[00:02] [POEM] N
    My only thought as
[00:04] Rion
    I don't think so!
[00:07] [POEM] N
    I am put out to sea is
    to ask the fishermen
[00:17] Desk
    Is she hurt?
[00:20] Tai
    Chihaya, too?!
[00:20] Mura
    Are you okay?
[00:25] Chi
    Yes, I'm okay.
[00:31] Chi
    What's wrong?
[00:32] Chi
    Why does it hurt like this?
[00:36] Chi
    Didn't I just jam it?
[00:39] Chi
    What is this?
[00:40] Chi
    What's wrong?
[00:42] Pork
    Ayase...
[00:44] Pork
    Ayase, you can't hide it from me.
[00:47] Pork
    I'm right next to you.
[00:50] Pork
    Two girls have gotten injured
    playing their hearts out.
[00:53] Pork
    I keep losing when it counts,
[00:55] Pork
    and I'm behind Mr. Excavator right now.
[00:58] Pork
    When am I going to come through?!
[01:00] Pork
    It has to be now!
[01:03] Pork
    Excuse me.
[01:20] Tai
    The passion...
[01:22] Tai
    The passion always
    comes from Chihaya,
[01:27] Tai
    but this feels different.
[01:32] Tai
    I can feel something burning
    in my chest like magma.
[01:44] Tai
    I know what this is.
[01:47] Tai
    This is how it feels
[01:49] ---
    when five people refuse to give up!
SIGN    Chihaya Furu
SIGN    Episode 18
SIGN    My
    fear
    is
    that
    you
    will
    forget
[03:08] Kana
    Chihaya-chan is down six cards.
[03:10] Kana
    Porky is down three cards.
[03:12] Kana
    President Mashima is down four cards.
[03:14] Kana
    Tsukuba-kun and Desktomu-kun
    are both down seven cards.
[03:18] Kana
    Everyone's losing,
[03:20] Kana
    but I can feel
[03:24] Kana
    their refusal to give up!
[03:29] Saku
    It's time for you to learn
[03:31] Saku
    that there are times when spirit
    isn't enough to cut it.
[03:34] [POEM] N
    A mountain village grows...
[03:40] Tai
    He's good,
[03:42] Tai
    but he's not as good as Arata.
[03:46] Tai
    Why do I feel that way?
SIGN    What's with
     his hands...
[03:50] Tai
    Arata's definitely better than he is!
[03:55] Tai
    Arata...
[03:57] Tai
    I'm happy when I forget you,
[03:59] Tai
    but then I feel encouraged
    when I remember you.
[04:02] Tai
    I'm no good.
[04:04] Tai
    I'm a bad forgetter.
[04:07] Ero
    Coach Sakurazawa's F-cup boobies...
[04:09] Ero
    Coach Sakurazawa's F-cup boobies...
[04:10] Tai
    Excuse me.
[04:13] Ero
    Again?
[04:17] Tai
    17 cards to 12 cards.
[04:20] Tai
    I'm down by five.
[04:22] (Flashback) Hara
    Let's get started.
[04:25] (Flashback) Hara
    You've improved, Eyelashes.
[04:28] (Flashback) Hara
    I'll spot you a 5 card handicap starting today.
[04:31] Tai
    Dr. Harada started with
    five more cards than I did
[04:34] Tai
    on the first practice match of the day.
[04:37] Tai
    The memorization left over from
    the prior four matches today
[04:39] Tai
    and the card movements during this match
[04:41] Tai
    will go away!
[04:48] Tai
    Excuse me.
[04:50] Tai
    I'll spot you...
[04:52] [POEM] N
    when people and grass grow scarce
[05:00] Hara
    I'll spot you...
[05:02] Both
    ...a 5 card handicap!
[05:05] Kana
    That's the best swing I've seen
    from the Prez this match!
[05:10] Tai
    Now...
[05:12] Tai
    Let's get started.
[05:21] Desk
    H-He's good.
[05:23] Desk
    I can't do anything against him.
[05:26] Desk
    I doubt I'll be able to win my game.
[05:29] Desk
    It won't be that easy.
[05:31] Desk
    I want to overcome...
[05:33] Desk
    I want to overcome my own analysis.
