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

    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.

    How old are you?
[10:49] Aka
    Nineteen.
[10:54] Was
    Youth is valuable.
[10:57] Was
    That very youth is proportional to
    the huge sum I'm putting on the line.
[11:04] Was
    Ougi-kun.
[11:05] Oug
    Yes.
[11:08] Was
    This young man might die here.
[11:14] Was
    Is that all right with you?
[11:18] Oug
    That is fine.
[11:19] Was
    Splendid.
[11:24] Was
    Now, then...
[11:27] Was
    What is your name?
[11:32] Aka
    Akagi.
[11:39] Aka
    Akagi Shigeru.
[11:59] Guy
    The match between Akagi and Washizu
    that would later become legend
[12:08] Guy
    in the Mahjong underworld
[12:12] Guy
    began here, on this night.
[12:20] Was
    Take a seat.
[12:29] Was
    Let me explain to you the house rules
    of this mansion's Washizu Mahjong.
[12:35] Was
    I said "rules," but they do not really
    differ from regular Mahjong rules.
[12:41] Was
    What differs are the tools.
[12:48] Was
    We use these transparent tiles to play.
[12:55] Was
    In each suit, three of the
    four tiles are transparent,
[13:00] Was
    and only one is a regular tile with a black back.
[13:07] Was
    Playing with these makes the
    gamble more interesting.
[13:22] Was
    Has the opponent reached tenpai?
[13:24] Was
    What tiles are they waiting for?
[13:27] Was
    How many dora do they have?
[13:29] Was
    You can see it all for yourself,
[13:31] Was
    which makes discarding all the more difficult.
[13:35] Was
    What do you think? Pretty interesting, huh?
[13:39] Was
    Awareness breeds fear.
[13:44] Was
    People tremble only after
    they have become aware.
[13:47] Was
    And it is watching people become aware
    and start to tremble that I find so amusing.
[13:55] Was
    You'll see what I'm talking about,
    once we start to play.
[13:59] Was
    Back to business.
[14:02] Was
    Let's talk about the way we do things
    when we play with these transparent tiles.
[14:09] Was
    There are three rules.
[14:13] Guy
    The first is that no wall will be built.
[14:17] Guy
    The tiles for the starting hand and
    each draw are taken from this hole.
[14:21] Was
    It's no fun if you know the
    next tile you will draw.
[14:27] Guy
    Second, so that the tiles can't
    be read with the fingers,
[14:33] Guy
    draws are made with a leather glove.
[14:37] Was
    Clever, don't you think?
[14:39] Guy
    The third rule regards the indicators for dora,
    reverse dora, and new dora from kan.
[14:46] Guy
    After everybody has their starting hand,
    the dealer draws one more tile from the hole
[14:49] Guy
    to be the dora indicator for that hand.
[14:53] Guy
    The same applies to reverse dora and kan dora.
[14:56] Was
    Three rules.
[14:59] Was
    Simple, isn't it?
[15:02] Aka
    Sure.
[15:05] Yasu
    What's inside that hole?
[15:07] Guy
    After all the tiles are placed in here,
[15:11] Guy
    when someone touches this metal rim,
[15:13] Guy
    a machine will automatically shuffle the tiles.
[15:16] Was
    There is no way to cheat.
[15:18] Was
    If you still have doubt, look for yourself.
[15:29] Was
    Akagi-kun, the real matter comes after that.
[15:35] Was
    There was a time when I used to play Mahjong
[15:39] Was
    for millions of yen with the young
    men Ougi-kun introduced me to.
[15:45] Was
    For a while, I was quite enthralled,
    but it's not enough for me anymore.
[15:53] Was
    What I'm trying to say is, it no longer moves me.
[15:59] Was
    Which is why, lately,
    I've stopped betting money,
[16:04] Was
    and started to bet on something more suitable
[16:08] Was
    to counterbalance my assets.
[16:10] Was
    That is to say...
[16:11] Aka
    The player's blood.
[16:18] Aka
    You're telling me to bet my blood, right?
[16:20] Was
    You're a sharp one.
[16:22] Was
    That's right, you will be betting your blood.
[16:28] Was
    If you lose, you die.
[16:32] Was
    Death generally starts creeping in once the body
[16:37] Was
    loses about a third of its blood supply.
[16:42] Was
    Usually the blood loss is
    fatal before the 50% mark.
[16:49] Was
    Based on your body,
    you most likely have somewhere
[16:52] Was
    between 4 and 4.5 liters
    of blood, which means
[16:56] Was
