**[01:12] Nar**
When Akagi and Ichikawa first
started their zetsu ichimon game,
**[01:15] Nar**
they appeared evenly matched,
**[01:17] Nar**
but now it is becoming
clear who is superior.
**[01:20] Nar**
Ichikawa now has more
than 100,000 points.
**[01:24] Nar**
On the other hand, Akagi is steadily
losing points and now stands at 23,000.
**[01:29] Nar**
Ichikawa takes that opportunity
to change his play style.
**[01:33] Nar**
He gives up on tsumo wins
**[01:34] Nar**
and focuses on getting direct
hit wins off of Akagi.
**[01:37] Nar**
He's going in for the kill.
***SIGN*** Episode 6
***SIGN*** The Picaro's Talent
**[01:48] Boss**
*We've reached the first turning point.*
**[01:51] Boss**
* Will Ichikawa deal a finishing blow,*
* or will Akagi make a comeback?*
**[01:58] Boss**
*They're both going for a one suit hand?*
**[02:00] Boss**
*I see, I see.*
**[02:02] Boss**
* It's not zetsu ichimon anymore;*
* it's zetsu nimon, eliminating two suits.*
**[02:05] Boss**
* It'll be interesting to watch them*
* both go for a characters chinitsu.*
**[02:09] nar**
If zetsu ichimon is like boxing's in-fighting,
**[02:13] nar**
then zetsu nimon is like grappling.
**[02:15] nar**
It's as if they have their hands
on each other's throats
**[02:17] nar**
and are slowly tightening their grips.
**[02:19] nar**
The one who can't hold out any longer
and coughs up the ron tile first dies.
**[02:25] Cop**
*Akagi, isn't that a little reckless?*
**[02:28] Cop**
*Luck isn't on your side right now.*
**[02:31] Cop**
* Ichikawa's much more likely*
* to get his winning tile*
**[02:34] Cop**
*than you are to get yours.*
**[02:36] Nar**
Yasuoka's hypothesis was correct.
**[02:39] Nar**
Akagi has no momentum right now.
Everything is in Ichikawa's favor.
**[02:45] Nar**
The seventh turn.
**[02:49] Nar**
Ichikawa is in tenpai.
**[02:50] Nar**
He's waiting for a 3, 6, or 9 of characters.
**[02:52] Boss**
*Looks like Ichikawa might be the winner...*
**[02:56] Boss**
* He's in tenpai with a concealed*
* dora triplet of red dragons*
**[02:59] Boss**
* and an ideal three-way wait,*
* so early in the game.*
**[03:02] Boss**
*Akagi's miles away.*
**[03:04] Guy**
Kan!
**[03:07] Guy**
The new dora is the 6 of characters.
**[03:10] Guy**
Riichi!
**[03:11] Nar**
In the same round,
**[03:12] Nar**
not just the dealer, but the
South player is also in tenpai.
**[03:15] Nar**
They've caught up with no delay.
**[03:17] Nar**
It looks as though the match
may end here in the seventh turn.
**[03:22] Nar**
But...
**[03:23] Nar**
Just then, Akagi's hand
is still at this stage.
**[03:26] Nar**
You may say he's one tile
away from a chiitoitsu,
**[03:29] Nar**
but the 9 of characters that he must
**[03:31] Nar**
discard for that happens to
be Ichikawa's winning tile.
**[03:34] Nar**
Akagi senses that this tile is dangerous.
**[03:37] Nar**
And then...
**[03:38] Aka**
Chi.
**[03:40] Nar**
With this call, he manages to secure one
9 of characters tile in a sequence.
**[03:45] Nar**
This way, he's not likely to have to discard
the remaining 6 or 9 of characters.
**[03:48] Nar**
Akagi's sharp insight shines as this
remarkable play gets him out of danger.
**[03:53] Nar**
But Ichikawa is also privy to this strategy.
**[03:56] Nar**
He can read Akagi's moves precisely.
**[03:59] Ichi**
*He won't discard the 3, 6, or 9 now.*
**[04:03] Man**
5 of characters.
**[04:04] Ichi**
Chi.
**[04:05] Nar**
Now Ichikawa's waiting for
a 2, 5 or 8 of characters.
**[04:10] Nar**
He changes his wait to the 8 of characters
**[04:12] Nar**
that Akagi is most likely to discard next.
**[04:14] Nar**
He chases him down.
**[04:15] Nar**
As his target moves, so does he.
