After the rebound in Kazekoshi’s score at the end of episode 17, both Kazekoshi and Tsuruga seem to have regained focus through thinking about their other half. :P hahahahaha Koromo has now turned her attention to Saki and as a result allowed the other two players to score some points. In the meantime, Saki is staying all quiet causing some distress to Koromo.
hehehehe Turns out she’s not feeling quite right…the reason being??! She wants to take her shoes off!!!! hahahaha Ok – bizarre turn of events, I agree but what the heck! Let’s get on with the game!!! I just want Saki to WIIIIIN!!!!
LOL after one tiny win that almost shocked everyone off their chair, we get her signature hand!!!
Tsumo after a kan!!!
kekeke But again, it is another really small win…what is going through her mind?!
The most hilarious bit must be when Saki does a DOUBLE KAN and EVERYONE is like just WAITING for the “tsumo” but instead she says: “I’ve discarded.” hehehehehe She ends up winning with ANOTHER cheap hand. Everyone’s getting frustrated with her but…maybe she’s just warming up…with only 2 games left…
Finally in the 2nd last game, her playing seems a bit odd…her moves seem to be go against the idea of a large hand!! I have confidence in her…Kazekoshi girl has a big hand close to winning, even Koromo can sense it but she can’t seem to sense any danger from Saki!
Just as Koromo is wondering whether her hand is coming together…Saki does a KAN! And ANOTHER KAN! AND ANOTHER KAN!! That scores her 24,000 points in total!!!! WOOHOO!!! OMG! She’s SOOOO COOL!!!! hahaha I looove Saki!!! She completely KNOCKED the others’ SOCKS off!!!! hahaha
Koromo is WORRIED!!!! hehehehehe

My friend screenshot how Saki came to build her hand, and it is IMPOSSIBLE to play like this unless she knows what tile is coming >4 tiles in advance.
What an otaku. ^_^

Yes! Building a hand like that from the dead wall is way too hard and almost impossible in real life. She must the future! O.o

I let my sister watch this episode…and after a time, I thought she was becoming extremely bored because she knows nothing of mahjong. But when the episode ended, she started telling me; “I want to watch the whole series!”
How powerful can Saki get these days? The recent blogs and even 2ch is putting this anime on the popular list of ‘most watched’. XD That said, I loooooove Saki too! The anime and the person herself! =)) I could have sworn the watcher guy was totally moe over Saki asking him if she could take her shoes off! Wahaha….ehm. XD Carry on. OwO

With the power of yuri Saki’s win is perfectly possible!
Anyway, although I still don’t know much about Manjong, if it wasn’t for precisely this stuff, the mahjong in Saki I guess would just be boring. I mean, if it’s realistic all of the impressive hands and wins would just be as rare as in real life and the show would just be too plain

BTW, while it literally is a tsumo after a kan, the name in japanese “rinshan kaihou” basically means flowers blooming. Hence, all the flowers that appear whenever Saki pulls it off.
Although… it’s the animation company that chose to make the flowers in question lilies. :P

I KNOW!! I saw the lilies and just couldn’t help laughing!! hahaha
