't draw them.*
**[34:22] Was**
* Don't draw a 7 of characters,*
* 7 of circles, or 7 of bamboo.*
**[35:10] Was**
It's a characters tile...
**[35:13] Was**
*Don't tell me it's a 7...*
**[35:23] Was**
*If it's a 7 of characters, I'm dead!*
**[35:47] Oku**
Washizu-sama!
**[35:48] Guy**
Washizu-sama, it can't possibly be...
**[35:55] Was**
*The 8 of characters is fine.*
**[36:01] Was**
I'm safe!
**[36:02] ---**
Yes!
**[36:05] ---**
Thank goodness!
**[36:07] Was**
The 8 of characters...
**[36:13] Was**
The 8 of characters?
**[36:21] Was**
The 8 of characters?
**[36:34] Was**
Tsumo!
**[36:36] Was**
Tsumo, tsumo, tsumo!
**[36:47] oug**
Akagi wasn't even ready to win!
**[36:50] oug**
It was just a bluff.
**[36:54] Was**
Idiot.
**[36:56] Was**
All that dancing around did
nothing but dig Akagi's grave.
**[37:06] oug**
* With this riichi, tsumo,*
* tanyao, he gets 3,900 points.*
**[37:11] oug**
* Akagi's part is 1,000 points, which is*
* 100 cc, which is probably still okay.*
**[37:18] oug**
*But if those 4 of characters become dora,*
**[37:22] oug**
* and he gets a riichi, tsumo,*
* tanyao, three dora for a haneman,*
**[37:25] oug**
*Akagi's part would then be 3,000 points,*
**[37:27] oug**
* or 300 cc, putting him at*
* a total loss of 2,300 cc!*
**[37:32] oug**
* Even if he got that extra 500*
* transfused before the game,*
**[37:34] oug**
*that's 1,800 cc of lost blood.*
**[37:37] oug**
*This is bad.*
**[37:39] oug**
*It's a lethal amount.*
**[37:42] Was**
Now, let's see what kind of
snake crawls out of this grove.
**[37:47] Was**
Depending on the reverse dora,
this game could end right here.
**[37:55] Was**
*If I get three dora, that's a haneman.*
**[38:00] Was**
* And if he gets 300 cc of blood*
* drawn, Akagi will die.*
**[38:31] Was**
It's been a long fight, Akagi.
**[38:38] Was**
It's over.
**[38:39] oug**
Huh?
**[38:41] Yasu**
It can't be...
**[38:54] Oku**
The reverse dora is the 4 of characters.
**[38:56] Oku**
That means three dora... for a haneman!
**[39:02] Oku**
You did it! You did it!
**[39:04] Oku**
You did it! You did it!
**[39:06] Oku**
Washizu-sama!
**[39:10] Was**
I can smell it, Akagi.
**[39:13] Was**
You smell of death.
**[39:17] Was**
*I've been smelling it all this time.*
**[39:20] Was**
* That sweet smell omitted from*
* weak things on their way to death.*
**[39:28] Was**
*Now I can smell it coming from you.*
**[39:38] Was**
More important than those points
are your 300 cc of blood.
**[39:44] Was**
Hey, Okamoto.
**[39:46] Oku**
Yes, sir.
**[39:47] Was**
What happens once you withdraw
1,800 cc from someone?
**[39:51] Oku**
They stop moving.
**[39:53] Was**
Speak more clearly.
**[39:54] Oku**
They die.
**[39:56] Was**
That's right.
**[39:57] Was**
And? What are your thoughts?
**[40:03] Aka**
Sorry, Washizu.
**[40:13] Aka**
I have no interest in whether I live or die.
**[40:19] Aka**
It's just death.
**[40:20] Was**
Maybe so, but I am deeply interested.
**[40:25] Was**
Hey, extract the blood!
**[40:26] Oku**
Yes, sir.
**[40:29] oug**
Akagi... You've got to hang on somehow!
**[40:33] Aka**
Yeah, who knows what will happen now?
**[40:38] oug**
Akagi...
