[[labelnote:Explanation]]A japanese onomatopoeia meaning uneasy atmosphere, used ''a lot'' both in manga and anime (to the point of being incorporated into soundtrack). Basically, an equivalent of ゴゴゴゴゴ from Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure. Expect a lot of those being thrown around whenever somebody discusses the series. [[/labelnote]]

*CompleteMonster: [[EvilOldFolks Kazutaka Hyo(u)do(u)]] is the BigBad of the entire series. A wealthy socialite and [[CorruptCorporateExecutive president of the financial consulting firm Teiai]], Hyodo is a man driven mad by money and power whose only enjoyment in life is to see the lower classes of society struggle for their lives and money in illegal gambling tournaments. In Part 1, Hyodo has a group of his debtors gamble in a ship, collecting badges from each other. Those who lose all their badges are transferred to an underground mine where they are forced to work for their money in horrible conditions, most of them dying due to work-related injuries or breathing problems caused by the smoke. In Part 2, Hyodo forces another group of debtors to walk on a narrow plank ten meters up the air, and in order for them to win, they [[SadisticChoice have to push down others, breaking their bones while doing so]]. After [[TheHero Kaiji]] and a handful of others manage to walk on the other side, they are then forced on a similar plank which is electrified and hundreds of meters up the air. Kaiji, being the sole survivor of the second part, is then obliged to duel against Hyodo's right-hand man, [[TheDragon Yukio Tonegawa]], and choose either his {{eye|Scream}} or [[EarAche eardrum]] as his stake. After Kaiji wins, Hyodo proves [[BadBoss how cruel he is to his subordinates]], forcing Tonegawa to [[ManOnFire kneel for a minute on a scalding platform]]. Briefly appearing in Part 3, Hyodo is seen drinking the blood of his victims, while treating his other subordinates with similar cruelty. A truly despicable old man, Hyodo is the living incarnate of {{greed}} and cruelty in a [[CrapsackWorld world where people are willingly to do anything in order to pay back their debts]].
