This is the first appearance of Fujishiro Nanami in any work of the Saki franchise but her name has been around for a very long time.
- Nanami's name first appeared in episode 12 of the Achiga-hen anime. Around the 2-minute mark, Sera is browsing through a list of Senriyama players. Nanami is at the top of the list with an incredibly high rating of 2629. She also has the best results of the practice matches (Sera is 4th, Ryuuka is 13th). So when Toki and the others were still 1st years, Fujishiro Nanami (a 3rd year) was Senriyama's super ace.
- Later, in chapter 156 of Saki, Hayari and Kainou are talking about the time Kainou defeated Teru at the individual final of the Interhigh two years before. However, Kainou points out that Teru was tired after facing Fujishiro Nanami in the previous match.
After all these years, who would have thought Nanami would finally make her appearance in a chapter of Toki. And not just a cameo but a real character with her own ability (apparently).
Wowow nice catch, I only found out the name was mentioned in the manga, but to think it briefly appeared in the anime as well. Woah I just love series with these kind of small hints putting here and there. Showing how much the author had planned ahead, NICEEE.
Your research and knowledge of even the smallest details is impressive as always.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chapters.
I'm glad you liked it.
DeleteOh, I knew that name was familiar. Thanks for the reminder and the translations.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I thought some people would recognize the name but may not know exactly where she was mentioned.
