Miss King Episode 7

Shogi terrorist

We saw who the papers claimed was the terrorist of the game. Seigo took the rumor head on and claimed responsibility for Asuka’s actions and that backfired a bit resulting in their Angel’s bar getting trashed and Seigo injured. Asuka came back from her first win to find the bar a complete wreck and everybody gone. That made her question herself and she lost the next two games. Kid brother is pleased with himself for rocking the shogi world and is convinced his scandal reveal will kill any hope for a female kishi. He is fed up with the shogi world and relishing the chaos he has brought and wants understanding from his parents as to why he did it. The Angel tells Asuka she does not make people miserable because she plays and tells Asuka to slap Todo with whatever is bothering her and to bring him home. The three decide to push their way through this hell and focus on winning. Asuka dominates the next game but there is conflict because of the ‘attempted murder’ scandal. Here the dad confirms his own children the problem and the rumor false. Todo is suspended from playing indefinitely and Asuka is given green light to complete kishi test. He will play final game with her and retire. He shows very little emotion from being slapped by both his children quite publicly through shogi world. Stepmom shows up with pages missing from his book telling of his first family. There is no telling how that bomb is going to rest with Asuka. Stepmom always goes for what she sees as best move.😝 Todo is pleased with how things are falling into place and ready to see daughter kick father’s ass. The stepmom is a piece of work, even more so than the father. He reveals his jealousy of his daughter’s talent and love for his first family and she kept that truth from everybody. I am curious how this fallout will effect both Asuka and Yuna. What role are they going to allow women in shogi? When Yuna sees the pettiness and level her fiancé will sink to in the game world she loves, is she really going to stay with him? He has proven he has no respect for her, the game or his parents. I would really like to see an alliance with Asuka and Yuna with them tossing the petty, jealous men in their lives aside. I enjoyed this episode and hope they finish this drama well.
