[00:04] Kana
Tsukuba-kun, please win for me.
[00:10] Chi
Kana-chan?!
[00:14] Chi
Did this happen during the last match?
SIGN It's really swollen.
[00:19] Kana
Good thing it was me.
[00:21] Kana
Good thing it wasn't Chihaya-chan
jamming her finger.
[00:24] Chi
What are you talking about, Kana-chan?!
[00:26] Kana
We should consider ourselves lucky!
[00:28] Kana
It wasn't our ace who got hurt.
[00:30] Kana
We have first-years to sub in!
[00:32] Kana
Luck is on our side.
[00:34] Kana
Mizusawa is set up to win.
[00:41] Sumi
Did you notice that Oe-senpai
was injured, Tsukuba?
[00:45] Tsu
O-Of course!
[00:46] Tsu
I was watching Oe-senpai the whole time!
[00:48] Sumi
Yeah, you're lying.
[00:49] Sumi
You always lie.
[00:51] Tsu
I was worried about her stamina,
[00:54] Tsu
and I never noticed her injury.
[00:57] (Flashback) Kana
That was a lie.
[00:58] (Flashback) Kana
Tsukuba-kun, please win for me.
[01:02] Tsu
Her lie was completely different from mine.
[01:06] Miya
I'm amazed you were able
to win your game like this.
[01:08] Miya
It may be sprained.
[01:10] Miya
The swelling could get worse.
[01:12] Kana
It's okay.
[01:18] Miya
Her hand is so small...
[01:21] Miya
Yet Oe-san and Komano-kun
are able to lead the others?
[01:28] Miya
But...
[01:34] Miya
In the process, they're also providing a push.

[02:53] Retro
We're sorry...
We're sorry... We're sorry...
[02:57] Retro
We're sorry, Sudo-san!
[02:59] Retro
Please don't spank us!
SIGN Spank?
[03:00] A
What?
[03:01] Ama
Oh, one of the hosts...
[03:03] A
Members of Hokuo,
too bad about that match.
[03:09] Retro
Do you need something?
[03:10] A
Uh, do you know who
Wataya Arata-kun is?
[03:14] A
From Fukui...
[03:15] Retro
Wataya Arata?!
[03:16] Retro
He is my eternal rival!
[03:19] Retro
Back in the winter of sixth grade,
[03:21] Retro
when we were almost equals,
we had a fateful encounter in Tokyo!
[03:25] A
Oh, I just wanted to know
if you were acquainted.
[03:29] A
Wataya-kun came here to cheer for you,
[03:33] A
but due to a mishap, he
wasn't able to watch in person.
[03:36] A
Once the third place match is
over, you should go see him.
[03:40] A
He's in the room at the
end of the second floor.
[03:43] Retro
Wataya Arata came to cheer for us?
[03:48] Retro
Doesn't matter.
[03:50] Retro
I don't have time to worry
about another school.
[03:53] Retro
Because...
[03:56] Sudo
Bastards...
[03:59] Sudo
Are you ready to bunny hop down
the Tokaido on the way home?
[04:06] Sudo
Just kidding. I was a fool.
[04:10] Sudo
I was convinced that you
would make the final,
[04:12] Sudo
so I wasn't watching the last match.
[04:15] Sudo
I was convinced that you
would make the final,
[04:17] Sudo
so I wasn't focused.
[04:20] Sudo
This time, I'll be watching...
[04:21] Ama
Huh?
[04:27] Sudo
Hokuo must end the
tournament with a win!
[04:30] A
The third-years are so good.
[04:32] B
I want to know what lineup
we'll use for the final.
[04:34] C
There's no reason to change lineups.
[04:36] C
They're our best players.
[04:37] B
Stupid. Don't you know
Coach Sakurazawa's style?
[04:40] B
She always switches in a
younger player for the final!
[04:46] Mako
Who will be dropped?
[04:49] Ichi
Will it be me for being the
single loss against Hokuo?
