Though it might have taken him many years, Kiriyama was finally able to find them. Considering the quirky effort put into throwing together such a scientific party, there is no question that these people are true friends, the genuine variety that we all seek out in the course of our lifetimes. Seeing Rei cry out of sheer happiness was so heartwarming, because for the first time in his life, people cared enough to sincerely celebrate his achievements. His achievement is absolutely impressive, and even though I’ll be supporting Shimada, I wouldn’t be unhappy to see this old codger establishing a remarkable record.
He has such a want of recognition for potentially holding on to his title for ten years, and rightly so. If I had to guess, Yanigahara is driven by a desire to leave behind an enduring legacy. While I reckon that the chief of the shogi association is worried about the board game’s future, I get the feeling that Yanigahara isn’t particularly troubled by such a thought. But given the rapid changes brought about by an increasingly disparate modern age, I have a hard time saying whether shogi might actually be slowly dying. From what I can tell, shogi professionals are greatly respected by society. Like Kiriyama, I was also displeased when the old men expressed dissatisfaction towards such an outcome, and had a difficult time deciding whether their concerns were superficial or warranted.
On the other side of the spectrum, Shimada has slowly worked his way back into relevance following his crushing defeat against Souya, grinding his way to successfully mounting a title challenge against Yanigahara. However, defeating Souya will evidently require much more than mere talent and good fortune.Īlthough Gotou makes poor judgements for himself, he ironically has pretty good insight regarding other people, since he was the only one that predicted how Shimada would quickly bounce back. There’s no doubt that the winds of destiny are lifting him towards higher places. Though a title may not necessarily be on the line, this is a chance for our boy to test his mettle, and see how much further his meteoric rise can last. But I don’t think many people would have expected his fateful encounter with Souya to come so soon. 「陽のあたる場所 / 小さな世界」 ( Hi no Ataru Basho / Chiisana Sekai)Īfter winning the Rookie King Tournament, it seems obvious that the natural progression for Rei Kiriyama would be to start plying his trade against heavier weights.
