Akagi (Drama) Tokyo, 1958. A man seriously gambles at a mahjong parlor. He's playing against members of the Ryuzaki yakuza clan. If he loses, he must pay his debt through his own life insurance – truly a game of life and death. With his own existence at stake, he can only play passively, and the game comes to a head. Suddenly, a mysterious boy appears. His name is Akagi, a thirteen-year-old kid. The man senses a strong aura around the youth and decides to have Akagi substitute for him in the next round Season 1 1 - Untitled Source: Crunchyroll Translator: Editor: Timer: QC: (Please feel free to edit the speaker names if incomplete or inaccurate.

[10:54] Was     Youth is valuable. [10:57] Was     That very youth is proportional to     the huge sum I'm putting on the line. [11:04] Was     Ougi-kun. [11:05] Oug     Yes. [11:08] Was     This young man might die here. [11:14] Was     Is that all right with you? [11:18] Oug     That is fine. [11:19] Was     Splendid. [11:24] Was     Now, then... [11:27] Was     What is your name? [11:32] Aka     Akagi. [11:39] Aka     Akagi Shigeru. [11:59] Guy     The match between Akagi and Washizu     that would later become legend [12:08] Guy     in the Mahjong underworld [12:12] Guy     began here, on this night. [12:20] Was     Take a seat. [12:29] Was     Let me explain to you the house rules     of this mansion's Washizu Mahjong. [12:35] Was     I said "rules," but they do not really     differ from regular Mahjong rules. [12:41] Was     What differs are the tools. [12:48] Was     We use these transparent tiles to play. [12:55] Was     In each suit, three of the     four tiles are transparent, [13:00] Was     and only one is a regular tile with a black back. [13:07] Was     Playing with these makes the     gamble more interesting. [13:22] Was     Has the opponent reached tenpai? [13:24] Was     What tiles are they waiting for? [13:27] Was     How many dora do they have? [13:29] Was     You can see it all for yourself, [13:31] Was     which makes discarding all the more difficult. [13:35] Was     What do you think? Pretty interesting, huh? [13:39] Was     Awareness breeds fear. [13:44] Was     People tremble only after     they have become aware. [13:47] Was     And it is watching people become aware     and start to tremble that I find so amusing. [13:55] Was     You'll see what I'm talking about,     once we start to play. [13:59] Was     Back to business. [14:02] Was     Let's talk about the way we do things     when we play with these transparent tiles. [14:09] Was     There are three rules. [14:13] Guy     The first is that no wall will be built. [14:17] Guy     The tiles for the starting hand and     each draw are taken from this hole. [14:21] Was     It's no fun if you know the     next tile you will draw. [14:27] Guy     Second, so that the tiles can't     be read with the fingers, [14:33] Guy     draws are made with a leather glove. [14:37] Was     Clever, don't you think? [14:39] Guy     The third rule regards the indicators for dora,     reverse dora, and new dora from kan. [14:46] Guy     After everybody has their starting hand,     the dealer draws one more tile from the hole [14:49] Guy     to be the dora indicator for that hand. [14:53] Guy     The same applies to reverse dora and kan dora. [14:56] Was     Three rules. [14:59] Was     Simple, isn't it? [15:02] Aka     Sure. [15:05] Yasu     What's inside that hole? [15:07] Guy     After all the tiles are placed in here, [15:11] Guy     when someone touches this metal rim, [15:13] Guy     a machine will automatically shuffle the tiles. [15:16] Was     There is no way to cheat. [15:18] Was     If you still have doubt, look for yourself. [15:29] Was     Akagi-kun, the real matter comes after that. [15:35] Was     There was a time when I used to play Mahjong [15:39] Was     for millions of yen with the young     men Ougi-kun introduced me to. [15:45] Was     For a while, I was quite enthralled,     but it's not enough for me anymore. [15:53] Was     What I'm trying to say is, it no longer moves me. [15:59] Was     Which is why, lately,     I've stopped betting money, [16:04] Was     and started to bet on something more suitable [16:08] Was     to counterbalance my assets. [16:10] Was     That is to say... [16:11] Aka     The player's blood. [16:18] Aka     You're telling me to bet my blood, right? [16:20] Was     You're a sharp one. [16:22] Was     That's right, you will be betting your blood. [16:28] Was     If you lose, you die. [16:32] Was     Death generally starts creeping in once the body [16:37] Was     loses about a third of its blood supply. [16:42] Was     Usually the blood loss is     fatal before the 50% mark. [16:49] Was     Based on your body,     you most likely have somewhere [16:52] Was     between 4 and 4.5 liters     of blood, which means [16:56] Was     you have about 2,000 CCs of blood to bet. [17:03] Was     I am putting a price on the amount     of blood you need to live. [17:12] Was     Twenty million yen! [17:15] Voice     Twenty million yen at that time is     equivalent to about 200 million yen today. [17:22] Was     What do you say? [17:23] Was     That's enough money to live as you     please for the rest of your life. [17:28] Was     Worth betting your life on, don't you think? [17:32] ---     So... [17:34] Was     Now, how do we convert my twenty million yen [17:41] Was     and your 2,000 CCs into Mahjong points? [17:45] Was     I'd say that 200,000 points     would be the appropriate amount. [17:50] Guy     Which is to say, If you lose 200,000 points     during six East-South matches, [17:55] Guy     you will lose 2,000 CCs of blood and die. [17:58] Guy     On the other hand,     if you only lose 100,000 points, [18:00] Guy     you get to keep all of the     money you've earned until then. [18:05] Was     But pettily taking points between     all four players is uninteresting. [18:14] Was     Tonight is a true duel between you and me. [18:20] guy     The 200,000 is the difference between [18:22] guy     your and Washizu-sama's points. [18:25] guy     Should Washizu-sama finish     first and you finish last, [18:28] guy     you could lose over half of the 200,000 points. [18:32] guy     Like this, for example. SIGN    1st Place Washizu SIGN    4th Place Akagi [18:34] oka     First, say Washizu-sama in first gets     a rank bonus of 20,000 points. SIGN    Rank Bonus [18:40] oka     Then the 1-3 rank bonus means another 30,000. SIGN    Wager [18:43] oka     Should he have any points     over 30,000 on hand, [18:47] oka     let's say 10,000, those get     added, totaling 60,000. SIGN    1st Place Washizu SIGN    4th Place Akagi [18:51] oka     The total is plus 60,000. [18:54] oka     On the other hand, you in fourth place     would lose 30,000 for the wager. SIGN    Wager [18:58] oka     If your points on hand are less than     30,000, say a deficit of 20,000, [19:03] oka     the total is minus 50,000. [19:05] oka     The net difference between     your points would be 110,000. SIGN    110,000 [19:09] oka     Were that to happen twice, your     200,000 points would be gone in a flash. [19:15] was     That's how it is. [19:26] yas     The payments will be settled after each     East-South match, so six times, right? [19:30] was     I forgot one important point. [19:34] was     In this Washizu Mahjong duel,     there's something like a bonus. [19:40] was     Hey! [19:42] suz     If there is a direct hit on your opponent,     or if you get a tsumo win, [19:47] suz     along with the points, [19:49] suz     the equivalent amount of money or     blood will be transferred, as well. [19:54] suz     The winner decides what     form of payment it will be. [19:58] suz     For example, Washizu-sama gets a direct     mangan hit off of you for 8,000 points. [20:04] suz     Then you'd lose 8,000 points and [20:09] suz     800,000 yen in cash, or 80 CCs of blood. [20:16] suz     It's the same with tsumo. [20:18] suz     Suppose Washizu-sama wins     a mangan with tsumo. [20:22] suz     If you're the dealer, you'd lose 400,000     yen in cash, or 40 CCs of blood. [20:28] oug     What happens if Akagi wins? [20:30] suz     Washizu-sama pays in cash, or returns     blood he's already won off of you. [20:35] suz     You can decide which you     would like after you win. [20:40] Oug     You can give him his blood back? [20:42] yas     But this rule is only valid     between the two of you, right? [20:46] suz     Of course. [20:47] suz     No matter how many times you play     into the other two players' hands, [20:50] suz     no matter how many points you lose, [20:52] suz     points are the only thing that change hands. [20:55] was     Well? [20:56] was     Didn't that illustrate clearly how the duel     between Akagi-kun and myself is set up? [21:06] was     It's actually quite interesting that     money or blood is transferred [21:12] was     during the East-South match. [21:15] was     If you happen to deal into a yakuman hand, [21:18] was     it's possible that your life could end even     before the East-South match is over. [21:27] was     Of course, this means you cannot     play with your regular composure. [21:33] was     You'll start to shiver. [21:37] was     With each tile, the deepest     core of your being will freeze [21:43] was     and you'll really start shaking. [21:49] was     I want to see that so badly that I have already [22:11] was     killed many young men. [22:18] aka     He's tired of it. [22:21] aka     He's tired of living. [22:25] aka     Standing atop all his successes,     he's desperately alone. [22:32] aka     His life of constant victories is     no longer enough to satisfy him. [22:38] aka     No, it's more than that.     The poison of success has made him mad. [22:47] aka     The mere fact that I am     young is unforgivable. [22:51] aka     "It cannot be that you will live     longer than me, when I am so great!" [23:10] was     Bring it in! [23:18] was     This is the tool that will draw out your blood. [23:27] was     Each of these bottles holds 100 CCs. [23:32] was     With twenty of these filled,     you will definitely die. [23:37] was     You will be living an entire life's worth of     time in the few hours that are to come. [23:44] was     You'll be stepping onto a path of     carnage from which there is no return. [23:53] aka     There is one thing I would like changed. [23:59] was     Changed? [24:02] aka     It's not enough. [24:04] aka     That rate won't destroy you. [24:09] aka     I want the rate to be increased tenfold. [24:14] was     You're telling me to make my     20 million yen into 200 million yen? [24:19] aka     Yeah. [24:22] was     Are you out of your mind?! [24:23] oug     Akagi, that's a bit... [24:26] aka     I've got no qualms with the fact that you     valued my punk life at 20 million yen. [24:30] aka     My problem is that you are diluting     my life's value by equating it to [24:35] aka     the inflated value of 200,000 points. [24:37] was     What are you saying? [24:39] aka     It's simple. Just make the     20 million yen worth 20,000 points. [24:47] aka     Then you can be destroyed, too. [24:50] aka     If I should win 50,000 points,     that would net me 500 million yen. [24:54] aka     Then you're within reach.     Your destruction will be within reach. [24:59] was     Are you stupid? [25:02] was     I will not perish. Understand? [25:07] was     How do you expect to survive     six East-South matches [25:14] was     with only 20,000 points? [25:17] was     The ranking bonus alone     is 10,000 and 30,000! [25:22] was     If I'm ahead of you in a single match,     that alone gives me a rank bonus of 20,000, [25:27] was     and you'll be dead. [25:31] was     If you deal into two of my mangan hands,     that's 16,000 points. 1,600 CCs! [25:38] was     How could you possibly survive     six East-South matches like that? [25:47] aka     It wouldn't be really impossible. [25:49] was     What? [25:51] aka     First off, [25:53] aka     if you don't set 20 million to correspond     to 20,000 points, it's pointless. [25:59] aka     I wouldn't be able to achieve     tonight's primary goal, [26:03] aka     which is killing you. [26:06] was     What is wrong with him? [26:09] was     Hey, Ougi, tell this brat     that this is not a game. [26:17] oug     With all due respect, Washizu-sama, [26:20] oug     the one who is misunderstanding     the nature of tonight's game is you. [26:25] was     Misunderstanding? [26:27] oug     We came here tonight for a genuine battle. [26:32] oug     And Akagi is the strongest     assassin we could find. [26:39] was     Ougi. You're serious, too? [26:46] was     Who do you think I am? [26:49] was     I could easily crush you. [26:55] yas     Washizu-san, I don't think you're in     a position to be saying that anymore. [27:03] yas     As you mentioned earlier, [27:06] yas     many young men have fallen victim     to Washizu Mahjong and died [27:12] yas     by having their blood     extracted with this device. [27:16] yas     I've heard that you used quite a lot of     money to sweep this fact under the rug, [27:21] yas     on us cops, too. [27:25] was     You rotten cop. [27:29] yas     And still, the assets remaining in this     mansion amount to 500 million yen. [27:34] yas     I heard you've got it in cash in the safe. [27:39] oug     Please bring the rest of your money out here. [27:44] oug     The only wager proportional to Akagi's demise [27:46] oug     is your own demise, Washizu-sama. [27:50] oug     Please accept! [27:58] was     Ougi, [28:01] was     and what about you? [28:04] was     I'm betting my entire fortune; [28:07] was     this kid is betting enough blood to die, [28:12] was     but you've got nothing to lose. [28:15] was     I can't allow you to oversee this game [28:19] was     if you're nothing but empty words. [28:21] was     Your arm! Your arm! [28:26] was     The moment the kid dies,     you lose one of your arms. [28:32] was     You wager your arm. [28:36] oug     I accept. [28:38] ---     Ougi! [28:39] was     Okamoto, get the money. [28:43] oka     Washizu-sama, please remain calm. [28:46] oka     Even for you, losing your     entire fortune would— [28:49] was     I won't lose it! [28:53] was     He only has 20,000 points     for six East-South matches. [28:59] was     I need outrank him in only     one, and it's all over. [29:04] was     There's not even the slightest     chance of me losing! Am I wrong? [29:13] oka     It is as you say.     It's unthinkable that you would lose. [29:18] oka     However... [29:19] was     However?! [29:21] oka     Even with that conviction,     I believe you need insurance. [29:25] oka     What if you were to reduce the game     from six East-South matches to two? [29:31] oka     Then there's no real chance that all     of the 500 million yen could be taken. [29:36] was     If it's just two East-South matches,     he could survive it, too. [29:42] oka     To prevent that, we could have a     rule where you alone can choose [29:49] oka     to continue or stop the game     every two East-South matches. [29:54] suz     That's right. [29:56] suz     If at the end of two East-South matches, [29:58] suz     you need only a tiny push to     kill him, you can keep going. [30:02] suz     But if the game is not in your favor     and it is looking dangerous, [30:05] suz     you can stop there. [30:08] oka     A battle of this magnitude requires     this bare minimum of insurance. [30:15] suz     Isn't this how you have built     up your entire bulletproof life? [30:21] suz     Besides, [30:23] suz     it was they who made the ridiculous     suggestion to raise the wager tenfold. [30:27] suz     It is only natural for you     to get this privilege. [30:34] aka     I don't mind. [30:38] aka     Having that right or not doesn't change anything. [30:43] aka     It's a pointless rule. [30:49] aka     If anything, Washizu is digging his     own grave with this privilege. [30:58] aka     It's a foolish condition that kills     his chance of winning. [31:07] was     Bring the money. [31:10] man     All right. [31:10] was     My entire fortune of 500 million yen. [31:17] was     Bring it here... right now! SIGN    First Game SIGN    East Hand 1 [31:56] aka     Shall we begin? [32:01] nar     No walls are built in Washizu Mahjong. [32:04] nar     The dice are only used to     determine who is dealer. [32:09] nar     Then, each player will take turns     drawing two tiles from a hole, [32:14] nar     wearing leather gloves to prevent     feeling which tile is grabbed. [32:32] nar     Once the starting hands are drawn, [32:33] nar     the dealer will draw one more tile from the hole. [32:36] nar     This is the dora indicator. [32:39] nar     After this tile has been set     in its place, it begins. [32:54] oug     What is the most effective     playing style in a game [32:57] oug     where everyone can see your tiles? [33:00] oug     I can't even begin to imagine it. [33:05] oug     We can't allow Washizu to finish the     East-South match in a higher rank, [33:09] oug     and we have to be mindful of direct hits [33:11] oug     or him winning with tsumo, too. [33:14] oug     Which means we must play     defensively all the way through. [33:17] oug     Otherwise we'll be snuffed     out in a heartbeat, [33:21] oug     and your life will be... [33:27] was     I really am excited to see how he plays. [33:32] was     He sure talked big. He better play big, too. [33:42] was     Then again, an ordinary player would     barely survive these conditions [33:48] was     with 200,000 points, let alone 20,000. [33:52] was     You're the reckless one here. [33:58] was     Being an ordinary genius will not     suffice to win this battle. [34:04] was     You need perception that overwhelms all others; [34:07] was     a divine gift. [34:10] was     You also need to be insane. [34:14] was     So do you possess this madness, kid? [34:31] was     Tenpai, huh? [34:34] was     This means I'll get to test him early on. [34:45] was     Riichi. [34:46] oug     So the first riichi goes to Washizu. [34:50] oug     But this isn't so terrifying.     His tenpai is plainly visible. [34:56] oug     Being able to see this much     reduces the possible waits. [35:00] oug     The 9 of circles, and 2 and 5     of bamboo are all known, [35:06] oug     so that limits his wait     to three possibilities. [35:11] oug     A 1 or 4 of characters wait, [35:19] oug     a 1, 4, or 7 of bamboo wait, [35:27] oug     or a 3 or 6 of bamboo wait. [35:34] oug     But considering the 2 and 3     of characters in his discards, [35:38] oug     I guess it's a 1, 4, or 7 of bamboo wait,     or a 3 or 6 of bamboo wait. [35:43] oug     I'm pretty sure that's a safe assumption. [35:49] oug     Akagi's in tenpai, too. [35:52] oug     If he discards the 4 of characters,     he'll be in tenpai with a 4 or 7 of circles wait. [35:56] oug     Usually you'd want to declare riichi with that, [35:59] oug     but the 4 of characters is one of the few     tiles that Washizu may be waiting on. [36:03] oug     On the other hand, discarding the 2 and 3     of characters could have been a trap [36:09] oug     to lure out the 1 and 4 of characters. [36:12] oug     His only choice is to play it safe. [36:15] oug     Hey, don't be reckless. You can't take     the chance of dealing into his hand! [36:32] oug     Yes. That's the ticket. [36:56] nar     Akagi plays it safe. [36:58] nar     He discards the 5 and 6 of circles,     keeping the 4 of characters, [37:03] nar     and is back in tenpai with a     3, 6, or 9 of characters wait. [37:23] aka     Ron. [37:26] aka     Pinfu, one dora. 2,000. [37:29] oug     Yes. That's good. [37:32] oug     Tighten your defenses and     slip through the cracks to win. [37:36] oug     This is the best way. [37:38] was     How boring. [37:42] was     You won't be able to survive     with that kind of play. [37:46] was     You're going to die. [37:49] was     If you had dealt that 4 of characters     in the seventh turn and [37:53] was     declared riichi with the 4 or 7 of circles wait,     I would've dealt into your hand right away. [37:58] was     With a mentanpin, ippatsu, and one dora, SIGN    Mentanpin - Combines menzen (closed hand), tanyao (hand comprised of only 2-8), and pinfu (only sequences and a 2 or more sided wait) [38:02] was     you'd have a mangan. [38:03] was     A haneman, if you got any reverse dora.     And you let it slip away. [38:08] was     You let that go in order to get [38:11] was     a pathetic 2,000 points from your partner. [38:15] oug     He's wrong. It's just hindsight logic. [38:18] oug     Don't let him get to you.     He's just trying to taunt you. [38:21] aka     No, what he's saying is fundamentally true. [38:25] ougg     Huh? [38:27] aKa     It's not that simple, though. [38:32] aKa     Geezer. [38:35] aKa     You'll realize it soon enough. Bit by bit. [38:43] nar     Akagi receives 2,000 points from Yasuoka, [38:47] nar     the 1,000 points from Washizu's riichi, [38:50] nar     and the equivalent in cash, 1 million yen. SIGN    First Game SIGN    East Hand 2 [39:10] nar     After losing the previous hand,     his opening hand isn't good. [39:21] nar     His draws are bad, too. [39:28] nar     Akagi, on the other hand,     in only the fourth turn... [39:34] oug     One tile from tenpai, huh?     And in such a good shape, too. [39:37] oug     It's like a quick and nimble hand made     to kick Washizu out of the dealer's spot. [39:48] oug     It couldn't have been better.     Tenpai! Let him call it! [40:05] aka     Pon. [40:08] oug     That's right. In this game,     Yasuoka's points have no meaning. [40:13] oug     This is a true duel between     Akagi and Washizu alone. [40:17] oug     That means he can support Akagi.     Come on, deal it! [40:24] aka     Ron. [40:27] aka     Red dragon, one dora. 2,000. [40:30] oug     Yes, consecutive wins. Good work, Akagi. [40:33] was     You're not worth my time. [40:37] was     Even if you wanted me     out of the dealer's spot, [40:41] was     you took a mere 2,000 from that ideal hand? [40:46] was     A bit longer and you could have been     in tenpai and declared riichi, [40:50] was     with the guarantee that your friend     would deal the red dragon! [40:55] was     You're trash! SIGN    First Game SIGN    East Hand 3 [41:12] was     All right, let me teach you [41:14] was     the strongest weapon of Washizu Mahjong, [41:18] was     the most effective way of playing it. [41:22] was     Riichi. [41:26] oug     This one's rough. [41:29] oug     With this many black tiles,     narrowing it down is hard. [41:33] oug     If he's going for a mentanpin,     there are any number of possible waits. [41:37] oug     Actually, it could be a chiitoitsu, too. SIGN    Chiitoitsu - Special yaku consisting of 7 pairs [41:45] was     You moron. There's no need to agonize. [41:48] was     Thinking is a waste of time. [41:56] was     Ron. [41:58] was     Riichi, ippatsu, tanyao. The reverse dora is... [42:05] was     One. [42:07] was     Mangan. [42:09] was     Understand now? [42:10] was     The riichi and the instant     deal of the winning tile is [42:13] was     one of the most powerful ways     to team up in Washizu Mahjong. [42:16] was     Even with the cheapest hand,     a riichi ippatsu is worth two han. [42:21] was     If a reverse dora is added,     it becomes a mangan. [42:25] was     I'm 100% certain you've got no chance of     winning with that gutless playing style. [42:30] was     There's nothing left for you but death. [42:36] oug     Akagi, if that's how he wants to play,     you have no choice but to join him in the ring. [42:41] oug     It has its dangers, but you have     to play along with this duel. [42:47] aka     Don't be so hasty. [42:51] oug     Akagi. [42:52] was     Even if you're not spurned on     to go totally on the offensive, [42:56] was     with this mangan, [42:57] was     I'm 2,000 points ahead.     You have no choice but to attack. [43:01] was     Because unless you overtake me again, [43:04] was     there's no way for you to survive. SIGN    First Game SIGN    East Hand 4 [43:40] oug     He's one tile from tenpai... [43:43] oug     The problem is what comes next. [43:58] oug     Huh? It looks like he could be in     tenpai, but he's not declaring riichi. [44:04] oug     No tenpai, then? [44:07] oug     No, not necessarily. [44:11] oug     If he wants to do the instant riichi     combination win, it's possible [44:15] oug     his underling doesn't have     his winning tile yet. [44:18] oug     That's why he's still waiting. [44:21] oug     We should think of his hand as     being in tenpai and play evasively. [44:25] oug     He's in tenpai! [44:27] oug     If he discards the 7 of bamboo,     his wait is for a 5 or 8 of characters. [44:33] oug     But... [44:36] oug     That's the worst! It's too risky! [44:40] oug     The 7 of bamboo is what he's after! [44:44] oug     It's near the dora and fits into     Washizu's hand. This must mean... [44:50] oug     A 5 or 8 of bamboo wait that straddles the 6? [44:58] oug     The 4 and 7 of bamboo are definitely     the most dangerous tiles. [45:03] oug     He absolutely can't discard them. [45:06] oug     He needs to hold on to that 7 of bamboo. [45:09] oug     Keep it, and play it safe. [45:11] oug     Discard the 7 and 9 of characters and wait     for something to connect to the 7 of bamboo. [45:15] oug     That's the best route. [45:26] oug     Are you crazy?! That's... [45:54] oug     Why could he deal such a risky tile? [45:58] oug     Did he somehow know that it was safe? [46:17] oug     The 5 and the 8 of bamboo passed, too. [46:20] oug     Does this mean we can assume that     6 of bamboo, the dora, is his head? [46:29] oug     Then his wait is for [46:34] oug     the 5 or 8 of circles straddling the 6, [46:40] oug     or... [46:44] oug     the 4 or 7 of circles. [46:48] oug     Those are basically the only options. [46:57] oug     No way! Why the 5 of circles?! [47:01] oug     He has to play it safe now.     Discarding it now would be reckless! [47:06] oug     He has to give up. [47:32] oug     What is he thinking?! [47:35] was     I see. I guess you're not completely worthless. [47:41] was     So you do know how to play a little bit. [47:57] was     It looks like you discovered     the second discard pile. [48:01] oug     The second discard pile? [48:14] oug     What's he talking about? Why did     Akagi think that tile would pass? [48:20] oug     What's the second discard pile? [48:30] oug     I get it. Why didn't I notice that sooner? [48:35] oug     If Washizu wants that riichi with the     immediate win, but isn't declaring riichi yet, [48:42] oug     there can be only two reasons. [48:45] oug     Either he's not in tenpai yet, or his     underling can't deal into his hand yet. [48:52] oug     But I believe Washizu is in tenpai right now. [48:56] oug     This means his underling     doesn't have his winning tile. [49:00] oug     Seen another way, all of Washizu's     underling's tiles are safe tiles. [49:05] oug     It really is a second discard pile. [49:09] oug     Akagi used this knowledge to discard     the 7 of bamboo and 5 of circles. [49:16] was     You're a bold one. [49:21] was     Even if they notice the second discard pile, [49:24] was     they usually don't get so bold. [49:27] oug     That's a good point. [49:29] oug     With Washizu, it's certainly possible [49:31] oug     that the second discard pile,     with its visible tiles, is actually a trap. [49:38] oug     But he didn't give that doubt     even a moment's thought. [49:43] oug     That boldness is who Akagi is. [49:48] oug     But how can he be so certain of himself? [49:54] (Flashback) yas     I hope Akagi's really here. [49:57] (Flashback) oug     I heard there's a kid who keeps     winning and is raking it in. [50:01] (Flashback) yas     I see.