[05:37] Pork
    "So spring nights," "So spring ends."
[05:39] Pork
    "So the flower has," "So the flower petals."
[05:41] Pork
    Plenty of similar cards remaining.
[05:44] Pork
    Extend and retract.
[05:46] Pork
    Extend and retract.
[05:49] Pork
    "Feel sorrow."
[05:50] Pork
    "Feel love" is a dead card,
    so I want to be careful.
[05:53] Pork
    If I hear "sorrow," I have to attack.
[05:56] Pork
    I have to take it.
[05:58] Pork
    Repeatedly check the card so my
    body remembers the path to take.
[06:01] Pork
    Take it.
[06:03] Pork
    Take the card, Tsukuba.
[06:06] Ichi
    The Zodiac series is magnificent.
[06:08] Ichi
    If that card's read, I'll go Virgo.
[06:10] Ichi
    If it's that card, I'll go Libra.
[06:12] Tsu
    He's weird.
[06:13] Tsu
    He's weird and he's not
    taking me seriously.
[06:18] Tsu
    He's using those pointless
    poses to scare me
[06:21] Tsu
    while taking my cards!
[06:23] Tsu
    I can't become a hero like this!
[06:28] (Flashback) Pork
    There are two cards you
    absolutely have to be good at.
[06:33] (Flashback) Tsu
    "Feel love deepen" and "Feel sorrow wash"?
[06:36] (Flashback) Chi
    I'm good at both of those.
[06:38] (Flashback) Tai
    Same here.
[06:38] (Flashback) Desk
    Ditto.
[06:39] (Flashback) Kana
    I won't lose those cards, either.
[06:41] (Flashback) Kana
    "Feel sorrow" was a poem by Oe no
    Chisato about pale moonlight.
[06:47] (Flashback) Kana
    When looking at the moon, you
    will be overcome by sorrow,
[06:51] (Flashback) Kana
    as you realize that autumn belongs to...
[06:53] Tsu
    I don't really understand how you can
[06:56] ---
    get sentimental about
    looking at the moon,
[06:59] Tsu
    but...
[07:00] [POEM] N
    Feel sorrow wash...
[07:06] Tsu
    When I see a card that I've practiced
    constantly on the tatami,
[07:10] Tsu
    I get a confidence boost!
[07:12] Miya
    He got it!
[07:13] Sumi
    He did it!
[07:14] ---
    Now things are going our way!
[07:23] Kana
    Chihaya-chan.
[07:24] Kana
    Seven cards in a row!
[07:26] Kana
    She's cut the deficit down to three!
[07:29] N
    Amazing...
[07:31] Saku
    Lacking experience playing under pressure.
[07:35] Saku
    Rion...
[07:36] Rion
    She's getting faster.
[07:39] Rion
    What about her injury?
[07:40] Rion
    Is she not really hurt?
[07:43] Chi
    It's not often that you get to play an
    opponent with such amazing game sense.
[07:47] Chi
    Yama-chan, give me the best you've got.
[07:51] Chi
    That's what I'm doing.
[07:55] [POEM] N
    My fear is that you will forget...
[07:57] Mako
    What is Rion doing?!
[07:59] Mako
    She guaranteed that she
    would win her game!
SIGN    Uh, have you chosen a card to send?
[08:07] Mako
    Doesn't matter!
[08:08] Mako
    Take this one!
[08:15] Mako
    I love everything that is beautiful.
SIGN    No to outdoors
[08:19] Mako
    That's why I chose not to participate
    in sports that would get me dirty.
SIGN    No to getting sweaty
SIGN    Stretching?
[08:23] Mako
    I didn't know that karuta was
    just as intense until after
SIGN    Jogging?
SIGN    It'll help
    keep you
    beautiful
[08:25] ---
    I was already hooked.
[08:28] Mako
    But...
[08:33] Mako
    While most players slap
    away at the cards,
[08:37] Mako
    Rion was special.
[08:39] Mako
    She was beautiful.
[08:44] Mako
    Win, Rion!
[08:46] Mako
    If you can't win in such
    favorable circumstances,
[08:49] ---
    you'll get picked on again!
[08:51] Mako
    By me!
[08:58] Both
    Thank you very much.
