**[00:00] (Flashback) Aka**
Ron.
**[00:03] (Flashback) Yas**
All right!
**[00:04] (Flashback) Yas**
Now we're on top for the fifth game, too.
**[00:06] (Flashback) Yas**
Amazing!
**[00:07] (Flashback) Was**
We're taking a short break.
**[00:08] (Flashback) Was**
Pay him.
**[00:09] (Flashback) Aka**
Wait.
**[00:11] (Flashback) Aka**
If the dealer in the last hand finishes on top,
**[00:14] (Flashback) Aka**
he has the right to end the game,
but it's not required.
**[00:17] (Flashback) Aka**
I'm saying we're continuing
game five, with a bonus counter.
**[00:23] (Flashback) Yas**
Hey, what the hell are you saying?
**[00:26] (Flashback) Aka**
This is the time to go.
**[00:32] (Flashback) Aka**
Win, win, and continue to win...
**[00:36] (Flashback) Aka**
And squeeze out his money,
as if it was his lifeblood.
**[00:42] (Flashback) Aka**
To the last drop.
**[00:45] (Flashback) Was**
I've caught the tail of the monster!
**[00:53] (Flashback) Was**
This time, I *will* kill you.
**[00:57] (Flashback) Aka**
So, shall we begin?
**[01:02] (Flashback) Aka**
South Hand 4, Bonus 1.
***SIGN*** Fifth Game
***SIGN*** South Hand, Bonus 1
**[01:28] Nar**
The fifth game ended with Akagi in the lead.
**[01:32] Nar**
Nobody dreamed he would choose
to continue the game as dealer.
**[01:46] Aka**
Ron.
**[01:51] Aka**
Ittsuu, one dora.
**[01:52] Aka**
7,700 makes it 8,000.
***SIGN*** Each counter adds 300 points to the winning hand.
**[01:59] yas**
Good.
**[02:01] oug**
What a relief.
**[02:04] oug**
I was worried about you continuing as dealer,
**[02:06] oug**
but I guess it ended with no problem.
**[02:07] yas**
Now it's finally over.
**[02:09] Aka**
What are you talking about?
**[02:13] oug**
You can't mean...
**[02:21] Aka**
We're going on.
**[02:22] Aka**
Two bonus counters.
**[02:24] Yas**
Why?
**[02:27] Aka**
Right now, Washizu doesn't have a
single thing going in his favor.
**[02:30] Aka**
He's no better than a dead dog.
**[02:33] Aka**
We can get more... a lot more.
***SIGN*** Fifth Game
***SIGN*** South Hand 4, Bonus 2
**[02:59] Aka**
Ron.
**[03:05] Aka**
Pinfu, iipeikou, two dora.
**[03:07] Aka**
12,000, so 12,600.
**[03:24] Aka**
We're going on.
**[03:26] Aka**
Three bonus counters.
***SIGN*** Fifth Game
***SIGN*** South Hand 4, Bonus 3
**[03:51] Aka**
Ron.
**[03:58] Aka**
East wind, three dora. Mangan.
**[04:13] Yasu**
Akagi, enough.
**[04:14] oug**
Have you lost your mind?
**[04:16] oug**
What's the point in continuing this?
**[04:17] Yasu**
How many hands would you
have won by now if you
**[04:20] Yasu**
had ridden this wave of
luck into the sixth game?
**[04:22] oug**
It's not too late!
**[04:23] oug**
Hurry up and start the sixth game!
**[04:26] Aka**
The sixth game, huh?
**[04:31] Aka**
That's exactly why my
staying dealer has meaning.
**[04:33] oug**
What?
**[04:39] Aka**
Four bonus counters.
**[04:41] Aka**
We're going on.
**[04:48] Oku**
Washizu-sama...
**[04:59] was**
*I can kill him! I can kill him!*
**[05:04] was**
*I can actually kill him!*
***SIGN*** Episode 7
***SIGN*** Washizu Mahjong
**[05:17] Nar**
Washizu Mahjong.
**[05:21] Nar**
These are the tiles used.
