Akagi (Drama)
Tokyo, 1958. A man seriously gambles at a mahjong parlor. He's playing against members of the Ryuzaki yakuza clan. If he loses, he must pay his debt through his own life insurance – truly a game of life and death. With his own existence at stake, he can only play passively, and the game comes to a head. Suddenly, a mysterious boy appears. His name is Akagi, a thirteen-year-old kid. The man senses a strong aura around the youth and decides to have Akagi substitute for him in the next round

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.

[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

I don't mind.

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.

It's a foolish condition that kills
his chance of winning.

SIGN East Hand 1
[31:56] aka
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.
[32:54] oug
What is the most effective
playing style in a game
[32:57] oug
where everyone can see your tiles?
[33:00] oug
I can't even begin to imagine it.
[33:05] oug
We can't allow Washizu to finish the
East-South match in a higher rank,
[33:09] oug
and we have to be mindful of direct hits
[33:11] oug
or him winning with tsumo, too.
[33:14] oug
Which means we must play
defensively all the way through.
[33:17] oug
Otherwise we'll be snuffed
out in a heartbeat,
[33:21] oug
and your life will be...
[33:27] was
I really am excited to see how he plays.
[33:32] was
He sure talked big. He better play big, too.
[33:42] was
Then again, an ordinary player would
barely survive these conditions
[33:48] was
with 200,000 points, let alone 20,000.
[33:52] was
You're the reckless one here.
[33:58] was
Being an ordinary genius will not
suffice to win this battle.
[34:04] was
You need perception that overwhelms all others;
[34:07] was
a divine gift.
[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.
[37:32] oug
Tighten your defenses and
slip through the cracks to win.
[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.

SIGN Mentanpin - Combines menzen (closed hand), tanyao (hand comprised of only 2-8), and pinfu (only sequences and a 2 or more sided wait)

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.

No, what he's saying is fundamentally true.

Akagi receives 2,000 points from Yasuoka,

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
It's like a quick and nimble hand made
to kick Washizu out of the dealer's spot.
[39:48] oug
It couldn't have been better.
Tenpai! Let him call it!
[40:05] aka
Pon.
[40:08] oug
That's right. In this game,
Yasuoka's points have no meaning.
[40:13] oug
This is a true duel between
Akagi and Washizu alone.
[40:17] oug
That means he can support Akagi.
Come on, deal it!

[40:30] oug
Yes, consecutive wins. Good work, Akagi.

You're not worth my time.

Even if you wanted me
out of the dealer's spot,
[40:41] was
you took a mere 2,000 from that ideal hand?

[41:12] was
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.

there are any number of possible waits.
[41:37] oug
Actually, it could be a chiitoitsu, too.

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.

It has its dangers, but you have
to play along with this duel.

SIGN East Hand 4
[43:40] oug
He's one tile from tenpai...
[43:43] oug
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.
[50:01] (Flashback) yas

