Why is everyone in Senriyama dying?

Also, Yuu is badass.

Raws Out.
Thought:
Sumire:
to restrain her nerveous twitched fingers. Yes, with Awai. Others won't do.
Yuu: best Achiga. ...
Shindouji: I wonder what is the chance of her and Sumire working together...
Izumi: so... She might get beatened by Nodoka at middle high
national? And was pressured? And is having inferiority complex
because she is the only 1st year on the table? And other is more
experienced?

Oh wow, Akado is actually a good coach and Yuu is actually awesome, dodging direct hits and ronning Sumire off. She is truly Achiga's strongest player; maybe not, cuz we're not sure about Arata's level yet, she might be stronger than Yuu. My respects for both Akado and Yuu have increased.

Izumi should just shut up. She kinda deserves it, especially considering how damn arrogant she was acting when facing off against Yuu in the quarter-finals match. No hard feelings k.

PS: Awai is acting so cute in this chapter :3

Im pretty sure we were already told Ako is Achiga's strongest player, and she managed to pretty much play almost on par with Sera who was Senriyama's old Ace player, she is a first year and Sera being a third. Yuu's opponents are not as good as Ako's imo (well maybe Sumire), and the same applies to Arata.
Also Yuu is winning because of Akado's advice which finally shows she can actually be a good coach. Seeing how she has noticed Sumire's trick when even her own teammates havent finally shows some proof that Akado can be a pretty strong player.

Im really liking this match, hell Shindouji has the most hands won this match so far even if they are small...I loved Teru time but damn that was so one sided its refreshign to see a more balanced game.

WHEN IS THE ANIME VERSION OF THIS GOING TO COME OUT!!!!


PS: WTF RITZ DID YOU JUST SERIOUSLY IMPLY THAT TERU WAS NOT EVEN PLAYING SERIOUSLY IN HER LAST MATCH!? SHE STILL HAS ANOTHER MOVE!? OH GOD THE FINALS WILL BE A BLOODSHED!

I'm sorry Akado for calling you an useless coach some chapters ago!!!! You're AWESOME for noticing that twitch habit! And working to revive Kuro's dora, good luck!

WHAT. Teru still has more skills up her sleeve! How monster can you get???

We got more Teru this chapter and she was more sociable than I thought... really now what did Teru and Saki argue over? this makes me so curious :(

Shindouji's player has never won with any honours except the west wind? Plus she seems to get a disproportionately large number of sou & pin. Does she have a special drawing ability, and why has noone commented on it yet?

Start scores:
Shiraitodai 196200
Senriyama 80900
Achiga 74700
Shindouji 48200

Current scores unless i messed up somewhere:
Shiraitodai 190700 (-5500)
Achiga 90100 (+15400)
Senriyama 61400 (-19500)
Shindouji 57800 (+9600)

current round = South 4, dealer Shiraitodai.

Oh! Seems that this is how Sumire's powers work and how Yuu counters it. Copy + Paste from Animesuki

"Sumire has the ability to ron off the opponent who is in Tenpai. When her opponent's hand reach tenpai, the tile that her opponent discards in that turn will be Sumire's wining tile. (Look like she has to "aim" in advance)

Yuu countered this by -

(when her hand is in Tenpai from a draw)
1. Looking for "a sign". If Sumire is aimimg to ron off her discard or not.
2. If yes, Yuu will pass her tenpai chance (i.e. discard other tiles that make her hand not in tempai (at this point Sumire's arrow will "miss" )
3. Progress her hand normally. Try to be in tenpai again (Sumire ability won't work on Yuu again because her waiting tile is not Yuu's discard anymore)
3.5 Predict Sumire's hand using the data from the tile that she's waiting.
4. Ron!"

and Sumire mentioned something about Shindouji's second player, Yoshiko, changing her playstyle. This is what she actually did. Copy + Paste again.

"She seems to reach tenpai or win very fast to the point that Sumire cannot prepare her hand in time. Sumire gives up on her and only aims at Achiga and Senriyama. Since Achiga can avoid her attack...........the only remaining target is.....LOL~".

Shindouji's second player is good. If Yoshiko's only the 4th best... I think Shindouji actually have the chance to beat Achiga and Senriyama!

Can't wait for the next chapter!

Even the strongest players have a weakness but to find such a small weakness Akado must really have looked at the small details to notice it guess she isn't a pro for nothing.
And for Yuu the use that weakness to full potential is impressive as well Yuu has played all her matches pretty well and i guess she isn't a player that should be underestimated.

There where some people who mentioned that Teru was the only real threat Shiraitodai but Sumire proves otherwise if you don't know her weakness you will be in serious trouble if she aims at you.
It seems to me that she has a good memory as well since she knew of Shindouji's play style from a previous match three years ago.
And that she is playing completely different now from then.
It's also the question of why Shindouji is going for such small hands is she just trying to delay her loss with such small hands or does she have lot's of fate in her fellow teammates.

Then there is Senriyama's first year who seemed way to overconfident at the beginning of the match and now that overconfidence costs her greatly.
And she doesn't seem to handle it well either.
She was also putting the blame on Toki for losing points in the first match to Kuro but that doesn't count for the points she is losing this match.
One thing is clear tho she needs to do something fast before it's to late.

She's talking about the match 2 days ago - the quarter finals. Not anything from 3 years ago.

Harue have always been a great coach, what's wrong with being bad coach?
Without her it wouldn't even be a national for Achiga? And they dream by meeting Nodoka will be crushed!
Who really can figure out her little habit by only a few milli centimeter?
That's really sick really haha.
I know Yuu skills is awesome, she dodge the arrow really good.

So far it seem like Achiga will enter final table, after this semi final it will say conclusion and start with Saki manga, I do hope they work faster when that happend. :D

yeah Harue is really good, spotting a minor habit and working on solving Kuro's dora issues

i think this is the first time seeing the chats within Shiraitodai players, nothing from them was shown when Teru playing, Teru herself seems to be not as cold as i thought

btw i think Yuu's scarf is alive...
