recap: Kuro discarded a dora in the semifinal.
When Kuro does this, she needs to play a lot of mahjong to revive her dora gathering powers.
This is what's happening between the semi and the final.
Ryan Ross
With great success apparently.
Eli Nelson
another practice win for Kuro
Benjamin Murphy
Kuro's dora power is regenerating faster.

MakoMeshi chapter 3 is also out, featuring Saki.
Already dumped:
Julian Harris
That's a disgusting powerup.
Carter Kelly
The last Toki chapter TL is out, but was not dumped.
So let's do it now.
Juan King
Ryuuka in Angry Mode
Jackson Gonzalez
Mama Matsumi would be proud.
Jaxson Phillips
Ryuuka generating doki doki in her opponents.
Nathaniel Green
Ryuuka is unfazed by mega cute doki doki Toki.
Luke Peterson
Yeah. The ability to make others draw a dora combined with her power to attract dora makes for a ridiculously powerful ability. She was originally weaker than Toki but now she's basically at the level of super monster like Saki and Teru. It's a massive asspull.
With this ability should could have stopped Teru's Chuuren Poutou.. Not even Saki can stop it but Kuro can.
Wyatt Flores
Everybody except Ryuuka has declared riichi.
Adrian Turner
Ryuuka is in control. Everyone else is playing Russian roulette.
Alexander Brooks
Look at all those souzu.
Levi Rodriguez

Brody White

It's obvious that Ryuuka will win the hand.
The only question: ron or tsumo?
Xavier Howard
Who knows if she can really stop Teru's 9 gates, Shizu wasn't able to stop Himeko's wifi.
Justin Evans
Answer: tsumo
Aiden Reed
Kuro was confident she could stop it. The only reason she didn't is that her turn was skipped due to Yuki's pon.
Hudson Moore
Ryuuissou is the big green tile yakuman.
Caleb Taylor
These kids may have never seen a yakuman before.
Michael Sanchez
Toki is excited.
But the game is not over.
John Cook
Ryuuka is unmoved.
Gavin Watson
Ryuuka's choice:
(1) Dominate, but no tanoshii
(2) Tanoshii, but open to suffering
Ayden Foster
Ryuuka chooses hate mode.
Ethan Richardson
Mahjong is serious business.
Ayden Lopez
Self-doubt arises
Sebastian Taylor
What path will Ryuuka choose?
Nathan Bailey
The path leading to fifth place.
End Chapter 33; next chapter August 24 (+ Shinohayu)
Parker Scott
Toki spinoff is getting good. The drama is okay when intertwined with mahjong.
Adam Fisher
Irony: Ryuuka, by choosing weakness for herself, causes Toki to die in the end anyway.
Kevin Collins
All the different subplots of the spinoffs are converging on something amazing.
I just want to live to see it.
Christopher Young

Nicholas Wright
>Auto yaku.
>Fast.
>High score.
>Dora assassin.
Yeah, that is broken.
Luis Young
Seriously, what the fuck? How overpowered are they going to retcon Ryuuka? Apparently at 10 she already was a yakuman machine with perfect knowledge of the wall. Yet somehow she doesn't absolutely annihilate all her opponents in the Interhigh.
I'm also salty about her getting Ryuiisou before Mako.
Blake Morris
Yakumans don't mean anything anymore.
Between the 4 series, I think we're averaging at least 2 yakumans per month.
Jacob Wood
>I'm also salty about her getting Ryuiisou before Mako.
Well technically the whole reason we know that she likes the ryuuiisou is because Kaori got it with her beginner's luck during the joint training camp so it's not the first ryuuiisou in the series.
Cooper Martin
How does Ritz keep getting away with it?
Leo White
Get fucked.
James Gutierrez
Why does Ritz have such a massive hard on for Achiga anyway? They're like the most boring team out there.
Samuel Fisher
Jaxon Jackson
Hey, remember that user who claimed Ryuuka's predator vision wouldn't be real?
Mason Robinson
So wait, is Kuro just Sumire without a downside now?
Elijah Gutierrez
No him but you've gotta admit is a pretty shitty retcon.
Colton Johnson
She's kinda like Shino who can both draw wind tiles but also make other players draw them.
Levi Collins
Oh I don't deny that at all, it's fucking terrible.
Jace Sullivan
Achiga has mini-Ritz.
Luke Wilson
Tyler Perez
Let's hope that Kuro's new main character-ish power also comes with a main character-ish personality adjustment.
Tyler Cruz