    you have about 2,000 CCs of blood to bet.
[17:03] Was
    I am putting a price on the amount
    of blood you need to live.
[17:12] Was
    Twenty million yen!
[17:15] Voice
    Twenty million yen at that time is
    equivalent to about 200 million yen today.
[17:22] Was
    What do you say?
[17:23] Was
    That's enough money to live as you
    please for the rest of your life.
[17:28] Was
    Worth betting your life on, don't you think?
[17:32] ---
    So...
[17:34] Was
    Now, how do we convert my twenty million yen
[17:41] Was
    and your 2,000 CCs into Mahjong points?
[17:45] Was
    I'd say that 200,000 points
    would be the appropriate amount.
[17:50] Guy
    Which is to say, If you lose 200,000 points
    during six East-South matches,
[17:55] Guy
    you will lose 2,000 CCs of blood and die.
[17:58] Guy
    On the other hand,
    if you only lose 100,000 points,
[18:00] Guy
    you get to keep all of the
    money you've earned until then.
[18:05] Was
    But pettily taking points between
    all four players is uninteresting.
[18:14] Was
    Tonight is a true duel between you and me.
[18:20] guy
    The 200,000 is the difference between
[18:22] guy
    your and Washizu-sama's points.
[18:25] guy
    Should Washizu-sama finish
    first and you finish last,
[18:28] guy
    you could lose over half of the 200,000 points.
[18:32] guy
    Like this, for example.
SIGN    1st Place Washizu
SIGN    4th Place Akagi
[18:34] oka
    First, say Washizu-sama in first gets
    a rank bonus of 20,000 points.
SIGN    Rank Bonus
[18:40] oka
    Then the 1-3 rank bonus means another 30,000.
SIGN    Wager
[18:43] oka
    Should he have any points
    over 30,000 on hand,
[18:47] oka
    let's say 10,000, those get
    added, totaling 60,000.
SIGN    1st Place Washizu
SIGN    4th Place Akagi
[18:51] oka
    The total is plus 60,000.
[18:54] oka
    On the other hand, you in fourth place
    would lose 30,000 for the wager.
SIGN    Wager
[18:58] oka
    If your points on hand are less than
    30,000, say a deficit of 20,000,
[19:03] oka
    the total is minus 50,000.
[19:05] oka
    The net difference between
    your points would be 110,000.
SIGN    110,000
[19:09] oka
    Were that to happen twice, your
    200,000 points would be gone in a flash.
[19:15] was
    That's how it is.
[19:26] yas
    The payments will be settled after each
    East-South match, so six times, right?
[19:30] was
    I forgot one important point.
[19:34] was
    In this Washizu Mahjong duel,
    there's something like a bonus.
[19:40] was
    Hey!
[19:42] suz
    If there is a direct hit on your opponent,
    or if you get a tsumo win,
[19:47] suz
    along with the points,
[19:49] suz
    the equivalent amount of money or
    blood will be transferred, as well.
[19:54] suz
    The winner decides what
    form of payment it will be.
[19:58] suz
    For example, Washizu-sama gets a direct
    mangan hit off of you for 8,000 points.
[20:04] suz
    Then you'd lose 8,000 points and
[20:09] suz
    800,000 yen in cash, or 80 CCs of blood.
[20:16] suz
    It's the same with tsumo.
[20:18] suz
    Suppose Washizu-sama wins
    a mangan with tsumo.
[20:22] suz
    If you're the dealer, you'd lose 400,000
    yen in cash, or 40 CCs of blood.
[20:28] oug
    What happens if Akagi wins?
[20:30] suz
    Washizu-sama pays in cash, or returns
    blood he's already won off of you.
[20:35] suz
    You can decide which you
    would like after you win.
[20:40] Oug
    You can give him his blood back?
[20:42] yas
    But this rule is only valid
    between the two of you, right?
[20:46] suz
    Of course.
[20:47] suz
    No matter how many times you play
    into the other two players' hands,
[20:50] suz
    no matter how many points you lose,
[20:52] suz
    points are the only thing that change hands.
[20:55] was
    Well?
[20:56] was
    Didn't that illustrate clearly how the duel
    between Akagi-kun and myself is set up?
[21:06] was
    It's actually quite interesting that
    money or blood is transferred
[21:12] was
    during the East-South match.
[21:15] was
    If you happen to deal into a yakuman hand,
[21:18] was
    it's possible that your life could end even
    before the East-South match is over.
[21:27] was
    Of course, this means you cannot
    play with your regular composure.
[21:33] was
    You'll start to shiver.
[21:37] was
