The Japanese word for 'fate' is made of the kanji for 'life' and 'luck'. Life's luck. Given that the concept of luck plays an important role in the chapter, this is clearly intentional.
If you look at the point difference at the end of the chapter, the situation is somewhat similar to the Nagano final. If you look at the rest of the game, then the biggest chance of winning is Nelly and the smallest is Shizuno. Especially if in the next chapters Nelly gets further away and is difficult for other players to catch. I hope in the next chapter Saki, Awai or Shizuno can steal a fairly large point from Nelly. This seems impossible in Nelly's game.
For reference, let me write the current scores here: 1st Rinkai (162800), 2nd Kiyosumi (97100), 3rd Shiraitodai (95500), 4th Achiga (44600). Awai, Shizu and Saki still have their dealerships left.
If Awai had pushed, the hand would have been Riichi Ippatsu Pinfu Dora 4 for 18000 points. So she did lose fewer points. I wonder what she noticed at the end? Thanks for the translation.

shizuno ability is to weaken or nullified others power, but cannot help her in terms of winning big
ReplyDeleteOn page 11 doesn't Saki have 1 fewer discard than everyone else? As far as I can tell no one's called or anything
ReplyDeleteYes, that seems to be a mistake.

I wonder too. Maybe that Nelly would have won less points total? Or maybe something about her own hand?
DeleteMaybe because if she continued to push forward she would still lose 12 000 points, but the point difference with the top would be less.
Deletemaybe about nelly's big point hand? if it was, maybe saki and shizuno noticed it too.
DeleteThank you!
ReplyDeleteThanks for translations!
ReplyDeleteif 'luck' moves from nelly to saki, is it possible for saki to get as many points as nelly?