[04:53] Both
This is the best lineup we have, Coach.
[05:01] Saku
Suzuki Manata.
[05:04] Saku
You're out.
[05:06] A
Wow, she's breaking up
Fujisaki's Mana-Kana,
[05:08] A
Manata-senpai and Kanata-senpai!
[05:10] B
They're even, ability-wise,
[05:12] B
but she only removed
one from the lineup.
[05:13] C
Evil!
[05:15] Mana
C-Coach, why me?!
[05:18] Saku
Your knees.
[05:20] Saku
You've put a lot of strain
on those knee supports.
[05:22] Saku
Thank you.
[05:23] Saku
We wouldn't have made it to the
finals without your hard work.
[05:27] Saku
Yamashiro Rion, you're in.
[05:32] Rion
Yes.
[05:32] D
A second-year in the lineup...
[05:34] E
I knew it'd be Yamashiro.
[05:36] E
She's confirmed to be the
next core of this team.
[05:38] F
I've heard rumors that the
reader for the next match is—
[05:40] Saku
Stop chattering.
[05:43] Saku
The finals are the best opportunity to learn.
[05:45] Saku
Watch carefully and consider
the meaning of each card.
[05:47] All
Yes!
[05:54] Mako
Yamashiro Rion.
[05:56] Mako
I figured she would be chosen.
[05:58] Mako
Frightening...
[05:59] Mako
The third-years are all in love with her.
[06:04] Mako
Frightening...
[06:05] Mako
Plus, she's copying my hairstyle.
[06:08] Mako
Frightening...
[06:09] Rion
Makoto-senpai.
[06:11] Rion
I was watching Mizusawa's match,
[06:13] Rion
so I'm familiar with each player's—
[06:14] Mako
You think you can give advice
to the third-years?!
[06:17] Mako
And why did you agree
to enter the lineup?!
[06:19] Mako
You must know how hard
Manata worked to get here!
[06:22] Mako
You should have refused to play!
[06:23] Ichi
Hey, Makoto.
[06:24] Mako
We don't need you to win!
[06:26] Ero
Stop it, Makoto!
[06:28] Mako
Why are you all so soft on Rion?
[06:30] Mako
Don't you find it creepy how
she never shows any emotion?!
[06:34] Rion
But if I play, we can win for sure.
[06:37] Rion
Also, I wasn't the one who took
Manata-senpai out of the lineup.
[06:44] Mako
I know that, you iron mask!
[06:48] Mako
I know that...
[06:50] Mako
The scariest person in Fujisaki is...
[06:54] Saku
We will be fine this year.
[06:56] Saku
The problem is the year after next.
[06:58] Saku
The third-years we have now are so good
[07:00] ---
that our team is no longer balanced.
[07:02] Saku
There are only a few first-years
who show any promise.
[07:06] Saku
I suppose I could have taken out
another third-year to let a first-year play.
[07:10] Mochi
Ms. Sakurazawa.
[07:13] Saku
Mr. Mochida.
[07:14] Mochi
Congratulations on advancing to the finals.
[07:16] Mochi
I was very impressed.
[07:18] Mochi
I just saw that you took out one
of your third-years for the final.
[07:22] Mochi
He was the player who defeated
our Kameda very quickly.
[07:26] G
Coach Sakurazawa is really something.
[07:28] G
Most people would never take out
a third-year for the final.
[07:31] F
I know, but you have to
admire Manata-senpai.
[07:34] F
He's not hiding the fact that he's upset.
[07:38] Kana
Manata, your knees aren't
bothering you that much, right?
[07:42] Kana
We can go appeal to Coach.
[07:44] Mana
Kanata...
[07:50] Kana
Ma-Manata?!
[07:53] Mana
I-It's okay...
[07:54] Mana
I was just remembering all the
grueling practice we went through.
[07:58] Saku
Yes, Suzuki Manata is
an excellent player.
