    and you never lose heart.
[00:04] Suo
    You have friends, and even a boyfriend.
[00:06] Suo
    And you want to be Queen, too?
[00:11] Suo
    You can't.

    Please play me next, Master!
[00:25] Shusaku
    Sudo-kun, did you lose?
[00:27] Sudo
    I won! Two to nothing!
[00:29] Sudo
    But just barely, damn it.
[00:32] Suo
    No. I have no reason to.

    You can't.
[02:24] Suo
    When I see someone as straight as
    an arrow, I want to bend them.
[02:28] Taichi
    Don't verbally bend someone who didn't
    bend to you during your match!

    I'm going to start now.

    Suo-san won by 14 cards.
[03:02] Reader
    That was his target number.
SIGN    He's as nasty as ever
[03:04] Reader
    But that kid didn't commit
    a single fault against him.
[03:07] Reader
    How long has it been since that happened?
[03:10] Reader
    Suo-san was made to take 25 cards the legit way.
[03:17] Taichi
    Thanks a lot. We appreciate your help.
[03:20] Guy
    You two really are good.
[03:22] Girl
    This was fun! We should—
[03:23] Suo
    Give Dr. Harada my regards.
[03:26] Suo
    And...
[03:28] Suo
    Don't come again.
[03:39] Taichi
    Crap, sorry.
[03:40] Taichi
    I forgot something.
[03:42] Taichi
    I'll be a while,

[03:58] Guy
    See ya.
[04:02] Taichi
    Suo-san!
[04:07] Taichi
    Can we do a review of our match?
[04:10] Girl
    A review?
[04:12] Girl
    Like when go and shogi players
    analyze a match in depth by re-enacting it?
[04:15] Girl
    Not many karuta players do that, right?
[04:17] Suo
    No. I have no reason to.
[04:20] Suo
    In fact, I hate you.
[04:22] Suo
    Go home with your girlfriend.
[04:25] Taichi
    She's not actually my girlfriend.

    in the middle of a packed train.
[04:47] Chihaya
    I'll never use earbuds.
[04:49] Chihaya
    And if I ever need headphones,
    I'll keep them at the minimum volume.
[04:52] Chihaya
    My ears are my life.
[04:56] (Flashback) Suo
    You're pretty, positive,
    and you never lose heart.

    You have friends, and even a boyfriend.
[05:00] (Flashback) Suo
    And you want to be Queen, too?
[05:03] (Flashback) Suo
    You can't.
[05:05] Chihaya
    What boyfriend?
[05:06] Suo
    You can't.
[05:09] (Flashback) Suo
    You can't.
[05:15] Chihaya
    The Master...
[05:17] Chihaya
    His game sense is extraordinary.
[05:20] Chihaya
    He's a genius.
[05:25] Harada
    Chihaya-chan? What brings
    you here at this hour?
[05:29] Chihaya
    Dr. Harada, I think I figured it out!
[05:34] Chihaya
    Suo-san's weakness!
[05:54] Harada
    Did you really feel that?
[05:57] Harada
    But is that a weakness?
    Considering it's Suo-kun...
[06:02] Harada
    it could also be a strength.
[06:06] Harada
    I'll take you home.
[06:09] Harada
    I'm surprised Suo-kun played a
    practice match with you, though.
[06:13] Harada
    What's the world coming to?
[06:16] Harada
    I hear he's been hanging
    around Queen Wakamiya, too.
[06:18] Harada
    You'd better stay alert.
[06:20] (Flashback) Suo
    And you want to be Queen, too?
[06:26] Harada
    Chihaya-chan.
[06:28] Harada
    Don't tell anyone what
    you just told me, okay?
[06:31] Chihaya
    You don't think it would be helpful?
[06:34] Harada
    For the time being...
[06:36] Harada
    I want to make sure it only helps me!

    The teacher isn't putting much

[07:21] Girl
    She just thinks we're all little rich girls.
[07:23] Girl
    But you've got it good, Wakamiya-san.
    You're the Queen of karuta!
[07:27] Girl
    I heard they're not broadcasting
    this year's match on TV.
[07:30] Girl
    Too bad. Not that I ever watched it.

    I haven't had enough practice

[07:43] Shinobu
    The challenger in the Queen match
    is Inokuma Haruka, grade 6,
[07:47] Shinobu
    a former Queen who defended
    her title several times.
[07:50] Shinobu
    I met her once.
[07:52] Shinobu
    The air she had about her wasn't normal.
[07:54] Shinobu
    It was so easy to make the

    Are you doing the same, President Mashima?
[09:02] Taichi
    Huh? Uh, no...
[09:04] Taichi
    I'm...
[09:10] Chihaya
    Hey, Taichi...
[09:11] Chihaya
    How did playing against
    Suo-san feel to you?
[09:14] Taichi
    Huh? I guess it felt...
[09:18] Taichi
    like a struggle.
[09:22] Taichi
    In the seven minutes we spent
    walking to the station...
[09:27] (Flashback) Suo
    There are only four outcomes in karuta, right?
[09:31] Taichi
    The four outcomes...
[09:33] Taichi
    You take cards, your opponent takes cards,
[09:37] Taichi
    you make mistakes, or your
    opponent makes mistakes.
[09:42] Taichi
    Dr. Harada uses some tricky techniques,
[09:44] Taichi
    but his offensive karuta means his style
    is to be the one taking cards.
[09:48] Taichi
    That's the same for most players.
[09:51] Taichi
    Chihaya and Arata, too.
[09:55] (Flashback) Suo
    You had zero faults today.
[09:59] (Flashback) Suo
    You...
[10:00] (Flashback) Suo
    give me a bad feeling.
[10:05] Taichi
    Making your opponent mess up...
[10:08] Taichi
    There's a style which focuses on that alone,
[10:11] Taichi
    and there's a part of me that finds it appealing.

    Coach Kitano again?
[18:25] Kitano
    Unbelievable! Absolutely unbelievable!
[18:27] Nishida
    He's bitter because he didn't get a
    New Year's card from Dr. Harada.
[18:29] Kitano
    I can't believe that Harada!

    Ever since he told me he loved me,
[20:01] Chihaya
    my stomach and fingers feel warm
    all the time. It's just weird.
[20:05] Chihaya
    Arata's making me all weird.