[09:48] Was     Any other kind of play would be boring. [09:51] Was     That's the least amount of     talent you need to have. [09:56] Was     Fight back. [09:59] ---     With everything you've got! [10:01] Was     That very last shred of resistance when     I've got you backed into the corner, [10:07] Was     for me, is the ultimate pleasure. [10:13] oug     Akagi, you can get 260 cc of your blood back. [10:16] Aka     No. [10:17] Aka     Give me the money. [10:20] Aka     It's fine. I want the money. [10:23] Was     Akagi. [10:27] Was     Don't come crying to me later. SIGN    First Game SIGN    South Hand 2 [10:57] Yasu     Even though he got a win in, [10:59] Yasu     if he finishes behind Washizu, [11:01] Yasu     he'll lose over 2,000 cc of blood     when this East-South match ends. [11:06] Yasu     That means instant death. [11:09] Yasu     The fact that he's in an overwhelmingly     dangerous situation hasn't changed. [11:13] Yasu     And yet... [11:15] Aka     Pon. [11:17] Yasu     How can he be so calm? [11:22] Yasu     He needs to get Washizu out of     the dealer's seat in South Hand 2. [11:27] Yasu     I can't imagine that he wouldn't know     how crucial that will be for this match. [11:32] Yasu     So why isn't he being more greedy? [11:36] Yasu     Why? [11:53] Yasu     He's got two dora as his pair. [11:57] Yasu     One away from tenpai. [12:07] Yasu     But it looks like Washizu's got a fast hand, too. [12:12] Yasu     Akagi? Or Washizu? [12:15] Yasu     Who will be in tenpai first? [12:26] Yasu     All right! [12:27] Yasu     He's in tenpai with a 5, 8 of circles wait! [12:33] Yasu     Looking at it from Washizu's perspective, [12:38] Yasu     it's almost certain that Akagi's waits [12:40] Yasu     are for the 5, 8 of circles,     or 2, 5 of bamboo. [12:42] Yasu     None of his opponents will     ever deal into his hand. [12:46] Yasu     He can only count on his     own draws or Yasuoka. [12:51] Yasu     I guess he doesn't have it. [12:58] Yasu     He's got it! [13:05] Yasu     There it is! [13:06] Yasu     He's playing right into his hand! [13:13] Yasu     Why doesn't he take it? [13:15] Yasu     Akagi?! [13:16] Yasu     What's wrong? [13:18] Nar     At this time, Ougi can't see the     trap that is built into Akagi's hand. [13:24] Nar     The curse that Akagi's tiles cast     on Washizu, binding him in place. [13:30] Nar     From Washizu's perspective,     Akagi's wait can be [13:33] Nar     either a 5, 8 of circles,     or 2, 5 of bamboo. [13:35] Nar     Since one of those, the 8 of circles, passed,     only the 2 and 5 of bamboo remain. [13:42] Nar     It's only natural that he would think that. [13:46] Nar     That, however, is Akagi's trap. [13:52] oug     I see. [13:54] oug     Washizu sees a 3 and 4 of bamboo,     but those are an illusion. [14:00] oug     It's a trap to make him think     the wait is for 2 or 5 of bamboo. [14:05] Nar     Washizu is in tenpai,     but he is bound by this illusion. [14:13] Nar     If he can discard either the 2 or 5 of bamboo, [14:15] Nar     his underling can deal     into his hand right away. [14:19] Nar     But these two are exactly the     vital tiles he cannot discard. [14:36] oug     In the end, he has no choice     but to play it safe. [14:39] oug     The most definitive shackles that     only these clear tiles can create. [14:43] oug     I guess Akagi still has     enough time to spare to [14:47] oug     not have to win off Yasuoka right away. [15:01] Aka     Tsumo. [15:03] Aka     Red dragon, west wind, two dora. [15:05] Aka     Mangan. [15:08] Was     You let his 8 of circles pass     so you could draw it yourself? [15:16] Was     You little bastard. [15:19] oug     I get it. [15:22] oug     If he had taken Yasuoka's tile,     he couldn't have caught up to Washizu. [15:26] oug     But if he draws it himself, [15:28] oug     the 4,000 coming from Washizu     are enough to cause an upset. [15:31] oug     He's on top now, with a lead of 3,200 points. [15:35] oug     All right. [15:36] oug     Now you're back in the lead. [15:38] oug     Akagi, let's get 400 cc of blood back into— [15:40] Aka     Give me the money. [15:58] oug     Akagi, if you can survive two more hands,     you'll overcome this East-South match. [16:04] oug     Then it'll be a new start. [16:07] oug     You've just got to do this six more times. [16:10] oug     I know you can do it. SIGN    First Game SIGN    South Hand 3 [16:46] Was     Honestly... [16:48] Was     Such a reckless brat. [16:52] Was     And yet, he's not just a common idiot     who rushes blindly to his own death. [17:00] Was     This man is able to throw     away his own advantage. [17:06] Was     An ordinary daredevil isn't     capable of doing that. [17:10] Was     They might be able to ignore     disadvantages and rush in blindly, [17:15] Was     but they can't throw away tangible     advantages once they have them. [17:20] Was     Advantages are just that tempting. [17:25] Was     He could've had a guaranteed mangan     had he taken his friend's discard, [17:31] Was     but he threw it away to bet on a tsumo. [17:36] (Flashback) Aka     Tsumo. [17:38] (Flashback) Aka     Red dragon, west wind, two dora. [17:40] (Flashback) Aka     Mangan. [17:42] Was     That is not something an ordinary     person would be capable of. [17:47] Was     And he did it so effortlessly. [17:51] Was     He's made from a different kind of stuff     than the punks I've killed before now. [18:04] Was     But sometimes, even talent is meaningless. [18:10] Was     That's the essence of Mahjong. [18:38] Was     Tenpai. [18:40] Was     A single wait for the 1 of circles. [18:42] Was     This is interesting. [18:45] Was     I could take this to a multi-sided wait, [18:49] Was     but until then, I'll just wait on the 1 of circles. [19:01] Was     It looks like his 1 of circles might come out. [19:04] Was     If he goes into tenpai, he'll discard it. [19:09] Was     This! This is what makes     Mahjong so intoxicating! [19:18] oug     If he discards the 1 of circles,     he'll be in tenpai, [19:21] oug     with a wait for the 1, 4, 7 of bamboo. [19:25] oug     What will you do? [19:27] oug     If you can make the 1 of circles pass, [19:29] oug     Yasuoka can play into your hand     and you can secure your lead. [19:33] oug     But it's entirely possible that     Washizu is waiting for that very tile. [19:41] oug     Of course, he could also have     the 1 of circles as his pair, [19:48] oug     and have a closed wait for the 4 of circles, [19:54] oug     or a wait for the 3, 6 of circles. [19:57] oug     Alternatively, he could     also not be in tenpai yet. [20:02] oug     What are you going to do, Akagi? [20:07] oug     He's playing it safe. [20:09] Was     That's right. [20:11] Was     That's the kind of man you are. [20:14] Was     I need you to be able to see     through this sort of ruse. [20:26] Was     But remember, even if you see what's going on, [20:31] Was     still losing is what Mahjong is all about. [20:44] Was     Look at that! [20:45] Was     I drew the best possible tile. [20:53] Was     Riichi! [21:06] oug     He has a five-way wait on the     2, 5, 8 or the 3, 6 of circles. [21:10] oug     But as for Akagi... [21:14] oug     He had to break up his hand to     avoid discarding the 1 of circles, [21:18] oug     and is one tile from tenpai. [21:24] Was     You know, boy, our potential is     in completely different leagues. [21:30] Was     By using tricks, you were finally     able to approach my realm, [21:34] Was     but all I need to do is play normally     to stop you in your tracks. [21:42] Was     Tsumo! [21:45] Was     Riichi, ippatsu, tsumo, south wind, one dora. [21:52] Was     And the reverse dora is... [21:55] Was     There is no reverse dora,     but it's still a mangan. [22:00] Was     Looks like I overtook you. [22:05] Was     I've got you cornered, Akagi! [22:10] Oku     There's also the bonus for the tsumo. [22:12] Was     Right, right, right! [22:15] Was     Let's draw some blood, let's draw some blood! [22:22] oug     Akagi... SIGN    First Game SIGN    South Hand 4 [23:05] oug     One more hand. [23:08] oug     If Akagi doesn't win now, he'll lose. [23:12] oug     If he loses, there'll be a difference of over     50,000 points including the rank bonus. [23:16] oug     That corresponds to 5,000 CCs of blood. [23:21] oug     Instant death. [23:29] oug     His life is literally riding on this last hand. [23:34] oug     It's not the worst hand ever, but still... [23:38] oug     He's got a pair of bonus tiles. [23:43] oug     Yasuoka has the east wind and the red dragon. [23:46] oug     He could call them any time he wants. [23:49] oug     But... [23:52] (Flashback) Aka     Pon. [23:53] (Flashback) Aka     Pon. [23:55] (Flashback) Aka     Tsumo. [23:58] oug     He'd only get as far as 2,900 or 3,900 points. [24:02] oug     Even with a tsumo, it's not     enough to take the lead. [24:06] oug     So he'll need... [24:07] (Flashback) Aka     Chi. [24:10] (Flashback) Aka     Tsumo. [24:13] oug     A honitsu or... SIGN    Honitsu - Half flush including one suit and honors. [24:14] (Flashback) Aka     Pon.

[24:23] oug     Or to draw a 4 of bamboo dora     and use that somehow. [24:27] oug     Whichever route he takes,     if Washizu wins, it's over. [24:34] oug     His hand looks good from here. [24:36] oug     He's probably two or three tiles from tenpai. [24:40] oug     How can this be? [24:42] oug     He turned that green dragon     into a triplet already! [24:47] oug     And his underling has 3 of     characters and 5 of circles, [24:50] oug     which might be his winning tiles later. [24:52] oug     We don't have much time now. [24:55] oug     One extra turn could be fatal. [24:58] oug     He could put pressure on Washizu by calling [25:00] oug     tiles off Yasuoka and advancing his hand. [25:02] oug     Using the opaque tiles, he could     disguise his tenpai, too. [25:06] oug     Akagi, call it! [25:11] yas     You're going to wait? [25:25] oug     He got another good tile. [25:26] oug     One away from tenpai? [25:28] oug     We can't wait any longer! [25:46] oug     Akagi, you could call three times now. [25:50] Yasu     The opportunity has arrived. [25:52] Yasu     Ready, Akagi? Here I go! [25:57] Yasu     You want me to wait longer? [25:59] oug     What the hell are you thinking? [26:38] oug     That precious dora is going to be isolated! [26:45] oug     That's your discard?     When every second counts?! [27:18] oug     Is he going for a chiitoitsu? [27:22] oug     That's right. [27:23] oug     A dealer's chiitoitsu with     two dora is worth 9,600 points. [27:26] oug     Even if Yasuoka deals into his hand,     it would be enough to cause an upset. [27:30] oug     Also, from the opponent's     perspective, Akagi's hand [27:37] oug     could actually look like a chiitoitsu tenpai. [27:42] oug     If they fall for it, this could     force Washizu to slow down. [27:50] Was     Foolish. [27:51] Was     Too foolish. [27:53] Was     I guess you're trying to pretend     you're in tenpai with a chiitoitsu hand, [27:57] Was     but that's absolutely impossible. [28:02] Was     I know, because each suit     only has one opaque tile. [28:07] Was     You simply cannot make pairs with those tiles. [28:10] Was     In order for that to be     a chiitoitsu tenpai hand, [28:13] Was     two of those three opaque tiles need to be     the 4 of bamboo and the 7 of characters. [28:20] Was     But that's already not possible. [28:24] Was     I already have the opaque     dora tile in my hand. [28:29] Was     His chiitoitsu is one tile     away from tenpai, at best. [28:41] Was     Actually, it could be even worse. [28:46] Was     It's obvious that your luck     is terrible this last hand. [28:53] Was     If your hand was in, say, this configuration... [29:01] Was     Then why would you hesitate in this     last hand, with your life on the line? [29:11] (Flashback) Aka     Pon. [29:13] Was     You'd take your partner's east wind and win [29:16] Was     with the red dragon he's got ready for you. [29:20] (Flashback) Aka     East wind, red dragon, one dora. [29:22] (Flashback) Aka     With 30 fu as dealer, and 3 han, that's 5,800. [29:27] Was     Right now, there's a     6,800 point gap between us. [29:31] Was     It wouldn't be enough to cause an upset, [29:34] Was     but if he can stay dealer,     he could survive to continue the game. [29:40] Was     In this desperate situation, it's obvious     that he wants to make a move. [29:44] Was     Since he doesn't do that,     it means his hand is that bad. [29:51] Was     No matter how you look at it,     I can get my last tile to tenpai faster. [29:57] Was     On top of that, I can choose to go for either the     5 of characters wait or the 3, 6 of circles wait. [30:03] Was     My partner will be able to deal     into my hand either way. [30:12] Was     I've won. It's all taken care of. [30:22] Was     That means... [30:32] Was     He can deal into this 2, 5, 8     of bamboo wait, as well. [30:37] Was     Then I don't need this     closed 5, 6 of characters wait. [30:43] Was     One away from tenpai with a 2, 5, 8 of bamboo     and a 3, 6 of circles wait is even stronger. [31:22] Aka     Pon. [31:30] Aka     Pon. [31:39] Aka     Pon. [31:43] Was     Three calls, so quickly... [31:47] oug     So this is it. [31:49] oug     Akagi was waiting all this time     to create this opportunity. [31:54] oug     Because he knew he could call on the east wind,     red dragon, and 1 of characters anytime. [31:59] oug     There are two reasons. [32:02] oug     First, even if he couldn't     get into tenpai, he waited [32:05] oug     for his hand to fill up with character tiles. [32:08] oug     He waited until his hand     would look like he's in tenpai, [32:12] oug     like this, to Washizu. [32:14] oug     And the other, [32:16] oug     very important reason... [32:19] oug     Akagi was waiting to     discard this 4 of characters. [32:25] Nar     That's right. [32:27] Nar     Calling east wind, red dragon, and 1 of     characters before discarding his 4 of characters [32:33] Nar     and suggesting a honitsu tenpai hand [32:35] Nar     would not have been a great threat to Washizu. [32:40] Nar     He could have kept the 4 and 6 of characters     in his hand and simply waited for the 5. [32:46] Nar     However... [32:53] Nar     Once he broke up the closed wait     by discarding the 4 of characters, [32:57] Nar     Akagi's three calls completely     changed the situation. [33:01] Nar     Now he couldn't discard the 6 of characters. [33:06] Nar     Only now could he actually     force Washizu to stop. [33:12] Nar     Perfect calls. [33:14] Nar     He put everything into this bluff. [33:17] oug     Now we'll have to see if this     will actually work on Washizu. [33:22] Was     I see. [33:24] Was     He was waiting for me to break up     my closed wait on the character tiles. [33:29] Was     Don't think you've got me, though. [33:34] Was     There's no doubt that the     luck's with me this hand. [33:42] Was     Tenpai. [33:46] Was     If this 6 of characters passes, [33:49] Was     I'll be in tenpai, with a 2, 5, 8 of bamboo wait. [33:53] Was     He has the 5 of bamboo, [33:56] Was     so I could win right away. [33:59] Was     With this 6 of characters, I win! [34:02] Was     Normally, that configuration means     that this 6 of characters is his target. [34:08] Was     I would never be able to discard it, but now, [34:11] Was     the game's flow is on my side. [34:14] Was     His tenpai is likely in a closed     wait for the 8 of characters. [34:40] Was     No, no. [34:42] Was     This is a bad habit of mine. [34:44] Was     I always want to finish them off quickly. [34:48] Was     He has a closed wait for the 8 of characters,     or possibly, he's not in tenpai. [34:52] Was     I don't think he will win     from this 6 of characters, [34:57] Was     and yet it's not 100% safe, either. [35:06] Was     Which means there's no reason     to push myself to discard it. [35:13] Nar     He's right. [35:15] Nar     It doesn't matter if Akagi is waiting for the 8, [35:21] Nar     or for the 6, 9 of characters. [35:24] Nar     There are very few of     those tiles left anyway. [35:29] Nar     For starters, Suzuki has     many of them in his hand. [35:33] Nar     Washizu has a 6 of characters     in his own hand, [35:39] Nar     and a 9 of characters in the discard pile. [35:43] Nar     And Akagi has two 6 of characters in his hand. [35:48] Nar     Which means that whether Akagi is waiting     for an 8, or a 6, 9 of characters, [35:54] Nar     there is only one 8 and one 9 left. [36:00] Nar     That's it. [36:04] Was     There's no way he can draw them himself. [36:08] Was     His tenpai is effectively dead. [36:10] Was     There's no reason for me to     risk playing into his hand. [36:19] Was     I can still be competitive, even if     I play it safe here and rebuild. [36:30] Oug     He survived. [36:33] Oug     Had he discarded the 6 of characters,     he probably would've been in tenpai. [36:36] Oug     Then he could've won by having     his underling play into his hand. [36:40] Oug     All of Akagi's waits are basically dead. [36:42] Oug     I guess Akagi's bad luck was actually fortunate. [36:45] Oug     Or maybe this can be attributed to the     reason Washizu's had a life of success. [36:52] Oug     He used his ability to calculate and his     shrewdness to amass the world's riches. [36:58] Oug     If Akagi really is in a honitsu tenpai, [37:00] Oug     he'll never discard that     obvious 6 of characters. [37:03] Oug     If there's a path to victory without any risk, [37:07] Oug     that's definitely the route he'll choose. [37:10] Oug     There's no way Washizu would play that now. [37:21] Was     So he wasn't in tenpai? [37:25] Oug     Good! Looks like luck is starting     to turn Akagi's way, too. [37:30] Oug     I see. [37:32] Oug     That was his aim from the start. [37:34] Oug     If Washizu and Akagi had both     simply let their hands [37:37] Oug     progress normally, Washizu     would have won the hand first. [37:41] Oug     To win, Akagi had to force Washizu     to make a compromise somewhere. [38:07] Was     What the hell is he doing? [38:11] Was     There's no doubt that he's been     going for a honitsu up until now. [38:15] Was     But now that he's thrown away the 7 of     characters and kept the 3 of circles, [38:19] Was     that is no longer possible. [38:21] Was     Which means... [38:23] Was     a toitoi? [38:25] Was     If that opaque tile is a 3 of circles, [38:29] Was     he has a toitoi with east winds     and red dragons, for a mangan. [38:42] Was     It's over. [38:44] Was     If he's in tenpai, [38:50] Was     the other will play into     his hand and it'll be over. [38:59] Was     Of course. [39:01] Was     You're not going to get a     toitoi hand that easily. [39:18] Was     Luck is on my side this hand. [39:30] Was     That's right. [39:32] Was     Did you think you'd get your hands     on the last 3 of circles that easily? [39:39] Was     While you're wasting time,     I'll be making my comeback. [39:47] Was     Yes. [39:48] Was     This will work. [39:49] Was     Nice and easy. [39:53] Was     Now I can have an ideal three-way     wait on the bamboo tiles. [39:57] Was     I'll keep this. [40:02] Was     The question is, which ones do I discard? [40:12] Was     We're already on the 13th turn. [40:15] Was     There aren't many draws left. [40:18] Was     Then I should probably make     it a 5, 8 of characters wait [40:22] Was     so Suzuki can deal into my hand right away. [40:26] Was     I'd like to get rid of the     5 and 6 of circles, but... [40:35] Was     He's an odd kid. [40:40] Was     His game of Mahjong's basically     on the verge of death, [40:45] Was     yet it seems to be closely following mine. [40:49] Was     It's positioned in a way that     restricts my movements again. [40:54] Was     It may be that he's working     toward a toitoi hand [41:01] Was     with a 2, 5 of circles wait, like this... [41:06] Was     Or with a 1, 4 of circles wait, like this. [41:13] Was     But since he already has a     1 of circles in his discards, [41:18] Was     he could have a closed     wait on the 4 of circles. [41:23] Was     At any rate, he could also win with     just the east winds and red dragons. [41:29] Was     For the dealer, a 40 fu,     2 han hand is worth 3,900. [41:36] Was     So even if he wins with a tsumo,     it wouldn't be enough to take the lead. [41:41] Was     He'll just get to stay dealer. [41:44] Was     But if I play into his hand,     it would be a different story. [41:52] (Flashback) Aka     Ron. [41:57] Was     If I deal into that 3,900 hand,     it would be enough to put him on top. [42:03] Was     Which means discarding this 5 and 6     of circles would be reckless. [42:12] Was     Wait. [42:15] Was     That's right! [42:17] Was     I can get Suzuki to test it out for me. [42:22] Was     I'll have him deal the 5 of circles, [42:25] Was     and if it passes, I can discard it, too. [42:28] Was     He won't take over the lead     if Suzuki deals into his hand. [42:33] Was     It won't be any skin off my nose. [42:37] Was     This is the best way. [43:10] Was     It went through. [43:14] Was     So that means he's got a closed     wait for the 4 of circles, [43:17] Was     or is possibly not even in tenpai. [43:20] Was     Either way, seeing that he     can't win off my 5 of circles, [43:25] Was     it's the end of the road for him. [43:29] Was     I won! [43:30] Was     Now I'll get the 5 of characters     from Suzuki and it'll be over! [43:36] Was     This brat was no match for me, after all. [43:40] Was     There is simply nobody who can defeat me! [43:45] Aka     Ron. [43:56] Aka     That's a direct hit of 3,900 points. [43:58] Aka     I'm back on top. [44:01] Was     How could you ignore Suzuki's 5 of circles? [44:08] oug     You did it, Akagi! [44:09] oug     Now you can get all your blood back. [44:13] Aka     The first game is over. [44:20] Was     How could you ignore it? [44:29] Was     True, he could very well have predicted     that I'd discard the 5 of circles. [44:36] Was     First, I discarded the 6 of circles     when my hand looked like this, [44:42] Was     and then I discarded the 5 of circles. [44:49] (Flashback) ---     Ron. [44:51] Was     With Washizu Mahjong's clear tiles, [44:55] Was     making such predictions isn't that difficult. [45:00] Was     So he may have predicted [45:02] Was     the sequence of Suzuki discarding     the 5 of circles after I discarded my 6 [45:06] Was     as paving the way for me to     discard the 5 of circles again, [45:10] Was     and ignored Suzuki's 5 of circles based on that. [45:18] Was     Still... [45:22] Was     That's something you could say     only under normal circumstances. [45:29] Was     This is different. [45:32] Was     If I had won this hand,     he would have lost his life! [45:37] Was     In those circumstances, [45:39] Was     there's no way that he could     have ignored that 5 of circles!

