第5話: 赤木が南郷に代わって一門策略で市川と対決

As Akagi was late to arrive at the match's location and because it was impossible to postpone the match, Nangou plays on Akagi's place. A rule that states the match will continue until Ichikawa or Nangou/Akagi expend all of their points is set. Nangou wins the first two rounds, using the simplest strategy but Ichikawa soon understands it and adapts his playing, surpassing Nangou. When Nangou is with a hand wherein any tile he discards would make him lose the match Akagi arrives, taking his place and cheating. After equilibrating the match, Akagi starts to provoke Ichikawa; he discards the pin suits as well as Ichikawa do—a situation called Zetsu Ichimon. With this, they must wait for a sou or character tile to be from a tile of a winning hand (tenpai). The match remains equilibrate but Nangou and Ichikawa notice that while winning almost the same number of rounds, Ichikawa is accumulating more points due to Akagi's cheaper hand wins. If it continues Akagi will lose. (Source: Wikipedia)
