[Nobuyuki Fukumoto] The growth curve is strange.

There is no background…! The name is Tetsuo Morita.

1: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx10

I feel that the early setbacks might be due to that.

2: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

Up to elbow height…!

3: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

I love that you can come up with the Golden Bridge gamble on your own.

4: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

He was 20 years old when he first appeared.

5: Japan Otaku Reviews

(How high is the elbow supposed to be…?)

6: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx6

What have you been doing after parting ways with Gin-san?

7: Japan Otaku Reviews

She had too much talent even before her growth, as she won her first challenge against an art dealer.

8: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Morita is modeled after Hisshō Morita, who committed seppuku alongside Yukio Mishima, right?

9: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

The Mahjong player in Seikyou has intense murderous intent, making it extremely entertaining.

I don’t care, I don’t want money, I want to kill.

26: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

>>9

It feels like, while being the kind of talent Gin was looking for, there’s also a sense that the growth level is starting to exceed what Gin had planned from that point onward.

10: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I love the scene in blue sky poker where the stacked cards slide out due to cheating prevention measures.

12: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

>>10

That person explains really well, doesn’t he/she?

Actually… I was allowed to wear a blindfold…

11: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx7

I haven’t seen the background in a while.

13: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

Affordable challengers are lying around here.

As expected, luck is on my side.

14: Japan Otaku Reviews

I guess I must be someone who likes leather jackets influenced by Top Gun.

15: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s Gintama’s fault for the withdrawal…

16: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx8

It is said that being too kind makes it difficult to survive in the underworld, but I was discriminated against…! I believe that only those who have already crossed to the side of madness can endure after seeing that.

17: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Please give me the conclusion where the two of them reunite.

21: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx13

>>17

Mr. Fukumoto was eager to draw once work settled down.

I feel that even if it’s drawn by the current Mr. Fukumoto… it has that vibe.

18: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

It’s sad to encounter a murderer twice.

19: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

I feel like “Gin to Kin” contains most of what Nobuyuki Fukumoto wanted to achieve.

20: Japan Otaku Reviews

I also like the drama version.

23: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>20

Surprisingly, Lily Franky as Gin-san is cool.

22: Japan Otaku Reviews

Considering what might happen in Japan after this, it doesn’t seem like a very good ending even if both of them are together.

24: Japan Otaku Reviews

Massacre

25: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

>>24

I can’t read it.

45: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>25

I wonder if the inability to read this is a generational issue…

27: Japan Otaku Reviews

The girl is still cute.

29: Japan Otaku Reviews

If you think about it normally, of course, they would retire, but it really feels like the author let them retire because they empathized with Morita too much.

36: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>29

It seems like it was folded away after the serialization of Kaiji was confirmed.

30: Japan Otaku Reviews

Which country’s number 2 seemed likely to inherit the assets?

31: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

I like how you throw it onto the table without revealing the true nature of the winning hand you made.

32: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

>>31

Hey… Morita (glancing)

37: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>32

G-gin-san!!

33: Japan Otaku Reviews

Ginji is a character who is surprisingly more flustered than his image suggests.

34: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Just surviving in the battle is already a blessing.

How should I grow to achieve success…?

35: Japan Otaku Reviews

Watching horse racing without Morita makes me feel a sense of emptiness.

43: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx6

>>35

If anything, Gin was half-heartedly trying to lose, leaving it up to fate.

But I ended up winning.

38: Japan Otaku Reviews

I feel like it was the peak time when the power of the painting was at its strongest.

39: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx6

It feels like a continuation, but it’s good that it ends knowing that only destruction remains.

40: Japan Otaku Reviews

In the first speculative battle, bank interest rates come out to be 6% per year.

41: Japan Otaku Reviews

Sosuke Ikematsu was definitely miscast, but he was doing his best; I would have preferred to see Kenta Kiritani instead.

Gin-san is fine with Lyle Franky.

42: Japan Otaku Reviews

So I was planning to come back and fight Gin-san after this, right?