[08:02] Saku
I expect him to perform well in the
individual tournament tomorrow.
[08:05] Mochi
It's my fault that Hokuo lost.
[08:09] Mochi
I'm not as strong as she is.
[08:11] Mochi
I don't have her kind of
strength and conviction,
[08:17] Mochi
to utilize the hopes of the
third-years to win the final.
[08:25] Ama
Retro, pay attention!
[08:27] Retro
Yes!
[08:29] Ama
Give it everything you got left.
[08:32] Ama
The senpais, who hated how
our red T-shirts stand out
[08:34] ---
and swore to never wear them again,
[08:36] Ama
are wearing them now
as they watch us play.
[08:39] Taku
One of those isn't a senpai...
[08:42] Ama
Forget it! Don't mention that!
SIGN Self- made replica
[08:43] Ama
She's still here to support us.
[08:45] Ama
We're not alone here!
[08:51] [POEM] Kana
May my sighs be blamed upon the moon,
[08:56] [POEM] Kana
or do my tears come from
the feelings it invokes?
[09:00] Miya
Oe-san?
[09:01] Kana
How did the Monk Saigyo feel
when he looked up at the moon?!
[09:05] Miya
I-I'm glad to see that
you're doing okay.
SIGN Listen up, everyone.
SIGN I'm confident that I can guess our opponent's lineup with 100% accuracy.
[09:18] All
What?!
SIGN Fujisaki has multiple players who are highly skilled.
SIGN Think of it as playing against five of Hokuo's Sudo-san.
[09:24] Chi
What?!
[09:25] Pork
He said that like it's nothing!
SIGN None of the players stand out for individual performance,
SIGN 1. Emuro Ryoga (Captain)
SIGN but they have a vague order that may be based on their personalities.
SIGN 1. Emuro Ryoga (Captain) 2. Ichimura Mitsuki
SIGN 1. Emuro Ryoga (Captain) 2. Ichimura Mitsuki 3. Suzuki Manata\Kanata
SIGN 1. Emuro Ryoga (Captain) 2. Ichimura Mitsuki 3./4. Suzuki Manata\Kanata ?. Yamai Makoto
[09:33] Pork
Why do you have a question mark here?
SIGN I'm not sure where to put him.
SIGN They'll be changing the lineup for the final, anyway.
SIGN One of the twins will be dropped for a younger player.
[09:44] Pork
Wait, a third-year Class A
player's getting dropped?!
SIGN Yep, and he'll probably be replaced by a girl.
[09:49] Chi
How do you know that?!
[09:51] (Flashback) Mako
In Fujisaki, the girls are
scarier than the guys.
SIGN I watched three of their matches.
SIGN Also...
[09:59] Tai
He reminds me of Arata.
[10:02] Tai
He's about the same build
and wearing glasses.
[10:05] Tai
Huh?
[10:07] Tai
I'd forgotten Arata until now.
[10:10] Tai
He kept popping up before...
[10:13] Tai
Was it because I was concentrating
[10:16] Tai
on the team match?
[10:17] A
Time's up.
[10:19] A
Will the players please enter the room?
SIGN Nationals edition
[10:22] Desk
I've done all I can.
[10:25] Desk
I doubt I'll be able to win my game.
[10:30] Desk
But...
[10:32] ---
But...
[10:35] O
Nakayama! We'll barely make the
train if we watch this match!
[10:37] O
Can we make it? Can we make it?
[10:40] Sumi
Did you really want to play that badly?
[10:42] Kana
Of course I did!
[10:44] Kana
If I'd known about this, I would
have insisted on playing!
[10:46] Sumi
Huh?
[10:47] A
I'm so glad that she agreed to come.
[10:49] A
This is a wonderful present
for the high school students.
[10:52] Kana
The certified reader,
Yamashiro Kyoko, grade 7.
[10:56] Kana
We're so lucky to have her
read for a high school match!
[11:00] Kana
She's one of the best readers out there!
