Under the description of Restricted Rock, Paper, Scissors, the final line states that the stars are unofficially traded at a value of one or two million. In the anime, Kitami offers Kaiji a star for five million. He also claims that this price is only one million more than official price. It would be ridiculous for the officials to buy the stars at such a high price if the players were trading them for one or two million. Does any one have the manga so they can check this rather suspicious fact? 148.85.201.136 04:03, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
Given all the sources claim the manga title is actually Tobaku Mokushiroku Kaiji, and the tv series is just Kaiji, this article really should be moved to Tobaku Mokushiroku Kaiji. Per the manual of style for anime and manga, the title of the article should reflect the original version. Also, the article should discuss the original version first, followed by any adaptations; I've rewritten the lead to reflect this. — Quasirandom ( talk) 01:13, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
I've noticed a couple of times that the length and status of the Kaiji manga have been updated but then later reverted citing Anime News Network as a source, which lists it as ended in 1999 at 13 volumes.
ANN's listing is incorrect and out of date - the Kaiji manga is still currently running, and the 38th volume was released in tankoubon form on the 28th of December, 2007. Midshift ( talk) 13:50, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
Also, omake at the end of EPISODE 26 from Fukumoto himself states interest in a second anime series, obviously covering the second manga series, and is likely to also span 26 episodes, although no further information has been released. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.215.251.166 ( talk) 09:16, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
"The minimum wager was 1 millimetre and the maximum 10 millimetres"
Kaiji bets 18 mm in the last two matches though, this should be fixed I think. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.100.193.10 ( talk) 07:21, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
During most of the game it was. However, near the end Kaiji asked if he could bet more, and Kazutaka allowed it in hopes of seeing a new form of death. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.186.210.168 ( talk) 23:54, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
"Tobaku Mokushiroku Kaiji" is an incorrect name for the anthology known as "Kaiji", since each of the Kaiji series go by a different name - series II isn't called Gambling Apocalypse, for example. And if there is ever going to be a season II of the anime it probably won't be called "Ultimate Survivor" either, it'll have a different title. So, we should just return the page's introduction name to just "Kaiji" and note that it includes three different manga serials with different names. Terek ( talk) 08:33, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
I'm not much for editing articles, but there's word on the street about a Live Action movie being made in Japan source

So, is there going to be a separate article for the movie (thats already been released)??? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 123.243.30.245 ( talk) 12:54, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

This article pretty much spoils everything that happens in Kaiji. I'm too lazy to change it, but it should just give general information, not say when and how Kaiji wins/loses and what the rewards/consequences are. -- 67.225.12.96 ( talk) 07:28, 29 August 2011 (UTC)
Why are all the air dates off by one day compared to the source? For example the source says episode 1 aired April 5, but in the article it reads April 6. -- Mika1h ( talk) 12:08, 16 October 2011 (UTC)
It seems more chapters are out yet this page is really lagging behind, if possible, someone translate the Japanese version as it seems to have recent informations. OussDB ( talk) 00:45, 15 April 2016 (UTC)
I propose to create a separate article for Mr. Tonegawa: Middle Management Blues and move the Episodes to that page. I believe it is a different series and although it is a spin-off, it has its own website TVアニメ「中間管理録トネガワ」公式サイト. I'm quite happy if someone else wants to do this.
