    As I wait...
[00:04] Chi
    We touched it at the same time!
[00:05] Chi
    But it was on my side, so I get it!
[00:07] Both
    All right!
SIGN    Trit-Trot
[00:09] Chi
    That was mine...
[00:10] Megu
    It was mine.
[00:11] Megu
    I was faster.
SIGN    Trit-Trot
[00:13] Megu
    I could tell.
[00:15] Chi
    What? But...
[00:15] Yu
    Megumu...
[00:16] Megu
    I was slightly faster!
[00:19] Yu
    ...is contesting a card!
[00:21] Megu
    Don't be ridiculous, Yu-chan.
[00:24] Megu
    The leader of this team is me.
[00:26] Megu
    The person who can make
    everyone happy is me.
[00:28] Megu
    The one who will challenge the Queen
[00:31] Megu
    is me!
[00:34] Chi
    I gave up the card she contested,
[00:35] Chi
    but that makes up for the earlier one.
[00:40] Desk
    It's fine, Ayase.
[00:43] Tai
    Just be your usual self.
[00:48] Tai
    Okay...
[00:49] Tai
    Time to attack!
[00:51] Tai
    Mizusawa!
[00:52] All
    Yeah!
[00:53] Yu
    Okay, one card!
[00:54] Megu
    One card!
[00:55] Megu
    One card at a time!

[02:33] Sho
    Arata, this is no simple
    letter of remorse!
[02:36] Sho
    It's a work of literature!
[02:37] Sho
    It deserves to be published!
[02:39] Ara
    Stop reading it.
[02:40] Sho
    This is better than Kawabata
    Yasunari and Natsume Soseki!
[02:42] Ara
    You're exaggerating.
[02:46] Shi
    Aren't you leaving, Arata?
[02:48] Ara
    I'm staying here as
    part of my punishment.
[02:51] Ara
    I won't leave until the
    tournament's over.
[02:53] Shi
    You ooze integrity.
[02:55] Shi
    Brings tears to my eyes.
[02:57] Shi
    Once my uniform is dry, I'll be leaving.
[03:02] Nog
    Oh, sorry I'm late!
[03:04] Sho
    Coach! Tajiri! You're late!
[03:06] Sho
    Way too late!
[03:07] Nog
    Sorry about that.
[03:08] Nog
    The engine stalled just when we got
    close, and we had to call JAF.
[03:11] Taj
    Since we knew we were disqualified,
[03:13] ---
    we stopped for gyudon on the way.
[03:14] Sho
    What?!
[03:15] Taj
    Wait, is that Queen Wakamiya?
[03:18] Taj
    It's really her!
[03:20] Taj
    Why are you skinny now?
[03:22] Taj
    What diet did you use?
[03:22] Nog
    Tajiri!
[03:23] Nog
    I saw the results downstairs.
[03:26] Nog
    It looks like Shoyo from Kyoto is out.
[03:29] Nog
    They lost to Mizusawa from Tokyo.
[03:31] Shi
    Oh, that's too bad.
[03:33] Shi
    I should have been
    there for their match.
[03:35] Ara
    Mizusawa?!
[03:36] Ara
    Mizusawa won?!
[03:39] Ara
    Are they still in?!
[03:42] Nog
    Mizusawa beat Shoyo to
    make the top four,
[03:45] Nog
    and now they're playing First Akashi Girls'
    from Hyogo in the semi-finals.
[03:49] Nog
    An impressive run for an unknown school.
[03:52] Ara
    They're winning.
[03:54] Ara
    They're playing hard.
[03:57] Ara
    Taichi... Chihaya...
[04:02] Shi
    Team matches are so nice.
[04:06] Shi
    Like a fun type of recreation.
[04:08] Shi
    It's fun to do things together,
    karuta or otherwise.
[04:13] Shi
    I find it relaxing to watch.
[04:15] Sho
    How can she relax?!
