    Taichi.
[00:05] Tai
    Huh? What?
[00:07] Chi
    Stay focused.
[00:09] Chi
    If Arata comes to watch us,
[00:11] Chi
    I want to show off my team,
    and how strong we are.
[00:21] Chi
    Watch us play, Arata.
[00:23] Chi
    This is the second round
    of the group stage...
[00:25] Chi
    We're up against Yamaguchi

[00:29] Miya
    Mioka...
[00:30] Miya
    Yamaguchi Mioka?!
[00:32] Miya
    Yamaguchi Mioka is the

    Desktomu-kun times five...
[00:48] Chi
    Huh?
[00:50] Chi
    He started placing the cards from
    the left after shuffling them?
[00:55] Chi
    They all used that method?!
[00:57] Pork
    So there's no pattern
    to their placement?!
[00:59] Kana
    They're that confident in
    their memorization skills?
[01:01] Tai
    Wait, that's not what we
    should be worrying about...
[01:05] Tai
    The three guys over there
[01:07] ---
    won the All Japan High
    School Quiz Championship!
[01:11] Tai
    Why are they playing karuta?
[01:14] Tai
    Why do we keep getting matched
    against weird opponents?
[01:26] (Flashback) Desk
    The five of you have to get us there!
[01:31] Tai
    We absolutely have to win!
[01:35] Tai
    It doesn't matter how
    distinguished their school is.
[01:37] Tai
    It doesn't matter if
    they're quiz champions.
[01:39] Tai
    We've spent so much time
    on competitive karuta!
[01:43] Tai
    We can do this, guys!

    I could ask a friend of

    Wait, baseball is tough on violations.

    If his purpose here is to participate
    in the individual tournament,
[03:38] D
    it is our duty as educators to
    punish him by taking that away.
[03:42] B
    B-But, you must realize...
SIGN    They're close acquaintances
SIGN    So they can't say anything
[03:45] B
    Wataya Arata-kun is special.
[03:47] D
    Because he's the grandson
    of an Eternal Master?
[03:50] B
    No, that's not why.
[03:53] B
    He's a truly marvelous karuta player.
SIGN    Hello
[03:57] B
    I dare say that Master Suo can
[03:59] ---
    only be defeated if Wataya-kun
    continues to mature.
SIGN    Sunglasses aren't allowed?
[04:03] B
    I can't deny that Master Suo is strong.
SIGN    Why not?
[04:06] B
    But his strange behavior
    makes it difficult to use
[04:09] ---
    him as a role model for children.
[04:11] B
    I truly believe that it is our duty
    to nurture Wataya-kun's growth!
[04:18] Kuri
    So much pressure on Arata-kun!
[04:19] Mura
    So much hate for Master Suo.
SIGN    I don't know if I'll graduate this year.
[04:22] D
    He's right...
[04:23] D
    Master Suo is the biggest headache
    the karuta world has ever seen.
[04:27] D
    Honestly, I want to see him
    lose as soon as possible,
SIGN    I don't know when
    I will graduate.
[04:30] D
    but that doesn't make this right...
[04:32] Sho
    Excuse me!
[04:33] Sho
    It wasn't Arata's fault!
[04:36] Sho
    I asked him to sit down with us!
[04:38] Sho
    He helped make this tournament
    memorable for us!
[04:41] Sho
    We weren't trying to cheat
    our way to victory!
[04:43] Sho
    We just wanted to be able to play a match!

[04:45] Sho
    Please let Arata play in
    the individual tournament!

    Shoji!
[04:48] Sho
    I beg you! I beg you!
[04:51] D
    Is that so?
[04:52] B
    In that case...
[04:53] Ara
    They can't do that!
[04:56] Ara
    I have to accept my punishment.

    Arata...
[04:59] Sho
    But...
[05:11] Ara
    I'm focused on winning the

    I'm not interested in team tournaments.
[05:16] (Flashback) Sho

[05:18] (Flashback) Sho
    Thank you, Arata.
[05:21] (Flashback) Chi
    You should have started a team.

    I was just jealous.