[09:00] Both
    Thank you very much.
[09:02] Mako
    One win for Fujisaki!
[09:05] Mako
    Focus, Rion!
[09:12] Desk
    He doesn't blow at his bangs
    when he's in trouble.
[09:17] Desk
    It's a signal that he's about to get serious.
[09:19] Desk
    My analysis was incomplete.
[09:22] Desk
    I wasn't up to the task...
[09:25] Desk
    This is the strength of a Fujisaki third-year!
[09:35] N
    You're very fortunate, Rion.
[09:37] N
    I was worried that it would be unfair
    for me to participate as a reader,
[09:44] N
    but your opponent's game sense rivals yours.
[09:47] N
    I thought he was the only one
    out there capable of that.
[09:52] (Flashback) Suo
    Kyo...
[09:53] (Flashback) Suo
    Yamashiro Kyoko-san...
[09:56] (Flashback) Suo
    Please allow me to record your reading.
[10:03] [POEM] N
    but instead you see a pale
    moon in the dawn sky
[10:12] [POEM] N
    Said world...
[10:15] (Flashback) Kana
    Chihaya-chan, "Said
    world grants no escape"
[10:18] (Flashback) ---
    and "Said world grants no change" are
    the same up to the fourth syllable,
[10:20] (Flashback) Kana
    but they have completely different meanings.
[10:23] (Flashback) Kana
    You could say they're different
    as light and dark.
[10:27] [POEM] Kana
    Said world grants no escape,
    I hide in the mountains,
[10:30] [POEM] Kana
    only to hear the haunting cry of a deer
[10:32] (Flashback) Kana
    It invokes the image of a dead end.
[10:36] [POEM] Kana
    Said world grants no change, I pray,
[10:39] [POEM] Kana
    when the fisherman who casts
    his nets can seem dear
[10:42] (Flashback) Kana
    You can feel a longing for the eternal.
[10:46] [POEM] N
    Said world
[10:50] [POEM] N
    grants no change, I pray,
[10:52] Mura
    No way!
[10:53] Mura
    They both moved before the
    unique syllable was read!
[10:55] Mura
    "Said world grants no escape" is still in play!
[10:57] Mura
    Were they gambling?
[10:59] Mura
    That's the only possible explanation.
[11:02] Chi
    Same time.
[11:03] Chi
    So close.
[11:04] Chi
    It was on Yama-chan's side, so she gets it.
[11:08] Chi
    There's something very
    wrong about this pain.
[11:11] Chi
    Ignore it!
[11:13] Chi
    But it hurts!
[11:14] Chi
    It hurts...
[11:16] Chi
    Ignore it!
[11:30] Chi
    Why...
[11:33] Chi
    Why do I think it was Arata who
    brought Shinobu-chan here?
[11:38] (Flashback) Ara
    I'm not interested in team tournaments.
[11:42] (Flashback) Ara
    I'm focused on winning the
    individual tournament.
[11:46] Chi
    I might not be able to play in
    the individual tournament.
[11:50] Chi
    I might not get to play
    Arata or Shinobu-chan.
[11:55] Chi
    But!
[12:15] Tai
    We all feel the same way.
[12:21] Tai
    In this team match,
[12:22] Tai
    we're only focused on winning!
[12:28] Sho
    Like I was saying!
[12:29] Sho
    We lost because we didn't
    have enough members.
[12:33] Sho
    Adult tournaments are
    dominated by Fukui,
[12:36] Sho
    so there should be plenty
    of experienced players.
[12:38] A
    I guess.
[12:40] Ara
    Can I go to the restroom?
[12:42] Sho
    Yeah, sure.
[12:43] Sho
    Go ahead.
[12:45] A
    How many experienced players
    are in our high school?
[12:49] Sho
    I'll do some research
    when next term starts.
[13:05] Ara
    I can feel the air grow thinner
[13:08] Ara
    as the number of cards on the
    tatami dwindles towards the end.
[13:15] Ara
    Who will it be?
[13:18] Ara
    Who will it be?
[13:22] Ara
    Who will be the next to win
[13:23] Ara
    and take a breath?
[13:28] A
    The championship match is intense,
[13:30] A
    but all five games in the third-place
    match are within three cards.
