Let's Five! 2013 Edition

It's May 5th, which can mean only one thing... Cinco de Mayo? Pfft! Children's Day? Bah! Happy HikaGo Day, everyone!

Suggested by Hotta Yumi herself and first executed by Aja, HikaGo Day is an opportunity for us to roll around in our feels and remember why we love this series so much.

Five HikaGo events that occurred on or around May 5th:

  1. In 1829, Kuwabara Torajirou (Hon'inbou Shuusaku) was born (according to the old lunar calendar that was in use during his lifetime)
  2. In 1999, it was about this time that Akari caught Mitani drawing in the correct answer to the tsumego on the Haze go club's recruitment poster
  3. In 2000, Hikaru had just been promoted to 16th in insei group 1, barely in time to participate in the Wakajishi tournament
  4. In 2001, Sai disappeared and Hikaru began his quest to find him again
  5. In 2002, Hikaru and the rest of Team Japan faced Ko Yeongha and the rest of Team Korea in the Hokuto Cup

Five ways you can celebrate Hikaru no Go:

  1. Sign up to participate in the epic manga reread that will be going on all through the year!
  2. Pop in a DVD or pull out your fansubs and rewatch the anime!
  3. Leave a prompt or a fill on the current kinkmeme!
  4. Come hang out in the community chatroom!
  5. Join in with your own set of five below!

1. Yashirobot just doesn't have the same kind of ring to it.
2. Ochi doesn't need to choose between further education or furthering his Go career, he has sufficient organisation skills and level of intelligence to cover both easily.
3. Yashiro would have taken the opportunity, his pride be damned; you have to take advantage of any opportunity as it presents itself, least it backfire and you miss out.
4. As Yashiro didn't get to witness the imbecilic nature that required many years of work and forced socialization by Waya, to chip away, he hasn't yet developed enough perspective to truly, deeply, appreciate how important it is to mock Shindou at every opportunity.
5. Despite the fact that Yashiro tries very hard to make and leave an impression on others, Yashiro cares too deeply about what others think of him to really let lose or say what he actually thinks.

So glad that you concur. I look forward to seeing further evidence as presented by others.

I think the real question is... why did it take this long?
