EPISODE CONTEXT

As episode 1 of 75, 'Eternal Rivals' is pure foundation — establishing the supernatural premise, introducing Hikaru and Sai, and planting the seed of Hikaru's eventual passion for Go. Nothing precedes it, but everything builds from here; the next episodes shift focus toward Hikaru's first real encounters with competitive Go and the growing complexity of his bond with Sai. This opener signals the show's long-game ambitions, prioritizing character setup over immediate payoff.