**[05:26] Nar**
Three of the four tiles in
each suit are transparent,
**[05:29] Nar**
making their faces visible even from the back,
**[05:34] Nar**
and only one is a regular tile
with a black back.
**[05:41] Nar**
No walls are built in Washizu Mahjong.
**[05:45] Nar**
Tiles for the starting hand and each draw are
taken from a hole in the middle of the table,
**[05:54] Nar**
wearing a leather glove on the right hand
to prevent feeling which tile is grabbed.
**[06:14] Nar**
Once the starting hands are drawn,
the dealer draws one more tile from the hole.
**[06:19] Nar**
This is the dora indicator.
**[06:23] Nar**
The same applies to reverse
dora and new dora from kan,
**[06:29] Nar**
which are drawn from the
hole when the need arises.
**[06:35] Nar**
If Akagi can survive through six East-South
matches with these rules, his side wins.
**[06:42] Nar**
Should he die before then,
**[06:45] Nar**
he will lose all that he had
amassed up to that point,
**[06:49] Nar**
and victory will go to Washizu's side.
***SIGN*** 1000 points = 1 million
**[06:53] Nar**
The rate is set at 1,000 points
being worth 1 million yen,
**[06:56] Nar**
or 100 cc of blood.
***SIGN*** 1000 points = 100 cc of blood
**[07:00] Nar**
It's a one-on-one match
between Akagi and Washizu.
**[07:04] Nar**
At the end of each East-South match,
points are tallied up, including rank bonuses.
**[07:09] Nar**
Additionally, bonus payments
are due every time a direct hit
**[07:14] Nar**
or a tsumo win causes points to trade
hands between Akagi and Washizu.
**[07:20] Nar**
These payments are made
immediately, in cash or blood.
**[07:29] Nar**
This is the essence of Washizu Mahjong.
***SIGN*** Washizu Mahjong
***SIGN*** Fifth Game
***SIGN*** South Hand 4, Bonus 4
**[07:48] Was**
*What on earth could he be thinking?*
**[07:53] Was**
* Why does he take the risk*
* and continue the fifth game?*
**[07:59] Aka**
Riichi.
**[08:04] Was**
*What?*
**[08:05] Was**
*He's declaring riichi?*
**[08:19] Was**
*And the cop's not playing into his hand?*
**[08:24] Was**
* He's avoided riichi because*
* of the risk of losing his blood,*
**[08:28] Was**
* but now he declares it and forfeits*
* control over his discards?*
**[08:34] Was**
* If the cop were in a position*
* to play into his hand right away,*
**[08:39] Was**
* or I were not in a position to win*
* at all, then riichi would be viable.*
**[08:44] Was**
*That is to say, if there were a safety net.*
**[08:48] Was**
*But this riichi is different.*
**[08:51] Was**
*The cop doesn't have his winning tile.*
**[08:56] Was**
*And my hand still lives.*
**[08:59] Was**
*If I build this hand, I can still attack him.*
**[09:09] Was**
*Most likely, he has a good hand.*
**[09:14] Nar**
Washizu's hunch is right.
**[09:16] Nar**
Akagi has an ideal tenpai.
**[09:19] Nar**
He has a five-way wait on the
1,4,7 and 2, 5 of bamboo.