    I'm Miyauchi, the advisor for Mizusawa.
[05:51] Oi
    Oh, hello.
[05:52] Miya
    I'm very surprised.
[05:54] Miya
    Your members are all third-years.
[05:57] Miya
    They chose to participate in
    this tournament when they're
[05:59] ---
    probably busy studying
    for college exams?
[06:01] Oi
    Yes, karuta is very useful in
    studying for college exams.
[06:04] Miya
    Oh, is that so?
[06:07] Oi
    It lets students train their concentration
     and memorization through a game.
[06:10] Oi
    A convenient tool.
[06:12] Oi
    I'm not too interested in winning,
[06:15] Oi
    but it's funny how we're
    beating schools that spend

    What now?
[06:37] Chi
    My style is big on attacking
    the opponent's side,
[06:41] Chi
    but I've never seen cards placed
    evenly in the middle like this!
[06:46] Chi
    This makes it easier for me to make mistakes!
[06:48] Chi
    I need to memorize!

    I'm moving my cards.
[06:51] Chi
    Huh?!
[06:59] Chi
    He...
[07:00] Chi

    A dead card!
[07:13] Chi
    I moved because he did!

    Chihaya, be careful.
[07:19] Tai
    I was thinking that they were
[07:20] ---
    a bunch of intellectuals who
    were giving karuta a try,
[07:24] Tai
    but they understand karuta.
[07:26] Tai
    They're good.

    Karuta is very fascinating.
[07:41] Naka
    My first encounter was a year ago.
[07:42] Naka
    When Sasaki from the karuta club
    came to see me for advice.
[07:46] (Flashback) Naka
    You want us to practice with you?
[07:48] (Flashback) Sasa
    You can draw parallels between
    buzzer pressing and karuta,
[07:51] (Flashback) ---
    so it might help.
[07:53] Naka
    It all began when I watched the DVD
    with the Master and Queen matches.
[07:58] (Flashback) Naka
    This is...
[08:01] (Flashback) Naka
    Exactly like buzzing in
    early and the lag effect!
[08:06] (Flashback) Naka
    Buzzing in early is when:
[08:08] (Flashback) N
    Question: The Winter Triangle
    is formed by Procyon, Si—
[08:13] (Flashback) Naka
    At that point,
[08:14] (Flashback) ---
    you can guess the rest is "Sirius, and what?"
[08:18] (Flashback) All
    Betelgeuse!
[08:21] (Flashback) Naka
    It's exactly like unique syllables
    in competitive karuta.
[08:24] (Flashback) Naka
    The lag effect is when:

[08:29] (Flashback) Naka
    Humans aren't machines.
[08:32] (Flashback) Naka
    If I buzz in after hearing "The Winter
    Triangle is formed by Procyon,"
[08:36] (Flashback) Naka
    the moderator will still say
    part of the next word.

    The Winter Triangle
    is formed by Procy—

    —on, Si—
SIGN    Oops
[08:46] Naka
    If I can catch that extra syllable,
[08:50] Naka
    I have what they call
    "game sense" in karuta.
[08:54] Chi
    He knew which card to go for after "As"?
[08:56] Chi
    No way...
[08:57] Naka
    I'm moving my cards.
[08:58] Chi
    What?!
[08:59] Chi
    I have to memorize
    their positions again!
[09:03] Naka
    I don't have any game
    sense to speak of.
[09:06] Naka
    I just have decision-making skills!

    I'm moving my cards.
[09:17] Chi
    Huh?!
[09:22] Oi
    Nakayama...
[09:24] Oi
    I'm his teacher, and I'd have
    to describe his intelligence

    and memory as freakish.

    Really?
[09:54] [POEM] N
    May the time we spend...
[09:57] Chi
    How many cards did I hit?!

    I took a card from the opponent's
    side, but I was just forcing it!

    Uh, what? Again?
[11:04] Ara
    Shinobu-chan, I won't be able to

[12:35] Hana
    You actually thought to bring an umbrella?

