<br>**[01:23] ura**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*What's with this kid?*<br>**[01:26] ura**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*A multi-sided wait for a suu ankou?!*<br>**[01:28] ura**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*After he declared an open riichi,*<br>**[01:30] ura**<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I dealt into his hand with*<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;this 2 of characters.*<br>**[01:32] ura**<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;It's mangan hand and*<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;he's going to let it go?*<br>**[01:37] ura**<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;So he's dead set on drawing the*<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;tile he needs for the suu ankou?*<br>**[01:42] ura**<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If he really believes that*<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;will happen, he's just trash.*<br>**[01:49] ura**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Your sense of gambling is weak!*<br>**[01:53] ura**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*If you can't do it,*<br>**[01:55] ura**<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;you will have missed the*<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;opportunity to get a*<br>**[01:57] ura**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*direct mangan hit off of me for good.*<br>**[02:00] ura**<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The last straws of victory will*<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;be slipping from your grasp here!*<br>**[02:05] ura**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Damn, breaking my hand to deal<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;into his has made my draws crap.<br>**[02:15] ura**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*This time he passed on a tsumo win.*<br>**[02:18] ura**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*He insists on going for the suu ankou.*<br>**[02:20] ura**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*He's crazy.*<br>**[02:24] ura**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*There it is.*<br>**[02:25] ura**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*I'm back in tenpai.*<br>**[02:26] ura**<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A double pon wait for 6*<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;and 8 of characters.*<br>**[02:30] ura**<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I'll make you regret your*<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;ridiculous play style.*<br>**[02:34] nar**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;And in the 15th turn,<br>**[02:36] nar**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Akagi draws yet another winning tile.<br>**[02:40] ish**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*There it is.*<br>**[02:41] ish**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*He can't draw it out any longer.*<br>**[02:43] ish**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*There are only two draws left.*<br>**[02:46] ish**<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Besides, he can't discard*<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;this tile against Urabe.*<br>**[02:48] ish**<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Urabe has a chinitsu hand...*<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;He can't be waiting for anything else.*<br>**[02:58] ura**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*What the hell?*<br>**[02:59] ura**<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This is how the top player*<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;of the Kawada Group*<br>**[03:01] ura**<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;plays in a match with several*<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;million riding on it?*<br>**[03:05] ura**<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;He's playing like a drunkard,*<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;with no sense of judgment left.*<br>**[03:10] ura**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Ron, chinitsu, mangan. That's 12,000!<br>**[03:15] ish**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*This is worst that could happen.*<br>**[03:17] ish**<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Urabe and Akagi are now*<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;over 70,000 points apart.*<br>**[03:22] ish**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*It's hopeless.*<br>**[03:23] ish**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Akagi...*<br>**[03:26] nar**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Only two hands left...<br>**[03:31] ota**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;What's wrong?<br>**[03:33] aka**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;You made a mistake.<br>**[03:34] aka**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;You were off by one.<br>**[03:36] aka**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;You split it at 12.<br>**[03:39] ota**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I'm sorry!<br>**[03:40] yosh**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Come on, man.<br>**[03:44] ish**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*He's calm.*<br>**[03:46] ish**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Despite being in this hopeless situation.*<br>**[03:49] ish**<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Does he really have*<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;something in the works?*<br>**[03:53] ish**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*A secret plan to cause an upset?*<br>**[03:55] nar**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Akagi's starting hand.<br>**[03:58] ish**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Damn.*<br>**[03:59] ish**<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;He gets this hand when*<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;we need something huge?*<br>**[04:04] ish**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*What is this?*<br>**[04:06] ish**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*His hand is getting cheaper and cheaper.*<br>**[04:10] ish**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*He's in tenpai.*<br>**[04:12] ish**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;But there's no point in<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;winning with this hand.<br>**[04:15] aka**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Kan.<br>**[04:19] ish**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*What?*<br>**[04:23] ish**<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;His trash hand suddenly*<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;turned into a big one.*<br>**[04:26] ish**<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Four dora, riichi, tsumo.*<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;That's a haneman.*<br>**[04:29] ish**<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;There's no way he won't get a*<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;tsumo with this three-way wait.*<br>**[04:32] aka**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Riichi.<br>**[04:35] ish**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*No way!*<br>**[04:36] ish**<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Why did he throw away*<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the three-way wait?!*<br>**[04:39] ish**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Why?!*<br>**[04:40] ish**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Is it to get a direct hit off Urabe?*<br>**[04:43] ish**<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Still, that's no reason to*<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;throw away a three-way wait*<br>**[04:47] ish**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*for a single wait on the north wind!*<br>**[04:49] ish**<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;What's more, there are already*<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;two out in the discards.*<br>**[04:51] ish**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*It's a hell wait.