Kaiji

[Promestein]

Kaiji shouldn't have Probability Manipulation. Though the story gets ridiculous at times, there's nothing supernatural at play, unless the manga suddenly violently diverges from that premise, but it's obvious that the page is only taking the anime into account.

Kaiji's a normal guy, and 10-A isn't appropriate either, because he doesn't fight off anyone. He runs off a few times and gets beaten up a few times. He should just be 10-B, and I'll rewrite the rest of his page to better capture his abilities.

Seems okay

 

[Wokistan]

Average intelligence just because he got conned and scammed by a "friend" doesn't seem appropriate either. Isn't he also a gambling addict? That's an actual problem people have, its not really related to intelligrnce so much as dopanine.

 

[Promestein]

Yeah, I wanted to deal with that stuff too. Kaiji is pretty naive and trusting, especially at the beginning of the story, when the worst of the backstabbing and manipulating happens, but that's it. It should be noted that he was also super depressed, hopeless, and heavily in debt at the time, and Endou's a good sweet talker.

And the he gets addicted to gambling.

What the hell is probability manip doing there. Agree with the revision.

 

[Promestein]

Yeah I have no ******* idea. Maybe all the talk about luck? But whenever someone talks about luck they're really just covering up how they're cheating.

 

[Wokistan]

8-C kaiji via what he did with the rigged pachinko machine when?

Yeah it was probably someone taking him cheating as prob manip.

 

[Promestein]

The page as it is makes the building tilt a lot more impressive than it actually is; he just uses a bunch of very big water containers to slightly tilt a building that's on soft ground.

 

[Elizhaa]

I agreed with the changes since currently a lot of things like Probability Manipulation are unsubstantiated.

 

[DarkDragonMedeus]

Seems reasonable

 

[Promestein]

Here's what the page would look like. This only accounts for anime stuff so far, but it's better than what we currently have. I'm planning on reading the manga soon, so I'd update it as I go along.

 

[Wokistan]

Sure

 

[Saikou_The_Lewd_King]

Fine by me.
