**Tsuyoshi un no Iryoku** (剛運の威力 *The Power of Brute Luck*) is the twenty-third episode of Akagi - Yami ni Oritatta Tensai (series) anime adaptation, Touhai Densetsu Akagi - Yami ni Maiorita Tensai

## Synopsis

Akagi has lost 1,100 ccs of blood as the next Han-Chan begins. Washizu feels as if killing Akagi will be a good end to his reign over Japan, and that winning through sheer skill will show his superiority. Although he is looking forward to a comeback, Akagi gets a Tsumo Haneman on the first round through simple efficient discards. The flow of the game is clearly in his favor, and Washizu's subordinate considers how rough the game will be, with Akagi clearly showing superior skill, and now having the luck on his side. Something big will need to happen or Washizu will lose the match, meaning he cannot waste his dealer turn on the second round, or he will likely never recover. Even so, Akagi is favored by the flow more due to his last win, at least it seems that way, however Washizu gets a decent hand from the start through his own sheer luck. Though this luck soon dwindles, as each draw cheapens his hand more and more. Before declaring riichi, Washizu allows Suzuki to Kan, in case of any more Dora. The new Dora indicator is the 1-Sou, Washizu, housing three of the 2-Sou, now has Dora 3, a shocking uptick of luck on his front. Much to his subordinates surprise, even after his riichi, Washizu doesn't have Suzuki deal in, planning to sew doubt into Akagi's mind, by making the second discard pile seem unreliable, and make the 1-Pin Suzuki has, seem safe to Akagi, who is currently holding the 1 and 3-Pin, a meld he likely would get rid of as the game progresses, considering Suzuki holds three of the 2-Pins he'd need to complete it, and the single wait of the 2-Pin is generally poor. However, Akagi avoids certain death, and keeps his 1-Pin another turn, implying he's figured the trick out, although the long-term effects of Washizu's ploy make him feel it is worth it nonetheless. As Washizu draws his next tile, everyone in the room tenses, except Akagi, his second draw passes with similar results. After this turn, Washizu reassures Suzuki that both Yasuoka and Akagi are far enough from tenpai, that they have time to wait and attempt for a Tsumo or direct hit. Akagi draws a second 3-Pin, but again refuses to discard the 1-Pin. Washizu begins to draw again. The question remains, will it be Akagi's death sentence?

Washizu yearns for Akagi to show his fear, and again Akagi draws a useful tile, the 4-Pin. With no more 2-Pins to use, Akagi again has no reason to keep the fateful 1-Pin in his hand, however, despite Washizu's deepest hopes, Akagi again refuses to discard the tile, as if he knows Washizu's hand.
