02x35 - D'Arby the Gambler, Part 2

[bunniefuu]

Before we get started,
there's something I want to check.

Shuffle those cards.

They're shuffled.

What now?

Draw a card from the deck.

It doesn't matter where.

Just make sure
no one else sees it.

OK.

I'll tell you which one it is:
the six of hearts.

I'll name the cards
in order from the top.

Five of spades, queen of diamonds,
jack of spades, ace of hearts,

seven of diamonds, six of clubs,
king of clubs, two of diamonds.

He's right!

And D'Arby shuffled the deck...

How did you...

I can tell you the entire deck.

Star Platinum saw
the order of the cards

when they were shuffled.

Very interesting.

But all I have to do is shuffle the cards

where you can't see them.

Don't you get it?

It's not going to be so easy
for you anymore

to cheat with me as your opponent.

Just something I thought
you should know.

Good.

EPISODE :
D'ARBY THE GAMBLER, PART

The security seal.

An unbroken seal means the deck
has not been tampered with.

One joker.

I don't see anything unusual.

It's a normal deck.

The page number is ...

... No, page .

Hasn't failed me yet.

I can tell which page it is
simply by touch.

Jotaro's Star Platinum may have
incredible visual prowess,

but I can remember
everything by touch.

I know the exact location
of every card, shuffled or not.

OK! Open the game!

Ten of hearts.

Seven of clubs.

I'll be dealing then.

I need to shuffle the cards at
an angle Star Platinum won't see.

Cut the deck.

And now I'll deal.

Jotaro... Me...

What? What happened?

Jotaro, his finger!

Star Platinum just broke
D'Arby's finger!

I told you.

You won't be cheating anymore.

He tried to cheat? When?
He was just dealing the cards...

I didn't see him do
anything suspicious.

No. Take a good look at the cards
in his left hand.

The second card is sticking out...

That's the card
he tried to deal me.

He pretended to deal the top card,

but was about to deal me
the second card from the top.

Which means...

The top card would have
gone to him.

He would've had three tens
with that card.

The so-called second deal.

A sleight-of-hand technique

in which the dealer deals
the second card in the deck,

instead of the expected
top card deal.

Performed by an expert,
the cheat is almost imperceptible.

What's more,

D'Arby knows the location of
every card in the deck by touch.

You trash.
How dare you break my finger...

I was being nice.

You're lucky I didn't rip it off.

Good grief. I guess I can't let you
cut the deck anymore.

Someone else is going do it
from now on.

That boy over there on the hill
looks like he could help.

Good.

Avdol, ask him to come here.

Certainly.

Impressive...

To cheat successfully, one must
exploit the element of surprise.

It takes more than sharp eyes
to prevent that.

It appears I underestimated you,
given you caught my second deal.

I'll accept my fractured finger
as punishment.

And now, I'll devote my full
concentration to our game, Jotaro.

I haven't done so since my colossal
gamble on May th, ...

against a Japanese man
known as Shozo Mayama.

I won his eight Tokyo properties,
and his soul!

His wealth had not dulled
his gambler's instincts.

I'm not here for Lord Dio.

I'm here because
I was born to be a gambler!

What do you think you're doing?

Those are Mr. Joestar's
and Polnareff's souls!

I've split their souls
into six chips each.

In poker,
if you think you might lose,

you can fold.

You need to be able to drop out
and up the ante,

so we can't play
with just two chips.

Winning back six chips,

is the equivalent
to winning one soul.

Got it?

Now, Jotaro. If we play, you'll get
your chance to win back the chips.

But I still haven't
heard you say it.

Fine. I'll bet my soul.

Good!

Jotaro...

Those pure white chips
represent your soul.

Once I win all six,

your soul is mine.

OSIRIS
D'ARBY ELDER

I'll bet one chip of Polnareff's soul.

Let's begin!

In this game of poker,
each player is dealt five cards.

Players have one chance to improve
their hand by swapping out cards.

But it's the betting that makes
poker a game of psychology.

Now then, I suppose I'll raise.

Keep in mind Jotaro, those six
white chips are your soul.

Think before you make your move.

Listen, it's okay
if you don't understand.

You don't have to worry.

Just cut and deal the cards
the way you know how.

OK...

Give me three cards.

My, my, that's quite
the frightful glare.

You must have a very good hand.

I guess I'll play it safe
and bet one more Polnareff.

Call.

If you don't fold, you need
at least three chips per game.

All right! Come on, Jotaro!

Two pair, eights and nines.

Oh, sorry.

Two pair, jacks and queens.

That was close.
I almost lost that one.

So then...

He has only three left.

Jotaro...

OK, next game. Deal the cards.

Only the next game
may be your last.

One card.

What's wrong, Jotaro?

Hurry up and look at your hand.

Decide whether
you'll change or fold.

Jotaro?

No...

these cards will do.

What?

Um, pardon me...

What was that?

I think I misheard you.

I could have sworn I heard you say
"these cards will do."

You heard right. These cards will do.

I'll play with this hand.

I know that!

I'm asking if you intend to

play those cards
without looking at them.

These cards will do.

Don't mess with me! Answer me!

How can you play without
looking at the cards?

Avdol, I have a favor to ask.

A favor?

Of course, but why won't you
look at your cards?

Answer me, Jotaro!

I'll raise you another two and...

I'll throw in Avdol's soul.

Wh...

What?

D'Arby, you are impressive.

Sure, you're no match
for our Stands physically,

but you're cunning and
calm under pressure.