**[04:19] Nar**
Like a homing missile.
**[04:23] Man**
7 of characters!
**[04:23] Aka**
Chi.
**[04:25] Nar**
With that move, he's used up
his 8 of characters,
**[04:27] Nar**
and he discards the 9 of characters.
**[04:30] Nar**
He's sidestepped Ichikawa's
waits once again.
**[04:33] Nar**
The ninth turn.
**[04:35] Nar**
The South player deals the 2 of characters.
**[04:37] Nar**
This is one of Ichikawa's winning tiles.
**[04:39] Nar**
Yet he doesn't move.
**[04:41] Nar**
He will hold out for a
direct hit off of Akagi.
**[04:45] Aka**
Pon.
**[04:47] Nar**
With this call, Akagi has
now caught up to Ichikawa.
**[04:49] Nar**
He managed to worm out of Ichikawa's
waits and get into tenpai himself.
**[04:53] Nar**
He's waiting on the
1 and 4 of characters.
**[04:56] Nar**
Now Ichikawa faces another decision.
**[05:00] Ichi**
* Akagi took care of his*
* 3, 6, and 9 of characters,*
**[05:02] Ichi**
*as well as his 2, 5, and 8 of characters.*
**[05:05] Ichi**
Therefore, all that's left in his hand
now are 1, 4 and 7 of characters.
**[05:10] Ichi**
*Our waits are the same.*
**[05:12] Nar**
Ichikawa's waiting on the
1, 4 and 7 of characters.
**[05:15] Nar**
He chases Akagi for the third time.
**[05:17] Nar**
Akagi waits for the 1 and 4 of characters.
**[05:19] Nar**
The waits are similar,
**[05:21] Nar**
but Ichikawa has a slight
advantage since his wait
**[05:22] Nar**
also includes the 7 of characters.
**[05:29] Nar**
Akagi's drawn the worst tile,
the 7 of characters dora.
**[05:37] Ichi**
*Looks like you got it.*
**[05:39] Aka**
4 of characters.
**[05:41] Ichi**
Ron!
**[05:42] Ichi**
Dealer haneman. 18,000.
**[05:46] Ichi**
*I finally got you, Akagi.*
**[05:58] Nan**
We're dead.
**[05:59] Cop**
I guess Ichikawa's too much for him...
**[06:02] Boss**
I wouldn't say that.
**[06:04] Boss**
Indeed, Ichikawa's persistence
as he hunted down
**[06:07] Boss**
Akagi's tiles made for an excellent game.
**[06:09] Boss**
His tenacity and intuition are superhuman.
**[06:12] Boss**
However, Akagi's game was
not worse, by any means.
**[06:15] Boss**
In fact, in terms of impressiveness,
his game may have surpassed Ichikawa's.
**[06:20] cop**
What exactly do you mean?
**[06:25] Boss**
This last hand, Akagi consistently
dodged Ichikawa's waits,
**[06:29] Boss**
and finally managed to get himself
into a 1 or 4 of characters wait tenpai.
**[06:32] Boss**
If you had drawn the 7 of characters
then, what would you have done?
**[06:36] Cop**
Huh? Well...
**[06:38] Boss**
Figuring that the 1 and 4 of
characters are his winning tiles,
**[06:40] Boss**
wouldn't you have discarded the 7?
**[06:43] Boss**
Most people would try to
preserve their tenpai,
**[06:46] Boss**
hoping for that tiny chance of it passing.
**[06:50] Boss**
But Akagi didn't try to pursue
that small chance.
**[06:56] Boss**
If he'd discarded the 7 of characters dora,
**[06:58] Boss**
Ichikawa would've had a baiman
and Akagi would've gone bust.
**[07:03] Boss**
His tenacity is truly astonishing.
**[07:05] Boss**
Would a normal person
even consider all that?
**[07:09] Boss**
And even if they considered it,
**[07:10] Boss**
would they be able to resist the
temptation to maintain their tenpai?
**[07:13] Boss**
Akagi did just that!
**[07:16] Boss**
Chasing after something as ephemeral
as "if" will never bring you victory.
**[07:21] Boss**
I can hear Akagi's will, clear as any voice,
from the 7 of characters he kept.
**[07:28] Cop**
Akagi...
**[07:30] Nar**
Winning is something that happens in reality.
**[07:34] Nar**
Without pursuing reality,
there is no way to win.
**[07:38] Nar**
Akagi dealt into someone's
hand, but left his will behind.
