He said to take care of it
So I guess there will be a time to use it later?
Other than on this
We'll probably be doing casino games
Right! That's when we will use this
You're probably right
Placing bets...
Wouldn't want to be broke, then
You're right
Ah, Tanaka, there was a rumor about you
A backstage robbery
Eh?
Backstage thief
You can't be serious!
I did no such thing
No, there was this one time...
Where a security camera caught a glimpse of...
Hold on. That's absurd!
Come on!
What the hell!
That never happened!
What did they catch a glimpse of?
Ouch!
Those are some scary accusations
They couldn't say for certain it was Tanaka...
It can't have been me
No, I'm telling you...
Just keep telling us those lies
From this year on, I'll seriously come punch you
You'll come punch him...
Can you please stop?
What are you saying?
That's going too far
Go punch him?
What a slap
They got a direct hit to my exposed back!
Can we please stop?
This has nothing to do with anything
Yeah
Stealing money, violence...
We're talking about nothing but illegal activities
Right right
This isn't happy at all
Can I butt in for a moment?
At this time
We usually do the drawers
I forgot
Ah!
There's no reason not to, right?
Shall we get to pulling?
Shall we start?
Should we start with Tanaka?
We usually start with me
That's right. You wanna go?
Yes
Sure
This year's top batter is Tanaka
Ahh, here we go again...
Yep, it's a DVD
It's a DVD pretty much every year
I noticed the DVD player right away...
DVD Player
Oh, right!
Here I go
Nothing
Eh?
Nothing?
What, nothing?
Yep
Nothing!!
Nothing?
Tanaka's desk is completely empty
There's nothing here!
Could they be empty today?
Maybe they're empty this time!
This year
Open yours, Matsumoto
They might all be empty this year
I see
Maybe
Nothing!!
For real!?
But isn't that okay? Changing it up a bit
But then it'll be scary if I'm the only one
Well, well
Ah, damnit! There's something here...
There's a letter there
Mysterious envelope
This is different
Hmm?
Chance to get a funny item
1,000 Heipo Gacha, anyone can try
T/N: The original meaning of gacha is those machines where you put in coins, turn the knob, and you get a random prize.
Ah, this letter isn't really specifically for me
It's this, isn't it?
This is just the instructions for the funny item gacha
Well then, Matsumoto should be the first one to try, right?
But I just used 1,000 Heipo on a cup of water
You still have a lot there
I'm the only one using up 2,000 Heipo?
We'll do it afterwards
Yes, we're doing it too
We'll watch you, then do it
We all will
Yes
Yes, yes, yes
Huh!?
Then I turn this?
Yeah
Here!!
H-here!
You put it here!
Ah, you poor thing!
You have to pay another 1,000 Heipo
What a waste!
Wrong place
You have to pay another 1,000 Heipo!
Why are you laughing?
Ah, it doesn't go in the money box
Of course it doesn't
People messing up tickles him the most
That's my least favorite laugh
I too dislike that laugh
The way he said "Ah, you poor thing!"
He's really laughing
Isn't that messed up?
That was something
Right!?
I was laughing because Hamada couldn't hold himself
Why?
The way he went "Heee!" from "you poor thing!"
That was funny?
Yeah, tat was fenny
That's ridiculous!
This instruction letter is screwed up! Write it properly!
Of course we'd use the box!!
That might be...
Nothing we can do about that now, you have to put it in here
You have no choice, but to use another 1,000 Heipo
You might win more money later on
I'm the only one going bankrupt here
But it says to insert money right here
You can't be serious...
Here, right?
Right. See there it goes!
It really went in there
That's right
It went in like zoom!
Then
I wonder what it is
It'll be an item, right?
It's an item
Going by the gold color it must be something good
It looks good
Is it usable?
Key number 5
It's like this, huh
I see!
So that's where the keys are
Numbered lockers
There's a lot of them
This makes it all so much more cumbersome...
You pay, then get to open a locker
Who gets to open what is completely random
You're right
I don't like this...
Is it something good?
Funny glasses
"With these even you can widen your view"
Even if he uses them on us...