SIGN    "All," "As this," "Like the," "I feel that," "Impassionate," "Since the," "May my lonely," "Impassioned vows," "Like a," "The emotions," "The hazed...light," "I know," "As the first," "As my," "When I," "The fall paddy," "Silent," "My fear is that,"

[04:28] Shi
    That's for players who don't love karuta.
SIGN    "While the," "My life," "Would this," "A mountain village," "Said night," "My only...I"...
[04:37] Shi
    Arata, I might not present
    much of a challenge,
[04:42] Shi
    but why don't we play a match now?
[04:47] Shi
    We can kill some time.
[04:49] Sho
    She's looking to kill more than time!
[04:53] Ara
    I can't play.
[04:55] Shi
    Why not?
[04:56] Ara
    Today is a day for teams.
[05:04] Shi
    Forgive me then.
[05:11] Ara
    Shinobu-chan considers matches
    a way to kill time.
[05:17] Ara
    Because she's too strong...
[05:31] Sumi
    Wh-Why?
[05:34] Sumi
    Everybody's watching this match.
[05:38] Sumi
    Is the other match too one-sided?
[05:41] Sumi
    Hokuo already dropped three games?!
[05:47] Suo
    What's that?!
[05:50] A
    They're good...
[05:52] A
    This year's Fujisaki team is
    better than their reputation!
[05:56] A
    Still, I didn't expect the First
    Akashi Girls' vs. Mizusawa match
[05:59] ---
    to be more exciting than the
    Hokuo vs. Fujisaki match.
[06:04] A
    Mizusawa came out of nowhere.
[06:07] A
    They don't have any
    experienced supervision,
[06:10] A
    yet those kids are able
    to play this well.
[06:14] Ara
    I came here to cheer for
    my friends from Tokyo.
[06:18] A
    If Wataya Arata-kun came
    here to watch Mizusawa...
[06:23] A
    It's too late. Their match is almost over.
[06:30] Pork
    She's good...
[06:32] Pork
    More strong than good, actually.
[06:34] Pork
    When I try to contest cards, she gives
    me a scary look, so I back down.
[06:37] Pork
    I don't like to argue with girls in the first place...
[06:41] Yu
    Excuse me.
[06:46] Yu
    Megumu made these headbands for us.
[06:49] Yu
    But if I want to become Queen,
[06:54] Yu
    Megumu's my rival now!
[06:56] Yu
    Sorry about that.
[06:59] Pork
    Forget it.
[07:00] Pork
    I'm treating you like a boy!
[07:05] Yu
    You're weaker than Megumu!
[07:08] Yu
    Okay, I won!
[07:10] Yu
    One win for First Akashi Girls'!
[07:13] Pork
    N-Not again...
[07:16] Pork
    Not in such an important match!
[07:19] Sumi
    What are you doing, Nishida-senpai?!
[07:21] Sumi
    I'm calling you Porky-senpai
    from now on!
[07:22] Sumi
    It's settled!
[07:24] Tani
    Yes!
[07:24] Haya
    Yuube-senpai got us a win!
[07:27] Megu
    Yuu-chan took the first win from me!
SIGN    Swoon!
[07:32] A
    Akashi is the first team on the board.
[07:35] A
    Can they pull out the win,
[07:36] A
    or will Mizusawa hold them off?
[07:40] A
    Only seven cards remain...
[07:43] [POEM] N
    I can look up and see the
    snowy cap of Mt. Fuji
[07:52] [POEM] N
    Rain takes longer...
[07:54] Yu
    No way!
[07:56] Yu
    Megumu even lost her "Rain" card?!
[07:58] A
    Who is this girl, to do that
    to the West representative?!
[08:03] (Flashback) Yu
    Ousaka Megumu...
[08:08] (Flashback) Yu
    That name is perfect for a karuta player.
[08:11] (Flashback) Megu
    What are you talking about, Yu-chan?
[08:13] (Flashback) Yu
    All the syllables in both Ousaka and Megumu
    correspond to single-syllable words.
