As the vanguard match begins, Toki's ability to see one turn ahead puts pressure on Kuro, whose dora-style renders her defense play weak and predictable. Adding riichi with her ability, this enables Toki to dominate the match, and Kuro is left ineffective. With Kuro in tears, Yu steps into the second match motivated to get back the points Kuro lost, while Senriyama hopes to use the information they gathered on her against her.
