Saki 294: Trap & Toki 90: Self-awareness

Saki. Everyone's desperate to win in the last rounds of the final...
 
Toki. Ryuuka has an existential crisis...

  1. I always wonder if Saki's power has different "types"?, I know she's mostly known for her Rinshan Kaihou,

    but I wonder on how she incorporates +/- 0 and her 3 consecutive kans to make the Rinshan or just tsumo?

    I just always remember the anime with Fire(Red)/Water-Moon(Blue) with Koromo, and that pressure with Himematsu, Eisui and Miyamori. It's like she has 2 personalities with that.

    I just wish there are more Saki-focused chapters.

    1. Yes, it would be nice to know more about Saki's abilities. When it's her turn to be dealer, we'll have a few Saki-focused chapters, I guess.

    2. I certainly want to know on how she started her +/-0.
      She mentioned that +/-0 was a product of her family's when they were playing but I kinda want to see/read it,

      And as I remember, Rinshan was taught by Teru. And Teru definitely knows how to use it too, like I want to see more of Miyanaga sisters

    1. Some of that juice she stores in her boobs, I guess.
      It must take time to recharge.

    2. Do you think it possible for saki to stop awai combination of move 3 and 4 the same way she stopped time dandalion in the first half or this time it different?

  3. That's an interesting way to justify Nelly dealing into lots of hands, huh?
    Also, what happened to Awai making an effort to remember Nelly's name? At least she isn't calling her the italian girl anymore... (I wonder if she knows where Georgia is... or tha Maldives, for that matter^^)
    Thanks for the translations.

  4. I can't believe they did that. A player like Nelly would NEVER discard pei that way. She felt something coming from Awai and she knew Awai has already won a yakuman earlier, and now she discards that tile? Unbelievable!

  5. Thanks for the TL!

  6. Is it possible for a player to get yakuman points from just one other player?

    1. Yes, if the player wins by ron.

    2. Do you think it possible for saki to stop awai combination of killer move 3 and 4 just like she stopped time dandalion in the first half or is it going to be more difficult this time?

      Delete
    3. More difficult, I guess.

  7. Are the points on the table correct?

    1. They should be. There hasn't been any correction from Ritz at least.

    2. Then Nelly should have lost 13000 (12000+1000) points at the end of chapter 293. Because if she lost 19000, then Nelly's points should be 194400 not 200400

      Delete
    3. Good point. But Ritz specifically said Awai's statement was wrong. Perhaps Ritz decided to keep Awai's 12000 after all? Or the score in this chapter should be 194400? Who knows?

  8. Nelly is crumbling under pressure.
    Thanks for translations!

  9. Hello Akio, good morning. I just wanted to thank you for all your work over the years. Saki was one of my first introductions to the world of manga and mahjong, and it's also one of my all-time favorite manga.
    I've been reading the manga for 15 years, and you, my friend, do an excellent job. I hope you can read my message.
    Take care and greetings from Mexico.
    P.S.: Who is your favorite character from the entire Saki universe?
    In my case, I've always been a fan of Nodoka from the very beginning (I love her so much)(wife).
