Saki 203: Divine Wind

The vanguards' second half is about to start but first some revelations about the past (and the present?).
Enjoy:
Saki ch203 (Mega)
Saki ch203 (Mediafire)
EDIT: After the comment by Oleg Oshmyan below and reading chapter 200 again, I realized some changes were necessary in page 7 of that chapter. So chapter 200 has been updated.

Just a reminder that the first chapter of MakoMeshi, the new spinoff manga by Mekimeki, has been released. Spectacular Scanlations on Mangadex is doing the translation. Make sure to check it out if you haven't.

  1. Ooh!! More delicious details about the reunion match and where Shinohayu fits in the big picture! Let’s see, those figures look like Yukinaga and Mukunoki, then Oroku from Okinawa? Who are the other three? And is that our pretty little Shino?!

    1. Or more like, who is the next one? …since you can’t actually see the rightmost two.

    2. Also, it seems like there’s something else about Kuro that we haven’t been told yet. What could she do to stop the chūren pōtō? Why? And most importantly, what is this decision that she supposedly made and wasn’t sure about? I went back to look at that hand, but it went past so fast and other than “C’mon, you can stop it right here!” and “I wonder if I can still do it?” that already seemed strange back then, I don’t see anything, certainly no decision-making.

    3. Yukinaga, Mukunoki and Oroku, I agree.
      But I wonder who is the fourth one too.
      Takahashi Chiyoko? (because of the headband)
      Or someone we haven't met yet.
      And seems like Shino will be Saki's last boss (if we ever get to that).

    4. For Kuro, we'll have to wait and see, I guess.

    5. Does Kokaji says she didn't get to play with any of those 6 or just some of them? Because I would expect Akado to be one of those (since she gave some trouble to Kokaji), but depending on the wording it could mean she wasn't among those since they played against each other. Or Akado was just strong, but not enough to be among those top 6.

      Also, calling Yukinaga as the IT company president.

    6. She says she couldn't play against some of them. So she played against some but not all.

      I'm pretty sure Akado is not one of those 6 though. We know Akado was severely defeated by Kokaji. I think Akado won a big hand at some point but that's about it.

      Yukinaga as the IT company president, yeah that could be.

  2. From the sillhoutte, I guess Shino is also joining the Oppai team.

  4. Ok so to answer Oleg's question about Kuro. In the updated version, Akado's thoughts have been changed to "It's ok to stop it here", which is a small but important variation of that line. Even more importantly, the next line comes from Kuro's thoughts (not Akado's). She thinks "I'll stop it!!". This is Kuro's decision!

    It appears that Kuro's ability to stop Chuuren Poutou is only activated whenever she decides to do so. She decided that there (in page 7 of ch200) was the right moment to do it (Akado was thinking the same thing). In the end, it didn't work out (because Yuuki called a tile) so she now wonders if she did the right thing activating her ability.

    Anyway, sorry for the inconvenience. Sometimes it can be difficult to interpret a character's thoughts when the lines are intentionally cryptic. I hope that everything is clear now.

    1. Download or just read? Because you can easily read all chapters on mangadex or dynasty-scans.
      If it's download, I don't have a pack. Maybe I'll make one though.

    2. do you plan to repost Mako food manga in this blog? I honestly will really appreciate all saki-related stuff being consolidated in one place :)

    3. Yes download I prefer having the media since websites have a nasty habit of going offline. Just of your chapters I have everything before your chapters. Thanks for going through with the translations.

      I can put a link to Mangadex like I did above if that's what you mean.

      @Anon
      I'll see about making a pack when the next chapter is released.

      Maybe put all your files in one shared folder on a service that lets you download the whole folder with a single click? (Perhaps one folder per series.) That would let you avoid the need to update the pack with every release. If I understand correctly, Dropbox and Google Drive let you do this, and possibly MEGA too but I’m not sure.
