Kaiji - S01

With his debt piling up, Kaiji Itou ends up slipping back into his old ways. One day, while out on the street, he runs into Yuuji Endou, who is after him over the money he owes the Teiai Group. Not knowing any of this, Kaiji follows Endou readily, hoping for another shot at gambling, but he soon learns what the loan shark is really after when he gets kidnapped. Since Kaiji cannot pay off his massive debt, the Teiai Group sends him to work in an underground labor camp instead. He is told he will have to live in that hell for 15 years, alongside other debtors, until he earns his freedom. His only hope of ending the nightmare early is to save up enough money to return to the surface for a single day. Once there, he plans to get the rest of the money he needs to clear his account by making a high-stakes bet. But with so many temptations threatening his meager earnings, Kaiji may have to turn to gambling sooner than he expected.