[11:02] Sumi
The world of karuta is too
deep for me to understand.
[11:06] Kana
This really is the final...
[11:08] Kana
In Omi Jingu, on the ultimate stage,
with the ultimate reader.
[11:14] Both
I wanted to play!
[11:17] Chi
I'm actually a greedy person.
SIGN Huh? We know.
[11:21] Chi
Compared to becoming Queen, becoming
the strongest woman in Japan,
[11:25] Chi
it's much harder for us to
become best in Japan together!
[11:38] Tai
Let's do this!
[11:39] Pork
Mi!
[11:39] Tsu
Zu!
SIGN Sa!
[11:40] Chi
Wa!
[11:41] All
Fight!
[11:44] Mura
I will now read the order
for the final match.
[11:47] Mura
Fujisaki High School, Yamashiro Rion.
[11:49] Kana
What? Yamashiro?
[11:52] Mura
Mizusawa High School, Ayase Chihaya.
[11:54] A
They took out a third-year
Class A player.
[11:56] B
The first game is between
two second-year girls.
[11:58] Z
Wait, isn't that certified reader
Yamashiro's granddaughter?
[12:02] Z
She's a student at Fujisaki?
[12:05] Z
Is that why she agreed to come?
[12:07] Mako
You'll have a lot to answer for
if you lose in the number one seat.
[12:13] Desk
I don't know which girl they'll put in,
[12:16] Desk
but your goal is to become the
strongest girl in Japan, right?
[12:21] Mura
Fujisaki High School, Suzuki Kanata.
[12:23] Mura
Mizusawa High School, Nishida Yusei.
[12:26] Kana
I'll avenge Manata's anguish!
[12:28] Pork
I'll avenge my anguish!
[12:31] Mura
Fujisaki High School, Emuro Ryoga.
[12:34] Mura
Mizusawa High School, Mashima Taichi.
[12:36] I
The two leaders are against each other!
[12:38] J
That's how a final should be!
[12:39] Desk
This was the biggest surprise.
[12:41] (Flashback) Tai
I'll play their captain.
[12:44] Desk
That Mashima, not Ayase, was the
one who took the challenge.
[12:48] Tai
I won't run away.
[12:50] Tai
If it's a team match,
[12:53] Tai
not even Arata can scare me!
[12:55] Mura
Fujisaki High School, Ichimura Mitsuki.
[12:58] Mura
Mizusawa High School, Tsukuba Akihiro.
[13:00] Tsu
If I win here, I'll look so good!
[13:02] Tsu
I'll be a true hero!
[13:05] Ichi
Fox-eyed creature?
[13:06] Tsu
Huh? What?
[13:08] Tsu
Is that a nickname?
[13:08] Tsu
Wait, you've got fox eyes, too!
[13:11] Mura
Fujisaki High School, Yamai Makoto.
[13:14] Mura
Mizusawa High School, Komano Tsutomu.
[13:16] Mako
Oh? You actually made it
to the final, Mr. Spy?
[13:19] Mako
That's impressive,
[13:20] Mako
but you shouldn't expect to win.
[13:22] Mako
That goes for your whole team...
SIGN You should stop blowing at your bangs when you're in trouble.
[13:29] Mura
Next, we have the third place match.
[13:32] Mura
First Akashi Girls' vs. Hokuo Academy.
[13:34] Taku
Huh? Where's Retro?
[13:37] Shi
It should be dry by now.
[13:40] Sho
Stop it!
SIGN Why are you facing us?!
[13:41] Sho
Don't change in front of us!
[13:42] Sho
Give us a warning first!
[13:47] Sho
What?!
[13:48] Sho
What are you?! Who are you?!
[13:49] Sho
Strangers should stay out!
[13:51] Ara
Retro-kun?
[13:54] Ara
Hokuo...
[13:56] Ara
The first place team from Tokyo.
[13:58] Ara
Retro-kun's still playing karuta?
