Strip Mahjong: Battle Royale (脱衣麻雀バトルロワイアル)

Question:

"Does stripping reveal just the flesh?"

The answer is "No."

It reveals one's personality, individuality, and past...

In other words, stripping reveals the soul.

One game wonderfully reveals all of this.

It's name is...

Strip Mahjong!

Now it's time for Strip Mahjong.

I am your host, Kato.

This program is brought to you live via an exclusive channel

through pay-per-view fees from you, our viewers.

It's live! It's liiive!

We'll do anything for our customers!

Now, let's explain the rules!

Welcome to the 'World of Strip Mahjong!

We ask everyone to play nice

and follow these rules.

Basic rules are mostly the same as a normal Hanchan game,

a single two-round game using Ari-Ari rules.

We'll use our own system for Han points.

Instead of point sticks, players pay the winner with "Strip Cards" and strip accordingly

Everyone starts with 7 points, 7 articles of clothing

Yakuman = 6 points

Sanbaiman = 5 points

Batman = 4 points

Haneman = 3 points

Mangan = 2 points

Anything less = 1 point

Strip Mahjong---?

By the way, any player who goes bust,

that is, loses all her "Strip Cards,"

faces a severe punishment.

Punishment...?

Objection! This is a blatant case of wrongful imprisonment!

Objection overruled.

But I've got recorded evidence...

Yes, we're recording right now...

Let me out! Let me out of here!

The only one getting out ...is the winner!

Ha! That's just a toy. You think we're stupid'?

Ah toy? Yes, but it does send an electric shock. Zap! Zap!

Understand now? Please don't do anything reckless.

You sure you don't want to strip?

OK, we get it, so stop! We'll do it.

- I am glad to have your understanding. - Fuck that!

I'll report you! We're not some exhibition!

Shut up, bitches!

You still don't get it?

You're all good for nothing,

except for getting naked!

"Why are you here?"

You've all racked up $5 million in debts...

but has that stopped your obsessions with online mahjong?

You're here because you're worthless human beings!

What!? You can't do this!

Please shut the fuck up!

May I finish?

None of you can pay off your debts yourselves.

We're giving you the chance to pay them off in full.

Everyone, please.

Strip down to the soul,

then win and pay off your debts!

Let's get up. Can you stand?

Please excuse my earlier rudeness.

There's nothing to be ashamed of.

'Win and you can leave.

- Wait, I don't have any de-- Everyone! Please be seated.

Let the Strip Mahjong begin!

Round 1 Hand 1

The Dora Indicator is the 4 Circles tile.

The East Wind seat and first dealer is Aoi Onizuka,

the South Wind seat is Mirai Kisaragi,

the West 'Wind seat is Misuzu Kaneda,

and North Wind seat is Yuka Kashiwagi.

Turns will proceed in that order.

Ah nice starting hand...

This woman's named... Misuzu?

She's discarding all Simples.

She's the type who relies on intuition.

And this would be Yuka.

Seems sure of herself.

And Aoi Shanpai, maybe Tenpai-type?

Your turn.

Oh, sorry.

Ranran, you can see each player's style...

Yes, each is fairly unique

We can see people for who they are through Mahjong

Mirai has a cautious approach.

She's aware of what goes on around her. She seems somewhat good.

She must've been quite the lazy bitch to hone such skills.

She discarded the tile she just drew... What's she waiting on?

Hey, it's your turn.

Sorry.

Can you try not to space out?

Le--let's all calm down a bit.

You first.

Look at your hand.

Reach

Mirai has declared a "Reach."

Let's pick a Strip Card for your wager!

Outerwear

She's chosen "Outerwear!

If Mirai wins this hand, the losers must remove their outerwear.

However, if Mirai loses, she'll have to remove her own!

What? I didn't hear that rule!

Yeah, I didn't mention it.

Reach

TOP

The game is now afoot! Aoi's wagered her "Top" card

It's getting interesting!

Mirai has secured a Mangan with the possibility for a Batman,

but Aoi's hot in pursuit. She too may have a Mangan.

The tiles I need have already been discarded. I'll have to fold...

You're not supposed to say that out loud.

Ron!

Reach All Simples No-Points Hand Three Color Straight Dora 1

Haneman

You don't have to glare at me like that...

"Hey, stop it!

The stripping time you've all been waiting for has come!

Aoi will pay up with three Strip Cards.

Two will be the "Outerwear" and "Top" already on the table.

Our winner, Mirai, will choose the remaining third card.

- Me? - Those are the rules.

OK... "Socks."

"Socks" it is! In this case, gartered stockings!

Hey, you! Cut it out!

Don't mind her. It's the game.

This woman... is married?

Aoi, please share how you feel right now.

Th-- this is illegal!

Yes, it probably is.

Ok, I hear you. I'll strip, I'll do it!

My my, such nice calves,

what you might call... a guilty pleasure!

Next, off with the top!

Well then...

Wait a second.

No, I can't wait...

Aah! Stop! Stop! No! Stop! Stop!

It may be embarrassing, but...

What's this? Ah tattoo of a peony tree!

Why'd you get something like that, Aoi-chan?

Don't look at me!

Strip Time is over...

The next hand will start with Misuzu! Nyan!

You won't forget this, you little bitch...

Round 1 Hand 2

Aww, it seems that Aoi bears a grudge against Mirai...

What kind of person is this woman?

Uh, um, can't we all get along?

We have to think of how we're all going to get out of here...

You let us know when you've figured that one out.

Come on, hurry up!

Huh?

Misuzu, what appears to be the problem?

I... won...

Closed Tsumo lipeiko

lipeiko! lipeiko! lipeiko!

It's an lipeiko!

I, I didn't mean to...

It's time for the three of you to take off one item!

Misuzu, please choose a Strip Card.