[13:33] A
    This is big!
[13:35] A
    They aren't backing down.
[13:37] A
    Both schools came here
    to win the tournament.
[13:41] A
    They can no longer accomplish that goal,
[13:42] ---
    yet their spirits haven't broken?
SIGN    Feels the presence of a serpent
[13:57] A
    It's the same with everything.
[13:59] A
    The main reason people continue
    to fight after losing...
[14:02] [POEM] N
    After I determined to abandon...
[14:04] A
    is because other people
    are still watching.
[14:07] B
    Defended!
[14:08] Megu
    Same here!
[14:09] C
    Nice job, Megumu!
[14:11] Megu
    Take the next one, team!
[14:13] Shi
    I feel sick.
[14:15] Retro
    I took one!
[14:16] B
    Keep attacking, Shiroyama!
[14:17] Ama
    Stay focused!
[14:19] Ama
    Hokuo will win!
[14:20] All
    Yeah!
[14:21] Shi
    I feel sick.
[14:24] Shi
    I should have left...
[14:28] (Flashback) C
    I won another close game.
[14:30] (Flashback) C
    Shinobu-chan, that makes us rivals.
[14:34] (Flashback) A
    Shinobu-chan, play against
    Ryuusei-kun next.
[14:41] (Flashback) A
    We should keep Shinobu-chan
    away from children her age.
[14:45] (Flashback) A
    She'll learn to go easy on her opponents.
[14:48] (Flashback) A
    The more alone she is,
    the stronger she'll become.
[14:54] Shi
    Why am I remembering this now?
[15:00] Shi
    I should have left.
[15:03] Shi
    But...
[15:04] [POEM] N
    is that I have no way
    to tell you in person
[15:14] [POEM] N
    While it may be beyond...
[15:16] Mura
    Who won that one?
[15:18] Mura
    Was it the Fujisaki player?
[15:21] Mura
    I'm standing right next to
    them and it's still hard...
[15:25] Mura
    I will make the call on that last play.
[15:28] Chi
    Thank you very much.
[15:30] Mura
    Neither of them are contesting the card,
[15:32] ---
    so this isn't the typical time
    for a referee to step in,
[15:34] Mura
    but I want to let them focus.
[15:37] Mura
    It's rare for two players
    with such amazing game sense
[15:39] ---
    to play one another.
[15:45] Miya
    You need to move back.
[15:48] Kana
    Rion's having a hard time!
[15:51] Kana
    I should have played instead.
[15:53] Kana
    The coach made the wrong decision!
[15:57] Saku
    The match started off with plenty of
[15:59] ---
    three-syllable cards and
    very few one-syllable cards.
[16:03] Saku
    Rion had the advantage,
[16:05] ---
    given her familiarity with the
    voice of Yamashiro, rank 7.
[16:08] Saku
    At least in the early game.
[16:10] Saku
    She should have pressed that advantage
    to seal the game away early.
[16:14] Saku
    What will you do now, Rion?
[16:16] Saku
    There are one-syllable cards everywhere.
[16:19] [POEM] N
    So the flower has wilted...
[16:21] Rion
    I've never lost a match with
    Grandma as the reader.
[16:25] Rion
    I was convinced
[16:27] ---
    that I could defeat the Queen
    if Grandma was reading.
[16:31] (Flashback) Mako
    You'll have a lot to answer for if
    you lose in the number one seat.
[16:35] Rion
    No...
[16:37] Rion
    I don't want to lose!
[16:39] Rion
    I don't want to lose!
[16:42] (Flashback) Ara
    Shinobu-chan...
[16:45] (Flashback) Ara
    We don't belong to teams,
[16:48] (Flashback) ---
    so we can only focus on
    making ourselves stronger.
[16:51] (Flashback) Ara
    Our love for karuta is real,
[16:54] (Flashback) Ara
    but think about it:
[16:57] (Flashback) Ara
    Our beloved world of karuta can only grow
[17:01] (Flashback) Ara
    through the recruiting,
[17:03] (Flashback) Ara
    teaching,
[17:05] (Flashback) Ara
    and encouraging of new players.
[17:07] (Flashback) Ara
    It's team players who keep this game alive.