44: Japan Otaku Reviews

Defeat is near…

46: Japan Otaku Reviews

I was discriminated against…!

47: Japan Otaku Reviews

When I didn’t understand the rules of Mahjong, I used to read it haphazardly, but once I figured it out, it became incredibly interesting…

48: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I was discriminated against…

49: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

The charm of taking a life over money is what drew them in as a companion, yet that very reason is what caused them to distance themselves from Gin-san.

50: Japan Otaku Reviews

The contribution to the increase in popularity of mahjong is intense, isn’t it?

51: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx7

In the drama version, Gintoki’s main target was changed to the Tokyo Olympic profits.

The Tokyo Olympics also fell through because of COVID, so in the end, like the original story, destruction awaits, which is beautiful.

52: Japan Otaku Reviews

In pachislot, when you lose at poker, it’s funny how Gin-san quickly turns off the store’s power to save you during the revival scene.

58: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>52

If you don’t coat it with mochi powder…

53: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s different from the main story, but I like how bad acquaintances keep trying to scout Morita when he is in the hospital.

55: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx8

My favorite work by Fukamoto is definitely this one.

56: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

This guy was so good that it almost made Gin-san seriously lose his motivation…

57: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

I’ve always thought it would be great if they could animate it with a quality similar to Kaiji or Akagi.

59: Japan Otaku Reviews

Gin-san is probably being burned by the flames of gambling after that.

60: Japan Otaku Reviews

The pachislot version was faithful to the original.

I heard that in the pachinko version, Morita punches Kunitake and a big win happens, which makes me laugh.

139: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>60

During the special round, the fourth and fifth sons of Kamoi will appear as enemies, shout “Yossha!” while knocking you away, and the special round will continue!

It was just too much…

142: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

>>139

It was really just too much and unacceptable.

143: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

>>139

I was discriminated against…

144: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>139

I laughed.

However, when it comes to certain patterns or intense scenarios in pachinko that don’t exist in the original work, it becomes quite common.

61: Japan Otaku Reviews

I quite like the political part after the Kurauma battle.

67: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>61

It’s great, isn’t it? I think it’s a good work because it’s really interesting even though it has no game elements at all.

62: Japan Otaku Reviews

If we’re going to part ways like that, I think the final confrontation will be Gin-san vs. Morita…

75: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>62

I heard that if it hadn’t been canceled, it was supposed to turn out that way.

63: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

The drama had a nice atmosphere with Ririfura Ikematsu.

64: Japan Otaku Reviews

I hope I can retire peacefully…

Since I’ve distanced myself from Gin-san’s protection, it wouldn’t be strange if Kamui were to erase me.

74: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>64

Even in the underworld, I’ve fulfilled my duty as the bodyguard of the Kamoi family head, and I’ve dealt with the traitor, albeit due to circumstances.

I feel like that’s not the case, even considering the last outburst of mischief.

Rather, there is a route where you are kept alive and then reunite with Gin-san.

65: Japan Otaku Reviews

There aren’t as many places to move around in Ginmori as you might expect.

In the story, some time has passed around the political arc, but…

66: Japan Otaku Reviews

I will become a villain…!

It’s a bit interesting that he dislikes villains.

68: Japan Otaku Reviews

I used to really like that ugly guy who said, “Nobody pays attention to me if I don’t have money…!”

76: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>68

The persuasive power of the idea of the dead and going all in on a stock manipulation battle is incredible.

69: Japan Otaku Reviews

The genius Akagi from the beginning.

At first, he seems like a fool, but Kaiji is strong in a pinch.

At first, he had a limiter, but when he reappeared, he was somehow a strong Ten-san.

Compared to these, at first it’s somewhat weak, but as he gains experience and steadily grows, Morita, who is also strong in critical moments, comes across as a very well-balanced and strong protagonist.

72: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>69

I think this is a little different.

Whether it’s chinchiro, 17 steps, or one parker, until the opponent activates their cheating, I’m genuinely drawing good luck and genuinely gaining an advantage.

