    No way!

    I'm not trying to become a Master!
SIGN    None of the other high schools are wearing them!
[02:02] Kanade
    What are you saying?!
[02:04] Kanade
    Both of you look much better now
[02:06] Kanade
    than when you were wearing
    your school or gym uniforms.

    You would fit in perfectly on a theater stage

    Chihaya, why are you just standing there?
[02:34] Taichi
    The opening ceremony's about to start.
[02:36] Chihaya
    Isn't this amazing, Taichi?
[02:38] Chihaya
    Everybody here plays karuta!
[02:40] Chihaya
    Everybody here is bonkers for karuta!
[02:42] Taichi
    Wait, you're being rude.
[02:45] Chihaya
    Okay! I need to text Arata!
[02:48] Taichi
    You've been texting Arata
    a lot since your birthday.
[02:52] Taichi
    Does he reply?
[02:53] Chihaya
    It's shocking how he never replies!
[02:55] Taichi
    Huh?
[02:55] Chihaya
    I'm sending messages just in case.
[02:57] Chihaya
    But why did he text you instead of me?
[03:01] Chihaya
    I always put my number
    on my notes and letters,
[03:04] Chihaya
    so he should know it.
[03:07] Taichi
    I can understand.
[03:09] [Messenger] [SIGN]
    Taichi, sorry about before.
    Tell Chihaya happy birthday for me.

    Sorry, don't take pictures.

    Taichi's been acting strange lately.

    I didn't expect to see you in

    Oh! It's Retro-kun!
[03:43] Retro
    Er, wait! You forgot about
    me for a moment there!
[03:45] Chihaya
    I forgot, but then I remembered!
    Long time no see!
[03:48] Retro
    What are you saying?!
[03:49] Chihaya
    Your high school is in this tournament?
[03:51] Chihaya
    That makes us rivals!
[03:53] Hiro
    Rivals?
[03:54] Hiro
    Don't you realize that you're
    just a new karuta club?
[03:57] Hiro
    Our Hokuo Academy is a karuta powerhouse
[03:59] ---
    that's made the national
    tournament five years in a row.
[04:03] Hiro
    Two of the eight members
    on the team are Class A.
[04:06] Chihaya
    Huh?
[04:06] Hiro
    Our team is incredible!
[04:08] Chihaya
    Two members in Class A?
[04:08] Hiro
    And I might add that I'm performing
    very well for a first-year...
[04:13] Chihaya
    My team is just as amazing!
[04:15] Chihaya
    We'll blow you out of the water!
[04:18] Hiro
    What are you saying?!
[04:21] Chihaya
    What do we do?
[04:22] Chihaya
    I knew this would be difficult.
[04:24] Chihaya
    Only one team will make it to Omi Jingu!
[04:28] Kanade
    Oh, Chihaya-chan!
[04:31] Chihaya
    Kana-chan!
[04:33] Kanade
    That won't do, Chihaya-chan!
[04:35] Chihaya
    Huh?
[04:37] Kanade
    A woman must always move with grace,
[04:40] ---
    whether you're wiping a
    table or drying sheets.
[04:45] Kanade
    Or in the fight of your life.
[04:55] Chihaya
    Twelve schools are participating.
[04:56] Chihaya
    There's a group stage,
    followed by the tournament.
[05:00] Taichi
    At least we weren't placed
    in the same group as Hokuo.
[05:03] Nishida
    We just need three people to win
    their matches for a victory.
[05:07] Tsutomu
    I was able to survive that brutal camp,
[05:09] Tsutomu
    and I was up late last night practicing.
[05:11] Tsutomu
    I know that I've improved!
[05:14] Kanade
    My love of classical poetry is
    greater than anyone else here!
[05:19] Chihaya
    I want to win!
[05:21] Chihaya
    Win and go to the national tournament...
[05:24] Chihaya
    With this team!

[05:41] Person D
    I heard one of them say,
[05:42] ---
    "players wear hakama for the Master and Queen matches,
[05:44] ---
    so you should get used to it now."
[05:45] Person E
    Wait, that's impossible.
[05:46] [POEM] Reader
    Here comes spring, now the flower blooms
[05:47] Person E
    They wouldn't say that if they knew
[05:49] Person E
    how strong the current Queen is.