We don't know if they will be favorable or not
Indeed
Right
"Widen my view"?
You noticed quickly, Yama-chan
So that's how it's gonna be, huh
Your eyes are wide open
Is my view really widened by these?
My view hasn't widened at all
Maybe let Hamada try?
They might work wonders for him
These could be intended for Hamada
No no no
If Hamada isn't funny with them on then...
They won't work for any of us
What the...
The mouth
Hamada...
Your mouth
Incredible
This guy's strong
Really strong
Intense power
Proper power combo
Super power
Straight home-run
Proper home-run
Well, these are Matsumoto's...
Why doesn't someone else give it a shot?
Since there's only so many items
Tanaka, try it!!
I was just about to
I wonder what it will be this time?
That's right
It's obviously for the lockers
It's certainly a key I think
Yup
It's number two
Key number 2
Number two?
Yes
Hmm.. The lockers are all the same size so...
They are
Five then two
Huge!!
There it is
It looks pretty big
Looks big? It IS big
Real-mask set
Eh? He gets this again?
Looks like a changing room over there
Yes yes yes
"Wear this and even you can become the celebrity of your dreams"
"The celebrity of your dreams"?
Excuse me for a minute
That guy always gets the masks
He's gotten masks before, right
I'm ready!!
Okay!
We're ready!
T/N: Hiroshi Fujioka is an actor who is famous for his roles in Kamen Rider, Japanese historical dramas, and other dramas.
Hiroshi Fujioka, realistic version
Funny mask
That's terrifying!!
The head's too big, but it looks just like Fujioka!
That's amazing!
Amazing!
That's amazing. It's really Fujioka!
He often has that exact expression too
Morning!
Mornin'
The mouth moves too?
Ah, the mouth moves
Yup
This is unbelievable...
Sing the theme song to Kamen Rider
Here they come, Shocker. The army of hell
The mouth moves funny
That's amazing!
There are no seams
Good stuff!
Why do you always get masks, Tanaka
Rather than a seam...
Ah, I see. It goes all the way down
It's just like Fujioka is really here
You're right! It is kinda uncanny
Uncanny!
Do the transformation
Transformation
Transform!!
You're so annoying!
It's really a great rendition of Fujioka
Quality work right there
Quality work indeed
Are you going next, Endo?
Let's give it a try
Hosei or me is fine too
I'll change
Okay!
Here I go
Must be a hassle to get out of...
Probably from the back
You too might have to go in there
Ah, yeah
Or maybe you can do it on the spot
The money system is really thoroughly made
It's black
Number 16
Key number 16
No way
I see
This is really well done
There's so much skin on his neck
Yeah
Oh? The thing I've got
Doesn't seem to be a mask or anything
It's written here
Funny ball
"Throw it against the wall to relieve your stress?"
Relieve...
What's that?
Funny ball?
Looks like a normal ball to me
What's that?
It's me again!?
Don't hold it like that!
That's so unfair!
So handsome
You're right
He is
What the hell is that? Stress relief?
It says...
It says "throw it on the wall"
Throw it against the wall to relieve your stress
Funny Ball:
To relieve your stress?
The hell is that?
That's impressive
It's really squishy
Look how squishy it is
What happens if I throw it?
You'll relieve your stress
Where should I throw it?
How about the floor instead?
To be honest, I don't really feel like doing it
It's fine
Alright, I'm sorry then, it's to relieve some stress
You can't throw it like that, geez
That was so strong
But it's for my stress...
The top of his head hit the floor first
It didn't bounce
Not at all
You're right
It doesn't bounce
Oh, is that so?
It just smashed on the ground
Don't press it like that
Don't press my forehead that much
Quit it
Don't do that
What are you doing?
It's an anti-slip device, like that
Exactly
That won't help you relieve your stress
You have to throw it
It'll damage the furniture
No no, I think this is taking it too far
Oh, because it'll hurt Hamada
You just laughed
Who?
The furniture will be fine, but Hamada is gonna get hurt
Don't squish its chin
Don't say it like that
That's incredible
It's really well made
Whoa, check that out
Whoa, wait a second,
what are you doing?!