**[09:32] Was**
*Still, it's not a guaranteed win.*
**[09:38] Was**
*He has about a 90% chance.*
**[09:42] Was**
*Which means his concentration is wavering.*
**[09:48] Was**
*Here it is! One tile away from tenpai!*
**[09:56] Was**
*I can kill him.*
**[09:57] Was**
* He's currently in a state where*
* he cannot defend himself.*
**[10:00] Was**
* He has to discard whatever he draws,*
* no matter how dangerous.*
**[10:04] Was**
* He's basically a blockhead*
* who can't do anything.*
**[10:09] Was**
*I'm going to annihilate*
**[10:12] Was**
*this blockhead.*
**[10:23] Was**
*It didn't come on the second turn, either?*
**[10:26] Was**
*And it's such a good wait, too.*
**[10:28] Was**
* But once they stop coming,*
* they stop coming. That's Mahjong.*
**[10:35] Was**
*Right, Akagi?*
**[10:40] Was**
*That's why you must always be prudent.*
**[10:44] Was**
* Yet this riichi is cheap and clumsy.*
* It feels like it's just relying on luck.*
**[10:51] Was**
*You haven't done anything like that all this time.*
**[10:59] Was**
*Does this mean he's looking down on me?*
**[11:03] Was**
*Does he think I'm in such bad shape?*
**[11:15] Was**
*Oh, here it is! And it will go right in!*
**[11:20] Was**
* I can change my edge wait*
* to a double-sided wait.*
**[11:27] Was**
*Good. My hand has finally begun to move.*
**[11:31] Was**
* It's awakened at last from its near-death*
* state. Its pulse has returned!*
**[11:41] Was**
*Tenpai!*
**[11:44] Was**
* What's more, I completed the tougher meld,*
* and now I have a two-sided wait.*
**[11:51] Was**
* Akagi declared riichi and cornered himself*
* into losing control of his discards,*
**[11:56] Was**
*and now I've caught up to him.*
**[12:00] Was**
*A battle is a frightening thing.*
**[12:05] Was**
*One moment's loss of concentration,*
**[12:08] Was**
* or one sloppy move,*
* will become a path to destruction.*
**[12:18] Was**
*All right.*
**[12:19] Was**
*Stealth!*
**[12:29] Was**
*I will keep this one stealthy!*
**[12:33] Was**
*Even without declaring riichi,*
**[12:34] Was**
* I can reach a mangan with this*
* tatehon red dragon hand.*
***SIGN*** Tatehon - Closed honitsu hand (no calls).
**[12:38] ---**
*I don't want him to know*
**[12:41] Was**
*that my hand is in tenpai.*
**[12:54] Was**
* As long as he doesn't know, he's likely*
* to continue his dealer's streak.*
**[13:01] Was**
*There may be a fifth bonus counter.*
**[13:04] Was**
*Especially if he believes my luck is still bad...*
**[13:12] Was**
*I'll get another chance.*
**[13:18] Aka**
Tsumo.
**[13:22] Aka**
Riichi, tsumo, south wind san ankou.
**[13:31] Aka**
Three reverse dora. Baiman.
**[13:34] Aka**
8,000, so that's 8,400 points from everyone.
**[13:44] oug**
I was really worried when
you declared that riichi,
**[13:48] oug**
but it looks like you took
this one home easily, too.
**[13:51] Yasu**
Akagi's luck is going strong.
**[13:54] Yasu**
On the other hand,
Washizu's game is still suffering.
**[14:13] Was**
*Fool.*
**[14:14] Was**
*He doesn't know that I've come back,*
**[14:18] Was**
*so he continues this foolish dealer streak.*
**[14:23] Aka**
Five bonus counters.
**[14:24] Aka**
We're going on.
**[14:33] Was**
*I can kill him.*
**[14:35] Was**
*This time, I really can kill him.*
***SIGN*** Fifth Game
***SIGN*** South Hand 4, Bonus 5
**[14:59] Was**
* At last, the good starting*
* hand I've been waiting for!*
**[15:09] Was**
* From here, it looks like*
* he's got a decent one, too...*
**[15:12] Was**
*Well, let's say we're about neck and neck.*
**[15:16] Was**
*But I won't lose.*
**[15:29] Was**
*I don't think you've noticed yet,*
**[15:32] Was**
* but the poison has finally started*
* to course through your body.*
**[15:45] Was**
*You're crumbling.*
**[15:46] Was**
*Your psyche has started to crumble.*
**[15:53] Was**
*It's clear to see from your last win.*
**[15:56] Was**
* Yes, you had a baiman with the*
* reverse dora and the san ankou,*
**[16:00] Was**
*but it really was just a south wind hand.*
**[16:05] Was**
* It's unthinkable to take the risk*
* of a riichi for such a hand.*
**[16:11] Was**
*At last, the pressure*
**[16:13] Was**
*has cracked the very core of your psyche.*
**[16:26] Aka**
Riichi.
