All vs. Saki, that is really not nice.
I thought of other match-ups, but this one looks promising. South round Nanpo doesnt have 'the' incredible playing style I wished, but as a counter to Yuuki it worked :v

Well if they try to play usually game then Saki get what she want, oh well it's looks in the previews Saki figure out how to make her the kong.
Saki was holding back the whole tournament and play +-0 again and Nodoka blame her for holding back and told her about they promise, oh that's so funny. It was bad of you to forget about the promise. :(
If Saki didn't hold back from beginning she probably be the one that become 1st overall and not Yuuki.
I wonder when Saki going to play with Kazue or did that already past. Yuuki got pwnd when she changed to South. :P

I wonder if Saki can see Momoko in stealth mode now.

Also next previews she play with Mihoko once again and let's see how she going to deal with her.

Damn. Another laughable episode.

I just can't stop laughing whenever Momo plays. Her ability is the most amazing in multiple ways, and it's the only one that seems to extend outside of just Mahjong, which is why I find it amusing.

Saki getting plus/minus zero again was kinda cool.
It'd be cool if Saki was just like "I don't need Kans" and wins with other hands and scares everyone. :\

In the previews she was able to win with a Kan in this last match and almost wonder myself how they going to do with episode 24 and 25, don't tell me they going to do fast game with her sister or something like that then I would go crazy haha, but they probably meet in Tokyo.

Saki still have chance to qualify to national in this tournament, like everyone else. In this tournament it's look like they teasing Saki

1st: Mihoko (She qualify for sure, look at her leading points.
2nd: Kazue
3rd: Unknown (:S)

since there is no way to beat Saki , stopping her kongs is the only way to win, and the only way to stop her kongs is to gang up on her so i wouldnt say that they are being unfair

Triple-teamed! Oh, that was a fun entendre. Anyways, Saki being the way that she is, being the main character and such, she's going to somehow figure it out and beat everyone.

Hahaha Momoko just did what she shouldn't have. Sure she think to have an advantage now but she just breaked the straight zone that they were making to hold Saki off.
They are playing low hand giving them low point, it would need only one big hand from Saki to win the game and Momoko just opened a way to that, when playing against Saki that's what I call suicide.

I'm expecting Saki to win this match but I wouldn't be surprised if, after all, she let Hisa win without nobody noticing.

Kyoutarou has a crush on Mihoko? lol. At first i thought that it was Saki who was dreaming about Nodoka... xD

Everyone against Saki was a very nice match-up. Though, I love how Momoko goes into 'Stealth Mode' in the end of the episode since I was waiting for her to do that

Ooh, I can't wait for the next episode! Also, Tsuruga ED. xD

Me too^^, but it's just Kyou-chan <3 big tits :P

I don't think they won't let Saki go to the nationals, because it's a possibility to face her sister twice. It may probably end with Saki needs to Ron Hisa with some incredible hand (yakuman?), with which she will win but Hisa doesn't have the chance to qualify anymore :v

I'm really hoping the author of this series is male, cos if a female wrote this series where EVERY FRIGGIN' FEMALE IS A CLOSET LESBIAN (except for taco's), then I will be extremely disturbed.

Frankly, this episode disappointed compared to previous ones, the beginning was win, until they came out of the dream and just had the pathetic sleeping Kyoutaro.

Also, why the hell does Nodoka have to ruin everything? LET SAKI PLAY THE +-0 GAME! It's awesome shit, and would get everyone talking about her rather than the winners in any case.

The reason Nodoka want Saki to play seriously since is not fun to people holding back in my case I would think the same, holding back and not playing seriously is just boring and yet nobody have notice about it without looking at her score.

I would like Hisa to win. But I'm guessing Saki will. This would give her a real chance in facing her sister alone in the case that they lose the team tournament or that Saki doesn't get matched up with her sister in the team tournament.

pff... some1 was right about saki holding back becoz not every1 can go to national...