*<br>**[04:53] ish**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Urabe is not that careless.*<br>**[04:57] ish**<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;He won't discard it, no matter if it's the*<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;north wind or the 5, 8, or 7 of bamboo.*<br>**[05:00] ish**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Since it won't come from him,*<br>**[05:02] ish**<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Akagi should have stayed with*<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the easy three-way wait.*<br>**[05:05] ish**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*And yet he...*<br>**[05:07] ish**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Wait.*<br>**[05:09] ish**<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The tile we saw in the*<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;beginning was a north wind.*<br>**[05:14] ish**<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;So between the dead wall and the*<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;discards, that's 3 north winds out.*<br>**[05:19] ish**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Meaning this wait is dead.*<br>**[05:21] ish**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*There's no way for him to win.*<br>**[05:23] ish**<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;How could he have made such a*<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;mistake at this crucial moment?*<br>**[05:27] ish**<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;No, Akagi would never make such*<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;an elementary mistake here.*<br>**[05:32] ish**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*He must have some sort of plan for this.*<br>**[05:35] ish**<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;One possibility is that the next dead*<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;wall draw will be the north wind,*<br>**[05:40] ish**<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;and that Akagi gets the*<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;last 6 of bamboo for a kan.*<br>**[05:44] ish**<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;He'll win by drawing the north*<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;wind from the dead wall.*<br>**[05:47] ish**<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;But the fourth 6 of bamboo*<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;is already in the discards.*<br>**[05:50] ish**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*So this won't happen.*<br>**[05:52] ish**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*The only possibility remaining*<br>**[05:54] ish**<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;is that someone declares kan*<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;and discards the north wind.*<br>**[05:57] ish**<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;But obviously, neither Urabe nor*<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the other players will declare kan.*<br>**[06:02] ish**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Nobody would willingly add more dora.*<br>**[06:07] ish**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*It's impossible.*<br>**[06:08] ish**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*There's no chance.*<br>**[06:10] ish**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*That north wind will never be discarded.*<br>**[06:14] ish**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Another safe tile.*<br>**[06:16] ish**<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;After the riichi, Urabe has*<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;only discarded safe tiles.*<br>**[06:19] ish**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Even if he had kept his three-way wait,*<br>**[06:21] ish**<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;even if there was another*<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;north wind somewhere,*<br>**[06:24] ish**<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Urabe would have never*<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;discarded the winning tile.*<br>**[06:27] ish**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Urabe's going to play it 100% safe.*<br>**[06:29] ish**<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;An easy game of Mahjong where*<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;he doesn't need to think.*<br>**[06:33] nar**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;No.<br>**[06:35] nar**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In fact, Urabe was struggling.<br>**[06:37] nar**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;It only seems to be an easy<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;game to the observers.<br>**[06:41] nar**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Urabe sees the four dora.<br>**[06:44] nar**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Akagi's riichi is nothing but ominous.<br>**[06:49] ura**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I'm in tenpai.<br>**[06:51] ura**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;But winning with this makes no sense.<br>**[06:54] ura**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Safe tile!*<br>**[06:57] ura**<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The guy to my left already*<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;discarded the 7 of characters,*<br>**[07:00] ura**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*so I'm safe for the next turn, too.*<br>**[07:01] ura**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*The problem is the turn after that.*<br>**[07:08] ura**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*The tiles are clumping up...*<br>**[07:09] ura**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*A typical triplet game.*<br>**[07:14] ura**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*What's going on?*<br>**[07:16] ura**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Getting all the same tiles hurts.<br>**[07:18] ura**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I suppose I could declare kan and<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;hope my draw gives me a safe tile,<br>**[07:22] ura**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;but if I draw a dangerous tile,<br>**[07:23] ura**<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;all I would have accomplished*<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;is giving him more dora.*<br>**[07:29] ura**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Wait a second.*<br>**[07:30] ura**<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;There are only two turns*<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;left in this hand.*<br>**[07:37] ura**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*So this one passed.*<br>**[07:40] ura**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Now I'm safe.*<br>**[07:42] ura**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*I've made it through.*<br>**[07:43] ura**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*With only one turn left, it's over.*<br>**[07:47] ura**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Another dangerous tile...*<br>**[07:50] ura**<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;But I have a plan for*<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the 17th and final turn.*<br>**[07:54] ura**<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The trump card handed to me*<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;by coincidence in the 16th turn.*<br>**[07:58] ura**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Kan.<br>**[08:03] ura**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This tile hasn't been discarded yet.<br>**[08:05] ura**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Then another.<br>**[08:06] ura**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Kan!<br>**[08:08] ihs**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Wh-What is this?*<br>**[08:10] ura**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*This one!*<br>**[08:13] ura**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*This is what I wanted.