83: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>72

Even when seriously injured by a serial killer, Ginsan is exceptionally lucky, avoiding traffic signals in his car on the scene.

100: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>72

In a world where making excuses and relying solely on luck can lead to being taken advantage of, the ability to sense how the opponent is trying to exploit you and come up with countermeasures gives an impression of strength in critical situations.

But it’s true that with just luck, it can be quite strong…

70: Japan Otaku Reviews

It looks fun to take a walk with a lot of money.

71: Japan Otaku Reviews

Is the rich kid from the limitless poker still caught in Kuramae?

78: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>71

They are telling you to contact your dad, so you’re not being kept as a pet.

79: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>71

I think my parents will somehow come up with the money…

73: Japan Otaku Reviews

The idea of creating a rating agency in Japan, as proposed by Gin-san, is impressive.

77: Japan Otaku Reviews

I was discriminated against…

80: Japan Otaku Reviews

Narita~!

Narita~!

81: Japan Otaku Reviews

Kaiji’s level of gambling addiction is severe.

82: Japan Otaku Reviews

The way Gintama’s Gin-san thinks about only contacting me is really helpful.

84: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>82

Are you working as a Yakuza or something?

88: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>82

Are you planning to take organs from a family at rock bottom?

85: Japan Otaku Reviews

The ability to get friendly enough with a dealer to hang out in a hotel lobby with just a few hundred thousand yen on hand.

86: Japan Otaku Reviews

The movie of the pachinko depicts a bit of what happens afterwards.

87: Japan Otaku Reviews

Discrimination… I was discriminated against…!

89: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s undeniably a canceled manga, but that’s what makes it a complete gambling manga.

As long as you keep winning, it’s also the sadness of a gambler that you can’t quit on your own will, right?

90: Japan Otaku Reviews

I was reading while thinking, “No matter how you brace your shoulders, there’s still a chance the knife could stab you in the face, right, Gintoki?”

91: Japan Otaku Reviews

Morita is broke, but older brothers and uncles who are willing to throw money at him keep appearing one after another.

92: Japan Otaku Reviews

I never thought the magazine would turn to ash first…

93: Japan Otaku Reviews

Bringing in a great triple meld in that situation… what incredible luck…

Seikyo Mahjong has such chaotic rules that you don’t even have to think about it.

Die in a place fee.

111: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>93

It’s nice to feel the difference in scale when a former enemy is in a daze.

94: Japan Otaku Reviews

Living off interest is the thinking of the dead…

96: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>94

I just want to live off interest, even if it’s the thinking of the dead!!!

97: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>94

When I read it again, I was surprised by the bank interest, huh?!

Was it really that expensive back then?

95: Japan Otaku Reviews

There were mentions of the number two in a certain country, so there must have been some expectations for the future.

98: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>95

I think it’s mostly about horse racing.

A man whose face looks similar and the background feels just right.

99: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I think the real challenge lies in understanding how to reach a conclusion from that separation, so I can’t help but feel that it’s fine not to draw any of the subsequent works, just draw it.

105: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>99

If you don’t draw the final three volumes of Heaven, I will become distorted.

107: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>105

That place… let me think!!!!

101: Japan Otaku Reviews

What is it now if that was fraud at the interest rates back then?

102: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

>>101

Exploitation

103: Japan Otaku Reviews

A bank offering an interest rate of 6% is a scammer…!

104: Japan Otaku Reviews

If you grab it, squeeze it.

108: Japan Otaku Reviews

Since the horse racing section felt somewhat unsatisfactory, I realized that the capable yet naive Morita was indeed a necessary factor.

110: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>108

I mean, the replacement kid is just too useless.

113: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>110

Rather, it’s too evident that Gin-san wouldn’t be satisfied unless it’s Morita.

But still, if we’re going to do that, we should bring out Morita…

115: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>110

I thought it was going to be a Morita position, but maybe it just falls flat easily.

