Ep. 22: Akagi headbutts a tile to secure a massive win and explains his refusal to transfuse blood
Aired on March 1, 2006

After reviewing Washizu's hand, Akagi headbutts the three-man tile dealt by Suzuki to Washizu. This action increases the winnings from the first and second rounds to exactly ¥118,500,000. Akagi then explains his decision not to replenish his blood. By relying on Washizu making a mistake to win, Akagi used his reckless behavior of not transfusing his blood to shake awake the feelings of fear sleeping deep within Washizu's mind.