[14:04] (Flashback) Tai
It doesn't matter if I lose
my first match tomorrow...
[14:07] (Flashback) Tai
...as long as we win every match today.
[14:09] Retro
Mashima's so stupid...
[14:12] Retro
Working hard to win team matches
won't get you anywhere.
[14:15] Retro
You want to make Class A
more than anyone else...
[14:17] Retro
Maybe even more than I do.
[14:22] Retro
Wataya-kun...
[14:24] Retro
Aren't you going to cheer them on?
[14:26] Retro
Mashima and Chihaya are playing
to become the best in Japan.
[14:37] Shi
He's talking about becoming first in Japan
[14:39] ---
when it's a match between
high school students.
[14:41] Shi
I'm very impressed.
[14:42] Shi
They must all be very good.
[14:45] Shi
Don't you think so, Arata?
[14:59] Shi
You're still not going?
[15:01] Ara
If I go, I won't be able to play
in the individual tournament.
[15:05] Shi
Oh, so you care more about
the individual tournament.
[15:08] Sho
Arata, don't worry.
[15:10] Sho
The room's so packed that
no one will notice you.
[15:12] Sho
Go on.
[15:13] Sho
Isn't that why you came today?
[15:15] Ara
If I don't accept my punishment
after breaking the rules,
[15:17] Ara
I'll be incurring the
wrath of the gods, Shoji!
[15:23] (Flashback) Retro
Mashima and Chihaya are playing
to become the best in Japan.
[15:31] Sho
Not your pants!
[15:34] Shi
I wish I could be as relaxed as you are.
[15:37] Shi
I'm so nervous about the
tournament tomorrow.
[15:41] Shi
I need to go home.
[15:42] Shi
Goodbye then.
[15:45] Ara
Shinobu-chan.
[15:47] Ara
Won't you watch some of the team match?
[15:50] Ara
Your presence will encourage
some of the players.
[15:55] Shi
You must be joking.
[16:07] Desk
This is...
[16:08] Tsu
U-Ugly!
[16:11] Mako
So many three-syllable cards...
[16:13] Pork
There's only one one-syllable
card on the field.
[16:16] Tai
No "Impassion—" cards.
[16:17] Tai
This will be a tough match for Chihaya.
[16:26] All
Excuse us.
[16:31] A
They're leaving after placing their cards?
[16:33] B
Did they already finish
memorizing the cards?
[16:35] B
That's crazy!
[16:37] Ama
That's how Fujisaki plays.
[16:39] Ama
This way, they always set their own pace.
[16:42] Ama
Don't panic, Mizusawa.
[16:49] Tai
It's no big deal.
[16:51] Desk
We had to play five matches
to reach the final.
[16:53] Desk
The third-years on Fujisaki are also tired.
[16:56] Desk
I think they'll leave their seats
to avoid memorization overload.
[17:00] Desk
The girl who hasn't played yet
will probably remain.
[17:03] Chi
Master Komano, you're incredible.
[17:07] Chi
Karuta is about memorizing and
forgetting over and over...
[17:12] Chi
Memorize and forget...
[17:14] Chi
Memorize and forget...
[17:17] Chi
Forget...
[17:19] Chi
Forget everything...
[17:24] Chi
If I don't forget everything,
[17:28] Chi
I won't be able to defeat a fresh
player in her first match.
[17:32] Mako
Where's Rion?
[17:34] Ero
She's memorizing.
[17:35] Mako
What? Is that okay?
[17:36] Mako
She's not very strong to begin with,
yet she's not going to stretch?
[17:39] Ero
This is optional.
[17:41] Mako
You guys are too soft on Rion.
[17:43] Mako
True, she has incredible talent,
[17:45] Mako
but isn't it creepy how she
never shows any emotion?
[17:48] Mako
Why is she so popular?
[17:49] Mako
Plus, she's still stuck in Class B.
[17:52] Mako
Sure, she's kinda cute.
