[00:02] Nar
The summer of Showa Year 40 (1965)...
[00:16] Nar
The match between Akagi and Washizu
that would later become legend
[00:20] Nar
in the Mahjong underworld.
[00:24] Nar
Washizu, the king of the underworld,
bet his entire fortune.
[00:29] (Flashback) was
Extract the blood.
[00:32] Nar
Akagi bet his own blood,
making this a life-or-death battle.
[00:41] Nar
It was the first blood-draw
in Washizu's vampire Mahjong.
[00:46] (Flashback) Was
Death generally starts creeping in once the body
[00:53] (Flashback) Was
loses about a third of its blood supply.
[00:56] (Flashback) Was
Usually the blood loss is
fatal before the 50% mark.
[01:02] Nar
In Akagi's case, the amount
of blood was 2,000 cc.
[01:07] (Flashback) Was
Each of these bottles holds 100 cc.
[01:12] (Flashback) Was
With twenty of these filled,
you will definitely die.
[01:17] (Flashback) Was
How fun...
[01:21] (Flashback) Was
How truly fun!
[01:57] Yasu
Want some?
[01:58] Aka
No thanks.
[01:59] Aka
Got a cigarette instead?
[02:01] Yasu
Sure.
[02:05] oug
There's no way you can hold out.
[02:11] oug
Hey, Akagi.
[02:13] oug
You really think you can make it
through six East-South matches?
[02:16] oug
You'll be lucky to make it through two!
[02:18] Yasu
What's more important right now
[02:20] Yasu
is how he'll overturn the 14,000 point
gap between him and Washizu.
[02:24] Aka
He's right, Ougi-san.
[02:28] oug
True.
[02:32] oug
But if you're not ranked higher than Washizu
at the end of this East-South match,
[02:38] oug
just the ranking bonus of
20,000 will cost you 2,000 cc.
[02:45] oug
That's instant death. Everything will be over.
[02:49] Yasu
Why don't we keep a more positive outlook?
[02:51] Yasu
If Akagi gets a mangan,
[02:54] Yasu
he could get back the 400 cc
he just lost, right then and there.
[02:59] Yasu
Right, Akagi?
[03:01] Was
Laughable.
[03:03] Was
You requested this reckless rate of
20,000 points being worth 2,000 cc,
[03:07] Was
and you can't even get through this East round.
[03:11] Was
Already, your life hangs by a thread.
[03:16] Was
You do indeed have some talent,
[03:19] Was
but it amounts to no more than little tricks.
[03:32] (Flashback) Was
It looks like you discovered
the second discard pile.
[03:36] Was
In the darkness of Mahjong lurks a demon king,
[03:39] Was
and he appreciates my maturity and
elegance more than childish tricks.
[03:46] Aka
Old man.
[03:48] Was
What?
[03:49] Aka
Tell your demon king that
what I'm doing right now
[03:54] Aka
is feeding you hope.
[03:57] Was
Hope? To me?
[04:01] Aka
Yeah.
[04:07] Aka
You'll slowly come to see that.
[04:10] Was
I wonder how long you'll be
able to speak so brashly.
[04:25] Aka
Drop dead, heretic.
[04:29] Aka
You're someone nobody understands, like me.
[04:33] Aka
A lost madman.
SIGN Episode 2
SIGN Washizu Mahjong
[04:46] Nar
Washizu Mahjong.
[04:50] Nar
These are the tiles used.
[04:55] Nar
Three of the four tiles in each suit are transparent,
making their faces visible even from the back,
[05:03] Nar
and only one is a regular tile with a black back.
[05:10] Nar
No walls are built in Washizu Mahjong.
[05:14] Nar
Tiles for the starting hand and each draw are
taken from a hole in the middle of the table,
[05:23] Nar
wearing a leather glove on the right hand
to prevent feeling which tile is grabbed.
[05:43] Nar
Once the starting hands are drawn,
the dealer draws one more tile from the hole.
[05:47] Nar
This is the dora indicator.
