Part 5/9:
Just when hope shines on the horizon for Kaiji after a triumphant victory against a rival, reality takes a dark turn. The defeated participants are punished and sent deep underground to labor in appalling conditions. Here, they work in a brutal environment for meager rewards, demoralized and living under strict surveillance.
The Despair of Labor
As Kaiji and the others toil away, they face daily hardships, with the weight of their circumstances bearing down on them. However, glimmers of hope emerge, hinting at a potential escape through a new opportunity—a game called Brave Men Road that promises freedom for the victors. Inspired by the prospect of liberation, Kaiji rallies his co-workers to participate, igniting their collective resolve to fight back against their oppressors.
