Whatever the case, Shiraitodai is finally getting some personality. I'm all for this development.

Did you forget about Teru having the whole school as her harem? No one's ship has to be sunk And yes, it's quite to finally see some soul behind the monsters, especially Teru, and especially now that Saki seems to be sinking further into darkness.

I'm finding it amusing that people are whipping out the tablet PCs, instead of the notepads and laptops that they had in the first Saki.
And yes, it's nice to see the champions slowly being given character in Achiga-hen, instead of these vague threats that they were when the first anime rolled out. Eagerly waiting for the aftermath of Sumire's turn at the table, and see what Takami and Seiko can contribute to the slaughter... I mean, Shiraitodai's continued dominance of the table.

2. Nagano is a bit backwards, so the top schools of other regions would most likely have access to the best technology. |

Wooohhh!!! I can see the finals now... it won't be the Nationals anymore... it will be the.... TERU TOURNAMENT.... at the table during the Captains Battle in the finals... Awaii: I'll be keeping Teru-neechan for myself... Saki: No... I'll be taking back oneechan... Awaii: Let me see you try... Saki: I came here specifically for that... and then auras clashes between two monsters!!! there will be natural calamities!!! I hope the tournament venue don't collapse on them... I feel sorry for the other two people at the table during that battle... I can't wait... how many years will it take?

That sounds dangerously close to the final season of beyblade, but with lesbians.
HELL YEAH! Also, if everything goes according to plan, Shizu should also be on the table at the time. Will her years of supressed lust for Nodoka pay off at the time of the clash? Edit: In case you needed further evidence Last edited by Requiem-x; 2012-08-09 at 00:18. |

Teru is the boss! like a yakuza boss the whole "all girls" school bows before her and her harem. I wish Shizu at least show some fight in the captain round of this semi final round.

Saki's game plan has never really made a lot of sense (I mean, depriving Teru of the chance to be the first three-time champion is a way to become friends with her again?), but now she's going to have to do it by beating Teru's girlfriend? Time for a rethink...

Gentlemen, the fact that you dare consider Awai as the girlfriend of Teru greatly disturbs me. Awai is just a spoiled brat! Remember, Teru is a siscon to the very core! There are no other possibilities!
*Goes into siscon Teru mode* As a side note, please enjoy a Ryuuka: Spoiler for Sock Fetish:

...Or I could be taking it out of context, though it's hard to see how two people who were 'just friends' could get into that position. On a different note, I might be jumping the gun a bit here commenting on just these few scans, but I don't like the look of what's happening in the match. When, exactly, have we ever seen any hint that Yuu has any special ability other than being able to draw in 'warm' tiles? Yet, suddenly, here she has the ability to avoid Sumire's attack, something that is so extraordinary, apparently, that it causes consternation in the Shiraitodai team. That looks unpleasantly like author ex machina to me. |

I think to understand how Yu was able to avoid Sumire's ron, we need to see how exactly Sumire's ability work. Avoiding direct hit via betaori isn't something that amazing in the world of mahjong either... so calling her using 'deus ex machina' is overestimating it. She probably understand how Sumire's fight by studying it or perhaps, doing something that isn't ordinary for her standard.
Not to mention that the girl in Shiratodai team had stated that there's no weakness in Yuu's ability when she fought her before.

Now all we need is to have the fourth player with some sort of grudge against Saki then all hell will break looses in the final captain match. |

I have the opposite reaction to that picture. For me that was an indication that there is nothing going on with Teru and Awaii since Teru has absolutely no reaction toward the invasion of space. As you've said there is no blushing and no embarrassment which are signs of attraction toward someone. Considering how unemotional and controlled Teru is, getting a reaction out of her would be more telling of how she feels toward someone. I think this demonstrates more of Awaii's personality. From what I can see she doesn't seem to use honorific for anyone. Hmm... more fuel for my pet theory that Awaii is actually from another country. @Sumeragi Those are pretty good pictures even if I feel it sort of crack paring right now. But who knows what the next issue would bring? Saki characters and pairing discussion are so tanoshii. Next to the mahjong discussions of course.