It came off
Its chin came off
Hamada-san?
Whoa, check this out
It looks like Attack on Titan
It broke
Don't you feel bad for Hamada?
Look at this
But you almost fixed it
He's got a protruding chin now
It's a protruding chin
You're right
It's a new chin for him
Oh, but...
We can restore it, look
It's not restored at all!!
Come on...
This is impressive
We should stop playing with it
Yeah, I mean
Now that you tore it apart we can't use it!
Right
Let's just place it over there
You should feel sorry
Here we are
Hamada-san, do you want to go next?
I completely forgot about it!
That's right!
Right?
Me too
It could be empty, who knows
I completely forgot too
It's full of stuff
No way
It's suddenly full of stuff
Check the other ones
This one was kinda opened
But they're empty
I got some DVDs on my drawer
Two of them
Could it be...?
Mysterious DVD & envelope
It could be a new pattern
No way, man
We can't possibly know what's on it
It could be
What's this?
What's that? Rock-paper-scissor?
Is that it?
Ah!
Mysterious rock-paper-scissors cards
Isn't that the game from Kaiji?
T/N: This is a reference from the anime, Kaiji: Ultimate Survivor.
Is it?
Kaiji?
Right?
I remember it
It's that psychological game
It's Tanaka who gets DVDs, usually
That's right
Yeah, but it's not a set rule
Well, true
Of course it's not
Yukio Tonegawa
T/N: Yukio Tonegawa is a character from Kaiji who is in charge of many of the gambling events throughout the anime.
Yukio Tonegawa
See?
It's Kaiji
It is
You're the worst scum in showbiz
T/N: Setagaya is a very posh neighborhood in Tokyo where Hamada presumably lives.
The lowest in Setagaya! Masatoshi Hamada
You got older and lost your hopes and dreams
For you, who is living as if you're already dead,
I'll grant you a once in a lifetime chance!
What now!?
From now on,
You'll take part in a game our Teiai Group came up with
T/N: Teiai Group is a fictional company from Kaiji that pretends to be a consulting firm while forcing people into debt and putting them in gambling events or labor camps.
And that will be...
Restricted Rock, Paper, Scissors
What does it mean?
Restricted Rock, Paper, Scissors
Even an idiot like you can understand its rules
He's badmouthing me so much!
Because they're very simple!
Yeah, he's foul
Rules
Play rock-paper-scissors in a single duel with your opponent
You have some rock-paper-scissors card with you
You just challenge your opponent with those in a single duel
I see
"Win" or "Tie" will grant you a deluxe item!
If you win
Or even if it's tie, you'll win
That's nice!
Right
You'll even get a deluxe prize! You have the best odds
However!
If you happen to lose...
T/N: All the "zawa" sounds in the background is a famous characteristic of Kaiji. It's a mimetic word for "sending chills down your spine".
You'll get a Thai kick!!
Is that what it's all about!?
It's Hamada's turn now?
And your opponent for this game is going to be...
Another person who's full of debt towards our society
Another scum among the scums!
Make sure to entertain us
Alright, enter the room, Hamada's opponent!
It's Mr. Thai Kick
Mr. Thai Kick...
Yes, this man too
Has a huge debt piled up for the Teian Group
Pachinko! Horse racing! Boat races! And even underground casinos!
He's wearing Kaiji's clothes
He tried every possible form of gambling!
Without even looking for a job
He spent everyday drinking Thai beer alone!
A man ready to eat his Tom Yum Kung without paying for it...
T/N: Tom Yum Kung is a popular Thai soup.
The worst kind of scum, from Thailand's slums...
Thaiji!
Of course
There's no need to say all of that!
I saw a scene like this with you, before
T/N: In the Treasure Hunter Batsu, Tanaka battled Thai Kick in a card game.
That's right
That time he got me, but you have to win!
See? There's that guy again
That's right
Game Master
Ralph Suzuki
But you can win
Right, you're most likely to win here
Even a tie will do it
Alright,
Hamada-sama, pick a card and place it here
You can do it!!
Do your best
You can do this!
