SIGN    A True Outlaw
[01:19] nar
    as the man rumored to hail
    from the godly realm.
[01:22] nar
    Now that he's won his first game,
    the prelude to the legend,
[01:25] nar
    the battle is about to
    move on to the next stage.
[01:34] yas
    Hi, over here.
[01:36] yas
    Sorry.
[01:38] yas
    This isn't really a
    place for kids your age,
[01:41] yas
    but places like these are all I know.
[01:43] yas
    You can handle beer, right?
[01:49] yas
    Let me tell you what's been set up.
[01:51] yas
    The match will be in three days,
    on Friday, at 8 PM.
[01:54] yas
    It'll be at a restaurant in
    the city called Sasagawa.
[01:57] yas
    The witness will be Miyauchi,
    the boss of the Takeyoshi group.
[02:01] yas
    He's the most chivalrous
    gambler in the Kanto region.
[02:04] yas
    Now, let's toast to our reunion.
[02:06] aka
    Before we do that,
[02:09] aka
    tell me about the other condition.
[02:17] yas
    All right, let's discuss
    how we'll split the money.
[02:22] yas
    If we win this match,
    my cut will be 20%.
[02:26] yas
    The expenses for setting
    this up will eat about 10%.
[02:31] yas
    As the rep player, you get 20%.
[02:33] yas
    Nangou gets 50% as the one putting
    up the wager. That's standard.
[02:38] aka
    Why do people get so
    dirty as they get older?
[02:42] aka
    You have nothing to lose,
    and you want 20%?
[02:46] aka
    And 10% for the expenses
    sounds awfully high, too.
[02:49] yas
    I'm taking quite a few risks myself.
[02:52] yas
    If my superiors find out I'm doing this,
    I'll be facing a disciplinary dismissal.
[02:56] aka
    That's not enough of a risk.
[02:59] yas
    Damn, all right.
[03:02] yas
    I'll give you 5% from my cut.
[03:05] aka
    That's not what I am talking about.
[03:07] aka
    I only have one condition.
[03:09] aka
    Let's start the wager at eight million.
[03:11] yas
    Eight million?!
[03:13] yas
    Nangou only has six million!
[03:15] yas
    Where are we going to get
    the other two million from?!
[03:17] aka
    You're going to put it up.
[03:19] aka
    If you're not willing to risk
    even that, don't get involved.
[03:23] yas
    You damn brat!
[03:25] aka
    If you don't accept, I'm out.
[03:29] yas
    All right, I'll accept!
[03:34] aka
    Now you're a real corrupt cop.
[03:36] nan
    That's ridiculous!
[03:38] nan
    That wager is insane!
[03:41] nan
    Can't we at least limit it
    to the three million we won?
[03:44] aka
    What's good about this is
    that it's not rational.
[03:47] aka
    Either way, we shouldn't lower
    the wager for this match.
[03:51] aka
    Doing that would be suicide.
[03:55] aka
    It's our insanity that they're afraid of.
[03:59] aka
    That night, I survived because
    I didn't hit the brakes.
[04:02] nan
    That night?
[04:04] yas
    The game of chicken?
[04:09] aka
    It was a gamble I made with some punks.
[04:13] aka
    That game was obviously
    rigged in their favor.
[04:17] aka
    First, they knew exactly
    where they needed to brake.
[04:22] aka
    Second, they chose the
    car on the right side.
[04:27] aka
    On the right side, they could jump out
    from the driver side door if necessary.
[04:33] aka
    The driver on the left can't do that,
    since the other car blocks that side.
[04:36] aka
    Everything was rigged in their favor.
[04:40] aka
    In order for me to win,
[04:43] aka
    I had to negate the condition
    that the game was based on.
[04:46] yas
    What condition?
[04:50] aka
    That we didn't want to die.
[04:55] aka
    At the time, I wasn't afraid of dying.
[05:00] aka
    I had no intention of braking from the start.
[05:04] aka
    Obviously, the car shot off
    the cliff at full speed.
[05:08] aka
    Where those cliffs are situated,
[05:10] aka
    the water suddenly gets
    deeper after a certain point.
[05:13] aka
    So braking actually lowers
    your chance of survival.
[05:16] aka
    But my opponent was too fixated on me,
[05:20] aka
    missing his opportunity
    to jump from his car.
[05:21] aka
    He also braked.
[05:27] aka
    Of course, he bounced off the rocks
    before falling into the water.
[05:33] aka
    He ruined himself.
