Edit: In the tournament that is. Others so far are Teru and Fujita like you said. That being said, your theory definitely has a lot of merit and doesn't bode well for Saki's early play against Koromo.

She didn't break down though... Her family didn't have the money to get into Kazekoshi so she went to Kiyosumi. And she never wanted to leave the competition. Granted, she could have gone to the individual competition but according to her, she was more interested and wanted to go as a team.

I was rather surprised at Mako being thrown off by a pure noob...what's more, said noob actually managed to crawl to 2nd place of the leader board...talk about luck(?) But I have a feeling that Hisa will kick some serious ass especially since Mihoko shat bricks when realising that she faced off against her before. Kowaiii~

Sometimes, beginner's luck is a bit of a skill. Since beginners usually play pretty chaotically, they automatically become the dark horse and may stump players who have advanced strategies in mind. Especially when discarded tiles figure so heavily into the Mahjong game, if you're doing it chaotically, then it becomes a bit of a weapon. I mean, even in fighting games (videogames), other card/board games, beginner's luck can actually wear down veterans from time to time because their tactics are either so chaotic or so pure as to how they play, it disrupts in-depth planning.

I wonder when exactly Hisas power was foreshadowed? o_o I dont remember her seeing playing even once. Maybe my memory is bad. Im not watching previews so that is out too, seems like I have to wait for the next episode to see her awesomeness.

Im NOT planning to do it, but how exactly are you cheating in Mahjong? I mean sneaking in tiles wont work, it will be discovered the second 5 of the same tiles are open. Changing tiles on the dead wall would require VERY fast hands and still depend extremely on luck. I just dont see a way. Oh maybe changing tiles in your hand and your discards. |

Obviously, some games like Poker or Mahjong where discards and playing styles dictate the match benefits from newbie style rather than something like Chess where a newbie mistake could easily be exploited. But concealed hands are totally another matter. It's basically like Mu-shin or the no-mindedness martial artists and Bushido teach. Even after YEARS of practice and techniques drilled into them, they are taught to empty their minds and lose form to confuse the enemies and make sure no moves are seen. With newbies, that is already built into their circumstance. |

So apparently she felt she had to make sure Jun didn't go off so that Kazekoshi didn't start with a deficit. Her "special power" and her ability to hide in the flow and direct others toward Jun just seems to be a perfect counter to Jun. That being said, yes, it is pretty perplexing! Maybe she just wants / hopes that the middle three players will lose points but at a slow enough rate that Kazekoshi will be equal and near the top going into the final round.
