When a player has declared riichi, the state of temporary furiten does not expire. Therefore, if a riichi hand skips a win, it is no longer able to call ron.

This rule exists because a riichi hand cannot change its waits. A non-riichi hand can, potentially, change its wait every turn. Therefore, players defending against non-riichi will know that tiles can become dangerous on the next turn. With riichi, this isn't the case. Thus, this rule makes it easier to defend against riichi. Because permanent furiten exists, any tile discarded after a riichi declaration is safe against that riichi player.
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.
