[00:02] Harada
Come on! Hurry up!
[00:05] Harada
That was pathetic.
[00:07] Harada
You didn't even make the top eight, Hiroshi-kun.
[00:10] Tsuboguchi
Now, now, Dr. Harada.
[00:12] Tsuboguchi
This means we can cheer for
Chihaya-chan and her friends.
[00:15] Tsuboguchi
Oh, but if they've already lost,
we're wasting our time.
[00:17] Harada
Hiroshi-kun! Don't jinx them!
[00:24] Harada
They lost?
[00:26] Taichi
The question is: what order
do we use for the finals.
[00:29] Taichi
I'm guessing one of Hokuo
Academy's two Class A players
[00:32] Taichi
is the guy with thin eyes.
[00:34] Nishida
The other Class A player is that little guy.
[00:37] Taichi
You know him, Nishida?
[00:39] Nishida
I ran into him when I was
practicing as a kid.
[00:42] Nishida
He's one year older than me.
[00:43] Kanade
But we don't know what order
they're going to use.
[00:48] Taichi
That's true, but if we guess correctly,
[00:48] Chihaya
If I don't want to play against a Class A player...
[00:51] ---
that increases our chances of scoring three wins.
[00:51] Chihaya
Um... Um... Um...
[00:57] Chihaya
Forget it! Let's use this!
[00:59] Taichi
Chihaya, don't just write
down a random order.
[01:01] Taichi
And you're not supposed to use nicknames.
[01:02] Chihaya
This isn't a random order.
[01:04] Chihaya
I realized something when we
were playing Tomihara West.
[01:08] Chihaya
The player in the center needs to
be someone with an active voice
[01:10] ---
who can keep an eye on everyone else.
[01:12] Chihaya
On our team, that would be Taichi.
[01:14] Chihaya
The players on the ends should be
[01:16] ---
focused on their own matches
and scoring a quick win.
[01:18] Chihaya
That's Porky and me.
[01:20] Nishida
Yeah...
SIGN Monitor the situation Work hard Chihaya | Desktomu | Taichi | Kana-chan | Porky Work super hard
[01:21] Chihaya
Then, we put Kana-chan and Desktomu-kun
[01:23] ---
between the three of us to give them a boost!
[01:26] Chihaya
Instead of worrying about
our opponent's order,
[01:28] Chihaya
we should go with an order
that brings out the best in us!
[01:35] Chihaya
It doesn't matter who we play!
We're gonna win!

Here is Mizusawa High School's lineup.
[02:59] Person A
Thank you.
[03:00] Harada
Eyebrows! Eyebrows!
[03:02] Taichi
Dr. Harada.
[03:03] Harada
I heard you made it to the finals!
[03:07] Harada
I'm so glad to hear that.
[03:09] Harada
Chihaya-chan must be on a roll.
[03:12] Taichi
Doctor, I never knew that Chihaya
could succumb to pressure.
[03:18] Harada
Huh? Chihaya-chan?
[03:21] Taichi
I chose the wrong words when
I tried to stimulate her.
[03:26] Taichi
I didn't think she would fall apart...
[03:30] Taichi
So I need to accept that I
don't even understand Chihaya,
[03:36] Taichi
since I'm the president of this club.
[03:38] Taichi
I'll be going then.
[03:42] Harada
This is why I can never stop watching...
[03:46] (Flashback) Taichi
I could spend my entire youth on karuta
[03:48] (Flashback) Taichi
without ever becoming better than Arata.
[03:53] Taichi
Remember all the time you
spent practicing your swing.
[03:53] (Flashback) Harada
You've already become a different person.
[03:55] Taichi
You'll be fine.
You can do this!
[03:58] Tsuboguchi
Dr. Harada.
[04:00] Tsuboguchi
I see that kid hasn't changed.
[04:05] Harada
Hmm?

[04:22] Person A
So they're switching it up?
[04:24] Amakasu

[04:27] Amakasu
They're not that strong.
[04:29] Sudo
Anyway, I'm playing #5.

[04:32] Retro
Ooh, ooh, ooh!

I'll take on #3, Mashima!

Huh? Why's that, Retro-kun?
[04:37] Retro

He's never beaten me.
[04:42] Retro
He'll have a mental block when he faces me.

[04:49] Amakasu

[04:51] Amakasu
Let's just get these regionals

This is the year we get our revenge
against Fujisaki from Shizuoka!

