I wanna learn this even though it’s gonna be a drag

The hardest part is knowing which piece is which when you can't read the kanji.

ASUMA : The climbing silver. It’s a risky move

I was watching March Comes In Like A Lion. Nice drama anime, but it's set with the main character being a pro Shogi player. You don't need to know anything about Shogi to enjoy it, but I was completely lost during some of the parts. Searched YouTube, and found your vid. TY. Was exactly what I was looking for.

I watched this as someone looking to learn how to teach shogi to beginners. While I was aware of the yakuza games had shogi, I never expected the best English tutorial for the game in general to be for a video game.

Who came here from watching persona 5 hifumi social link

[rainynight]

... I watched 2 videos from the guy you showed. Was going to watch through all of his.
Probably still will.
But this was a nice condensed version that answered so many questions nice and quickly! Thank You!

I've been interested in shogi for a long while, but never found anything to actually learn from. My curiosity was rekindled by the anime "The Ryuo's Work Is Never Done"

[bismael]

I am standing on a burnt field every time I play shougi in Yakuza.

[msakikayo]

Everyone talking about Shikamaru which is still good but we gotta remember Asuma got him into Shogi lmao