[08:17] (Flashback) Yu
    "Long," "Rain," and "Silent."
[08:19] (Flashback) Megu
    Why "Silent waves"?
[08:21] (Flashback) Yu
    Because the "mu" in Megumu is for
    dream, like in the second verse.
SIGN    Because the "mu"
    means dream
[08:27] (Flashback) Megu
    In that case, those are cards
    I can't lose, not even to the Queen.
[08:34] Yu
    Megumu...
[08:46] Kana
    One win for Pizusawa!
[08:47] Tai
    Pizusawa?
[08:48] Desk
    She slipped up!
[08:49] Kana
    But...
[08:50] Chi
    Kana-chan!
[08:51] Kana
    That's one win!
[08:53] Tsu
    Oe-senpai held on to win! Amazing!
[08:57] Rion
    A win immediately after
    losing the first game...
[08:59] Rion
    That was perfect timing.
[09:02] Rion
    That's big...
[09:04] Rion
    It eases the pressure
    from the first loss.
[09:11] Mura
    Mizusawa is a good team.
[09:15] Tai
    Six cards...
[09:17] Tai
    That's the number of cards
    remaining on the field,
[09:19] Tai
    but there are more to worry about.
[09:21] Tai
    Does she know that?
[09:23] Tai
    "Though my," "Like a," "After I determined,"
    "Impassioned vows," "For the,"
[09:26] Tai
    "So the flower petals," "A house," "A mountain
    village," "Said world grants no escape,"
[09:28] Tai
    "When winds send," "I wish,"
    "I feel as," "Nothing," "As the first,"
[09:30] Tai
    "My fear is that," "While I,"
    "The sound of people," "The fall paddy."
[09:33] Tai
    There are still 18 dead cards!
[09:35] ---
    The fall paddy...
[09:37] Nana
    Ah, a fault!
[09:39] Tai
    Good!
[09:41] A
    A dead card.
[09:43] A
    Six cards remain on the field.
[09:45] A
    The match could go either way now.
[09:47] A
    The West representative,
    Ousaka-san, could even lose!
[09:51] A
    I never knew there was such
    a strong player out there.
[09:57] Megu
    I lost "Silent" and "Rain."
[10:01] Megu
    Her speed is real.
[10:04] Megu
    This girl...
[10:06] Megu
    Ayase Chihaya...
[10:09] [POEM] N
    as my sleeves are wet with dew
[10:18] [POEM] N
    Impassioned gods...
SIGN    Got it!
[10:21] Tai
    Two wins for Mizusawa!
[10:22] Kana
    Yes! Our best card!
[10:31] Tai
    Did Chihaya
[10:33] Tai
    lose "Impassioned"?
SIGN    the red that is the Tatsuta River
[10:38] Megu
    This is payback for "Silent" and "Rain."
[10:41] All
    Megumu-tan held a grudge!
[10:44] Naka
    Amazing!
[10:46] Naka
    "Impassioned vows" and "Impassioned
    was" haven't been read yet,
[10:49] Naka
    so even Bellatrix was playing it safe!
[10:53] Naka
    This time, the girl in
    glasses went aggressive.
[10:57] Naka
    This is a match between two
    girls seeking to become Queen!
[11:01] A
    Mizusawa now leads 2-1.
[11:04] A
    If they win one more game,
    they'll advance to the finals.
[11:11] Suo
    Hokuo lost 1-4...
[11:15] Suo
    That's pathetic!
[11:22] A
    Mori! Is that a video?!
[11:25] B
    Have you forgotten you're
    in the photography club?!
[11:27] Mori
    You can't capture her speed,
    even with continuous shots.
[11:31] Mori
    Th-They're so fast.
[11:34] B
    She barely beat her opponent.
[11:36] All
    Megumu-tan is getting faster.
[11:40] All
    Because of her opponent.
