Saki ch186: No-self

This chapter's title is a bit complicated to understand. The original term is 無我 muga, which means "no-self". It can be used to mean a "state of complete self-effacement, free from obstructive thoughts". Even "trance" or "spiritual awakening" aren't too far off. It can also be used to refer to the Buddhist concept of Anattā (non-self). The chapter also contains a reference to Maitreya (a future Buddha). I suggest you look up pictures of sitting statues of the bodhisattva Maitreya to have a clear picture of Kasumi's words in the chapter.

  2. Too much naked Suzu in one chapter lol. Now we know what Kyouko is always thinking when it comes to Suzu.

    Really liked this version of limitless heaven Ryuuka. This is alot better than her zone in the anime. Hopefully Ritz will let Ryuuka to win at least 2 more times before someone(probably Kyouko) shut her down though. I guess we won't be seeing Toki's vision this time.

    2 more chapters I guess unless Ritz wanted to tease us with cliffhanger.
    As usual thanks for the translation!!

    1. Ryuuka will probably win South 3, so there should be at least one bonus round, maybe two. Then Kyouko will win South 4 and extend the match. Then the climax with Himeko's sanbaiman in South 4 Bonus 1. So yeah 2 or 3 more chapters left.

    2. Well for a chance for a 3 way battle in South 4 bonus 1, Kyouko really needs to be the one that shut down Ryuuka twice since she will probably win another 2 minimum mangan hand(would be kinda lame if Ryuuka couldn't). Kyouko will definitely be forced to risk a South 4 bonus 1. Really looking forward to that bonus 1.

    3. Just went and did some calculation... I guess Ryuuka would probably only win 1 more round or only win 2 small hands.

      Current:

      Senriyama - 117800
      Himematsu - 117600
      Shindouji - 103300
      Usuzan - 57300

      If she tsumo 2 huge hands it's impossible for Himeko to get a tsumo victory I guess. Will just stop here and enjoy what Ritz throw at us then.

  5. Thank you so much for the translation!

    I can't wait for this match to end, because I'm so hyped for the finals!

    I wanted Himematsu as 5th place but I think it will be Senriyama instead (not a huge fan of them, maybe I should read the Toki spin-off) .