[50:03] (Flashback) oug
But is he really that great?
[50:06] (Flashback) yas

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,

[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.
SIGN First Game
SIGN South Hand 3
[16:46] Was
Honestly...
[16:48] Was
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
away his own advantage.
[17:06] Was
An ordinary daredevil isn't
capable of doing that.
[17:10] Was
They might be able to ignore
disadvantages and rush in blindly,
[17:15] Was
but they can't throw away tangible
advantages once they have them.
[17:20] Was
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.
[22:12] Was
Right, right, right!
[22:15] Was
Let's draw some blood, let's draw some blood!
[22:22] oug
Akagi...
SIGN First Game
SIGN South Hand 4
[23:05] oug
One more hand.
[23:08] oug
If Akagi doesn't win now, he'll lose.
[23:12] oug
If he loses, there'll be a difference of over
50,000 points including the rank bonus.
[23:16] oug
That corresponds to 5,000 CCs of blood.
[23:21] oug
Instant death.
[23:29] oug
His life is literally riding on this last hand.
[23:34] oug
It's not the worst hand ever, but still...
[23:38] oug
He's got a pair of bonus tiles.
[23:43] oug
Yasuoka has the east wind and the red dragon.
[23:46] oug
He could call them any time he wants.
[23:49] oug
But...
[23:52] (Flashback) Aka
Pon.
[23:53] (Flashback) Aka
Pon.
[23:55] (Flashback) Aka
Tsumo.
[23:58] oug
He'd only get as far as 2,900 or 3,900 points.
[24:02] oug
Even with a tsumo, it's not
enough to take the lead.
[24:06] oug
So he'll need...
[24:07] (Flashback) Aka
Chi.
[24:10] (Flashback) Aka
Tsumo.
[24:13] oug
A honitsu or...
SIGN Honitsu - Half flush including one suit and honors.
[24:14] (Flashback) Aka
Pon.
[24:17] (Flashback) Aka
Tsumo.
[24:20] oug
...a toitoi hand.
SIGN Toitoi - A hand consisting of all triplets or quads, and a pair.
[24:23] oug
Or to draw a 4 of bamboo dora
and use that somehow.
[24:27] oug
Whichever route he takes,
if Washizu wins, it's over.
[24:34] oug
His hand looks good from here.
[24:36] oug
He's probably two or three tiles from tenpai.
[24:40] oug
How can this be?
[24:42] oug
He turned that green dragon
into a triplet already!
[24:47] oug
And his underling has 3 of
characters and 5 of circles,
[24:50] oug
which might be his winning tiles later.
[24:52] oug
We don't have much time now.
[24:55] oug
One extra turn could be fatal.
[24:58] oug
He could put pressure on Washizu by calling
[25:00] oug
tiles off Yasuoka and advancing his hand.
[25:02] oug
Using the opaque tiles, he could
disguise his tenpai, too.
[25:06] oug
Akagi, call it!
[25:11] yas
You're going to wait?
[25:25] oug
He got another good tile.
[25:26] oug
One away from tenpai?
[25:28] oug
We can't wait any longer!
[25:46] oug
Akagi, you could call three times now.
[25:50] Yasu
The opportunity has arrived.
[25:52] Yasu
Ready, Akagi? Here I go!
[25:57] Yasu
You want me to wait longer?
[25:59] oug
What the hell are you thinking?
[26:38] oug
That precious dora is going to be isolated!
[26:45] oug
That's your discard?
When every second counts?!
[27:18] oug
Is he going for a chiitoitsu?
[27:22] oug
That's right.
[27:23] oug
A dealer's chiitoitsu with
two dora is worth 9,600 points.
[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
perspective, Akagi's hand
[27:37] oug
could actually look like a chiitoitsu tenpai.
[27:42] oug
If they fall for it, this could
force Washizu to slow down.
[27:50] Was
Foolish.
[27:51] Was
Too foolish.
[27:53] Was
I guess you're trying to pretend
you're in tenpai with a chiitoitsu hand,
[27:57] Was
but that's absolutely impossible.
[28:02] Was
I know, because each suit
only has one opaque tile.
[28:07] Was
You simply cannot make pairs with those tiles.
[28:10] Was
In order for that to be
a chiitoitsu tenpai hand,
[28:13] Was
two of those three opaque tiles need to be
the 4 of bamboo and the 7 of characters.
[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

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
wait on the 9 of characters,
[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
Akagi will lose his life and I'll lose an arm.
[24:25] oug
We'll lose all the money, too.
[24:27] oug
Total annihilation!
[24:30] oug
If the west wind comes out now...
[24:58] 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
If Washizu couldn't call on it now,
it means his hand isn't ready for it.
[25:10] oug
Now is the time to get rid of it!
[25:16] oug
No!
[25:18] oug
Why didn't you discard
the west wind, the dora?!
[25:20] oug
It's the shackle that's been
binding you this whole time!
[25:24] oug
If you wait another turn,
[25:26] oug
then it's entirely feasible that
Washizu will change his wait!
[25:30] oug
For instance, if he didn't
have a honitsu already,
[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...

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?

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.

If he hadn't, he could not have survived.

Tsumo.
[02:31] oug
Yes!
[02:33] Akagi
Tsumo, ittsuu, three dora. Haneman.

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,

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.

Should he die before then,
[07:03] Nar
he will lose all that he had amassed
up to that point, and Washizu wins.

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.

