i think kyoko have the opposite effect than she wanted. instead making him miserable, she makes him realize the player before him is human too. rei shouting was exciting emotional moment. this anime knows how to do it.

in fact, i would figure out kyoko is investigating every rei's match would make rei oppose her, but it seems he can't just do it.

The ending was incredible and meaningful. Chapter 21 was adapted perfectly even though I’ve never seen the source material

Gaslighting and guilt tripping whore.
I know the beast lives in me, it's a rampaging beast that bits of everything in sight to survive. When battle begins, no matter What its hand reaches out for the path of survival even if it means misery for others

the best scene so far imo

I am so glad I am rewatching this. The first time it felt so boring.

The hardest part of becoming a professional at anything... accepting the dreams of those you crushed along the way to get there.

For how much cozy bullshit this show has it really does go hard on its piece of shit characters too. Like, Kyouko 100% molested Rei. Seems like maybe the author got cold feet about it as an overt plotline but at this point its not really even subtext that she did it at least once. And as much as I'd love to see Rei just take her down there wouldn't be much of a show if he could easily do that.

Great episode, the best so far.
Yasui's bitchass attitude smfh...taking out his losses out on other people. I can understand it but cmon. Man up and accept it instead of drinking booze to death. Was it necessary to violently grab the bag from Rei like that?
Rei's outburst was real fr, highlight of the episode for sure.

Why does Kyouko know so much about these shogi players anyway? Is she just researching them simply to torment Rei, getting back at him or whatever? that's some DIO level hating.
man.

What's this feeling? This unparalleled hate. I hate the sister. Every second she appears on screen she sticks out, like a piece of shit that's fallen into a glass of milk.

I feel so bad for Rei. He knows he cant just lose even if it means the other person will feel and act terrible. Kyouko really knows how to make him feel bad.

What a banger of an episode, also the hate for his sister keeps growing. What an awful person she is, all she does is just making him feel bad because she failed as a person herself