Tanaka doesn't want to see a friend getting Thai kicked
Of course not
Last time I lost
Please, avenge me!
I don't want to do this...
Alright, gentlemen, let's get this match started
Thaiji vs Hamada
Restricted Rock-Paper-Scissors Battle
Sure
But in that very moment, Tonegawa, the game organizer,
Had some conflicts inside his mind
Hm? Wait...
If Thaiji is going to win...
Then we'll have to Thai kick this guy's butt...
But I'm sure...
This guy knows a bunch of criminals, he's the "Criminal Comedian"
If we'd Thai kick this guy's butt...
It could lead to an all-out war betwen our group and his gang
It's clear it's going to bring us lots of trouble! We can't have that
To Thai kick Hamada, the Criminal Comedian's butt...
Is way too risky for us...
I know! Maybe we should do as usual...
And choose Tanaka instead!
Why the hell!?
No
That guy's reactions are so scripted, he's such a big liar
He's only doing this good guy charade, but he's such a douche
Let's not do that
Right
Nice!!
It's not you?
Nice nice!
How about his partner, Endo?
No way, why me!?
Endo-san!
No way, no way! Endo is too weak
His impact on TV is nonexistent!
I never even see any news about him anywhere
Stereotyped! No charm! Zero TV impact!
Tonegawa realized how terribly useless Cocorico is
And even Thaiji could smell from Cocorico
The same stench of uselessness that he himself has
That's rude, Thaiji
He said too much...
What's gonna happen!?
I have no clue
We didn't even laugh
It's not something to laugh about
No way we're gonna laugh at that, of course
Really?
Then what...?
So?
I guess we'll have to do Hosei, then...
No, wait
This guy acts like a cultured man ever since becoming a Rakugo-ka
I've heard it's such a hassle to deal with him
Any entertainers who start acting cultured are just troublesome
A loathed man who is avoided by the young ones in the dressing room!!
Wish he'd hurry making up his mind
In that case, the remaining one is?
The remaining one is Matsumoto...
Here we go
Indeed if I choose Matsumoto to do this
The audiences will have higher expectations than those 4 small fry
But the problem is...
The show producer may get yelled at...
Whatever, this is for the sake of viewer rating
As if I'll yell at the guy!
No way I'll yell at him!
We'll have the producer get down on his knees and apologize for the greater good
Yeah! And this is part of his job anyway
Oh no
That makes sense
No wait!
If the producer leaks to magazines about having to apologize on his knees
That would be the end of this show...
That'd be bad!
Eh!?
Is it coming back to me again?
Change the plan!
He decided!?
Yo Hamada! Switch with Tanaka!!
What?
Yo Hamada! Switch with Tanaka!!
Yaaaaay!!
Wait a minute
What is even happening!!
Scared me
No no no no no no
After all that circling around Hamada and then this
This should be Hamada in the end, it should!
He says switch
That was close
Just do it
This is a joke right!?
This is quite good, I have no regret getting my butt spanked
No, not happening!! This is not happening!!
But this is all settled
You're too worried
Too late
This is already decided
Let's go, let's go
Mr. Tanaka please be seated here
Yes
Hurry hurry
You lost last time so just go
Uhmm ...
We will cheer you up big time
Please lend me strength, all your strength!!
Ok ok ok ok
Please lend me strength, all your strength!!
Yup
Of course
I don't want to always be the one to get Thai kicked every single year!!
Yeah yeah yeah
That's right
It's getting harder and harder for him to come up with reactions
That's right
I don't know if I should call it a reaction or what
Thaiji vs Tanaka
Restricted Rock-Paper-Scissors Battle
Now, to continue where we left off,
We will start the Restricted Rock-Paper-Scissors
Both players
Please decide which card you would like to use
This is it
First, Thaiji
He goes first
So he goes first
Next, Mr Tanaka
Are you okay with your decisions?
Okay, now
To prevent any cheating,
I will personally reveal the cards
I see
Now, let's begin
Card reveal
A sudden power outage
What happened?
Wait, what?
It's a power outage
Power Outage
Oh my
It's a power outage
Please
Wait a moment
Hey
This looks like happens a lot
Rustle
This kind of timing,a power outage, for real?
