I think what would be amusing to see when FINALS comes is hearing Teru saying something around like.... Teru: Hmm... I'm glad I'm in Vanguard position and Saki is in Captain's... I don't want to be facing a monster like that... Everyone: WHAT THE HELL!!!!!

Possible evidence: Evidence 1 > Teru doesn't bother with the first hand because she surveys her opponents with her ability. > Saki almost always attacks in the first hand or at least has a higher chance of doing something in the first hand. Evidence 2 > Teru's playstyle needs a nice brake especially if she has a higher possibility of being the last dealer. > Saki always win when it is the last hand - Always even when she was playing +/- zero. Although you can say that Saki needs to win at the last hand if she is playing +/- zero to control the points. Evidence 3 > Saki playstyle has a higher chance to pon something or change the drawing order easily with her rinshan kaihou. > Teru's playstyle isn't affected by changing the drawing order. Evidence 4 > Teru is overpowered. > Saki has a habit of overestimating people. Look at when Yumi did a robbing a kong with her. She assumed that Yumi can rob her kong automatically but then thinks Yumi can't because her kong is concealed. This is followed by the thought process that Yumi can actually rob her kong using thirteen orphans. I would like to note that most sane people wouldn't think this, its not like anyone can set their hand to make a chankan or actually have a thirteen orphan hand so early in the hand. Unless Saki habitually played a player like that which she uses as a meter stick to measure strong people.

You know, for Saki's supposed debut in the nationals I was hoping for her to dominating her opponent.
Btw, for Achiga's 10th chapter .. Teru is too damn strong! I wonder if she will be the vanguard when facing Kiyosumi. If so then Yuuki is screwed. |

That's because it's likely that Achiga was even conceptualized then. The Training Camp, if I recall, was Chapters 55-61 (which marks the end of the first series). The first time the Achiga girls were even mentioned was Chapter 76, and even then they didn't even have a named attached to them (they were just called "Akado's school" by Fujita).

yeah.. I'm not sure how is this going to work maybe if Saki can achieve a draw during the last Captain round, they'll have to redo the match?

Does Saki even need to play Teru for a resolution to their plotline/relationship. I'm sure they already know each other's strength-level/playstyle well enough. It seems to me that breaking Miyanaga Teru's three year dominance over the interhighs could be significant enough in itself. After all, Saki's former mindset as far as Teru remembers her (probably) was Plus-Minus Zero.
I highly question whether there will be any significance to the Miyanaga story in the individual tournament. The main plotlines have been built up far too much around the team tournament. There will almost certainly be some sort of resolution in the finals. As far as the individuals, having rewatched the first season recently, I actually think they might end up serving as a great stage for some tension between Saki and Nodoka. The drama would be effective precisely because they would no longer be bound by a team mentality. Incidentally, Achiga ch. 10 was really quite interesting. Particularly I took note of Shindouji's description of "traditional" team lineups placing their ace in the Center, with some banking on the Captain's battle but the majority of "modern" schools instead issuing their aces as the Vanguard. Also, I feel really bad for Toki. Just, really bad and admiring of her. I want her to come out okay. |

I think it makes more sense if Teru and Saki face off in the individuals though.
Different from Achiga's wish to fight against Nodoka because almost all Achiga's player more or less know Nodoka, but since all of them can't play against her in individual tournament together, it makes more sense to fight in team tournament instead. On the other hand, Teru is Saki's goal. Other Kiyosumi player barely know her. And it makes more sense if Saki wants to "talk" with Teru on person, instead of "talking" with Teru's teammates. |

Well, that's probably what's going to happen, unless Teru uses her mirror attack to block Yuuki's power, like she's pretty much doing with Toki right now, and unlike Toki's future sight, I don't remember Yuuki's east boost to be something she can control and push even further beyond at will, so... yeah... No Taco will save her this time.

Re-read the last two chapters of achiga-hen. Unless she gets 30000 points from everyone, Teru will take it all back before Yuuki can finish munching a fun size taco. And god knows what all the other girls can do. Hell, what if one has the power to not get points taken at all, like an improved version of Kirame's endure, doesn't get anything, but doesn't lose anything. It would make some kind of sense to have someone like that seeing how much of an ungodly lead Shiraitodai seems to get from the beginning.

And yeah, broken, but as you say, not unseen. Just think about it: full moon power up, having divine energy in your very breasts, whatever the hell makes Touka awaken. I don't think it's impossible to have something like that, or at least something similar. |