    Shoot! This is the wrong card!
[06:23] Tsutomu
    I knew coming in that "The" cards were
[06:26] ---
    the ones people usually mix up.
[06:27] [POEM] Reader
    No matter where I stand on the shores of Tago,
[06:30] Tsutomu
    Calm down.
[06:31] Tsutomu
    The match has just started.
[06:33] [POEM] Reader
    My own home is a retreat lying
    southeast of the capital
[06:41] Tsutomu

SIGN    Group B Preliminaries
SIGN    Eikou University High School Mizusawa High School Shuryukan Hanasaki Academy
[06:48] Nishida
    Yes! That's one win!
SIGN    Gloom
[06:52] Taichi
    I'm guessing that Komano was up
    against Eikou's strongest player.
[06:57] Taichi
    Bad luck on your part.
SIGN    Oh? Really?
[07:00] Nishida
    Luck of the draw,
     more or less.
[07:05] Nishida
    Anyway, Mashima.
[07:07] Nishida
    I don't mind putting Ayase
    in the middle for now,
[07:11] Nishida
    but won't we need to rethink our order
[07:12] ---
    when we face stronger schools?
[07:14] Taichi
    Yeah.
[07:16] Taichi
    Will Hokuo use a standard order?
[07:19] Taichi
    Who are the two Class A Hokuo players?
[07:21] Nishida
    We just need you, me, and Ayase to win.
[07:24] Nishida
    So we should try to
[07:25] ---
    match Kana-chan and Desktomu-kun
    against the Class A players.
[07:28] Taichi
    That would be...
[07:30] Kanade
    That's right.
     Where's Chihaya-chan?
[07:32] Nishida
    She's over there sending a text.
[07:35] Kanade
    Again?
[07:36] Kanade
    She's been sending a lot of texts recently.
[07:38] Nishida
    It must be him, you know?
[07:39] Nishida
    Wataya Arata.
[07:40] Kanade
    Who's that?
[07:43] Nishida
    The person who taught Ayase karuta.
[07:45] Nishida
    He's ridiculously good.
[07:47] Nishida
    He's in Fukui right now,
[07:49] Nishida
    so Ayase must have started a karuta club
[07:52] ---
    so she could see him at nationals.
[07:55] [POEM] Kanade
    Swift!
[07:56] [POEM] Kanade
    Swift waters parted by the jagged rocks!
[08:01] Nishida
    Well, she's obsessed with karuta,
[08:03] Nishida
    so I'm pretty sure she just
    wants to play strong opponents.
[08:06] Taichi
    Let's get going.
[08:07] Taichi
    It's time for our second match.
[08:10] Kanade
    Is our next opponent, Shuryukan, strong?
[08:14] Nishida
    They're pretty serious about karuta.
[08:17] Nishida
    But you can take it easy, Kana-chan.
[08:19] Kanade
    Oh, okay!
[08:33] [POEM] Reader
    now the flower blooms
[08:38] [POEM] Reader
    No more can we hear the
    sounds of the waterfall
[08:40] Person A
    Got it!
[08:42] Chihaya
    Sorry about that.
[08:43] Chihaya
    I swung too hard.
[08:47] [POEM] Reader
    My life means nothing after all
    the agonizing I have endured,
[08:53] Both
    Thank you very much.
[08:57] Chihaya
    Kana-chan won!
[08:59] Nishida
    Nice job! It's your first victory!
[09:02] Kanade
    Yes!
[09:04] Chihaya
    You can do it, Desktomu-kun!
[09:09] [POEM] Reader
    I feel as though my body is
    on fire with Ibuki mugwort
[09:17] [POEM] Reader
    My fear is that you will forget
    your promise to never forget me,
[09:22] Person A
    Thank you very much!
[09:30] Kanade
    That was my first win!
[09:33] Chihaya
    That's great, Kana-chan! Congrats!
[09:35] Kanade
    Thank you so much!
[09:37] Nishida
    Shuryukan must have something against men.
[09:40] Taichi
    Yeah.
[09:41] Nishida
    I almost lost 'cause my
    opponent had a scary face.
SIGN    Group B Preliminaries
SIGN    Eikou University High School Mizusawa High School Shuryukan Hanasaki Academy
[09:50] Kanade
    Today was the first time I've ever
    felt like I was the one attacking.
[09:54] Kanade
    It feels so good when you take
     a card from the bottom right side
[09:57] ---
    of the opponent's field!
[09:58] Chihaya
    I know what you mean!
[09:59] Nishida
    We've made it out of the group stage.
[10:01] Nishida
    We just have to win two more
    matches to win the tournament.
[10:04] Nishida
    I think we have a shot.
[10:05] Taichi
    But if we lose once, it's over.
[10:08] Nishida
    That's why I think we
    should change the order
[10:11] ---
    so the three of us can't lose!
[10:13] Chihaya
    Our next opponent,
    Tomihara West High School,
[10:14] ---
    has one really strong player!
[10:16] Nishida
    Then we should match Desktomu-kun
    against that player!
[10:19] Chihaya
    We don't know what order
    they're going to use.
[10:21] Kanade
    Chihaya-chan!
SIGN    Um, excuse me.
SIGN    Can I go home now?
[10:30] Chihaya
    Huh?
[10:32] Kanade
    What are you saying, Desktomu-kun?!
[10:34] Nishida
    Stupid, you can't leave now.
SIGN    But you'll have enough wins without me,
SIGN    and I can't beat anyone.
[10:44] Kanade
    Y-You don't need to worry about that.
SIGN    Don't get all cocky because you lucked into a win!
[10:48] Kanade
    Huh?
[10:49] Nishida
    What's wrong with you?!
SIGN    I'm only here because you need five people
[10:52] ---
    to make it to the national tournament!
SIGN    Anyone could take my spot!
SIGN    You don't need Oe-san or me!
[10:58] Chihaya
    That's not true, Desktomu-kun!
SIGN    It is!
SIGN    Your goal is to reach the national tournament
SIGN    because there's someone you want to meet!
[11:06] Chihaya
    Huh?
SIGN    That's all you care about!
SIGN    Anyway, I'm going home.
SIGN    There's a test coming up,
SIGN    and I didn't get any sleep last night.
[11:19] Taichi
    Komano.
[11:23] Taichi
    I'll let you skip the semi-finals,
[11:25] Taichi
    but you'll be playing in the finals.
[11:28] Taichi
    That's an order.
[11:31] Chihaya
    Taichi!
[11:32] Chihaya
    He can't take any cards with that mindset.
[11:34] Nishida
    That's right!
[11:36] Nishida
    Just forget about him.
[11:37] Taichi
    It's not his fault!
[11:39] Taichi
    We're still playing karuta individually.
[11:44] Taichi
    We aren't a team yet...
[11:47] Chihaya
    Huh?
[11:53] Taichi
    Anyway, we have to win
    and make it to the finals.
[11:57] Taichi
    The four of us need to score three wins.
[12:01] Taichi
    So we can play with Komano again.
[12:06] Person A
    I will now read Mizusawa
    High School's order.
[12:15] Taichi
    Chihaya, you definitely can't lose.
[12:18] Chihaya
    Huh?
[12:20] (Flashback) Tsutomu
    I'm only here because you
    need five people to make
[12:21] (Flashback) ---
    it to the national tournament!
[12:24] Chihaya
    Oh, no...
[12:25] Chihaya
    I never realized that
    Desktomu-kun felt that way.

