heh so Hisa and Mihoko ended up battling. I really couldn't get into the matches since it jumped around a lot but it was still fun. I got a kick out of Kaori getting a kokushi musou from Touka. And Tomoki's smile afterwards was priceless.

Sucks that it didn't focus on Saki much but it looks like she gonna have some trouble against, who I'm assuming, the person Mutsuki faced.

and lol at Yuuki being day 1's leader. It's gonna be tough to figure out which 3 will qualify for Nationals.

Yup and Hisa remember her when she show her the blue eyes and how she played. That moment was good.
Haha that was also funny about Kaori that still have her beginners luck amd yeah I would also laugh about that since Touka said she won't fall for her play.
Agreed with you there. Tomoki's smile was priceless.

We already have seen so much about Saki game, that's probably why it won't focus so much of her.
Maybe her luck is increasing while playing with stronger opponents. I dunno but oh well she qualify to the final.
In the beginning she seem not to be happy there, okay just my thought.
We saw a lot of Yuuki there that she pwnd the players.

I wonder how this anime going to end. xD

Saki really just doesn't care that much about the individual tournament. Her main goal was to get to nationals and see her sister, which has already been accomplished. As soon as she heard that not everyone on her team was going to make it through, she started reverting back to holding back. I suspect Haramura is going to need to go verbally kick Saki's butt into gear again before Saki plays up to her potential.

The teasing of the Ryuumonbuchi team of Touka playing into the Kokushi Musou was hilarious, esp. Tomoki's contribution. Hehe. At least Hajime knows how to cheer her up. Speaking of Hajime, she played pretty well. She ended up 4th in the rankings. I think Hajime is a better player than Touka.

Hisa vs. Mihoko was pretty fun and cute.

As for the South Wind Girl, she almost has to match up with East Wind Yuki. Should be interesting and very close.

Saki's holding back cos she knows that not all of her team can go to the singles nationals...

I wanna see her do her +/- 0 thing again, and see everyone freak out that she can do that. This would've been the perfect place to do that, cos with Yuuki so far ahead, taking so many points, she probably would've ended up just inside the top 20 anyway. XD

This episode was a very nice touch for Hisa x Mihoko fans! An endless "Yay!" for them! Finally we saw the old rivals' re-battle and that was totally special.
Now I still want more from them.
I wonder if Hisa would notice her more from now on?

Also, I found it totally hilarious by the way Saki stumbled down and also Tomoki's smile was indeed priceless!
She finally got to stab those words back to Touka! LOL!

Gotta love Kaori in this episode too! She was totally funny with her play style and her cute slow talk.

And funny how Saki acted this episode. It totally wasn't like her and it's like she isn't taking the battles seriously at all. Like what others think too, Saki may get some scolding from Nodoka while reminding her of their promise.

I also ponder if that strange player that Mutsuki encountered was one of the demons Fujita pro stated before? It's possible that she'll be one of those players to proceed through the nationals.

Anyhow, I'm still eagerly anticipating the next episode!
This episode just totally pumped me up! Especially how they put up the Hisa x Mihoko scenes on this episode! Good thing Hisa finally remembered her! Hehehe!

I wonder how Saki going to handle that match while playing with that Mutsuki encountered.

Nodoka doesn't have the penguin and Saki don't have take of her shoes, it seem like they doesn't play seriously even thought they both play better that way.
Oh well looking forward to next episode xD

Well, no need to restate what everyone has already said it was really fun with all those scenes. I like how Hisa keeps changing her winning tile to get away from Mihoko but it was too late. Next episode we need to see that mystery girl in action.

Saki is on 24th with +183 .. so she's the last of Kiyosumi, Touka I suppose is not in the top30 but will get into it soon.
One could speculate who the incredible new player is, she should be somewhere on p12-14 or p17-23

In the national there is a team tournament and a individual tournament as well.
Saki's team will be the one representing the team tournament, as for the three who will represent the individual tournament are the one who will win this current tournament.

Saki will go to Tokyo and that's enough for her so because of her nature she would want people who don't have the chance to go to Tokyo to go at her place in the individual since one time is enough for her.

YAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!
Finally Hisa remembered Mihoko!
This episode made me feel soooooo happy and also made my day as a Hisa x Mihoko fan!

And also yeah like what maxime1007 said, I also feel like Saki is giving chances to others who weren't able to pass last time with the team tournament. Maybe so is Hisa, since I also think she wasn't playing seriously too, given that she didn't have her twin tails.

Also, if you're a Hisa x Mihoko fan, please join and let us know that you're one of us!
First 10 members (well, I'm included) will be given an Admin.
So far there are like 7 members right now.

I enjoyed Hisa and Mihoko's match, and I'm glad to see Hisa remembers Mihoko. I feel that Nodoka will scolds Saki after she finds out that Saki holds back since she won the team tournament that leads her to see her sister.

So Hisa finally remembered. And then said that Miko likely also forgot. Yeah, right. She called you by your old name. She countered your play style. YEAH, SHE DEFINITELY FORGOT. Well, human nature, I guess. Not accepting that you were the only one that forgot.
And Touka. All talks about going against Nodoka again, and her opponent this time ended up being the Tsuruga newbie. Well, my first thought was that "newbie's luck" is going to be busted...but well, Touka. Is "Touka'd" a thing?

Also, poor Kyoutaro. Disqualified in the very first round. Hm, wonder, how would a mixed-gender competition go (then again, knowing Kyoutaro's luck, he's likely gonna end up against Amae).

The Individual tournaments begins ~ !!
It looks like that "beginner's luck" is 'individually challenging' to touka .. she played into it .
The "specials" have the highest probabilities to advance on the next stage .. which if a "stead" one is good enough to make it to the nationals , I would in all likelihood, give an applaud .
Poor kyou .. a sudden elimination for him .. cheers though , became a labor of supplies .
Man .. one of the match that I've been waiting for !! Kazekoshi vs Kiyosumi; buchou round !!
Cerulean open !! Stoppage strings at the battle of tiles !!
Pretty great Episode !!! Moving to the finals !!

They finally capitalized on Yuki's forte, the only part I felt bad about was Kyou surpassing even the low expectations I had about his performance.


I didn't expect Hisa to actually forget about Mihoko.