We'll win every match and
the national championship!
[04:59] Person B

[05:00] Retro
Yeah!
[05:01] Mochida
E-Everyone, if you look too
far ahead, you'll stumble.
[05:04] Amakasu
Yeah, yeah.

[06:06] Chihaya
G-Good luck.
[06:09] Chihaya
Oh! Sorry!
[06:13] Sudo
Say, "Please forgive me."
[06:14] Chihaya
Huh?
[06:15] Takuma
There he goes again.
[06:16] Sudo
Where's my apology?
[06:18] Chihaya
I said I was sorry...
[06:21] Sudo
The only apology I'll accept
is a "Please forgive me."

[06:43] Harada
Stay calm.
[06:44] Harada
He's trying to get in your head
by using your favorite card.
[06:50] Harada
Why, if it isn't Mochida-kun.
[06:51] Mochida
Oh, Harada-san!
[06:53] Harada
Oh, so you're the coach for Hokuo Academy.
[06:56] Mochida
I'm just a fan who's not very good.
[06:59] Mochida
All I can do is pray...
[07:01] Harada
The boy on the end is placing
his cards in a peculiar manner.
[07:04] Mochida
Gosh, Sudo-kun is such a strange boy.
[07:07] Mochida
He always rubs people the wrong way.
[07:11] Mochida
But if it weren't for that,
[07:13] ---
he would certainly have the
potential to become a Master.
[07:16] Harada
But he might lose to one of my pupils.
[07:21] Mochida
Please.
[07:22] Mochida
That girl's only a first-year.

No, I truly believe...

I don't remember Mizusawa having a cheer.
[09:05] Person B
They must have just come up with it.
[09:08] Chihaya
Don't let the Chihaya card distract me.
[09:11] Chihaya
Stick to my usual style.
[09:13] Chihaya
Go on the attack.
[09:15] [POEM] Reader
Note that though...
[09:19] Harada
He was covering the "Nothing" card on
[09:21] ---
Chihaya's side before
he took her "Note" card...
[09:24] Harada
His style is also offensive.
[09:26] Mochida
The S in Sudo stands for striker.
[09:29] Mochida
Excellent.
[09:31] Retro
I held mine!
[09:32] Amakasu
I took the card!
[09:33] Takuma
Got it!
[09:34] Ryu
What about Sudo?
[09:36] Sudo
I scored the first card, naturally.
[09:41] Chihaya
Everyone lost that card?
[09:44] Taichi
We're just getting started!
[09:45] Taichi
Attack, Mizusawa!
[09:51] (Flashback) Taichi
Attack.
[09:52] (Flashback) Taichi
It doesn't matter if you're wrong sometimes.
[09:54] (Flashback) Taichi
Stay active!
[09:56] (Flashback) Taichi
Pressure your opponent's side of the field!
[10:00] Retro
Why are you getting so excited, Mashima?
[10:02] [POEM] Reader
that you pine for me as the Inaba mountain pines,
[10:03] Retro

[10:05] [POEM] Reader
I shall return to you
[10:06] ---
Attack!
[10:10] [POEM] Reader
When the wind sends waves...
[10:12] Sudo
Here.
[10:13] [POEM] Reader
After I determined to...
[10:15] Chihaya
I want to go on the attack,
but I'm having no luck.
[10:17] Chihaya
She keeps reading cards on my side.
[10:20] Sudo
Here.
[10:21] Harada
Offensive karuta is meant to
weaken your opponent's psyche,
[10:27] Harada
but it also provides more opportunities
[10:29] ---
for sending cards to put
yourself in a better position.
[10:32] Harada
Chihaya-chan is losing
control of the game.
[10:37] Chihaya
Stay calm...
[10:38] Chihaya
Check the cards.
[10:42] Chihaya
The "Chihaya" card keeps getting in my way.
[10:46] [POEM] Reader
Feel the love...
[10:49] Chihaya
She finally read a card
on the opponent's side!
[10:55] Sudo
That's what you get for not apologizing.
SIGN Got it!
SIGN I got it! I took a card!
SIGN Yes!
SIGN Ayase! I took a card from the opponent's side!
SIGN You have to do the same!
[11:08] Nishida
I got the card, too!
[11:09] Taichi
I held onto mine!
[11:11] Kanade
I'm gonna take the next card!
[11:14] Chihaya
In an individual match,
[11:16] Chihaya
one card is one card, nothing more.
[11:20] Chihaya
But now...
[11:24] [POEM] Reader
like a stream widening into a river
[11:29] Chihaya
Every card I take is a card for our team!
[11:32] [POEM] Reader
Though I prayed to...
[11:35] Chihaya
Got it! Two in a row!
[11:36] All
Chihaya!
[11:36] All
Ayase!
[11:36] All
Chihaya-chan!
[11:38] Sudo
Wait! That wasn't two in a row!
[11:40] Sudo
But that speed...
[11:42] Sudo
She was moving after "Though",
[11:44] Sudo
even though "Though my" is still on the field.
[11:46] Sudo
Was she gambling?
[11:48] Chihaya
Let's take the next one, everyone!
[11:50] All
Yeah!
[11:52] Harada
Mochida-kun.
[11:53] Harada
How many readers are here today?
[11:55] Mochida
Oh, this is just a high school regional
tournament, so she's the only one.
[11:59] Chihaya

