    All right, now that the
    class trip is behind us...
[00:05] Teacher
    Ayase-san, since you want
    to become a teacher...
[00:09] Teacher
    Exactly what subject
     are you hoping to teach?
[00:19] Teacher
    Well, if we go by your grades,
[00:21] Teacher
    you're far more suited to
    PE than anything else.
[00:25] Teacher
    But Ms. Miyauchi...
SIGN    PE
[00:27] Miyauchi
    Make sure she picks a subject
    where students don't die!
[00:30] Teacher
    ...said that to me.
[00:36] Teacher
    Well, let's take a little more time
    to think about it, shall we?

    New members always welcome!
[02:02] Nishida
    Mashima's clearly been off his game
    since the qualifiers,
[02:06] Nishida
    and Ayase's still riding the momentum
    from her win at the Yoshino Tournament.
[02:10] Nishida
    She's not holding anything back, either.
[02:14] Both
    Thank you very much.
[02:16] Nishida
    She won by 20 cards!
[02:18] Nishida
    Ayase! He's never gonna
    bounce back that way!
[02:29] Chihaya
    I don't know what I'm supposed to do,
[02:32] Chihaya
    or how to make him feel better.
[02:35] Chihaya
    But if I hold anything back...
[02:38] Chihaya
    If I don't play with my full strength...
[02:40] Chihaya
    I get the feeling he'll
    just stop playing karuta.
[02:46] Chihaya
    I'll be the reader next.
[02:48] Chihaya
    We'll start in ten minutes.
[02:51] Nishida
    By the way, Ayase,
     did you call Wataya Arata?
[02:54] Chihaya
    Huh? No.
[02:56] Nishida
    Well, call him!
[02:57] Nishida
    He's the youngest male West
    representative ever! That's a big deal!
[03:12] Chihaya
    No. I'll call him later.
[03:15] Nishida
    Speak of the devil! Is that
    a message from Wataya?
[03:19] Sumire
    Oh, I got one, too.

    Do I have to go?
[03:48] Taichi
    I don't want to.
[03:50] Taichi
    I can't face Dr. Harada right now.
[03:56] Harada
    I called you all here today for one reason:
[04:00] Harada
    to announce my plan for producing
    the Shiranami Society's first Master,
[04:02] Harada
    my greatest dream since the day
    this society was founded!
SIGN    Announce...
[04:06] All
    Announce?
[04:07] Harada
    We have one month until
    the East-West Playoff!
[04:10] Harada
    We can't waste a single day!
[04:13] Harada
    First, you Class A kids!
[04:15] Harada
    You will participate more
    proactively than ever in practice
[04:18] Harada
    and challenge me as if you were competing
    to be Master or Queen yourself!
[04:23] Harada
    Those of you in Class B and below
[04:24] Harada
    will devote yourselves to strategy
    formulation and self-discipline
[04:28] Harada
    and heighten the competitive
    atmosphere of our practices!
[04:31] Harada
    For my sake!
[04:34] Guy
    Dr. Harada's finally letting
    his true motives take over.
SIGN    Bam
[04:38] Harada
    I started the Shiranami Society so
    that I could become Master one day.
[04:43] Harada
    It's to make myself stronger
    that I guide the younger players, too!
[04:47] Harada
    Tsuboguchi-kun, you're free
    to coach your own students,
[04:50] Harada
    but you have to come here
    at least twice a week!

    Wow, that'll be rough.

[04:56] Harada
    Tsuboguchi-kun and Hanano-san made me
    this chart of Glasses' card layout.