**[16:29] Was**
*Another riichi?*
**[16:48] Was**
* And again, the cop has*
* no winning tile for you?!*
**[16:52] Was**
*A riichi with no guarantees whatsoever,*
**[16:56] Was**
*that will kill you if you draw my winning tile?*
**[17:04] Was**
*Does this guy really have a death wish?*
**[17:09] Was**
*Has being alive become so dull to you?*
**[17:21] Was**
*Tenpai!*
**[17:38] Was**
* If I discard the 9 of circles, I'll have a*
* tanyao, sanshoku, with one dora. A mangan.*
**[17:48] Was**
* There's a chance that he's*
* waiting on this 9 of circles.*
**[17:52] Was**
*However, that chance should be quite slim.*
**[18:01] Was**
*But he's declared riichi.*
**[18:03] Was**
* A riichi that will instantly kill him*
* if he draws my winning tile.*
**[18:08] Was**
* That being the case, I should*
* overlook such a small risk*
**[18:14] Was**
*and go for it.*
**[18:21] Oka**
Is that really true?
**[18:23] guy**
According to the calculations.
**[18:26] oka**
Please wait!
**[18:33] oka**
Washizu-sama, forgive me.
**[18:35] Was**
What?
**[18:37] Oka**
This way, please.
**[18:42] Oka**
The game's on hold.
**[18:50] was**
Well?
**[18:52] Oka**
Long story short, if you deal Akagi
a mangan or higher hand, it's over.
**[18:57] Oka**
The match will be over.
**[19:01] oug**
What are they so anxious about?
**[19:03] Aka**
So they noticed.
**[19:05] oug**
Noticed what?
**[19:07] Oku**
What I'm saying is...
your money will run out.
**[19:15] Was**
That's impossible!
**[19:17] Oku**
You can't go on to the sixth game.
**[19:20] Was**
What are you talking about?
**[19:22] Was**
With the 100 million I added before,
we should have over 200 million yen left.
**[19:28] Oku**
The gap penalty is going to hurt.
**[19:32] Was**
Huh?
**[19:33] Oku**
When we tally up the winnings,
Akagi pays in blood and you pay in cash.
**[19:39] Oku**
The rule that the point difference between
you two is paid out was a fatal mistake.
**[19:50] Oku**
That point difference has become exorbitant.
**[19:55] Oku**
That pile will...
**[20:00] Oku**
This is what I mean.
***SIGN*** Akagi +102,200 Washizu-sama -22,200 Difference 124,400
**[20:09] oku**
This is the current score between you two.
**[20:11] oku**
Please double-check it.
**[20:22] oku**
Currently, we have +102,200
points against -22,200 points.
***SIGN*** If the score tally was done now
***SIGN*** points
***SIGN*** Akagi
**[20:30] Oku**
With the rank bonus of 30,000 points
and the wager of 20,000 points,
***SIGN*** Rank Bonus
***SIGN*** Rank Bonus Wager
**[20:36] Oku**
Akagi has an additional 50,000 points,
***SIGN*** points
**[20:39] Oku**
bringing him to a grand
total of +152,200 points.
**[20:43] Oku**
Meanwhile, with you, in last place...
***SIGN*** points
***SIGN*** Washizu
**[20:45] oku**
You have -22,200 points.
**[20:48] oku**
You lose another 30,000 with the rank bonus.
***SIGN*** Rank Bonus
**[20:51] oku**
In total, you're at -52,200 points.
***SIGN*** points
**[20:55] oku**
Which means that if the game
were to end right now...
***SIGN*** points
**[21:02] oku**
There'd be a 204,400-point gap.
**[21:07] oku**
Put into cash, that's 204 million yen.
**[21:11] oku**
Right now, with the 100 million
yen addition you made,
**[21:16] oku**
you have 233.5 million yen.
***SIGN*** 233.5 Million Yen
**[21:20] oku**
If we take that 233.5 million yen and
**[21:23] oku**
subtract Akagi's current
winnings of 204 million yen...
***SIGN*** 233.5 Million Yen - 204 Million Yen
***SIGN*** 29.5 Million Yen
**[21:32] oku**
That leaves you with 29.5 million yen.