    Huh? Everyone on their team won that card?
[12:48] Chihaya
    No... Taichi and Porky took theirs,
[12:52] Chihaya
    so we're actually even in score.
[12:54] Sano
    Make it two in a row!
[12:55] Person A

    Anyway, we have to win and
    make it to the finals.
[13:06] Chihaya

[13:47] All
    Yes!
[13:49] Sudo
    Tomihara West is always so loud.
[13:50] Sudo
    They're actually not that strong,
[13:53] Sudo
    but the yelling makes
    their movements crisper,
[13:56] Sudo
    and it helps to intimidate their opponents.
[13:59] Sudo
    There isn't a team that's stronger
    when they keep your mouths shut.

[14:10] Retro
    Sudo-senpai.
[14:13] Sudo
    What are you doing?
[14:16] Retro
    These are like tarot cards,
    but they're retrot cards.
[14:20] Retro
    I'm going to use these to
    divine our opponent's order.
[14:24] Sudo
    What's scary is that you're
    right 80% of the time.
[14:28] Retro
    It looks like we'll be facing
    Tomihara West in the finals,
[14:31] Retro
    so the order won't even matter.
[14:34] Sudo
    If Mizusawa wins, I want to face
    the girl with the long hair.
[14:39] Retro
    Chihaya?
[14:41] Retro
    She has good instincts,
     but she's not that impressive otherwise.
[14:44] Retro
    She's no match for you.
[14:46] Sudo
    I like to toy with pretty girls.
[14:50] Retro
    The S in Sudo stands for "sadist"!
[15:02] Person C
    How are the semi-finals going?
[15:04] Person D
    Mizusawa's getting dominated.
[15:05] Person D
    Tomihara West is probably in the finals.
[15:08] Person C
    What about the cute girl from Mizusawa?
[15:10] Person D
    She's not doing as well as
    she was in the group stage.
[15:13] Person D
    Her opponent's got her number.
[15:16] Person C
    Something must have happened during lunch.
[15:18] Person D
    Did their team have an argument?
[15:20] Person D
    This is their first year as a team.
[15:22] Person D
    I guess they don't respect karuta.

