Gambling Apocalypse Kaiji
Tobaku Mokushiroku Kaiji
Kaiji is a small-time crook who makes his living stealing car emblems and slashing tires. His dead-end routine gets interrupted when a debt collector named Endou shows up at his door. Turns out Kaiji co-signed a loan for a coworker named Takeshi years ago, and when Takeshi bailed, the debt landed on him. What started as a 30,000 yen loan has ballooned to 3.85 million yen with interest. Endou offers Kaiji a way out: board a gambling ship with other debtors in similar situations. The setup is straightforward—they'll gamble using money loaned to them, winners walk away clean while losers dig themselves even deeper and end up working off their debt. After some pressure, Kaiji agrees to get on the boat, figuring it's his best shot at clearing his name and maybe making some cash in the process.
