Not the Shion match but I enjoyed this one as well, was a very nice episode with good music.

Guess we'll see Shion play next week.

Good episode, but like Faust said, I don't know how they're gonna wrap everything up in just three episodes.

Liked the scene between Shion and Saito again :)

Now I'm worried that this show won't wrap everything up. Very great episode none-the-less.

So the tournament continues in its snail's pace – I thought that it would be quicker given the limited episodes that are left to tell the story. I was slightly disappointed not seeing Shion playing the shogi-genius boy who beat a nine-dan, perhaps the next episode.

It's a shame that Saitou's mother is going through another operation, making Saitou's financial woes that much difficult. I did, however, liked the heart-warming Shion-Saitou moment at the hospital – they're becoming good friends/rivals.

Looking forward to the next episode.

I hope they don't rush the end and make a second season instead. I think they have enough story elements to make it go on for more than three episodes

Great episode. I really liked this match. I honestly didn't know who would win going into it. I know Saori's a main character, but it would have been good for the story if she had lost.

So is the bad guy with the hat Hani-meijin?

You know, I can understand why Saitou is cross dressing- the whole money issue and what not. What I don't get, is why is he wearing things like thigh high stockings, and short-shorts. Saori doesn't even dress like that and she is really feminine. I think he starting to enjoy the cross dressing a little. Ha.
Good episode though.

Nice episode showing Saitou's teacher has a softer side behind the ruthless one.

Hani's appearance to calm Saori seemed so cheap during the match. She prrobably would have lost otherwise. It's not that I wanted to see her lose but I'd have rather watch her complete the game without interference.

I gotta say...that match was pretty dramatic and the OST fit perfectly.

What the hell was that? How can Hani just intrude like that and not get sanctioned? Then Nikaido gets a power-up from his support. That's just stupid.

Man, ever since that one episode, I've come to really dislike Nikaidou's character, it seems like all she is worth is just her obsession with Hani-nii, she was a lot better in the first few episodes. Sigh. I hope there's no more 'look at me, I'll win, win, and win, until I get to stand toe on toe with you' of pre-game ritual for every one of her significant matches. That was annoying as hell.

I don't like the story and character development for Kamizono too, good lord, he was hyped up to be someone fearful, but look, in favor of Nikaidou winning, Kamizono was forced to exit the show. Dang it.

Needless to say, meh episode.

Saori won against Kamizono, I didn't expect that to be honest, but the last scene between Kamizono and Saito was pretty emotional

I kind of wish Nikaidou hadn't won. I feel like she wins too much and it is spoiling her attitude.

At the rate we're going, I guess just about all the Pros will go down and the finals will be filled with newbies and amateurs.

Looks like the internet café guy might be the next big suspect. I assume if Shion gets into the finals, and he hears about it, the mystery aspect of the show will begin to progress again.

Beheaded and displayed, huh? The shogi of old didn't fuck around.

I've noticed that every time Makoto decides to spectate a match, someone suddenly starts to feel ill or uncomfortable. Can his mere presence alone induce that, or is he up to something?
