| They covered a lot in this episode, but the highlight was definitely seeing the girls from the original story again (especially Momo, I miss her Stealth Mode a lot). Saki's entrance was great! Her spirit force completely froze everyone... I guess Teru would make them disintegrate on the spot. I like how they couldn't beat Koromo, lacking the esper-like abilities of Sakitachi, this cast has very little chance to succeed. Will be interesting to watch I hope. 4/5. |
| MC : "That's the opponent I have to beat!" me : "AHAHAHAHA!!!!" Seriously, I laughed so freaking hard when she said that, they're on completely different level. Saki's Aura scares even a former league mahjong player. OMG she is so clueless... I'm in tears. If they ever meet Kiyosumi, they won't get beat, they'll get f*cking slaughtered. |

That's exactly how I felt while watching the scene. Watching this serie is like watching a group of puppies adventuring in a wolf's den only to get slaughtered, that's kind of sad when you look at it that way =/. |

Dalek-baka said: You might know the outcome but like Maddo Scientisto mention you don't know how they did it.Aversa said: amginex said: I recommend watching the first season it's great and less rushed then the past few episodes we saw.but yea, its going fast. i have yet to see the original saki. maybe this series will mean more if i did. but im really liking it so far It's also goes in on the mahjong matches in a great way which we will also get to see this season most likely i think they will focus completely on the tournament now. So there is a big chance we get to see a similar style of focussing on the matches like they did in first season. I also recommend watching the entree first season not just a few episodes like some people recommend sure some episodes excel but you will miss out on a lot if you just watch a few episodes. Just saying that watching first season now (after episode 3) And you also learn allot about the characters since there is some nice character development in the first season and it was a fun story to watch. It also explains a great deal about Mahjong how it's played what the rules are and some of the special moves which might help understanding this season a bit better. And like i also mention it shows the matches allot more and there very intense and enjoyable. Maddo_scientisto said: Don't forget that Kiyosumi also had a pretty hard time with Ryuumonbuchi there a very powerful foe who also got a pretty far way during they previous national tournament.Yeah but apart from Ryuumonbuchi, it doesn't look like any school that scored 2nd in the premilinary is notably strong as Achiga could deal with them without problem. I would like to see a team composed of Saki,Nodoka, Koromo, Teru and Kazekoshi's captain. Would be overkill. And playing a few matches against a powerful foe can make you a better player since you can learn allot from them and it will also make you stronger as a team. I also think your underestimating the teams that got second sure Bansei would have been eaten alive by Ryuumonbuchi but some of the other teams that got second would have had a serious chance against them. And in the teams that got second there might be some monsters as well. |

I also think your underestimating the teams that got second sure Bansei would have been eaten alive by Ryuumonbuchi but some of the other teams that got second would have had a serious chance against them. And in the teams that got second there might be some monsters as well. Not really. The only one that had trouble against Ryuumonbuchi was Yuuki. Mako couldn't do anything because she was placed next to a total beginner so it's unknown how she would have dealt with Ryuumonbuchi (Ryuumonbuchi also got owned by the beginner's luck in that round). Hisa destroyed her opponents. Nodoka destroyed her opponents Saki was intimidated at first but the moment she stopped being scared and started to enjoy the game Koromo couldn't do nothing at all. Saki was dominating the battlefield and even Koromo was nothing next to her. Ryuumonbuchi is strong but nothing special if you remove Koromo. Koromo on a full moon is probably stronger than most people we will see in the nationals and Saki dealt with her like she was a weakling. The reason why Ryuumonbuchi didn't win the nationals (Or even did good there at that matter) is that except Koromo their team is lacking. Koromo is also nothing special as long as she doesn't play at night and even less if it isn't a full moon. Considering that the national were played during the day she couldn't use her Haitei at all (As it was also stated by the commentary). Ryuumonbuchi is very strong but except Koromo and maybe Touka they do not have any national level player. Sure Jun can feel the flow but that's her only ability and about all monsters in the nationals can probably do at least as much. Kiyosumi got Hisa, Nodoka and Saki. Mako's level is unknown but since Hisa aknowledge her skill she must be able to hold her own. Yuuki is still their weakest player, the only way she can win anything is if she ate Tako and is in east round which is like 1/4 of the time. |

| 4/5 If there's actually mahjong in each ep, itd be 5/5 lik saki hoping for matches cuz thats wat im watchin 4 |