**[21:36] oku**
That 29.5 million yen is the
only money you have left.
**[21:44] oku**
So, hypothetically, if you deal into
Akagi's 12,000 point dealer mangan hand,
**[21:53] oku**
with the 1,500 point bonus
from the five counters,
**[21:55] oku**
he'll get a total of 13,500 points.
***SIGN*** 29.5 Million Yen
**[21:57] oku**
Which means 13.5 million yen will
be gone from this direct hit bonus.
***SIGN*** 29.5 Million Yen
-13.5 Million Yen
(Direct Hit Bonus)
***SIGN*** 16 Million Yen
**[22:06] oku**
You'll be left with 16 million yen.
**[22:10] oku**
Also, when this bonus is paid out,
**[22:12] oku**
an additional 27,000 point gap
will widen between the payer and
**[22:18] oku**
the payee, meaning 27 million yen.
***SIGN*** 16 Million Yen
-27 Million Yen
(Point difference payment caused by dealer mangan)
**[22:22] oku**
That 27 million yen is more
than the 16 million you have left.
**[22:33] oku**
You'll be bankrupt.
**[22:36] oku**
Which means...
**[22:38] oug**
They don't have enough money
to make it to the sixth game?
**[22:42] oug**
I see.
**[22:43] Yas**
So this is why you've stayed dealer.
**[22:46] oug**
So basically, from the beginning,
**[22:48] oug**
you never intended to go to the sixth game?
**[22:52] oug**
You planned on setting the match
before that, in the fifth game.
**[22:55] yas**
You're the type who'd plan that far ahead?
**[23:00] Was**
I see.
**[23:02] Was**
So that chain of riichis was his
plan to score direct hits off of me.
**[23:10] Was**
Just how devious are you?
**[23:17] Was**
You pretended to be out of it, when in truth,
**[23:20] Was**
you were waiting for your chance to kill me.
**[23:28] Oku**
Washizu-sama.
**[23:30] Oku**
Please, you must be careful.
**[23:34] guy**
You must not fight him.
**[23:36] guy**
If you do, it won't just be
defeat in the fifth game.
**[23:39] guy**
You may lose the right to play the sixth.
**[23:41] Guy2**
That's right.
**[23:42] Guy2**
Since you have very few reserves
left, you must be cautious.
**[23:45] Guy2**
Anything but a direct hit!
**[23:49] Was**
Are you telling me to run away?
**[23:52] Was**
Me, the man who was called
the king of the underworld?
**[23:59] Was**
You're telling me to run because
I don't have enough money?!
**[24:03] Oku**
Forgive us.
**[24:03] Oku**
But we can't help but think,
given the situation at hand...
**[24:06] Was**
I will not!
**[24:09] Was**
I will not run away!
**[24:12] Was**
It's going to pass!
**[24:13] Was**
I'm the king!
**[24:14] Oku**
But, sir...
**[24:15] Oku**
Washizu-sama—
**[24:15] Was**
It will pass!
**[24:16] Was**
I'll make it pass and kill this brat!
**[24:20] Aka**
That's it.
**[24:21] Aka**
That's the spirit.
**[24:24] Aka**
Come on, Washizu, you impoverished thing.
**[24:31] Was**
Me?! Impoverished thing?!
**[24:33] ---**
Washizu-sama!
**[24:35] Was**
Let me go!
**[24:37] Oku**
You mustn't let him provoke you!
**[24:38] ---**
Stay calm!
**[24:39] Oku**
Washizu-sama!
**[24:40] guy**
His rudeness is merely to elicit
a rash response from you!
**[24:44] guy**
You must not respond to it!
**[24:46] guy**
Control yourself!
**[24:59] Was**
Move.
**[25:01] Was**
I am calm.
**[25:08] Oku**
Then...
**[25:13] Oku**
Um...
**[25:14] Was**
I know.
**[25:17] Was**
You want me to know that discarding
the 9 of circles will lead to my doom.
**[25:23] Oku**
Thank you, sir.
**[25:26] Was**
However...
**[25:29] Was**
I will discard it.
**[25:32] Was**
I will discard this 9 of circles!
