- Citas
Yukio Tonegawa: A Slave... why? Didn't you swap it before the blood sprayed on it?
Kaiji Ito: Sorry, but no. All I did was pull the face down Citizen and Slave cards close to me, then put a Citizen card over one, only to pull it back. In other words, I only pretended to swap.
Rinko Endo: He didn't swap them?
Yukio Tonegawa: Impossible! HOW COULD THIS BE POSSIBLE? WHY, WHY DIDN'T YOU SWAP THEM?
Kaiji Ito: That's easy. Because I had faith.
Yukio Tonegawa: Faith?
Kaiji Ito: Clearly, you're brilliant. Out of anyone I've ever met, you have the sharpest mind.
[holds up a blood-stained card]
Kaiji Ito: A man like you... would never fail to notice this blood. Of course you'd notice. And when you do, you'd be suspicious. You'd scrutinize it, realize it's a scheme and see through my plan.
[slams the card down on the table]
Kaiji Ito: YOU HAVE TO, BECAUSE YOU'RE SMART! That's why you'd be suspicious, and would recall how I'd swapped cards on the ship, and that I had the chance here. Then you'd snicker... how foolish I am. You'd be completely convinced. And why not? After all, your opponent is trash compared to someone like you. TRASH! You'd gloat. Because you're superior. NO TRASH HAS EVER COME CLOSE TO BEATING YOU. SO I USED YOUR ARROGANT SUPERIORITY AGAINST YOU! AND THIS PATHETIC SLAVE BEAT YOU!

Kaiji: The Ultimate Gambler (2009) examines the languor of Japanese consumer culture: work, devour, and squander your verve in an everlasting cycle of mass suppression that upholds the lower-class/upper-class divide. This regimented Metropolis style nightmare comes to fruition in the symbolic utopian underground kingdom that blue-collar slave workers must construct for aristocratic city-dwellers. The languid masses march in union, take showers together and buy beer and munchies with their meagre pay to nullify and distract themselves from their authoritarianism. The moral at the heart of Kaiji is simple: if you want to achieve your dreams in this hum/drum existence, you have to wake up, fight, and live recklessly. Would you be willing to walk across an electrified beam between two skyscrapers to pay off your debts while superficial business executives watch you on television screens? If you want to rise above your own worthless comatose lifestyle, why not take up the challenge, you could win lots of money because that is what Brave Men Road is all about, or is it Verdict: This riveting Battle Royale intoned masterpiece is made with nail-biting suspense, brain-teasing intelligence and mind-blowing wit:-
