Gah maybe I need to get reading the manga right now. Anyone know what chapter the anime leaves off on for the manga?


About chapter 56 is where about they left off. While not exactly at the point where the anime left off. It helps cover some important details that happen during the training camp.

RPPuzzle said:
I didn't read all of this cause it looked to contain more spoilers, but I never thought Shizu was weak. Well not any weaker than I thought all of the people on their team were. I was seriously not impressed by Kuro or Yuu's matches; they were almost helpless babies, so I was thinking jeez do they all got major weaknesses like that?


Actually Kuro was the only one who did poorly in her match against Teru and Toki. While Yuu actually easily beat Izumi both times. And Yuu hasn't got the draw back of not receiving red tiles when she discards one, like Kuro does with her dora

RPPuzzle said:
As for Arata, well she seemed average/nothing special til this episode. Though now that FunaQ's figured her out, I'm worried for how well she'll do.


Don't forget that Arata can change her style and not have to rely on her bowling wait style, but also her using multiple pinzu waits means her style is not restrictive as Kuro's ability, which forces Kuro to have a predictable style.

RPPuzzle said:
I suppose all of that said, Gamer40000's got a point on why they performed so poorly. But I think relying too much on predictable play is too much of a weakness. That's why I think Saki's screwed with her technique seemingly being exclusively rinshan when she's trying to win.


Do you mean my point about Toki targeting Kuro and Achiga then having to play catch up.

RPPuzzle said:
Though Scheh, you say Shizu wasn't intimidated by Saki's presence, but as far as I remember, I think she was along with everyone else


No only Kuro and Harue were the ones to metaphorically completely shit their pants, while Shizu was the one who wasn't affected at all by Saki's presence.

RPPuzzle said:
Also I have a question, even if Achiga can't win against Shiraitodai in the semifinals, if they come in second, they go to the team finals right?


Yes, that's correct, the teams in 1st and 2nd go through to the finals.

So gud. Shirouzu was beyond awesome, even though I thought she was a masochist at first. Arata was awesome. FunaQ was awesome. TOKI! :D I'm so happy. But...RYUUKA'S MATCH IS NEXT EPISODE! F*CK YEAAAH! I wonder when 15 will be released :(

Ah ok good so because first and second place go through it doesn't make Achiga-hen entirely pointless :).

Thanks for letting me know where to start. Now just to find the time.

True Yuu did hold her own pretty well, Kuro not so much, but like you mentioned yeah Toki targeting Kuro is probably why she didn't do very well. I dunno that game was weird...I feel like even though Toki could see the future she couldn't do much to stop it? Yeah guess the discard a dora and be unable to get them back can be a really big handicap. Yuu doesn't have a problem like that like you said, so she's able to adapt better.

Right Arata's flexible, but as far as I can tell right now, it's either the pin waits or Harue's style. FunaQ's familiar with both, so I'm thinking things aren't looking good for Arata.

Dah...well guess I saw that scene incorrectly then. So Shizu might be as much of a monster as Saki then since she didn't feel her presence? Then again...Saki felt Koromo's presence, so why wouldn't Shizu register Saki's? On the same note, why didn't Saki sense Shizu's presence? Is it cause Shizu's ability is like DBZ and her power level rises as the situation warrants it? Any other time it's just normal?

It isn't. AT-X has had their entire Feb schedule up for a couple of weeks and it isn't on there. If they're "roughly every 5 weeks" rather than "at the end of every month" it'll be out in the first week of March.

RPPuzzle said:

If any course of action leads to failure (which is perfectly possible in mahjong) then just knowing what tiles are where (which is basically what Toki's ability is) doesn't do anything.

RPPuzzle said:

FunaQ is only relevant if both Senriyama and Achiga reach the finals, which is rather unlikely. Otherwise, it's considerably more likely for FunaQ to share data with Achiga than with Shiraitodai/Shindouji. It's one of the ways that Achiga could, realistically, increase their abilities before the finals.

Yeah in the quarter finals Toki pretty much made it impossible for Kuro to do tsumo wins.

Well thing is, Hiroko plays by analyzing players abilities/play styles and attacks the weak points, like what she did with Seiko. But Arata's play style is not as easy to read as Seiko's.

Well Shizu still felt Sak'si presences, its just a case of she wasn't affected by it like the others were.

Saki didn't feel Shizu's presences because only monster players give off auras that other players can feel.

If Shizu wants to win Saki, she'll need a big powerup, remember Achiga couldn't win Ryuumonbuchi at their training camp.

Story-wise, yeah Kiyosumi doesn't have to win the team tournament, we just need a showdown between Teru and Saki. Maybe Teru will still win the individuals and Kiyosumi the team, or reverse but I highly doubt Achiga will win the team.

Manga is finishing in next chapter mid March! :O

EEEHHH?! No more Saki manga? But but...you could extend like Saki's next year of high school with Nodoka! There is much sadness in thinking there will be no more Saki ;_;. Sob head...some freaking more developments better happen between Nodoka and her before then! (NO SPOILERS THO!)

Oh good *breath of relief*. I mean I guess it's gotta end eventually like Yu-Gi-Oh did, but even Yu-Gi-Oh (closest comparison I can think of in popularity and being based around a game) had 343 chapters before it ended. Think Saki's somewhere between 150-200, so yeah.

They're probably trying to keep us entertained with these specials until it's time for the 2nd season of Saki airs. Most likely they don't want another huge gap of animation to happen again like between the 1st series and Side-A had.

The air dates of the specials have nothing to do with when the 2st season will air.

Apparently the manga for Achiga-hen has concluded it's semi-finals now, so it's pretty much ended. The continuation will probably continue while being merged with the original Saki. :D

I'm still waiting patiently for the last 2-3 episodes.

This anime is amazing!! Continue doing these series and you will have my eternal gratitude!!! :)

I've always been a fan of Saki, so this made my day. It's good to get to see Toki again after her absence in the last episode, though Toki being a fairy to Ryuuka was a little weird. Even though I have now idea how to play majong or what the moves are, I still enjoy watching the suspense and their powers while they play against each other.