[14:12] oug     I doubt Akagi is going to     deal into Washizu's hand, [14:15] oug     but what really scares me is     Washizu getting a mangan tsumo, [14:19] oug     or Suzuki playing into his hand     and making it a haneman. [14:23] oug     So long as that doesn't happen, Akagi can win. [14:29] oug     It's so-so. [14:31] oug     I can't say it's the best hand, [14:32] oug     but depending on his draws,     he could win quickly. [14:35] oug     The problem is Washizu. [14:40] oug     He's got a lot of black tiles,     but his hand doesn't look good. [14:43] oug     Looks like we basically have this. [14:46] oug     You can do this, Akagi! [14:50] oug     Huh? What's going on? [14:53] oug     There's nothing particularly worrisome here. [14:56] oug     That could barely be a mangan hand, let alone... [15:02] oug     The dora is the west wind! [15:04] oug     And since Washizu is the west player,     it's worth more for him now! [15:08] oug     If he calls that, he's already     guaranteed a mangan. [15:11] oug     And he might actually have more than one. [15:13] oug     He might have a pair. [15:16] oug     So how should we consider     this west wind in Akagi's hand? [15:21] oug     If Washizu has two west winds,     then it's preventing a concealed triplet. [15:26] oug     If he only has one, [15:27] oug     then Akagi's holding on to     Washizu's single wait for a second. [15:32] oug     Either way, one false move [15:34] oug     with this west wind will end up costing his life. [15:39] oug     He won't be able deal it so easily. [15:44] oug     Does he have no choice but to keep it? [15:47] oug     That extremely limits what     Akagi can do with his own hand. [15:51] oug     This west wind is a real demon. [15:55] oug     Maybe he should dump it as soon as possible. [15:58] oug     But should Washizu already     have two west winds, [16:02] oug     that would be the absolute worst move. [16:04] oug     A folly that would allow Washizu     to call his own wind, and the dora. [16:08] oug     It would be an irreversible error. [16:10] oug     I can't imagine anything worse. [16:13] oug     What are you going to do, Akagi? [16:22] oug     Of course not. [16:25] oug     There's no reason to discard the     west wind right off the bat. [16:28] oug     It's not too late to discard the west wind     after he's observed Washizu for a while. [16:35] Was     Chi. [16:45] Was     Pon! [16:46] oug     What? [16:49] oug     This can't be... [16:51] oug     In seconds, his hand turned into a green dragon     honitsu with two dora, worth five han. [16:55] oug     It's entirely possible to take     the lead with a mangan tsumo. [17:00] oug     There's no way... [17:01] oug     I don't think he's in tenpai yet, but still... [17:07] oug     Akagi can't discard that west wind now! [17:10] oug     If he does and Washizu calls it, [17:12] oug     he'd have a green dragon, west wind     honitsu with three dora. A haneman! [17:17] oug     He wouldn't even need a tsumo. [17:19] oug     Having Suzuki deal into his hand     would be enough to take the lead. [17:23] oug     If that happens, Akagi will die. [17:27] oug     From the starting hands, I was sure     we'd make an easy getaway, but now... [17:32] oug     It's like he looked up and     death is right behind him. [17:37] oug     How can you still be so calm?! [17:44] (Flashback) Aka     This is where the abnormal is normal. [17:53] (Flashback) oug     To begin with, betting one's life on     a Mahjong game is already abnormal. [17:59] (Flashback) oug     Which means that in this abnormal world, [18:02] (Flashback) oug     the abnormal is normal. [18:04] (Flashback) oug     That's the right instinct. [18:06] (Flashback) oug     Is that why you can keep so calm? [18:08] (Flashback) Aka     To continue playing in this     kind of extreme situation, [18:13] (Flashback) Aka     being able to maintain your     concentration is your lifeline. [18:20] (Flashback) oug     So thinking he's safe from a mangan hand [18:22] (Flashback) oug     just because you had your blood     transfused back into you [18:24] (Flashback) oug     was the wrong way of thinking, then. [18:28] (Flashback) aka     That would mean one didn't mind     dealing into another's hand. [18:31] (Flashback) aka     In which case, your determination     to read your opponents completely [18:35] (Flashback) aka     in every situation would deteriorate. [18:37] (Flashback) oug     I guess you're right. [18:39] (Flashback) oug     You'd start saying "probably," [18:41] (Flashback) oug     and being satisfied with     90% certainty and a rough idea [18:45] (Flashback) oug     of your opponent's hand. [18:47] (Flashback) oug     Playing Mahjong like that leads to     failure at the most crucial moment. [18:52] (Flashback) oug     Both foresight and determination deteriorate. [18:57] (Flashback) Aka     Impurities will start to filter     into the thought process. [19:01] (Flashback) oug     Impurities? [19:04] (Flashback) Aka     Fear. [19:06] (Flashback) oug     Fear? [19:08] (Flashback) Aka     If you relax even for a moment,     it will make its way in. [19:12] (Flashback) Aka     Fear herds people towards the easier path, [19:19] (Flashback) Aka     and then devours them. [19:25] oug     I knew that, and yet, [19:27] oug     I was naïve enough to consider     transferring his blood back. [19:31] oug     A heart that pursues safety is a demon. [19:37] oug     Pursuing safety and finding a temporary     haven will relax your mind for a while. [19:43] oug     This relaxation is what's bad. [19:47] oug     In fact, since I was so certain of Akagi's victory, [19:51] oug     this predicament has me all the more shaken. [19:56] oug     On this point, Akagi's composure is unwavering. [20:01] oug     He's most likely not making any     shallow reads of Washizu's hand. [20:06] oug     Yes or no. [20:09] oug     Black or white... [20:15] oug     Wait a second. [20:17] oug     Since Akagi didn't discard that west     wind, and kept it in his hand... [20:24] oug     That means he assumes Washizu has     not just one, but two west winds?! [20:33] oug     Oh, no! [20:34] oug     That's terrible! [20:36] oug     He no longer needs a tsumo to take the lead. [20:38] oug     He's all clear for a haneman! [20:40] oug     Which means... [20:41] oug     annihilation! [20:49] Was     All right. [20:51] Was     I've got you now. [20:53] Was     One more step and I'll kill you. [20:56] Was     Boy... [20:58] Was     Tremble before me. [21:08] oug     His hand advanced again. [21:14] Was     Pon. [21:17] oug     And again... [21:26] oug     Now he's discarding circles. [21:29] oug     It's no use. [21:30] oug     At this rate, we won't even     last until Akagi's next draw. [21:34] oug     If Suzuki draws a west wind now, it's all over. [21:41] oug     Please, no... [21:52] oug     We've survived. [21:59] oug     But it's still hopeless. [22:03] oug     If Akagi was at least in tenpai, [22:06] oug     he might be able to sneak through     without discarding the west wind. [22:09] oug     But he's still two tiles from tenpai. [22:12] oug     And he's still working on     getting rid of his honor tiles. [22:15] oug     We'll have to rely on Yasuoka for this one. [22:20] oug     Yasuoka's also two tiles from tenpai. [22:26] oug     Is praying all we can do? [22:29] oug     Pray that our opponent keeps     drawing useless tiles? [22:50] oug     He'll die. [22:52] oug     One misstep and that     west wind will end it all. [22:56] oug     Akagi's going to be killed. [23:06] Nar     At this point of the game,     the west wind Suzuki drew [23:10] Nar     was like a weapon threatening     to take Akagi's life. [23:15] Nar     Should Washizu have a tenpai hand like this, [23:20] Nar     he could have Suzuki discard the west wind... [23:24] (Flashback) was     Pon. [23:24] nar     ...then switch to a naked wait, [23:27] nar     and have Suzuki immediately     play that tile into his hand again. [23:33] (Flashback) Was     Ron. [23:38] Nar     With this, [23:39] Nar     he'd have a green dragon, west wind     honitsu with three dora. A haneman. [23:43] Nar     His hand may also like this. [23:48] Nar     With a chanta tenpai, he would have     once again called on the west wind... SIGN    Chanta - Hand with a terminal (1 or 9) or honor tile in each set. [23:54] (Flashback) Was     Pon. [23:56] Nar     ...then switch to a naked     wait on the 9 of characters, [24:02] Nar     and have Suzuki deal it into his hand. [24:05] (Flashback) Was     Ron. [24:10] Nar     That would be a green dragon, west wind     chanta with three dora, a haneman. [24:15] Nar     He would retake the lead. [24:18] oug     If the west wind comes out now, [24:21] oug     Akagi will lose his life and I'll lose an arm. [24:25] oug     We'll lose all the money, too. [24:27] oug     Total annihilation! [24:30] oug     If the west wind comes out now... [24:58] oug     We're saved. [25:01] ---     All right. [25:02] oug     Now is the time to get rid of your west wind. [25:05] oug     If Washizu couldn't call on it now,     it means his hand isn't ready for it. [25:10] oug     Now is the time to get rid of it! [25:16] oug     No! [25:18] oug     Why didn't you discard     the west wind, the dora?! [25:20] oug     It's the shackle that's been     binding you this whole time! [25:24] oug     If you wait another turn, [25:26] oug     then it's entirely feasible that     Washizu will change his wait! [25:30] oug     For instance, if he didn't     have a honitsu already, [25:32] oug     but his hand looked like this instead... [25:37] oug     If he draws the 7 of bamboo, [25:38] oug     he can switch to a double pon wait     for the west wind and 7 of bamboo. [25:42] oug     Once that happens, you won't be able     to discard the west wind anymore. [25:45] oug     With a green dragon, west wind,     three dora direct hit, he'd take the lead. [25:49] oug     There's no way you could discard it. [25:51] oug     If you think of that, [25:53] oug     wasn't this your only opportunity     to get rid of the west wind? [25:56] oug     So why didn't you? [26:00] oug     Wait. [26:03] oug     Is it possible that Akagi thinks [26:05] oug     Washizu has a single wait on a dora? [26:08] oug     Is that why he won't discard his west wind? [26:21] (Flashback) Was     Ron. [26:23] (Flashback) Was     Green dragon honitsu, two dora. [26:25] (Flashback) Was     Mangan. [26:28] oug     There's a 9,200 point gap between them. [26:31] oug     A tile dealt by his underling won't be enough. [26:34] oug     But Akagi, if you play into his     hand, it's a different story. [26:39] oug     You'd be easily overtaken and     end up 6,800 points behind. [26:44] oug     Is that why you're wavering? [26:55] oug     Tenpai, an iipeikou hand with     a closed 2 of characters wait. [26:59] oug     But to get there, he needs to discard it. [27:03] oug     Akagi is wavering. [27:06] oug     He's wavering on the chance that Washizu     is waiting on that single west wind. [27:10] oug     If he has a single west wind wait, [27:11] oug     he'll have a green dragon honitsu     with two dora, a mangan. [27:14] oug     He would overturn Akagi's lead. [27:16] oug     It's not a tile he can discard. [27:18] oug     But if Washizu has two west winds     and is waiting on something else, [27:24] oug     keeping the west wind in his hand will     cause a fatal stall in Akagi's game. [27:28] oug     If Akagi doesn't get into tenpai soon, [27:30] oug     he'll lose even that faint chance he has now. [27:34] oug     Is it a single wait? A pair? [27:36] oug     Will he discard it? Will he keep it? [27:38] oug     Which will it be? [27:39] oug     Akagi! [27:56] Was     That's just fine. [28:04] Was     Relax. [28:10] oug     Say what you want. [28:11] oug     Discarding that west wind here was huge. [28:15] oug     And now he's in tenpai. [28:17] oug     Iipeikou, with a closed wait     on the 2 of characters. [28:19] oug     Getting it from Yasuoka would work. [28:21] oug     Now it's just a question of     who gets the tile faster. [28:25] Nar     Of course, Washizu is currently in tenpai. [28:29] Nar     It just happened to be that the tile he     was waiting for was a 2 of characters. [28:34] Nar     The same wait as Akagi's. [28:36] Nar     At first glance, it might seem like their     chances of winning are the same, [28:42] Nar     but that couldn't be further from the truth. [28:45] Nar     Akagi can only win with this 2 of characters, [28:50] Nar     but Washizu can use either that or the dora,     the west wind, to change his hand. [28:56] Nar     If his underling deals into his hand right away, [28:58] Nar     his hand's potential increases. [29:00] Nar     For instance, if he draws the 1 of characters [29:03] Nar     and changes his wait to this double pon wait, [29:06] Nar     he can win by Suzuki dealing     the west wind into his hand. [29:11] (Flashback) Was     Ron. [29:12] Nar     Alternatively, [29:14] Nar     if Suzuki draws that 1 of characters... [29:18] (Flashback) was     Pon. [29:20] nar     He can just call the west wind and then     have Suzuki deal that into his hand. [29:26] (Flashback) Was     Ron. [29:30] Nar     Either would be enough for     the haneman upset with the [29:33] Nar     green dragon, west wind     chanta, with three dora. [29:36] Nar     On top of that, if you stick with the     situation where Washizu calls the west wind, [29:43] Nar     then if Washizu draws any honor or circle     tiles near the ones in Suzuki's hand, [29:49] Nar     he can win from those, too. [29:53] Nar     Basically, once he draws one, [29:56] Nar     he can keep it in his hand     and discard a character tile. [30:01] Nar     Then he just has to call Suzuki's west wind [30:04] Nar     and have Suzuki deal into his single wait. [30:09] Nar     That will become the haneman     hand that will overtake Akagi. [30:15] Nar     Under the premise that he calls the     west wind for this haneman win, [30:21] Nar     Washizu has a total of eight     different tiles he can wait on. [30:24] Nar     On the other hand, Akagi only has one. [30:27] Nar     Only this closed 2 of characters. [30:30] Nar     Akagi is at a huge disadvantage. [30:37] oug     This is a chance to change his hand! [30:39] oug     What will he do? [30:41] oug     Will he stick with his closed     wait for the 2 of characters? [30:46] oug     Or discard the 3 of characters to     get a 1, 4, 7 of characters wait? [30:54] oug     Or discard the 1 of characters     to get a 3, 6 of characters wait? [30:59] oug     No matter what he does, [31:01] oug     Yasuoka doesn't have the     winning tile to give him. [31:04] oug     So he should discard the 3 of characters, [31:07] oug     and go for the more favorable     1, 4, 7 of characters wait? [31:10] oug     Or will he stick with his closed wait     for the 2 of characters and the iipeikou [31:14] oug     that doesn't require declaring riichi? [31:18] oug     In any case, he should just     stay in tenpai for now. [31:28] Aka     Riichi. [31:30] oug     No! [31:31] oug     Why would he declare riichi now?! [31:35] oug     Just by putting down a riichi wager, [31:38] oug     the gap between him and Washizu     is decreased by 2,000 points. [31:41] oug     It'll shrink from 9,200 points to just 7,200. [31:46] oug     If he does that, Washizu only needs     the 8,000 points from a mangan [31:50] oug     to win with a tile dealt by Suzuki. [31:53] oug     He gave up the restriction requiring     12,000 points for a haneman hand. [31:57] oug     That is a bad idea, any way you look at it. [32:01] Yasu     A riichi right now makes no sense. [32:05] Yasu     Surely you must have worked that out already? [32:10] oug     It'd be one thing if he had     discarded the 3 of characters [32:13] oug     for a 1, 4, 7 of characters wait, [32:15] oug     but waiting for the 3 and 6 of characters? [32:18] oug     That's the worst choice he could have made. [32:21] oug     Akagi! [32:23] oug     This is abnormal. [32:25] (Flashback) Aka     This is where the abnormal is normal. [32:29] oug     Akagi, don't tell me... [32:33] oug     Did you have some kind of premonition     in this extreme, abnormal situation? [32:37] oug     You think Yasuoka is going to draw a 3 or 6? [32:42] oug     If that's your reasoning, I can sort     of buy it, but could that really... [32:48] oug     Is Yasuoka really going to draw it? [33:18] Was     You've dug your own grave, Akagi. [33:23] Was     Since you declared riichi, I thought the     cop would deal straight into your hand. [33:30] Was     But that is not the case, [33:34] Was     so what does this mean? [33:38] Was     You buckled under the pressure of the match, [33:40] Was     and stumbled for me on your own accord? [33:45] Was     With that riichi wager, our point     difference is now 7,200 points. [33:51] Was     If Suzuki deals into my hand,     a mangan will be enough. [33:55] Was     If I get a tsumo, a 5,200 point hand [33:58] Was     plus the 2,600 points     I'd get from you as dealer [34:01] Was     would give me the lead. [34:03] Was     My advantage over you was just     too much, too overwhelming. [34:08] Was     Maybe you thought I would end     the match in the next turn, [34:12] Was     so you decided to make it all or nothing. [34:17] Was     You figured that if you'll die anyway, [34:19] Was     you wanted to die while     running towards victory, [34:23] Was     so you wagered your last     ray of hope on that riichi. [34:30] Was     But that riichi actually opened the final door. [34:38] Was     The door that will drag you to your death... [34:43] Was     The door to hell. [34:52] Was     Pon. [34:53] Was     I no longer need a haneman. [34:56] Was     A mangan with the green dragon,     west wind, and three dora will suffice. [35:02] Was     This decides it. [35:04] Was     Now I win. [35:10] oug     No! [35:11] oug     If he deals into his hand, it's over! [35:21] Was     I won. [35:23] Aka     Ron. [35:26] Aka     Too bad. [35:28] Aka     It's a head bump. [35:37] Was     A 3, 6 of characters wait? [35:41] Was     With that hand, you could have [35:43] Was     stayed with the closed wait for the     2 of characters, for an iipeikou. [35:47] Was     Or a 1, 4, 7 of characters wait would     have given you more possibilities. [35:52] Was     Yet you chose the 3, 6 of characters wait? [35:59] Aka     You were getting all worried,     so you tried to force an ending. [36:04] Aka     If you'd waited another two or     three turns, you could've won. [36:06] Aka     What are you scared of? [36:10] Aka     You're actually quite the     coward, Washizu Iwao. [36:19] Was     Boy... [36:25] Nar     The second game is over. [36:28] Nar     Akagi seemed to be in a tight spot,     but at the end, he has 43,200 points. [36:35] Nar     Washizu has 32,700 points. [36:39] Nar     Akagi wins again, by a margin     of over 10,000 points. SIGN    End of Game Two SIGN    points SIGN    Washizu SIGN    points SIGN    Akagi SIGN    Wager [36:47] Nar     With the ranking bonus and wager, SIGN    Wager     Ranking Bonus SIGN    Ranking     Bonus [36:51] Nar     Akagi is 50,500 points ahead of Washizu.

