Ah! Okay... Then that's what they meant by the "yamagoshi" red five (which was translated as "passed over red five" which I think is still close enough)... I guess a better phrase would have been "around the bend" or something.

@the subites:
I found it annoying that whoever subbed Crunchyroll's version decided to mix English terms with Japanese (using "All simples Mixed Triple Chow pinfu") At around 6 minutes there also seems to be either A: A translation error B: A place that needs a note if they're aiming at people who have never played before Saki's hand was NOT "mixed triple chow". |

This kind of reminded me of yu-gi-oh. For instance, that mahjong slow motion lightning descent could be compared to slamming a card down (Which apparently takes 10 seconds for maximum holy crap effect.) and snickering afterwards. Both series take some kind of game and make it into some epic battle srzbzn with over the top visuals, sound and WHAT?!?!?! scenes. They even explain afterwards (or in this case before) what said main character did in strategy/tactics and how much in the realm of impossibility it is to pull something like that off. (Drawing the perfect card or in this case the right tile.) Saw some mahjong summoning creatures in the ED, too.
By the way, they're white.

that says "3 identical chows in 3 different suit. Saki has the 2,3,4 of each suit. Then again at 7:42 when the president says "All simples Mixed Triple Chow pinfu" saki has the 6,7,8 of each suit. And there's no note for mixed triple chow because it was already defined. I don't see any error in the subs.

If anyone is itching to play Japanese Mahjong online, and knows a bit of Japanese, I highly recommend Tenhou. You can play against three other people (or two, if you play the three-player game) or you can spectate other matches. There is no chombo and likewise there is no open riichi (it's like a riichi except you deliberately show your hand to everyone...iinm it is worth an additional han). But it is pretty fun (when you are winning of course). This link explains in good detail how to sign up for a Tenhou account and how to navigate the website.

Gonzo isn't in charge of Saki. TV Tokyo is. Gonzo stopped doing youtube this season.
All of the series that Gonzo streamed between the two Druagas (Druaga x2, Strike Witches, Blassreiter, Linebarrels) were put on Youtube simultaneously or the day after. |

In the case of this particular show the chinese subs are probably the most appropriate and easiest to read. Since all the mahjong terms are originally chinese anyway (well, almost all of them).
