That was really impressive any lesser sport manga writer would have had Chihaya win the match against the grunt players while using her wrong arm and continue all the way till she faces a respectable opponent in the quarter-final.
Oh wait.
That was really absurd, even putting your own cards in the mirror wouldn't fix the other big issue: the weak arm muscles isn't used to such movement.
Luckily the 2nd half was much better (not focusing on Chihaya helped) poor Nishida though, he seems to suffering from
the Worf effect he supposedly the most experience player and yet he gets beaten most of the time.