**[40:40] Aka**
But if I were to come back,
that would be kind of amusing.
**[40:46] Aka**
Washizu.
**[40:50] Aka**
You'll be shaking next.
**[40:53] Aka**
I promise you that.
**[40:57] Aka**
That is, if I come back.
**[41:02] Aka**
You'd better pray that I die.
**[41:05] Was**
Shut him up, right now!
**[41:08] Was**
Draw that blood!
**[41:09] Oku**
Yes, sir.
**[41:11] Oku**
300 cc needs to be drawn in two parts.
**[41:14] Oku**
I'll draw 100 cc first.
**[41:20] Yasu**
Akagi, don't die. Please!
**[41:36] oug**
Now you're at 1,600 cc lost.
**[41:39] oug**
Are you still all right?
**[41:53] Oku**
And now, the remaining 200 cc.
**[41:55] Oku**
We'll begin the last withdrawal.
**[42:00] Was**
Kill him!
**[42:02] Was**
This time, he has to die!
**[43:19] Was**
I've won!
**[43:20] Was**
I, Washizu Iwao, have won!
**[43:24] All**
Washizu-sama!
**[43:29] oug**
Akagi!
**[43:35] oug**
Akagi!
**[44:19] oug**
You put up a good fight, Akagi.
**[44:26] oug**
You really did.
**[44:52] oug**
It's thanks to you that I still have this.
**[45:14] Aka**
* If your time comes,*
* all you have to do is die.*
**[45:18] Aka**
*Just die.*
**[45:27] Aka**
*But is this the time?*
**[45:35] (Flashback) aka**
Ron.
**[45:36] aka**
*Something was different.*
**[45:39] (Flashback) Was**
Ron!
**[45:41] Aka**
* Something was different*
* while I was fighting him.*
**[45:48] Aka**
*What was it?*
**[45:54] (Flashback) Was**
Extract the blood!
**[45:58] Aka**
*Something I've never felt...*
**[46:09] Aka**
*Something I've never experienced before.*
**[46:24] Was**
Is he dead?
**[46:36] Aka**
*I see.*
**[46:41] oug**
Akagi!
**[46:43] Yasu**
Akagi!
**[46:46] Aka**
You really thought I'd die?
**[46:49] Was**
You bastard!
**[46:51] Aka**
Our battle is only just beginning.
**[46:56] Aka**
We've got two more hands to go.
**[46:59] Aka**
Isn't that right, Washizu?
**[47:01] Was**
He's come back from the dead again?!
**[47:05] Aka**
No. I wasn't alive before.
**[47:09] Was**
What?
**[47:11] Aka**
I never truly felt like I was ever alive.
**[47:18] Aka**
But these last two hands...
**[47:22] Aka**
I want to see how this will end,
more than anything.
**[47:27] Aka**
To do that, I have to be alive.
**[47:38] Aka**
I've never felt like this before.
**[47:44] Aka**
This is what it means to be alive, isn't it?
**[47:53] Aka**
I have to thank you, Washizu.
**[47:56] Aka**
This is the first time
I've ever felt this way.
**[47:59] Aka**
You helped me feel it, for the first time.
**[48:04] Was**
It's nothing to thank me for.
**[48:08] oug**
I had faith in you, Akagi.
**[48:12] oug**
I knew you wouldn't die.
**[48:14] Yasu**
How many times do you
have to scare us like that?
**[48:21] Aka**
I am filled...
**[48:23] Aka**
For once, I'm actually filled with motivation.
**[48:31] Aka**
Let's go.
**[48:34] Aka**
We're going Washizu hunting.
**[48:37] Was**
Good!
**[48:39] Was**
As you wish, we will finally
settle this once and for all.
**[48:45] Aka**
Will you die, or will I die?
**[48:50] Aka**
It's the final battle.
**[49:25] oug**
What? Me?
**[49:31] oug**
I can't go to the other side yet.
**[49:34] oug**
I have to scrape by in life for a
bit longer. You know, scrape by.
**[49:47] oug**
Here's the proof that you
were alive back then.