    With each tile, the deepest
    core of your being will freeze
[21:43] was
    and you'll really start shaking.
[21:49] was
    I want to see that so badly that I have already
[22:11] was
    killed many young men.
[22:18] aka
    He's tired of it.
[22:21] aka
    He's tired of living.
[22:25] aka
    Standing atop all his successes,
    he's desperately alone.
[22:32] aka
    His life of constant victories is
    no longer enough to satisfy him.
[22:38] aka
    No, it's more than that.
    The poison of success has made him mad.
[22:47] aka
    The mere fact that I am
    young is unforgivable.
[22:51] aka
    "It cannot be that you will live
    longer than me, when I am so great!"
[23:10] was
    Bring it in!
[23:18] was
    This is the tool that will draw out your blood.
[23:27] was
    Each of these bottles holds 100 CCs.
[23:32] was
    With twenty of these filled,
    you will definitely die.
[23:37] was
    You will be living an entire life's worth of
    time in the few hours that are to come.
[23:44] was
    You'll be stepping onto a path of
    carnage from which there is no return.
[23:53] aka
    There is one thing I would like changed.
[23:59] was
    Changed?
[24:02] aka
    It's not enough.
[24:04] aka
    That rate won't destroy you.
[24:09] aka
    I want the rate to be increased tenfold.
[24:14] was
    You're telling me to make my
    20 million yen into 200 million yen?
[24:19] aka
    Yeah.
[24:22] was
    Are you out of your mind?!
[24:23] oug
    Akagi, that's a bit...
[24:26] aka
    I've got no qualms with the fact that you
    valued my punk life at 20 million yen.
[24:30] aka
    My problem is that you are diluting
    my life's value by equating it to
[24:35] aka
    the inflated value of 200,000 points.
[24:37] was
    What are you saying?
[24:39] aka
    It's simple. Just make the
    20 million yen worth 20,000 points.
[24:47] aka
    Then you can be destroyed, too.
[24:50] aka
    If I should win 50,000 points,
    that would net me 500 million yen.
[24:54] aka
    Then you're within reach.
    Your destruction will be within reach.
[24:59] was
    Are you stupid?
[25:02] was
    I will not perish. Understand?
[25:07] was
    How do you expect to survive
    six East-South matches
[25:14] was
    with only 20,000 points?
[25:17] was
    The ranking bonus alone
    is 10,000 and 30,000!
[25:22] was
    If I'm ahead of you in a single match,
    that alone gives me a rank bonus of 20,000,
[25:27] was
    and you'll be dead.
[25:31] was
    If you deal into two of my mangan hands,
    that's 16,000 points. 1,600 CCs!
[25:38] was
    How could you possibly survive
    six East-South matches like that?
[25:47] aka
    It wouldn't be really impossible.
[25:49] was
    What?
[25:51] aka
    First off,
[25:53] aka
    if you don't set 20 million to correspond
    to 20,000 points, it's pointless.
[25:59] aka
    I wouldn't be able to achieve
    tonight's primary goal,
[26:03] aka
    which is killing you.
[26:06] was
    What is wrong with him?
[26:09] was
    Hey, Ougi, tell this brat
    that this is not a game.
[26:17] oug
    With all due respect, Washizu-sama,
[26:20] oug
    the one who is misunderstanding
    the nature of tonight's game is you.
[26:25] was
    Misunderstanding?
[26:27] oug
    We came here tonight for a genuine battle.
[26:32] oug
    And Akagi is the strongest
    assassin we could find.
[26:39] was
    Ougi. You're serious, too?
[26:46] was
    Who do you think I am?
[26:49] was
    I could easily crush you.
[26:55] yas
    Washizu-san, I don't think you're in
    a position to be saying that anymore.
[27:03] yas
    As you mentioned earlier,
[27:06] yas
    many young men have fallen victim
    to Washizu Mahjong and died
[27:12] yas
    by having their blood
    extracted with this device.
[27:16] yas
    I've heard that you used quite a lot of
    money to sweep this fact under the rug,
[27:21] yas
    on us cops, too.
[27:25] was
    You rotten cop.
[27:29] yas
    And still, the assets remaining in this
    mansion amount to 500 million yen.
[27:34] yas
    I heard you've got it in cash in the safe.
[27:39] oug
    Please bring the rest of your money out here.
[27:44] oug
    The only wager proportional to Akagi's demise
[27:46] oug
    is your own demise, Washizu-sama.
[27:50] oug
    Please accept!
[27:58] was
    Ougi,
[28:01] was