[37:08] nar     Combined with his earnings     from the first game, [37:11] nar     his winnings already exceed 100 million yen. [37:18] Yasu     You're sure you don't want your blood back? [37:19] Aka     Stop nagging me. [37:21] Yasu     Whoa, hold on. [37:24] Yasu     Akagi, why? Why do you insist     on refusing the transfusion? [37:29] Yasu     Doing that won't benefit you at all. [37:33] Aka     That's not entirely true. [37:35] Yasu     Huh? [37:37] Aka     That last hand, for example. [37:39] Aka     Not returning any of my blood     is what led me to victory. [37:44] Yasu     Led you? [37:47] Aka     Yeah. [37:49] Aka     This last hand, my starting tiles were horrible. [37:53] Aka     That was because there was one tile     among them I could never discard... [37:59] Aka     This west wind. [38:02] Aka     Not only was it the dora,     it was also Washizu's wind. [38:06] Aka     That one tile froze my entire hand. [38:09] Aka     The possible wins were extremely limited. [38:13] Aka     It wasn't something I could     solve on my own power. [38:17] Aka     I needed Washizu to make a mistake. [38:19] Yasu     A mistake? [38:21] Aka     Yeah. [38:24] Aka     Well, the calls he made weren't a big problem, [38:30] Aka     but after his 1 of circles     pon in the seventh turn, [38:34] Aka     he discarded a 3 of circles,     an obvious mistake. [38:38] (Flashback) Was     Pon. [38:39] Aka     Washizu called on this 1 of     circles to get into tenpai, [38:44] Aka     but instead of this chanta with limited waits, [38:46] Aka     keeping the 1 of circles pair and     the 3 of circles to go for a honitsu [38:50] Aka     would've given him a much     higher chance of winning. [38:54] Aka     That was a bad move. [38:56] Aka     There was no need to rush,     but he ended up rushing anyway. [39:01] Aka     He prioritized his current     hand over everything else. [39:06] Aka     In the end, he was being pressured by [39:11] Aka     my refusal to transfuse blood. [39:14] Yasu     I see. [39:17] Aka     As a result, that mistake came to be. [39:20] Aka     His rushing is what gave me a chance. [39:26] Aka     It gave me a chance to discard the west     wind that I couldn't discard until then. [39:32] Aka     That one discard made my     hand start to progress. [39:39] Aka     His trump card, the west wind, lost its power, [39:43] Aka     and instead, mine gained power. [39:48] Aka     After that, it clouded Washizu's eyes. [39:50] Aka     It became an imaginary force. [39:53] Yasu     An imaginary force? [39:56] Yasu     You just happened to have a     west wind that you couldn't discard. [40:01] oug     Wait a second. [40:02] oug     I also have a few questions     about that west wind. [40:05] oug     I'll start from the top. [40:07] oug     First, tell me about the west wind     dora you had in your starting hand. [40:11] oug     Obviously you knew Washizu had     one dora west wind in his hand. [40:15] oug     It was a dora and also his wind,     so of course it was difficult to discard. [40:23] oug     On top of that, if Washizu already     had a pair of west winds, [40:27] oug     the moment he called it, he'd have a mangan. [40:30] oug     Of course you couldn't discard it. [40:35] oug     On the other hand, if he only had one, [40:38] oug     you should have discarded it before [40:40] oug     he had a chance to collect any more. [40:42] oug     You talk about it like you were already     certain he had a pair of west winds. [40:46] oug     How could you have known that? [40:48] oug     We're talking about the starting hands,     before anyone had discarded anything. [40:52] ---     Ougi-san. [40:55] Aka     He had already discarded many tiles. [40:58] oug     What? [41:00] Aka     I had two East-South matches' [41:02] Aka     worth of tiles to figure out his discard patterns. [41:06] Aka     You can actually see quite a lot,     even if that's just that [41:09] Aka     there will be some rough waters ahead. [41:14] Aka     Taking into account that feeling,     Washizu's own luck, [41:19] Aka     and his natural ability at winning, [41:22] Aka     I knew this last hand wouldn't     end without a fight. [41:27] Aka     With that in mind, I wasn't surprised     that the dora was his wind. [41:40] Aka     Washizu had one of those tiles, and I     got one of them in my starting hand. [41:46] Aka     Which means Washizu had luck, and I did not. [41:51] Aka     This was no mere coincidence. [41:54] Aka     The heavens literally sent     this tile to help Washizu win. [42:01] Aka     Had the hand progressed normally, [42:07] Aka     Washizu would have won. [42:12] Aka     Had I discarded it and had he     called on it, he'd have a mangan. [42:14] Aka     There was nothing more to do. [42:15] Aka     Still, if I just held on to it, [42:18] Aka     I wouldn't be able to move. It'd be my death. [42:21] Aka     My only hope for escape was     a misstep from Washizu. [42:28] (Flashback) Was     Chi. [42:30] (Flashback) Was     Pon! [42:30] Aka     Like what happened. [42:31] Aka     Being in tenpai sounds great, but calling     too many tiles restricted his hand. [42:32] (Flashback) ---     Pon. [42:36] Aka     I had no choice but to wait until     he couldn't move any further, [42:39] Aka     and then to discard it. [42:41] Aka     Just discarding it wasn't enough. [42:43] Aka     I needed to set up the situation to discard it. [42:47] Aka     If I screwed up the order, it was over. [42:53] Oug     Wait. [42:54] Oug     If you knew he had a pair of     west winds, that makes no sense. [42:58] Oug     When Suzuki discarded a west wind,     Washizu didn't call on it, [43:01] Oug     so why didn't you discard it right then? [43:15] Oug     In that situation, giving Washizu a tile     to call could've been unavoidable. [43:19] Oug     So shouldn't you have     discarded the west wind? [43:22] Oug     Washizu's next draw could     have let him switch to a [43:24] Oug     double pon wait for the     west wind and anything else. [43:27] Oug     At that point, you couldn't have     discarded the west wind. [43:30] Oug     So shouldn't you have just discarded it up-front? [43:34] Oug     I don't understand why you     didn't get rid of it then... [43:37] Oug     The only way I could rationalize you not     discarding the west wind at that point [43:42] Oug     was that you were worried you'd     be dealing into a mangan hand. [43:46] Aka     Right. [43:47] Aka     That's what I wanted Washizu to think. [43:50] Aka     I wanted to create that illusion. [43:53] yas     The imaginary force... [43:58] Aka     If I'd hesitated, [43:59] Aka     he could've gone to a double pon     wait, one being the west wind. [44:02] Aka     I needed to accept the risk     of that additional turn. [44:05] Aka     Otherwise, all my later moves     would have borne no fruit. [44:12] Oug     So I guess I bought into that illusion, too. [44:17] Aka     I deliberately played as if I was hesitating. [44:22] Aka     Ougi-san, those who can see get to choose. [44:27] Aka     Just by discarding a tile one turn     later, you can take full control. [44:32] Aka     If luck isn't with you, that's all you can do. [44:38] Oug     I was right. [44:39] Oug     You're not normal. [44:50] Oug     Manipulating your opponent's thought     process... You're like a devil yourself. [45:08] Was     I can't believe that kid was     manipulating a man like me. [45:18] Guy     Manipulating? [45:20] Was     That riichi. [45:23] Was     Before I called on Suzuki's west wind, [45:27] Was     he declared his riichi because     he had fully read my hand. [45:31] Was     He did it to lead me towards that green     dragon, west wind, three dora hand. [45:37] Guy     You're right. [45:38] Guy     Looking back now, it was     clearly an unnatural riichi. [45:42] Was     With that riichi wager, [45:45] Was     he deliberately lowered the     requirement for me to take the lead [45:50] Was     from a haneman to a mangan,     luring me toward it. [45:55] Guy     I see. [45:58] Was     I was lured in by that obviously contrived riichi. [46:09] Yasu     Akagi, can I ask you one more thing? [46:15] Yasu     Even if you had figured out the west wind,     what about the rest of his hand? [46:23] Yasu     Of course, you knew that he had a     single wait for the 3 of characters. [46:28] Yasu     And since we're there already,     doesn't that also mean you knew he had [46:32] Yasu     two west winds and a closed wait     for the 2 of characters before? [46:38] Yasu     How could you know that? [46:41] Aka     Isn't it simple? [46:42] Yasu     I also figured that he couldn't have a     circles honitsu since Suzuki [46:46] Yasu     didn't deal any of his many     circle tiles into Washizu's hand. [46:50] Yasu     So I guessed it was a chanta.     That much I got. [46:53] Yasu     But how did you know what     he was waiting on? [46:56] Aka     If you got that far already,     the answer is right in front of you. [47:00] Yasu     Huh? [47:04] Aka     This time, instead of trying     to read Washizu's hand, [47:09] Aka     you just need to take a good look at     Suzuki's hand to reveal Washizu's tiles. [47:15] Aka     Then all you have to do is see     what Suzuki's hand looked like. [47:20] Aka     Over half of his tiles were circle and honor tiles. [47:23] Aka     They were the pawns to deal     into Washizu's honitsu hand. [47:26] Aka     The rest were for a chanta hand. [47:28] (Flashback) Was     Pon! [47:32] Aka     What's more, after Suzuki let     Washizu call the west wind, [47:37] Aka     he didn't deal the 1 or 9 of bamboo,     or the 9 of characters. [47:42] Aka     That meant any waits involving     these tiles were out. [47:48] Aka     Meaning the only remaining     possibilities for a chanta [47:51] Aka     were around the 1 of characters. [47:54] Yasu     But couldn't it also have been     a 1, 4 or 6, 9 of bamboo wait? [47:56] Aka     No. [47:58] Aka     He'd already discarded all     the tiles around the 4 and 6. [48:02] Aka     He wouldn't throw away a win     like that after all those pon calls. [48:07] Aka     So in the end, you could assume his wait [48:13] Aka     was for either a 1 and 2 of characters     or 1 and 3 of characters. [48:18] Aka     But since I had the opaque     2 of characters in my hand, [48:23] Aka     it meant Washizu had to be in a closed     wait for the 1 and 3 of characters. [48:29] Yasu     So why did Suzuki keep the 3 of characters? [48:32] Aka     Right. It seemed like a pointless tile at a glance, [48:35] Aka     but Washizu had a 3 of     characters left in his hand. [48:38] Aka     That means it's a tile Washizu could     definitely use for a single wait. [48:43] Aka     Considering that, [48:46] Aka     if I were to declare riichi, as I did, [48:50] Aka     a mangan would be enough     for him to take the lead. [48:53] Aka     A green dragon kan could yield new     dora that would give him a haneman, [48:58] Aka     even with just the 3 of characters. [49:02] Aka     That's why Suzuki kept it. [49:08] Aka     But you know, Yasuoka-san... [49:11] Yasu     What? [49:12] Aka     What was vital to see this time     was not Washizu's hand, [49:16] Aka     but his state of mind. [49:21] Aka     Whether or not Washizu would be lured toward [49:25] Aka     my 3 of characters strategy,     as planned, once I declared riichi [49:31] Aka     was the vital point. [49:34] Ouh     You did a wonderful job manipulating him. [49:39] Aka     Do you know why it worked? [49:46] Aka     Because Washizu was starved for victory. [49:50] Oug     Starved? [49:52] Aka     Washizu won his way through life. [49:56] Aka     For him, victory was always certain. [49:58] Aka     He knows well the difference     between victory and an advantage. [50:03] Oug     The difference between     victory and an advantage? [50:06] Aka     Having an advantage has     little meaning by itself. [50:08] Aka     It only has meaning once you have won. [50:12] Aka     Successful people know that intimately,     which is why they all strive to win. [50:18] Oug     Damn. [50:20] Oug     So even when you're out of luck, [50:22] Oug     you're someone who can pull through anyway. [50:33] Aka     You can't control luck. [50:35] Aka     But you can control thought patterns. [50:40] Aka     The thought patterns of successful     people starved for victory. [50:59] Guy     Washizu-sama, what shall we do? [51:02] Was     About what? [51:04] Guy     Will you continue into the     third game, or will you stop? [51:09] Guy     When I see that man, I see     something endlessly foreboding...

[06:03] Nar     It is a mad game of Mahjong     in which Washizu bets money [06:07] Nar     and Akagi bets his own blood,     fighting until one is annihilated. [06:12] Nar     The rate is set at 1,000 points     being worth 1 million yen, SIGN    1000 points = 1 million [06:15] Nar     or 100 cc of blood. SIGN    1000 points = 100 cc of blood [06:19] Nar     It's a one-on-one match     between Akagi and Washizu. [06:23] Nar     At the end of each East-South match,     points are tallied up, including rank bonuses. [06:28] Nar     Additionally, bonus payments     are due every time a direct hit [06:31] Nar     or a tsumo win causes points to trade     hands between Akagi and Washizu. [06:36] Nar     These payments are made     immediately, in cash or blood. [06:43] Nar     Three of the four tiles in each suit are transparent, [06:50] Nar     and only one is a regular tile with a black back. [06:56] Nar     If Akagi can survive through six East-South     matches with these rules, he wins. [07:00] Nar     Should he die before then, [07:03] Nar     he will lose all that he had amassed     up to that point, and Washizu wins. SIGN    Washizu Mahjong SIGN    Third Game SIGN    East Hand 2 [07:27] Oka     It's crucial he stays the dealer here. [07:30] Oka     If he loses it, then there's a 90% chance     this third game will go to Akagi. [07:37] Oka     Even if it's only by 1,500 or 2,000 points, [07:39] Oka     he has to win! [07:41] Oka     He has no melds, but he's three tiles away     from a nice hand with three two-sided waits. [07:46] Oka     He could fight back with this. [07:51] Oka     But the problem is that kid's hand. [07:56] Oka     At a glance, it's not very good. [07:58] Oka     Washizu-sama's hand is clearly superior. [08:01] Oka     Of course Washizu-sama will win. [08:03] Oka     It would be nothing short of expected     to have a worse hand than the last one. [08:08] Oka     But he is already three tiles away from     a possible tanyao, pinfu, sanshoku hand. [08:12] Oka     Just how strong is the luck he was born with? [08:20] Oka     Two tiles to tenpai in just three turns...     But I guess he lost the tanyao. [08:27] Oka     No, that's fine. [08:30] Oka     Right now, speed takes precedence     over an expensive hand. [08:32] Oka     Staying dealer takes priority over everything. [08:40] Oka     Now he's lost the pinfu. [08:43] Oka     His hand keeps getting cheaper. [08:49] Oka     And now the sanshoku is gone. [08:51] Oka     It was fine at first,     but now his hand is worthless. [08:56] ---     Wait... [08:57] Oka     But if he gets the dora, the 6 of circles, [09:00] Oka     he'll have a riichi, ippatsu, with one dora. [09:02] Oka     With any reverse dora, that's a mangan! [09:06] Oka     Nothing's working in his favor at all... [09:11] Oka     But at least he's in tenpai. [09:13] Oka     That's what's most important. [09:16] Oka     Suzuki has a 1 of circles, so he     could play it into his single wait. [09:23] Oka     He's foregoing the riichi? [09:27] Suz     Kan. [09:29] Oka     Now I get it. [09:30] Oka     It's not too late to declare riichi     after the new dora's been revealed. [09:42] Oka     This is... [09:51] Oka     Who could've imagined this? [09:53] Oka     Getting kan dora among adversity like this? [09:57] Oka     Three of them, no less! [09:58] Oka     Unbelievable! [10:01] Oka     This is the brute luck this man possesses. [10:03] Oka     He lost the first two games, [10:05] Oka     and had Akagi win with a haneman     in the first hand of the third. [10:08] Oka     Everything was aligned against him. [10:09] Oka     It's been difficult to rise up again, [10:11] Oka     but he's done it in spite of the odds     and got into tenpai as the dealer. [10:18] Was     Riichi. [10:21] Oka     He's going to win. [10:25] Oka     It's a guaranteed dealer mangan. [10:28] Oka     Now Suzuki just has to deal     the 1 of circles into his hand. [10:31] Oka     That'll be riichi, ippatsu, three dora. [10:33] Oka     With any reverse dora, it'll be a haneman, [10:34] Oka     or even a baiman. [10:38] Oka     He'll take the lead! [10:43] Oka     What? [10:55] Oka     Why isn't he dealing him the 1 of circles? [10:57] Oka     It would guarantee a dealer mangan! [11:01] Oka     I get it. [11:03] Oka     Akagi has a... [11:05] Oka     And it looks like both the 1 and     3 of circles are useless to him. [11:08] Oka     Because the tile that closed wait is for,     the 2 of circles, is in Suzuki's hand. [11:14] Oka     It's a closed wait he     must want to get rid of. [11:17] Oka     Not to mention, the 3 of circles is     one of Washizu-sama's safe tiles. [11:22] Oka     Dealing him the 1 of circles     immediately would be [11:25] Oka     the essence of Washizu Mahjong. [11:27] Oka     And since Suzuki didn't do that,     Akagi must believe [11:31] Oka     that Suzuki does not have     Washizu-sama's winning tile. [11:34] Oka     That is to say, Suzuki's tiles are also safe tiles. [11:38] Oka     That's how the logic of the second     discard pile is established. [11:42] Oka     If Akagi believes in that,     he'll deal the tile for sure. [11:47] Oka     If he deals the 1 of circles now, [11:49] Oka     he'll lose 1,200 cc for the 12,000 points     Washizu-sama's dealer mangan is worth, [11:54] Oka     putting Akagi's total blood loss at 2,300 cc. [11:58] Oka     There's no way he can survive that. [12:02] Oka     Will the lethal tile come out? [12:07] Oka     Nope... [12:15] Was     Of course he won't deal it. [12:21] Oka     Washizu-sama... [12:24] Was     And that is just fine. [12:34] (Flashback) Was     That kid's senses are extraordinary and     far surpass those of normal people. [12:43] (Flashback) Was     He'll easy figure out a trap like that. [12:47] (Flashback) Oka     So not letting Suzuki deal the     ippatsu into your hand is a trap? [12:52] (Flashback) Was     Having him deal into my hand after     riichi would only get me more points. [13:01] (Flashback) Was     But it wouldn't advance me     in any fundamental way. [13:05] (Flashback) Was     I wouldn't gain anything special. [13:08] (Flashback) Oka     Anything special? [13:09] (Flashback) Was     I'm talking about fear. [13:14] (Flashback) Was     Even if it's an obvious trap, [13:17] (Flashback) Was     it's amusing to sow that seed of suspicion. [13:24] (Flashback) Oka     It may not make sense at first, [13:26] (Flashback) Oka     but if you wait a few turns instead     of acting immediately as usual, [13:29] (Flashback) Oka     it will shake his confidence     in the second discard pile. [13:33] (Flashback) Was     He will be shaken, and that     will show its effects later. [13:39] (Flashback) Was     In a heavier, [13:44] (Flashback) Was     much heavier scene. [13:53] Was     That's right. [13:55] Was     Even if Suzuki is able to play into     my hand, there's no need to rush. [14:02] Was     Right now, I have a riichi hand with three dora. [14:06] Was     An ippatsu tsumo on top of     that would give me 6 han. [14:10] Was     That's a dealer haneman     worth 6,000 from everyone. [14:14] Was     He's had 1,100 cc of blood extracted already, [14:20] Was     and if he loses another 600 cc, [14:22] Was     that will make a total of 1,700 cc.     With that much blood lost, [14:26] Was     he could die at any moment and     it would not be surprising. [14:31] Was     All I have to do is draw the     1 of circles now, and he will die. [14:38] Was     Now... [14:40] Was     Tremble. [14:53] Was     That's right. [14:55] Was     He's the one suffering now. [14:57] Was     I have an overwhelming advantage. [15:00] Was     The advantage is mine! [15:03] Was     Even if I missed the ippatsu,     if I draw the tile and get [15:07] Was     even a single reverse dora,     that's enough for a haneman. [15:10] Was     The haneman that'll allow me to kill Akagi. [15:14] Was     He's the one who should be trembling now. [15:18] Was     If I draw the 1 of circles,     he will be pushed right [15:21] Was     into the arms of death, or at     least to the brink of death. [15:25] Was     And of course, if he discards the     tile, his death will be instant. [15:30] Was     I'll extract the blood,     and he'll shrivel up and die. [15:35] Was     Pathetically, too. [15:37] Was     Now... Be afraid. [15:40] Was     The advantage is mine. [15:43] Was     This is the draw that'll kill you. [15:46] Was     Kill you... kill you... [15:49] Was     The draw that'll kill you! [16:06] Was     No, don't rush. [16:09] Was     Let me have more fun. [16:12] Was     I can win at any time. [16:14] Was     Take a good look at their hands. [16:18] Was     It looks like that cop's hand     is going to need some more time. [16:24] Was     As long as the pair of red dragons does     not become a triplet, and he doesn't call it, [16:30] Was     we'll be fine. [16:32] Was     And Akagi's hand is not even worth     mentioning. It's a total mess. [16:37] Was     He's two away from tenpai, at best. [16:41] Was     And with that closed wait... [16:42] Was     Since you have three of the 2 of circles, [16:46] Was     he'd have to wait for the last one,     even if he was in tenpai. [16:52] Was     There's no need to worry. [16:55] Was     Keep it going, keep it going! [16:56] Was     We still have a lot of time to spare. [17:09] Was     This is interesting. [17:12] Was     Now that he has the 3 of circles as his pair,     the 1 just might get flushed out. [17:27] Was     You won't discard it, eh? [17:30] Was     He seems to know that he can't     discard that 1 of circles. [17:35] Was     He realized that it was a seed I had sown. [17:40] Was     But that doesn't matter. [17:44] Was     If I draw the 1 of circles now, it's all over. [17:51] Was     If I draw the 1 of circles, I can kill this man. [18:01] Was     But why? [18:03] Was     Why isn't he afraid? [18:06] Was     Why won't he tremble? [18:09] Was     What's wrong with him? [18:14] Was     This is not fun. [18:18] Was     It's only the ones around him who panic. [18:20] Was     The one who should panic most,     this brat, doesn't move a muscle. [18:31] oug     For God's sake... [18:33] oug     How can you keep so calm? [18:38] (Flashback) oug     Akagi, are you really not scared? [18:42] (Flashback) Aka     Of what? [18:44] (Flashback) oug     What do you mean, "of what"?

[19:06] (Flashback) Yasu     We're just regular people. [19:08] (Flashback) oug     He's right. [19:09] (Flashback) oug     Anyone would get nervous     in a situation like this.

[20:58] Was     He has nothing left to do but die. [21:00] Was     And if he plays into my hand,     he'll pay 24,000 directly. [21:03] Was     That's 2,400 cc. Certain death! [21:08] Was     Even he will have to tremble. [21:12] Was     That's what I want to see. [21:18] Was     All right, boy. Let's see you tremble. [21:24] Was     Be afraid. Shiver. [21:28] Was     Show me what it looks like. [21:42] Was     Looks like you finally got rid     of most of your useless tiles. [21:46] Was     Does that mean you'll finally be     reaching for that 1 of circles? [21:53] Was     You know from Suzuki's kan that     there are no more 2 of circles. [21:59] Was     That 1 of circles is garbage to you,     and if you keep hanging on to it, [22:05] Was     you'll never get to tenpai. [22:10] Was     Why not discard it? [22:12] Was     How can you be certain that the 1 of     circles in Suzuki's hand is a trap? [22:18] Was     It might actually be safe for you to discard. [22:21] Was     Isn't Mahjong all about the unexpected? [22:24] Was     Right, Akagi? [22:38] Was     If you're refusing to discard it,     even with that hand, [22:41] Was     does that mean you're     convinced I'm waiting on it? [22:47] Was     That's all fine. [22:49] Was     I'll just have to draw it myself. [22:51] Was     If I draw it... [22:54] Was     If I draw it now, it's all the same. You will die. [23:09] Was     Why don't you tremble? [23:12] Was     Why aren't you afraid? [23:16] Was     Why? [23:46] Was     Kan! [23:51] Oka     He's got eight dora now. [23:54] Was     Akagi-kun. [23:57] Was     I can hear their voices...

[24:19] Oka     The boy's sense may be extraordinary, [24:22] Oka     but Washizu-sama's luck is far beyond     the understanding of ordinary minds. [24:29] Was     Now, before I draw my     tile from the dead wall, [24:35] Was     I'll draw the new dora indicator. [24:43] Was     Now, take me [24:49] Was     to a much higher place.

[34:32] was     The threat of this twelve-dora     hand has misled him. [34:37] was     For the first time, his heart     wavered toward safety [34:42] was     because of my yakuman.

[37:27] Aka     That's right. [37:29] Aka     That dead wall draw after     you got to twelve dora... [37:32] Aka     That was the crossroads,     and not just in hindsight. [37:49] (Flashback) Was     Damn it! [37:52] Aka     You should have realized then,     when you couldn't draw it. [37:57] Aka     That's when the luck turned. [37:59] Aka     It was over right then. [38:02] Aka     You should've stopped the pursuit and     just let Suzuki play into your hand. [38:09] Aka     Then you would have been able to     at least pick up the 48,000 points. [38:17] Aka     You should have been satisfied with that. [38:21] Aka     But you forced the game onward,     and dug your own grave. [38:27] Aka     Pathetic. [38:29] Aka     Even though Heaven sent you a sign     that you had reached the limit. [38:35] Aka     You ignored that valuable warning. [38:40] Aka     Your regular self probably     wouldn't have done that. [38:43] Aka     You would have sensed that sign and obeyed it. [38:47] Aka     But it only looked like you     had momentum on the surface, [38:51] Aka     while deep down in the core of     your being, you were afraid. [38:56] Aka     So your greed took over [38:59] Aka     and insisted on getting     the tsumo or direct hit. [39:02] Aka     Thus you tried to take the     shortcut to finish the match. [39:13] Was     You're the one who was trembling     deep in the core of your being. [39:19] Aka     If that were true, I couldn't     have won against your luck. [39:25] Aka     I'm always the same. [39:26] Aka     Whether I'm in a bind or I've got     a good break, I stay the same. [39:30] Aka     It's the only way to call victory to your side. [39:35] Oug     I see. So that's how it is. [39:41] Was     I see... [39:44] Was     I may indeed have been caught up [39:47] Was     in the temptation of that     murderous intent to kill you.

[40:02] Aka     The real problem is where that     murderous intent stems from. [40:09] Aka     You should have an inkling, as well. [40:12] Aka     About where it's coming from. [40:15] Aka     Yes, the root of that murderous intent [40:19] Aka     is fear. [40:22] Aka     You want to kill because     you don't want to die. [40:25] Aka     That's why you rush to kill. [40:27] Aka     I got some glimpses of that fear     in the first and second game, too, [40:32] Aka     but this time, it was clear. [40:35] Aka     At the beginning, I could     sense this enthusiasm, [40:39] Aka     this motivation in you to win     purely by skill, by outranking me. [40:45] Aka     But when you got a hand     that could actually kill me... [40:49] Aka     Once that chance came to you, you lost     your cool and that feeling got hazy. [40:54] Aka     It was quickly forgotten. [40:57] Aka     Then you wanted to kill right away. [41:01] Aka     Right now. [41:04] Aka     Because you wanted to save yourself. [41:10] Aka     You have an abnormally tenacious desire to live. [41:14] Aka     No, you rage against death. [41:19] Aka     Your life may have been a chain of victories, [41:22] Aka     but only because you were     always terrified of death. [41:27] Aka     Because you were so abnormally terrified     of death, you were able to keep winning. [41:37] Aka     Even if by a single step,     you wanted to stay far from death. [41:42] Aka     You wanted to distance     yourself from destruction. [41:46] Aka     In order to achieve that, you had to build. [41:52] Aka     Illegal money. Needless money. [41:57] Aka     That's really all there is to you. [42:02] Aka     The big air you put on and your appearance     are all because of your money.

[07:30] Nar     No walls are built in Washizu Mahjong. [07:35] Nar     Tiles for the starting hand and each draw are     taken from a hole in the middle of the table, [07:43] Nar     wearing a leather glove on the right hand     to prevent feeling which tile is grabbed. [08:04] Nar     Once the starting hands are drawn,     the dealer draws one more tile from the hole. [08:08] Nar     This is the dora indicator. [08:13] Nar     The same applies to reverse     dora and new dora from kan, [08:18] Nar     which are drawn from the     hole when the need arises. [08:24] Nar     If Akagi can survive through six East-South     matches with these rules, his side wins. [08:31] Nar     Should he die before then, [08:35] Nar     he will lose all that he had     amassed up to that point, [08:39] Nar     and victory will go to Washizu's side.

[16:42] Nar     Washizu has a three-way wait on     the 2, 5, and 8 of characters. [16:47] Nar     Instead of having Suzuki play into his     hand, he waits for a tsumo win. [16:51] Nar     His ittsuu is gone, but if he draws a winner, [16:54] Nar     he'd still have a menpin     tsumo worth 2,600 points.

