Picture indicates 2shanten but if I draw a 3sou or 7sou then by discarding a 6sou or ankan'ing them I should be in tenpai shouldn't I?

They went way overboard with the memes! It is only the first episode and I feel like they already parodied 75% of mahjong mangas, it was honestly too much at once haha. If anyone else spotted other inside jokes, feel free to share

Bingo for the next episode: Touhai - Kirinji - Tetsuhai no Jan

The game says this hand is 1 tile away from tenpai but I just don't see it.

In last round's 15th turn, 1st place decides to hard fold upon picking a 6man by dealing a 8sou, which breaks his tenpai. Folding at this point is understandable. What I don't understand is why he did this with a 8sou upon receiving a 6man. After all, both the 8sou and the 6man were safe against me, and neither was safe against the two other players. There wasn't even any suji for those! So that's my question, why did he discard the 6man and not the 8sou? Was it because the 8sou was safer against the two other players, and if so why?

I realize this is pretty subjective but I'd like your opinions. The character is implying that calling in this situation reduces his chances to win and would have been unthinkable during the Showa period for some reason.

However I don't see anything wrong with that call, to the contrary it looks like the obvious course of action to me.

Aiming for sanshoku does not seem to reduce his shanten, it secures the dora and even unlocks a double sided wait ; he might also trade this double sided wait for junchan if he gets a pair of terminals later, giving him a shot at mangan. And all of that without being forced to discard by a riichi.

On the other hand not calling here would likely mean riichi only on a single wait which sucks...So I really have no idea what Showa players were thinking