[11:44] All
    We want to watch
[11:47] All
    as you battle with strong friends,
[11:50] All
    encounter strong enemies,
[11:53] All
    and realize your true potential!
[12:02] [POEM] N
    I feel as though I am like
    the Izumi river split,
[12:12] Chi
    Megumu-chan...
[12:15] Chi
    Let's work hard...
[12:17] Chi
    Let's work hard!
[12:19] Chi
    We can't let
[12:24] Chi
    Shinobu-chan be alone forever!
[12:33] Ara
    What is it?
SIGN    people would always ask if I was pining for someone
[12:38] Shi
    I thought I heard
[12:43] ---
    "Since I could" being read.
[12:56] (Flashback) Hara
    Chihaya-chan...
[12:58] (Flashback) Hara
    No matter how much it may hurt,
[13:00] (Flashback) Hara
    you must show your respect.
[13:12] Both
    Thank you very much.
[13:19] Both
    Thank you very much.
[13:21] Yu
    She won!
[13:24] Tai
    She lost.
[13:47] Chi
    First Akashi Girls' has 2 wins...
[13:50] Chi
    Mizusawa has 2 wins...
[13:54] Chi
    Desktomu-kun!
[14:00] Tai
    His opponent has "The sight of Mount,"
[14:01] Tai
    while Komano has "May my lonely"
    in a luck of the draw.
[14:05] Tai
    There are four more dead cards...
[14:10] Sumi
    Everyone's watching!
[14:12] [POEM] N
    people would always ask if
    I was pining for someone
[14:15] Sumi
    I can't stand this!
[14:17] Sumi
    I can't bear the fact that our
    team's fate is on the line!
[14:22] Sumi
    I can't bear to watch!
[14:23] [POEM] N
    Though my hatred has waned...
[14:26] [POEM] N
    So the flower petals...
[14:28] [POEM] N
    I wish I could show the
    people how my sleeves
[14:30] Sumi
    It's not over yet?!
SIGN    Excuse me.
[14:47] (Flashback) Desk
    Karuta is hard and scary.
[14:51] (Flashback) Desk
    I got nervous when
    Porky called me out...
[14:56] Desk
    It's scary.
[14:58] Desk
    This is the last game...

[15:02] [POEM] N
    Said world grants no escape
[15:06] Tai
    Komano, have you noticed?
[15:09] Tai
    There aren't any more dead cards!
[15:12] Tai
    The next card will decide
[15:14] ---
    the game!
[15:17] Desk
    It's scary...
[15:20] Desk
    But...
[15:21] [POEM] N
    I hide in the mountains, only to
    hear the haunting cry of a deer
[15:29] Desk
    I'll always have...
[15:32] [POEM] N

[15:39] Both
    Thank you very much.

[16:06] Mura
    The final will be between Fujisaki
    High School and Mizusawa High School.
[16:10] Mura
    Please return to your
    seats in 15 minutes.
[16:13] Miya
    That was incredible.
[16:16] Miya
    The second-years really gave it their all.
[16:29] Mori
    Megumu-tan... Will we get it?
[16:32] Mori
    Will we get it?
[16:34] Mori
    Will we finally get a rare
    shot of Megumu-tan's tears?!
[16:42] All
    Here it comes!
[16:43] All
    Memory wipe time!
SIGN    She was quick today
[16:45] Megu
    Can you give me this data?
[16:48] Megu
    You were taking pictures during
    the whole match, right?
[16:51] Megu
    Give them all to me.
[16:52] Megu
    Let me see them.
[16:57] All
    Megumu-tan...
SIGN    Megumu-tan...
[16:58] A
    Wait! Those are the battery
    packs, not the SD cards!
[17:05] Megu
    That was my last time
    playing karuta on this team.
[17:10] Tani
    Megumu?
[17:12] Megu
    It's all over.
[17:15] Megu
    I always thought that I
    would stop playing karuta
[17:19] ---
    once I could no longer play with all of them.