[12:00] All
Yeah!
[12:00] Harada
So this is her fifth match?
[12:03] [POEM] Reader
I never asked to be treated colder
than the winds of Mount Hatsuse
[12:06] Harada
Chihaya-chan...
[12:07] Harada
Your ears already recognize this reader's quirks.
[12:12] [POEM] Reader
While it brings me no joy...
[12:15] Tsuboguchi
Hey! Now she really took two in a row!
[12:16] Tsutomu
Yes!
[12:17] Taichi
Chihaya took two in a row!
[12:19] Nishida
Right on!
[12:19] Kanade
Chihaya-chan is finding her rhythm!
[12:23] Chihaya
I can feel everyone else relax.
[12:26] Chihaya
Every card I take is worth
more than one card.
[12:31] Chihaya
Let's go for three in a row!
[12:32] All
Yeah!
[12:37] Harada
Chihaya-chan may recognize
the reader's quirks,
[12:40] ---
but it's more than just that.
[12:41] Harada
Sometimes, she gets in a zone.
[12:43] Harada
But that leads...
[12:46] [POEM] Reader
The tail feathers of...
[12:48] Harada
To mistakes.
[12:49] Sudo
Double fault.

[13:09] Sudo
I feel so much better when
I'm looking down on people.
[13:15] Sudo
Hokuo! One card at a time!
[13:17] All
Yeah!
[13:18] [POEM] Reader
long as the nights I spend alone
[13:20] Sudo
She certainly has quick reflexes.
[13:23] Sudo
But...
[13:27] [POEM] Reader
My only thought as the boat
takes me out to sea is that
[13:31] Sudo
Karuta is about more than speed.
[13:38] Sudo
What's this?
[13:39] Sudo
Did I just steal her heart?
[13:43] Chihaya
Covering cards on the opponent's side...
[13:46] Chihaya
That was one of Arata's best techniques.
[13:49] Chihaya
Are Arata's hands this big now?
[13:54] Sudo
I'm moving a card.
[13:55] Chihaya

My hand is drawn to it,

Wow, that's really your nickname.

You're Nishida-kun from the

I thought you quit karuta,

since you stopped going to tournaments.
[14:48] [POEM] Reader
burning brightly by night,

[14:49] Amakasu

Yes!

Amakasu Nayuta...
[15:04] Nishida

[17:06] Retro
Sudo-senpai and Amakasu-senpai
are having more trouble
[17:09] ---
than I was expecting.
[17:10] Retro
Which means it's my turn to save them!
[17:13] Retro
But...
[17:15] Retro
Why is this guy so tough?!
[17:20] Taichi
There are four "A" cards in total.
[17:23] Taichi
"A house" and "A mountain
village" have been read,
SIGN A night A mountain stream
[17:25] Taichi
so I can go for both of the "A" cards
on my side at the same time.
[17:29] Taichi
For the "Said" cards, the two "Said
world" cards have been read,
[17:32] Taichi
but that leaves "Said bed" and "Said night",
[17:35] Taichi
so I can't move on "Said."
[17:37] Taichi
"Impassioned was" has been read,
[17:39] Taichi
so I can take both "Impassionate" and
[17:41] ---
"Impassioned vows" at the same time on "Im—".
[17:43] Taichi
There are eight "May" cards.
[17:44] Taichi
"May I live, May I see,
May the scarlet, May it",
[17:47] ---
and "May the time we" have been read,
[17:49] Taichi
so that only leaves "May my"
and "May the time spent."
[17:52] Taichi
I have to be careful if the dead
card "May my lonely" is read.
[17:56] Taichi
Listen carefully.
[17:58] Taichi
Don't let yourself be tricked.
[18:01] Taichi
I don't have Chihaya's instincts,
[18:04] Taichi
and I don't have Nishida's