Angel Sanders
Cute.
Luke Foster
Teru has been ridiculed to such a massive extent now, she doesn't feel half as threatening.
You're ruining the manga. Ritz. Can't you see it?
Elijah Long
A whole chapter just to justify this fucking asspull of a powerup.
Even last chapter with Satoha was retarded. She kept getting huge hands out of nowhere and with little to no setup. Why wasn't she playing like she did in the previous rounds.
Brayden White
>yakuman
AAAAAAA PUTAAAAAAAAAAA
Asher Cook

Somebody show Ritz how actual skirts work. This has gone on long enough.
Oliver Rodriguez
>long enough
They're not long enough, that's the whole problem.
Zachary Hall
I know it makes for a great scene, but is the maintenance on public works really that shitty in nipland? Not even a roof on those poles, what's the point of them anymore? Just tear them down, they're a hazard. Tetanus is a real thing.
Carter Fisher
Here's maybe an older photo from a different angle. Somebody appears to have placed car seats by their own volition.
Daniel Russell
Ritz is just taking the world witches universe crossover meme to it's logical conclusion. They're belts.
Jason Wood
At least in Japan they make an effort to have seating and shelters at bus stops.
In many US cities, the bus stops are just a sign, with no shelter, seating, or even a timetable.
Jayden Ward
Well yeah, because nobody would wait for a bus in the US. They'd just call uber or something.
Nathaniel Sanders
/e/ thread fell off. Anything post worthy since then?
Juan Miller
>Fujicolor
Wow, that bench is old.
Xavier Nguyen
From what I gather it's a bus stop in bumfuck Nara with only two or four busses passing by on workdays, so yeah I don't think it gets much investments.
Isaiah Jenkins
Just some new stuff from the usual pixiv artist:

What will happen next?
Nolan Foster

Luis Flores
I wonder if Ritz personally visits these bumfuck places.
Jace Evans
Ryuuka had a hidden superpower that she didn't use in the semi, but used for 5th place.
Makes no sense.
Christopher Ramirez
It's not a hidden super power. It's just a retcon.
Joseph Moore
driving thru
Easton Mitchell
>green superpower
>red pendant
Maybe they should retcon the ruby to an emerald.
Connor Foster
I mean it was sort of in the anime. Ritz probably had the idea long ago but was too pressed in pages for the semi to put it in.
Landon Thompson
I don't think so. I think it's more likely the anime staff created because it didn't make sense Ryuuka was so weak on her own. Then Ritz liked it and retconed the manga to match the anime.
Dylan Hill
If skirts are becoming belts + nopan (), doesn't that make seifuku swimsuits less lewd than actual seifuku?
Justin Lee

