| GeeGee!!!! so glad Kuro at least got one hand!,but i agree kinda expected more out of their Reunion. |
 |
| Okay, someone enlighten me, please. Akado got a direct hit on Kokaji with a baiman and yet she is the one being completely traumatized? Did Akado get hit-ed with dealer yakuman by Sukoyan or something after that? >:D Don't mind me- So apparently: 1. Sukoyan lead with much points: 2. She somehow pays with a hand more expensive than haneman 3. She still win and become THE Champion before being THE Grand Master. :D |

| Amazing! I really liked the episode. I cried with Ryuuka ;-; and almost got a heart attack in the first minutes, too much cuteness! The meeting was a death flag! They already met Nodoka, gtfo. Senriyama to the finals! Where's my Kazoe Yakuman, I want my money back! Finally Sumire's turn! Oohoshi_Awai said: Confirmed lineup: I'm really looking forward to the Taishou match! I don't care about Shizu, but Awai, Ryuuka and Himeko!! |
HacheKa said: I don't care about Shizu, but Awai, Ryuuka and Himeko!! Poor Shizu :( |
| There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do. |
| Finally, Kuro is useful! But poor Toki T__T More impressions (and a lot of screenshots) here: http://randomc.net/2012/07/01/saki-achiga-hen-episode-of-side-a-12-end/. Enjoy! |

I don't care about Shizu, but Awai, Ryuuka and Himeko!! That's what I'm thinking too! Kuro will be useless on the final, an Toki/Kirame is more useful if Senriyama/Shindouji will advance. >:D And besides, Achiga's goal is only to meet Nodoka, and they won't be able to play her anyways, since the one who will fight Nodoka is Arata, who doesn't care about her, LOL. Nobody cares about the monkey. :P Awai (SuperNova) vs Ryuuka (True Dragon Lord) vs Himeko (Shindouji's Ace) The match I can't wait for... :D ... Well, actually Taishou Finals is what I want to see the most, but don't we all. :P |

| I was expecting a bigger hand from Kuro and I agree, the encounter with Nodoka was really... lackluster. Nodoka wasn't surprised at all to see them. And I've never seen Kuro look so serious after she declared Riichi, though I much prefer her this way. |
| hmmm so that means.....if (when) shiraitodai and kiyosumi makes it to the finals it'll be like this? Yuuki (tacos) - Teru Mako - Sumire Hisa - Takami Nodoka - Seiko Saki - Awai I wonder how that would (is gonna) turn out? |

On Chuuken match, Rinkai will shine As for Achiga going for the finals or not, they will still be cannon fodders anyways, they're just MCs for a freaking side story. And still lacked Shindouji's backstory so they might advance. :P |

| Finally after 2 and half episode of getting her ass handed to her, Kuro finally does somthing, Poor Toki doing all the work and is now in such bad shape. |
| FINALLY. Geez, making me waiting like that, Kuro. I want Shindouji to advance, like hell I want to watch another vanguard with Toki struggling to defeat Teru(or whoever Senriyama use to sub a hospitalized Toki). It'll be Kiyosumi's moments. I'm sure Hisa will give Yuuki some pointers about Teru anyways. Kirame needs to be at the final table, to buy enough time for Yuuki to make a comeback. Kuro can be useful too, if she doesn't start discarding dora in the finals, that is. That's like giving Teru free doras, ah poor Yuuki and other finalist schools' vanguards ;__; Oohoshi_Awai said: As for Achiga going for the finals or not, they will still be cannon fodders anyways, they're just MCs for a freaking side story. Forgetting something? Senriyama too. They aren't even MCs for a freaking side story ;P Oohoshi_Awai said: Tacos will get Chuuren Pootoo-ed by Teru, it's a given. THIS, I CANNOT TOLERATE. HOW DARE YOU UNDERESTIMATE YUUKI, ONE OF THE REAL MAIN CHARACTERS. Anyways, it's Sumire's turn now ;P and, this scene.. |