[05:35] nan
    Are you telling me I should
    do something like you did?
[05:38] nan
    I can't do that!
[05:39] aka
    Yes, you can.
[05:42] aka
    In fact, you already did.
[05:46] aka
    I'm sure you haven't forgotten.
[05:48] aka
    Back then,
[05:50] aka
    when you were playing against Ryuuzaki,
[05:52] aka
    the 5 of circles was a super dangerous tile.
[06:00] aka
    But...
[06:06] aka
    That discard was akin to
    flooring it as you neared the cliff.
[06:11] aka
    Winning money you couldn't earn with
    30 years of honest work, or death?
[06:18] aka
    That's not a bridge you could
    cross with a sane mind anyway.
[06:21] aka
    Nangou-san, throw yourself away.
[06:25] aka
    Just for one more night.
[06:30] nar
    With Yasuoka's additional two million,
[06:32] nar
    the stakes in the match against
    the yakuza are now at eight million.
[06:38] nar
    Today, that would be equivalent
    to about 80 million yen,
[06:42] nar
    all riding on this match.
[06:44] nar
    On the day of the match,
[06:46] nar
    Akagi was summoned by the
    opponents he would be facing.
[06:53] nan
    Why do you have to go there
    just because they called you?
[06:56] nan
    They're the kind of people who
    will kill for money, you know!
[07:01] nan
    Akagi!
[07:02] aka
    Well, there's also something
    I need to get from them.
[07:06] nan
    Listen, it's not too late.
[07:08] nan
    Let's call to cancel.
[07:10] nan
    I can't see any good coming of this.
[07:12] aka
    That doesn't matter.
[07:15] aka
    Tonight's Mahjong match will
    be a game of life or death.
[07:18] aka
    At this point, being locked up
    or threatened won't scare me.
[07:22] nan
    But still... Akagi...
SIGN    Fuji Coffee
[07:26] aka
    This is it.
[07:28] aka
    What do you want to do?
[07:30] aka
    If you're that worried,
    you can come in with me.
[07:32] nan
    No, I'm...
[07:35] aka
    I'll come out when we're done.
[07:37] aka
    Should be about 30 minutes.
[07:43] nan
    Akagi...
[07:55] guy
    We've been waiting for you, Akagi-san.
[07:58] guy
    This way, please.
[08:02] guy
    This is our second in command, Kurosaki.
[08:09] aka
    What is this place?
[08:11] aka
    Pretty rotten customer base.
[08:14] kur
    They're all my underlings.
[08:18] kur
    You're surrounded.
[08:20] kur
    You're in a dark hole now.
[08:22] kur
    No matter what happens here...
[08:27] aka
    You guys are always the same.
[08:30] aka
    You can't try to make
    deals by threatening me.
[08:34] aka
    Get it already!
[08:38] kur
    I see.
[08:39] kur
    You're just as interesting
    as the rumors say you are.
[08:46] kur
    All right, I'll give it to you straight.
[08:49] kur
    Switch sides.
[08:51] kur
    That's the only option you have left.
[08:55] kur
    This isn't a threat.
[08:57] kur
    The guy we have ready is a
    top player in this world.
[09:01] kur
    No matter how much of a genius
    you are, you will lose, 100%.
[09:06] kur
    If you back down now,
    we'll even accept your terms.
[09:10] kur
    This is your last chance.
[09:12] aka
    Terms, huh?
[09:16] aka
    Okay then, half.
[09:18] kur
    Half of eight million?
[09:20] kur
    So four million?
[09:22] aka
    You're way off.
[09:24] aka
    The half I'm talking about is
    half of what your group is worth.
[09:31] aka
    I'm planning on ending you guys tonight,
[09:34] aka
    so half of what is needed
    to ruin your group.
[09:39] aka
    I figure that's about 50 million.
[09:41] aka
    If you're willing to hand
    that over, I'll consider it.
[09:46] kur
    Oh boy, I thought you were
    a little smarter than that.
[09:51] kur
    Fine then, we'll do it
    until one of us is crushed.
[09:55] kur
    But you're going to die.
[09:57] kur
    Are you aware of that?
[10:00] aka
    Right back at you.
[10:03] kur
    There's no talking to you.
[10:05] aka
    Guess the deal's off.
[10:07] aka
    Then, I'm outta here.
[10:09] aka
    Do you have what you promised?
[10:18] kur
    Aren't you in middle school?
[10:19] kur
    What do you need that for?
[10:22] aka
    I'm involved in a bit of a conflict.