    The forecast said the chance of rain was low.
SIGN    Well, the JMA and the websites I checked said it would be sunny,
SIGN    but the Japan Weather Association
[12:44] ---
    said that there was

    O-Oh...
SIGN    How was the Akashi Girls' match?
[12:52] Sumi
    Here are the notes I took.

    How do you think our match went?

SIGN    First Akashi Girls' all look ordinary Girl in front (with long hair) Pink checkered handbag (Ponita) white hand towel pink macaroon phone strap

[13:03] Sumi
    but I wouldn't have understood
    what was going on anyway.
SIGN    Thanks, Hanano-san!
SIGN    Even the color
    of their socks...
SIGN    This is more than enough information.
[13:11] Sumi
    I was so relieved
[13:13] ---
    when you didn't suddenly tell me
    to play in a match this time!
[13:16] Sumi
    That was a big shock at the Tokyo regional!
[13:19] Sumi
    Just to be clear, I'm not interested in
    playing in the national championship!
[13:22] Sumi
    I'm fine with scouting other teams!
[13:24] Sumi
    Unlike everyone else, I don't have
    the fighting spirit to be a player!
SIGN    I'll try to consolidate these notes,
SIGN    so grab some lunch when you have a chance.
[13:38] Sumi
    O-Okay...
[13:42] Sumi
    I thought that everyone else in our
    club was itching to play in matches,
[13:49] Sumi
    but Komano-senpai might be different.
[13:53] Sumi
    Makes sense to me.
[13:54] Sumi
    The world of karuta is too competitive
    and intense. Who wants that?
[14:00] Oi
    This is turning out to be a good match.
[14:04] Oi
    Nakayama, your drive to challenge
    yourself has always impressed me.
[14:10] Oi
    To think that you would
    work so hard at karuta
[14:11] ---
    for the sake of doing well
    in the quiz championship.
[14:15] Naka
    That's probably what the
    coach is thinking...
[14:17] Naka
    However, in reality...
[14:20] Naka
    I work hard at the quiz championship
    for the sake of karuta.
SIGN    Huh? Really?
[14:24] Naka
    I love this atmosphere.
SIGN    He's a freak...
[14:29] Naka
    The tension before a card is read.
[14:31] Naka
    So silent, you can hear people breathe.
[14:42] Naka
    Wow, she has crazy lung capacity.
[14:45] Tai
    Chihaya, you can win
    if you just breathe.
[14:52] Chi
    Excuse me...
[15:04] Chi
    I can feel it rushing in.
[15:09] Chi
    I can see it.

    What? Again?
[15:37] Pork
    Doesn't really matter.
[15:39] Pork
    I don't know why he doesn't get it.
[15:42] Pork
    Our Suihoku society teaches
    defensive karuta.
[15:46] Pork
    The opponent can change his placement
    around as much as he wants.
[15:48] Pork
    My goal is to prevent him from taking
    any of the 25 cards on my side.
[15:51] Pork
    By making that my priority,
[15:55] Pork
    I'm somehow able to take the
    opponent's cards, as well.

    If he's randomly placing his cards,
[16:35] Kana
    then I won't bother remembering
    them by position.
[16:40] Tai
    I'll admit that it's impressive.
[16:42] Tai
    Their style has no fixed card placement
[16:44] ---
    and frequently moves the cards around.
[16:47] Tai
    But in karuta, you're only
    allowed to move your arm.
[16:50] Tai
    Against opponents who aren't
    great at memorization,
[16:52] ---
    his swing is fast enough.
[16:55] Tai
    But I'm good at memorization.
[16:57] Tai
    I can understand.
[16:59] Tai
    Their emphasis is on
    memorization and accuracy.
[17:03] Tai
    That's how I play karuta.
[17:06] Pork
    You need mental and physical
    strength to play karuta!
[17:09] Pork
    I only memorize about half the cards.
[17:13] Tai
    Nishida was trying to teach me that
[17:16] Tai
    your body is important too!
[17:18] Tai
    It takes both mind and body...
[17:21] Naka
    I can't let her get into a groove.
[17:23] Naka
    I'm moving my cards.

