[01:51] Guy
    I can't believe Harada-san
    has the Master in check!
[01:54] Guy
    Just one more card, and he'll
    have the three wins he needs.
[01:57] Guy
    Even if he loses, there's still the fifth match.
[01:59] Guy
    The Master's got his back to the wall.
[02:01] Guy
    Is Suo-kun finally going down?
[02:03] Guy
    What a relief! That weirdo
    was such a headache.
[02:07] Guy
    But then again...
[02:11] Guy
    There's no doubt Master Harada
    would be quite a headache, too...
SIGN    Now that I have this, I'm not giving it to anyone!!
[02:23] Harada
    The only cards left are "Since I," "As my,"
[02:26] Harada
    "May the time we," "May the time
    spent," and "May the scarlet."
[02:32] Harada
    Think hard.
[02:35] Harada
    I definitely have a feeling that

[02:37] Harada
    the "May the time spent"
    I sent to Suo-kun won't be read.

    But...

[02:41] Harada
    The "May the scarlet" that I still have...
[02:44] [POEM] Komine
    May the scarlet kadsuras...
[02:46] Harada
    ...is the card I took to win our
    luck-of-the-draw in the first match.
[02:52] Harada
    Would the same thing happen twice?

[02:55] Harada
    It's the card known as the Master's card
SIGN    Master
[02:58] Harada
    because it contains the two characters
    in the word for "Master."
[03:01] Harada
    Is my desire to be the Master
    making me believe that it will be read?
[03:08] Harada
    And "May the time spent" and
    "May the time we" aside,
[03:12] Harada
    could Master Suo recognize "May the scarlet"
    on the "the" and come after it?

    Excuse me.

    either card is just as likely to

[03:58] Harada
    Sorry about that.

    So let's just take all of it in...

    The Master...
[04:30] Taichi
    didn't even move.
[04:32] Harada
    But what...
[04:34] Harada
    did I just sense coming this way?
[04:37] Chihaya
    Taichi, Taichi. I think we can
    move up to the front.
[04:40] Chihaya
    There's some space.
[04:42] Kitano
    Harada has the advantage with his two wins?
[04:45] Kitano
    Does he really?
[04:47] Kitano
    Given his physical condition, he might
    not make it through a fifth match.
[04:50] Kitano
    He's the one with his back to the wall!
[04:54] Kitano
    If he doesn't take the win here,

    his chances of becoming the Master are...
[05:00] [POEM] Komine
    As my love first...
[05:01] Chihaya
    Again... the Master didn't move.
[05:04] Chihaya
    How can he be so calm about this?
[05:06] Chihaya
    Is he that confident in his hearing?

    Still, he's moving this way.

    and card 100 was "May the time spent"...
[06:35] Komine
    This is what it came down to?

[06:38] Komine
    Harada-san is to be commended for guessing
    that "May the scarlet" would come first,

