It seems Souya isn't against Rei's company.. He even waits for him at 20:56.. Nice to see.. ;P Wonder, if maybe Rei and Souya will become friends in the future.. Or will spend more time together from time to time.. Would be interesting to see..
It seems Rei and Souya think similar at times.. Not in everything.. But at times..

This episode made me tear up and I'm not entirely sure why. Also, is Souya actually deaf? It would explain so many things ... Wow ...


Souya has "acquired deafness" so that's why he can speak normally because once you learn to speak during childhood you don't forget unless you have a stroke or brain damage that destroys language and memory ability and Shogi player certainly have some of the best working memory capacity on the planet like Chess players who memorize thousands of games and situations.

Regardless of speaking ability communication for Souya is done through Shogi....why waste mental energy on the sounds people are making when you can't hear so it would much less stressful is not trying read lips and remembering the sound of the words. For Souya sound except those tiles being placed on the wood is white noise....those are only sounds he cares about.

Didn't know I needed this, but Rei and Souya just waiting out a typhoon is just another thing that keeps making this anime better and better

Good job Kiriyama. He put up a good fight , even after making the move that eventually cost him the match. Seems he enjoyed his match against Souya. Everyone expected Souya to win , but they were impressed with Kiriyama's abilities as well

i think rei and souya are speaking in a language all their own.