I'm no gambler.
You could read me like a book.

I would certainly lose
against the likes of you.

But I trust Jotaro.

I don't know why
he won't look at his cards,

but if he asks me for my soul,
I won't waver.

My soul is in Jotaro's hands.

I see...

Seems you both have cracked
under the pressure.

Boy!

I said "one card"!
Hurry up and deal me!

Yes, sir...

Master D'Arby,
I dealt just as you asked.

His hand is worthless.
I'm sure of it.

My skills as a dealer never fail.

You've won. I know it!

Jotaro thinks the boy
has nothing to do with us.

But everyone in this café

and everyone within sight
of this place is my associate!

Even the bartender and
those men over there!

No matter who deals, I can't fail!

My directive is infallible.
Jotaro's hand has to be a weak one.

Though, admittedly, not looking
at the cards was a bold move.

He caught me by surprise,
albeit briefly...

It's a bluff!
How dare he bluff against me?

Does he really think I'll fold?
What a fool...

Very well.

I'll match you with six Polnareffs.

And...

I raise you Joseph's soul!

A total of fifteen chips!

What?

What? Hold on a minute!

Jotaro doesn't have any more chips!

He's out of chips, you say?
Of course he does.

What do you mean?

All my Stand needs
is a written contract.

Then it will be able
to take a soul.

Whose soul could you
be talking about?

Did you forget about your friend
Kakyoin, in the hospital?

-You can bet his soul!
-What?

Panic, fool!

Show me your doubt and fear!

Let me see you lose
that cool composure!

How dare he try to
bluff against me?

I'll destroy him.

I'll turn that poker face into
a miserable ball of anguish!

Fine.

I'll see you with Kakyoin's soul.

Jotaro!

You can't bet a man's soul
without his knowing!

I guess it is kind of selfish.

Hey, Jotaro! What did you just do?

What did I do?
What are you talking about?

You just lit a cig...

What's wrong? Not feeling well?

This little...

Such confidence! Could he have...

Could he have used Star Platinum
to swap the cards without my knowing?

I, JOTARO KUJO, AGREE TO SURRENDER
THE SOUL OF MY FRIEND NORIAKI KAKYOIN

IN THE EVENT THAT I LOSE.
JOTARO KUJO

Stupid brat!

Don't look at me
with that worried grimace!

If Jotaro finds out
you work for me, I'll m*rder you!

Damn fool!

I have four kings.

The only hands that could
beat me are four aces,

a straight flush,
or a joker-led five of a kind.

To get any one of those hands,

Jotaro would have
to switch all five cards.

Sure, with Star Platinum's speed,

there's a chance he could have
switched one of the cards.

But five? Could he have switched
all the cards right under my nose?

No! Completely impossible!

There's no way I could have missed
him replacing all five cards.

Not the great D'Arby!

All right, Jotaro!
Your time's come!

He lit a cigarette
to psych me out! He's bluffing!

You got a drink? When did you...

You b*stard!
How dare you mock me?

Come on, let's do this!

My hand is--

Hold it.

I haven't raised the pot yet.

What?

Raise?

You don't have anything to...

I'll raise you my mother's soul.

What?

Your mother?
Jotaro, you're betting Holly's soul?

I came to Egypt to save my mother.

If I lose here, she'll die anyway.
She won't mind if I bet her soul!

Now D'Arby,

you better bet something
that matches my mother's soul.

I want you...

to tell me the secret of Dio's Stand!

He knows...

He knows Dio's secret.

But Dio does not
take lightly to treason.

If he tells us,
D'Arby's as good as dead.

Jotaro... If you're that confident,

you know your hand will win,
don't you?

You wouldn't let us down,
would you?

You've got the winning hand,
right? Jotaro?

Well? Call or fold?

Spit it out already, D'Arby!

I'll say it!

I'll say it, damn it!

I'll say it!

I'm the world's greatest gambler!

I can do this! I'll call!

Call...

I'm going to call!

Ca...

C... Ca... C...

I can't! I'm petrified!
I'm speechless!

I'm too terrified...
The words won't come!

C...

I can't breathe...

C... Ca...

Ca...

His eyes rolled back...

He fainted on his feet!

The pressure was just too much.

Mr. Joestar and Polnareff's souls
are returning to their bodies!

Thank God!

Inside, he had already given up.

Deep down, he knew he had lost.
That's why the souls were released.

Four kings?

He had four kings!

Jotaro, what was your hand?

I knew it...

Your hand was sh*t!

Even Star Platinum
wouldn't have been able to

swap cards in front of
an expert gambler like D'Arby.

Luckily my bluff and intimidation worked.

But with such a worthless hand...

Good grief. Had I known,
I would've freaked.

Freaked?

Jotaro, you bet our souls
on that worthless hand?

His collection of souls appears
to have been released.

Come on, everyone!
Let's play mahjong!

Backgammon is a lot of fun, too.

And, oh,
I love a good game of dice.

Even if you have no chance!

D'Arby, User of the Osiris Stand.
Status: Retired

I doubt we'll be able to get
Dio's secret out of him now.

He was a formidable opponent.

He almost singlehandedly
took us all out.

He was impressive.

Yes, he was fierce.

Ugh, what just happened?

Guess we can't be the heroes
every episode.

My daughter's condition
has worsened.

I was talking about you.

Not prepared? Don't lie to me!

Women make you do that.

You saved my life!

Mondatta and Hol Horse
will be an invincible duo!