[18:37] Nar     And then, on the sixth turn... [18:42] Was     I'm in a chiitoitsu tenpai. [18:46] Was     I never thought this hand     would come together so fast. [18:50] Was     What should I do? [18:52] Was     What they see is this... [18:58] Was     They can't possibly know I am in tenpai. [19:02] Was     So I'll go with stealth. [19:06] Was     I'll discard the 5 of bamboo and     wait on this opaque east wind. [19:15] Was     Wait... He has one. [19:18] Was     Akagi has an east wind in his hand. [19:25] Was     A stealth wait on the black east wind? [19:28] Was     This could be a chance given to me     by the heavens to take him down. [19:42] Was     Fool. [19:44] Was     That monster is not like that. [19:48] Was     I could be waiting on a single black tile, [19:50] Was     stealth or not, and he's     still not going to deal it. [19:53] Was     So this hand goes like this. [19:58] Was     Riichi. [20:03] Was     Chiitoitsu, waiting on a clear 5 of bamboo. [20:07] Was     This is fine. [20:09] Was     I haven't seen any 5 of bamboo yet. [20:12] Was     Even if he has an opaque 5 of bamboo, [20:17] Was     there are still at least two left in the hole. [20:23] Was     But that's not true of the east winds. [20:26] Was     Akagi's got one, and the cop     discarded one on the first turn, [20:31] Was     so there's only one left in the hole. [20:35] Was     Which means my chance of     drawing the 5 of bamboo is [20:39] Was     two to three times higher than     that of drawing the east wind. [20:47] Nar     But even with this tsumo-driven riichi... [20:58] Yasu     Ron. [20:59] Yasu     Pinfu, iipeikou, one dora. 3,900. SIGN    Fifth Game SIGN    East Hand 3 [21:19] Nar     Washizu takes the initiative     in this hand, as well. [21:23] Nar     On the eight turn, he declares riichi. [21:25] Nar     His hand is another chiitoitsu. [21:27] Nar     But once again... [21:32] Nar     Akagi denies him. [21:34] Aka     Tsumo. [21:35] Aka     Chiitoitsu. [21:36] Aka     800. 1,600. [21:37] Nar     He had the same chiitoitsu as Washizu. [21:40] was     Pay him. [21:40] nar     Tsumo chiitoitsu, 3,200.

[22:00] Oug     We made it through three of the 16     hands of the fifth and sixth games. [22:03] Oug     Just 13 hands to go. [22:05] Yas     I wondered how this would     go when we first started, [22:08] Yas     but it's going better than I thought. [22:10] Yas     Right, Akagi? [22:13] Aka     I wonder. SIGN    Fifth Game SIGN    East Hand 4 [22:48] Oug     All right! [22:49] Oug     Not bad. [22:51] Oug     Perfect to get a quick win as dealer     and build some momentum. [22:58] Oug     On the other hand,     Washizu's hands are getting worse. [23:02] Oug     I can't see the opaque tiles,     but it's obvious that [23:06] Oug     his hand is worse than Akagi's. [23:12] Oug     Looks like the luck has turned around. [23:15] Oug     It's on Akagi's side now. [23:25] Aka     This hand doesn't fit the situation. [23:31] Aka     No matter how the hand advances,     it'll probably stagnate at a crucial point. [23:36] Aka     That's the kind of tiles these are. [23:39] Aka     In that respect, Washizu's     tiles seem much better. [23:45] Aka     They're in tune with the current flow. [23:49] Aka     The flow of pairs. [23:51] Aka     Right now, the flow is just creating pairs. [23:56] Aka     That itself is not threatening. [24:04] Aka     Nor are his draws spectacular. [24:08] Aka     What's scary is that pivotal     tile that will awaken Washizu. [24:13] Aka     The east wind. [24:16] Aka     If he pairs those, it'll be a problem. [24:18] Aka     Things will get crazy. [24:20] Aka     Washizu's luck will rise steeply. [24:24] Aka     He'll start drawing like a monster. [24:27] Aka     Having said that, [24:28] Aka     Washizu still hasn't realized how     important that east wind is. [24:32] Aka     He only has it because he     couldn't clean his hand up yet. [24:35] Aka     Once his tiles are in order,     he'll definitely discard it. [24:39] Aka     Meaning, in that sense, [24:41] Aka     the slow progression of that hand     actually works in Washizu's favor. [24:47] Aka     He hasn't noticed yet, but his     luck is incredibly high right now. [25:15] Aka     He drew it. Interesting. [25:19] Aka     I knew Washizu was on the receiving end     of immeasurable favor from somewhere. [25:28] Oug     Yes! [25:30] Oug     He's in tenpai, with a 3, 6 of characters wait. [25:34] Oug     But Yasuoka doesn't have the 3 or 6. [25:40] Oug     He can't deal it into his hand. [25:45] Oug     Oh, looks like Yasuoka is also in     tenpai, with a 2, 5 of circles wait. [25:49] Oug     But Akagi also doesn't have those tiles. [25:53] Oug     Aww, when both of you     are in such a good spot! [25:59] Nar     On the other hand, Washizu     is steadily collecting tiles. [26:05] Was     I'm in tenpai. [26:08] Was     A double pon wait on the 8 of     characters and the east wind. [26:14] Was     Normally, I would hope for     a quick tsumo on a riichi, [26:18] Was     but unfortunately, this wait is not good. [26:22] Was     I see three each of the 8 and the east wind. [26:26] Was     So there's only one left of each. [26:28] Was     No, more importantly, [26:32] Was     this hand is still in progress. [26:35] Was     There are further changes ahead. [26:37] Was     So don't rush. [26:42] Was     All for greater certainty of killing     that monster with a tsumo. [26:56] Was     The east wind. [26:58] Was     With the east wind, I don't need riichi, [27:00] Was     and the san ankou tsumo and the     east wind give me a mangan. SIGN    San ankou - Three concealed triplets. [27:03] Was     As the dealer, Akagi would     pay 4,000 points, or 400 cc. [27:08] Was     That's a total of 1,800 cc. [27:12] Was     I could kill him! [27:23] Oug     It feels like he's in tenpai. [27:26] Oug     Still, our side has the     overwhelming advantage. [27:32] Oug     Their only hope is that Washizu     draws his winning tile. [27:36] Oug     But we've got Akagi and Yasuoka in tenpai,     and they can play into each other's hands. [27:50] Oug     There's a high chance we'll take this hand. [27:53] Oug     We can get through this. [28:04] Oug     Akagi drew an east wind! [28:14] Oug     Of course he won't discard it. [28:16] Oug     His tenpai is gone now. [28:18] Oug     Damn it, he just had to draw     the east wind, of all tiles! [28:23] Nar     By drawing the east wind, [28:25] Nar     Akagi has reduced Washizu's possible     winning tiles to only the 8 of characters. [28:42] Nar     Washizu has a double pon wait on the     8 of characters and the east wind, [28:45] Nar     but Yasuoka, unaware of that, [28:48] Nar     sees two additional possible patterns: [28:53] Nar     a 7 of characters edge wait, [28:57] Nar     or a wait on the 6 and 9 of     characters and the east wind. [29:06] Yasu     This 9 of characters is too dangerous. [29:09] Yasu     But we're on the 15th turn. [29:12] Yasu     If I break my tenpai now, it's over. [29:17] Yasu     I want to make sure. [29:19] Yasu     How many turns left until it's a draw? [29:21] Oku     In Washizu Mahjong, the number of     closed or open kans is irrelevant. [29:25] Oku     The game is a draw after 70 discarded tiles. [29:27] Oku     That's the rule. [29:30] Yasu     Right now, there are 57 discarded tiles. [29:34] Yasu     So that's 13 more tiles. [29:37] Oug     What happens with the payment of     the no-tenpai penalty in a draw? [29:41] Oug     The rule that whenever points trade     hands between Akagi and Washizu, [29:47] Oug     an appropriate amount of cash     or blood must also change hands. [29:51] Oku     Of course, that applies here, too. [29:53] Oku     If Washizu-sama is the only one in     tenpai when a draw is called, [29:56] Oku     then along with the 1,000-point     no-tenpai penalty, [29:58] Oku     Akagi has to pay 100 cc of blood. [30:01] oug     What if one player from each team     is in tenpai when a draw is called? [30:09] Oku     Then even with the no-tenpai penalty, we'd     consider the points to move between allies, [30:13] Oku     so money and blood won't be paid. [30:17] Yasu     I see. [30:20] Yasu     I can't fold now. [30:22] Yasu     If I fold, the hand will be called a     draw with only Washizu in tenpai. [30:27] Yasu     Akagi will have his blood extracted     and be another step closer to death. [30:32] Yasu     I have to do something. [30:37] Yasu     To protect Akagi's blood,     I have to stay in tenpai. [30:57] Was     I have no interest in your tiles. [31:01] Was     All I want is a tsumo, tsumo, tsumo! [31:04] Was     Nothing else. [31:06] Was     The east winds are gone, but there     is still one more 8 of characters. [31:11] Was     A san ankou tsumo would be 5,200 points. [31:13] Was     5,200 points... [31:24] Was     I didn't get it. [31:26] Was     Two draws left. [31:29] Was     I have one winning tile, the 8 of characters. [31:33] Was     Looks like this is as far as my hand goes. [31:36] Was     If I declare riichi and draw that 8,     I'll have a guaranteed mangan, or more. [31:41] Was     With some reverse dora, it could     go to a haneman, a baiman. [31:45] Was     Now that the east winds are     out, I can declare riichi. [32:06] Was     What was that feeling I just had? [32:13] Was     Impossible... Could there still     be further changes ahead? [32:19] Was     Is it telling me to wait? [32:25] Was     I don't know what kind of change     is coming... I don't know, but... [32:37] Was     There. [32:38] Was     I'll put the riichi on hold. [32:40] Was     I will obey [32:41] Was     this premonition that has descended     upon me for the first time in so long... [32:46] Was     This revelation! [33:03] Was     That's right. [33:04] Was     I haven't won with reason alone. [33:08] Was     Sometimes, I was pushed forward by     something beyond human understanding. [33:17] Was     There are two draws left. [33:20] Was     If nothing changes with this draw,     I'll have no way to win this hand. [33:29] Was     No good. [33:36] Was     There's only one draw left, and normally, [33:39] Was     this would be the time to declare     riichi, even if the chance is slim. [33:44] Was     But... [33:49] Was     I'm going to wait. [33:51] Was     I will have faith in that revelation. [34:25] Was     He drew the tile that was     supposed to be mine! [34:39] Yasu     Damn it... [34:40] Yasu     I have no choice. [34:46] Yasu     Do what you like. [34:53] Oku     I know you wanted a tsumo win,     but that's your last possible winning tile. [34:59] Oku     There's nothing left to do but take this. [35:02] Oku     Go for the 8 of characters     with the closed wait, [35:04] Oku     and you'll get the 3,200 for the san ankou. [35:07] Oku     It's not what you wanted, but right now... [35:14] Was     Again... [35:16] Was     You're telling me there is something more? [35:19] Was     That this hand could still change yet again? [35:24] Was     Then show me. [35:26] Was     Show me this hand's true form. [35:54] Was     I see it... [35:58] Was     The possibility. [36:01] Oku     Possibility? [36:04] Was     Kan! [36:08] Yasu     Why? [36:13] Oku     Washizu-sama, what is the meaning of this? [36:18] Was     You boys wouldn't understand. [36:20] Was     To you, divine revelations are     a completely foreign concept. [36:29] Was     Well, shall we, Akagi Shigeru? [36:42] Was     First, let's draw the new dora indicator.

[37:43] Was     the dead wall draw. [38:01] Oku     What an unbelievable idea. [38:03] Oku     In other words, Washizu-sama     set out to rebuild his hand. [38:06] Oku     He abandoned the impossible     wait on the 8 of characters [38:11] Oku     and created a new tenpai with a     greater chance for a tsumo win! [38:14] Oku     Bizarre... [38:15] Oku     That idea is much too bizarre. [38:19] Oku     Wait a minute. [38:21] Oku     This hand has the form of a tenpai, but no yaku. [38:29] Was     Here. [38:34] Suz     Pon.

[39:05] oug     Suzuki has 17. [39:07] oug     And right now, Washizu has 17,     making a total of 67 tiles. [39:10] oug     Which means... [39:13] Oku     Washizu-sama draws the last tile! [39:15] Oku     He's back! [39:16] Oku     He can win now, with a haitei tsumo! SIGN    Haitei - Another name for haitei raoyue. 1 han is added if a player wins on the last discard.

[39:33] Oku     It doesn't look like [39:35] Oku     the opaque 4 of characters is in     either Yasuoka's or Akagi's hand.

[07:52] (Flashback) Aka     I don't need it. [07:53] (Flashback) Aka     Just give it all to me in money. [07:55] (Flashback) oug     Akagi, are you in your right mind?

[08:09] (Flashback) Aka     I mean... this. [08:15] oug     You did well to pull through, despite all that. [08:23] oug     That time, though...

SIGN    Episode 6 SIGN    Washizu Mahjong [11:26] Nar     Washizu Mahjong. [11:29] Nar     These are the tiles used. [11:34] Nar     Three of the four tiles in     each suit are transparent, [11:37] Nar     making their faces visible even from the back, [11:42] Nar     and only one is a regular tile with a black back. [11:49] Nar     No walls are built in Washizu Mahjong. [11:53] Nar     Tiles for the starting hand and each draw are     taken from a hole in the middle of the table, [12:02] Nar     wearing a leather glove on the right hand     to prevent feeling which tile is grabbed. [12:22] Nar     Once the starting hands are drawn,     the dealer draws one more tile from the hole. [12:26] Nar     This is the dora indicator. [12:31] Nar     The same applies to reverse     dora and new dora from kan, [12:37] Nar     which are drawn from the     hole when the need arises. [12:43] Nar     If Akagi can survive through six East-South     matches with these rules, his side wins. [12:49] Nar     Should he die before then, [12:53] Nar     he will lose all that he had     amassed up to that point, [12:57] Nar     and victory will go to Washizu's side. SIGN    1000 points = 1 million [13:01] Nar     The rate is set at 1,000 points     being worth 1 million yen, [13:04] Nar     or 100 cc of blood. SIGN    1000 points = 100 cc of blood [13:08] Nar     It's a one-on-one match     between Akagi and Washizu. [13:11] Nar     At the end of each East-South match,     points are tallied up, including rank bonuses. [13:17] Nar     Additionally, bonus payments     are due every time a direct hit [13:22] Nar     or a tsumo win causes points to trade     hands between Akagi and Washizu. [13:28] Nar     These payments are made     immediately, in cash or blood. [13:36] Nar     This is the essence of Washizu Mahjong. SIGN    Washizu Mahjong [13:47] oug     Akagi!

[14:14] Aka     Once the secret is revealed, it's simple. [14:17] Aka     Two weeks before I came to this match, [14:20] Aka     I had about 500 cc of blood     withdrawn at a hospital. [14:26] Was     You had blood withdrawn? [14:29] Aka     Apparently, that's the limit [14:34] Aka     to the amount of blood you can     add back into your own body. [14:41] Aka     Then, on the way here, [14:47] Aka     I went to the hospital and     had that 500 cc put back. [14:57] (Flashback) oug     You're late. Where the hell have you been?

[15:10] Aka     Basically, I had my transfusion     done before the game started. [15:16] Yas     Akagi... [15:18] Yas     You're saying you didn't go just for these? SIGN    Tough-pon     Tonic [15:26] Aka     In other words, when I came here, [15:30] Aka     I got back the blood I'd had drawn, [15:33] Aka     so I had my original 4,500 cc of blood plus [15:38] Aka     the 500 cc I'd had drawn, so 5,000 cc altogether. [15:45] Aka     You might call it a hidden stash. [15:50] Aka     Something you're familiar with. [15:55] Was     I will kill you. [15:56] guys     Washizu-sama! [15:58] ---     Let go! [16:15] Was     We're taking a break! [16:38] oug     Damn, you really surprised me. [16:41] Yas     A transfusion before the game, huh? [16:45] oug     Are you feeling all right, though? [16:49] Aka     I felt a little weak before, but I'm fine now. [16:52] Aka     Although... [16:55] Aka     If I had to say, it's my fingertips... [16:59] Yas     Are they numb? [17:00] Aka     Yeah. [17:03] Aka     But I don't have any problem handling the tiles. [17:08] Yas     Then we're good. [17:09] oug     You should get some rest. [17:11] oug     Luckily, the other side is taking a break, too. [17:13] oug     Since you're weak— [17:14] Aka     No, I don't think that's true. [17:17] Yas     What? [17:21] Aka     I'm not the one who's weakened right now. [17:24] Aka     Washizu is. [17:29] Aka     Resting now would be giving     my enemy a helping hand. [17:34] Aka     If I rest now, it'll get away... [17:37] Aka     That uncertainty Washizu has finally     shown for the first time in this battle. [17:41] oug     Akagi... [17:44] Aka     It's a one in a thousand chance. [17:47] Aka     This is the time to make my move. Right now. [17:50] oug     Akagi... [17:54] Aka     His life is smoking. [17:58] Aka     With the backlash from his false celebration, [18:01] Aka     that godlike vitality Washizu has is     beginning to smoke like a fine mist.

[18:41] Oku     Instead of insisting on tsumo wins, [18:43] Oku     why not try to win by ranking instead? [18:45] suz     Please remember that     haneman tsumo from earlier. [18:48] suz     At that point, you were     clearly at an advantage. [18:52] suz     He's only kept himself alive through     the cowardly trick of a transfusion.

[19:04] oku     We just have to prevent him from playing. [19:06] oku     Focus on the tag team play with Suzuki. [19:08] oku     If your hand is cheap, you can     deal into Suzuki's hand, too, [19:11] oku     so we can finish each hand quickly. [19:14] oku     Do that, and it'll be over in four hands. [19:16] oku     Even someone like Akagi     will have a hard time. [19:21] oku     You should play a totally ordinary game. [19:23] oku     Forget for now that you're up against Akagi, [19:25] oku     and play like you always do, Washizu-sama. [19:27] oku     If you do that, you'll win for sure! SIGN    Fifth Game SIGN    South Hand 1 [19:51] Oku     Washizu-sama... [19:54] Oku     Please try to keep calm     and play as you always do. [20:01] Oku     That 4 of circles has to go. [20:09] Oku     I realize it's a difficult tile to discard,     since it might be Akagi's winning tile. [20:16] Oku     But if you make the 4 of circles pass now, [20:19] Oku     you'll be in tenpai, with a     1, 4, 7 of characters wait. [20:23] Oku     Suzuki has the 1 and 7 of characters.

[21:17] Oku     Well, this is fine. [21:20] Oku     That was an irregular play. [21:21] Oku     He forced his hand to align     to your isolated 4 of circles. [21:25] Oku     The 1,300 he got wasn't worth the effort it took. [21:31] Oku     You didn't win, but judging from     your waits and the dora at the end, [21:36] Oku     the wind is blowing in your favor for sure. [21:41] Oku     You didn't throw the game. [21:43] Oku     You pressed forward without giving up. [21:46] Oku     And as long as that is true,     your time will surely come. [21:49] Oku     It's Akagi who is suffering. [21:57] oug     Are your fingers still numb? [22:00] Aka     I told you. [22:02] Aka     It doesn't affect my tile handling. [22:04] oug     Good, then. SIGN    Fifth Game SIGN    South Hand 2 [22:23] Oku     He's in tenpai again,     but it's a similar situation. [22:27] Oku     The tile he wants to discard the most, [22:29] Oku     the 3 of characters, is Akagi's winning tile. [22:33] Oku     That looks like a circles ittsuu hand. [22:37] Oku     He's probably waiting on a 3, 6 of characters. [22:40] Oku     This is rough. [22:42] Oku     If he discards the 3 of characters,     Suzuki could play into his hand right away. [22:47] Oku     It would be exactly like the previous hand. [22:50] Oku     Normally, this 3 of characters wouldn't pass. [22:54] Oku     But shouldn't he just close his     eyes and try again one last time? [22:59] Oku     If it passes, he'll have a mentanpin,     ippatsu, with one dora. [23:03] Oku     A guaranteed mangan. [23:05] Oku     Besides, even if he is Akagi, [23:09] Oku     he can't align his hand to win off     of our leftover tiles every time! [23:14] Oku     So make just one more     strong play, Washizu-sama. [23:21] Oku     One of Akagi's safe tiles. [23:23] Oku     He couldn't discard it, and now he     has a single 3 of characters wait... [23:27] Oku     A move that's both safe     and possibly lucrative. [23:31] Yasu     Ron. [23:32] Yasu     Red dragon, two dora. [23:33] Yasu     That's 5,200 points. [23:39] Oku     We weren't cautious enough. [23:41] Oku     We were so concentrated on Akagi,     we didn't pay attention to Yasuoka. [23:51] Oku     The opaque 8 of circles? [23:53] Oku     That means Akagi's ittsuu was...

