Episode was pretty good but disappointing match between Ai and Ika. Shark-tooth was built up as on of if not the strongest female player in the show but Ai straight up beat her barely breaking a sweat. This also mean's she just overcame Ginko as well in strength so she immediately rushes up the ladder as one of the strongest players in the show. Fun to see the main characters getting stronger but when its too rushed you lose out.

so this is why MC's semi-resistant to Female advances (even super cute girls) coming at him. As seen that MC doesn't really give much of a thought about having Girlfriends or even Marriage since episode 1... He pretty much stays at a neutral stance on those subjects.

The shark girl pretty much incorporated into him that naked girls are scary since she constantly breaks into his house naked and force him to have matches with her... So MC doesn't really think about Females as romance targets.

I think the hate Ika gets sh*t on with is kind of undeserved. Like she is a shitty antagonist and stuff. Such anime like Ryuuou, Saki... where they play against others some opponents seem kind of high and mighty and get fast declared as jerks. Yea Ika definitely has a shitty personality and thought a bit to much of herself but I'm pretty sure after losing now she will learn to be a better person that doesn't destroy others for her own fun and we will get a new funny character that will make Ginko-sama rage because Ika gets to close to Ryuuou.

I just wanted to say this bcs I always believe in the good parts of waifus! Also amazing episode, had a lot of laughter and this ending scene with Yaichi crying was beautiful.

I really hope for a continuation of this series even if people say no bus there are to many lolis or the characters are boring the only thing I say to them is: I accept ur opinion but I won't share it so let me enjoy what I enjoy and wish me luck with getting my wish fulfilled :D

Seeing the electric girl lose made me happy, not because shes a jerk or villain character or anything like that. I just thought she was just an overall bad character, shes too extreme and blatantly evil, and on top of that, she just kind of showed up out of nowhere and just didn't sit well with me.

Fantastic episode, loved how Ai completely dominated Ika at the end with that wonderful bluff. Super hyped for Yaichi's upcoming match.

Need more Sora in my life! Shes awesome. Super Beautiful too. And as always our MC is clueless lol. I like Tsundere Ai a lot more then 1st Ai. Shes funnier and cuter.

If this episode taught me anything, it's that Ika is a really lame and annoying person.

This is the first I have heard Haruka Tomatsu providing a voice to a character that sounds really sinister.

Anyways, if I'm not mistaken, Ika is not the only shark-tooth girl in the show.

I think there is a red-hair or orange girl with shark teeth as well (forgot her name though)

Match itself pretty weird dont quite get the ryuo staying static like bait? & how that's the only way Ika can win. Still intense tho.
Power levels don't make sense now... or is it power of love & happy birthday?

The part about the fight between Ika and Ai, was very exciting, and the rest is interesting, but I have the impression that the story has advanced too quickly, now the characters are all champions, Ugh! I love the treated treatments.
Ginko is turning out to be the best Yandere character of this 2018 winter season.

Yes. Ika is a bitch. I never want a bitch to win.

lol.. Well.. Ginko has a point with Ika.. It indeed were like date shougi between Yaichi and Ika, really..
Funny, how Ai agreed with Ginko's methods instantly, when she heard that it's to make Yaichi talk about his ex.. ;D
Ok, so Yaichi just naturally attracts yanderes at this point, it feels.. ;D

This Ika girl is almost as bad as a pushy bitch and in terms of power she wants Yaichi to herself like milking him out for matches

Ginko's getting a bit aggressive lately when Ika was really close to Yaichi and asked him what his answer was and then Ai came in and joined the heat of the moment and kindly went with it

But Ai miraculously defeated her and perfect timing for Yaichi's birthday gift from the two Ai's, Looks like they're going to Hawaii that swimsuit tho can't wait.

Are not they supposed to act kinda decent during the game? I thought shogi is quite traditional activity.
Ika screamed and acted like psycho the whole tornament and no official did or said something about it? Like disqualify or at least warn her?

I mean, don't stick your dick in crazy, but between lolis and Ika maybe Kuzu should've chose Ika.

I'm not sure why Kuzu is essentially crucifying Ika's playstyle. It takes all types. It seems like it'd be more interesting to have people who play differently than 10,000 player who all play the same. Isn't that the point of games? To come up with and implement different strategies? I feel like this series is starting to let the shogi aspects drop off so they can focus on the relationships.

The way Kuzu is at the moment I feel like he doesn't stand a chance of defeating the Meijin. Presumably he will need to call upon the hidden power of the lolis he's cultivated to amass the strength to win and retain his title.

Ika is a horrible person and I'm glad that she lost. Keika is a sweet person and I'm glad that she won. (Yay!)

Ai+Ai winning as a birthday present for Yaichi was cute. Seems Yaichi was touched by it.

Ika's craziness is sexy, in a way. For what it's worth, she doesn't actually seem like she wants to seduce Yaichi or anything, instead being solely interested in playing him at shogi.

My only problem so far with this anime is how maundering the romantic scenes are. I feel like they're never going to go anywhere, despite their high frequency.
