Gokijima: Gh...This is pathetic. The master hustler Gokijima-sama was just taken out by a coupla kids.
SFX: Cough...

Gokijima: How far can my luck fall?
Gokijima: Everythin's backfired on me since I met that Shirasagi kid last summer.
SFX: Wobble...

Gokijima: I thought he was just some high-class kid who didn't know how the world worked, but he betrayed me at the last moment and I lost everythin'.

Gokijima: It's time to show off my other face...
SFX: Focus
Gokijima: "Mahjong Demon" Gokijima!!!

Gokijima: Evenin'!! Mind if I join in?
Guy: Sup.
Man: Go right ahead.

Gokijima: A stupid student and a businessman, huh?
SFX: Glance
Gokijima: Who's the last player?

SFX: Whack!!
Abidani: Sorry for keeping you all waiting.

08

Abidani: Don't be too hard on me.

09

Gokijima: Who's this weird bald guy? Gives me the creeps.
SFX: Light
Gokijima: An actor who can't find work? Or a bookie for the horse races? No, maybe he's the manager of a gay bar.

Gokijima: Well, I should be able to trick this level of opponents.
Gokijima: They ran out of luck the second they sat down at the same table as me.

SFX: Rattle rattle

SFX: Flip

Gokijima: I start out as dealer and the dora is [tile shown].

10

Gokijima: Not good. Seven suits and eight different tiles. What a bad hand.
Gokijima: My luck just won't turn around.

SFX: Pick up pick up

Gokijima: Excuse me.
Gokijima: I'm just pushing the wall forward a bit.

SFX: Reach

SFX: Push
SFX: Place

11

Gokijima: I use my secret technique "Cockroach Change" and now that shitty hand is gone and I'm ryan shan ten!!
SFX: Scurry scurry!!
Gokijima: Looks like I've still got it. Heh heh heh...

SFX: Push

Abidani: Heh heh...
SFX: Place!!

SFX: Place Push Place!!

Gokijima: Tsumo!!
Gokijima: Hon Itsu Ittsuu. 6000 all!!
SFX: Reveal!!

12

Man: Uuh...It's only the 5th turn and you have a hand like that?
Man: And that's a high-value tsumo.
Gokijima: Oh, I'm sure it was just a fluke!!
SFX: Eheh eheh

Abidani: You're not bad.
Abidani: Here's your 6000.

Gokijima: Heh heh. Thanks.
Gokijima: Keh!! Suckers!!

Box: East Wind - First Round - One Consecutive Dealer Win - Dora: [tile shown]
Gokijima: Heh heh heh. With this hand, it looks like my luck's turned around.

Gokijima: Normally I'd get rid of a [tile shown] and go tenpai without callin' riichi, but against these amateurs...
Gokijima: I'll just wait for another [tile shown]!!
SFX: Place!!
Gokijima: Riichi!!

13

SFX: Place

Gokijima: Oh, that's...!!
SFX: Glance

SFX: Reach!!

Gokijima: Riichi Ippatsu Iipeko Dora 1.
Gokijima: 12000 and 300!!

14

Guy: Woah. You were waiting on a second [tile shown]?
Gokijima: Yeah...I'm not really sure why I went riichi on that.

Gokijima: When I went to win that hand, I switched out the [first tile shown] with the discarded [second tile shown]. That's my godly skill "Cockroach Infinite Possession"!!

Abidani: Now you've done it. You play some dirty mahjong, don't you?
SFX: Heh...

Gokijima: Ah!? Don't complain about what hands we're dealt, baldy!!!
Gokijima: In gamblin', the winner's the one in the right!!

Abidani: Heh heh heh. I see. So winning itself is justice.
Abidani: Excuse me then.
SFX: Smirk...

15

SFX: Place
SFX: Push
SFX: Place

Gokijima: The last round. I'm about 50000 points above the guy in 2nd.
Gokijima: As long as nothin' major happens, I've got this in the bag.

Gokijima: The only problem I see is that that guy's the dealer.
SFX: Glance...

SFX: Reach out...

SFX: Toss!!

16

Gokijima: That bastards goin' for a kokushi. But he doesn't know I've got all four of [tile shown].
SFX: Hmm...
Gokijima: He's just goin' to have to bluff the entire way.

Guy: Mmh...
SFX: Reach out

Guy: There!! This is the last round, so riichi!!

Gokijima: All the better.
Gokijima: That stupid student can just end this.
SFX: Puff puff

Abidani: It looks like I went too weak.
SFX: Reach out...
Abidani: I have no choice but to go riichi.

17

Abidani: Just try and stop me!!
SFX: Drop

Gokijima: Oh, he wasn't goin' for a kokushi?
Gokijima: So it must be chiitoi or chanta...
SFX: Reach out

Gokijima: Uuh...[tile shown] a live tile.

Gokijima: I can't get rid of anything else. I guess I'll discard it.
SFX: Place!!

Abidani: Ippatsu...

Gokijima: Eh!?

18

Abidani: Dai Suu Shii Suu Ankou Tanki!!! 144,000!
Gokijima: Napaaaa!!??

19

Gokijima: Th-there's no way!
Gokijima: You just called riichi on [tile shown]...

Gokijima: Ah!!?

Abidani: In gambling winning itself is justice, isn't that right, Gokijima-san?

Gokijima: H-how do you know my name!? Who are you, baldy!?
Abidani: Your name is Gokijima Kaoru. 49 years old. One divorce. Three convictions on your criminal record. You're a fat-ass that you simply can't set straight no matter what you try.

Abidani: In exchange for the amount you owe me for losing here, I'd like for your help in a little game.
Abidani: It isn't mahjong or billiards, but I'm sure you'll like it.

Gokijima: A game....!!?
SFX: Grab!!

20

SFX: Shaaaaah!
SFX: Tremble tremble tremble
Abidani: A game where you get to make Shirasagi Tomu cry like a little bitch.
Gokijima: M-Mogiiiii!!!
