In NANBAKA season 1 episode 9 titled "You're Empty!!", we see the continuation of the New Year's tournament where prisoners from each block compete against each other. In this episode, the tournament focuses on a game called "Egg Roulette".

The game involves each contestant selecting an egg from a basket, some of which are hard-boiled while others are raw. The contestants then take turns cracking the egg on their forehead, and the one with the raw egg loses. The winner gets a point, and the first one to reach five points wins.

The first match is between Jyugo from cell 13 and Hajime, the guard supervisor. The game starts with both of them cracking boiled eggs on their head, but Hajime gets a raw egg on his second turn, losing the round. Jyugo takes the lead, and they continue to play.

The second match is between Nico from cell 13 and Rock from cell 5. Nico insists on playing the game without using his hands, which he believes will give him an advantage. He is right, and he wins the match, much to the surprise of everyone.

The third match is between Uno from cell 13 and Trois from cell 2. Uno takes an early lead, but Trois catches up, and they are tied at 4-4. In the final round, both of them get a raw egg, but Uno is declared the winner as his egg broke first.

In the fourth match, Seitarou from cell 13 faces off against Kenshirou from cell 4. Seitarou gets a raw egg on his second turn, but he continues to play despite the pain. He is determined to win, but Kenshirou beats him with a point-blank range shot.

The final match is between Musashi from cell 5 and Tsukumo from cell 13. Musashi plans to use his martial arts skills to win the game, but to his surprise, Tsukumo also has some tricks up his sleeve. The game is intense, and both of them get raw eggs several times. However, Tsukumo wins the match in the end, proving that he is not just a computer program, but also a talented player.

Apart from the tournament, we also see Hajime's backstory in this episode. As a child, Hajime was abandoned by his mother and left alone in the woods. However, he was rescued by a kind-hearted man named Mitsuru who took him in and gave him a home. Hajime grew up to become a skilled fighter, and he decides to join the prison to help maintain order.
