Playing under special scoring rules, Saki plays the next game while trying to keep her plus/minus zero score and winning at the same time, but cannot do both with the special rules. However, when the special rules are removed, Saki ended up winning the game, therefore disallowing her from keeping the zero score. Nodoka is dejected after losing since before Saki told her that she hated mahjong and despite that won, but Saki tells her that playing with her was fun. Saki thinks about what Nodoka said, and even tells her father that she wants to one day play again with her mother and sister like they used to before they left to be professional mahjong players. The next day, Saki joins the club, saying that she wants to play more and win against Nodoka.
Bien que Saki n’ait jamais gagné, Hisa propose une partie spéciale pour tester le vrai potentiel et révéler les talents cachés de Saki. Celle-ci, dans une incroyable performance, dépasse toutes les attentes de Hisa. Mais est-ce trop pour Nodoka ?
勝つよりも難しい離れ業を成し遂げた咲に、ある「提案」をする久。それは、咲の潜在能力を確かめるための対局だった。久の予想は的中し、見事に実力を発揮する咲。しかし、それを見た和の心には一つの感情が湧き起こるのだった。
Hisashi le hace una cierta "sugerencia" a Saki, quien ha logrado una hazaña que es más difícil que ganar. Fue un juego para confirmar el potencial de Saki. Su expectativa es correcta y Saki demuestra sus habilidades. Sin embargo, cuando lo vi, un sentimiento surgió en mi corazón.
Nonostante Saki non abbia mai vinto, Hisa propone una serie di partite per far emergere il vero potenziale di Saki e la sua abilità speciale. Il risultato lascia tutti a bocca aperta. Però Nodoka...
麻将社社长竹井久激励小咲要她不再以正负0分为目标，而是先一开始设定自己1000分再以获胜为目标，结果原本一直落败的小咲在最后一局胡了役满的牌甚至超越了一路领先的小和，让小和无法接受哭着离开了……
