Akagi

The 2nd session is over with Akagi's victory by baiting Iwao into dealing his winning tile allowing Akagi to "head bump". Akagi then explains the long process to Yasuoka and Ohgi, of how he managed to win in such a disadvantaged situation. Due the prior conditions, Iwao has a chance to back out of the match but will he take it?

The 2nd session of Washizu Mahjong reaches its climax, as Suzuki receives the decisive "Xia" tile and everyone foresees Akagi's demise, except Akagi himself. Akagi eventually manages to deal his Xia tile and go into "Ten Pai". Even so Akagi knows that he is at a great disadvantage because he's on a single wait for a "1 Man"; on the other hand Iwao has a large number of possibilities in getting a "Hane Man" to overtake Akagi.

Well into the 2nd session Akagi causes a massive upset to Iwao and has a chance to transfuse his lost blood but yet again he refuses, just to focus on taking Iwao's money. Nonetheless Akagi picks up the momentum and begins to dominate this session but when it comes to the final round, there's a single tile that proves to be a major obstacle.

After patiently waiting for an opportunity to arise, Iwao lets down his guard giving Akagi a chance to strike by calling a Tong, Chun, 1 Man and is looks to be in Ten Pai but will this bluff pass? Onto the 2nd sessions and Akagi goes into it without transfusing the 600cc of blood back into his body. What could he possibly be thinking?

The Washizu Mahjong death match between between Akagi and Iwao continues and Akagi managed to gain some ground with his "Tan Yao Dora 1". But Akagi is still in danger unless he outranks Iawao, by the Han Chan session. He must find a way to outwit Iwao before his luck runs out.

The game of Washizu Mahjong has begun, where Akagi wagers 2,000cc of his own blood and Iwao Washizu wagers of his entire 500 million fortune. Akagi starts of by playing defensively to gain points but he soon learns that this tactic won't work in Washizu Mahjong. The harsh reality of this game, surfaces.

The gruesome Mahjong game between Iwao Washizu and Akagi is about to begin and with all the house rules put in place this could easily become a death match. However Akagi is not satisfied with the 20 million wager and request that Iwao increases it, tenfold. But it will take a lot to convince Iwao.

After saving Akagi from a meaningless death, Yasuoka and Ohgi want to put him up against monster whose been causing the recent string of mysterious deaths, in a high stakes game. The monster that he will go up against is Iwao Washizu and his background is revealed. After spending two weeks with the Inaba group Akagi finally receives the call for the match worth 20 million but there seems to be some frightening house rules put in place.

The Summer of 1965 is the date that marks the beginning. A young man's buried corpse was discovered in the Tama Mountains, with his death caused by shocked induced blood loss. The body is later identified by Yasuoka as Yukio Hirayama (Fake Akagi) and Yasuoka already has a thought lingering in his mind and decides to search for Akagi with his acquaintance Ohgi. At the same time, Akagi is at the Kurata group gambling house and he seems to have gotten himself in trouble.

Akagi leaves the table on a single wait, after anticipating his win and everyone, especially Urabe, is astonished by his bold statement. To everyone's surprise Urabe did deal into Akagi's hand and he won by "Hai Tei (Dora 4)", but the Kawada boss calls him back later to find out how Akagi knew he would win.

The Mahjong match between Urabe and Akagi continues and Akagi is planning to finish this with a big hand. Luck also seems be on Akagi's side, as coincidence after coincidence keeps on occurring.

The Mahjong match between Urabe and the fake Akagi has been dragged on for long and the wager is now at 32 million. The boss of the Kawada group now realizes that the fake Akagi is missing something fundamental for a gambler and wants the real Akagi to play for him. However Akagi will only play under one condition and that is if Osamu plays first.

Akagi wagers his lifeblood, Washizu his money in this crazed match of Washizu Mahjong. In the East Hand 4 of Game 1, Washizu wins a mangan hand with tsumo and two doras. Akagi pays 4,000 points and the bonus payment of 400cc of blood are drawn. This was the first time blood was drawn in Washizu's vampire mahjong.

Once there was a man said to be "The Legendary Mahjong Player". His name was Akagi Shigeru. His genius was awakened the first time he played, leading him to defeat a rep player for the yakuza that night. After that night, he went on to defeat player after player, shaking up the entire underworld.
