Before the pot timeline, Rikkai won consecutive championships with Yukimura and Sanada leading. So I guess, the coach can relax a lot.
How do you square that with him becoming national advisor of the year the previous season? I think the point is that he contributed quite a bit to Rikkai's success from behind the scenes.
Another detail that I find pretty interesting is that in the survey results, the Yips entry says that it
includes Five Senses Revocation. This is significant in my eyes because it implies Yips and Five Senses Revocation are bundled together, but aren't synonyms. It makes me re-evaluate Sixth Sense.
I've always found it difficult to determine what exactly Yukimura contributed to the move, but looking at the distinction here and the way he used Yips to steal his own senses against Tezuka, I wonder if the same might've happened during Sixth Sense. In other words, Yukimura stole his and Tokugawa's five senses, so that they could clearly see the future without being distracted by the present.