It's a given Miyanaga-cest ending... :P And Nodoka will move somewhere, probably in Achiga, while Saki moves to Shiraitodai. Oh and for those thinking that Kuro's score should be higher: 1. Toki has counted it by herself so that Teru will drop Kuro's winning tile-so Kuro didn't tsumo, that will get her, um, a sanbaiman, 'nuff said. 2. Kuro doesn't get ura-dora. Proof: Toki's 1st winning hand. Oh and the Shindouji's jibou's name is Yoshiko. And it looks like Himeko is 1st year... -Yfw all the finals' taishou is 1st year -Awai, Saki, Himeko, Nelly - way to go, upper classman. |

| With all the talk of ura-dora I realized that even if Kuro could attract ura-dora, she wouldn't get any because she had just discarded a dora. |
Oh my god... Why I think of this Gundam reference when I see Toki do that... |
| Ok I've got a question here, once you fixed the line up for the tournament you cant change it anymore? I've always thought that saki would go against teru since they tried to build up so many of this family problem thing in saki anime. If she's not gonna go against Teru it'd felt like a let down, to me, at least. Back onto the episode, well i loved how they build up the game step by step to allow kuro to win, toki played the biggest part here with her triple accel and i had teary eye when i saw that poor girl collapsed :( Subara did her part well by following up toki's play, and i really love how they portrayed everybody's feeling at the end of the match. Good stuff indeed! Teru seemed so cold blooded there, standing still while watching Toki collapsed D: Now i really cant wait for the extra episode, especially the daishou match, gonna be epic with those lineups! Now i'm aching to play some mahjongs lol, anyone plays mahjong online? :3 |

You should join the mahjong club on MAL, you'll probably find some people that want to play. |

sarroush said: Toki being hospitalised lowers the teams moral and the teams will be worked about her which could lead to mistakes which could cost them second place.argee said: If Senriyama did end up second, who will play senpu in the finals since Toki is Hospitalized or they can Forfeit or send a subtitute player? Depends how long Toki would be hospitalized. And from what I remember, you can have a sub. So if they stayed in second, it would still work out. However, the fact that Toki is hospitalized does not lower their chances of staying in second place, because she wouldn't be playing again until the finals. So it does lower there chances of getting second place. Senriyama has a big mahjong club so they will have a few substitutes as well so they won't have to drop out if the achieve second place. |
| I didn't know that Yuki has so many fans. I'm not a big fan of tacos girl, except for all the Nodoka's breast jokes. Stop fighting ppl, Komaki Eusui will be the next champion. Mikos are love. I'm trying to say something about Achiga to stop the off topic but I can't. Oneechan is very cute, isn't she? Warning: It may cause a heart attack. |
| something is buging me again... doesn't Tsuruga's character and Shindojijoshi's just look alike? WAhahaha~Subara! |

Aversa said: Gustavus Adolphus, king of Sweden, was killed in the middle of the battle of Lützen. The Swedes were losing badly up to that point, but they were apparently so pissed at their king's death they rallied and beat the crap out of the opposing Imperial army.Toki being hospitalised lowers the teams moral and the teams will be worked about her which could lead to mistakes which could cost them second place. It's unknown what the dead king thought of this. Anyway, not sure I can make a logical connection here, but given how aggressive and militant these girls are about a game, I'd certainly not want to face any of them on a battlefield ;) |

| How and when do we get the remaining episodes? |
| lol. i already know that kuro will threw away her Dora, cause thats the only things that make her Do something that Toki or everyone else (except Saki and some other people) Can't Do.. that is Breakin away From Teru's shoumakyou. ah.. i kinda dissapointed with the ways Nodaoka and Shizu cs meet. i hope for some more "Dramastic" meetin.. like when they standin up on the final o some meeting or something (like what they do on the first day of national).. then when achiga's name called and nodoka pulled her "i know that name" face .. and finally, They meet.. :lol: |

