In the end, a pinfu hand must win from a [[ryanmen]] wait. In other words, the winning tile must complete an open [[shuntsu]] (sequence). Complex wait patterns that include a ryanmen wait, such as [[ryanmentan]], would also be eligible for pinfu.

Complex waits may be subject to [[takame and yasume]]. For example, a [[ryantan|wait consisting of 4445]] can be interpreted as a pair + ryanmen wait (44 + 45) or a triplet and tanki wait (444 + 5). In this case, winning from a 3 or 6 would score as pinfu, but winning from a 5 would not score this yaku.