[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

    Washizu-sama, please remain calm.

    He only has 20,000 points
    for six East-South matches.
[28:59] was
    I need outrank him in only
    one, and it's all over.
[29:04] was
    There's not even the slightest
    chance of me losing! Am I wrong?
[29:13] oka
    It is as you say.
    It's unthinkable that you would lose.
[29:18] oka
    However...
[29:19] was
    However?!
[29:21] oka
    Even with that conviction,
    I believe you need insurance.
[29:25] oka
    What if you were to reduce the game
    from six East-South matches to two?
[29:31] oka
    Then there's no real chance that all
    of the 500 million yen could be taken.
[29:36] was
    If it's just two East-South matches,
    he could survive it, too.
[29:42] oka
    To prevent that, we could have a
    rule where you alone can choose
[29:49] oka
    to continue or stop the game
    every two East-South matches.
[29:54] suz
    That's right.
[29:56] suz
    If at the end of two East-South matches,
[29:58] suz
    you need only a tiny push to
    kill him, you can keep going.
[30:02] suz
    But if the game is not in your favor
    and it is looking dangerous,
[30:05] suz
    you can stop there.
[30:08] oka
    A battle of this magnitude requires
    this bare minimum of insurance.
[30:15] suz
    Isn't this how you have built
    up your entire bulletproof life?
[30:21] suz
    Besides,
[30:23] suz
    it was they who made the ridiculous
    suggestion to raise the wager tenfold.
[30:27] suz
    It is only natural for you
    to get this privilege.
[30:34] aka
    I don't mind.
[30:38] aka
    Having that right or not doesn't change anything.
[30:43] aka
    It's a pointless rule.
[30:49] aka
    If anything, Washizu is digging his
    own grave with this privilege.
[30:58] aka
    It's a foolish condition that kills
    his chance of winning.
[31:07] was
    Bring the money.

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.

    Tighten your defenses and
    slip through the cracks to win.
[37:36] oug
    This is the best way.
[37:38] was
    How boring.

    You won't be able to survive
    with that kind of play.
[37:46] was
    You're going to die.

    If you had dealt that 4 of characters
    in the seventh turn and
[37:53] was

[38:15] oug

    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.

    It couldn't have been better.
    Tenpai! Let him call it!
[40:05] aka

[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.

    That means he can support Akagi.

    out of the dealer's spot,

[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.

[41:45] was
    You moron. There's no need to agonize.
[41:48] was
    Thinking is a waste of time.

[42:09] was
    Understand now?
[42:10] was
    The riichi and the instant
    deal of the winning tile is
[42:13] was
    one of the most powerful ways
    to team up in Washizu Mahjong.
[42:16] was
    Even with the cheapest hand,
    a riichi ippatsu is worth two han.
[42:21] was
    If a reverse dora is added,
    it becomes a mangan.
[42:25] was
    I'm 100% certain you've got no chance of
    winning with that gutless playing style.
[42:30] was
    There's nothing left for you but death.
[42:36] oug
    Akagi, if that's how he wants to play,
    you have no choice but to join him in the ring.

[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.

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

[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.

    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
[46:03] Aka
    my points.
[46:06] Was
    Shit!
[46:10] Nar
    Along with the points,
[46:12] Nar
    Akagi collects 3.9 million yen from
    the direct hit bonus off of Washizu,
[46:17] Nar
    and the first game is over.

    Akagi is in first place with 38,500.

    If Washizu gets that, Akagi or not,
    he won't be able to do anything.

    True...

    No...

    Right?

[06:07] Nar
    Washizu Mahjong.

    These are the tiles used.
[06:15] Nar
    Three of the four tiles in each suit are transparent,
    making their faces visible even from the back,
[06:23] Nar
    and only one is a regular tile with a black back.
[06:30] Nar
    No walls are built in Washizu Mahjong.

    Tiles for the starting hand and each draw are
    taken from a hole in the middle of the table,

    wearing a leather glove on the right hand
    to prevent feeling which tile is grabbed.
[07:03] Nar
    Once the starting hands are drawn,
    the dealer draws one more tile from the hole.

    This is the dora indicator.

    If Akagi can survive through six East-South

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!

    His hand advanced again.
[21:14] Was

[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,

    play that tile into his hand again.

    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

SIGN    Chanta - Hand with a terminal (1 or 9) or honor tile in each set.

    That would be a green dragon, west wind

[24:15] Nar
    He would retake the lead.
[24:18] oug
    If the west wind comes out now,

    Akagi will lose his life and I'll lose an arm.
[24:25] oug
    We'll lose all the money, too.

    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...
[36:25] Nar
    The second game is over.
[36:28] Nar
    Akagi seemed to be in a tight spot,
    but at the end, he has 43,200 points.
[36:35] Nar
    Washizu has 32,700 points.
[36:39] Nar
    Akagi wins again, by a margin
    of over 10,000 points.