**[07:41] Nar**
The will to win in reality.
**[07:46] Nar**
The game is not favoring Akagi right now.
**[07:48] Nar**
He may have limited the loss to a haneman,
**[07:50] Nar**
but drawing the winning
tile itself was bad luck.
**[07:53] Nar**
It's obvious that the game
is favoring Ichikawa.
**[07:56] Nar**
Akagi has 5,000 points,
and that's all he has.
**[08:00] Nar**
It may just end here.
**[08:02] Nan**
*I'm sorry, Akagi.*
**[08:04] Nan**
* I understand that this player*
* is out of your league.*
**[08:08] Nan**
* But you've always overturned*
* accepted notions like those.*
**[08:12] Nan**
*You're a genius, no questioning that.*
**[08:14] Nan**
*Please...*
**[08:15] Nan**
*show me one last time...*
**[08:17] Nan**
*an escape from this dilemma.*
**[08:19] Nan**
*We need some miracle tiles!*
**[08:22] Nan**
*Akagi!*
**[08:25] Nan**
*What a crap hand!*
**[08:28] Nan**
* He might as well keep the terminal and*
* honor tiles and go for a kokushi musou.*
***SIGN*** Kokushi musou: Yakuman hand with one of each terminal and honor tile, plus one tile that matches any of the other 13.
**[08:32] Nan**
*The luck just isn't on his side right now.*
**[08:35] Nan**
*The luck...*
**[08:38] Boss**
*I knew it.*
**[08:40] Boss**
*There's no way we can expect Akagi*
**[08:41] Boss**
* to get a decent hand*
* under these circumstances.*
**[08:50] Boss**
*That's an amazing hand.*
**[08:52] Boss**
*Two dora to boot.*
**[08:54] Boss**
* With a tsumo win, he could*
* get up to a haneman.*
**[08:56] Boss**
* And he's only two tiles*
* away from tenpai already.*
**[08:59] Boss**
* It's the complete opposite*
* of Akagi's starting tiles.*
**[09:02] Boss**
* Who could've predicted*
* such a huge difference?*
**[09:05] Boss**
*If Ichikawa wins with a haneman,*
**[09:06] Boss**
* he'll get 6,000 from each*
* player as the dealer.*
**[09:09] Boss**
* Akagi will have to give up his*
* last 5,000 points and die.*
**[09:13] Boss**
*And that will be the end.*
**[09:16] Nan**
*Damn it!*
**[09:18] Nan**
*Even his draws are complete shit.*
**[09:20] Nan**
*It's the sixth turn and he's still got nothing!*
**[09:23] Nan**
I guess there's nothing he can do...
**[09:25] Cop**
No.
**[09:26] Cop**
He's on it already.
**[09:27] Nan**
Huh?
**[09:32] Nan**
Looking at Akagi's discard pile...
**[09:34] Nan**
*That's it!*
**[09:36] Nan**
*I see what he's getting at...*
**[09:38] Nan**
* He's hinting at a kokushi musou*
* or a chinitsu to tie their hands.*
**[09:42] Man**
Riichi!
**[09:45] Nan**
*It's hopeless.*
**[09:46] Nan**
*No one sees him as a threat right now.*
**[09:49] Nan**
*His attempt was totally ineffective.*
**[09:51] Nan**
*His final effort failed. Is this the end?*
**[09:58] bos**
*5 of characters?*
**[09:59] yas**
*That's right by the dora!*
**[10:01] nan**
*Have you gone insane?!*
**[10:04] Nar**
Dealing into another player's
hand right now is fatal,
**[10:06] Nar**
yet Akagi makes a bold move.
**[10:08] Nar**
And again on the next turn...
**[10:11] Nar**
He discards a 4 of characters dora,
making two consecutive reckless moves.
**[10:15] Nan**
*This is crazy.*
**[10:18] Boss**
*I get it.*
**[10:19] Boss**
*Akagi's betting his life on this bluff.*
**[10:23] Nar**
These character tiles are exactly
what the player in riichi wants.
**[10:26] Nar**
Akagi was ready to face death when
he discarded those two tiles.
**[10:30] Nar**
His hand is in shambles.
**[10:33] Nar**
At first, it seems foolish to bet
his life on a trash hand like this.
**[10:37] Nar**
However, that's precisely what is
needed in order to deceive others.
**[10:42] Nar**
People are always disoriented by
actions that seem counterproductive.
**[10:45] Nar**
How can you ever fool anyone
without risking anything yourself?