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.
[16:55] Was
Keep it going, keep it going!
[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.
[33:10] Aka
Pon.
[33:11] Was
Damn it.
[33:12] Was
They're trying to keep me
from getting another turn.
[33:16] ---
Pon.
[33:16] Was
They're trying to end this hand on their
own, without giving me another turn?
[33:21] was
They want to suppress my twelve dora?
[33:23] Yasu
Chi.
[33:26] was
Damn it!
[33:27] was
Alone, their hands are far from winning,
[33:29] ---
Pon.
[33:29] was
but their hands together are
a frightening thing indeed.
[33:34] was
I should have seen that coming!
[33:38] was
Three calls in mere moments!
[33:42] was
So this means he's in tenpai for a tanyao,
waiting on a 3 and 6 of circles.
[33:51] was
It's going to end.
[33:53] was
It's over once the cop plays
the 6 of circles into his hand.
[33:58] was
My twelve dora, my miraculous
counted yakuman, will disappear!
SIGN Counted yakuman - Once you have 13 han or more, your hand is considered a yakuman.
[34:10] was
Oh, I see.
[34:12] was
If he's going for a 3, 6 of circles wait,
[34:17] was
he'll have to get rid of the 1 of circles.
[34:21] was
Meaning it'll come out one step before
the cop can deal into Akagi's hand.
[34:26] was
My 1 of circles!
[34:29] was
You got impatient, boy.
[34:32] was
The threat of this twelve-dora
hand has misled him.
[34:37] was
For the first time, his heart
wavered toward safety
[34:42] was
because of my yakuman.
[34:48] was
That's right, discard it.
[34:52] was
Discard my 1 of circles!
[35:00] was
What's wrong? You won't discard it?
[35:02] was
After all those calls, you're not
going to fold now, are you?
[35:07] was
Don't tell me that in this last, crucial moment,
[35:09] was
you can feel the threat of that 1 of circles
and it's stopped you in your tracks?
[35:23] was
That's right!
[35:24] was
Discard it and be relieved.
Deal into my twelve-dora hand.
[35:30] was
That's it, come!
[35:33] was
Jump into my arms!
[35:37] was
Play it, play it, Akagi!
[36:05] Was
Ron.
[36:06] Was
Ron, ron, ron.
[36:09] Was
Ron!
[36:11] Was
I won, I won, I won!
[36:14] Was
Akagi, at last, you're...
[36:17] Aka
Old man.
[36:19] Was
What?
[36:19] Aka
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!
[42:55] Was
Akagi Shigeru-kun.

Shall we continue?
SIGN Third Game

[43:29] Was
He discarded the 3 of circles
after calling the honor tile.
[43:33] Was
Does that mean he's in tenpai?
[43:42] Was
There it is.
[43:45] Was
If I discard the 5 of bamboo or the
3 of characters, I'll be in tenpai.
[43:49] Was
But I get the feeling he's
waiting on one of them.
[43:55] Was
Hmm... I've got no choice.
[43:58] Was
I can't force it here.
[44:01] Was
I'll go for a chiitoitsu.
[44:04] Was
Then I won't have to discard either the
3 of characters or the 5 of bamboo.
[44:13] Aka
Ron.
[44:16] Was
That's your hand?!
[44:19] Was
You were waiting on a single west wind?

And yet this brat... Unbelievable!
[45:07] Was
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.

But this 4 of circles is most likely
the enemy's winning tile.

You're actually quite the
coward, Washizu Iwao.

That's insane.

Specifically, keeping control of your own fear.

That is to say, he has never participated
in the truest sense of the term.

While his other opponents fought for their lives,

Washizu-sama alone always stood protected.

At the start of the game,
Washizu's 500 million seemed endless,

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.

You'll have to win against me

But you're pretty stingy.

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...
[20:58] Yasu
Ron.
[20:59] Yasu
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 Kan Tiles
SIGN Dora Indicators Tiles

coming to a total of 124 tiles.
SIGN Total Number Tiles

Altogether, there are 136 tiles in Mahjong...

So if you subtract the 124, that leaves 12 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.

No one can stop me,

[41:21] oug
Which one is it?
[41:23] oug
Did you draw it, or...

Washizu, your hand is dead, isn't it?
[41:32] Was
What was that?

Reviving a dead hand and letting it
lurch around is just a nuisance.

Akagi will fall to last place.

Well... If you think about it rationally,

perhaps you should just leave it be?

800 points.

characters than of drawing it.

Yasuoka-san, don't be misled

Oh, of course!

You just had to call.

That bumps Washizu off the last draw.

That means his tenpai has
no yaku. He can't win.

Of course, with a chi,
Akagi doesn't have to pay, either.
[45:10] yas
All right, we survived.

No.

Washizu no opportunity at all.

He can't get his haitei win anymore.

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

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.

Not here, no.

"'Not here"?!

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.

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,

I got back the blood I'd had drawn,

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.

You might call it a hidden stash.

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...

His life is smoking.

[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.

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.

But if you make the 4 of circles pass now,

you'll be in tenpai, with a
1, 4, 7 of characters wait.

