Best Mental Breakdown in Legendary Gambler Tetsuya

So I just revisited watching Tetsuya and I came across this again. How do you break down a cheater? Beat him in his own game and return the favor 10 times. Some mahjong terms for those who don’t know: Tenhou - Dealer win on the first draw. Counts as a Yakuman. Ryu ii so - All green tiles. Also counts as Yakuman. Yakuman - Limit hand. Highest point hands in riichi mahjong. 48000 points for dealer. Then there was the term tsubame gaeshi (lit. returning swallow). It’s just the cheating method Tetsuya used to get that hand. If you want more mental breakdowns, go watch Akagi. It has even better ones in there.