**[10:49] Nar**
Akagi's boldness plants
doubt in his opponents.
**[10:53] Nar**
Doubt gives way to delusions,
and delusions give birth to fear.
**[10:57] Nar**
To them, his trash hand no
longer looks like a trash hand.
**[11:05] Nar**
With this one discard,
**[11:06] Nar**
Akagi's bluff now controls the entire table.
**[11:09] Nar**
The next player gives up on winning.
**[11:11] Nar**
The player before him looks troubled, as well.
**[11:14] Nar**
And once you've gained
control, lies becomes truths.
**[11:18] Nar**
Akagi arrives at his own truth by
deliberately weakening himself.
**[11:24] Nar**
Ichikawa is in tenpai.
**[11:25] Boss**
*This is perfect.*
**[11:27] Boss**
*If he discards the 5 of characters,*
**[11:28] Boss**
*he's looking at a haneman tsumo.*
**[11:30] Boss**
*He can end the match—*
**[11:32] Boss**
*What?!*
**[11:35] Man**
R-Ron!
**[11:36] Boss**
*What?! Why?!*
**[11:39] Boss**
*It can't be!*
**[11:40] Boss**
*I see.*
**[11:42] Boss**
* A judgment typical of a man*
* as pragmatic as Ichikawa.*
**[11:45] Boss**
* Right now, the only thing Ichikawa*
* wants to prevent is Akagi winning.*
**[11:49] Boss**
* He probably knew the kokushi musou*
* had a 90% chance of being a bluff,*
**[11:54] Boss**
*but he figured,*
**[11:55] Boss**
* on the off-chance that Akagi*
* escapes out of reach again,*
**[11:57] Boss**
*he'd be better off throwing away this hand.*
**[12:05] Boss**
* For Ichikawa, dealing into that*
* hand was the logical conclusion.*
**[12:08] Boss**
* But this sort of underhanded play*
* might change the flow of the game.*
**[12:14] Boss**
* Thinking about it,*
* this was a godly play by Akagi.*
**[12:18] Boss**
* He used his terrible*
* starting hand and his draws*
**[12:21] Boss**
*to force Ichikawa out of the dealer seat.*
**[12:24] Boss**
*With this trash hand...*
**[12:28] Nar**
To rewrite lies into truths,
he bled himself without hesitation.
**[12:33] Nar**
Each of Akagi's tiles seems to
glisten with his own blood,
**[12:36] Nar**
placing unsurmountable
pressure on Ichikawa.
**[12:39] Boss**
*This is Akagi's Mahjong...*
**[12:45] Nar**
Akagi's just come back
from the depths of Hell,
**[12:48] Nar**
and his starting hand looks like
he's just made a pact with the devil.
**[12:54] Nar**
It's an extraordinary starting hand.
**[12:56] Nar**
Could this be the luck
Akagi was born with?
**[12:58] Nan**
* Whenever he survives*
* a near-death encounter,*
**[13:00] Nan**
*Akagi returns with a monster hand.*
**[13:03] Nar**
Then, five turns later...
**[13:05] Aka**
Tsumo.
**[13:06] Nar**
He wins this unbelievable
hand with a tsumo.
**[13:08] Nar**
Honitsu, tsumo, chanta, san ankou,
red dragons, green dragons, 1 dora.
**[13:13] Nar**
A sanbaiman.
***SIGN*** Sanbaiman - Triple mangan.
**[13:16] Nar**
The sand at the depths
of Hell is magical sand.
**[13:20] Nar**
Touching it will reverse the poles
of great fortune and great loss,
**[13:24] Nar**
much like a coin turning
from one side to another.
**[13:27] Nar**
Now Akagi is the dealer.
**[13:29] Nar**
He takes another 5,800
from the player after him.
**[13:33] Nar**
Then he gets another dealer
mangan with a tsumo win.
**[13:37] Nar**
He gives himself up to his flow
and goes on a winning streak.
**[13:39] Nar**
He now has 47,000 points.
**[13:43] Nar**
He's made it back to just under 50,000.
**[13:48] Nar**
But the problem is still ahead.
**[13:51] Nar**
Ichikawa is a wall he cannot penetrate.
**[13:55] Nar**
He was unable to get a direct win
off the real target, Ichikawa.
**[13:58] Nar**
In this game,
**[13:59] Nar**
he must decrease Ichikawa's points
if he wants to approach victory.