*<br>**[08:15] ura**<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This is the tile everybody*<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;saw at the beginning*<br>**[08:16] ura**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*of this hand because of that mistake.*<br>**[08:19] ura**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*I'm sure Akagi remembers that, too.*<br>**[08:22] ura**<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;There's no way he's*<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;waiting for the north wind.*<br>**[08:25] ura**<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;And with these two kan,*<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;he doesn't get to draw anymore.*<br>**[08:30] ura**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*I killed two birds with one stone.*<br>**[08:38] ish**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Impossible.*<br>**[08:40] ish**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Am I dreaming?*<br>**[08:47] aka**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;You are like a secure vault right now.<br>**[08:50] aka**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Any sort of half-baked attempts<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;won't let me get points from that vault.<br>**[08:54] aka**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Logic won't work.<br>**[08:56] aka**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Logic won't even get into the keyhole.<br>**[08:59] aka**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In order to get the key in,<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I have to use another force.<br>**[09:04] aka**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If I had to name it, I'd call<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;it the force of coincidence.<br>**[09:08] aka**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;You can't defend against something<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;that happens by accident.<br>**[09:10] aka**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The key will turn with<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the help of coincidence.<br>**[09:14] ish**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*It was all taken into account...*<br>**[09:16] ish**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Urabe's ironclad defense,*<br>**[09:18] ish**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*his logic...*<br>**[09:19] ish**<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;By Akagi's Mahjong which*<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;incorporates coincidence.*<br>**[09:22] ish**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*By his peerless capacity.*<br>**[09:27] aka**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I guess it's a total of 10 reverse dora.<br>**[09:29] aka**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;With the riichi, it's a sanbaiman.<br>**[09:32] ish**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Two coincidences.*<br>**[09:34] ish**<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The accidental uncovering of the north wind*<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;at the beginning, and Urabe's two kan.*<br>**[09:39] ish**<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;So Akagi wasn't waiting so*<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;much for the north wind,*<br>**[09:42] ish**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*but for the kan that would be born*<br>**[09:44] ish**<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;from the tendency of Urabe's*<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;hand to yield all those triplets.*<br>**[09:48] ish**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*In other words,*<br>**[09:50] ish**<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;he was waiting on the opportunity*<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;created by coincidence.*<br>**[09:52] nar**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;People can evade logic,<br>**[09:54] nar**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;but can't do the same with coincidence.<br>**[09:56] nar**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A strategy that far surpasses the<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;imagination of the average mind.<br>**[09:59] nar**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In fact, maybe it should be called godly?<br>**[10:03] nar**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A blade from another realm...<br>**[10:05] nar**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Akagi's riichi, with a wait on coincidence.<br>**[10:12] nar**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Akagi versus Urabe.<br>**[10:14] nar**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The difference between them has<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;shrunk from over 70,000 to 22,500.<br>**[10:18] nar**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Akagi is the dealer for the last hand.<br>**[10:21] nar**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If he gets a direct mangan hit off<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;of Urabe, he'll take over the lead.<br>**[10:27] fuj**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Urabe.<br>**[10:28] fuj**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Can you do this?<br>**[10:30] ura**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Don't worry.<br>**[10:31] ura**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;That sort of ridiculous<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;win was a one-time thing.<br>**[10:36] ura**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I won't deal into his hand anymore.<br>**[10:38] ura**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;He won't take over the lead even<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;if he gets a mangan tsumo win.<br>**[10:44] ura**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Basically, he won't be able<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;to beat me with just one hand.<br>**[10:48] ura**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;He won't be able to<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;kill me with one arrow.<br>**[10:52] ura**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;He'll need a second one.<br>**[10:54] ura**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If he only gets 3,900 or 5,800 hands,<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;he'll need a third or fourth arrow.<br>**[11:01] ura**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In contrast, I can win with anything.<br>**[11:04] ura**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;All I have to do is focus on speed,<br>**[11:08] ura**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;while he has to worry<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;about composition, as well.<br>**[11:11] ura**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This will make all the difference<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;in a short finale like this.<br>**[11:15] fuj**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Okay.<br>**[11:16] ura**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Don't worry, Boss.<br>**[11:19] ura**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;He'll fall one step short.<br>**[11:21] ura**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I will keep my lead.<br>**[11:23] fuj**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;All right, if you say so,<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;my mind is at ease.<br>**[11:27] fuj**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I won't say anything else.<br>**[11:29] fuj**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I'm counting on you.<br>**[11:30] ura**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Yes, sir.<br>**[11:33] ura**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Damn kid.*<br>**[11:35] ura**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*I won't let everything go your way.*<br>**[11:40] nar**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;It's the final hand.<br>**[11:42] ura**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Just you watch, I'm going<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;to make my getaway.<br>**[11:46] ura**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Not bad.*<br>**[11:47]

