How Kaiji: Ultimate Survivor Captures the Millennial Struggle | The Death Cult of Capitalism

Anime has never been more based than this!!!

Just like the average modern day millennial, 21-year-old Kaiji Ito came of age at a time when the job market in his country was far from ideal. On top of his joblessness, he suddenly finds himself so deep in debt that he may never fully claw his way out. Kaiji: Ultimate Survivor uses these circumstances as a starting point to explore the mechanics of the death cult of capitalism: the callousness of the ruling class, the bodily toll that wage labor takes, and the critical role that solidarity plays in fighting back. In the end, Kaiji is the working class hero we all need!
