Afterglow As dawn approaches, the chairman draws the winning piece, and as the devastated Kaiji prepares to have his fingers severed he asks the chairman his name which he says is Kazutaka Hyōdō. Later, as all the survivors wait in the foyer of the building to leave, they examine the box and find the duplicate winning ticket crumpled in a corner, meaning that Hyōdō had figured out their strategy. On re-examining the winning piece, Kaiji sees that it was folded, something Hyōdō had done when placing the winning piece inside the box before the draw. As they depart, with Kaiji's severed ear and fingers in a bag of ice, Kaiji realizes how experienced and cunning Hyōdō is and that he should have quit while he had the ¥20 million winnings. However he still wants revenge.