1st mihoko is sure to win
2nd nodoka is going steady (i hope she lose and give other chance to go to national but i know that is quite impossible...)
3rd kazue (dont u dare to lose easily, that will be very disappointing...>.<)

argh... yumi, touka, hajime, kana and others... what happens to u all?!

o.o looks like mutsuki and kaori got disqualified... (looks like newbie luck didnt help kaori much XD)

Those three are far from being weak player even if they aren't nationnal level they can take Saki down as long as they team up. Momoko betrayed the alliance when she had the most to gain and thus leading the match right now.
That is enough for Saki to do a yakuman and take the lead, Momoko think that she's safe but she's far from it.
Pretty much stupid imo, they could have holded Saki all the way if it wasn't for Momoko.

Just picked up this series and watched trough all 22, not the best anime I've seen especially not when you only know the basic rules of mahjong =P

It's the moe and subtle yuri that keeps things interesting ;)

Though I must say I really hate that Momoko character and her "abillity", it's totally unrealistic and laughable.
I mean come on, there are 4 peoples sitting around a ~1x1meter table and the whole game is more or less to keep track of your opponents moves and discards, so I hardly think anyone would just "forget" the forth player and their tiles.

Well it's true that you don't know well mahjong =/. Saki's ability is way more impossible that Momoko's, the chance to do what she do is ridiculously low. Take a dice, roll it and get around 1000 time the same number and you wouldn't even be near what it would take to do what Saki did versus Koromo.

Well yeah but that goes for the most things everyone in this series does, they all have the devils luck.

Though still it's more "realistic" to call it just that 'luck', instead of having some on and off stealth mode like a RPG rogue.

I mean there are some peoples here in the real world that seems to have unrealistic high percentage of luck, I know for a fact that a friend of mine is like that.
He always seems to be getting the best hands in poker (well any card game) and while playing Yahtzee it's like the dices respond to his command and always gives him what he need =S

Needles to say it's not very fun to play against him because he win most of the time :P

Please, don't compare Saki's luck with your friend's, they are world apart XD.
Between Momoko power is not to become invisble but to go unnoticed that's different, she don't have control over it but she take advantage of it. This exist in real life at a lower degree, Momoko is an extreme to it.

Yeah I guess your right.
But still it just feels to unreal for me =P

Especially in this episode when she more or less turns it on and just disappears from everyones vision.
Someone having luck beyond comparison is still more plausible than three peoples just suddenly forgets about you and your tiles because you wish it too be so.

At least for me it is xD

It was good episode. I knew that Saki was holding back until Nodoka told her to play seriously. I hope that Hisa wins because she is so awesome. Mihoko will have 1st place since she have more leading points. As for 2nd and 3rd place, Saki = 2nd and Nodoka = 3rd

I think out of everyone Stealth Momo is my least favorite.
It is not as if one can actually make it so that their tiles appear as nothing,
so I can't stand the idea. Everyone at that table is high level players
there is no way they would be tricked into not noticing her tiles.

I completely agree. I can let myself believe that most of the players have a special skill, like Saki's kans, Kazekoshi's captain's eye, Yuuki being strong during the east round, being able to sense the "flow" of the match, etc.

But actually turning invisible when there are only four players, you are all sitting in a circle, and they KNOW you are there makes no sense to me. Especially the part about her discards also disappearing. They are obviously going to be looking at them. They wouldn't just not be there.

Kyou fantasies though .. haha !!
The battle for the top three scorers for the national tournaments commence !!
The newcomer of the south , wins from a fast and 'windy' style of diversion !!
So that's the reason why saki is just playing nicely and fine .. well , It did sounded sensible and If I were her , I also will choose the losing way but a promise is a promise , break it or fix it .
Enjoying the serious mode of everyone .. It's gonna be amazing ~ !!
Scheme for the Straight zone !! A hat trick that opposes kan combos !!
Vanishing Actuality !! The shallow moves from Stealth Momo !!
Pretty Great Episode !!! concealed sights !!
