Another goban in a video game - this time GHOST OF TSUSHIMA

The two characters never mention the goban, it’s just in the background while they have some tense dialogue before a battle.

Are we all going to pretend the live-action version of Hikaru no Go doesn’t exist?

defates is quite an interesting typo.

  1. It’s probably a typo for defeats, but
  2. It also resembles deflates, as in deflate the ego, a phrase meaning to humble, ie. to make someone more humble by defeating or debasing them, and
  3. It looks like a non-existent verb “defate”, which could be interpreted as “to prevent someone from achieving their supposed manifest fate”.

BTW in Italy we use the pseudo English term “zapping” for channel hopping. That’s it.

Look at that board!
It’s round and with pockets.
It’s the first time I see one like this.

same as with characters from Hikaru no Go, there is also a lot of Go fan art with her
But this anime is not about Go, I’m afraid to start to watch it, there are hundreds of episodes, I guess there are more Go scenes, but % is small