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

SIGN    Third Game
SIGN    East Hand 1
[01:09] Nar
    The first and second games
[01:11] Nar
    ended with Washizu just nudged into second place.
[01:14] Nar
    He's already lost over 100 million yen.
[01:19] Nar
    Washizu wants to escape
[01:21] Nar
    his bad luck in the previous games,
    but his hand is not so good.
[01:28] Nar
    His draws are also sub-par.
[01:31] Nar
    He is clearly going downhill.
[01:33] Nar
    He's in a slump he can't rectify.
[01:36] Nar
    On the other hand, Akagi is doing well.
[01:39] Nar
    He's already one away from tenpai,
    with three dora, the 4 of circles.
[01:43] oug
    All right.
[01:44] oug
    Luck is on our side.
[01:46] oug
    Having dodged the curse of that
    west wind in the last hand was big.
[01:51] oug
    Still, Akagi isn't relaxing at all, even now.
[01:56] oug
    Actually, this is another dimension entirely.
[01:59] oug
    He has risen far above that.
[02:04] oug
    If he hadn't, he could not have survived.
[02:30] Akagi
    Tsumo.
[02:31] oug
    Yes!
[02:33] Akagi
    Tsumo, ittsuu, three dora. Haneman.
[02:39] Nar
    With this win, Akagi takes an
    additional 3,000 points from Washizu.
[02:44] Nar
    In monetary terms, that is three million yen.
[02:55] oug
    By continuously discarding unnecessary tiles,
[02:58] oug
    you ended up with an ideal hand.
[03:00] oug
    Luck is clearly on your side.
[03:02] oug
    You can do this, Akagi.

    Hey, Okamoto...
[03:34] (Flashback) Oka
    Yes, sir.
[03:39] (Flashback) Was
    If I kill that man,
[03:44] (Flashback) Was
    I will have arrived at the apex of my 75 years
    of life, the moment of supreme bliss.
[03:50] (Flashback) Was
    I really do believe I was born to kill Akagi.
[03:58] (Flashback) Was
    I've already drawn 1,100 cc of blood from him,
[04:03] (Flashback) Was
    so it is very possible that he'll
    die before this hand is over.
[04:08] (Flashback) Was
    Still, I'd like to win by outranking him.
[04:12] (Flashback) Was
    I want to choke the life
    out of him with my skill.
[04:17] (Flashback) Was
    That would be the true
    proof of my superiority.
[04:21] (Flashback) Oka
    But, sir, this is not the time
    for such deliberate plans.
[04:25] (Flashback) Was
    Are you saying you don't think I am capable?
[04:28] (Flashback) Oka
    That is not what I meant, sir.
[04:30] (Flashback) Was
    Haven't you observed me all this time?
[04:35] (Flashback) Was
    How many times have I overcome adversity

SIGN    Washizu Mahjong
[06:01] Nar
    Washizu Mahjong.
[06:03] Nar
    It is a mad game of Mahjong
    in which Washizu bets money
[06:07] Nar
    and Akagi bets his own blood,
    fighting until one is annihilated.
[06:12] Nar
    The rate is set at 1,000 points
    being worth 1 million yen,
SIGN    1000 points = 1 million
[06:15] Nar
    or 100 cc of blood.
SIGN    1000 points = 100 cc of blood
[06:19] Nar
    It's a one-on-one match
    between Akagi and Washizu.
[06:23] Nar
    At the end of each East-South match,
    points are tallied up, including rank bonuses.
[06:28] Nar
    Additionally, bonus payments
    are due every time a direct hit
[06:31] Nar
    or a tsumo win causes points to trade
    hands between Akagi and Washizu.
[06:36] Nar
    These payments are made
    immediately, in cash or blood.
[06:43] Nar
    Three of the four tiles in each suit are transparent,
[06:50] Nar
    and only one is a regular tile with a black back.
[06:56] Nar
    If Akagi can survive through six East-South
    matches with these rules, he wins.
[07:00] Nar
    Should he die before then,
[07:03] Nar
    he will lose all that he had amassed
    up to that point, and Washizu wins.