>9 wins a row terut ime

Having three super broken monsters in team, only slightly balanced by one just okay and one literally male fisher, Achiga has their work cut out for them.
Besides, Kuros power took too long to show up, the match is almost over.
Adam Martin
>Having three super broken monsters in team
You're kidding right? Shiraitodai are a bunch of jobbers. The only strong player other than Teru is Awai but she's weak psychologically, being so overconfident and all. Everyone else sucks balls.
Achiga is carried by Ritz's asspulls so you never know when they're gonna come up with some nonsensical power-up. All in all, it's actually very likely Achiga's gonna win the nationals. Saki winning doesn't do shit for her goal of reconnecting with Teru anyway.
Sebastian Morgan
Saki is going to +/- 0 everyone in the final match. Nodokas asspull is what will win or lose the game.
Camden Garcia
I'm pretty sure Nodoka is gonna be some sort of powerup, but I doubt it's gonna be something game-breaking like Kuro's.
David Russell
Her opponents are also like 1/10th of the level of Kuro.
Parker Stewart
Doesn't change the fact that Kuro's powerup is all kind of bullshit. She was originally weaker than fucking Toki. Now she's on the level of super monsters.
And knowing Ritz's hard on for Achiga, I'm sure Shizu has something new as well.
Nathaniel Perez
Not yet, hamster.
Tyler Morgan
I mean it was always a broken ability, and Toki is probably on par with Satoha and Tacos anyway. But then again, power level discussions in Ritzverse is pretty futile.
Gavin Hall
>power level discussions in Ritzverse is pretty futile
Even then, Achiga always get the most ridiculous and asspullish power-ups. It's like she forgot Kyosumi are supposed to the main characters.
Parker Collins
C'mon we just saw Tacos pull two tenhous.
Justin Sanders
But that's not even an actual powerup. It's just temporary and was only possible thanks Hisa's strategy and better understanding of how Yuuki's ability work.
Kuro's thing is a total asspull in comparison.
Joshua Ramirez
Subtract 96k from her score (And add 32k back to each of the other three) and see just what those did for her
Jacob Jackson
If this rate of yakumans continues throughout the finals, Ritz is going to burn out before getting to Nodoka. Not that it matters, Hisa-Ako slutting match isn't going to happen until 202x and we're already seeing the fires starting to burn. Just ask Kyoanus for references.
Jonathan Roberts
I don't think it was implied in training that Yuuki regularly got tenhous when she "peaked". Maybe tenhous is not a power up in terms on new ability but it's a step up from what we have seen from her being just fast at east. Arguably this Kuro being able to control dora more is a step up from her regular dragon lord stuff as well.
I really don't feel like defending Ritz' choices so I'll stop now.
Ryan Walker
Is it Hajime time already?
Nolan Cox
>I don't think it was implied in training that Yuuki regularly got tenhous when she "peaked".
There's Yuuki's peak combined with Hisa's "bad wait" power. Since the idea was Hisa's and it was a gamble for her, her power gave a boost to Yuuki's.
To me that makes more senses than Kuro getting massively more powerful on her own just for discarding a dora. Toki almost killed herself and her powerup was rather modest in comparison.
Matthew Williams
>a
>fucking
>hamster
Oliver Martin
The cutest hamster.
Lucas Gonzalez
I am still mad. Seriously.
Jacob Sanders
Just wait until Achiga wins the nationals.
Anthony Morales
All of this is making me appreciate Hisa ever more. She's fighting a whole campaign as Kiyosumi's coach against Haxrue and Rinkai's coach while being an active player.
Nolan Howard
The remaining twelve Saki fans will be so mad.
Christopher Morales
What I find silly about Kuro's powerup isn't inherently giving others a dora, it's that she's now psychic about it
Jaxson Parker
And it's not just that. Before she just attracted dora but she had to form her hand on her own. Now Harue noticed her hand forms on its own (like automatic hand). And on top of that she can also draw the specific dora she wants.
Together with the ability to make others draw a dora, it's a super massive power-up.
Lincoln Adams
Don't forget apparently Yuu can use it too.
Connor Ward
>Pucelle
There's nothing to appreciate; It's all just been ass-pull power-ups in the Nationals; Remember in our world it's been 10 years but in the Sakiverse it's been like 2 months.
Nicholas Martinez
Yuu getting RED doras is not new.
Austin Smith
How much do I have to pay Ritz for her to officially turn Ako into a prostitute?
Julian Lewis
Fucking achigas I know they have your self insert, Ritz, but you can't make them all asspullers like this. Teru and Satoha are supossed to be strong, Yuki too for this match only, but Kuro just getting a counted yakuman ron? Did Ritz fucking forgot Matsumi and Yukiko didn't even get yakumans with their one match superpower and she gives this to fucking Kuro?
Jason Morales
Awaii double riichi throw away any defense & she needs half of the wall emptied to win haneman.
Currently, even with KAwaii's -5 debuff, Kuro can just draws 5 doras & win, don't even start with ron-dora.
Christian Perry
Remember when Kuro hitting Teru for 16k needed her to get rid of a part of herself and Toki to fucking die?
Michael Martinez
And Toki's power-up after fucking died was total shit compared to Kuro's.

