I think I have become to used to Senriyama and Shindouji because I actually didn't like it when Kuro finally managed to win that last hand on Teru. Now I really wish that it was Senriyama-hen or something D:
Their meeting with Nodoka was too short too.

Finally, Achiga reclaim their show.. umm.. for about half of an episode

Maybe I can begin the process of re-liking Achiga again lol

Toki and Hanada are simply SUBARA~

Nodoka & the Achiga girls meeting was disappointing. Had expected more out of it. Finally Toki! Took you 3 episodes! Yes, I was waiting for Toki to collapse for more Toki x Ryuuka.

Good job Kuro. You managed to do something while crying for the entire f*cking match. I like her, but this was too much. Felt like Kana's match against Koromo. I hope Yuu doesn't end up acting like her.

A's will probably end with the semifinals since it has 3 episodes left. Then they'll probably make a new season for the finales. Or an ova/movie.

So no more Teru for now :) show will become watchable again

and now Achiga can start to move into second place and keeping it - they are not too far away from it (and title of show makes it rather clear who will be second team)

I hope she is all right.

I guess this will be the end, there is no more preview.

Is it confirmed there is 15 episodes?

Can we start with Saki now? :D


Yes it is confirmed. There is a thread somewhere about it in the News forum. And MAL lists 15 episodes now.

Kuro finally made a move and a very nice one at that since she was scared most of the match.
And Toki pushing herself beyond her own limits and it seems to be at a heavy cost this can't be good for her teams moral just look at her underclassman which is about to have a match.
Speaking about next match it seems Yuu has a pretty fierce opponent in front of her.

Also about Toki not the name but the word doesn't it mean time in Japanese or at least has a meaning with time?

Wondering about the last three episodes will the be aired in the next three weeks or will they be aired later?
Since they where announced a few weeks ago.

Yep, there's toki time, hence the TokiToki, but her name herself doesn't mean time...

Nope, there's no specific time/schedule set yet.

Aah! what a disappointing ending! Not really but it ended in a cliff hanger and it's disappointing to me since next week we won't know! They hyped up the sergeant match and I really want to know what Teru's lesbian partner's power is!

Also, why were everyone surprised at Shiraitodai lineup? It was on Tvtropes character page weeks ago lol.

When is the next 3 episodes going to be shown? I hope it's not included in the DVD! And I hope it won't take a YEAR like Bakemonogatari!

Incidentally, did anyone else notice Teru's arm thing fade when Kuro went against her predictions? Does that mean that her power was broken (if at least only briefly) by someone defying her expectations? Would she then need another round to re-observe them?

Because if so that presents a rather obvious way to beat her - completely switching your playing style every few hands. There are several players who have done that as a matter of course already.

Toki with those Triple Accels, you don't have Avalon inside you girl. Gotta be more careful lol. Impressive win by Kuro too, surpassing Teru's expectations sure is something.

Of course their meeting with Nodoka would be so short, from the beginning Shizuno planned to meet her in the finals. No happy times till then.

Anyway, now to wait for those extra episodes.

Not really.
Toki being hospitalized doesnt lower their chances at staying in 2nd place since she wouldn't have played a second time anyways.

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.

That makes sense, but I feel like Ryuuka will not let Toki play against Teru for a second time.

Yes there is 4 aka doras: One of each set + another one from one of the three sets.

Achiga will go to final, that's a given. That would like be making the MC of a shounen die before he even get to fight the last boss.
Because even if Teru is the last boss figure for Kiyosumi's cast, Saki is the last boss figure for Achiga's cast.
The only way this can end without rendering both manga pointless is by making both Shiraitodai and Achiga to the final.
Even though I prefere Senriyama over Achiga, they won't make it to final, deal with it.

That's most likely her only weakness, yeah. She moves according to what she beleive you will do instead of what would be the best. Fooling her is probably the best thing someone could do against her.
Still you cannot play against Teru with digital style and having multiple occult style is not something common.

I do not think that she need her mirror again, the moment you fool her she'll adjust so the same trick will not work twice. Even if she do have to use her miror again, it's not like she'll erase the first style you played with.
Also I beleive that if she wanted, she wouldn't have to re-mirror someone even if se play them latter, as long as they do not modify their playstyle of course. (And thus it is safer to mirror every game).

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

The meeting was a death flag! They already met Nodoka, gtfo. Senriyama to the finals!

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.

Yuuki (tacos) - Teru

Tacos will get Chuuren Pootoo-ed by Teru, it's a given. On Chuuken match, Rinkai will shine
- Although I think this discussion is better being left at the National Tournament discussion.

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. 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 ;__;

Now I think about it, the hand could be bigger than 16,600 points... The staff totally forgot about ura-doras (the dora beneath the original dora) when Kuro won that hand. Considering her specialty is gathering all the doras, if she can manage to take in 1 or 2 dora (her hand was originally 10 han- baiman), it would make her hand 24,600 points instead of 16,600. Iif that happens Senriyama would've end up third and the story would get more in the track of the "Achiga-hen" line.

What are you talking about?
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...