[17:11] (Flashback) Shi
    Doesn't matter.
[17:13] (Flashback) Shi
    It's got nothing to do with me.
[17:17] (Flashback) Shi
    Nobody will ever take me seriously.
[17:21] (Flashback) Shi
    Nobody...
[17:22] (Flashback) All
    Please wait!
[17:56] Miya
    Ayase-san,
[17:58] Miya
    Nishida-kun, and Tsukuba-kun
    are all doing their best...
[18:01] Miya
    against Fujisaki!
[18:10] Miya
    Mashima-kun is still down by 5 cards!
[18:12] Miya
    He can't catch up!
[18:15] Kana
    That early mistake is making a difference.
[18:16] Kana
    He stabilized midway through the
    game and made some good plays,
[18:21] Kana
    but his luck is still terrible!
[18:24] Kana
    He wants to attack, but the last five
    cards have all been on his side!
[18:31] Tai
    I can see why this guy is their captain.
[18:36] Tai
    He doesn't over-memorize.
[18:39] Tai
    It's something I'm too scared to try.
[18:42] Tai
    He wasn't targeting the
    two cards I just lost.
[18:47] Tai
    He moved his body halfway
[18:49] ---
    across the field before making his move,
[18:51] Tai
    and I still lost.
[18:53] Tai
    He covers on two-syllable cards.
[18:55] Tai
    If I press the issue,
    he manages to block me.
[18:57] Tai
    He doesn't commit faults.
[19:00] Tai
    He's got confidence and the
    stamina to back it up.
[19:04] Tai
    Damn...
[19:05] Tai
    We're both on our fifth match.
[19:10] Tai
    The last five cards
    have been on my side.
[19:13] Tai
    Should I focus on defending
    the seven cards on my side
[19:17] ---
    instead of attacking the
    two on the opponent's side?
SIGN    Living Ghost
[19:24] Tai
    I don't need you, Dr. Harada.
[19:27] Hara
    What?!
[19:30] Tai
    When in trouble...
[19:32] [POEM] N
    As the years pass...
[19:33] Tai
    Go lower right!
[19:35] Tai
    Yes!
[19:37] Sumi
    He got it!
[19:39] Kana
    He wasn't blindly attacking
    the lower right!
[19:41] Kana
    "As my" is still in play, so he
    covered before taking it!
[19:44] Kana
    He was able to block his opponent!
[19:46] Kana
    Amazing!
[19:49] Kana
    Tsukuba-kun...
[19:53] Ichi
    Thank you very much.
[19:54] Tsu
    Thank you very much.
[19:58] Tsu
    Damn it. Damn it.
[20:01] Tsu
    So you know how to use proper technique.
SIGN    Shining Rainbow
[20:04] Tsu
    You were just toying with me.
[20:10] Ichi
    You're pretty good.
[20:13] Ichi
    You forced me to use
[20:16] Ichi
    my Second Gear!
SIGN    Not happy
[20:22] Kana
    Tsukuba-kun, please win for me.
[20:28] A
    Two wins for Fujisaki!
[20:29] B
    Good!
[20:30] C
    One more win!
[20:31] D
    One more win for the championship!
[20:32] All
    Yeah!
[20:33] Desk
    Mizusawa's down 0 to 2.
[20:37] A
    This is tough.
[20:38] B
    Fujisaki's got this in the bag.
[20:41] C
    It's impressive that they
[20:42] ---
    came out of nowhere to
    make the grand finale.
[20:45] D
    They're strong.
[20:47] D
    That makes it a five-peat for Fujisaki.
[20:50] Tai
    I'm sending a card.
SIGN    the cresting waves almost look like clouds in the skies
[20:55] Ero
    A multi-syllable card?
[20:58] Ero
    "My only thought as I" was already read,
[21:00] Ero
    so this is now a two-syllable card.
[21:03] Ero
    You won't be able to surprise me.
[21:05] Ero
    I'm sticking to my usual playing style.
[21:07] A
    This is painful.
[21:08] A
    It would be most gratifying
    if Mizusawa was able
[21:11] ---
    to secure a single win from
    the dominating Fujisaki.
[21:14] Tai
    Three wins.
[21:17] Tai
    We're getting three wins, guys.