[10:25] aka
    These are so useful, especially for
    making people drop their tough acts.
[10:31] aka
    When faced with this,
    they all stop acting.
[10:35] aka
    See ya.
[10:48] aka
    So that's what you look like.
[10:50] aka
    You're my opponent for tonight, right?
[10:54] kur
    How did you know?!
[10:56] aka
    He's completely different from you.
[10:58] aka
    Just around him, the air is colder.
[11:01] aka
    It's almost like a fish wandered
    into a pack of beasts.
[11:14] aka
    Let's see how real your
    expressionless face really is.
[11:20] aka
    The chance is one in five.
[11:21] guy
    You damn brat!
[11:23] kur
    Wait, just watch.
[11:44] ichi
    Seven to the right.
[11:45] ichi
    That's the number of times the
    chamber rotated after you put in the bullet.
[11:49] ichi
    When the center chamber is loaded,
[11:52] ichi
    considering the chamber rotates
    once with every trigger pull,
[11:55] ichi
    it will fire on the fourth,
    ninth, and fourteenth time.
[11:59] ichi
    Even an amateur could tell the chamber
    rotated between four and nine times.
[12:05] ichi
    You pulled the trigger knowing that.
[12:09] ichi
    At first glance, it looked reckless,
    but it was all calculated.
[12:12] ichi
    You might be able to scare normal
    people shitless, but it won't work on me.
[12:25] aka
    Fun.
[12:26] aka
    You're right, this guy is actually
    in a different league than Yagi.
[12:31] aka
    I'm looking forward to tonight.
[12:33] ichi
    I wonder about that.
[12:36] ichi
    We don't know if you will
    survive until tonight.
[12:40] ichi
    We're only half done here.
[12:43] ichi
    Am I wrong?
[12:44] ichi
    You pointed the gun at me
    and pulled the trigger.
[12:48] ichi
    Therefore, you must do
    the same with yourself.
[12:51] ichi
    Only then can we say this is over.
[12:55] ichi
    Am I wrong, Akagi-kun?
[13:00] aka
    I see.
[13:04] aka
    Do as you wish.
[13:05] aka
    But you will be pulling the trigger.
[13:08] aka
    Then it's truly an eye for an eye.
[13:10] kur
    Ichikawa!
[13:11] kur
    Don't do something stupid
    because the kid taunted you!
[13:15] ichi
    In this world, the more stupid,
[13:19] ichi
    the more insane things are,
    the more fun they are.
[13:26] aka
    You...
[13:28] ichi
    Yes. I am blind.
[13:32] ichi
    When I was young,
    I played a game like this.
[13:36] ichi
    The gun misfired and I lost my sight.
[13:41] ichi
    There you are.
[13:43] ichi
    Sorry, you'll have to be patient with me.
[13:49] ichi
    I can't aim without doing this.
[13:53] ichi
    But now, it's fine.
[13:55] ichi
    If the gun fires,
    you'll be going straight to Hell.
[13:58] ichi
    How do you feel, Akagi-kun?
[14:03] aka
    This is fun...
[14:05] aka
    The more insane things are,
    the more fun they are.
[14:08] kur
    Stop it, Ichikawa!
[14:09] kur
    What if it actually fires—
[14:11] ichi
    It won't!
[14:14] ichi
    How could it?
[14:15] ichi
    Do you think it's this kid's
    fate to die here in vain?
[14:20] ichi
    No, that won't happen!
[14:24] ichi
    Fate says that it won't fire!
[14:34] ichi
    His fate doesn't allow him to die here.
[14:38] aka
    Yeah, right.
[14:40] aka
    You said it earlier yourself.
[14:42] aka
    The chamber rotated seven times.
[14:45] aka
    So it would work for another turn.
[14:48] aka
    Your hearing is your lifeline.
[14:50] aka
    There's no way that you would mishear.
[14:54] aka
    You don't believe in luck or fate.
[14:57] aka
    What you believe in is your own ears.
[15:00] aka
    Only your own, superior ability.
[15:03] aka
    Am I wrong?
[15:08] aka
    To be honest, I'm like that, too.
[15:19] nan
    Akagi!
[15:21] nan
    Are you okay?
[15:23] aka
    Yeah, not a scratch on me, see?
[15:25] nan
    Y-Yeah...
[15:27] nan
    Whew, that's a relief.
[15:35] aka
    One of my kind?
[15:39] aka
    No, there's no one like me.
[15:44] aka
    Akagi?

    Him or me... one of us is the fake.