If they ever meet Kiyosumi, they won't get beat, they'll get f*cking slaughtered. Oh, I laughed so hard at that scene too... Won't happen, not even after freaking million years... And besides, I think Nodoka won't let anyone who hurt her 'Saki-san' out easily, even if it's her friends. XD Ah, nah, I wish they won't even reach the final, cos I'm cheering for Shiraitodai and Senriyama.... Achiga? They can be sacrifice lamb so the audience know how hax Shiraitodai is.. lol.

Not really, sure, you get better, but you can't up your skill that easily (kinda like Shizuno who is confident that she's the same level with Saki, but we knew better who own who, lol) Hoping to catch up to Senriyama's level with just one night (or few?) of training, even with pro or other monster player to play is just too much... Even Senriyama themself doesn't have special players, except maybe Toki so far (preview)... Maddo_scientisto said: Not really. The only one that had trouble against Ryuumonbuchi was Yuuki.

Yuuki is a good sacrifice *cackle* And she got nine-gates-ed by Teru... or so ep 25 preview told us... XD Actually, Ryuumonbuchi was knocked out in the semi-finals, when Touka is in her cold mode, and the vice captain from Rinkai, Megan is scared of her, so she beat up other school, and not giving Ryuumonbuchi chance for 2nd place. (So they don't go to Finals). And it affected Teru, whom I think is greatly interested in playing with another monster level player (Koromo), who almost take the MVP away from her, she couldn't, so she went berserk and became last year's MVP. Oh, and about flow altering/feeling player... It's hinted that Nelly and Ako can do it too... Although the level of feeling is different, I think... Kinda like Jun vs Mihoko. |

Kinda hard to assure/bring people to watch this anime cos it isn't just about moe thingy... =.= Well, since Achiga-hen won't spoil Saki's match, so, I guess it's not possible that they reach the finals. lol. So no Official Saki vs Shizuno. XD |

| I would be even more ROFL if they were going to explain later on that Saki was losing her way to the wash-room in that scene. |

| Good luck beating the person where the anime is named from. and it's kinda funny what Saki did for a whole season was done in 3 episodes, or more like 1 episode. |
-Quasar said: Good luck beating the person where the anime is named from. and it's kinda funny what Saki did for a whole season was done in 3 episodes, or more like 1 episode.

Instead they chosed to present the character a bit, to get to the national was never the point of this spin off, it's rather to present the national itself. |
|
| You guys seems to forget that Saki was actually lost to Koromo at one point when Koromo reduced Kazekoshi point to zero intentionally. She can win with bigger hand which would make Kazekoshi point dropped below zero and end the game with Ryuumonbuchi victory. Also, if Achiga vs Kiyosumi.......Yuuki will be an easy targets for Achiga for sure but the rest is unknow. |

Well, I watch this spin off for the Nationals, and yeah, Achiga's players are relatively unknown (At least at Kiyosumi we have Nodoka and Hisa (who is recognized by Mihoko). :D Marina2 said: You guys seems to forget that Saki was actually lost to Koromo at one point when Koromo reduced Kazekoshi point to zero intentionally.

Well, Koromo's 'playing' with Kazekoshi, and Saki wasn't on her best at that time since she was overwhelmed and not taking off her sock. XD Eh, well, Yuuki and Mako? I think Yuuki won't have much problem vs Kuro, providing she knew that Kuro gather dora and does the same tactic Teru did as she beat Kuro... As for Mako, well, since Yuu isn't really normal, but she could analyze her hand by her discard. Not that it's a difficult thing to do, though, since she has patterned hand. :O |

Obviously, but Achiga's team is far from something we do not know since their characters were presented in the first two episodes. It's more like the opponents in Saki's prefecture is 10 times more stronger than the trash that is Bansei in Achiga. I do get the point of almost skipping through it, it's just funny how Achiga breezed in the competition, practiced with the 2nd runner up in each prefecture and met Saki in just one episode. |

