When an opponent discards a number tile early, same-suit tiles towards the outside become safer against that opponent. For example, if 3-pin is discarded early, then 1-pin and 2-pin become safer due to sotogawa.

This theory only applies to tiles up to +/- 2 away from the discarded tile. Tiles that are 3 away are [[suji]]. Tiles that are 4 away are not affected by sotogawa, and possibly become more dangerous due to [[Suji#Ura suji|ura suji]]. In addition, it only works
