EPISODE CONTEXT

Coming off Hikaru's shocking, Sai-assisted victory over prodigy Akira Toya in episode one, this episode shifts gears to explore the aftermath — Hikaru's first real steps toward understanding Go on his own terms. It's early-series groundwork, establishing the relationships and motivations that will drive the next seventy-plus episodes. This is where the show begins building the emotional infrastructure for Hikaru's long transformation from reluctant beginner to genuine competitor.
