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 35: D'ARBY THE GAMBLER, PART 2
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 538...
540... No, page 556.
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 17th, 1986...
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 murder 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 bastard! 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 shit!
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!