Suzuki has the 1 and 7 of characters.

A closed 4 of circles wait?

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.

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.

One of Akagi's safe tiles.
[23:23] Oku
He couldn't discard it, and now he

[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.
SIGN Fifth Game
SIGN South Hand 3
[25:47] Oku
It's not bad.
[25:50] Oku
No melds yet, but it's still solid.
[25:53] Oku
And he's got two dora!
[25:58] Oku
If he gets into tenpai, he'll have a
mangan tenpai that's easy to play into.
[26:04] Oku
Even though he had two bad hands,
Washizu-sama still hasn't
[26:09] Oku
lost his momentum!
[26:23] Oku
This can still work.
[26:25] Oku
The problem is avoiding a losing streak.
[26:28] Oku
Even for Washizu-sama, with his brute luck,
three losses in a row would be fatal.
[26:34] Oku
We needn't be hasty.
[26:36] Oku
We're the ones in the lead.
[26:48] Oku
Damn it!
[26:49] Oku
Another one went into his hand.
[26:59] Oku
All right.
[27:00] Oku
He's cleaning up the 8 and 9 of
characters, the edge tiles.
[27:03] Oku
Which means his hand's still got a way to go.
[27:09] Was
Two more hands left.
[27:11] Was
And while he's wasting his time cleaning
up his edges, I'm going to get into tenpai.
[27:37] Was
Good! One tile away from tenpai.
[27:42] Was
The problem is him,
[27:45] Was
and how his monster hand progresses.
[27:50] Was
Of course he would have something
together by the ninth turn...
[27:57] Was
But he's not in tenpai yet.
[28:17] oug
Akagi...
[28:18] Aka
Sorry.
[28:26] Was
The cat's out of the bag.
[28:34] Was
The sensation in his fingers is clearly faltering.
[28:39] Was
He's weakening now.
[28:41] Was
The monster is starting to weaken.
[28:46] Was
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
It goes without saying that
this is an ideal configuration.
[29:18] Was
But if he thinks, "No, that's not true,"
and discards the tile,
[29:23] Was
I'll have a mangan.
[29:26] Was
That'll be 800 cc of blood, and
this time, he really will die.
[29:29] Was
There's no way he'll deal a tile that
guarantees the fatal amount of blood loss.
[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,
now that he can't move.
[30:55] Was
If I win this sanshoku with
two dora, that's 8,000 points.
[31:01] Was
My lead will widen to 11,100 points again,
[31:06] Was
and then only the last hand remains.
[31:08] Was
My chance of winning will increase.
[31:14] Was
I need to make it through
this decisive moment.
[31:24] Was
Damn it!
[31:25] Was
That last tile won't come to me.
[31:28] Was
The 5 of circles, or the 6, 7, 8 of circles.
[31:33] Was
The 2 or 4 of characters, or a west wind.
[31:36] Was
Any of them would be fine!
[31:38] Was
Come on!
[31:39] Was
I won't restrict my hand to a sanshoku anymore!
[31:54] Was
No matter how many he adds to his hand,
[31:56] Was
as long as he keeps hanging on to that
vital dora tile, it's all the same.
[32:00] Was
I don't have to be afraid.
[32:02] Was
He cannot get into tenpai.
[32:10] Was
What?
[32:12] Was
Don't tell me...
[32:14] Was
You know you can't play that west wind.
[32:18] Was
The moment you do, you will die.
[32:25] Was
Why?
[32:27] Was
Why can he discard that west wind?
[32:35] Was
I see... A play into his hand?
[32:40] Was
If this west wind passes, the cop
will have a tile for Akagi's hand.
[32:46] Was
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.
[40:59] Oku
Washizu-sama.
[41:03] Was
If you're going to win, then win.
[41:17] Aka
How like you.
[41:19] Aka
Moving forward fearlessly.
[41:25] Aka
But...
[41:27] Aka
That's it.
[41:31] Aka
Mentanpin, ippatsu.
[41:32] Aka
Sanshoku, iipeikou.
[41:37] Aka
One reverse dora. It's a baiman.
[41:40] Aka
16,000.
[41:45] Was
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.
[43:24] Was
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?
[43:51] Was
I was tricked by your cunning act.
[43:56] Was
I truly have become a fool.

His hand has finally deteriorated.

There's no strength

That last direct hit baiman affected him.

You can say what you want, but
until then, he had his hand together.
[45:17] Oku
But that isn't working anymore, either.