SIGN    Third Game
SIGN    East Hand 2
[07:27] Oka
    It's crucial he stays the dealer here.
[07:30] Oka
    If he loses it, then there's a 90% chance
    this third game will go to Akagi.
[07:37] Oka
    Even if it's only by 1,500 or 2,000 points,
[07:39] Oka
    he has to win!
[07:41] Oka
    He has no melds, but he's three tiles away
    from a nice hand with three two-sided waits.
[07:46] Oka
    He could fight back with this.
[07:51] Oka
    But the problem is that kid's hand.
[07:56] Oka
    At a glance, it's not very good.
[07:58] Oka
    Washizu-sama's hand is clearly superior.
[08:01] Oka
    Of course Washizu-sama will win.
[08:03] Oka
    It would be nothing short of expected
    to have a worse hand than the last one.
[08:08] Oka
    But he is already three tiles away from
    a possible tanyao, pinfu, sanshoku hand.
[08:12] Oka
    Just how strong is the luck he was born with?
[08:20] Oka
    Two tiles to tenpai in just three turns...
    But I guess he lost the tanyao.
[08:27] Oka
    No, that's fine.
[08:30] Oka
    Right now, speed takes precedence
    over an expensive hand.
[08:32] Oka
    Staying dealer takes priority over everything.
[08:40] Oka
    Now he's lost the pinfu.
[08:43] Oka
    His hand keeps getting cheaper.
[08:49] Oka
    And now the sanshoku is gone.
[08:51] Oka
    It was fine at first,
    but now his hand is worthless.
[08:56] ---
    Wait...
[08:57] Oka
    But if he gets the dora, the 6 of circles,
[09:00] Oka
    he'll have a riichi, ippatsu, with one dora.
[09:02] Oka
    With any reverse dora, that's a mangan!
[09:06] Oka
    Nothing's working in his favor at all...
[09:11] Oka
    But at least he's in tenpai.
[09:13] Oka
    That's what's most important.
[09:16] Oka
    Suzuki has a 1 of circles, so he
    could play it into his single wait.
[09:23] Oka
    He's foregoing the riichi?
[09:27] Suz
    Kan.
[09:29] Oka
    Now I get it.
[09:30] Oka
    It's not too late to declare riichi
    after the new dora's been revealed.
[09:42] Oka
    This is...
[09:51] Oka
    Who could've imagined this?
[09:53] Oka
    Getting kan dora among adversity like this?
[09:57] Oka
    Three of them, no less!
[09:58] Oka
    Unbelievable!
[10:01] Oka
    This is the brute luck this man possesses.
[10:03] Oka
    He lost the first two games,
[10:05] Oka
    and had Akagi win with a haneman
    in the first hand of the third.
[10:08] Oka
    Everything was aligned against him.
[10:09] Oka
    It's been difficult to rise up again,
[10:11] Oka
    but he's done it in spite of the odds
    and got into tenpai as the dealer.
[10:18] Was
    Riichi.
[10:21] Oka
    He's going to win.
[10:25] Oka
    It's a guaranteed dealer mangan.
[10:28] Oka
    Now Suzuki just has to deal
    the 1 of circles into his hand.
[10:31] Oka
    That'll be riichi, ippatsu, three dora.
[10:33] Oka
    With any reverse dora, it'll be a haneman,
[10:34] Oka
    or even a baiman.
[10:38] Oka
    He'll take the lead!
[10:43] Oka
    What?
[10:55] Oka
    Why isn't he dealing him the 1 of circles?
[10:57] Oka
    It would guarantee a dealer mangan!
[11:01] Oka
    I get it.
[11:03] Oka
    Akagi has a...
[11:05] Oka
    And it looks like both the 1 and
    3 of circles are useless to him.
[11:08] Oka
    Because the tile that closed wait is for,
    the 2 of circles, is in Suzuki's hand.
[11:14] Oka
    It's a closed wait he
    must want to get rid of.
[11:17] Oka
    Not to mention, the 3 of circles is
    one of Washizu-sama's safe tiles.
[11:22] Oka
    Dealing him the 1 of circles
    immediately would be
[11:25] Oka
    the essence of Washizu Mahjong.
[11:27] Oka
    And since Suzuki didn't do that,
    Akagi must believe
[11:31] Oka
    that Suzuki does not have
    Washizu-sama's winning tile.
[11:34] Oka
    That is to say, Suzuki's tiles are also safe tiles.
[11:38] Oka
    That's how the logic of the second
    discard pile is established.
[11:42] Oka
    If Akagi believes in that,
    he'll deal the tile for sure.
[11:47] Oka
    If he deals the 1 of circles now,
[11:49] Oka
