The score in the last page was wrong (it said 12000) so it has been corrected in the translation. Ritz also noticed and made a brief post about it so there is no doubt.
Switching the table with that of another universe... That's quite a thing to say. Does that confirm the validity of the many worlds interpretation of quantum physics in the Saki universe? Thanks for the translation.
This power is a bit narrow. It's only useful against people who have powers that depend on circumstances. Which is exactly what Himeko had in semifinals and Awai really should have used it to prevent her counted yakuman, huh? Anyway, it doesn't really look useful against Shizuno or Saki (unless she does some +/- 0 shenanigans, but it doesn't seem the case here)
Thanks for the chapter. So Nelly managed a baiman s1-2 with regular luck? Maybe she could've noticed something was off when she couldn't achieve her sanbaiman.
Either let Awai run wild to balance out the score until she runs out of steam, or in Nelly's case defend harder. She still has the luxury of a 90000 lead while Achiga has 16000 points and has a chance of getting busted.
If we assume Awai's quantum universes can play around with the wall heavily, Shizu can probably still have an advantage of finding key tiles to draw. Similarly Saki might know the rinshan tile, but getting the kan tiles is a challenge.
Noticed on page 3 the score board assumes a tsumo sanbaiman S1-3 from Saki. So perhaps the hand discussion in 292 was correct and it really was 12 han.
Wow, nice catch. Too bad we couldn't see the whole hand since there's two possibilities for it (riichi with 2-3 extra doras, or no riichi and 4 extra doras from the 9man kan).
It seems to me that Awai's move replaces the current reality with an alternate reality where her opponents don't have their abilities or powerups active. For example, she replaced Nelly in her "boosted luck" state with a regular Nelly with regular luck (only temporarily).
I've no idea how anyone can counter this but I imagine she can't do it very often so maybe they don't need to.
it just my guess but maybe that killer move is for powers with a limited super mode So it would stop players like Cold Touka by switching to a version of the table with regular Touka, but it won't impact someone like Toki or Toyone whose powers are always available. if this is how her power realy goes do you think saki and shizu will have a chance since their rinshan and wall powers are not limited?
There's also the possible backfire of an alternate Awai exchanging her bad table with the one from our universe, which is a funny thing to think about. How much do the two universes need to overlap? Do they need the same players or could Awai replace the table with one from a reality in which she doesn't play? So many possibilities.
Is this the first time we heard the name of Teru's "dynamo" power? It fits with the illumination theme (especially as it's powering up the nine lanterns.)

ReplyDeleteThanks for the translation.
Seems like its not just the table she's been switching with another universe.
DeleteDo you think there is some way to counter that killer move of her somehow!

ReplyDeleteThanks for the chapter.
ReplyDeleteAwai has become a strategist. In semi-finals she was more straight forward with her playstyle.
Can you think of some way they can somehow counter that killer move of hers?
DeleteEither let Awai run wild to balance out the score until she runs out of steam, or in Nelly's case defend harder. She still has the luxury of a 90000 lead while Achiga has 16000 points and has a chance of getting busted.

the counter to it is that in "all realitiies", you will win the hand. you just have to be so strong that there is no reality where you won't win.

DeleteHow many points did Achiga have before South 2? Was it 24,300 or not? Was 18,000 the total points Awai earned against the other three players?
ReplyDeleteAchiga had 16,000 points before South 2. The 24,300 is before Saki's win from last chapter is counted. Awai earned 18,000 from Nelly.
DeleteAh but, Saki's score from last chapter may be wrong. Then Achiga had 18,000 before South 2.
DeleteCan you explain to me please what exactly awai 7 and last killer move do exactly and how saki or shizu can counter it?
DeleteIt seems to me that Awai's move replaces the current reality with an alternate reality where her opponents don't have their abilities or powerups active. For example, she replaced Nelly in her "boosted luck" state with a regular Nelly with regular luck (only temporarily).

I'm sure Saki and Shizu will find some way to get around it if it comes to that.
DeleteI think they have chance to counter Awai move#7

DeleteFrom Saki's words, it seemed like she realized something but wasn't sure.
ReplyDeleteThank you!

The name dynamo has been associated with Teru before but this might be the first time it officially appears in the manga.
DeleteSure, just switch universes man. I love this manga, I love Awai. This match has been hella fun and it's just keeps on giving.
ReplyDeleteThanks for translations!