    Use this to play against me!
SIGN    Wataya Arata's Preferred Layout
[05:04] Taichi
    Arata's card layout?
[05:06] Taichi
    I'm supposed to be a virtual Arata?
[05:10] Taichi
    I... I can't do that.
[05:12] Taichi
    Suddenly playing with someone else's layout
    won't make me a good training dummy.
[05:16] Taichi
    I won't.
[05:17] Harada
    What are you talking about?!
[05:18] Harada
    You still played well after changing
    your own placement like that!
SIGN    You're versatile enough
[05:22] Harada
    You're the only one who can do this!
[05:23] Taichi
    Even if I copy Arata,
    I can't play like him!
[05:26] Taichi
    I won't!
[05:28] Harada
    You're the one who made me
    the East Japan representative!
[05:38] (Flashback) Sudo
    I yield this match.
[05:39] Harada
    He claimed he'd jammed his finger,
[05:42] Harada
    but the reason Sudo-kun
    yielded to me in the finals
[05:45] Harada
    was clearly because of his wager with you!
[05:48] Harada
    Of course, I would've
    won if I'd played him,
[05:51] Harada
    but I got out of hurting
    my knee any further!
[05:54] Harada
    The fight Tsuboguchi-kun put up
    in the semifinals helped,
[05:57] Harada
    but your strength at the
    Yoshino Tournament saved me, too!
[06:02] Harada
    I want...
[06:03] Harada
    to fight with the help of everyone
    in the Shiranami Society!
[06:07] Harada
    Being on the receiving end of
    that help makes me stronger!

    Full strength...
[06:23] Chihaya
    Dr. Harada's full strength...
[06:27] Chihaya
    pulls in everything around
    him to move him forward.
[06:33] Chihaya
    Dr. Harada, I'll memorize a layout, too.
[06:36] Harada
    You don't need to do that.
SIGN    You're not that versatile
[06:38] Harada
    You'll wreck your own play style.

    He's able to relax again,
    and he's tenacious on top of that.

    Nobody can call this the dumb luck of youth.

    I guess practicing with high school kids
     every day helps, huh?
[09:34] Sakura
    What are you talking about?
[09:36] Sakura
    I'm hopeless. I've lost my tenacity.
[09:39] Sakura
    I practice too much.

    For veterans, one real match is
    more important than ten practice games.
[09:46] Haruka
    You just beat me, though!
SIGN    You got me good
[09:50] Sakura
    Any game I play against you
    is a "real match" for me.
[09:57] Sakura
    Okay, you're next, Rion. Go on.
[10:02] Sakura
    Hyuga-kun, you're the reader.
[10:03] Hyuga
    Got it!
[10:04] Rion
    That's just mean, Coach Sakurazawa!
[10:07] Rion
    I lost big time in the East Japan qualifiers!
[10:10] Rion
    I couldn't make up for that minuscule
    difference in our game senses!
[10:13] Haruka
    With Hyuga-kun's sloppy reading,
    you might be able to beat me, Rion-chan.
[10:19] Haruka
    Though I wouldn't lose if we had
    the grade 7 Yamashiro as reader.
[10:25] Rion
    Excuse me.

    Way to egg her on, Inokuma-san.
[10:49] Sakura
    My Yamashiro's a fine raw
    gemstone, isn't she?
[10:52] Sakura
    You can tell she'll only go
    up from here, can't you?
[10:58] Sakura
    I noticed it earlier, too...
[11:00] Sakura
    but Inokuma-san's game sense isn't the same
    as when she was in her prime.
[11:06] Sakura
    It peaks in a player's teens
    and early twenties.
[11:12] Sakura
    It's all downhill from there.
[11:19] Haruka
    Thanks for the ride, Sakurazawa-san.
[11:21] Sakura
    It can't be easy,
     taking the bullet train here.
[11:24] Sakura
    Will you make it back next week?
[11:25] Haruka
    Sure, if you don't mind.

[13:11] Shinji
    Is this... a sign of love?!
[13:17] Kanade
    Dr. Harada told President Mashima to
    memorize Wataya-san's card placement?!
[13:21] Kanade
    That's just rubbing salt in his wound!
[13:25] Nishida
    I know, right?
[13:26] Nishida
    And Mashima's just as messed up
    for actually doing it!

    Not that I didn't know it,
    but he's a total masochist!

