God of Mahjong?

[E.P.D. Gaffney]

First thing we did as Saejima was mahjong, and now we're challenged by someone that calls himself the 'God of Mahjong'. His name is Sakuragi Shogo if I remember right. I can't find anything about him on the internet, though. I'd love to beat him, but so far, even when he appears to play like a normal person, he'll eventually tsumo with a hand that makes it almost impossible to catch him. Hope I can get him soon.

huh that's weird, did you play a lot of mahjong or something? I never played it with Saejima. it reminds me that in this game if you win a lot at cho-han, you can take the dealer lady on a date (only with Kiryu). and the more you win the more desperate she gets, pretty fun.

Yeah, we made ¥700,000 with mahjong at the start of Saejima's game, and then this happened. I can't tell if he cheats or not. He said everyone thinks he cheats but that he's actually just that good. So I thought after losing, something would happen, but it hasn't. And even more surprising, there's no record of him on the internet apart from a couple brief comments in some mahjong forums.

I didn't get into cho-han as much but that sounds funny. Actually, don't think we're at any point where Kiryu can play cho-han in Y5 yet as I don't think it's in Nagasugai and we're still with Saejima.

Wait, you been playing mahjong at the first chapter on Kamurocho with that amount of money? You should've spent your entire yen on gold plates and stored all of them into the phone booth before you progress the chapter (all your inventory and money will be gone) and sell them later.

Yeah...about that...

Well, at least it didn't take us that long to get there. Just have to do it again later. We apparently retained our 200K mahjong sticks, so at least there's that.

Found another one in Sotenbori, called Takachiho, nickname Naniwasienne, if I remember the name right. This one was for lower stakes but still a hefty amount and we managed to win it. Nothing special happened and it's repeatable. Probably no different in Kaumrocho if we manage to beat the man. And once again, no record of this at all on the internet. Very confusing. It's not as if we're the only people in the world that play mahjong in these games.

[E.P.D. Gaffney]

Well, I don't know what to make of it but I think the guy cheats, and yet at least if you beat him using the Lucky Tile, nothing really happens. You get a massive amount of money and he tells you to come back whenever you want.

What's weird is the one in Sotenbori didn't appear to cheat and basically became the source of all funding in that city, as we won more or less every game. By contrast, the one in Kamurocho simply seems unbeatable without cheats, though pays a *lot* more.

All right, this is probably the last I'll update this. So far it doesn't seem to be very interesting to most people, but maybe someone will eventually find it useful. Anyway:

A short while ago, my girlfriend beat the God of Mahjong and she did not cheat. This is the only time we've won legitimately out of a good twenty attempts over the past few weeks. I still think he does 'cheat', but at least it is possible to win. As predicted, nothing special happened apart from a couple million yen.

Go try and date the cho-han dealer as Kiryu, she takes you gambling apparently.

I'm guessing you played as Saejima for the god of mahjong. I wonder if Akiyama or Shinada gets any weird stuff like that.

This seems to happen as long as you play enough mahjong and play well, I think. The God of Mahjong turned up for Saejima at the beginning of his section and now pretends whoever we're playing as is Saejima, so I don't think it matters who you are at all.

date with cho han dealer needs to complete the game once?

[Legato Bluesummers]

I'm not sure, I think you just have to win a crap ton of money. She started flirting with me really hard after I won like 25k in one sitting. From what I remember, you have to win big like 3 separate times and then she'll ask you to go out with her. i don't think there's any other requirement other than being Kiryu.

I bowled a 235 at the northern lanes as Saejima and a guy showed up asking you to be his rival. Reminds me I never got around to inviting him to bowl to see if it was anymore involved than just being a tougher opponent you can compete against. I'll check that later once I reach the final chapters.

[E.P.D. Gaffney]

They packed so much into 5. It's fantastic.

[Nordom]

I wonder if everyone has a bowling rival, just did a lousy 181 with kiryu in kamurocho and picked up a challenge from a lady named mach-ko.

Edit: yeah they are just opponents you can bowl against, I am guessing it's for those who don't want to go through the hassle of completing hostesses to get some opposition.