[17:23] (Flashback) Yu
    We'll help, so let's practice until
    you're invested enough to get upset.
SIGN    Good Luck Megumu
[17:29] Megu
    I'm so stupid.
[17:34] Megu
    I'm upset after winning.
[17:37] Megu
    I can't stop...
SIGN    Okay, it's finally time to face Fujisaki!
SIGN    Pay attention to the following points.
[17:46] Chi
    Desktomu-kun...
[17:47] Chi
    You're incredible, Desktomu-kun!
[17:49] Chi
    Incredible!
[17:50] Chi
    Why did you go after "The sight
    of Mount" in that luck of the draw?
[17:52] Chi
    Did you hear it?
SIGN    Of course not.
SIGN    I was gambling.
SIGN    Going from the data from the matches I've watched,
SIGN    there's a slightly higher chance of a "The" card
[18:04] ---
    being read in a luck of the draw.
SIGN    That's all it was.
SIGN    Anyway, for the final lineup,
[18:11] ---
    I think we should stick
    with the second-years.
[18:13] Tai
    Statistically, he had a 50%
    chance of guessing right,
[18:17] Tai
    but I've heard people say...
[18:19] Pork
    I've heard Master mention that before...
[18:23] (Flashback) Kita
    There are all kinds of superstitions
    when it comes to luck of the draw.
[18:26] (Flashback) Kita
    Some only go for three-syllable cards
    that have become one-syllable cards.
[18:29] (Flashback) Kita
    Or they believe that a
    "The" card will be read.
[18:31] Pork
    Superstitions...
[18:34] Pork
    Desktomu-kun has only been playing
    karuta for 15 months,
[18:39] Pork
    but he's already formed
    his own superstitions.
[18:44] Pork
    Desktomu-kun is learning...
[18:50] Desk
    I'll always have my data to help me,
[18:55] Desk
    and I'm sure it'll help everyone else.
[19:01] Chi
    The grand final...
[19:05] Chi
    Our team won, but I lost...
[19:09] Chi
    Why?
[19:12] Chi
    When the score was 2-2,
    Megumu-chan took "May my sighs,"
[19:14] ---
    then sent "Since I."
[19:18] Chi
    It's one of my better cards,
    but I lost it at the very end.
[19:24] Chi
    What could I have done better?
[19:26] Chi
    I was able to identify
    Megumu-chan's weaknesses.
[19:30] Chi
    I was able to conquer my own.
[19:33] Chi
    What could I have done better?
[19:36] Chi
    What could I have done better?
[19:51] Chi
    Nail marks...
[19:54] Chi
    I was using that much strength?
[20:02] Chi
    Relax...
[20:05] Chi
    Relax...
[20:08] Chi
    This is the final.
[20:13] Miya
    A voice mail from Mr. Matoba?
[20:17] Miya
    The Mizusawa concert band?!
[20:21] Miya
    They lost their competition
    in the regional preliminary.
[20:25] Pork
    No boost for us this time.
[20:29] Miya
    What is it, Tsukuba-kun?
[20:31] Tsu
    I have a request, Ms. Miyauchi.
[20:33] Tsu
    Order them to replace
    Oe-senpai with me.
[20:37] Tsu
    Use your authority as the advisor!
[20:39] Miya
    There you go again.
[20:41] Miya
    If you just want attention, stop it.
[20:43] Tsu
    That's not it!
[20:44] Tsu
    I'm not doing this for attention!
[20:46] Tsu
    But I'm here!
[20:48] Tsu
    I'm scared about going up
    against Fujisaki in the final,
[20:50] ---
    but I'm still a member of the team!
[20:53] Kana
    Please, Tsukuba-kun...
[20:57] Kana
    Do I look that tired?
[21:00] Tsu
    Huh?
[21:01] Kana
    I'm just fine.
     I can play another match.
[21:16] Kana
    That was a lie.
[21:19] Kana
    That was a lie.
[21:21] Kana
    Tsukuba-kun, please win for me.