    What's up with you guys?
[13:37] Taichi
    He generally keeps similar cards separated.
[13:40] Taichi

    Huh?!
SIGN    Shock
SIGN    Whaaaa...
[14:04] All
    She's imitating Suo Hisashi?!
[14:07] Tsutomu
    What do we do about this?
[14:09] Nishida
    We have an idiot among us!
[14:11] Chihaya
    Are you in Class A?
[14:13] Sumire
    No, I'm not!
[14:17] Taichi
    L-Let's play some karuta, eh?
[14:19] Nishida
    And another idiot!
SIGN    What?!
[14:23] Tsutomu
    How will this go, though?
[14:25] Tsutomu
    One's trying to be Suo Hisashi,
    and one's trying to be Wataya Arata.
[14:30] [POEM] Nishida
    ...now the flower blooms
[14:37] [POEM] Nishida
    Feel sorrow wash over me...
[14:40] Tsutomu
    She put "Feel love" and "Feel sorrow"
    beside each other
[14:42] Tsutomu
    and held them down together.
[14:45] Tsutomu
    If someone with good game sense pulls that
    on you, there's nothing you can do.
[14:49] Kanade
    She's even imitating how often
    he holds cards down.
[14:53] Nishida
    Same for everything else.
[14:54] Nishida
    She put the cards she's
    confident in close together
[14:57] Nishida
    so she can win them before
    they're even read.
[15:00] Nishida
    That's not easy, even if you
    understand the concept!
[15:02] Nishida
    You're amazing, Ayase!
[15:06] Chihaya
    Pursue the world seen
    through Suo-san's eyes.
[15:11] Chihaya
    Seen? Heard?
[15:16] Taichi
    Damn it!
[15:17] Taichi
    It must be nice to be able to do that.
[15:20] Taichi
    It's taking all I have just
    to not feel discouraged.
[15:24] Taichi
    Wait, no...
[15:25] Arata
    It's taking all I have.
SIGN    He'd never say that
[15:29] Taichi
    Arata would never say that.
[15:33] Arata
    It's difficult to achieve a
    similar level of game sense,
[15:36] Arata
    but there are plenty of other
    ways to take cards faster.
[15:40] [POEM] Nishida
    Would this old...
[15:43] Nishida
    That was pretty ugly, Mashima.
SIGN    Ugly?!
[15:45] Nishida
    But you used a cross to take that!
[15:47] Nishida
    Ayase went straight for
    the "Would this" card,
[15:50] Nishida
    but you were prepared to take both
    "Would this" and "Would the"
[15:53] Nishida
    so you could win it on the first syllable!
SIGN    Is the cross stroke a way to play on equal footing as players with good game sense?
[16:00] Nishida
    With some refining, it is.
[16:02] Taichi
    What Arata refines...
[16:07] Taichi
    He does this at such insane
    speeds right from the start.
[16:10] Taichi
    It's not like the fundamental rule
    of listening with your hands.
[16:15] Taichi
    This is hard. It's a weapon
    of a different type.
[16:20] Chihaya
    But after one "Would" card is read,
    you can't do it again!
[16:22] Chihaya
    I'll get the next one! Just watch!
SIGN    Ah...
SIGN    Ah... She's back...
[16:26] Chihaya
    I'll... get the next one.
SIGN    Is that how
     Suo-san acts?
[16:29] Chihaya
    And after I win my fifth
    consecutive title, I'll retire.

[16:41] Harada
    So Glasses keeps "Since the" and "Since I"
    split up between left and right
[16:45] Harada
    and always uses a cross for them...
[16:48] Taichi
    Even if they're separated, I think he'd
    put them here to make you aim for them.
[16:52] Taichi
    Especially "Since the," in this case.
[16:55] Taichi
    But I think that means he's sure he can
    always take them, no matter what.
[16:59] Harada
    That definitely makes me
    want to take them myself.
[17:02] Harada
    And Suo-kun?
[17:03] Chihaya
    He moves forward softly
    and takes cards swiftly.
[17:06] Chihaya
    He holds cards down a lot.

    Yes, I can see that much by watching him.