[24:33] oug     The other side is getting restless,     even though we're technically still losing. [24:38] Yasu     Washizu is 3,100 points ahead... [24:43] oug     We've got two hands left. [24:44] oug     I know you can turn this around. [24:47] Aka     Ougi-san, you really shouldn't     underestimate Washizu's brute luck. [24:52] oug     But he threw out that obvious 4 of circles, [24:55] oug     and he was completely     oblivious to Yasuoka's tenpai. [24:58] oug     Doesn't seem like their     side is particularly calm. [25:01] Aka     Still, they're getting their hands together. [25:07] Aka     If we want to kill him, this isn't enough. [25:12] oug     Akagi, beating him in rank     is good enough for this game. [25:16] Yasu     He's right. [25:17] Yasu     Aiming for a big hand now is     just digging your own grave. [25:20] Yasu     For now, focus on getting your strength     back for the sixth game, okay? [25:25] Aka     That would be boring. SIGN    Fifth Game SIGN    South Hand 3 [25:47] Oku     It's not bad. [25:50] Oku     No melds yet, but it's still solid. [25:53] Oku     And he's got two dora! [25:58] Oku     If he gets into tenpai, he'll have a     mangan tenpai that's easy to play into. [26:04] Oku     Even though he had two bad hands,     Washizu-sama still hasn't [26:09] Oku     lost his momentum! [26:23] Oku     This can still work. [26:25] Oku     The problem is avoiding a losing streak. [26:28] Oku     Even for Washizu-sama, with his brute luck,     three losses in a row would be fatal. [26:34] Oku     We needn't be hasty. [26:36] Oku     We're the ones in the lead. [26:48] Oku     Damn it! [26:49] Oku     Another one went into his hand. [26:59] Oku     All right. [27:00] Oku     He's cleaning up the 8 and 9 of     characters, the edge tiles. [27:03] Oku     Which means his hand's still got a way to go. [27:09] Was     Two more hands left. [27:11] Was     And while he's wasting his time cleaning     up his edges, I'm going to get into tenpai. [27:37] Was     Good! One tile away from tenpai. [27:42] Was     The problem is him, [27:45] Was     and how his monster hand progresses. [27:50] Was     Of course he would have something     together by the ninth turn... [27:57] Was     But he's not in tenpai yet. [28:17] oug     Akagi... [28:18] Aka     Sorry. [28:26] Was     The cat's out of the bag. [28:34] Was     The sensation in his fingers is clearly faltering. [28:39] Was     He's weakening now. [28:41] Was     The monster is starting to weaken. [28:46] Was     In any case, he cannot discard that west wind. [28:50] Was     It's not an easy tile to discard. [28:53] Was     Because as far as he can see... [29:00] Was     My waits are on a west wind or an 8 of circles. [29:09] Was     My yaku is a 5-6-7 sanshoku. [29:12] Was     It goes without saying that     this is an ideal configuration. [29:18] Was     But if he thinks, "No, that's not true,"     and discards the tile, [29:23] Was     I'll have a mangan. [29:26] Was     That'll be 800 cc of blood, and     this time, he really will die. [29:29] Was     There's no way he'll deal a tile that     guarantees the fatal amount of blood loss. [29:36] Was     He'll stop here. [29:38] Was     If he doesn't stop, he's not human. [29:52] Was     So, what will he decide? [30:05] Was     I knew it. [30:07] Was     He evaded it. [30:10] Was     This proves that his spirit has weakened. [30:15] Was     The monster Akagi has finally...     finally become evasive. [30:22] Was     He's afraid of my tenpai     with the west wind dora, [30:26] Was     so he kept the west wind. He's out! [30:30] Was     He's out of this game! [30:32] Was     And so long as you can't collect     more of those west winds, [30:37] Was     you'll be stuck here forever. [30:40] Was     All right! I won't lose this chance! [30:42] Was     Let's take advantage of     his rut and his weakness! [30:49] Was     Damn it, I need to get in tenpai,     now that he can't move. [30:55] Was     If I win this sanshoku with     two dora, that's 8,000 points. [31:01] Was     My lead will widen to 11,100 points again, [31:06] Was     and then only the last hand remains. [31:08] Was     My chance of winning will increase. [31:14] Was     I need to make it through     this decisive moment. [31:24] Was     Damn it! [31:25] Was     That last tile won't come to me. [31:28] Was     The 5 of circles, or the 6, 7, 8 of circles. [31:33] Was     The 2 or 4 of characters, or a west wind. [31:36] Was     Any of them would be fine! [31:38] Was     Come on! [31:39] Was     I won't restrict my hand to a sanshoku anymore! [31:54] Was     No matter how many he adds to his hand, [31:56] Was     as long as he keeps hanging on to that     vital dora tile, it's all the same. [32:00] Was     I don't have to be afraid. [32:02] Was     He cannot get into tenpai. [32:10] Was     What? [32:12] Was     Don't tell me... [32:14] Was     You know you can't play that west wind. [32:18] Was     The moment you do, you will die. [32:25] Was     Why? [32:27] Was     Why can he discard that west wind? [32:35] Was     I see... A play into his hand? [32:40] Was     If this west wind passes, the cop     will have a tile for Akagi's hand. [32:46] Was     This is bad. [32:48] Was     The cop is going to deal into his hand! [32:51] Was     Wait. [32:55] Was     Pon. [33:03] Yasu     Three dora. [33:24] Oku     Washizu-sama, why did you call that pon? [33:28] Was     The question is, why did     he discard the west wind? [33:35] Oku     If you think about it,     you do still have the lead over him. [33:40] Oku     With only two hands left,     he can't afford to be timid. [33:46] Oku     If that cop can deal into his hand,     especially, of course he'll play boldly. [33:51] Oku     If he wastes time and you win, [33:53] Oku     you'll increase your lead further     with only the last hand left. [33:57] suz     He'll be in even worse trouble. [33:59] suz     In his mind, since he's weakened,     he has no other choice. [34:02] Was     No matter how dangerous the tile? [34:07] Oku     Washizu-sama, are you saying you made that     move because it seemed likely that Akagi [34:11] Oku     would discard the west wind to get into tenpai,     then have the cop deal into his hand? [34:15] Was     If I called on the west wind and got into tenpai, [34:17] Was     I could count on Suzuki drawing a 5 of circles     and dealing it into my hand on the next turn. [34:22] Was     It would be a sanshoku with     three dora, a mangan win. [34:27] Oku     We can overcome him, even if it's by a     small margin. We can beat Akagi Shigeru! [34:46] Was     Now, draw, Suzuki! [34:50] Was     The 5 of circles! [34:52] Was     We'll win if you draw the 5 of circles. [34:54] Was     Get me the 5 of circles. [35:05] Was     Not this time. Damn it. [35:13] Was     Is it over? [35:15] Was     Will the cop play into his hand and end it? [35:19] Was     How much is Akagi's hand worth? [35:23] Was     Is it enough to upset my 3,100 point lead, [35:27] Was     and put him back on top? [35:37] Was     Huh? [35:41] Was     What? [35:43] Was     You're not going to win? [35:47] Was     That means... [35:50] Was     You discarded that incredibly dangerous tile, [35:52] Was     the tile that could seal your death, [35:53] Was     with no guarantee that your partner     would deal you the winning tile? [36:03] Was     How dare you... [36:13] Was     Yet another of his absurd plays... [36:17] Was     He was playing me again with     his madness, his insanity. [36:24] Was     I didn't have to call on that. [36:27] Was     I didn't have to go for such     a limited hand as a sanshoku [36:32] Was     that can only win off the 5 of characters. [36:37] Was     If it's come to this, let's see the 5 of circles. [36:48] Was     What is this? [36:50] Was     Huh? [36:51] Was     Why did I have to draw this tile? [36:55] Was     Of all the tiles I could draw, [36:58] Was     the 8 of circles that won't     give me a sanshoku win? [37:02] Was     What's more, if I discard this,     I can't call ron on any discards. [37:06] Was     I'll only be able to win by     drawing my winning tile. [37:11] Was     Damn it! [37:13] Was     If only I hadn't called on those west winds, [37:15] Was     this 8 of circles would have     given me the ideal hand. [37:23] Was     A wait on the west wind,     and the 5, 8 of circles. [37:26] Was     I would've had this ideal three-way wait, [37:30] Was     but my hand was twisted out of shape. [37:37] Was     The best possible draw was     turned into the worst! [37:44] Was     My strong luck was exchanged     with the angel of death. [38:09] Was     What? Your hand can fit another tile? [38:12] Was     Which means you weren't in tenpai yet     when you discarded that west wind? [38:20] Was     This boy... [38:27] Aka     Riichi. [38:34] Was     A riichi after discarding the 5 of circles?! [38:41] Was     If I hadn't drawn the 8 of circles,     I would have won with the 5 of circles. [38:47] Was     It would have been my winning tile,     and you declare riichi with it? [38:54] Was     He's mocking me! [39:00] Was     I'll kill you. [39:10] Oku     Washizu-sama. [39:15] Oku     He feared neither death nor God     when he discarded that west wind. [39:19] Oku     And when you forfeited the right     to call ron with your last discard, [39:22] Oku     he discarded the 5 of circles you needed [39:24] Oku     to mock you with his riichi. [39:27] Oku     He couldn't possibly be more infuriating. [39:30] Oku     However, you must not get angry. [39:32] Oku     That is exactly what he hopes for. [39:34] Oku     Keep a cool head, Washizu-sama. [39:43] Oku     How could he draw that tile?! [39:45] Oku     This is hopeless. It's exactly what he's after! [39:48] Oku     No matter how I look at it, Akagi's hand... [39:52] Oku     seems to be a 3-4-5 sanshoku hand. [39:55] Oku     It probably looks like this, [40:00] Oku     waiting on the 3 and 6 of circles. [40:07] Oku     It's obvious! That must be it! [40:10] Oku     You must not, Washizu-sama...     You must not act rashly! [40:14] Oku     You can only win your sanshoku     hand with a 5 of circles. [40:19] Oku     Two of those 5 of circles are already visible. [40:21] Oku     Two are left. [40:24] Oku     But you've already discarded     an 8 of circles, which means [40:28] Oku     the only way you can win is if     you draw the 5 of circles yourself. [40:31] Oku     On the one hand, Akagi is in tenpai. [40:35] Oku     You have to keep playing while     you think about folding. [40:38] Oku     And now you've drawn a very dangerous tile. [40:40] Oku     The 3 of circles, the very tile he wants. [40:43] Oku     Your only choice is to retreat. [40:47] Oku     Anyone would agree that     that makes the most sense!

[41:59] Was     You knew I wasn't in tenpai, so you     could discard that dora west wind. [42:19] Was     Your hesitation to discard the west wind... [42:25] Was     And then the bold discard of it later... [42:31] Was     That was all an act. [42:39] Was     Because of that, I made a ridiculous     call on that west wind. [42:51] Was     On top of that, I panicked and     gave up a possible winning tile. [42:59] Was     And then the reckless 3 of circles! [43:06] (Flashback) Was     If you're going to win, then win.

[05:26] Nar     Three of the four tiles in     each suit are transparent, [05:29] Nar     making their faces visible even from the back, [05:34] Nar     and only one is a regular tile     with a black back. [05:41] Nar     No walls are built in Washizu Mahjong. [05:45] Nar     Tiles for the starting hand and each draw are     taken from a hole in the middle of the table, [05:54] Nar     wearing a leather glove on the right hand     to prevent feeling which tile is grabbed. [06:14] Nar     Once the starting hands are drawn,     the dealer draws one more tile from the hole. [06:19] Nar     This is the dora indicator. [06:23] Nar     The same applies to reverse     dora and new dora from kan, [06:29] Nar     which are drawn from the     hole when the need arises. [06:35] Nar     If Akagi can survive through six East-South     matches with these rules, his side wins. [06:42] Nar     Should he die before then, [06:45] Nar     he will lose all that he had     amassed up to that point, [06:49] Nar     and victory will go to Washizu's side. SIGN    1000 points = 1 million [06:53] Nar     The rate is set at 1,000 points     being worth 1 million yen, [06:56] Nar     or 100 cc of blood. SIGN    1000 points = 100 cc of blood [07:00] Nar     It's a one-on-one match     between Akagi and Washizu. [07:04] Nar     At the end of each East-South match,     points are tallied up, including rank bonuses. [07:09] Nar     Additionally, bonus payments     are due every time a direct hit [07:14] Nar     or a tsumo win causes points to trade     hands between Akagi and Washizu. [07:20] Nar     These payments are made     immediately, in cash or blood. [07:29] Nar     This is the essence of Washizu Mahjong.

[08:24] Was     He's avoided riichi because     of the risk of losing his blood, [08:28] Was     but now he declares it and forfeits     control over his discards? [08:34] Was     If the cop were in a position     to play into his hand right away, [08:39] Was     or I were not in a position to win     at all, then riichi would be viable. [08:44] Was     That is to say, if there were a safety net. [08:48] Was     But this riichi is different. [08:51] Was     The cop doesn't have his winning tile. [08:56] Was     And my hand still lives. [08:59] Was     If I build this hand, I can still attack him. [09:09] Was     Most likely, he has a good hand. [09:14] Nar     Washizu's hunch is right. [09:16] Nar     Akagi has an ideal tenpai. [09:19] Nar     He has a five-way wait on the     1,4,7 and 2, 5 of bamboo. [09:32] Was     Still, it's not a guaranteed win. [09:38] Was     He has about a 90% chance. [09:42] Was     Which means his concentration is wavering. [09:48] Was     Here it is! One tile away from tenpai! [09:56] Was     I can kill him. [09:57] Was     He's currently in a state where     he cannot defend himself. [10:00] Was     He has to discard whatever he draws,     no matter how dangerous.

[10:35] Was     Right, Akagi? [10:40] Was     That's why you must always be prudent. [10:44] Was     Yet this riichi is cheap and clumsy.     It feels like it's just relying on luck. [10:51] Was     You haven't done anything like that all this time. [10:59] Was     Does this mean he's looking down on me? [11:03] Was     Does he think I'm in such bad shape? [11:15] Was     Oh, here it is! And it will go right in! [11:20] Was     I can change my edge wait     to a double-sided wait. [11:27] Was     Good. My hand has finally begun to move.

[11:44] Was     What's more, I completed the tougher meld,     and now I have a two-sided wait. [11:51] Was     Akagi declared riichi and cornered himself     into losing control of his discards, [11:56] Was     and now I've caught up to him. [12:00] Was     A battle is a frightening thing. [12:05] Was     One moment's loss of concentration, [12:08] Was     or one sloppy move,     will become a path to destruction. [12:18] Was     All right. [12:19] Was     Stealth!

[28:50] Was     I'd be in riichi with a two-sided wait,     while he'd be left defenseless. [28:57] Was     Of course, if that's the only wait he could     go for, then he could have bet on it. [29:04] Was     But Akagi could choose. [29:09] Was     He could have chosen the     safe single north wind wait. [29:25] Was     If the cop deals into this     hand right away, then...

[32:50] was     In the worst case scenario, he draws     my winning tile and deals into my hand. [33:00] (Flashback) Was     Ron. [33:03] Was     The mangan that decides the entire battle... [33:07] Was     That sort of pathetic death is a possibility! [33:11] Was     That is why the riichi and discard of the north     wind was a move he shouldn't have made. [33:16] Was     But this lunatic does not even     shrink back from a pathetic death.

[49:06] aka     It's actually possible [49:11] aka     that I won't be able to top him in the rankings. [49:15] aka     It's a fact that Washizu has recovered. [49:19] aka     Him being able to demand such a pathetic     condition with a straight face [49:24] aka     is proof that his psyche has recovered. [49:28] aka     Right now, he's in a position     to make something happen. [49:35] aka     The turmoil of the sixth game     is guaranteed to be bitter... [49:41] aka     But... that's why it's fun. [49:47] aka     I'll jump right into that blazing inferno! [50:00] aka     Shall we begin the sixth game, then? [50:06] aka     This will be the last game. [50:13] aka     Either you die, or I die.

[02:05] Nar     These are the tiles used. [02:10] Nar     Three of the four tiles in     each suit are transparent, [02:14] Nar     making their faces visible even from the back, [02:18] Nar     and only one is a regular tile     with a black back. [02:26] Nar     No walls are built in Washizu Mahjong. [02:30] Nar     Tiles for the starting hand and each draw are     taken from a hole in the middle of the table, [02:38] Nar     wearing a leather glove on the right hand     to prevent feeling which tile is grabbed. [02:59] Nar     Once the starting hands are drawn,     the dealer draws one more tile from the hole. [03:03] Nar     This is the dora indicator. [03:08] Nar     The same applies to reverse     dora and new dora from kan, [03:13] Nar     which are drawn from the     hole when the need arises. [03:20] Nar     If Akagi can survive through six East-South     matches with these rules, his side wins. [03:26] Nar     Should he die before then, [03:30] Nar     he will lose all that he had     amassed up to that point, [03:34] Nar     and victory will go to Washizu's side. SIGN    1000 points = 1 million [03:37] Nar     The rate is set at 1,000 points     being worth 1 million yen, [03:41] Nar     or 100 cc of blood. SIGN    1000 points = 100 cc of blood [03:44] Nar     It's a one-on-one match     between Akagi and Washizu. [03:48] Nar     At the end of each East-South match,     points are tallied up, including rank bonuses. [03:53] Nar     Additionally, bonus payments     are due every time a direct hit [03:59] Nar     or a tsumo win causes points to trade     hands between Akagi and Washizu. [04:05] Nar     These payments are made     immediately, in cash or blood. [04:13] Nar     This is the essence of Washizu Mahjong. SIGN    Washizu Mahjong SIGN    Sixth Game SIGN    Start of East Hand 1 [04:30] oug     All right! [04:31] oug     Starting as dealer is a perfect. You get to     carry over your luck from the fifth game. [04:52] oug     Not bad at all... [04:54] oug     He's got two character     melds and a pair already. [04:57] oug     It's a good hand to ride out this wave. [05:00] oug     How is Washizu's hand, though? [05:03] oug     Too bad for him. His hand looks like a mess. [05:07] oug     That hand will take a while. [05:10] oug     Sorry, but East Hand 1 goes to us. [05:15] Nar     Akagi has the advantage. [05:17] Nar     That's the feeling in the air. [05:20] Nar     However, Akagi himself     did not see it that way. [05:28] Aka     That play Washizu made in     the last hand of the fifth game... [05:35] Aka     That brought him back to life. [05:41] Aka     And if that's true, then the     luck isn't with me right now. [05:46] Aka     It's with Washizu. [05:49] Aka     In which case, being the last dealer would've     been the ideal position for an upset. [05:57] Aka     And yet, I end up dealer now. [06:01] Aka     It's just my luck right now to end up     in the one position I didn't want. [06:08] Aka     My tiles look favorable at a glance,     but something's lurking there... [06:15] Aka     This south wind dora that the     heavens have dealt Washizu and me. [06:35] Aka     If I don't discard this south wind,     my hand won't advance. [06:39] Aka     It's the heavy chain binding my feet. [06:44] Nar     Meanwhile... [06:47] Nar     Washizu's hand is steadily advancing. [06:50] Nar     By the eighth turn, their prospects     at the start have reversed. [06:54] Nar     He's ready to corner Akagi. [06:59] Was     Pon. [08:01] Yas     Ron. [08:02] Yas     Just pinfu.

[08:26] Aka     No. [08:28] Aka     I've got to take the proper steps     right away, or I'm dead. [08:32] oug     What? [08:36] Aka     Actually, even if I do that, I might just die. [08:42] oug     What's wrong? [08:44] oug     This isn't like you. [08:46] Was     What are you whispering about? [08:52] Was     What is it? [08:53] Was     Do I have something on my face?

SIGN    Sixth Game SIGN    East Hand 2 [09:40] Nar     The situation is the same in this hand. [09:44] Nar     On the seventh turn, Akagi is     one tile away from a san ankou. [09:48] Nar     At first glance, it looks like a favorable     hand, but in truth, it's too heavy. [09:57] Nar     On the other hand,     Washizu's attacks are nimble. [10:01] Was     Pon. [10:11] Was     Pon. [10:16] oug     This is bad. [10:18] oug     The other side is fast! [10:31] Aka     Pon. [10:42] Aka     Ron. [10:44] Aka     Red dragon only. 1,300. [10:48] oug     That was a close one! SIGN    Sixth Game SIGN    East Hand 3 [11:12] Nar     Washizu still hasn't noticed the     signs that the game favors him. [11:19] Nar     And even Ougi has no choice but to notice it. [11:23] oug     His starting hand is terrible. [11:26] oug     His luck is getting worse and worse. [11:32] oug     His draws are bad, too. [11:34] oug     I guess you were right.     You really are facing a head wind. [11:41] oug     Now what, Akagi? [11:44] Nar     Meanwhile, Washizu... [11:49] Nar     has no useless draws.     By the fifth turn, he's in tenpai. [11:54] Was     Not the best hand, but I am in tenpai. [11:57] Was     I'll go for a riichi. [11:59] Was     A winning draw for a riichi, tsumo, iipeikou     will get me 2,000 from everyone. [12:07] Was     No. Don't rush. [12:09] Was     You can't kill that monster with 2,000 points. [12:14] Was     That's right. [12:16] Was     Now is the time to keep a cool     head and exercise self-control. [12:19] Was     Take a good look. [12:23] Was     With another east wind, [12:26] Was     this hand could be a double     east wind san ankou tenpai. [12:31] Was     With either a 5 or 7 of circles,     I've got a guaranteed san ankou. [12:36] Was     And there's still a chance of adding another     5 of characters dora into the hand. [12:41] Was     It has potential! [12:44] Was     This hand still has a lot of potential! [12:52] Was     I'm going to wait. [12:53] Was     At least until it's worth one more han. [12:57] Was     I have time. [12:59] Was     His hand isn't in order yet. [13:11] Was     I'm going for a tsumo. [13:14] Was     A tsumo that can kill Akagi. [13:48] Aka     Chi. [14:02] Aka     Pon. [14:08] Was     A bamboo honitsu tenpai. [14:12] Was     Or at worst, he may be one away from tenpai. [14:18] oug     Akagi, your hand is a mess! [14:22] oug     What are you collecting     all these opaque tiles for? [14:27] oug     A bluff? [14:29] oug     He's collecting opaque tiles     to put pressure on Washizu. [14:34] oug     Is this the only way he can fight     back against Washizu's luck? [14:39] oug     But will Washizu actually     fall for this obvious bluff? [14:57] oug     He broke his tenpai. [14:59] oug     Why? [15:00] oug     He can't honestly believe that Akagi would     have this many opaque tiles in a sequence! [15:29] oug     We're saved! [15:31] oug     He would've won with that 6 of circles. [15:33] oug     He got a bad draw. Now you     just need to get through this. [15:43] Was     If this 2 of bamboo goes through, [15:46] Was     I'll be back in the san ankou     tenpai that I was going for. [15:51] Was     If I declare a riichi and draw     the east wind or the 7 of bamboo, [15:54] Was     my hand will be worth more than a mangan. [15:57] Was     I really want to get rid of this 2 of bamboo. [16:09] Was     Damn it. [16:29] Was     I would have won! [16:31] Was     With a san ankou! [16:33] Was     I lost it! [16:35] Was     Once is bad enough, but a second time?! [16:49] Was     Wait a moment. [16:51] Was     This isn't the absolute worst. [16:55] Was     The winning tiles are coming     to me like tsunami waves. [17:03] Was     I've got luck on my side. [17:06] Was     Would I have drawn my     winning tiles twice otherwise? [17:13] Was     No, no. That's not right. [17:16] Was     Don't be misled now. [17:18] Was     In order to get into tenpai, I would     have had to discard the 2 of bamboo, [17:22] Was     his most probable winning tile. [17:26] Was     I would have been in tenpai, [17:28] Was     but the tile I'd need to discard     would have led to his win. [17:34] Was     This is the very archetype of bad luck. [17:38] Was     That's where I am. [17:42] Was     I must not be misled... [17:46] Was     The 5 of bamboo dora? [17:54] Was     I break it again and again,     but it keeps reviving... [17:59] Was     What's more, every time,     it's a better hand than before. [18:07] Was     A tsumo san ankou, and now with dora, too. [18:11] Was     One reverse dora and it'd be a haneman. [18:17] aka     Pon. [18:18] was     What? It can't be! [18:21] was     A pon means... [18:24] was     He wasn't in tenpai?! [18:28] was     Which means... [18:30] was     If I hadn't backed down, I would have won. [18:34] was     With that san ankou mangan hand from before! [18:41] was     This brat is screwing with me! [18:47] was     I was misled... [18:50] was     By those calls, [18:52] was     and by those opaque tiles... [18:56] was     He totally played me. [19:01] was     Then just draw it. [19:04] was     East wind or 2 of bamboo.     That will settle this! [19:11] was     What is this? This means that his wait [19:18] was     can only be this red dragon. [19:22] was     On top of being played,     now I get this one, too. [19:26] was     There's no way he's not in     tenpai after all these calls. [19:31] was     Which means... [19:34] was     His waits are either of these two. [19:40] was     I know where the black 3 and 8 of bamboo are. [19:49] was     That only leaves these two patterns. [19:53] was     This is a painfully obvious     single wait on the red dragon. [19:59] was     There's no way I can discard it. [20:39] was     What? [20:41] was     The opaque 6 of bamboo?! [20:44] was     That means those two waits     are both impossible! [20:50] was     Which means... he's not in tenpai? [20:54] was     Not in tenpai?! [20:57] was     He called three times, and he's not in tenpai?! [21:03] was     I could have won, numerous times.     Numerous times! Numerous times! [21:12] was     The gods had chosen me.     They kept pushing on my back! [21:17] was     "Win! Kill!" [21:19] was     "Kill the monster," they kept shouting! [21:25] was     Because my vision was clouded,     I allowed that monster to live. [21:41] oug     He knows. [22:01] was     Now I'm absolutely certain. [22:05] was     That my luck right now is powerful.     That my destiny is to prosper! [22:13] was     I just didn't see it. [22:16] was     I just didn't recognize the truth in it. [22:21] was     I guess this hand ends in a draw.     But I'm in tenpai, so that's fine. [22:25] yas     Me, too. No blood will flow. [22:28] was     But I'm still the dealer. [22:33] was     Hey! Bring me some shaved ice,     with a deep crimson, blood-like syrup! [22:39] guy     Yes, sir. [22:45] aka     I was right. It's beginning to sprout. [22:48] was     What is? [22:54] aka     Fear. [22:57] aka     The seeds of fear I've been     planting in you this whole time [23:01] aka     are finally beginning to sprout. [23:05] aka     That's why you couldn't see     through my obvious bluff, [23:11] aka     and kept breaking your own tenpai,     over and over and over. [23:19] was     Why should I fear you? [23:25] was     All I must do [23:29] was     is turn everything red, [23:33] was     burn everything down. SIGN    Game 6 SIGN    East Hand 3, Bonus 1 [24:26] was     I see. He's got an exemplary devilish nature. [24:32] was     But... [24:34] was     That doesn't mean he's got devilishly good luck. [24:39] was     What he has is a genius-level mental ability [24:43] was     to make his skills and his brain power shine. [24:49] was     But that kind of ability is inconsequential. [24:57] was     The truly strong win with energy. [25:04] was     Real, living energy. [25:08] was     I'll simply blow him away! [25:13] oka     He got it, finally! [25:44] oka     This is impossible. [25:46] oka     From the get-go, it's a honrou honitsu toitoi,     double east wind, white dragon hand! SIGN    Honrou - A hand of all terminal and honor tiles. [25:50] oka     At the very least, it's a dealer baiman. [25:53] oka     24,000 points are guaranteed. [26:10] was     Behold, you demon brat. [26:12] was     This is the strength of one who is chosen: [26:17] was     the energy! [26:19] was     Die. I'll kill you. [26:22] was     This time I will kill you for sure! [26:41] oug     This is insane. [26:43] oug     Why discard the 1 of circles when it's     vital to his honrou honitsu toitoi?! [26:46] oug     You're basically helping him! [26:51] was     You want me to call on that, don't you? [26:57] was     Is your aim to make my hand     stop at honrou honitsu toitoi, [27:01] was     instead of getting all the     way to a yakuman hand? [27:07] yas     You're not calling it? [27:09] was     You're no more than small fry     who can't see the big picture. [27:13] was     I can tell [27:15] was     that this brat is desperate. [27:33] was     The moment I bring the monster down is near. [27:40] aka     Pon. [27:55] was     A characters honitsu? [27:58] was     You're wasting your time. [28:00] was     Nobody can defeat me right now. [28:06] oka     He's not calling it? [28:10] oka     I think calling it and winning     would be the right choice. [28:15] oka     If he drags his feet and [28:17] oka     lets Akagi get ahead of him,     I don't even want to think of it... [28:20] oka     It's true that Akagi has one each     of the east wind and the red dragon. [28:24] oka     Those are the tiles Washizu-sama needs. [28:28] oka     If he discards either of those... [28:32] (Flashback) was     Pon. SIGN    Tsuuiisou - A hand composed exclusively of wind and dragon tiles. [28:33] oka     Then Washizu-sama would be     right on the way to victory. [28:36] oka     A guaranteed tsuuiisou. [28:38] oka     Which means that Akagi has no way of winning. [28:39] (Flashback) was     Pon. [28:42] oka     No matter how you slice it,     Washizu-sama will win first. [28:44] (Flashback) was     Ron. [28:47] oka     However... [28:51] oka     I can't tell... With this kid, I really can't... [28:56] oka     Such common sense doesn't apply to him. [28:58] oka     Before you know it, he's twisted the     situation in some unthinkable way, [29:02] oka     and we're the ones who suffer. [29:06] oka     Also, that cop's hand is coming together, too. [29:10] oka     This is dangerous. There's     no telling what'll happen. [29:14] oka     He should have taken the win. [29:16] oka     Washizu-sama. [29:19] was     Don't worry. [29:20] was     That was a cheap bluff. He's only got trash. [29:28] was     Right? [29:31] was     I won't be deceived. [29:34] was     I won't allow you to tempt     me to cheapen my hand. [29:39] was     I can draw them. [29:41] was     The only tiles that will touch     my hand are honor tiles. [29:51] oka     Tenpai! [29:53] oka     He did it even without Suzuki's help. [29:57] oka     The two dora addition means... [30:03] oka     Dealer baiman. 24,000 points. [30:07] oug     Impossible. [30:09] oug     In just two turns, he's in tenpai     with a honrou honitsu chiitoitsu, [30:12] oug     two-dora hand, a dealer baiman. [30:15] oug     Is he going to win with this now? [30:17] oug     Or is he going to ride this     momentum and climb even higher? [30:23] oug     A tsuuiisou by discarding the two 1 of circles? [30:26] oug     Will he take it that far? [30:26] (Flashback) was     Pon. [30:29] (Flashback) was     Pon. [30:38] oug     Which will it be? [30:41] oug     Which is it going to be, Washizu Iwao?! [30:45] oka     Judging by his character, Washizu-sama     only has eyes for the tsuuiisou now. [30:51] oka     He'll discard the 1 of circles.     He won't extinguish this flame now. [30:54] oka     Regardless of the outcome, he'll let     this hand burn as high as it can. [31:03] oka     What? [31:07] oka     Why didn't he go for the tsuuiisou? [31:09] oka     This isn't like him. [31:11] oka     Suzuki didn't have the green     dragon he was waiting on. [31:16] yas     He discarded one of the three south     winds he had. He's made his choice. [31:20] yas     He dropped the tsuuiisou and went     for the honrou honitsu chiitoitsu, [31:26] yas     two-dora dealer baiman hand. [31:30] oka     I see! The tsuuiisou is no good. [31:34] oka     There are three green dragons left,     but if he goes for a tsuuiisou, [31:38] oka     the east wind and red dragon     waits are not good. [31:41] oka     Akagi has one of each,     and the cop has an east wind. [31:47] oka     That only leaves one red dragon. [31:49] oka     That explains his choice. [31:53] oka     No, rather, it necessitates this choice. [31:56] oka     This hand must be a chiitoitsu hand. [32:00] oka     Washizu-sama is amazing. He knew it. [32:03] oka     He's calm. He's not letting this hand drive him. [32:07] oka     Of course not. [32:08] oka     He can't let this hand slip away,     when it has such potential. [32:13] oka     No matter what anyone says,     the main priority here is to win. [32:24] was     I see. I figured you wouldn't fall for it, Akagi. [32:29] was     But I wonder what that cop will do. [32:35] was     Are you sure about this? [32:37] was     Unless you say something,     this man's mediocre at best. [32:42] was     He'll let go of the treasure... [32:54] yas     He broke apart the south wind triplet [32:56] yas     and gave up on the tsuuiisou     to go for a chiitoitsu.