**[14:04] Nar**
Akagi attempts unorthodox waits,
hell waits, and all other manners of waits,
**[14:08] Nar**
but Ichikawa plays too defensively
and never deals into his hand.
**[14:12] Aka**
Riichi.
**[14:13] Nar**
Akagi doggedly tries to
win off of Ichikawa.
**[14:16] Nar**
He goes into a hell wait for
the last of the four wind tiles.
**[14:20] Nar**
The game, however, ends up
being another fruitless draw.
**[14:23] Nar**
Ichikawa will not deal into his hand.
**[14:28] Aka**
Oh, boy.
**[14:30] Aka**
Let's stop this.
**[14:33] Aka**
It's never going to end, Ichikawa-san.
**[14:37] Aka**
What good does it do for us to
keep piling up these points?
**[14:41] Aka**
What we really want
**[14:43] Aka**
are the points that we have to
pay with our flesh and bone.
**[14:47] Ichi**
What are you trying to say?
**[14:50] Aka**
Let's cut it down to one tenth.
**[14:52] Aka**
Right now, I have 50,000 and
you have 100,000 points.
**[14:55] Aka**
Let's cut these down to 5,000
and 10,000 and start over.
**[15:00] Nan**
What?!
**[15:02] Nan**
You just managed to get yourself up
to 50,000 points and into the clear!
**[15:06] Nan**
Why would you do something that risky?
**[15:08] Cop**
No, this could actually be interesting.
**[15:10] Cop**
Ichikawa has 100,000 points.
**[15:12] Cop**
It would be basically
impossible to make him bust.
**[15:17] Cop**
Looking at it that way,
it's not a bad idea to gamble.
**[15:19] Cop**
The bigger problem is getting
Ichikawa to accept this term.
**[15:25] Ichi**
I refuse.
**[15:27] Ichi**
I would refuse even if you
had as many points as I do.
**[15:33] Ichi**
I won't do anything that would lower my
chances of winning by even a single percent.
**[15:39] Aka**
Fine, then. You stubborn old fart.
**[15:43] Aka**
Looks like I'll have to force the issue.
**[15:47] Cop**
*I can tell this kid's up to no good again.*
**[15:52] Cop**
*What's he going to do now?*
**[15:57] Nar**
Akagi is still on his dealer streak.
**[15:59] Nar**
As always, the game flows in his favor.
**[16:02] Nar**
On the ninth turn, he's in tenpai.
**[16:07] Cop**
*He's got two choices.*
**[16:08] Cop**
* He could go for the south wind*
* hell wait, or 6 or 9 of characters.*
**[16:13] Cop**
* But he's already confirmed that*
* single hell waits aren't effective.*
**[16:17] Cop**
* And his discards are a dead*
* giveaway that he's after a honitsu.*
**[16:21] Cop**
*A south wind wait would be meaningless.*
**[16:25] Cop**
* It's nothing special, but right*
* now, he's got no other option.*
**[16:29] Man**
Riichi!
**[16:34] Nar**
Then, on Akagi's turn...
**[16:36] Nar**
He doesn't chase it.
**[16:37] Nar**
He simply discards the tile he drew.
**[16:39] Nar**
In the 12th turn, the player before him
**[16:42] Nar**
discards a 6 of characters.
**[16:44] Nar**
This is Akagi's winning tile.
**[16:46] Nar**
However, Akagi does not win.
**[16:48] Aka**
Chi.
**[16:49] Nar**
He makes his move.
**[16:51] Nar**
He calls the 6 of characters
and discards the 9,
**[16:54] Nar**
switching his winning tile,
but giving up a ron win.
**[16:56] Nar**
Initially, this call seems meaningless,
**[16:58] Nar**
but it marks the beginning of
Akagi's hunt for Ichikawa...
**[17:01] Boss**
Hold it.
**[17:02] Boss**
You can't do that.
**[17:03] Aka**
Huh?
**[17:04] Boss**
You can't call a 6 of
characters and discard a 9.
**[17:06] Boss**
We don't accept switch-ups like those.
**[17:08] Boss**
Put it back.
**[17:11] Nar**
Akagi is uncharacteristically accommodating.
**[17:14] Nar**
He puts the discarded 9
**[17:15] Nar**
and the revealed 7 and 8
back into his hand,
**[17:18] Nar**
and returns the 6 he had
called to the discard pile.
**[17:21] Nar**
He then draws a new tile...
**[17:22] Nar**
and discards that tile immediately.