RIIIIIITZZ!
Kevin Thompson
Thanks to the hit (the fourth yakuman in this game), Yuuki is first again, but the points are more leveled now. They should be:
Yuuki: 122,700 (+22,700)
Teru: 111,300 (+11,300)
Satoha: 100,800 (+800)
Kuro: 65200 (-34,800)
Next chapter: Yuuki dealer in South 1 - the lead will not last.
Nathan Williams
>Matsumi
Who?
Isn't that Yuu/Kuro's surname?
Justin Jones
I wonder if Haxrue was able to deduce Hisa optimizing Taco's calls to climax at the finals.
Jose Lopez
Kuro's new assp-, development will put everyone on alert, I don't think anyone will dare to declare riichi after this.
Oliver Howard
Wonderful. Another retarded and broken powerup for Achiga. Just what I wanted.
Satoha is the only one who hasn't flexed yet with something crazy this match right? Can we please go full on Yakuza Mahjong Batman mode for her already and have her shank the people on the table?
Angel Peterson
She won a couple of baiman last chapter. Not much fanfare or development before it though. I dunno, Ritz has been really iffy lately with the manga. During the semis against Satoha a century ago, much of the narrative around her match was all the other players being scared shitless of her and navigating around her. We see the mind games as the other players try to guess what she's playing at. But now Satoha is just shitting out those big hands out of nowhere too.
Camden Miller
Don't worry, with Mako's upgrade to MC status, she'll make the Sergeants Match super interesting! No asspulls required. Just creativity and mind games.
Joshua Ramirez
You know, I don't really mind Mahjong Superpowers as long as they have creative usage and offers interesting if not silly matches. They were used quite well in the Nagano Finals, Kiyosumi Quarterfinals and even the Achiga semifinals Vanguard match.
But now, they're just blasting big dick hands at each other without much buildup. Matches have been reduced to a competition of who can throw the biggest Mahjong Hadoken at each other. I've sadly lost interest at the Vanguard Match now, but I'm actually unironically looking forward to the Sergeant Match the most now.
Sumire and Yuu have very situational powers and I don't really see how they can upgrade it to silly levels. And Hao still hasn't shown her full capabilities yet. I can think of a lot of creative shit Ritz can do by integrating Chinese/HongKong rules mindsets into the match. The asspull powerlevel for this match is low is what I'm saying.
And there's the matter of Mako having upgraded MC status too so maybe she'll actually do something amazing this time. She's a girl that grew up with normal peron Mahjong. Show them the power of mortals Seaweed Queen.
Daniel White
I like mahjong superpowers when they don't take them to their logical conclusion, like with Kuro's shit here. If you start going "she has control over dora", or "she always gets haitei AND she slows her opponents down to get it" or "she can't just get rinshan kaihou whenever she wants, but she can also chain kans together to manipulate the wall" it gets nonsensical. And that's fine if it's the villain, to some extent, like Teru here or the aforementioned haitei loli, but when it's the main character it just gets dumb.
Gabriel Barnes
Miss me yet t/a/noshii?
Samuel Moore
This month's chapter was too short.
With Saki's occasional flashbacks I'm starting to wonder if MakoMeshi will somehow end up being the spinoff that finally gives us more info on the Miyanaga family circumstances.
Also Saki's legs were covered with a blanket in the panel where she woke up, how adorable is that?
Liam Bennett
Mako is unironically best girl/wife/mom. She is too good for everyone in this series.
Ironic, she is best in everything except Mahjong, the one thing that matters in their world the most.
Kevin Russell
you have no idea how, please come back to me.
Ian Scott
You know what they said, if the little sister is weird, so does the big sister.

Zachary Turner
>this match has been going on for five billion years
Is Ritz just hoping to beat Fukumoto at this point?
Isaiah Adams
Nathaniel Rogers
There is an interesting story behind it. In short she was interested in nelly bc she was interested in caucasus related stuff.
So she made up a whole story about her.
Angel Cooper
>a manga about mahjong
Jordan Lewis
>beat Fukumoto
Still a long way to go. Washizu Mahjong literally took 21 years. And in-universe, it just took place within the span of 12 hours or so. The Saki Zencoke has only been going on for around 8 years tops, and in-universe, a week or so has passed.
Nothing will ever beat FKMT. Not unless Ritz creates a Hypersonic World Mahjong arc against the International Lesbian Illuminati.

Problem: copyright issues
Fatalizer was in Blade Comics, which was founded by ex-Enix artists. Blade is now part of IG Port.
Saki is published by Square Enix, so doing a Fatalizer crossover may be a problem.

Pretty sure the original creator can do whatever the fuck she wants.

Only after the rights revert to the author. It takes some years after publication for that to happen.
Fatalizer was published like more than 10 years ago so I'm sure the rights have gone back to Ritz already.