Also, if Achiga vs Kiyosumi.......Yuuki will be an easy targets for Achiga for sure but the rest is unknow. Saki had to go to toilet and that obviously bothered her since she was scared of Koromo's aura Also Saki was scared a bit for the first half but once the second half started she was not scared anymore. That's where Kazekoshi's point was reduced to 0. Saki at that point was not under Koromo's control anymore, the proof being that she manipulated the battlefield to make Kazekoshi win some point. Rather Koromo was in Saki's control since she hadn't any control over anyone anymore. Basically all Saki needed was a bit of encouragement from Nodoka and taking up her socks but ever since the the first half finished the field was Saki's. Now with Achiga it's a bit different. Koromo is a monster and her play is very significantly lower at day, so much that she cannot use her haitei at all during the day. Yet Koromo, in the middle of the day, trashed Achiga like they were puppies. That same Koromo in full power was played with and trashed by Saki just like she was playing with any ordinary player. Saki is not even a goal for Achiga's, she's a dream. The national will end with Saki vs Teru since Teru has been Saki's goal ever since the start of the serie but that match won't be shown in Achiga-hen but rather in the original manga itself. |

| Wow, this is fast moving. They're already at the Nationals. They swept aside their first challenge like nothing. Then challenged Ryuumonbuchi right off the bat after winning the prefectural tournament. They may not be h4x level in strength, but I'm impressed at their fighting spirit. Also interesting to see the protagonists from the original Saki from a point of view that makes them the opponents now. Oh, Shizuno. I know you are burning with lots of fighting spirit, but Saki is just inhuman when it comes to mahjong... There be monsters out there. |
mizukiyay said: She still used her Haitei. Just her style doesn't change as much when it's not a full moon. Since it was said in that very episode that she won on the last hand again. Could only be the Haitei =3 Although I think you guys are underestimating Achiga. So beating Kiyosumi is still highly unlikely, but Achiga might have the biggest chance of any team in the nationals of stopping them. Assuming Teru's team makes it to the finals and is the last round of matches. The episode was awesome in general. None of the teams in the qualifiers were anything to them though because of how it was done. If any of the teams were really that good, it would have shown at least one of the matches in a slower fashion. It was to show that Achiga dominated the qualifiers in their area. Since the only really special team in their area was Bansei. Whereas in Saki's prefecture they had Kazekoshi and Ryuumonbuchi. While Kanbara's team also was in the higher ranges of talent as well ( save 1). It was mainly to show the characteristics of the characters, that they are talented and they don't give up. Also it demonstrates a more normal situation for the qualifiers. Normally you wouldn't see as many teams with special abilities in the qualifiers as in Saki's region. Bansei wasn't even special in that area. The ending is to show Saki as Ryuumonbuchi saw her in the beginning of the qualifiers. She was seen as someone similar to Koromo =3. Even characters who were in the high Nationals can feel Saki's power because Saki played with Teru and developed her abilities of that level. Whereas Achiga faced Koromo, they can't even comprehend her power on a full moon. Nor have they seen Ice Touka who Saki, Koromo, and even a pro lost to. Kiyosumi has a grand level of experience over Achiga in terms of supernatural powers. So Achiga probably won't stand a chance right now. However, as the anime goes on they may cover that maybe Achiga has some kind of strategy as a team they can implement. Shizuno (and others, I assumed) lost to Koromo and she won with Haitei 3 times in a row, while her power isn't even at its best. Which is fair if we compared The Koromo (on full moon) vs Saki, and Koromo vs Shizuno when it's not on full moon. And Shizuno can't win at all, eventhough she still has her spirit on... Probably because Koromo didn't trash talk them? Saki>Shizuno (I think we can agree on that point atm) As for the other point... They're in the same side bracket position with Shiraitodai, and it's possible for them to go to semi-finals, only to be trashed by Shiraitodai (Yes, I'm Shiraitodai fans. XD) Other than that, it's important to notice that Senriyama (Ryuuka and Toki team) is the next opponent they'll face on the qua-something 8th big? before semifinals. Senriyama is trashed by Shiraitodai into 4th position last year's tournament, but managed to reach rank 2, and got seeded. To put it frankly, I don't like Achiga's team.... much except Yuu and maybe Kuro, so it might be biased. :P They should've just put Achiga the same bracket with Kiyosumi (with Rinkai ?) but they didn't. So the whole point of the show is to let the viewer know what happened on the other side of the brackets, other than assuming Teru's school trashed them all... lol. Well... Harue did state that Arakawa Kei (Individual interhigh rank 2)'s team lost to Senriyama because Senriyama's team work is better than Kei's school, and stated it's possible, yadda yadda. But I guess that won't work on Teru's team, since Shiraitodai looked solid- I mean, they have The Teru as Vanguard, and Their Taishou, Awai is confirmed to be real strong Team Tournament main final boss... and of course there is also Sumire... Wait. So the point... Everything is possible in mahjong, but the flow so far isn't in Achiga's favor, I think. Maddo_scientisto said: Saki is not even a goal for Achiga's, she's a dream. The national will end with Saki vs Teru since Teru has been Saki's goal ever since the start of the serie but that match won't be shown in Achiga-hen but rather in the original manga itself. Because we all know that it's not possible for Shizuno to beat Saki (at least atm)... so yeah, I guess. And it's slightly bothering me that they put Kuro as Vanguard, not Taishou... Not that it won't matter much, but Achiga's team position slightly irked me... Saki could fight VS Teru in the Individuals, for the Team Tournament, she'll just have to deal with Awai. *grin* Which looked like her power is affected by the night or something... |