**[25:35] ---**
What?
**[25:39] Guy**
Washizu-sama?
**[25:40] Oku**
Sir, we've been saying...
**[25:41] Was**
Akagi is in riichi.
**[25:43] Was**
He must discard any tile
that isn't his winning tile.
**[25:45] Was**
This is a one in a million chance for me.
**[25:53] Was**
Of course, I would not force this tile's
discard if it were a dangerous tile.
**[25:59] Was**
But it's safe.
**[26:04] Oku**
I see...
**[26:05] Was**
Look.
**[26:06] Was**
Look at his hand and think about it.
**[26:09] Was**
He can't possibly be waiting on this
9 of circles to complete his pair.
**[26:14] Oku**
How can you know that?
**[26:17] Was**
Because of the north wind he
discarded when he declared riichi.
**[26:22] Was**
He couldn't bring himself to wait on that.
**[26:26] Oku**
I see!
**[26:28] Oku**
He originally wanted to
wait on that north wind!
**[26:32] Oku**
If he had waited on that north wind,
the cop could've played into his hand.
**[26:40] Oku**
At a time like this, on the brink of
the finale of a Mahjong deathmatch,
**[26:45] Oku**
anyone would prefer that wait.
**[26:47] Oku**
But he didn't do that.
**[26:52] Was**
At that point, all the chances
of him waiting on a single tile
**[26:58] Was**
disappeared.
**[27:08] Was**
Therefore,
**[27:11] Was**
this kind of 6, 9 of circles
wait also disappeared.
**[27:17] Was**
The 9 of circles is safe.
**[27:21] Was**
Most likely, he an 8 of circles as his pair.
**[27:27] Was**
Which means he has a
two-sided 4, 7 of circles wait.
**[27:32] Was**
Or,
**[27:35] Was**
a closed 5 of circles wait.
**[27:42] Was**
Or, he's got a 6 of circles pair and
an edge wait on a 7 of circles.
**[27:50] Was**
Or, he's got a double pon
wait on 6, 8 of circles.
**[27:59] Oku**
But, sir...
**[28:00] Was**
But what?!
**[28:04] Oku**
Yes, sir.
**[28:05] Oku**
I will tell you.
**[28:07] Oku**
What you said just now is absolutely sound.
**[28:11] Oku**
There is no way to refute you.
**[28:14] Oku**
I understand the logic.
**[28:16] Oku**
I understand, but...
**[28:19] Oku**
There is a chance that Akagi is
ignoring logic to shoot you down.
**[28:24] Oku**
That is...
**[28:27] Oku**
What if he predicted that the 9 of circles
would be in the way of your tenpai,
**[28:32] Oku**
so he deliberately changed his wait
from a north wind to a 9 of circles?
**[28:40] Was**
You moron.
**[28:41] Was**
What would he do if I drew the 8 of circles?
**[28:47] Was**
His guess on the 9 of circles
would be off the mark.
**[28:50] Was**
I'd be in riichi with a two-sided wait,
while he'd be left defenseless.
**[28:57] Was**
Of course, if that's the only wait he could
go for, then he could have bet on it.
**[29:04] Was**
But Akagi could choose.
**[29:09] Was**
He could have chosen the
safe single north wind wait.
**[29:25] Was**
If the cop deals into this
hand right away, then...
**[29:31] Was**
Ron.
**[29:34] Was**
Riichi, ippatsu, east wind iipeikou, one dora.
**[29:37] Was**
A guaranteed mangan.
**[29:42] Was**
With any reverse dora, it could
go all the way to a haneman.
**[29:46] Was**
That's a payout of anywhere
from 12,000 to 18,000 points.
**[29:52] Was**
And that would be enough.
**[29:54] Was**
He would back me another
step further against the wall.
**[29:59] Oku**
That is true...
**[30:01] Was**
Well, let's resume.