    he'll lose 1,200 cc for the 12,000 points
    Washizu-sama's dealer mangan is worth,
[11:54] Oka
    putting Akagi's total blood loss at 2,300 cc.
[11:58] Oka
    There's no way he can survive that.
[12:02] Oka
    Will the lethal tile come out?
[12:07] Oka
    Nope...
[12:15] Was
    Of course he won't deal it.
[12:21] Oka
    Washizu-sama...
[12:24] Was
    And that is just fine.
[12:34] (Flashback) Was
    That kid's senses are extraordinary and
    far surpass those of normal people.
[12:43] (Flashback) Was
    He'll easy figure out a trap like that.
[12:47] (Flashback) Oka
    So not letting Suzuki deal the
    ippatsu into your hand is a trap?
[12:52] (Flashback) Was
    Having him deal into my hand after
    riichi would only get me more points.
[13:01] (Flashback) Was
    But it wouldn't advance me
    in any fundamental way.
[13:05] (Flashback) Was
    I wouldn't gain anything special.
[13:08] (Flashback) Oka
    Anything special?
[13:09] (Flashback) Was
    I'm talking about fear.
[13:14] (Flashback) Was
    Even if it's an obvious trap,
[13:17] (Flashback) Was
    it's amusing to sow that seed of suspicion.
[13:24] (Flashback) Oka
    It may not make sense at first,
[13:26] (Flashback) Oka
    but if you wait a few turns instead
    of acting immediately as usual,
[13:29] (Flashback) Oka
    it will shake his confidence
    in the second discard pile.
[13:33] (Flashback) Was
    He will be shaken, and that
    will show its effects later.
[13:39] (Flashback) Was
    In a heavier,
[13:44] (Flashback) Was
    much heavier scene.
[13:53] Was
    That's right.
[13:55] Was
    Even if Suzuki is able to play into
    my hand, there's no need to rush.
[14:02] Was
    Right now, I have a riichi hand with three dora.
[14:06] Was
    An ippatsu tsumo on top of
    that would give me 6 han.
[14:10] Was
    That's a dealer haneman
    worth 6,000 from everyone.
[14:14] Was
    He's had 1,100 cc of blood extracted already,
[14:20] Was
    and if he loses another 600 cc,
[14:22] Was
    that will make a total of 1,700 cc.
    With that much blood lost,
[14:26] Was
    he could die at any moment and
    it would not be surprising.
[14:31] Was
    All I have to do is draw the
    1 of circles now, and he will die.
[14:38] Was
    Now...
[14:40] Was
    Tremble.
[14:53] Was
    That's right.
[14:55] Was
    He's the one suffering now.
[14:57] Was
    I have an overwhelming advantage.
[15:00] Was
    The advantage is mine!
[15:03] Was
    Even if I missed the ippatsu,
    if I draw the tile and get
[15:07] Was
    even a single reverse dora,
    that's enough for a haneman.
[15:10] Was
    The haneman that'll allow me to kill Akagi.
[15:14] Was
    He's the one who should be trembling now.
[15:18] Was
    If I draw the 1 of circles,
    he will be pushed right
[15:21] Was
    into the arms of death, or at
    least to the brink of death.
[15:25] Was
    And of course, if he discards the
    tile, his death will be instant.
[15:30] Was
    I'll extract the blood,
    and he'll shrivel up and die.
[15:35] Was
    Pathetically, too.
[15:37] Was
    Now... Be afraid.
[15:40] Was
    The advantage is mine.
[15:43] Was
    This is the draw that'll kill you.
[15:46] Was
    Kill you... kill you...
[15:49] Was
    The draw that'll kill you!
[16:06] Was
    No, don't rush.
[16:09] Was
    Let me have more fun.
[16:12] Was
    I can win at any time.
[16:14] Was
    Take a good look at their hands.
[16:18] Was
    It looks like that cop's hand
    is going to need some more time.
[16:24] Was
    As long as the pair of red dragons does
    not become a triplet, and he doesn't call it,
[16:30] Was
    we'll be fine.
[16:32] Was
    And Akagi's hand is not even worth
    mentioning. It's a total mess.
[16:37] Was
    He's two away from tenpai, at best.
[16:41] Was
    And with that closed wait...
[16:42] Was
    Since you have three of the 2 of circles,
[16:46] Was
    he'd have to wait for the last one,
    even if he was in tenpai.
[16:52] Was
    There's no need to worry.
[16:55] 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?

