Saki ch181: Exchange

Yuki is about to use her left hand...

Here is a couple of chapter notes and a comment regarding the end of the chapter. Hidden to avoid spoilers.

Chapter notes
 - Just a reminder, the Kokuma is a Japan-wide tournament that takes place some time after the Interhigh. Middle school 3rd years and high school 1st years compete together in one category while high school 2nd and 3rd years do the same in another category. That's why Yuki is a potential opponent to Izumi (but not to the other Senriyama girls).

- Kinue's "nice pinzu hand" in the semifinal was in chapter 140. A baiman ron on Davin, no less.

- Note that near the end of the chapter, Mairu is dealer and she just won South 4 so she could have stopped the match there if she wanted to, but she decides to extend it for one bonus round. If she wins, that's a sanbaiman on the captain match yes, but only if the round "South 4 Bonus 1" takes place. This can only happen if the last dealer wins South 4 and decides to extend the match too. If it's Himeko and she's losing, she will obviously do just that but if it's any of the others...

An interesting scenario would be if the last dealer is in last place by the end of South 4. Such a player would have nothing to lose by extending the match, so might as well risk it, but by doing so she may be blatantly giving the victory to Shindouji... unless someone blocks the Reservation which, as we know, is supposed to be an unblockable ability. That would make for an interesting end of the game in my opinion but we'll see.

  2. Thanks for your hard work !
    concerning your "interesting scenario" it seem like a good setup for Sawaya as last dealer (i'm just hoping it's not Himeko, would be boring) would be even more interesting if Himeko ends up feeding Sawaya the South4 win to make the bonus 1 happen

    1. Yes, Himeko feeding the South 4 win to the last dealer would be nice too. I like it. But then will Sawaya be able to block Reservation or will she just hand over the victory to Shindouji in a silver platter? Hmm, I wonder.
