In Mahjong Hishouden Naki no Ryuu, the enigmatic protagonist Ryuu, known as the Crying Dragon, engages in games with gang members and secures victory through a strategic move called 'ron,' where he waits for the opponent's tile to complete the win. This term 'ron' shares its pronunciation with 'Crying' in Japanese, adding depth to the narrative. Adapted from a manga penned by Nojo Junichi during the 1980s-90s, this anime delves into the compelling world of mahjong and Ryuu's mysterious gaming prowess.
