| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Hikaru has become a solid Pro Go player. Its a shame, its been 6 years since the special aired and, even after 70+ episodes, the story still doesn't feel concluded. You'd think by now they would of made a second season or another special. Ah well.. This is going to sound stupid but... Lets all strive to find a "divine move" of our own in our lives. |
| I thought it was a really good episode, felt like a natural continuation to where the series left off. TsubakiMH said: the story still doesn't feel concluded. You'd think by now they would of made a second season or another special. Ah well.. You could always check out the manga, Im fairly sure that has been completed, watching this episode made me want to read it |

| where can you watch it? i been looking for it on every website, but none of them have the actual video. |

| also it would be very interesting to see a rematch between Hikaru and Suyong Hong... second season please.. |
| yeah, i wanted more of hikaru no go that's why i read the manga however, the there's no really an "ending"... i hope that the author does continue the manga, please!!!!  |
| I hope for continuation one day too. Bakuman ended so i wonder what the artist is up to anyway. |
 |
| A continuation of the original Hikaru no Go plot line. Although I did enjoy it a lot, I believe that it could have been much better. It was definitely lacking in character development and the plot was not very intriguing, but the audio was still magnificent. I enjoyed watching it and wish the series continued on. |

| Well it's a nice special to have but I find it pretty disappointing to see an anime that made it 75 episodes and yet still never get finished. I mean when it comes down to it Hikaru is still a 1-dan, never beat his rival, didn't win his honinbou league prelim match, and never even once won against a heavyweight veteran player. I got one word to describe this series above all others it would be anticlimactic. Though still enjoyable which is the only reason I'm whining about the squandered potential in the first place. |

| A very nice addition to the series, but it still left me craving more. I mean, the way the story is, there's no way to really tie up all the loose ends (unless maybe it flashed way forward to Hikaru being an old man with several titles under his belt and finally pulling off the divine move against Akira ftw), but I wanted to at least see the team league matches. Maybe I should read the manga but I hear that ends on an even less satisfying note. I knew as soon as Ochi offered to challenge Yashiro with his spot on the line that he was going to lose to him, they made it blatantly obvious who was the stronger player. They wrapped that up in like a minute anyway, so it's not like the lack of dramatic tension really hurt the ending. Overall a very solid OVA but I need more Hikaru no Go! 9/10 |
| "5-5" "Tengen" "5-5" lolwut? One hell of a match, and it's all over the place. Ugh, hopefully Studio Pierrot decides to animate the rest of the series. I really liked this OVA, the Ogata vs Akira and Morishita vs Hikaru, loved the afterwords too. |

| Not much of a sequel imo but still pretty decent episode, the matches sure were intense and interesting! |
 |
| Damn, this match was really great, probably my favorite, because all the people were like" Huh?" xD Felt awesome to watch. The only problem I have with this special is, that it still doesn't feel like an end. *sigh* Guess I really have to read the rest in the manga. |
| Ahhh I wish there was more. I mean, we didn't even meet Ko Yongha or Hong Suyong. Gahhhhh. Everything is left so open I'm just sitting there like, "yes? and then? what's going to happen next? why isn't there another episode?" |

| Wow, Isumi passed the exam by winning all his games, we didn't know that and he defeated Kuwabara in his first pro game. Hikaru defeated Kadowaki on his own this time but he couldn't defeat Morishita. Akira couldn't defeat Ogata either, they both need more time to get to their level. I changed my opinion of Ochi, he was awesome for requesting that game, and he lost it. It's a pity we won't see the games against China or Korea. |

| i believe this special have shown why it's not worth to continue the anime to the last arc. first of all, i got the strong feeling that must of the matches are like in hajime no ippo, that madhouse did take the most parts of it to the other anime but the main, there's a lot of characters work here beside every match, second, as other said, there's no real conclusion here though the story to be good, and even the story isn't the same, watching hikaru and akira grows will enjoy every fan but the goal here is much less interesting, and the story revolves more about the play itself. and as the special goes a lot happens and some of the matches and their conclusion doesn't target well, and i mean by akira and hikaru loses their matches though to be so overrated, hikaru is actually finishes the special with good matches but the middle of the special points out that hikaru is not that good, it sure show us how much he grew but it's not like the series to do that. i'm not saying the special disappoint, but more of showing us that we do not miss nothing by let us end the franchise here, the tournament was short enough to insert into a 80 minutes and it was very smilier to the pro exams preliminaries story, and yashiro wasn't that interesting, the interesting part was his playing, but then again, the series didn't even focused much on the playing itself, and that's the reason this special didn't turn into a short OVA series. |
