Damn, I felt bad for Ginko this episode. The way that Yaichi treated him is really unacceptable and the fact that he made her cry...

However, there's a lot of psychology going on this episode especially in his head. With just one more episode left, it's inevitable that he'll have a big mountain to climb to overcome his struggles. Oh well, at least he manages to apology to Ai.

Meanwhile, Keika faced against a challenging opponent on her own.

Ginko will never be number one for Yaichi and she should know that already. He doesn't need a yandere like her.

Ai's desire to cheer up Yaichi ended up making herself ill huh the poor girl. Losing that many rounds sure has made Yaichi forget his true reason for playing shogi. When faced with this even the usually icy Ginko ended up crying eh. Keika's match really was something. She really has become strong. Keika's win finally managed to get through Yaichi's haze. The scene where Yaichi and Ai hugged really was heartwarming and her wish was a powerful one. At last both of Yaichi's disciples have become pro players. The ceremony certainly didn't represent a pre match event though but more like a marriage. Ginko's death glare lol. Can't wait to see how this ends in the final episode.

It was a bad idea for Ginko to talk to Yaichi. Congrats to Keika for winning, she did a good job. That ceremony made it look like that Yaichi and Ai got married lol. Congrats to both of them.

Keika vs Eternal Queen Match is the match between Ichiyo Shimizu and Kana Satomi.

Confusing episode. How does a speech that emphasizes the value of hard work not totally justify how Yaichi has been acting the past episodes? He just hears it and magically he grows a conscience like hes Jerry Mcguire or some shit. Ill have to rewatch that scene.

Once again Ginko confirms that she is shit and always will be. He tells her to go away and she insists on staying despite the obvious gap in skill for the title hes defending. He points this out and she assaults him for it. Typical. Even though shes in the world of shogi she, like a pokemon, only has 4 moves: Joy kill, Act Kuudere, Assault, and Attract. She needs to just give up on him and fuck off.

Well I was quite surprised that Yaichi didn't become more as jerk but I guess they have to made something out and a bit forced I guess, thanks to Keika he sudden realise what he did wrong.

Okay good job marriage Ai-chan Ryuuou l That's how ceremony looks like. Poor Ginko xD


Final episode is match against Meijin , will he lose his title or will he be able to win 4 times in row?
We know next week xD

The way Episode 11 settled the Ryou's conflict was good. Personally, I thought the meeting with his disciple could have been better executed, but at least I got to see Yaichi head-pat Ai. The final episode better be wild, thrilling, and intense!

I just wanna say, as hot as Ginko is, she's definitely one of the annoying ones in this series. She keeps beating up Yaichi cause of her jealousy, she isn't even his girlfriend and she keeps acting like one when she interrogated him about his relationship with crazy bitch, and now when Yaichi explicitly mentioned he wanted to be alone she still stays and continues to try to make a move on him when he's clearly distressed and not his usual self, then when he snaps on her she gets angry and complain(which is something that I can see happening, quite a few people are like that irl especially when they're just kids, still annoying tho). Idk, if she doesn't just keep beating up Yaichi out of nowhere then she would've been a nice romantic candidate but nah, she has to be the classic hit the MC for doing nothing wrong.

The most important thing to come out of this episode is the fact that Keika achieved her dream. So happy for her, I was afraid it was going to sucker punch me and have her lose at the last second.

It seems the other Ai is surprisingly considerate, more so than most others.

Keika's passion was able to knock Yaichi back to his senses. The apology to Ai was nice.

Ginko was annihilated this episode. No apology either. That death stare at the end was sort of a turn on though.

Well since next week is the last episode I'm going to guess Yaichi will put up a good fight but will ultimately lose. Sort of a shame since the guy he's playing seems to be unbeatable.

After a surprisingly dark and gloomy episode last week, Yaichi regains his sense of hope and optimism thanks to an unexpected source: Keika. Once again, Ai Kayano delivers an amazing performance with Keika's victory. Hisako Kanemoto was also another highlight for this episode. As ambivalent as I feel about Ginko in general, her fight with Yaichi was genuinely heartbreaking, but I can't help but feel that she tried to take advantage of Yaichi when he was emotionally vulnerable. I found it weird that that Yaichi decided to apologize to Ai first since his fight with Ginko should still be fresh in his mind, but since he is a master now, he has to think of his students first, so it makes sense. Hopefully, his reconciliation with Ginko will be not as painful as their interactions usually are. The final episode is around the corner, so I can't wait to see how Yaichi will turn things around with the Meijin. This show has been very entertaining, so it deserves an entertaining conclusion.

Keika showing why she's best girl. Seriously, she and Red Ai are the only ones who understood that Yaichi needed some time alone. Keika still left him lunch everyday but never bothered him. Instead, she left him a message through her shogi duel. Also glad to see her finally reach female professional status. It was nice to see Yaichi and Ai's reunion and the headpats on the train were so cute. Keika was great this episode and now we see why Yaichi only has eyes for her because she truly understands him.

