* Series: Saki
In Summary:
There was far less play in this episode, and a lot more side action. We get to look into the "backstage" lives of the teams as the final match of the tournament is ongoing. Frankly, I think I would have rather seen more actual play than the side action, though it may have been for the best to present the story in this manner, considering how the second round went. Unfortunately for Mako, that round did not go well for her, as the presence of the complete beginner Kaori Senou of Tsuruga Academy ruins her normal style of play, which is to act based upon the normal behavior of more seasoned players. It looks like Hisa is going to have a lot of hard work to try to stop Kiyosumi's dream of making the National Tournament from being crushed.
