Saki declared her favorite hand 2 times in a raw Rinshan Kaihou ("A flower that blooms on top of a mountain")
That's some very risky to declare Kong, seem like she got the tiles she want.

Tsumo after a Kong 1600/3200

Next episode we will see more about Koromo evil aura.

Awesome episode, finally back into some mahjong action. Even though I don't understand mahjong, the battles are the best part of the show.

I'm wondering how Saki will transform in this match. How she will counter Koromo and how she will deal with the fear.

Too bad for cat girl, she didn't expect 2 demons to show up. :)

Also I liked how they hinted at what's coming next. With talk of her sister, though they are researching it. I don't read the manga, but this seems like a pretty big hint.

Do you know how the odds to get Tsumo after a Kong and beside it was two times on the raws.
Yumi already read the records of her playing that she declaring Kong quite a lot and keep winning with it.
I won't manga spoiler anything but I know what will happening. <3

The next episode will be a lot of fearing when you saw on the previews.

Everyone get scaried of Koromo evil aura, well 2 demons we can likely calling it one since Saki is a friendly player, but can she surpassed Koromo, just wait and see on follow 2 episodes is coming.

Edit: We are not going to see how Koromo become a demon since it doesn't show up in the manga yet. Lmao

Yay!!! More Mahjong as one would imagine... and the new ED animation is funny... fairly equal to the previous.

This episode was certainly um... better than the last episode. It still made me laugh at how silly their reactions were, but it seemed a lot more epic.

*Spoilers*
I liked how the story put in Yumi's ron on Saki's kon.
The image of Yumi throwing spears at Saki was... not very necessary. The skirt ripping was unnecessary as well, bu t it's Gonzo.

Huh? What manga are you reading? Koromo has definitely transformed into a demon already... Several times. Her latest transformation blew out all the lights in the building in ch. 49.

Yes I'm have been reading Saki Volume 5 in Raw, it seem like the volume 6 is not there but don't manga spoiler here.
Too bad I don't know which chapters I am, only reading the completed volume of the manga.
Yeah I know that happening in volume 5, that what I mean we don't know much about her past and why did she become a demon before her cousin tooked her in. What about her parents? How was them ? Was she feel with enjoyable before her parents deads, did she play Mahjong with her family?
Oh I was meaning about her past story.

new OP with Little Non, as expected, but nothing too special. New ED was great (lol@Junbitaisou), but not as the first one.

Nodoka lives her own 2d playing, and Saki got a good start into the last round.. Amae is awaiting, did I see water in the preview? :D:D

Ending: Tako & Tacos lol

While it's nice to see Saki kicking butt, I'm actually enjoying the fact that Tsuruga Academy can't be counted down for the count just yet. I'm sort of disappointed about being right about Kazekoshi failing right after using up their ace player, and with Koromo, Yumi and Saki at the table, I think it's pretty much over for Kazekoshi.

I think Yumi's good enough to put up a decent fight against two demons, especially since she managed to perfectly counter one of them.

Also, good to see a new OP and ED (I didn't really like the first OP's animation, the song was great though) and also nice to see no Yuri overload like previous episodes; personally, subtle usage is best.
Will I fall in love someday? I wonder?

fun and entertaining. Some of these exaggerations seem way to over the top imo. It makes the show entertaining to an extent but come on...being invisible to others and all that...anyways...this match has my interest.

Hehe! I liked the new OP and ED but I liked the previous ones too.

This episode was very thrilling and exciting that I was holding my breath 'till the end.

And I am highly anticipating what happens next and also excited to watch more Saki.

I am really glad I followed this even though I am not the type to watch on-going series due to various reasons.

I liked the rain of spear...
Look really great...
And the "fight" too.
I loved this epic feeling i have when i see Saki.
But for Saki... Already have 49 chapters ? Oo
But with volume 3, we are going to chapters like chapter 23... and we have 5 volumes released... So like 37 chapters on volumes...

Pic in the spoiler button


And wow... The new OP and ED rocks!
The action looks cooler from both new ones and more enthusiastic.
Can't help but dance at my chair at the same time. XD
The old ones still rocked but I loved their idea in putting more actions from more characters in the new OP and ED.

Can't actually wait to see the Koromo evil mode next episode.

I still really wonder if the national tournaments will fit assuming that there will be full of fillers later, character interactions or/and even a beach episode. (take that from the ED)
But what kind of fanservicey show would not mind showing a beach episode at all?

I'm actually glad that the action picks up now, but the side stories are interesting showing the backgrounds of our notable players.
But I guess it doesn't appeal you...

Rest of the episode was good like usual with Saki. Finally we get to see her in action and how. Next episode THE Koromo awakens, I'm really curious to see how Saki will deal with her ... =_=

Heh, to some extent, it was nice seeing how Yumi managed to break Saki's offense so quickly (which is probably good, else she'd blow away most of the competition in one round). I do hope this will in turn lead to Saki becoming even more determined, especially when Koromo decides to show what she can REALLY do.

New OP was okay; the new ED was on a similar level of the old one, though the new song wasn't as catchy as the former.

poor kana, it must be hard for her to play in a round full with demons...

Nodoka see through is clearly as playing online !! "pretty extraordinary" , I agree .
Playing for someone or somebody is truly delightful for you to be energize real quick .
Kiyosumi won first place once again !! .. that was a sharp play !! World-class one .
The Battle of the Finest commences !! The passing of the torch touches !! F*cking excited !!
First Blood of an odd coincidence !! Tsumo after a kan 2 times in-a-row !! Rinshan Kaihou !! (blooming flowers)
Robbing a kan with spears !! more rare yaku !!
I can't even fathom the intensity of the match-up .. full of wonder !! New ED was quite fine ~ !!
Pretty GREAT Episode !!! Undisputed aces and revolutionary thoroughbreds ~ !!
For the OPs I would like to compliment , They're discerning of quality from my perspective .

Nodoka did nice until the end! Now hype for Saki, nice start from her part, but Koromo is still hasn't done anything so who knows what will happen.

We also got new OP and ED! I personally liked the first OP a lot more, but the new ED is very catchy, I also still prefer ED1 tho, but both are nice.
