When this story unraveled in Episode 1, I was like this: Out of options, Akira agrees, and is sent to Toshima. 2 visitors named Emma and Gwen offer Akira freedom if he agrees to participate in Igura to defeat II Re. The main protagonist, Akira, is falsely accused of a murder he didn't commit, and if he is sentenced, he will spend life in prison. Sounds kind of sketchy if you ask me, but it often results in the loser's death. The winner can take the loser's tags and can do whatever they please with them. These scuffles end when one party dies or their back hits the ground (then again, that rule really isn't followed, so.).
Of course, contestants must also compete with each other by taking other's tags.
The goal of the game is to collect a royal flush (which is an ace, king, queen, jack, and a ten) in order to challenge the strongest in Igra, II Re (Italian for king). A participant must hang one from their neck in order for other players to confirm they are a participant of Igura. They will then receive 5 dog tags, which are styled like a deck of playing cards. In order to participate in Igura, one must meet with the leader of Vischio, Arbitro. Igura revolves around the collection of various tags, and has been known for various deaths. Several years later, Vischio, a crime organization, took control of the capital city Toshima (which apparently was formally Tokyo), and implanted a game where several participants compete known as Igura (Russian for game). We're going to go in a similar fashion to my previous incompleted review, starting with the things I liked about the show.Īfter World War 3 (also called the Third Division), Japan was divided into 2 sections. You'll find out the reasons why as I go in depth as to why Togainu no Chi and me didn't work out. Just don't watch the OVA at night my friends.īecause of that, I decided to watch Togainu no Chi. There were some slight weaknesses the second time around (mainly with Virus and Trip's plot twist that was REALLY obvious that it became obnoxious), but I think it's still a great show. The story's pretty unique, the characters are pretty interesting, the score is boss, and Satoshi Hino's voice is still the best out of the whole entire thing. I rewatched DRAMAtical Murder a few months ago, and it still holds up to what I mentioned in the review a year and a half ago. But Togainu no Chi came first, and I actually didn't know this existed until I looked DRAMAtical Murder up one random day. Both are originally BL games which were later adapted into anime. It would later get an anime adaption, which I followed in the Summer 2014 season. Togainu no Chi was first released as a computer game back in 2005 from Nitro+CHiRAL, who were also responsible for creating DRAMAtical Murder, which was released in 2012.