[17:54] Ichi
Hey, Makoto. I have a girlfriend, you know.
[17:57] Mako
Huh?
[17:57] Kana
Me, too.
[17:58] Mako
Seriously?!
SIGN Good luck, Senpai
[17:59] Kana
I've been dating the first-year
Mano Misaki since spring.
[18:02] Ichi
I've been with Shining Rainbow-chan
since the spring season.
SIGN Anime character
[18:05] Mako
No way!
[18:06] Mako
What about Eromu?!
[18:06] Mako
You're in love with Rion, right?!
[18:10] Ero
Rion has the breasts of an infant.
[18:14] Ero
I need an E-cup at least.
[18:14] Mako
Emuro... I forgot...
SIGN Stop it with the hands
[18:16] Ero
The bigger the better.
[18:16] ---
You're called "Eromu" because
of your erotic nature...
[18:17] Ero
The ass is also important.
[18:19] Kana
I've been thinking.
[18:21] Kana
Isn't it because you're in love with Rion?
SIGN Thump
[18:25] Mako
Huh?! Huh?! Wh-What's that?!
[18:26] Mako
Th-That's disgusting, Kanata!
[18:29] Mako
Who would love that poker face?!
[18:30] Kana
Well...
[18:31] Mako
That girl who just has sharp ears
and no sense of teamwork!
[18:37] Mako
Who was that?
I didn't hear any footsteps.
[18:39] Mako
Scary...
[18:41] Shi
So this is the extent of the
ears of the best team players.
[18:46] Shi
They have fun fooling around together,
so far away from the cards.
[18:51] (Flashback) Ara
Today is a day for teams.
[18:54] Shi
Arata...
[18:57] Shi
Why, Arata?
[19:01] ---
Like cards... Check for like cards...
[19:02] ---
"May the time we," "May the time spent"...
[19:14] Ero
Excuse us.
[19:17] Tai
Even his motions remind me of Arata.
[19:22] Tai
Do all karuta players end up like this?
[19:27] Tai
The grand finale of the team tournament.
[19:30] Tai
I'm up against Fujisaki's Class A captain.
[19:33] Tai
I chose to play against him.
[19:36] Tai
If I beat him, maybe things will change...
[19:40] Ero
I remember you.
[19:42] Ero
You played against one of our
alumni last year in the Class B final.
[19:46] Ero
I remember you.
[19:48] Ero
So...
[19:50] Ero
You're still in Class B?
[19:53] Tai
He drew a line.
[19:58] Tai
He gauged my skill.
[20:01] Ero
Yes, it's such a pity.
[20:04] Ero
I was hoping to see those H-cup
jugs bounce before me,
[20:09] Ero
but it's not meant to be.
[20:10] Ero
Then I'll go with pattern A, where I fantasize
[20:12] ---
about Coach Sakurazawa letting me
feel her F-cup boobies if I win.
[20:17] Mako
Kanata actually thinks
I'm in love with Rion?!
[20:21] Mako
I'm in love with Rion?!
[20:22] Mako
With Rion?!
[20:24] Kana
Manata...
[20:25] Kana
Watch me play, Manata!
[20:27] Ichi
Which one should I use next?
[20:29] Ichi
Saint?
[20:30] Ichi
Rider?
[20:31] Ichi
Fighter?
[20:35] Kana
What's going on?
[20:37] Kana
Why is Fujisaki so relaxed?
[20:40] Mura
We will begin now.
[20:42] All
Thank you for the game.
[20:44] All
Thank you for the game.
[20:50] [POEM] N
Naniwa Bay, now the flower
blooms, but for winter
[20:59] [POEM] N
Here comes spring,
now the flower blooms
[21:03] Chi
It's completely different.
[21:06] Chi
This is the sound of
a certified reader.
[21:09] Chi
This is the final.
[21:12] [POEM] N
Here comes spring,
now the flower blooms
[21:22] Chi
This is our grand finale!
