Chekhov's Gun | |
| Kaiji 2: The Ultimate Gambler / int_22cf536c | comment |
Chekhov's Gun: Tonegawa's three pieces of advice given to Kaiji during their Shogi game becomes this for 'The Princess and the Slave', when he reminds Kaiji to push the right button with "determination". An unknown person is seen digging a hole until light comes in and he smiles. That person was Tonegawa, who was trying to dig into the vents of Ichizo's office and make 'The Swamp''s Section C ball size bigger. The first contestant playing 'The Swamp' is seen inserting a special credit card in the Teiai ATM, giving him 10 million more yen. When Tonegawa returns and uses that same method to aid Kaiji and Sakazaki, he tells Ichizo that "[he] shouldn't have issued this card to employees". Logically, it hints that anyone working for Teiai would be in possession of the card, like Yumi. Who uses it to fuel Kaiji's game with more money after Tonegawa's contribution fails as well. | |

Central Theme | |
| Kaiji 2: The Ultimate Gambler / int_5ce7dbb9 | comment |
Central Theme: Friends, and how one uses them. Kaiji firmly believes that no one should be left behind in Teiai's underground labor, and hence makes it his mission to win enough money to set them free. He even affirms that friends are more important than any currency in the end. Ichizo firmly believes that friends can only be used so that one may obtain higher positions in life. He believes this because he had to kill people in 'Brave Men Road', because others thought he was trying to push them off. As for Tonegawa, he's a mix of the two. He only becomes Kaiji's friend to trick him into thinking he blew up their shares of 'The Swamp''s prize money, when that was actually counterfeit and he had the combined sum of money all along. His final scene has him sarcastically saying that Kaiji has friends, showing how he only used his "friendship" with Kaiji to fulfil his personal revenge. | |

The Ending Changes Everything | |
| Kaiji 2: The Ultimate Gambler / int_7d3f1d63 | comment |
The Ending Changes Everything: The movie's final plot twist of the movie makes us view a certain character's actions through a different light. Tonegawa's Heel–Face Turn was a ruse, done to get a big sum of money for himself. He played along with Kaiji's plan to beat 'The Swamp', and then made him believe that he blew up the two's shares with a car bomb. As a result, he has Kaiji's and his own sums of money, with a bonus of him finally getting even with Kaiji over his 'E-Card' loss a year ago. | |

"The Reason You Suck" Speech | |

"The Reason You Suck" Speech: In an unusual case, Kaiji gives one towards 'The Swamp', a pachinko machine, during the game's final stretch. | |

Foreshadowing | |
| Kaiji 2: The Ultimate Gambler / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: Ichizo's monologue about "push[ing] to survive" and "knocking off others to secure your seat" hints at his past in getting into Teiai's high positions: the Brave Men Road challenge had him literally shoving several people off a long height. It's even more blatant when Yumi, in her Motive Rant, says that "[she doesn't] want to be the one pushed off the ledge". When Ichizo washes his hands in his office, the water levels fluctuate, causing him to blame the building's infrastructure. He wasn't far off, as Kaiji and Tonegawa used the building's water supply to fill twenty 1,000-litre water tanks on the seventh floor for 8 hours, cancelling 'The Swamp''s hidden forward tilt. | |

| Kaiji 2: The Ultimate Gambler / int_b35e77ee | comment |
Fake Defector: Yumi pretends to defect to Kaiji's side when him, Sakazaki and Tonegawa attempt 'The Swamp' a second time, so that she can record their attempts to sabotage the machine itself. This fails. | |

"Eureka!" Moment: After Kaiji fails on the second attempt for 'The Swamp', he is contemplating this loss... until he looks down at the drainage ducts and has an idea for the next try. His face is one of surprised glee. | |

I Fight for the Strongest Side! | |
| Kaiji 2: The Ultimate Gambler / int_db7c6092 | comment |
I Fight for the Strongest Side!: This is Yumi's reasoning for working with Ichizo: she believes that 'The Swamp' will always take down any player. However, when she starts to witness Kaiji, Sakazaki and Tonegawa actually beating the many obstacles implemented in that game, she eventually joins them. | |

How the Mighty Have Fallen | |
| Kaiji 2: The Ultimate Gambler / int_f933e594 | comment |
How the Mighty Have Fallen: Tonegawa's 'E-Card' loss took a toll on him. In his first scene, he wears casual clothing instead and his rants about losing fall on deaf ears, with one passerby shoving him over to shut him up. His job at Teiai isn't better of either, since he carries out menial tasks for Teiai, like being a human chair for Ichizo. | |

The Power of Friendship: The one thing fuelling Kaiji's struggle against 'The Swamp'. Even when Ichizo wants to declare the game a tie in the third act, Kaiji will have none of it, giving a speech about this trope. | |