shizuru1412 said: that? Dark Saki is yummy. :) I loled since it's what will actually happen. The national will end with Saki vs Teru. Achiga won't even have the chance to play Kiyosumi since they aren't even in the same side. Though if that mean she's not on Kiyosumi's side that mean she's on Teru's side and since Teru is the last boss figure of the Saki's manga it's impossible to imagine her not making to the final. Not that Achiga had any chance to do so but just that single element show how irrealist it is. The whole point of this serie is to make us see how awesome Teru is before actually showing the final Saki vs Teru (In a real Saki S2). I feel bad for Achiga to be used as fodder for that purpose. I doubt we'll see anything from Kiyosumi in Achiga-hen, maybe we'll hear the result of their games but even then I doubt. I beleive they'll keep Kiyosumi's perspective of the national as well as the final scores of their games as well as Teru vs Saki match for another season. |

| Remember that 2 teams from each semifinal get in to the final. So even if Shiraitodai thrashes Achiga, the latter could still get into the tournament finals, and thus face nodoka et al. Wait, is that in the anime yet? Oh well it's hardly spoileriffic even if it isn't |
| There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do. |
Maddo_scientisto said: Achiga won't even have the chance to play Kiyosumi since they aren't even in the same side. They can actually and that doesn't mean they have to beat Teru's team. They have to come second to them since 2 schools from the opposite side will qualify in the finals which is quite a given since every match always had 4 schools involved. |

(Saki :" Kan!!" Kuro: "Ohh another kan dora.nice.") so saki should Tsumo with Rinshan kaihou.if not,Kuro could Tsumo it with getting advantages from Saki's kan dora in dora indicator. but considered about kuro's gameplay, My conclusion is : |

I think Kuro is kinda weird to be placed - Can we actually talk about their team position, uh? I just don't like Yuu's position. Since the strong player is either : at Vanguard, 3rd Player, or Captain. And they don't even protest about the position, unlike Saki who questioned herself being Taishou, since her sister is Senpou, but let Yuuki be Senpou cos it's for the best... Kuro's dora collecting... Well, at least only her has dora, thus limiting other players' hands value, although you can have a Kazoe Yakuman without dora... :) -Quasar said: They can actually and that doesn't mean they have to beat Teru's team.