Yaichi and Ginko will be fine (I put my trust in the next episode). Gee, people really are harsh on her. She clearly isn't good at showing all of her emotions so when she shows some vulnerability, which I imagine is super hard for her, and then gets rejected, it's not a surprise that she would take it so seriously. It's easy to criticize looking from the outside but give her a break. She still has a lot of growing up to do. The fact that the younger disciples can grok what Yaichi needs is only a testament to their awesomeness.

The loli king is back - motivated by Keiks's match. It's nice that he made up with Ai, but he was a huge dick to Ginko and needs to apologize. I can't believe how hard they made the master-disciple thing be like a wedding. Good memes.

Wow,that was one hell of a coaster of emotions.
How the hell could he not take up Ginko on that offer-oh wait,just thinking about the aftermath has me shivering :)
And that hug,so made it look like he was gonna kiss Ai.
The ceremony at the end was hilarious,esp Ai's mother crying.
And that stare,jeez,felt like I was the one she wanted extremely dead.
Looking forward to the next ep,what with the possible stomping Ginko's gonna give him :)
Also,was it just me,or did anyone else think the stare she gave him wasn't just for his harsh treatment of her,but also for the fact it looked a lot like he was getting hitched with Ai.
And Keiko,how could I not mention her!-She's such a babe!

one of the best episode this has, i love this one as it shown how the other characters are so affected by what is happening with the ryou.

* that Ginko scene is just sad, its an expected reaction from her if you could hear some kind of words like she has heard from him. (though i also understand that Ryou didnt mean that, its just the timing when Ginko came is not the right one.)

* one of my favorite scene is the Ai (Hinatsuro) and Ryuo (yaichi) near like KISS!!!! i almost thought he will do that one to Ai (and go to JAIL1!!) hahaha...

* my other favorite is the Pre Ryou Match ceremony (or the Ai and Yaichi Discipleship Ceremony), it looks like a wedding one... hahahah... the way they held it it looks like a wedding and that Ginko look while watching it is GREAT!!!!

IM SO EXCITED FOR THE FINAL EPISODE NEXT WEEK... hope yaichi win over the meijin!!! (and hoping that Char and other Loli will have an appearance and moment with Yaichi.)

Red Ai best girl, she surpassed Blue White Ai for long but still give number 1 spot to her friend. I hope her she get her reward and happiness.

Poor Ginko, I hope thing get clear for her. I know it is too cloudy and misty between her and him, but can't really blame him because she is not honest with her feeling at all.

That mean he is not the only one who have to work hard and worked hard, but everyone too. He feels like shit because he treat everyone like a nuisance when in fact they just understand how hard he work and worried about him.

Yaichi deserved that punch from Ginko! hell yeah right! he's a piece of sh!t!
Good thing about this show is Keika winning against Eternal Queen Shakando! she's now a female professional! same as Hinatsuru Ai!
The event program looks like Yaichi is getting getting marries to LOLICON Hinatsuru Ai!
LOLZ! more work to do for Yaichi especially he needs to apologize to Ginko! I really thought they'd just forgot that...good thing not.
5/5.

yeah, how inconsistent, if Yaichi had a little bit of struggle having a simple match against Shakando...what happened to Keika vs Shakando? i thought Shogi is a no mercy game wherein you cannot let your opponent win just because she's one step closer to a next rank or something? Shogi should be a no pity game!

Keika wins, finally the MILF has gotten what she wants except a husband.

Ya know that other Ai needs some attitude adjustment, with a whoop in her ass.

So Ginko gives Ryuuo a knuckle sandwich, serves him right and the rejection serves her right where she now cries like a baby .

So technically speaking this anime has ended already and the 12th ep is gonna be merely a post credit?

To the people who get confused on mentally addressing which Ai is speaking, you can call (Yashajin)Ai Ten-chan, based on one of the Kanji of her name.

Speaking of names, the names of both Ai are quite interesting when you put them side by side:

あい - Ai - which could mean Love
天衣 -Read as Ai, but written as Ten'i, which means Forever in English(at least according to Google translate. Its literal translation is Heavenly Garment)

You get Forever Love. Slightly broken grammar aside, it's quite beautiful and poetic for me.

Whoa, thank God that Keika finally won. Atleast she showed something to Yaichi.

BTW that Ginko stare. Extremely creepy. Not that Yaichi didn't deserve it.
Atleast we have the Meijin matches coming up. Yaichi has to win everyone of them to keep his title.

And yes, Yaichi basically got married. No wonder Ginko wasn't happy about it.

Without change,we end up becoming the very person we hate.

Ginko.

Thats what fkn happens when you make yourself vulnerable to anyone...

How irrisponsible of him to not apologize. then he shares a cheeky smile with Ai at the end instead of making an effort to apologize. So selfish. He doesn't even apologise properly to Ai.

I'm not saying its bad, but it did reveal a part of Yaichi's nature. Hes a self-absorbed bastard.

I honestly do not know who I hate more, Yaichi or Ai (Og Disciple) Yaichi is a complete and utter idiot. It took you that long to realize you didn't apologize to Sora? Meanwhile you're having fun on the train and enjoying yourself. Straight trash dude.

Meanwhile Ai is getting swept up in being the disciple and having basically a wedding ceremony. I just find the whole situation uncomfortable.