**[17:27] Cop**
*I get it.*
**[17:29] Cop**
*Now I see what he's getting at.*
**[17:31] Cop**
* He only pretended to not*
* know about that rule,*
**[17:33] Cop**
*and that in itself is the trap.*
**[17:35] Cop**
* Since he can still call on tiles,*
* it means he's not in tenpai.*
**[17:38] Cop**
* The 6 he called and the 9 he*
* discarded, at least, will seem safe.*
**[17:44] Cop**
* He wanted to emphasize*
* that these tiles are safe*
**[17:47] Cop**
* and something this elaborate would*
* be enough to fool most people.*
**[17:52] Cop**
*Probably even Ichikawa is no exception.*
**[17:56] Nar**
No.
**[17:59] Nar**
Ichikawa saw through it.
**[18:02] Ichi**
* You're a sly little monkey who*
* likes to use dirty tricks.*
**[18:07] Ichi**
* But that trick's been*
* around for a long time.*
**[18:11] Ichi**
*I can't discard this 9 of characters.*
**[18:13] Ichi**
*It's the most dangerous tile.*
**[18:16] Ichi**
*Which means that...*
**[18:17] Ichi**
*The safest tile is...*
**[18:23] Ichi**
*The west wind.*
**[18:25] Ichi**
*The fourth west wind.*
**[18:27] Ichi**
*This is 100% safe.*
**[18:29] Ichi**
*I have to stay on the defensive.*
**[18:36] Aka**
That's it, old man.
**[18:41] Ichi**
*I-Impossible...*
**[18:43] Ichi**
* This was supposed to*
* be the fourth west wind.*
**[18:45] Ichi**
*That can't happen!*
**[18:48] Ichi**
*Is it really a west wind?!*
**[18:50] Boss**
Y-Yes!
**[18:57] Cop**
*H-How did he...*
**[18:59] Cop**
* I'm sitting right behind him*
* and I still don't understand.*
**[19:02] Cop**
* Until a second ago, he was*
* waiting on a 6 and 9 of characters.*
**[19:07] Cop**
*That's it!*
**[19:08] Cop**
* He switched the west wind*
* with the 9 of characters!*
**[19:11] Cop**
*He filched it after that call.*
**[19:13] Cop**
*When he was returning the tiles.*
**[19:19] Cop**
*He's insane!*
**[19:21] Cop**
* Is this what he meant*
* by forcing the issue?!*
**[19:25] Cop**
*I can't believe this guy...*
**[19:28] Ichi**
*It's not possible.*
**[19:30] Ichi**
*I dealt the fourth west wind.*
**[19:33] Ichi**
* Unless he had a kokushi musou,*
* that tile was 100% safe.*
**[19:36] Ichi**
* Which means he pulled that tile*
* from somewhere in the discard pile.*
**[19:42] Ichi**
*He got me.*
**[19:44] Ichi**
* We have no way to stop*
* him from doing this.*
**[19:48] Ichi**
* The longer the match goes on,*
* the worse my position gets.*
**[19:51] Ichi**
*So that's his game.*
**[19:53] Aka**
What do you say, Ichikawa-san?
**[19:55] Aka**
Will you accept my proposal?
**[20:00] Ichi**
Fine.
**[20:01] Ichi**
I accept.
**[20:03] Boss**
Ichikawa...
**[20:05] Ichi**
* I'll make you regret cheating*
* against me... Akagi.*
**[20:12] Aka**
That's the spirit. I knew you'd
understand, Ichikawa-san.
**[20:18] Cop**
*He got his way in the end.*
**[20:22] Cop**
*He really is ruthless.*
**[20:24] Cop**
*At this point, I can't even be appalled.*
**[20:26] Cop**
*I can only admire his natural talent*
**[20:28] Cop**
* that allowed him to execute*
* this so masterfully.*
**[20:32] Nar**
The points are cut to one tenth.
**[20:34] Nar**
Akagi goes from 68,000 to 6,800.
**[20:38] Nar**
Ichikawa goes from 81,700 to 8,100.
**[20:42] Nar**
They are now both under 10,000 points.
**[20:45] Nar**
The game can now be settled in one blow.
**[20:50] Nar**
It was Akagi's talent that
created these conditions.
**[20:54] Nar**
That's right.
**[20:55] Nar**
Akagi's true nature,
which is undoubtedly evil.
**[21:02] Nar**
Evil of the highest and purest grade.
**[21:07] Nar**
A picaro.