| To add on to the "powers" list... (though what I'm writing isn't necessarily "monstrous" power) Senriyama: Cera / Sarah Eguchi - Likes winning big hands only. I THINK it may have been implied that she has the ability to score big hands because in the manga... Toki Onjouji - Ability to predict one round of discards. If she were to change her future, she'd be unable to predict discards again for I forget how many turns. Achiga: Kuro - Obviously, the Dora thing. Yuu - "Warm" tiles. Usually the "manzu" and "chun" tiles. She says when she has those tiles, it makes her feel warm. However, when this fails, she becomes a red tile magnet, making her difficult to defend against. Toki notes Yuu has a similar playing style as her. Ako - I think she's a logical player like Nodoka. Apparently the most skilled player in the Achiga team, but is overlooked. Her style of playing is generally fast paced. She also has a good sense of flow of the game. She has a speciality with winning using small hands. She doesn't really have a "mahjong hax" power or anything. Just logical, in my opinion. Shiraitodai Everybody - herp derp mahjong hax 24/7 and everywhere. |

-Eila- said: To add on to the "powers" list... (though what I'm writing isn't necessarily "monstrous" power) Senriyama: Cera / Sarah Eguchi - Likes winning big hands only. I THINK it may have been implied that she has the ability to score big hands because in the manga... Toki Onjouji - Ability to predict one round of discards. If she were to change her future, she'd be unable to predict discards again for I forget how many turns. Achiga: Kuro - Obviously, the Dora thing. Yuu - "Warm" tiles. Usually the "manzu" and "chun" tiles. She says when she has those tiles, it makes her feel warm. However, when this fails, she becomes a red tile magnet, making her difficult to defend against.

Spoiler should be mentioned after "[insert character's name here] - " because those abilities haven't showed in anime. On another note - 2d 8h 2m left until next episode of achiga-hen |

Can't wait for her match. Would be awesome! :) Anyways... Perfect 3rd Year Team: Can't wait for Yuu's match too... She's just... adorable. :3 And Shiraitodai... Finally my years of waiting is all pays off... |

| Oh hello there Saki-chan. :3 I was actually anticipating for Saki to trip but it didn't happen, surprisingly. O: Gawd Saki I missed you! <33 Its so nice to see you again. (I had to re-watch how she beat Koromo) And Mihoko's cameo appearance just made it all worth it for me. I can't honestly say I'm liking this series so far but yea, I do hope it gets better. And I always need to remind myself that this isn't the second season of Saki. OTL |

| Saki~~~~~~~~~~~ If they do get to play against Saki and the club members of Kiyosumi, I'll probably be rooting for them instead xD |

There is a good probability that they will make it to the final alongside Teru's school since the 2 school that got the more point in the semi-final will qualify for the final. I feel like this season will end with them qualifying for the final then in a future Saki S2 we'll see the national from Kiyosumi's side alongside the final battle of the tournament. Haven't read Achiga's manga yet so maybe I'm wrong. |

Kit-Tsukasa said: I don't like the pacing. The suspense and build up from the original Saki is lacking and while I haven't read the manga for this spin-off, doesn't this mean we'll see the national tournament before the original source gets to it? Recall in 2009, the original Saki series stopped right at the nationals, so I'm starting to wonder if this is really still a side-story any more or is the staff trolling us and giving the real sequel here? Yes and No. Yes, we'll get to see the national tournament and Kiyosumi is in. No, it's not really a sequel. You'll not be spoiled about the Kiyosumi performance in the tournament. Actually, it is the origin of this side-story's title. Side-A of the national drawings is where Achiga belongs, while Kiyosumi is playing in the Side-B. They'll not meet each other before final, that is, if both of them can go through. |

Yea you will see the nationals but as Achiga are on a different side to Kiyosumi it doesn't ruin any of the Saki story. Anyways, one more day then we can freely talk about Achiga's team position and Senriyama.... more freely... :D And of course, go go Shiraitodai, just few more weeks. ;) |

| And this thread die. Long live thread.... I still like Toki's blazing eyes on ed pv, but it's not comparable to Saki's eyes after she won with that Kazone Yakuman on perfectural final. XD |
