Chapter 247 summary
The striped-shirted player announces 5-5-1 *CHYUUI-SHOU, breaking the prior rhythm and allowing limitless offensive and defensive options from the middle. Meruem questions Komugi about her pause before the move, noting it as a potential checkmate risk beyond the match. A flashback reveals the spiky-haired boy's invention of Gyulugyulugyulushou as a counter to Kokoriko, which was later adopted and then removed from records after he defeated it. Chyuushouarata oversees multiple boards while Morel traps the spiky-haired boy with a smoke rope. The fight escalates as the boy is pulled and struck, leading Zitoh to develop a new ability amid the confrontation.
