!!Season 2: National Tournament Side BB Quarterfinals




!!National Tournament Finals
* Despite having an injured arm that causes increasingly intense pain every time Hisa moves it, Hisa [[{{Determinator}} manages to play through the entire sergeant match of the finals]], with only her teammates and a few others noticing that something's wrong.



* Many of the yuri fans are screaming to themselves in joy as the author confirms that [[https://twitter.com/hannover03/status/1126074237280612352 over half of the characters are gay and many of them were born from same-sex IPS cells breeding]], which means that the manga's universe has many queer characters in it.

Furthermore, it is later revealed that Hisa HasTwoMommies, although said marriage ended in divorce.

* Fukuji wins her match in the Nagano finals and what makes it awesome is how she does it. [[spoiler: Controlling the flow to prop up Yuuki in order to weaken Jun. With the power of her right eye, she negates Jun's ability to sense the flow of other players too. As the commentators pointed out, the second half of the match ended in a one-sided wipe out.]]
** Just for comparison, she won about 7 or 8 hands in a row, a feat that is only matched or exceeded by Teru Miyanaga (whose ability revolves around serial winning) as well as [[spoiler: the combination of Yuuki's East Round dominance and Hisa's bad luck bets.]] While other players have won more points than her in less hands, the sheer dominance she displayed was a record unbeaten for almost a decade of real-life time.
* Kana gets several of these, namely when [[spoiler:she gets a Yakuman hand earlier than she expected and passes it up solely because it interferes with her gameplan of getting 30 exhaustive draws in a row and one direct yakuman in order to win. ''And she seriously believes she can do it.'']]

*Yuki's level up between the Regional finals and national qualifiers is amazing to watch. Not only is she considered THE player to watch even when Jindai Komaki (one of the only named national level monsters in season 1) is playing (granted they know to only watch her in the east round), she absolutely dominates her match UNTIL Jindai gets possessed by a god to defeat her.

!!Season 1: Nagano qualifiers
* The discovery that Saki can ''deliberately'' keep her score in ±0 in a game of mahjong. As Yuuki says, mahjong is a game that is mostly luck-based, with even professional players have an average of 30% chance of winning. A ±0 score is basically breaking even, something that is explicitly stated to be harder than actually winning. Saki does this ''all the time'' and Hisa attributes this to both incredible luck and incredible skill.
* Saki again being roped into playing mahjong with the Kiyosumi Mahjong club in order to see whether or not she can still keep a ±0 score against people who already know how she plays. Nodoka decides to take the game seriously with the intent of proving that it is impossible to deliberately maintain a ±0 score (she tried doing it online, but couldn't even do it once). She declares Riichi[[note]] a player can bet 1,000 points if he/she is one tile away from winning, which then forces the player to deal all subsequent drawn tiles unless it is the winning tile[[/note]], putting extra points on the table. Thus the only way for Saki to maintain a ±0 is to win via a very specific hand (70 fu 2 han). Cue Saki ''winning via that specific hand.''
