Saki 202: Sword of Justice

Saki is back after a long break. I wrote a few chapter's notes which you will find below. The notes are not needed to understand the chapter but provide a bit of additional information and some things that are lost in translation.

Enjoy:

Whoa! Look at those big mountains... there in the background.

Ritz-sensei's blog post 19.05.08

A new post on Ritz's blog was published yesterday. After many months, finally some answers to reader's questions. Actually, Ritz only answered 3 questions but she dropped quite the bombshell. This is what she has to say:

Homosexual characters
I haven't counted but I feel like more than half the characters are homosexual. Including some married characters. And I think about 20% of those are bisexual. More than half the characters are children of woman x woman relationships (created through methods like iPS cells and the like). Also, in this world, same-sex marriage is possible.

Swimsuit models
There are very few girls of school age who perform as swimsuit magazine models. Only Shiori-san and one other character who has not been introduced yet. But there are many who perform as non-swimsuit clothed models. Even so, in their 3rd year, and once the Interhigh and the Kokuma have ended. The readers of bikini model magazines are almost generally female. The photographers and the editorial staff are also all female. But me, I want to marry Tsubakino-san.

Note: Unozawa Shiori is one of Teru's former teammates at Shiraitodai. The Kokuma is a mahjong tournament that takes place in autumn after the Interhigh. Tsubakino Miyuki is one of the Kentani players.

Sumire's socks
Hirose Sumire wears tights. Elementary school Nodoka wears knee-high socks.

Then apparently someone wrote to Ritz asking if all the above is true. Ritz replies:
If you don't believe what I said in the previous post, why would you believe me now if I say, "Yes, it is true"? What I wrote here and what I wrote 2 years ago in the post of December 27th, normally it's all meant to be the completely official scenario. I'm not saying anything extreme.

Note: The post from 2 years ago is the one where Ritz said all characters were virgins, even the mothers and grandmothers.

To summarize, it appears that in the world of Saki, a majority of the population is homosexual. Or at least, this is true for the part of the population who plays mahjong, which is very large since mahjong is a very big deal there. Children are then born mostly from lesbian relationships through artificial methods such as iPS cells (something which is not yet possible in the real world but might be someday). This explains why most women are virgins, even the mothers. Additionally, the majority of consumers of bikini model magazines are women, not men. And those who create those magazines are women too. Such is the world of Saki according to Ritz.