[11:49] Was     You did well to complete it. [11:56] Was     However, it is nothing but a paper tiger. [12:00] Was     A gutsy bluff. [12:03] Was     I'll discard this west wind for you. [12:09] All     Washizu-sama! [12:10] Was     What?! [12:12] All     You mustn't. [12:13] All     You must avoid a kokushi direct hit! [12:16] Was     It's impossible! [12:18] Oku     That does seem likely... [12:19] Was     He's merely using the opaque tiles to     create a bluff that gives him a way out. [12:25] Was     I am 100% certain. [12:30] Oku     But that wouldn't explain the     opaque tile on the second turn. [12:36] Was     Opaque tile? [12:37] Oku     Once Akagi saw the direction     your hand was taking, [12:40] Oku     he must have wanted every single opaque tile. [12:43] Oku     And yet, on only the second turn,     he discarded an opaque tile. [12:47] Oku     Which means there may be another possibility here. [12:51] Was     Possibility? [12:53] Aka     I left it there. [12:55] Aka     I sacrificed speed to do it. [12:58] Aka     My hand was one step slower, [13:00] Aka     but once I got to my riichi,     that opaque tile revealed its power. [13:07] Aka     The power to sow the seed of confusion. [13:10] Aka     Once they saw it, the seed sprouted, [13:13] Aka     grew vines, and began to strangle his heart. [13:18] Aka     It's pulling my enemy in. [13:22] Aka     Pulling him into turmoil...     into the labyrinthine forest. [13:28] Was     Idiots! [13:30] Was     There is no way he's in tenpai. [13:33] Was     He doesn't have a kokushi. [13:34] Oku     B-But, sir, he is in riichi. [13:38] Oku     If it ends in a draw and [13:40] Oku     he isn't in tenpai, he'll pay a     mangan penalty of 8,000 points. [13:42] Oku     As dealer, that will be 4,000 points to you, [13:45] Oku     and Akagi himself will lose 400 cc of blood. [13:48] Oku     If he loses that amount     of blood now, he will die. [13:52] Oku     He wouldn't take a risk like that, unless— [13:53] Was     You understand nothing. [13:57] Was     He's already thrown his life away. [14:00] Was     Declaring a riichi out of tenpai, [14:02] Was     discarding that opaque tile on the second     turn... Those were all just distractions. [14:07] Was     Nothing more than his old tricks. [14:13] Oku     Washizu-sama, we understand what you're saying. [14:16] Oku     And I, myself, believe that it     is most likely just as you say. [14:22] Oku     But I'm asking you now to keep a cool head [14:26] Oku     and consider this situation for one moment. [14:28] All     Washizu-sama! SIGN    Washizu     122,800 points SIGN    Current Point Difference SIGN    Akagi     23,800 points [14:35] Nar     Currently, Washizu is in first place, [14:37] Nar     with a 99,000 point lead over Akagi.

[16:30] Guy     Washizu-sama! [16:31] Guy     That is the right conclusion. [16:37] Aka     Looks like he chose reason.

[19:13] Guy     We don't need any more points. [19:15] Guy     What we need to focus on is keeping     our win through the remaining hands.

[20:15] oug     This is bad. [20:16] oug     We're going to have a hard     time if they take that route. [20:18] Yasu     You said it. [20:21] oug     With only five hands left, we're going     to need a direct hit off Washizu [20:24] oug     if we want to take the lead. [20:28] oug     But if he's going to play strictly to     maintain his lead, that will be impossible. [20:36] oug     And still, that's what Akagi will have to do. [20:40] oug     Or I lose my arm, we lose this money, [20:43] oug     and Akagi will lose his life. SIGN    Game 6 SIGN    East Hand 4 [21:01] oug     I guess his starting hand isn't too bad. [21:14] oug     I see. He's going directly     for a characters honitsu. [21:20] oug     If he plays it well, he'll get an ittsuu, too. [21:23] oug     And if he gets there with a closed hand, [21:25] oug     with any reverse dora, it'll be a baiman. [21:28] oug     At any rate, he needs to go for     the biggest hands possible now. [21:34] oug     All right, he's got it!     He needed that 7 of characters. [21:41] oug     Good! That's good! [21:47] oug     Good! [21:50] oug     What? The 8 of circles?! [21:53] oug     Why did he have to draw that?! [21:56] oug     He only needed one more for     a characters honitsu. Damn! [22:02] oug     But now, if he draws the 5 of characters... [22:08] oug     Riichi, pinfu, ittsuu.     It would be enough for a mangan. [22:14] (Flashback) Aka     Riichi. [22:18] oug     It's a bit sad that it kills our     hope for a haneman or a baiman, [22:21] oug     but a mangan is good enough. [22:29] oug     A 2 of characters that cheapens the hand? [22:31] oug     What the hell? This tenpai is meaningless! [22:34] oug     The honitsu and ittsuu are gone.     He's down to a pinfu only. [22:38] oug     At a time like this, when all we need is     huge hands, a 2,000 point hand is useless! [22:43] oug     Akagi, you have no choice but to     get rid of the 8 and 9 of circles. [22:47] oug     Then, if you can get the 5 of characters,     you might make it to a honitsu ittsuu. [22:55] Aka     Riichi. [22:56] oug     Wha— [23:06] oug     What the hell are you doing? [23:08] oug     There's no way that's a good idea! [23:12] oug     That's a 2,000 point hand! [23:13] oug     You've got a 100,000 gap to close! [23:15] oug     This isn't the time for these puny little wins! [23:27] Was     If we assume that his four opaque     tiles are at their most ideal, [23:37] Was     he's got a riichi, pinfu, honitsu,     ittsuu, iipeikou... A baiman. [23:44] Was     That's the ideal configuration. [23:47] Was     Normally, that's what it would be. [24:15] Was     I'm in tenpai, too, with a chiitoitsu. [24:22] Was     I discard the 5 of characters     and wait on the 4 of characters. [24:28] Was     Even better, Suzuki has that 4 of characters. [24:32] Was     It's an ideal configuration that     he can deal into right away. [24:35] Was     However... [24:38] Was     I'm not playing into anyone's hand. [24:41] Was     I'm out. [24:45] Aka     Ron. [24:50] Aka     Riichi, pinfu. [24:51] Was     Damn it! [24:58] Aka     One reverse dora. 3,900. [25:01] Was     I knew it, too! [25:05] Was     I got caught in his cheap trap. [25:25] yas     Hey, Akagi. [25:26] yas     What are you thinking? [25:28] yas     We've only got the South round left now. [25:30] yas     What good is a bunch of cheap little wins? [25:32] oug     There's still a 92,000 point     gap between you and Washizu. [25:36] oug     You haven't narrowed it at all. [25:37] oug     What you've got to do now     is get some big hits in! [25:41] oug     Don't you agree, Akagi? [25:42] Aka     No. [25:43] Aka     This is just fine. [25:47] Aka     This hand may be cheap,     but it reflects my true style. [25:53] oug     What? [25:58] Aka     We're actually very close. [26:05] Was     Damn it. SIGN    Sixth Game SIGN    South Hand 1 [26:22] Nar     And so, the Sound round of the final game began. [26:26] Nar     Akagi finally pulls in a great wave of luck. [26:31] Nar     His starting tiles show strong hints     of a yakuman daisangen hand. SIGN    Daisangen - A yakuman hand with triplets of all 3 dragons (yakuman - 4x mangan) [26:38] Nar     What's more, Yasuoka has the     white and red dragons in his hand. [26:42] Nar     Akagi may call on them at any time. [26:55] oug     Amazing. [26:57] oug     This is amazing! [27:00] oug     If Akagi gets a daisangen together, [27:02] oug     and Washizu plays into it,     that's a 48,000 point payoff! [27:06] oug     With Washizu paying and Akagi receiving,     that'll close the gap by 96,000 points. [27:11] oug     Until now, bridging that 92,000 point     gap didn't seem remotely possible. [27:15] oug     But this will blow it away! [27:18] oug     "We're actually very close'"...     You were right! [27:58] Aka     Pon. [28:07] Aka     Pon. [28:20] Nar     In the blink of an eye, Akagi is in tenpai. [28:32] Nar     But then, in the same turn... [28:43] Was     All right. [28:44] Was     This is the end of his daisangen. [28:48] Was     I say that because Suzuki already     has the opaque green dragon. [28:54] Was     Which means that was the last one. [29:01] Was     This means that him drawing that     green dragon was ideal, too. [29:07] Was     Because now those green     dragons will shackle him. [29:12] Was     It's perfectly understandable. [29:14] Was     It was a miraculous chance     for a player close to death! [29:20] Was     A once-in-a-lifetime chance at a daisangen! [29:23] Was     Of course, he wants to get it. [29:26] Was     So he will continue to chase it. [29:29] Was     He'll chase after the last     opaque green dragon tile. [29:36] Was     But... [29:43] Was     He won't draw it. [29:45] Was     You can keep drawing,     but you'll never draw it. [29:50] Was     For you as well, when all's said and done, it was nothing more than a dream. [29:58] Was     To overturn my lead... [30:05] Was     I got it! [30:07] Was     I discard the 9 of characters for a pinfu     tenpai, with a 1, 4 of circles wait. [30:14] Was     And I know that Suzuki has the 4 of circles. [30:18] Was     He can play it for me right away. [30:20] Was     It's over! [30:23] Was     The person hoping for a daisangen [30:29] Was     must have a double pon wait for     the green dragon and 7 of bamboo. [30:37] Was     This 9 of characters is no problem at all. [30:40] Was     It'll pass, and with that,     he'll no longer be dealer. [30:46] Was     There's no way [30:47] Was     he can overturn the 92,000+ point     gap in the remaining three hands... [30:56] Aka     Ron. [31:03] Aka     Shousangen. SIGN    Shousangen - Two triplets or quads of dragons, plus a pair of the third. [31:04] Aka     Dealer mangan. 12,000. [31:09] Was     Damn it, I did it again! [31:20] Was     If that last discard, the 8 of     bamboo, were still in his hand, [31:25] Was     he'd have had a double pon wait on     the 8 of bamboo and the green dragon. [31:29] Was     He could have kept that     daisangen a possibility! [31:33] Was     He discarded that 8 of bamboo before     Suzuki drew the green dragon. [31:40] Was     I've got to hand it to him.     He threw away even a daisangen. [31:48] Was     Which reminds me... The last hand,     too, he threw his honitsu away [31:53] Was     for a direct 3,900 point hit! [32:06] Yasu     Akagi... [32:07] oug     I don't get it. [32:09] oug     What are you doing? [32:10] oug     What the hell are you trying to achieve? [32:16] Oku     Washizu-sama... [32:19] Oku     Actually, it's almost gone. [32:22] Was     Don't fret. [32:24] Oku     With this last 12,000, and the previous 3,900, [32:28] Oku     you've paid a 15.9 million yen     direct hit bonus to Akagi.

[32:41] oku     No matter how many times I count it,     it's only 11.6 million yen! [32:44] Was     I know that. [32:47] Oku     Which means, if you play into     another dealer mangan hand, [32:50] Oku     it will prove insufficient! [32:52] Was     Silence! Enough! [32:58] Aka     I'm close, aren't I, Washizu? [33:04] Aka     Your back is right there.     My hand can reach your shoulder. [33:09] Aka     Just one more step. [33:12] Aka     Just one more breath. [33:16] oug     So that's it. [33:19] oug     So that's what it was! [33:21] oug     You have it, don't you, Akagi? [33:24] oug     A clear path to victory. [33:26] yas     Akagi, I'm glad. Really glad! [33:30] yas     So we do have some hope left. [33:33] Aka     Knock it off. [33:34] Aka     I told you that I intended to win. [33:36] Aka     I never gave up. [33:39] Aka     No matter how harsh the reality of it is. [33:48] Aka     Shall we begin, then? [33:55] Aka     South Hand 1, bonus 1. [33:59] Aka     I'm staying dealer. [34:03] Was     No!

SIGN    Washizu's Remaining Funds SIGN    11.6 Million Yen SIGN    11.6 Million Yen = 11,600 Points [34:16] Nar     Converted to points, that's 11,600. SIGN    Sixth Game SIGN    South Hand 1, Bonus 1 [34:35] Was     Don't get cocky! [34:37] Was     You think you can scare me with the prospect     of taking my cash with direct hits?! [34:45] Was     Washizu Mahjong uses transparent tiles, [34:48] Was     so once you've made up your mind to never     deal into anyone's hand, it's child's play. [34:54] Was     Watch! I won't be dealing     into your hand again! [34:58] Was     Never again! [35:00] Was     First, I've got to dethrone this     monster from his dealer seat. [35:06] Was     All right, not too bad. [35:09] Was     The problem is his hand. [35:14] Was     Good! No matter how I look at it,     I'm coming out on top here. [35:22] Was     Of course, even a cheap hand is fine. [35:25] Was     However, since I absolutely won't     play into his hand anymore, [35:29] Was     riichi is out of the question. [35:35] Was     Which means this red dragon is crucial. [35:40] Was     Suzuki has one. [35:44] Was     But I'll wait to call on it. [35:48] Was     If push comes to shove,     this red dragon is a safe tile. [35:52] Was     Once Suzuki and I are ready     to win, I'll call on it. [35:57] Was     Not a moment sooner. [36:30] Was     It couldn't be... He's in tenpai? [36:35] Nar     Washizu sees three tenpai possibilities. [36:46] Nar     A 2, 5 of bamboo wait, [36:53] Nar     a 5, 8 of circles wait, [36:56] Nar     or... [37:01] Nar     a 4, 7 of circles wait. [37:10] Was     I'm one tile away from tenpai. [37:14] Was     And now, if I discard [37:17] Was     the bamboo or circles, and then call     on the red dragon from Suzuki... [37:30] Was     My wait could be a 3, 6 of circles, [37:40] Was     or a closed wait for the 6 of bamboo. [37:48] Was     Either way, Suzuki can play     into my hand immediately. [37:53] Was     I'm one tile away, with a     guaranteed win attached to it. [37:57] Was     However, [37:59] Was     this 5 of bamboo, and the 4 and 5 of circles     are all tiles Akagi might be waiting for. [38:13] Was     If they pass, Akagi will be     knocked out of the dealer seat. [38:24] Was     Damn it! [38:26] Was     I could dethrone him, but I'm     going to stay absolutely safe! [38:47] Was     What? He's switching up his hand?! [38:49] Was     He discarded the north wind, so I guess     that means he wasn't in tenpai yet. [38:57] Was     Still, this is fine. [39:01] Was     Right now, making sure I don't deal into     his hand is the highest priority. [39:09] Was     As long as I don't do that, my lead is assured. [39:15] Was     Just avoid all danger, then I can     take my time rebuilding this [39:21] Was     into a tanyao hand. [39:24] Was     And his discard of the north wind     further locks in what his hand is. [39:30] Was     He has the north winds as his pair,     with a 5, 8 of circles wait. [39:34] Was     Or, he's waiting on [39:38] Was     the 2, 5 of bamboo. [39:44] Was     Well, I'm not dealing into that hand. [39:54] Was     He keeps the 8 of circles and discards     the 4 of bamboo, which means... [40:01] Was     He's broken up his tenpai? [40:05] Was     I see! [40:08] Was     That 2, 5 of bamboo wait was just too obvious, [40:13] Was     so he's rearranged his tenpai. [40:18] Was     Regardless, his wait is either circles or bamboo, [40:22] Was     and in a pinch, I've got a ton of characters. [40:27] Was     No problem! [40:34] Was     Since I've decided I wouldn't deal     into his hand, I won't do it. [40:38] Was     You're going to shrivel up and die. [40:48] Was     He got another one... [40:50] Was     After the 8, now a 6 of circles. [40:54] Was     If I recall correctly, he broke up the     north wind triplet to make a pair. [41:06] Aka     Riichi. [41:10] Was     Oh, no! It's a chiitoitsu! [41:14] Was     If he wanted to get a     direct hit with this hand, [41:18] Was     he would never go for a two-way wait. [41:20] Was     This is a single wait. [41:22] Was     Moreover, it's a single opaque tile wait. [41:26] Was     The wait that's hardest to read     and hardest to deal with. [41:35] Was     He's been wanting to make it a     chiitoitsu from the very beginning. [41:39] Was     But if he'd done that from the start,     it would've been too obvious. [41:44] Was     I would have just kept tiles that     safeguard me against that chiitoitsu. [41:47] Was     So he tried to pass it off as an     ordinary hand until the very end. [41:53] Was     Damn it... I won't deal into it! [41:57] Was     Riichi, chiitoi, two dora.     It's a guaranteed dealer's mangan. [42:02] Was     12,300 points. [42:04] Was     And if there are any reverse dora,     that's a dealer haneman. 18,300 points. [42:10] Was     With the direct hit bonus, [42:11] Was     I could end up having to pay     up to 18.3 million yen for this! [42:15] Was     I must avoid that at all costs! [42:20] Was     For that, I need... the opaque tiles! [42:27] Was     If he's got a chiitoitsu and     he's waiting on an opaque tile, [42:31] Was     then if I discard opaque tiles,     which are all unique, I'll be safe! [42:36] Was     I won't be dealing into his hand. [43:01] Was     Opaque tiles. I need opaque tiles. [43:05] Was     What? This is bad. [43:09] Was     A glass 8 of bamboo is no good. [43:46] Nar     Washizu, by utilizing all possible     safe and defensive strategies, [43:50] Nar     avoids dealing into Akagi's hand. [43:58] Nar     He continues to avoid it. [44:03] Nar     However, [44:07] Nar     on the 14th turn, [44:08] Nar     Washizu's hand has run out of safe tiles. [44:14] Was     How did this happen? [44:18] Was     I won't deal into his hand. I won't. [44:20] Was     That's all I've wished for all this time, and now... [44:56] Was     It passed. [44:59] Was     It's common sense to believe that the [45:02] Was     8 of bamboo, which I drew after     he declared riichi, is safer [45:06] Was     than the tiles I had before. [45:10] Was     But no, such common sense     does not apply to this monster! [45:14] Was     He'll use his unique sense to sniff out     the tiles I draw after he declares riichi! [45:26] Was     Damn it, still three turns left! [45:30] Was     Please, save me, [45:32] Was     you gods who have always granted     me your divine protection! [45:36] Was     Blow, divine wind! [45:39] Was     Please, carry me away, into safe waters! [45:51] Was     Here it is! [45:55] Was     The fourth 2 of bamboo! [45:58] Was     Yes! My opponent has a     single wait for a chiitoitsu, [46:02] Was     so this fourth 2 of bamboo     is literally my messiah. [46:09] Was     With this, I'll be safe until the last, 17th turn. [46:13] Was     I can get away! [46:15] Was     It seems the gods have chosen me, after all. [46:22] Aka     Ron. [46:25] oug     Akagi... [46:26] oug     Akagi!

[47:04] Was     That's what it should have been. [47:07] Was     That's why you broke up     your triplet of north winds [47:13] Was     and destroyed your tenpai     to discard the 4 of bamboo. [47:17] Was     And then, at the end,     why you got the 6 of circles and [47:21] Was     declared riichi by discarding the 9 of circles. [47:23] (Flashback) Aka     Riichi. [47:26] Was     So it was all a decoy? All of it? [47:31] Was     You did all that to make me     think it was a chiitoitsu to— [47:34] Aka     Washizu. [47:35] Aka     Didn't you hear?