    Yes, that's me...
SIGN    Can memorize
SIGN    Can't memorize
[17:37] Chi

    While I sigh and lament...
[17:45] Chi
    Stay calm.
[17:46] [POEM] N
    When the misty bridge...
[17:47] Naka
    I'm moving my cards.
[17:49] Chi
    This is the first time I've faced
    someone who keeps moving his cards.
[17:53] Chi
    Stay calm.
[17:55] Chi
    If I stick it out long enough...
[17:57] Chi
    There, they're almost all
    one-syllable cards now.
[18:01] Naka
    I'm moving my cards.
[18:04] Chi
    He's moving them back now,
[18:04] [POEM] N
    ...that this love has
    also sullied my name
[18:06] Chi
    and he moved them to a strange spot.
[18:12] Chi
    It's go time.
[18:14] [POEM] N
    Note that though...
[18:17] Naka
    She moved the instant the reader spoke.
[18:19] Naka
    She moved faster than sound!
[18:21] [POEM] N
    ...I shall return to you
[18:26] [POEM] N
    When I must hide...
[18:28] Naka
    I don't even get a chance to move.
[18:30] Naka
    I trust my inspiration and attack.
[18:32] Naka
    My inspiration travels
    through my brain...
[18:35] Naka
    But in her case...
[18:41] Naka
    It goes straight from
    her ear to her finger!
[18:44] Naka
    She's no Orihime.
[18:47] Naka
    She's as sharp as...
[18:50] Naka
    ...Bellatrix of the constellation Orion!
[18:53] Naka
    The Amazon Star!

    You were so close, Kana-chan!
    You lost by two cards!
[19:04] Tsu
    I was close, too!
[19:04] Tai
    Come on, Chihaya!
[19:05] Pork
    You lost by 12 cards!
[19:06] Oi
    You all did well.
[19:09] Oi

    I brought some homemade cookies!
SIGN    I won't have any
[19:47] Tai
    How did the other schools do?
[19:49] Tai
    Was it rough moving around
    in the rain, Komano?
SIGN    It was no problem!
[19:52] Sumi
    Oh, speaking of which, the
    Queen was completely drenched.
[19:56] Chi
    Oh, I saw that!
SIGN    It was scary!!
[19:58] Chi
    She walked in dripping wet,
[19:59] Chi
    then she helped this person
    in a Fukui T-shirt and begged
[20:02] ---
    them to let him play in
    the individual tournament.
[20:04] Chi
    Because she wanted to play him.
[20:06] Chi
    So the Queen has a rival.
[20:12] Chi
    It's Arata.
[20:14] Chi
    Arata and Shinobu-chan...
[20:18] Chi
    Because she wants to play him...
[20:20] Chi
    Sumire-chan, can you tell me what—
[20:22] Tai
    We don't have time for that right now!
[20:24] Chi
    Taichi.
[20:26] Tai
    Let's come up with the
    order for our next match.
[20:29] Tai
    Stop it.
[20:31] Tai
    Queen and Arata.
[20:33] Tai
    Those words will distract Chihaya.
[20:36] Tai
    I need her to focus
    on the team match.
[20:41] Tai
    So Arata is...
[20:43] ---
    here.
[20:44] Tsu
    Uh...
[20:46] Tsu
    I believe that Komano-senpai should
[20:48] ---
    be a starting member for the playoffs.
[20:51] Sumi
    What's that?
[20:52] ---
    You're tired, so you
    want to switch out?!
[20:54] Tsu
    Bingo!
[20:54] Sumi
    So you must not want
    to play that badly.
[20:56] Tsu
    You're wrong!
[20:57] Tsu
    Komano-senpai will know better how
    to use all the data he's collected!
[21:00] Kana
    That's right.
[21:02] Kana
    Either Tsukuba-kun or I can drop out.
[21:06] Kana
    What do you think, Desktomu-kun?
SIGN    Yes... I'd say...
[21:12] Pork
    Wait.
[21:15] Pork
    I think we should use the
[21:16] ---
    same members we've been
    using for the next match.
[21:19] Chi
    Huh?
[21:21] Pork
    I think we should go without Desktomu-kun.