I'm not saying I think he'll take

I don't think that, but there's still
the risk of losing more blood!

That's right!

Plus, Ougi's arm is on the line!
[47:22] oug
And what if, by chance,
Washizu gets a mangan tsumo?

As dealer, you'd pay 4,000 points.

That's 400 cc.

Have you lost your mind?

What's the point in continuing this?

How many hands would you

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 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.

[13:44] 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.

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.

a mangan or higher hand, it's over.

Noticed what?

What I'm saying is...
your money will run out.

That's impossible!

You can't go on to the sixth game.

What are you talking about?

[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.

There'd be a 204,400-point gap.

Put into cash, that's 204 million yen.
[21:11] oku
Right now, with the 100 million
yen addition you made,

you have 233.5 million yen.
SIGN 233.5 Million Yen

the payee, meaning 27 million yen.
SIGN 16 Million Yen
-27 Million Yen

[22:22] oku
That 27 million yen is more

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?

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.

That's more than what I have left.

Akagi is something else, but Washizu

He sniffed out his path to survival

at the very last moment.
[38:47] Oug
No, even more impressive was that
pon-chi volley they did to stop Akagi.

Wow! Wow! Damn, damn, damn!

I know it's too early to celebrate,
but I can't contain myself!

Akagi, you're a genius!

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,

Hey, what are you talking about, Akagi?

Everything is an illusion. Our positions

I guess we might have gotten
ahead of ourselves a bit.

If Washizu gets a mangan

[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.

All we have to do is die.

If I get a tsumo win or a direct hit,
I'll only accept blood.

That's fine, right?
[44:48] aka
Don't worry. That's still my intention.

If you take that last 500 cc from me, you win.

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.

The cop can just call a wrong
ron, or draw out of order.

If that form of cheating happens,
[46:31] was
all of the winnings from game
1 through 5 are null and void.

What?!

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,

That condition is just what I want.

you, Akagi Shigeru-kun!

Sure, given how you've fared so far,
I don't think you will end up behind Washizu.

Let's do it.

It means he's confident.
He's just better to begin with.

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
[49:24] aka
is proof that his psyche has recovered.
[49:28] aka
Right now, he's in a position
to make something happen.
[49:35] aka
The turmoil of the sixth game
is guaranteed to be bitter...
[49:41] aka
But... that's why it's fun.
[49:47] aka
I'll jump right into that blazing inferno!

Washizu Mahjong.

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,

Too bad for him. His hand looks like a mess.

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...

That brought him back to life.
[05:41] Aka
And if that's true, then the
luck isn't with me right now.

In which case, being the last dealer would've
been the ideal position for an upset.

And yet, I end up dealer now.

It's just my luck right now to end up

but something's lurking there...

Meanwhile, Washizu...

