lot of people on here saying that 457 is comparable to hannigram, but imo it is far closer to kaiji itou and kazuya hyōdō's relationship.

i'd argue that hannigram is more personal, whereas 457 and whatever the hell you call kaiji and kazuya are more ideological. hannibal wants to destroy and create will, to see what he can become. in ho and kazuya want to destroy gi hun and kaiji's worldviews. hannibal's initial interest is in will as a person and how he can use him, whereas in ho and kazuya are primarily concerned with proving gi hun and kaiji wrong, the people themselves being redundant (i.e. hannibal would only be interested in will, whereas in ho and kazuya would have been equally interested in destroying anyone else with the same notability and a similar worldview).

this is why i think hannibal's worldview doesn't change majorly over the show, but in ho and kazuya's character development and everything they do is directly linked to how they see other people. accepting gi hun or kaiji means accepting that kindness exists, and that all people mean something, whereas being in love with will doesn't as much.

also this is propaganda to read kaiji. if you like squid game, you will love kaiji bc pretty much every piece of death game media in the last thirty years has been based on it in some way. squid game is very similar to kaiji in it's themes, most notably general anti-capitalism and an almost hopepunk belief in kindness. i think kaiji is better at portraying emotion and the psychological impacts of gambling addiction, kaiji is so mentally ill it's crazy and the way tears especially are drawn in kaiji is so expressive.

kaiji's gambles are also more complex. this is not a diss on squid game in any way, keeping the games so simple helped on delivering their message, but if you're into trying to work out mechanically how you win something, kaiji is for you.

the parts that kazuya are in are 3, 4, and 5. if you're more interested in gambling psychology and mechanically difficult games, i'd recommend reading all parts (parts 1 and 2 have been made into anime and they're good adaptations). if you're more interested in psychological toxic yaoi, i'd recommend reading from part 4, or even just 5. while kazuya is an important character in part 3, it isn't about him in the same way part 4 and 5 are. the only context you really need is kazuya gave kaiji an absurdly expensive golden toothpick at the end of part 3, as he didn't really care for it. this will come up in part 5, so just keep it in the back of your mind lmao.

The reason I probably shouldn't be allowed to make movies is I have no impulse control and I would immediately make something called Revenge Of The Dead Tranny Hooker. It would be about a trans woman trying to break into acting, but no one wants to hire her for anything except playing a sex worker who gets murdered. Then one day she does an open casting call which runs her through a series of increasingly bizarre line readings, which it turns out are meant to summon an eldritch demon to grant the movie producer god-like powers.

The culmination is supposed to be sex on the casting couch, but she ditches at the last minute, destroying the ritual and splintering the extradimensional entity across California. She unknowingly receives powerful extradimensional blood, while the rest of the fragments seek out the powerful and violent people of the world. Meanwhile the movie producer uses his new powers to transform his PAs into henchcreatures, and sends them after the protag to finish her off. She discovers her new powers in the ensuing fight, which also seem to be gradually altering her body every time she uses them.

The rest of the movie is a steadily escalating game of cat and mouse between trans woman and movie producer. While the former transformers the fragments into powerful psychic weapons like chainsaws and spiked bats, the later uses fragments to make himself bigger and physically stronger. At first the fights are short and brutal, the protag outmatched and outgunned, but she gets more confident to the point of an anarchic battle of against the LAPD led by a demonic police captain, including a scene where she stands on the roof of a speeding police car and rips the driver through the windshield.

Her eventual form is some kind hyper sexual draconic mantid squid rippling with biomechanoid components. In the fight with the producer he thinks he's winning by tearing apart the last of her human flesh, but this just complete her transformation, letting her easily overwhelm him. It's implied from that point forward she plans to conquer the world.