Rustle
This kind of timing, a power outage, for real?
Kinda long
This is
Quite long indeed
Bump
Rattle rattle
Amazing that it gets this dark
Rattle rattle
Amazing that it gets this dark
I can't see a thing
Can't see anything
Nothing can be seen
Really can't see anything
Nothing can be seen
Really can't see anything
This is so long
Indeed long
Power restored
The power has been restored
This is crazy
Why'd you hide this
Apology, the power has been restored
Why'd you hide this
Wait
Wait, this
This is clearly...
But still, we don't know what happened
Yup, we don't know
I will personally reveal the cards
To prevent any cheating,
Card Reveal
Tanaka
Thaiji
You lost
Winner Thaiji!!
Okay we all saw what happened here, right?
This is just too much
Why what happened?
I do not accept it
You lost it
But you lost
Not happening
Explain what you are trying to say
No no no, because you all saw it
The outage was suspicious
And after the outage, what on earth were those weird goggles
No idea
These?
These!
Look
Well, that...
He was wearing these
Thai Kick-san
It does looks like it...
Not even trying to hide his cheating
And that's why I lost
But I didn't hear any noise
I heard it!!
Rattle rattle rattle rattle rustle rustle rustle rustle
"What is going on?" I wondered
It lasts forever
At least try not to be so noisy
Rattle rattle rustle rustle rustle rustle
Just let it go
It's time for the Thai Kick
Nope
Come on, no "Nope"
Don't think you can talk this out
Nope, Not happening
Stop being a baby, we can't watch this anymore
Alright! I got you
Since you put it that way, I will give one last chance
Yo! Bring it out!
What
This may just be what you were hoping for
Eh what!?
This is too kind for him...
A die?
Roll this die, if the result is SAFE
I will cancel the Thai kick for you
That's so kind
Take a good look at this die
5 sides are labeled SAFE and only 1 side is Thai kick
Wow that's lucky
There are no other dice in this world that could be nicer to you
So no excuse for what comes out of it
Yup, makes sense
Okay Ralph, for the fairness of this game
You roll the die!!
Oh that's good
Okay, please be seated
This is just so lucky
There is no cheating or trick to it
What are you doing?
I need to, need to just see it a little bit
What are you even talking about
To make sure there is no cheating in this
There isn't any
Alright
Yes
Everything comes down to this die
Okay
Counting on you
The chance is 1 in 6
Thai kick die
For the sake of fairness, I will roll the die
Okay
We are counting on you
Now, let's begin
SAFE Thai kick avoided
Oh!
SAFE!
Okay!
Okay?
It is okay right?
Yup
Yes
Thank you very...
Well, nothing can be done now
So this is something that could happen huh
This so cool
I didn't know that
I just saw all that happen
This is something that may happen
So cool
I honestly thought Ralph made a boo boo there
Yeah yeah me too
True
Wait wait really really!?
Stay still
Stop twitching, you'll hurt somebody
It's really dangerous
Careful
Ahhhh!!
Aa~ haa!! It hurts!!
Ahhhh!! Hurts!!
He's doing it, he's doing it
Doing it as always
Ohh I can't watch this anymore
Can we have a power outage now
Ouch ouch ouch
Ahhh it hurts
Ahhhh
He is actually smiling
He's doing it, he's doing it
7 hours past
It's been 7 hours since everything started,
The five will now go into the casino for their fortune
Okay everyone
Finally time to win a fortune at the casino
Yeah
Finally, oh my God
This is a special chance to win big
Here we go
This way
Hm?
What?
So empty...
Everyone, umm...
Casinos are a place where
Money moves in hundreds of millions every night
To make sure you are not holding weird stuff
SP will give you a body check
Let's go to the body check
Before enjoying the casino
Well trained SP will perform Body Check
Body check?
This way
Everyone please stand in a line
Looks like nobody is here
SP Department Manager
Ken Matsudaira
Oh my God
Scared me
It's actually him
Yeah the real deal
The real deal...
I can't hold myself in front of that
Oh no no, it's because Fujiwara didn't say anything