ura**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Did he switch the tile?*<br>**[12:34] ura**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*No, he flipped it with just his index finger.*<br>**[12:37]

ura**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Damn it!*<br>**[13:01] ura**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Why did I have to get this tile?*<br>**[13:03] ura**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*He's probably going for a tanyao,*<br>**[13:05] ura**<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;but it's equally likely that*<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;he's going for honor tiles.*<br>**[13:09] ura**<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;East wind, south wind,*<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;and the green dragon*<br>**[13:10] ura**<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;all have two tiles out*<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;in the discards already.*<br>**[13:12]

nar**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Again, Urabe has a single<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;wait for the white dragon<br>**[13:38] nar**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;where he can only win with a

characters, in his hand, too.*<br>**[13:45] ura**<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;That means tanyao or an honor tile hand*<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;plus five dora will give him a haneman.*<br>**[13:51] ura**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*I'll lose, even if he doesn't win off me.*<br>**[13:54] nar**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;At this point, Urabe was<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;still on the offensive.<br>**[13:56] nar**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In this situation, not doing so<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;would be out of the question.<br>**[14:00] aka**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Chi!<br>**[14:01] nar**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Akagi makes a move on the eighth turn.<br>**[14:06] ura**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*He discarded a

tanyao hand?*<br>**[14:12] ura**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Or honor tiles?*<br>**[14:13] nar**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Seeing Akagi discard a 6 of characters,<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the next player follows suit.<br>**[14:19] ura**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*That's the third.*<br>**[14:21] ura**<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Including the one in my hand,*<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;that's three dora tiles out.*<br>**[14:24] ura**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*The last one must be in his hand.*<br>**[14:27] ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Damn...*<br>**[14:28] ura**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*What?*<br>**[14:31] ura**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*The fourth...*<br>**[14:32] ura**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Now I know where all the dora are.*<br>**[14:34] ura**<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;So that means he discarded the*<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;only dora that he had in his hand.*<br>**[14:39] ura**<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I thought he would take advantage of*<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;this situation and come in for the kill.*<br>**[14:44] ura**<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;But I guess he's only after*<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a mangan hand for now.*<br>**[14:50] ura**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*So even this kid gets complacent.*<br>**[14:54] nar**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;And in the ninth turn,<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Urabe is at a crossroads.<br>**[15:00] ura**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*In order to maintain my tenpai,*<br>**[15:02] ura**<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I have to discard the 8 of bamboo*<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;or the white dragon.*<br>**[15:04] ura**<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The white dragon is the*<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;last remaining honor tile.*<br>**[15:07] ura**<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Yet this 8 of bamboo isn't*<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;exactly safe, either.*<br>**[15:11] ura**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*I don't need to overextend myself here.*<br>**[15:12] ura**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*The haneman threat is gone now.*<br>**[15:15] ura**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*The only danger is a direct mangan hit.*<br>**[15:17] ura**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*And his luck is waning, as well.*<br>**[15:21] ura**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*His call on the 2 of characters proved that.*<br>**[15:24] ura**<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If he still had luck,*<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;he should have won with that 2.*<br>**[15:30] ura**<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Alternatively, a 5 of characters*<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;would have been discarded,*<br>**[15:33] ura**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*and he could've kept his dora.*<br>**[15:35] ura**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*But he had no choice but to discard it.*<br>**[15:38] ura**<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;It's a typical example of someone*<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;whose hand is going downhill.*<br>**[15:41] ura**<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;He must have discarded it*<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;because he saw the same signs.*<br>**[15:44] ura**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*I'm sure of it.*<br>**[15:46] ura**<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Under these conditions, if I was*<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;bold and dealt into his hand,*<br>**[15:49] ura**<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I'd never be able to look*<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;myself in the eye anymore.*<br>**[15:52] ura**<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In any case, there's a*<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;certain way for me to win.*<br>**[15:56] ura**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*He won't have a chance because*<br>**[15:57] ura**<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I can crush any chance for him*<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;to get a mangan hit off me.*<br>**[16:01] ura**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Completely!*<br>**[16:05] ura**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Sorry, but I'm out.*<br>**[16:07] ura**<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I'm

tile,<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Urabe's game is no longer offensive.<br>**[16:21] nar**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;He only deals safe tiles.<br>**[16:23] nar**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;He runs.<br>**[16:25] nar**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;And as if to push him even<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;further, in the 13th turn...<br>**[16:31] ura**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*There it is, the white dragon.*<br>**[16:33] ura**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*That's the third.*<br>**[16:34] ura**<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The possibility of him*<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;having honor tiles
