Sorry, I meant to comment going ‘WITH’ the underdog, as Kaiji’s relentless denial to admit defeat is what gave Furuhata and Andou life. And the fact Andou’s greed can inevitably lead to his own downfall. And its very human to have someone succumb to short term guarantees.

I think the betrayal was inevitable. Kaiji unluckiness and gullibility creates horrid situations for him. Also the fact that most these guys on the ship, given their desperation and down and out of luck, if someone gave them an inch for their freedom, unhindered, they will take a mile and more. I can see why one wouldn’t feel bad for Andou as Kaiji, once again got himself in a situation which he didn’t have a trump card (as usual). And that to each other, they are nothing but pawns in a sense. But going with the story itself, I can’t help going against the underdog.

Socrat, he just has similiar teeth, not the same person. Would have been funny though

I might be wrong about this but I’m pretty sure Okabayashi is a cross-over character from Akagi. He ended up with a 30 million yen or so debt after his game with Akagi during one of the arcs, and that’s more than likely why he’s on the ship.
