I’m not sure if anyone else has formally pointed it out yet, but Komaeda’s hand is 1-1-1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-9-9 of the same suit, or junsei chuuren poutou (“pure nine gates”).

The fun fact involved here: It’s probably the single rarest hand in Mahjong. There are other hands worth the same amount of points as this one, and all of them are at least 10,000 times more common! It’s complete probability overkill.

Goddamnit, Komaeda, I’m not sure whether to be angry at the sheer gamble demon magic involved or worried about your future. Was that kind of luck really necessary?

im laughing so hard fuck komaeda got the rarest hand in mahjong while tsumiki fell on her ass playing twister