[15:35] Person C
    What's with him?
[15:40] Taichi
    Chihaya, one card at a time!
[15:42] Taichi
    Pull yourself together!
[15:44] Chihaya
    Uh, yeah.
[15:46] Taichi
    It's no good.
[15:47] Taichi
    She's not her normal self.
[15:52] Taichi
    If I'm going to order people around,
[15:57] Taichi
    I need to pull myself together!
[15:59] [POEM] Reader
    My fear is that you will forget

[16:03] Person B
    Nice job, Sano-senpai!
[16:05] Sano
    Six cards up!
[16:06] Person A
    We can do this!
[16:09] Chihaya
    What do I do?
[16:11] Chihaya
    How do I usually take cards?

    I can't remember!

[16:57] Taichi
    You can win!

[17:00] Chihaya
    Huh?
[17:03] Taichi
    You can win if you just breathe.
[17:07] Chihaya
    Breathe?
[17:21] Chihaya
    So this is what my opponent looks like.
[17:26] Chihaya
    She's been yelling the most.
[17:28] Chihaya
    Look at her sweat...
[17:32] Chihaya
    I have eight cards left.
[17:34] Chihaya
    She has two cards.

[18:05] Chihaya
    I can hear!
[18:09] [POEM] Reader
    When I must hide these burning feelings,
[18:12] Chihaya
    Yes!
[18:15] Taichi
    Yeah!
[18:15] Nishida
    Nice!
[18:16] Kanade
    All right!
[18:19] [POEM] Reader
    Though I prayed to...
[18:21] Tsutomu
    Four cards down.
[18:22] Sudo
    She's on the attack since there
    isn't much risk of a fault.
[18:26] Sudo
    All of a sudden, she's incredibly good.
[18:28] Sudo
    She must be a sadist.
[18:31] Tsutomu
    Three cards down.
[18:32] [POEM] Reader
    Gust of wind leaves fall leaves falling
[18:35] Nishida
    Victory! Mizusawa's up one!
[18:37] Taichi
    I also won! Mizusawa's up two!
[18:39] Chihaya
    Two cards down.
[18:40] [POEM] Reader
    Since I could not hide my love,
[18:43] Person A
    Tomihara West has two wins!
SIGN    She's still down a card.
[18:48] Sudo
    She made up...
SIGN    may the wind bring clouds to extend their stay
[18:53] ---
    a six card deficit!
SIGN    You can do it, Ayase!
[19:11] Reader
    Mizusawa High School, three wins.
[19:13] Reader
    Tomihara West High School, two wins.
[19:15] Reader
    Mizusawa High School wins the match.
[19:17] All
    Thank you very much!
[19:22] Nishida
    She's asleep.
[19:23] Taichi
    Again?
[19:24] Nishida
    Oh! Kana-chan?!
[19:27] Kanade
    Desktomu-kun!
[19:31] Kanade
    I won't let you run away, Desktomu-kun!
[19:35] Kanade
    Why did you loosen your obi?
[19:38] Kanade
    I'll fix it for you, so stand up straight!
[19:47] Kanade
    Have you noticed?
SIGN    Huh?
[19:50] Kanade
    Look at everyone's feet.
[19:53] Kanade
    They all have calluses.
[19:57] Kanade
    Because they've been kneeling
    on tatami mats for many years.
[20:03] Kanade
    It only makes sense that we can't beat them.
[20:10] Kanade
    We'll have to keep practicing until
    we also have calluses on our feet!
SIGN    Kana-chan...
[20:19] Kanade
    Huh?
SIGN    Congratulations on your first victory!
[20:28] Taichi
    Komano!
[20:34] Tsutomu
    I would rather be on a team
[20:38] Tsutomu
    with someone who puts in
    effort on the tatami.
SIGN    Sorry!
SIGN    Sorry, everyone!
SIGN    Give me another chance!
[21:01] Nishida
    Stupid.
[21:02] Nishida
    The five of us are a team.
[21:04] Taichi
    The finals are next.
[21:06] Taichi
    We need you to stand a chance.
[21:09] Chihaya
    Mizusawa fight!