    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!

[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

[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

[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

[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.

    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

    Don't think I'll let you get away with it.

    You will bow down before me.
[45:16] Was
    If I get rid of this 4 of circles,
    I'll have a pinfu, ittsuu tenpai.
[45:23] Was
    But this 4 of circles is most likely
    the enemy's winning tile.
[45:34] (Flashback) Aka
    You're actually quite the
    coward, Washizu Iwao.
[45:40] Was
    That's insane.

    I am the king!

    It's even more crucial in Washizu Mahjong
[46:24] Oku
    than in ordinary Mahjong
    that one keeps a cool head.
[46:27] Oku
    Specifically, keeping control of your own fear.
[46:31] Oku
    Should you waver here, you will
    sink into a bog of endless doubts.
[46:36] Oku
    You will be led astray by illusions

    Washizu-sama has played Washizu
    Mahjong many, many times,
[46:58] Oku
    but this is his first time tasting this thrill.
[47:01] Oku
    That is to say, he has never participated
    in the truest sense of the term.
[47:08] Oku
    While his other opponents fought for their lives,
[47:11] Oku
    Washizu-sama alone always stood protected.
[47:15] Oku
    By his overwhelming funds.
[47:18] Oku
    Just as that man said...

    If you remove that costume of money,
    all you'll find there is crazed old man.

    Washizu went on to lose
    the fourth game, as well.

[48:43] nar
    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.

    As you can see, I'm throwing away the

    I could do that for you, but I won't.

    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

    Shall we begin, then?

    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,

    The game advances into East Hand 2
    without a single draw for Washizu.

    Damn it...

    it will pan out sooner or later.

[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...

[21:25] Nar
    His hand is another chiitoitsu.
[21:27] Nar

[21:32] Nar
    Akagi denies him.

[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.

    supposed to be mine!

    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.

    There's nothing left to do but take this.
[35:02] Oku
    Go for the 8 of characters
    with the closed wait,

[35:07] Oku
    It's not what you wanted, but right now...

    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,

    amassed up to that point,

    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.

    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.

    Besides, even if he is Akagi,
[23:09] Oku
    he can't align his hand to win off
    of our leftover tiles every time!

    So make just one more
    strong play, Washizu-sama.

    One of Akagi's safe tiles.

    He couldn't discard it, and now he

[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.

    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!

    Let's take advantage of
    his rut and his weakness!
[30:49] Was

    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,

    he has no other choice.

[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,

    I could count on Suzuki drawing a 5 of circles

    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

[35:52] Was
    the tile that could seal your death,

    would deal you the winning tile?
[36:03] Was

    He was playing me again with
    his madness, his insanity.

    a limited hand as a sanshoku
[36:32] Was

[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?

    He's mocking me!

[39:10] Oku
    Washizu-sama.
[39:15] Oku

    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

[41:55] Was
    That my sanshoku was not yet complete.

    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

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.

[07:48] 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

[17:38] Was
    If I discard the 9 of circles, I'll have a

    Of course, I would not force this tile's

[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

    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

    hand right away, then...

    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.

    Who could ignore the safety of a guaranteed
    north wind win in this kind of situation?
[30:35] Was
    Nobody could do that.

    A sixth sense?
[31:33] Was
    That's right.
[31:35] Was

    This man is incomprehensible.
    There's no such thing as "no risk,"

    A normal human seeks to secure
    guaranteed returns with no risk.

    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.

[33:03] 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

    the gutter without a thought,

[33:34] Was
    So pure.
[33:35] Was
    Just as dead people no

    he's dead even as he's still alive.
[33:45] Was
    He's not human.

    Oh, no! This is what he wants!

[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

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

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

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

[04:55] Nar
    This is the dora indicator.
[05:00] Nar
    The same applies to reverse
    dora and new dora from kan,

    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

[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.

    He has no melds, and he has eight

    you're not anywhere close to tenpai?

    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.

    This kokushi musou face-off is something else.
[10:27] oug
    Akagi was building it...

    A totally unexpected castle!
[10:33] oug
    An illusionary castle.

[12:10] Was
    What?!
[12:12] All
    You mustn't.

[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.

    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.

[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!

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 were on the brink of destruction, too.
[48:19] oug
    If you can't pay the 700,000 yen,
[48:21] oug
    then this match is—
[48:21] Was
    Who said I wouldn't pay?
[48:25] Was
    I just have to pay, right?
[48:40] Was
    Draw it.

[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.

    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
    The decisions made, the resolve found,
[21:06] Aka
    when the last of one's thought patterns
    comprehends one's destruction.
[21:10] Aka
    In other words...

    Where the damage is less,
    even if you deal into my hand.
[21:23] Aka
    Ron.
[21:26] Aka
    Riichi only. 2,900.
[21:29] Aka
    But we won't know until we see the reverse dora.
[21:33] Aka
    If the reverse dora is a 3 of characters,
    a 6 of circles, or a 4 of bamboo,
[21:38] Aka
    it'll give me a dealer mangan of 12,900.
[21:41] Aka
    Meaning you would die.
[22:23] Was
    I survived!
[22:26] oug
    Hey, what's up?
[22:28] oug
    You have 290 cc of blood to extract!

    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.

    The only problem is, does Akagi have
    the winning north wind tile or not?

    for two or three turns.
[26:38] Was

[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.
