My first one and absolute favorite has entirely anime based reasons, which is my excuse for why it's not one of Shindou and Touya's matches. In episode 62, where Hikaru's gone on his journey to find Sai and plays against Shuuhei, the amateur champion, I have been absolutely in love with this match since the first time I saw it. The entire atmosphere of the match, the music that plays during it, the way Shindou suddenly grows before our eyes, how the go stones fly off his fingers and how, for just a moment he forgets about his desperation to get back to Tokyo to find Sai and just loses himself in entering a deeper level within the game. It's really one of the most breathtaking and aggressive and captivating matches he ever plays, and it breaks my heart when he looks up at the end expecting Sai to be there ;__

I hardly get the chance to fangirl HnG or my love for AkiHika as often as I would like to, so I enjoyed the excuse to do so here. Thank you for the opportunity ^_^
THIS COMMENT MAKES ME SO HAPPY. you've thrown out so much wonderful, insightful stuff here, and given me a bunch to think about. i will be back tomorrow (sleep, why do people need sleep) for a better, non-comatose response. though it still might not get much better than AJSDKFLSJFAKSLJDSA.
plus I love how it shows another instant of Hikaru's growth, that he's taking another step into the world where Touya's waiting for him.
YES, YES, and isn't it so much love that everyone around Shindou is like "Four, that's impossible" and Touya does that and then Shindou almost does that and JDKFJSKLFJA those boys ♥
