| 1 | ''Manga/{{Akagi}}'' is a Mahjong series, [[WellThisIsNotThatTrope but]] [[SliceOfLife this]] [[TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture isn't]] ''Manga/{{Saki}}''. '''[[DarkerAndEdgier This]]''' [[{{Yakuza}} is the world of]] [[NotCheatingUnlessYouGetCaught Underground]] [[PsychologicalThriller Mahjong]] [[CrapsackWorld in post-WWII Japan]] [[AbsurdlyHighStakesGame where losing will lead to]] [[KilledOffForReal an early grave]] ''[[FateWorseThanDeath or worse]]''. |

| 3 | * The Washizu arc, especially to those squeamish about losing blood. Some will probably find the sheer insanity of it all unnerving as well, not to mention [[spoiler:Washizu's DemonicPossession moment. The sounds he makes gives a [[BrainBleach far worse image]]]]. |
| 4 | * Ichikawa and Akagi's game of RussianRoulette is really, really intense in the anime. And Akagi later gives a punk the same treatment. None of the three were hit, though. |
| 5 | * In chapter 246, [[spoiler:after Washizu collapses from blood loss, he wakes up in complete darkness with a strange light in the distance. His confusion and [[OhCrap slow realization]] that he has passed on is disturbingly realistic for anyone who fears dying without warning or [[PrimalFear in their sleep]] and suddenly finding themselves in the afterlife.]] The ensuing arc set in [[spoiler:Jigoku/Buddhist Hell]] is pretty damn [[{{Narm}} silly]] though, and [[spoiler:the old man eventually [[MaybeMagicMaybeMundane wakes up or is resurrected, depending on your interpretation]]]]. |