[05:52] Nar
The same applies to reverse
dora and new dora from kan,
[05:55] Nar
which are drawn from the
hole when the need arises.
[06:04] Nar
If Akagi can survive through six East-South
matches with these rules, his side wins.
[06:10] Nar
Should he die before then,
[06:14] Nar
he will lose all that he had
amassed up to that point,
[06:18] Nar
and victory will go to Washizu's side.
SIGN 1000 points = 1 million
[06:22] Nar
The rate is set at 1,000 points
being worth 1 million yen,
[06:25] Nar
or 100 cc of blood.
SIGN 1,000 points = 100 cc of blood
[06:29] Nar
It's a one-on-one match
between Akagi and Washizu.
[06:32] Nar
At the end of each East-South match,
points are tallied up, including rank bonuses.
[06:38] Nar
Additionally, bonus payments
are due every time a direct hit
[06:43] Nar
or a tsumo win causes points to trade
hands between Akagi and Washizu.
[06:49] Nar
These payments are made
immediately, in cash or blood.
[06:57] Nar
This is the essence of Washizu Mahjong.
SIGN Washizu Mahjong
SIGN First Game
SIGN South Hand 1
[07:21] oug
He's 14,000 points behind Washizu.
[07:25] oug
Akagi may talk big, but that's the reality.
[07:31] oug
He may do some fancy footwork and
avoid playing into his opponent's hand,
[07:35] oug
but he can't stop him from
drawing a winning tile.
[07:38] oug
That's Mahjong.
[07:40] oug
Akagi, how are you going to play?
[07:45] Was
What is this hand?
[07:51] Was
I've drawn this already?
[07:58] Was
If I discard the 5 of characters, I'll be
in tenpai with a 2, 5 of circles wait.
[08:07] Was
If I win this one, I'll have a
mentanpin, sanshoku, with one dora.
SIGN Sanshoku - Same sequence (triplets) of all 3 suits.
[08:15] Was
And he can play into my hand.
[08:18] Was
If I declare riichi, I'll have a
guaranteed ippatsu, and a haneman.
SIGN Ippatsu - Winning in the turn after declaring riichi.
[08:22] Was
If I get even one reverse
dora, it'll be a baiman.
SIGN Baiman - Double mangan, worth 16,000 points (24,000 for the dealer).
[08:29] Was
This is pointless.
[08:31] Was
This win will end it all.
[08:34] Was
The current gap of 14,000 points
between Akagi and me
[08:38] Was
will widen to 26,000, or even 30,000 points.
[08:44] Was
Reversing the situation will be impossible.
[08:46] Was
His death will be certain.
[08:50] Was
I guess that's street kid Mahjong for you.
[09:00] Was
Riichi.
[09:01] Aka
Nope.
[09:03] Aka
Tanyao, one dora. 2,600.
[09:08] Was
A single wait for the 5 of characters?
[09:12] Was
Boy...
[09:14] Was
He took the 5 of characters
that would naturally come out
[09:19] Was
if I were to go for a sanshoku.
[09:22] Was
The evidence was in the 6 of circles
he discarded just before.
[09:27] Was
Had he kept the 6 of circles in his hand,
[09:29] Was
his tenpai would have looked like this.
[09:32] Was
He would've had a 1, 4, 7, 6 of circles wait.
[09:36] Was
Yet he threw away that four-way wait
[09:39] Was
for this single 5 of characters wait.
[09:45] Was
Pretty good.
[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.
[24:17] (Flashback) Aka
Tsumo.
[24:20] oug
...a toitoi hand.
SIGN Toitoi - A hand consisting of all triplets or quads, and a pair.
[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!
[45:50] Was
Do you not want to survive?
[45:57] Aka
Old man.
[45:59] Was
What?
[46:01] Aka
I don't want you forgetting
[46:03] Aka
my points.
[46:06] Was
Shit!
[46:10] Nar
Along with the points,
[46:12] Nar
Akagi collects 3.9 million yen from
the direct hit bonus off of Washizu,
[46:17] Nar
and the first game is over.
