difenately don't like the bullying....
Liked the games played...
Loads of character devolepment for Akira, like that, but less CD for Hikaru...
I'm with Sai on Hikaru's prejuctice against Akari playing; is a bit much, I think...

Yes - Hikaru saw all the girls playing at the tournament, he really should have figured it out by himself. Good on Sai for correcting him, though!

[onkoona]

It's really upsetting that in this day and age, even if it was in Japan, it takes a 1000 year old ghost, with morals to match, to stand up for gender equality!

Nah...I think Hikaru's reaction is kind of understandable. After all, he's barely out of the girls-have-cooties phase.

[effex]

Yeah, he's... 12? And doesn't seem to know many girls aside from Akari (who has cooties) and his mom (who doesn't count), so. I'm still really fond of Sai for gently correcting him, though!

Yeah, but there's a difference between girls have/Akari has cooties, and girls can't play go...