Nobody cares about the monkey. :P Nah, You only judge Kuro base on her past self who can’t discard Dora (which limited her play style and being one of her main weakness) but right now she is new person. Kuro’s playstyle right now more flexible and more comfortable to play in cooperate with other players. Kuro’s skill is not that bad either I think she can read the game pretty well. In the past, she just got ron-ed often because of the limitation of her discard. Kuro, Yuki and other school needs to help each other to survive Teru in final round anyway. Oh, and one more thing……… It should be mentioned as well that in semi-final she played more carefully than in quarterfinal as she only got ron-ed for only three time (1,000 1,300 and 10,300) though out the game that like *3 longer than the quarterfinal. If she was the old one in quarterfinal, she would already get ron to death by both Teru and Toki. (Yes, it true that Teru win with Tsumo more, but if Kuro hand was easy to read as you thought, she should get Ron more often than this right?) See? She showed an improvement. Don’t try overlook it ^^ |

| It's always dangerous to have the main villain defeated before the final fight, but I think it was done right here. It took three girls ganging up on her, one literally throwing away her usual style and one almost sacrificing herself. If anything, Teru only learned from this and will be stronger when Saki finally confronts her. Teru was surprised and for a second seemed like she was worried for Toka, I think she has used up all her non-stoic faces until the finale. A very good episode, my only problem is that the focus will now probably shift back to Achiga. Meeeeh. 5/5. Rest in peace Toki, you will be remembered. |

| Given that noone has commented on it, I am assuming there was no news in Saki chapter 99 on the remaining anime episodes, and that we are going to have to wait for the release of the achiga-hen chapter for info? |

(Though, had the match goes even further than this, Toki would have been... T_T) I prefer to wait till I've seen the dismembered body and and, preferably, a full coroner's report, before I assume a character is dead, and even then if magic is involved you can never rest easy. |

| Kuro is so strong when she discards a Dora.. or is she? or maybe it just happened that her opponents let their guard down? wait? those two helped her |
My Grandmother Always said.. He who walks through the path of heaven will rule over everything.. |
00_Raiser said: RyutoShikimori said: Kuro is so strong when she discards a Dora.. or is she? or maybe it just happened that her opponents let their guard down? wait? those two helped her The Dora skill is actually a bad skill...(Since getting Dora and unable to throw dora sets a backfire to tenpai) But if force backfire at last round and it is against those who saw the weakness and strengths of the skill(In this case, Teru, who riichi'd), it can become a strong skill which cause the player unable to change their wait for Dora goodness if they riichi. With the strengths of the skill and the backfire of it, it can become a good defense against people who riichi and ron you. With the help of Toki and Kirame, Kuro can get a direct hit course against Teru, who already got her guard down heavily due to riichi. Imo, Since the beginning of Saki we have been shown many kinds of power but there's one thing that always has been clear: Their style is reflected by their personalities and their past, basically everything that make them what they are as a human being. Peoples change, styles change, powers evolve. I think that this match gave us enough clue. Toki praticed her double turn many times without having any decent result yet in this semi-final match she manage to use her double turn many times and even went as far as using a triple turn twice. The reason is because this match was important for her, power evolve when you evolve as a person. Kuro used to play mahjong with her mother and her sister when they were little. Her mom always told her to cherish the doras, which she did. Later her mother died and even later the friends she made went away and she always was getting more and more alone. Her playstyle perfectly reflect that, she doesn't want to let go of what she hold dear because she's scared of being left alone, scared of losing it forever. But then the Achiga girls came back and she has been surrounded with what she beleived she had lost. In that last hand she made the point with her feeling and discarded a dora beleiving that it would return to her, just like her friends did. She grew as a person and she faced her strongest fear, she now beleive that whatever will happen the things she hold dear will return to her. I beleive that Kuro's playstyle evolved with her at the same time. If a player playstyle really to reflect their personalities then there's no reason why she would be affected by any drawback of her abilities. She's not scared of discarding a dora as she beleive it will return to her and so I beleive that she can now discard dora whenever she please. That abilities is indeed ridiculously strong but the next match is the final and god knows how everyone that sit on that table will be at least as strong as that. Achiga is now in no position to be a worthy opponent on the final table and I beleive that everyone will become stronger by the time the final start so that they can stand their own against the strongests teams. |

Balakirev said: *** My prediction: I do not think this will happen like that at all. Actually I do not think Teru is another case of "Oh please play me seriously otherwhise I'll be sad". Also I doubt that the Saki/Teru family problem is related to mahjong. Saki want to talk to Teru through mahjong because she didn't managed to do it when she went to visit her but I do not think that the problem itself is related to mahjong. |
