Zetsubou e no Fuseki

December 13th, 2005Score: N/A

As the fake Akagi is losing, Kawada requests Akagi to play in his place but Akagi refuses, saying he would only play if Osamu plays first. Unaware of the wager, Osamu wins two hands but when he hears about the 32 million bet, he loses his confidence, and then Akagi takes Osamu's place. In the first hand, both Akagi and Urabe ignore their own chances of winning, leading to a tie. Akagi even pays an 8,000 points penalty for concealing his tenpai, stating it will give him the three turns that will decide the match. In the next hand, Akagi declares an open riichi to force Urabe to compromise. When Urabe discards the tile Akagi needs to win, Akagi does not takes it and wants to continue to accumulate more points.
