>emotive manga Akagi
The adaptation is hard to complain about but it feels like they somewhat characterized him retroactively based on the Washizu arc.

>end is near
That panel was only halfway through the match

You're right. I'm just saying it would be interesting precisely because he never loses. I love Akagi but you have to admit he's a Gary Stu, an interesting one, but one none the less. And when you have a perfect character sometimes you want them to see them fail.

No he is not a gary stu. He isnt a perfect boy with superficial flaws. He isn't a human. First of all he has white hair in a series where nobody has weird hair colors. The only people having white hair are old people and as they happen to be in kaiji and akagi, they are almost demonlike people with no remorse. White hair indicates he is a supernatural creature. Akagi came in the parlor after the guy begged for someone to save him, even if it was a devil. Then akagi came in. Then he basically shows himself as someone who only exists to make other people lose, not to win. Like some kind of spirit that is tehre to screw people over. This is further pushed by the fact he wants people to gamble with all their worth.

He doesn't not lose because he is a perfect boy, he doesn't not lose because he is a gary stu that is good at mahjong and beats all those bad guys. He wins if someone falters in the face of complete destruction. He teaches people humility. But unlike a good guy his payment is everything.

Wanting akagi to lose is like wanting a calculator to make a mistake.

There's Hirayama though.

Yes, what is your point mentioning him?
