Tonegawa is the name of the man you've met with the combed-back gray hair. His boss's name is one you've doubtless heard us use a thousand times before but is one which I shan't remind you of just yet since its reveal in the final episode of Season 1 is a pretty epic+badass scene. Teiai (帝愛, 帝 tei emperor 愛 ai love) is the name of the company of which this mysterious figure is both the primary stockholder (i.e. the owner) and the president.
"how come when one person gets electrocuted the current doesn't travel through the entire beam and knock everyone else off?" 1. The beam is always electrified. 2. The only reason the men aren't being electrocuted right now is because of the rubber insulation on the soles of their shoes. 3. One man touching his skin to the beam has no effect on the electricity's ability to penetrate the other men's soles. Did I miss anything?

One of Talon's spoilers is actually huge and potentially series ruining, I'm surprised he said it.

I don't think anything I wrote is series ruining though. Series-ruining spoiler, made in reply to Doppel: EDIT: Edited out because DRAMA.

(Though technically I could use my mod powers... XP)

Spoiler: show And I didn't know that that was the cause of {}'s death. That's really sad to hear. (I say of a fictional character! lol That's when you know you've succeeded as a writer: when people react to the deaths of some of your characters the way I just did.)

It wasn't the direct cause IIRC, those were meds. But it frustrated him enough to want to end it.

Status Update: Just letting you guys know I actually am caught up to 16. ^^; Haven't reported in since I've been kind of cheating on my project. ._.; At least it's due tomorrow so I won't have to worry about lagging behind on either anymore.
Episode 15: Spoiler: show Episode 16: Spoiler: show

Glad you're enjoying it. Sorry for the lack of reply. I did read this the day you posted it, but I was probably on a bus or something at the time browsing via cell phone and could not reply at the time. Anyway, I now see on MyAnimeList.com that you're through Episode 18. I really, really look forward to hearing what you've got to say about the next couple of episodes. If you manage to watch 19 without pressing on to 20, as we had to years ago, I will be very impressed.

Your challenge is to watch 19 ... and to resist the temptation to then tune in to episode 20 before a week has passed. If you can do that, then it either means: (1) you deserve everyone's respect for having such amazing fortitude of will, or else (2) you're not enjoying Kaiji as much as we were when these episodes first aired ^^; I just hope that it's #1. The way episode 19 ended, for me, was amazing. One of the best (so I guess you could call it one of the worst? XD) cliffhangers I've ever seen. And then 20 delivers ... in a ... we'll talk about it after you've seen it. ^^; IIRC, Mcsweeney's "#1 Most Epic Moment" in Season 1 was what comes in between the E-Card arc and the final arc of the first season. Without spoilering you, I'll just put it this way: "respect." The others should know what I mean by this. You, too, should be able to figure out after (but only after) you've seen the relevant scene.

I think it's safe to say that you have no idea what he's talking about there.

Fair enough. It just sounded potentially related.

Probably the worst cliffhanger in both seasons for me is this 19/20 interlude. If you guys can hold off for a week before pressing on to 20, you have willpowers of steel.
Readings your guys' thoughts and comments is an absolute treat. Can't wait to hear what you have to say about 20 once you've seen it.
