Angry crowds have taken to the streets to fight against headbump.
Headbump, known as atamahane in Japanese, is a mahjong rule that states that when multiple people call ron on the same tile, only the next player in turn order gets the win.
According to studies, headbump causes lost wages (known in the mahjong world as “points”) and emotional damage to players who experience it.
One such player to experience headbump is Nakabayashi Kei of the U-Next Pirates, whose Kokushi Musou was lost after Murakami Jun called ron on the 9m that he was waiting on.
Why would Murakami kill Thirteen Orphans!?!

Fans of Takizawa Kazunori from Konami Mahjong Fight Club (the player who discarded the 9m) are planning counter-protests. It is expected that they head out to bump heads with those who hate headbump.
