EPISODE CONTEXT

Following episode one's establishment of Kaiji's fall into the underground labor camp, this second episode crystallizes the oppressive system he's trapped in and the rules governing his captivity. It functions as essential worldbuilding for the season's broader arc, transitioning from Kaiji's initial shock into the strategic mindset he'll need to develop in subsequent episodes. Everything that follows — his schemes, alliances, and gambles — will be built on the foundation this episode lays.