**[30:20] Was**
*We're in an extreme situation*
**[30:21] Was**
* where either of us dealing into*
* the other's hand means death.*
**[30:27] Was**
* Who could ignore the safety of a guaranteed*
* north wind win in this kind of situation?*
**[30:35] Was**
*Nobody could do that.*
**[30:37] Was**
* Nobody could ignore*
* that overwhelming allure,*
**[30:41] Was**
*no matter who they are.*
**[30:56] Was**
*What is this?*
**[30:58] Was**
*Why can't I discard it?*
**[31:01] Was**
*Why can't I move?*
**[31:04] Was**
*It can't be!*
**[31:06] Was**
*I have a clear reason...*
**[31:10] Was**
*And yet something holds me back.*
**[31:15] Was**
*A reason beyond reason?*
**[31:20] Was**
*A sixth sense?*
**[31:33] Was**
*That's right.*
**[31:35] Was**
*Remember.*
**[31:37] Was**
* This man is incomprehensible.*
* There's no such thing as "no risk,"*
**[31:43] Was**
*much less any "return"...*
**[31:52] (Flashback) oug**
Akagi, what the hell are you doing?
**[31:55] (Flashback) oug**
What are you doing?!
**[31:56] (Flashback) oug**
Hey!
**[31:57] (Flashback) aka**
I mean... this.
**[32:00] was**
* A normal human seeks to secure*
* guaranteed returns with no risk.*
**[32:07] was**
*This is natural, since people fear death.*
**[32:10] was**
* But this man does not fear*
* even the risk of death.*
**[32:17] was**
*Is he a monster?*
**[32:19] was**
*Indeed, it's unthinkable to throw away the*
**[32:23] was**
* single north wind wait that's*
* guaranteed to be safe.*
**[32:33] was**
* After all, it's not impossible*
* that the 9 of circles he covets*
**[32:38] was**
*actually gets incorporated in my hand*
**[32:42] was**
*and I declare my own riichi.*
**[32:50] was**
* In the worst case scenario, he draws*
* my winning tile and deals into my hand.*
**[33:00] (Flashback) Was**
Ron.
**[33:03] Was**
*The mangan that decides the entire battle...*
**[33:07] Was**
*That sort of pathetic death is a possibility!*
**[33:11] Was**
* That is why the riichi and discard of the north*
* wind was a move he shouldn't have made.*
**[33:16] Was**
* But this lunatic does not even*
* shrink back from a pathetic death.*
**[33:25] Was**
*This man has overabundant talent,*
**[33:27] Was**
* but is willing to throw it into*
* the gutter without a thought,*
**[33:30] Was**
*even if it means his death.*
**[33:34] Was**
*So pure.*
**[33:35] Was**
* Just as dead people no*
* longer desire anything,*
**[33:40] Was**
*he's dead even as he's still alive.*
**[33:45] Was**
*He's not human.*
**[33:48] Was**
*He is an incalculable monster.*
**[34:08] Was**
*Oh, no! This is what he wants!*
**[34:11] Was**
*This 9 of circles...*
**[34:22] Was**
*I'll be devoured if I hesitate much longer.*
**[34:24] Was**
* Now that this 9 of circles has*
* flown from my hand, it's clear:*
**[34:28] Was**
*I must not fight him head-on!*
**[34:32] Was**
*I must run.*
**[34:37] Was**
*Another way... There must be another way...*
**[34:46] Was**
*So then...*
**[34:50] Was**
* Shall I discard the 7 of*
* circles, or perhaps the 4?*
**[34:56] Was**
*Those would both keep me in tenpai.*
**[35:03] Was**
* A tenpai with a closed wait*
* on the 8 of circles...*
**[35:07] Was**
*No. No good.*
**[35:08] Was**
*I can't do that.*
**[35:10] Was**
*Right now, his madness and time are aligned.*
**[35:14] Was**
* Even if I get into tenpai,*
* he'll draw his winning tile first.*
**[35:31] (Flashback) Aka**
Tsumo.
**[35:32] Was**
* If he draws it, it'll be a riichi,*
* tsumo, east wind, iipeikou...*
**[35:37] Was**
* With any reverse dora, it could*
* go all the way to a haneman.*
**[35:40] Was**
*Right now, I've got 29.5 million yen left.*
***SIGN*** Washizu's Remaining Funds 29.5 Million Yen

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

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