[03:21] Nar     A mad game of Washizu Mahjong     where both bet their blood. [03:25] Nar     The game now cannot end     until one of them is dead... [03:29] Nar     And that climactic moment     is nearly upon them at last. [03:35] Was     Stop him. [03:36] Was     Stop Akagi. [03:39] Was     I've had 70 cc of blood withdrawn so far. [03:44] Was     It's a far cry from the     2,000 cc Akagi has lost. [03:48] Was     But if Akagi, as the dealer, [03:51] Was     scores a direct hit mangan off of me,     it will cost me 12,600 points. [03:57] Was     Combined with the 70 cc already withdrawn,     that would be a total of 1,330 cc. [04:04] Was     My victory would not be so certain anymore. [04:11] Was     Whatever it takes, I have to kick     Akagi out of the dealer's seat. [04:20] Was     First, my starting hand. [04:24] Was     It's not too bad. [04:27] Was     And what about him? [04:29] Was     His hand is similar to mine. [04:32] Was     We could end up waiting on the same tiles, [04:35] Was     meaning it'll be easy for him to make     a hand that wins off my discards. [04:39] Was     I've got to push ahead of him     and win before he has a chance. [04:46] Was     Yes, I can kick him out!     I can kick him out of the dealer's seat! [05:01] Was     A string of useless draws. [05:05] Was     Damn it! My hand isn't going anywhere. [05:18] Was     I can't have this! [05:19] Was     At this rate, his dealer streak will continue. [05:30] Was     South winds... They're honor tiles. [05:35] Was     If I can call on a south wind, I'll be in     tenpai waiting on a 3, 6 of characters. [05:40] Was     Suzuki could play into my hand,     and I'd kick Akagi out of the dealer's seat... [05:44] Was     If only I could call on the south wind. [05:50] Was     He has two south winds!

[06:19] Was     I'm guessing Akagi gets half of my 600     million yen, since he's risking his life. [06:24] Was     What about the other half? [06:27] Was     Don't tell me you and Ougi are [06:29] Was     splitting it fifty-fifty, when he's betting     his arm and you're betting nothing. [06:34] Was     100 would be a fair amount for you. [06:39] Was     But I would give you 200 million. [06:43] ---     What? [06:46] Was     If you discard one of those south winds. [06:52] Yasu     Please. You can't be serious. [06:56] Was     200 million yen... [06:58] Was     That's more than a cop like you     could make in his entire lifetime. [07:02] Was     It's nothing to be ashamed of. [07:04] Was     Take the battle of Sekigahara. [07:06] Was     Ieyasu won because the enemy     commanders changed sides. [07:10] oug     What the hell are you getting at?! [07:17] Yasu     I see... [07:19] oug     Hey, Yasuoka! [07:30] Yasu     I see. [07:33] Yasu     I'm sure there were commanders     who were traitors. [07:36] Yasu     But that doesn't mean everyone in the     Western Army betrayed their side. [07:42] Yasu     I'm sure there were also plenty of commanders [07:45] Yasu     who sensed that the odds were against them, [07:47] Yasu     but kept their word until the very end. [07:51] Yasu     Sorry, but I'm more that type. [07:58] oug     Yasuoka! [07:59] Yasu     You really think I'd go along     with anything he says? [08:04] Was     That's fine, that's fine! [08:05] Was     You didn't throw your south wind and     threw away 200 million yen instead! [08:11] Was     No more jokes. [08:17] Was     But this tenpai with a     1, 4 of characters wait... [08:21] Was     I can't make it a pinfu with     the south winds as a pair, [08:26] Was     so I have no yaku. [08:30] Was     I guess riichi, then? [08:33] Was     No. If I deal into his hand     now, I'll lose more blood. [08:39] Was     My top priority now is to     avoid playing into his hand. [08:48] Was     It's no good. [08:52] Was     Staying defensive is no longer enough. [08:55] Was     If this goes on, I will die. [09:04] Was     Riichi! [09:06] Was     I'll throw my life away if it means     kicking Akagi out of the dealer's seat! [09:12] Was     I'm aware of the risk! [09:16] Nar     Washizu declares a tenacious riichi. [09:20] Nar     However, [09:23] Nar     the hand goes all the way to the 17th turn,     the last before ending in a draw. [10:00] Was     Damn it! [10:01] Aka     Ron. [10:05] Aka     Pinfu, two dora. [10:06] Aka     5,800 points, and with     the two counters, 6,400. [10:09] Aka     With the riichi wager, it's 7,400. [10:12] Aka     That's 740 cc of blood withdrawn. [10:16] Oku     Washizu-sama... [10:19] Aka     Don't worry. He won't die yet. [10:24] Aka     Right? [10:26] oug     Hey, what's the hold-up? [10:29] oug     Extract the blood! [10:36] Oku     Excuse me, sir. [10:39] Oku     Now, then... [11:02] oug     With this, you've had a     total of 810 cc withdrawn. [11:07] oug     Another 1,200 cc, and you'll hit the     absolutely lethal amount of 2,000 cc. [11:12] Yas     We've finally got Washizu in a corner. [11:15] Yas     Right, Akagi? [11:17] Nar     Washizu's suffered four direct hits in a row. SIGN    Sixth Game SIGN    South Hand 1, Bonus 3 [11:21] Nar     With this miracle, Akagi is finally there. [11:26] Nar     Close enough to actually take Washizu's life. [11:32] Nar     On one hand, Washizu desperately wants     to kick Akagi out of the dealer's seat. [11:38] Nar     Their starting tiles are similar, and he     can't seem to pull ahead with his draws. [11:44] Nar     They are, indeed, evenly matched. [11:47] Was     Ahead! [11:48] Was     I need to pull ahead of him,     or I won't get anywhere. [11:50] Was     That monster will get me again     if I let the game drag out. [11:57] Was     I don't need any strategies. [11:59] Was     There's only me. [12:02] Was     I will make a suicide pact with myself! [12:05] Was     That has always been the     source of my strength. [12:11] Was     I need to believe in my own strength. [12:26] Was     All right, just a little more now! [12:29] Was     I have to win! [12:30] Was     I have to win before that     monster can hatch his plot! [12:37] Oku     I'm 99% sure Akagi, the one he     can't deal to, is in hidden tenpai. [12:41] Oku     It's very conceivable that he's in tenpai by now, [12:44] Oku     yet Washizu-sama hasn't looked     at Akagi once this hand. [13:09] Aka     You're being cold, Washizu Iwao. [13:19] Aka     You should look at me now and then. [13:24] Aka     Not so much as a glance, huh? [13:30] Aka     No other choice, then. [13:38] Aka     Riichi. [13:41] Was     Riichi? [13:43] Was     If you deal into my hand, you'll die. [13:45] Was     There are three counters, so a 3,900     point hand will be 4,800 points. [13:49] Was     That would bring you to the lethal amount. [13:55] Was     Wait, the cop is playing into his hand? [14:18] Was     This one is safe. [14:23] Was     Move forward! Forward! [15:25] Was     I've caught up... I've caught up,     but now it gets tricky. [15:33] Nar     At this point, Washizu has     four possibilities for tenpai. [15:38] Nar     Discard the 3 of bamboo and     wait on the 7 of bamboo. [15:44] Nar     Discard the 9 of circles and     wait on the 7 of bamboo. [15:52] Nar     Discard the 6 of bamboo and     wait on the 8 of bamboo. [16:01] Nar     Discard the 8 of bamboo and     wait on the 6 of bamboo. [16:05] Was     The best option would be to discard     the 3 of bamboo or 9 of circles [16:10] Was     for a closed wait on the 7 of bamboo. [16:13] Was     Suzuki could deal into my hand right away. [16:17] Was     With that 7 of bamboo, I'd have     a quick riichi ippatsu win. [16:22] Was     I could finally kick that monster     out of the dealer's seat. [16:25] Was     However... [16:30] Was     It's possible that Akagi is waiting on     the 3 of bamboo or the 9 of circles. [16:37] Was     It is possible. [16:44] Was     If he's waiting on the 9 of circles,     his hand would look like this. [16:50] Was     A 6, 7, 8, 9 of circles wait. [16:58] Was     If he's waiting on the 3 of bamboo,     it would look like this. [17:02] Was     A 2, 3 of bamboo wait. [17:07] Nar     And a look at Yasuoka's hand reveals     that if Akagi is waiting on a 9 of circles, [17:13] Nar     Yasuoka can deal him the     7, 8, or 9 of circles right away. [17:21] Nar     There is no visible 3 of bamboo, [17:22] Nar     but it is possible that the single opaque     tile he has is a 3 of bamboo. [17:27] Nar     Which means, regardless of     whether Akagi is waiting on [17:32] Nar     a 9 of circles [17:34] Nar     or a 3 of bamboo, [17:37] Nar     either tile could easily be obtained from     Yasuoka's hand, putting him in tenpai. [17:46] Was     No, whether it's a 3 of bamboo or a 9 of circles, [17:50] Was     one or the other should pass. [17:53] Was     If I can make one of them pass, I can end this. [17:59] Was     Akagi's dealer streak will be over. [18:03] Was     But wait... His hand could also look like this... [18:10] Was     A suu ankou tenpai.

[18:35] Was     And he could actually draw it, too. [18:39] Was     I must keep moving. [18:40] Was     Standing still is death, running is death. [18:42] Was     So I must make either the 3 of     bamboo or the 9 of circles pass! [18:50] Was     The 9 of circles is the dangerous one. [18:54] Was     The 3 of bamboo will pass. [18:59] Was     No, wait! [19:01] Was     If, by chance, I play into his hand with this... [19:05] (Flashback) Aka     Ron. [19:09] (Flashback) Aka     Riichi, tanyao, iipeikou.

[19:41] (Flashback) Aka     Riichi only, 2,000. [19:42] (Flashback) Aka     With the three counters, that's 2,900. [19:47] Was     So, 290 cc. [19:51] Was     I could survive that amount. [19:54] Was     With the 9 of circles! [19:58] Was     Wait. [19:59] Was     What if there are reverse dora? [20:02] Was     But if I start considering the reverse dora,     death seems certain for either tile. [20:10] Was     Then the 3 of bamboo with the harder wait... [20:17] Was     No... But 8,600 points... [20:29] Was     Riichi! [20:38] Aka     That's right. [20:40] Aka     Washizu, [20:44] Aka     you thought right.

[24:18] Suz     Unbelievable. It's a miracle. [24:20] Suz     Chiitoitsu, two dora. [24:22] Suz     Even under normal circumstances,     that's 6,400 points. [24:26] Was     I remember now! [24:27] Was     You can pray for salvation,     but no god will come. [24:34] Was     They are drawn by the willpower, [24:37] Was     the aura, of those who have     decided to make it on their own. [24:42] oku     If he wins off the dealer's first     discard, he'll have a renhou. SIGN    Renhou - A yaku defined by a non-dealer declaring ron with a starting     hand before the dealer gets a second turn or before any called tile. [24:45] oku     It'll be counted as a baiman of 16,000 points. [24:48] oku     If Akagi discards it now, it all ends here. [24:52] oku     And from Akagi's angle, Washizu's     starting tiles look like a bad hand. [24:58] oku     If nothing else, there's no way     he could ever guess he's in tenpai. [25:02] oku     So even Akagi would deal into his hand. [25:04] oku     The only problem is, does Akagi have     the winning north wind tile or not? [25:12] oku     He does have it. [25:14] oku     Two of them... Too bad. [25:16] oku     If he only had one north wind,     he might've discarded it right away. [25:22] oku     But if Washizu-sama were to draw     the opaque north wind tile now, [25:25] oku     he'd have a chiihou, a yakuman! SIGN    Chiihou - A yakuman hand achieved when a non-dealer completes a hand by calling a discard on the first turn. [25:28] oku     Akagi would pay 16,000 points     as the dealer. It'd be over! [25:33] oku     Normally, this would never happen. [25:37] oku     But with Washizu-sama in this state,     the impossible becomes possible. [25:47] oku     I guess not. [25:49] oku     Luck that strong just isn't possible. [25:52] Nar     That's to be expected. [25:54] Nar     At this point, Akagi had the following tiles. [25:58] Was     You have all three of them, don't you?     Not bad, Akagi Shigeru. [26:04] Was     But even so, I will still... [26:11] Was     Riichi. [26:13] oug     What? [26:14] oug     Impossible! [26:16] Was     A double riichi. [26:18] Was     I've won this one. [26:19] oug     D-Double riichi? [26:21] Yas     That can't be possible! [26:26] Was     And Suzuki can give me     the tile I need at any time. [26:31] Was     But since I got this rare double riichi, [26:34] Was     I should try to draw it myself     for two or three turns. [26:38] Was     If it doesn't work, I can     let Suzuki deal me the tile. [26:49] Was     No. I can't do that. [26:52] Was     I've got Akagi Shigeru right in front of me. [26:56] Was     He goes right for such openings. [27:00] Was     Demon! [27:01] Was     I can't let him have those two or three turns. [27:21] Was     Suzuki-kun's 9 of characters... [27:25] Was     Ron! [27:27] Was     All right! [27:29] Was     Now comes the fun part: the reverse dora. [27:34] Was     I got some. [27:36] Was     Double riichi, ippatsu, chiitoitsu, four dora. [27:40] Was     That's a baiman. [27:42] oug     Impossible! [27:45] Yasu     This isn't Mahjong! This isn't possible in one turn! [27:48] Was     Shut up, shut up, shut up! [27:50] Was     This is Washizu Iwao's Mahjong! [27:55] Was     It's here! [27:57] Was     I can win endlessly now! [28:00] Was     It's my era! [28:04] Was     At last, you are no longer the dealer. [28:08] Was     Now it's open! [28:10] Was     My path to victory is open! [28:15] Was     I can win. [28:18] Was     I can kill you! [28:21] oug     Damn it. He didn't even get a single turn.     One turn would've brought him to tenpai. [28:27] oug     Yasuoka could've played into his hand! [28:29] yas     Damn it! [28:30] yas     Washizu! SIGN    Sixth Game SIGN    South Hand 2 [28:47] Was     The tides have changed, Akagi. [28:50] Was     I've pushed you away from me! [28:54] Was     Akagi, you'll be a mere bystander     for this hand, as well. [29:05] Was     I've still got it! Just like always! [29:09] Was     Just look at this fast starting hand. [29:12] Was     It's perfect for a quick and cheap win. [29:16] Was     Looking at your hand, though, Akagi... [29:22] Was     Heavy on pairs, huh? [29:24] Was     Looks like it'll take a long time. [29:28] Yasu     This is rough. [29:30] Yasu     But if we can hang on here in South     Hand 2, it's still anybody's game. [29:35] Yasu     If Akagi has no hope of winning, then it's on me. [29:42] Yasu     If I can stay dealer, [29:43] Yasu     even if Akagi doesn't win     himself, we'll start over... [29:46] Yasu     He could get another chance. [29:49] Yasu     That would be my contribution. [29:52] Yasu     As for what I can do... [30:13] Oku     It's a half step forward. [30:16] Oku     It's still one away from tenpai,     but he's got a wider wait now. [30:18] Oku     He's almost in tenpai! [30:34] Oku     He did it. [30:36] Oku     Tenpai on the third turn. [30:38] Oku     And the 5 and 8 of characters     he needs are in Suzuki's hand. [30:42] Oku     He can deal into his hand. [30:44] Oku     It's done! [30:45] Was     This 4 of circles is safe, right? [31:02] Was     Riichi! [31:03] oug     It's over. [31:04] oug     If he's declared riichi, that means     they'll deal right into his hand. [31:08] Yasu     Pon! [31:10] Was     Huh? You had some 4 of circles? [31:15] Yasu     Guess I did. [31:25] Was     Your cheap pon tactic took my ippatsu, [31:29] Was     but you can't stop Suzuki     from dealing into my hand. [31:32] Was     What's most important now [31:34] Was     is to move this game along quickly. [31:36] Aka     I see. [31:37] Aka     You're right. [31:40] Aka     But if you really believe that,     you should dedicate yourself to it. [31:44] Aka     To only that. [31:45] Was     What? [31:48] Aka     You already had a tanyao in your     hand, so that riichi was useless. [32:02] Aka     Pon. [32:05] Was     Three dora?! [32:11] Aka     Pon. [32:14] Was     What?! [32:19] Aka     That riichi was rather careless. [32:24] Was     Damn it! [32:28] Was     Already he's in tenpai,     with a toitoi, three dora. [32:32] Was     If he wins, that's a guaranteed mangan. [32:35] Was     And if I deal it, that's 8,000 points. [32:38] Was     800 cc of blood, for a total of 1,900 cc! [32:45] Was     The lethal amount! [32:48] Was     Why did I declare riichi?! [32:53] Was     If I'd just let myself win with a     tanyao, I wouldn't be in this spot! [32:59] Was     He can't have anything but a toitoi hand. [33:04] Was     He's waiting on a 7 of     characters or a 7 of circles, [33:10] Was     or a 7 of bamboo. [33:13] Was     That's a given! [33:16] Was     But I'm in riichi, so I have no choice! [33:22] Was     If I draw it, I have no     choice but to discard it. [33:26] Was     I thought I had made up my mind to win     fast and cheap to move the game along! [33:32] Was     How many times must I     commit the same mistake? [33:37] Yasu     What's wrong, Washizu? [33:39] Yasu     It's your turn. [33:40] Yasu     Draw already. [33:43] Was     If I draw a 7 of characters, 7 of circles, [33:48] Was     or 7 of bamboo now, I'll be under a     toitoi three-dora mangan attack! [33:56] Was     That is... death. [34:03] Was     I get it! I get it already! [34:06] Was     If I can just make it past this point,     I won't stir the waters anymore! [34:14] Was     I won't let my concentration     flag for even a second! [34:21] Was     So please, don't draw them. [34:22] Was     Don't draw a 7 of characters,     7 of circles, or 7 of bamboo. [35:10] Was     It's a characters tile... [35:13] Was     Don't tell me it's a 7... [35:23] Was     If it's a 7 of characters, I'm dead! [35:47] Oku     Washizu-sama! [35:48] Guy     Washizu-sama, it can't possibly be... [35:55] Was     The 8 of characters is fine. [36:01] Was     I'm safe! [36:02] ---     Yes! [36:05] ---     Thank goodness! [36:07] Was     The 8 of characters... [36:13] Was     The 8 of characters? [36:21] Was     The 8 of characters? [36:34] Was     Tsumo! [36:36] Was     Tsumo, tsumo, tsumo! [36:47] oug     Akagi wasn't even ready to win! [36:50] oug     It was just a bluff. [36:54] Was     Idiot. [36:56] Was     All that dancing around did     nothing but dig Akagi's grave. [37:06] oug     With this riichi, tsumo,     tanyao, he gets 3,900 points. [37:11] oug     Akagi's part is 1,000 points, which is     100 cc, which is probably still okay. [37:18] oug     But if those 4 of characters become dora, [37:22] oug     and he gets a riichi, tsumo,     tanyao, three dora for a haneman, [37:25] oug     Akagi's part would then be 3,000 points, [37:27] oug     or 300 cc, putting him at     a total loss of 2,300 cc! [37:32] oug     Even if he got that extra 500     transfused before the game, [37:34] oug     that's 1,800 cc of lost blood. [37:37] oug     This is bad. [37:39] oug     It's a lethal amount. [37:42] Was     Now, let's see what kind of     snake crawls out of this grove. [37:47] Was     Depending on the reverse dora,     this game could end right here. [37:55] Was     If I get three dora, that's a haneman. [38:00] Was     And if he gets 300 cc of blood     drawn, Akagi will die. [38:31] Was     It's been a long fight, Akagi. [38:38] Was     It's over. [38:39] oug     Huh? [38:41] Yasu     It can't be... [38:54] Oku     The reverse dora is the 4 of characters. [38:56] Oku     That means three dora... for a haneman! [39:02] Oku     You did it! You did it! [39:04] Oku     You did it! You did it! [39:06] Oku     Washizu-sama! [39:10] Was     I can smell it, Akagi. [39:13] Was     You smell of death. [39:17] Was     I've been smelling it all this time. [39:20] Was     That sweet smell omitted from     weak things on their way to death. [39:28] Was     Now I can smell it coming from you. [39:38] Was     More important than those points     are your 300 cc of blood. [39:44] Was     Hey, Okamoto. [39:46] Oku     Yes, sir. [39:47] Was     What happens once you withdraw     1,800 cc from someone? [39:51] Oku     They stop moving. [39:53] Was     Speak more clearly. [39:54] Oku     They die. [39:56] Was     That's right. [39:57] Was     And? What are your thoughts? [40:03] Aka     Sorry, Washizu. [40:13] Aka     I have no interest in whether I live or die. [40:19] Aka     It's just death. [40:20] Was     Maybe so, but I am deeply interested. [40:25] Was     Hey, extract the blood! [40:26] Oku     Yes, sir. [40:29] oug     Akagi... You've got to hang on somehow! [40:33] Aka     Yeah, who knows what will happen now? [40:38] oug     Akagi... [40:40] Aka     But if I were to come back,     that would be kind of amusing. [40:46] Aka     Washizu. [40:50] Aka     You'll be shaking next. [40:53] Aka     I promise you that. [40:57] Aka     That is, if I come back. [41:02] Aka     You'd better pray that I die. [41:05] Was     Shut him up, right now! [41:08] Was     Draw that blood! [41:09] Oku     Yes, sir. [41:11] Oku     300 cc needs to be drawn in two parts. [41:14] Oku     I'll draw 100 cc first. [41:20] Yasu     Akagi, don't die. Please! [41:36] oug     Now you're at 1,600 cc lost. [41:39] oug     Are you still all right? [41:53] Oku     And now, the remaining 200 cc. [41:55] Oku     We'll begin the last withdrawal. [42:00] Was     Kill him! [42:02] Was     This time, he has to die! [43:19] Was     I've won! [43:20] Was     I, Washizu Iwao, have won! [43:24] All     Washizu-sama! [43:29] oug     Akagi! [43:35] oug     Akagi! [44:19] oug     You put up a good fight, Akagi. [44:26] oug     You really did. [44:52] oug     It's thanks to you that I still have this. [45:14] Aka     If your time comes,     all you have to do is die. [45:18] Aka     Just die. [45:27] Aka     But is this the time? [45:35] (Flashback) aka     Ron. [45:36] aka     Something was different. [45:39] (Flashback) Was     Ron! [45:41] Aka     Something was different     while I was fighting him. [45:48] Aka     What was it? [45:54] (Flashback) Was     Extract the blood! [45:58] Aka     Something I've never felt... [46:09] Aka     Something I've never experienced before. [46:24] Was     Is he dead? [46:36] Aka     I see. [46:41] oug     Akagi! [46:43] Yasu     Akagi! [46:46] Aka     You really thought I'd die? [46:49] Was     You bastard! [46:51] Aka     Our battle is only just beginning. [46:56] Aka     We've got two more hands to go. [46:59] Aka     Isn't that right, Washizu? [47:01] Was     He's come back from the dead again?! [47:05] Aka     No. I wasn't alive before. [47:09] Was     What? [47:11] Aka     I never truly felt like I was ever alive. [47:18] Aka     But these last two hands... [47:22] Aka     I want to see how this will end,     more than anything. [47:27] Aka     To do that, I have to be alive. [47:38] Aka     I've never felt like this before. [47:44] Aka     This is what it means to be alive, isn't it? [47:53] Aka     I have to thank you, Washizu. [47:56] Aka     This is the first time     I've ever felt this way. [47:59] Aka     You helped me feel it, for the first time. [48:04] Was     It's nothing to thank me for. [48:08] oug     I had faith in you, Akagi. [48:12] oug     I knew you wouldn't die. [48:14] Yasu     How many times do you     have to scare us like that? [48:21] Aka     I am filled... [48:23] Aka     For once, I'm actually filled with motivation. [48:31] Aka     Let's go. [48:34] Aka     We're going Washizu hunting. [48:37] Was     Good! [48:39] Was     As you wish, we will finally     settle this once and for all. [48:45] Aka     Will you die, or will I die? [48:50] Aka     It's the final battle. [49:25] oug     What? Me? [49:31] oug     I can't go to the other side yet. [49:34] oug     I have to scrape by in life for a     bit longer. You know, scrape by. [49:47] oug     Here's the proof that you     were alive back then.