[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.
SIGN Game 6
SIGN East Hand 3, Bonus 1
[24:26] was
I see. He's got an exemplary devilish nature.
[24:32] was
But...
[24:34] was
That doesn't mean he's got devilishly good luck.
[24:39] was
What he has is a genius-level mental ability
[24:43] was
to make his skills and his brain power shine.
[24:49] was
But that kind of ability is inconsequential.
[24:57] was
The truly strong win with energy.
[25:04] was
Real, living energy.
[25:08] was
I'll simply blow him away!
[25:13] oka
He got it, finally!
[25:44] oka
This is impossible.
[25:46] oka
From the get-go, it's a honrou honitsu toitoi,
double east wind, white dragon hand!
SIGN Honrou - A hand of all terminal and honor tiles.
[25:50] oka
At the very least, it's a dealer baiman.
[25:53] oka
24,000 points are guaranteed.
[26:10] was
Behold, you demon brat.
[26:12] was
This is the strength of one who is chosen:
[26:17] was
the energy!
[26:19] was
Die. I'll kill you.
[26:22] was
This time I will kill you for sure!
[26:41] oug
This is insane.
[26:43] oug
Why discard the 1 of circles when it's
vital to his honrou honitsu toitoi?!
[26:46] oug
You're basically helping him!
[26:51] was
You want me to call on that, don't you?
[26:57] was
Is your aim to make my hand
stop at honrou honitsu toitoi,
[27:01] was
instead of getting all the
way to a yakuman hand?
[27:07] yas
You're not calling it?
[27:09] was
You're no more than small fry
who can't see the big picture.
[27:13] was
I can tell
[27:15] was
that this brat is desperate.
[27:33] was
The moment I bring the monster down is near.
[27:40] aka
Pon.
[27:55] was
A characters honitsu?
[27:58] was
You're wasting your time.
[28:00] was
Nobody can defeat me right now.
[28:06] oka
He's not calling it?
[28:10] oka
I think calling it and winning
would be the right choice.
[28:15] oka
If he drags his feet and
[28:17] oka
lets Akagi get ahead of him,
I don't even want to think of it...
[28:20] oka
It's true that Akagi has one each
of the east wind and the red dragon.
[28:24] oka
Those are the tiles Washizu-sama needs.
[28:28] oka
If he discards either of those...
[28:32] (Flashback) was
Pon.
SIGN Tsuuiisou - A hand composed exclusively of wind and dragon tiles.
[28:33] oka
Then Washizu-sama would be
right on the way to victory.
[28:36] oka
A guaranteed tsuuiisou.
[28:38] oka
Which means that Akagi has no way of winning.
[28:39] (Flashback) was
Pon.
[28:42] oka
No matter how you slice it,
Washizu-sama will win first.
[28:44] (Flashback) was
Ron.
[28:47] oka
However...
[28:51] oka
I can't tell... With this kid, I really can't...
[28:56] oka
Such common sense doesn't apply to him.
[28:58] oka
Before you know it, he's twisted the
situation in some unthinkable way,
[29:02] oka
and we're the ones who suffer.
[29:06] oka
Also, that cop's hand is coming together, too.
[29:10] oka
This is dangerous. There's
no telling what'll happen.
[29:14] oka
He should have taken the win.
[29:16] oka
Washizu-sama.
[29:19] was
Don't worry.
[29:20] was
That was a cheap bluff. He's only got trash.
[29:28] was
Right?
[29:31] was
I won't be deceived.
[29:34] was
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.

Secure this double yakuman now!

Your ruin is our ruin, as well.

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.

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.

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.

Washizu-sama!

[14:41] Nar
It's an overwhelming security padding.

Yet, on the off-chance that his

[14:50] (Flashback) Aka

[14:52] (Flashback) Aka

[14:53] (Flashback) Aka
32,000, and with the two

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?!

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!
[27:58] Aka
Pon.
[28:07] Aka
Pon.
[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
Washizu's remaining funds: 11.6 million yen.
SIGN Washizu's Remaining Funds
SIGN 11.6 Million Yen
SIGN 11.6 Million Yen = 11,600 Points
[34:16] Nar
Converted to points, that's 11,600.
SIGN Sixth Game
SIGN South Hand 1, Bonus 1
[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'll take 70 cc now.

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,

and victory is right in front of us.
[02:10] Aka
That's right.
[02:11] Aka
It's right in front of you.

Your victory... or your death.

We're going on.

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!
[05:01] Was
A string of useless draws.
[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.
[18:21] (Flashback) Aka
Tsumo.
[18:22] (Flashback) Aka
Suu ankou.
[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

[21:06] Aka
when the last of one's thought patterns
comprehends one's destruction.

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?

If he wins off the dealer's first
discard, he'll have a renhou.
SIGN Renhou - A yaku defined by a non-dealer declaring ron with a starting
hand before the dealer gets a second turn or before any called tile.
[24:45] oku
It'll be counted as a baiman of 16,000 points.
[24:48] oku
If Akagi discards it now, it all ends here.
[24:52] oku
And from Akagi's angle, Washizu's
starting tiles look like a bad hand.
[24:58] oku
If nothing else, there's no way
he could ever guess he's in tenpai.
[25:02] oku
So even Akagi would deal into his hand.
[25:04] oku
The only problem is, does Akagi have
the winning north wind tile or not?
[25:12] oku
He does have it.
[25:14] oku
Two of them... Too bad.

If he only had one north wind,
he might've discarded it right away.

he'd have a chiihou, a yakuman!
SIGN Chiihou - A yakuman hand achieved when a non-dealer completes a hand by calling a discard on the first turn.

Akagi would pay 16,000 points

Luck that strong just isn't possible.

At this point, Akagi had the following tiles.

You have all three of them, don't you?
Not bad, Akagi Shigeru.

the tile I need at any time.
[26:31] Was
But since I got this rare double riichi,
[26:34] Was
I should try to draw it myself
for two or three turns.
[26:38] Was
If it doesn't work, I can
let Suzuki deal me the tile.
[26:49] Was
No. I can't do that.

[31:08] Yasu
Pon!
[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.
