This rule prevents a riichi player from "sniping" others, and also makes it easier to defend against a riichi. Any tile discarded after a riichi declaration is safe against that riichi player.


A player in riichi never has to worry about having no yaku unless they are playing with [[ryanhan shibari]]. When ryanhan shibari, a riichi without a guaranteed second yaku may be quite dangerous due to furiten.