    It's time for your interview

    You can just give them a
    quick greeting like always.
[07:20] Shinobu
    What happened in the Master match?
[07:22] Mom
    I'm not sure...
[07:23] Guy
    Numbered tickets for the fifth
    match are distributed here.
[07:26] Shinobu
    If they're having a fifth match,
    that means the Master won.
[07:30] Shinobu
    Where were you even looking, Mom?
[07:32] Mom
    I don't care about that.
[07:34] Mom
    And I know you don't, either.
[07:38] Mom
    Goodness, what an unsightly tasuki.
[07:42] Mom
    Let's make sure you have
    a proper one next time.
[08:00] Chihaya
    Why...
[08:02] Chihaya
    Why couldn't I have been born male?
[08:06] Chihaya
    I want... I want to teach him a lesson.
[08:10] Chihaya
    I want to beat him.
[08:11] Chihaya
    I can't accept the fact that
    someone like him is the Master!
[08:15] Chihaya
    The idea that he's the strongest person
[08:18] Chihaya
    in the entire world of the karuta I love!
[08:22] Lady
    Now, let's hear Wakamiya-san's
    impressions of the Queen match,
[08:25] Lady
    where she just defended her title.
[08:28] Lady
    Congratulations!
[08:30] Shinobu
    Thank you.
[08:32] Lady
    You did drop your first ever round
     in a Queen match.
[08:35] Shinobu
    That's true.
[08:37] Nishida
    Another mindless comment with
    no thought put into it!
[08:41] Nishida
    I'll never forget her comments
    after playing Yumin!
[08:44] Shinobu
    Inokuma Haruka-san has a strength that
    makes me glad I played against her.
[08:52] Shinobu
    That one loss was tough...
[08:59] Shinobu
    But it's like you announcers always say.
[09:01] Lady
    Huh?
[09:02] Shinobu
    Every victory is thanks to
    the people beside you.
[09:05] Lady
    You've said that every year yourself...
[09:08] Shinobu
    I was just winging it.
[09:10] All
    Huh?!
[09:11] Shinobu
    This year, I did feel a bit like I won
    because of who was beside me.
[09:21] Shinobu
    I'm kind of looking forward to
    next year's Queen match.
[09:28] (Flashback) Chihaya
    Let's play karuta again!
[09:30] (Flashback) Shinobu
    When?
[09:31] (Flashback) Chihaya
    The Queen match!
[09:38] Chihaya
    The one I have to fight
[09:41] Chihaya
    is the one other player who's the
    strongest in the world of the karuta I love.
[09:46] Chihaya
    That's all.
[09:49] Chihaya
    That's all I need!

    As for the Master,

    for your answer.
[10:24] Chihaya
    My answer?
[10:25] Chihaya
    I can't... I can't answer you yet, Arata.

[13:08] Uozumi
    Part of it is that he's shaved, but also...
[13:11] Kitano
    I don't like this at all.
SIGN    Is the Master gonna run away with the win? The Master's finally getting serious in the fifth match?! The Master looks like a different person now!! What'll happen? Who's gonna win?? Don't lose, bear! So polite... Harada-saaaaaan! Don't loooooose!! Good luck, Master
[13:14] Kitano
    Impolite guys aren't scary.
[13:18] Kitano
    They'll always get careless.
[13:20] Kitano
    But...
[13:22] Kitano
    People who behave politely
    are harder to deal with.
[13:26] Kitano
    A show of respect is also a show of fear.
[13:28] Kinano
    Suo-kun won't be showing Harada
    any further weakness.
SIGN    What's the differential now? What'd he do with his whiskers lolol The Master's so fast Is he finally gonna finish this now?
[13:32] Kitano
    Just look at his bearing.
[13:35] Kitano
    It looks like Harada has made
    the Master truly be the Master.
[13:42] Harada
    It's not over yet.
[13:44] Harada
    I still have a chance. If I just
    play each card carefully...
[13:51] Harada
    I'll get closer than anyone
    to where you currently are!
[13:55] Harada
    What kind of karuta will you play in
    the last stages of the fifth match?
[14:00] Harada
    I'll figure it out!
[14:03] Chihaya
    Dr. Harada...
[14:05] Suo
    You can't.
[14:08] Chihaya
    Dr. Harada, I...

    What sort of person are you?
[14:13] Harada
    What can you do, and what can't you do?
[14:17] Chihaya
    I got hurt by Suo-san's words,
[14:20] Chihaya
    so I ran and tattled to you about his eyes.
[14:24] Chihaya
    Every thought of Suo-san has been
    accompanied by dark feelings.
[14:29] Uozumi
    Harada, grade 6, is playing well.

    But it's fine.

    The winner of the fifth match,
    by twelve cards, is Master Suo.

    With three wins and two losses,
    Master Suo has defended his title.
[15:39] Guy
    So the Master is still Suo-kun...
[15:42] Guy
    That really kept me on edge, though.
[15:44] Guy
    But the Master's retiring now, right?
[15:47] Guy
    That's a relief.

    A relief... That's true.

    couldn't knock him off his throne.
