Well, they have a good basis this time for the rage. But, still seeing this, I'm so glad that I slept through the leaking stage. Its not worth losing sleep over.

Awai's ability to double-riichi, kan, win at the corner, and get the uradora for that kan, however, is definitely a wall gimmick, as it requires that the tiles be at certain locations in the wall.:
I don't have a problem with this. Its when Shizu was also able to break 5-6 shanten which is not really a wall gimmick that things become very very confusing.

Using Kuro as a barometer, it would be kuro losing the control of 1 or 2 dora which will go to another person's hand instead.

... oh I just realized ... what would happen if Awai were to face kuro in a match?
I think this post was supposed to reassure me and thanks in advance desrtsku. But, it just reminded me about a simple way that they could have shown or hinted Shizu's power. All those times, Shizu played with Kuro .... sigh. Now, the omission of it is even more glaring.

Oh well, I'll just accept that Shizu spontaneously got a new nerfing power. Trying to connect her power to storyline continuity is giving me a headache. And it does give us a good setup for the final match as Marina2 said.

I have no idea what will happen if Awai will face Kuro. One of the abilities should be able to cancel each other out. On the other hand, even if all the dora still goes to Kuro, Awai still has a double riichi yaku.
