HiDive Announces English Dub Premiere Of Kaiji: Ultimate Survivor
HiDive has announced a November 28th drop date for the first nine English dubbed episodes of Kaiji: Ultimate Survivor. The series right now is available on home release with only English subtitles, but now we’re getting the English dub that features the following cast. Here’s the synopsis:
Unemployed degenerate Kaiji Ito spent his time drinking, gambling, and racking up bills, and was sure that his life had hit rock bottom. Then that bottom fell out when Endo the Loan Shark arrived to inform him of a friend’s default on a loan that Kaiji foolishly co-signed, making Kaiji responsible for a soul crushing 3,000,000 yen! But there is one possible way out; if Kaiji goes to a secret gambling ship and plays successfully for one night, his debt could be absolved. It’s a trick, of course, but what choice does Kaiji have? Trapped into playing a series of increasingly ruthless contests that are hopelessly rigged against the players, Kaiji finds himself a pawn in a competition where the game pieces aren’t expected to survive… and the real players are all actively betting against KAIJI!
Sentai Filmworks hasn’t announced if the English dubbed adaptation will have a home release other than streaming.