When I imagine it, I really start to get annoyed about various things like the current Kaiji and the trivial golf.

128: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>108

There’s probably no one who dislikes Morita while reading this manga.

109: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s great how the teammates are shuddering upon realizing that Morita’s timing to leave during the last poker hand was correct.

112: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>109

The art dealer business is one thing, but knowing when to pull back is extraordinarily skillful.

Are you the loser who was saying that horse racing was a load of crap a few months ago?

119: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>112

Once Morita got used to it, he felt a sense of complacency and ended up making mistakes, so he tries not to use the same material. I believe that the tension helps bring out his talent.

So, I feel uncertain about whether I’ve been able to grow to a position where I can be stable like Gintoki (and above).

114: Japan Otaku Reviews

Even though the guys who were with Gin should be seasoned veterans from various battles, they hardly had any good moments.

129: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>114

It was helpful in a stock maneuvering battle, wasn’t it?

131: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>114

But it seems like if it were introduced as “This time’s partner is Mr./Ms. XX…” like in today’s manga, it would get pretty boring.

116: Japan Otaku Reviews

Izawa couldn’t take the world either.

117: Japan Otaku Reviews

Being good at knowing when to step back might mean that Morita’s decision to quit there was a good judgment as well.

122: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>117

As the person said, from here on it will likely be either used up or absorbed…

118: Japan Otaku Reviews

I also like the old version of the drama.

120: Japan Otaku Reviews

But it’s a problem because it’s more than enough experience to break.

121: Japan Otaku Reviews

I really like the theme song of the new drama.

123: Japan Otaku Reviews

Looking back, it was an ethical sense and growth ability that would work even for the protagonist of a shonen manga.

124: Japan Otaku Reviews

A mechanism that allows you to win and grasp the large sums of money that are produced through such hardships.

The amazing thing about this is that you can casually throw it away and move on to the next thing.

You have a sense that cannot be perceived unless you are detached from profit and loss.

125: Japan Otaku Reviews

I wonder how much Morita had when he ultimately retired.

126: Japan Otaku Reviews

Horse racing was good in its own way.

I got goosebumps when Ramutara appeared.

141: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>126

It looked like a duo of Okabe and Tayasu Tsuyoshi, but Ramutara’s true focus was really intense.

Whether Ramutara can handle the Japanese tracks is a bit uncertain, but…

127: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

The kid in horse racing was simply chosen because he looked like Kouno’s son, not because he was discovered like Morita.

130: Japan Otaku Reviews

In the near future, I will buy a country.

We will rule that country together, you and I.

132: Japan Otaku Reviews

In this manga, I wondered if a full house in poker is really that strong.

135: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>132

As a realistic hand, it’s quite strong.

There must be stronger hands with more romance, but…

133: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I feel the era with the unprecedented interest rates in modern times.

134: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>133

Moreover, it’s still considered too cheap and being called a scam.

138: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>133

That is the thought of the dead…

136: Japan Otaku Reviews

The horse racing section has many points to nitpick, but I can forgive it because the ending, where it keeps winning until it becomes gray, is cool.

137: Japan Otaku Reviews

The last horse race was originally just a matter of getting help from a bank we are close with, but is it really worth betting on ruin? It’s a harsh reality.

140: Japan Otaku Reviews

I love pun names that are like unauthorized games from the Famicom era.

145: Japan Otaku Reviews

I liked that Mr. Fukumoto was trying hard to draw girls cutely.

Including the fact that Bishin was explosively born as a reaction.

146: Japan Otaku Reviews

I need you…

147: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>146

Is it in English…?

150: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>147

In the case of pachislot, it was properly picked up with voice.

A slightly intense effect that results in a rare trigger.

148: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>146

Is it English…?

149: Japan Otaku Reviews

149: Japan Otaku Reviews

The name is Tetsuo Morita, there is no background…!

151: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s rare to win through cheating or calculation; it’s simply just strong luck, and that made me laugh.
