[00:07] Chi
    You made it to Class A, Taichi.
[00:11] (Flashback) Tai
    I was playing a third-year from Fujisaki.
[00:13] (Flashback) Tai
    I only lost by three cards.
[00:16] (Flashback) Tai
    Second place.
[00:18] (Flashback) Tai
    I did good enough.
[00:21] (Flashback) Tai
    Come on!
[00:22] (Flashback) Tai
    Come on! Come on! Come on! Come on!
[00:24] (Flashback) Tai
    Read it! Read it! Read it! Read it!
[00:26] (Flashback) Tai
    Give it! Give it! Give it! Give it! Give it!
SIGN    I do not know where this love will take me
[00:28] (Flashback) Tai
    Come on! Come on! Come on! Come on!
[00:33] Chi
    You did it...
[00:36] Chi
    You did it, Taichi.
[00:39] Chi
    Congratulations!
SIGN    Chihaya Furu
SIGN    Verse 24
SIGN    When
    I
    must
    hide...
[01:58] Chi
    Congratulations!
[02:02] Tai
    Stop crying, Chihaya. Stand up.
[02:04] Tai
    We need to get going
    before their match ends!
[02:08] Tai
    Come on...
[02:11] Tai
    Stupid, stand still.
[02:20] Chi
    Taichi's Class A now.
[02:23] Chi
    That means...
[02:26] Chi
    he's a rival!
[02:38] Kana
    Y-You can go on.
[02:40] Kana
    We'll stay to cheer for Desktomu-kun.
[02:43] Chi
    No, I'm the captain.
[02:46] Chi
    I have to support Mizusawa—
[02:49] Tai
    Thanks.
[02:50] Tai
    Let's go, Chihaya.
[03:03] Kana
    Hanano-san.
[03:05] Kana
    "When I must hide" is a beautiful poem, isn't it?
[03:08] Sumi
    Huh? What poem is that?
[03:09] Sumi
    Oh, they're starting. Be quiet.
[03:13] Sumi
    Oe-senpai is so strange.
[03:16] Sumi
    She brings out poems like
    they're candy or remedies.
SIGN    When I must hide these burning
    feelings, I feel as though my body
    is on fire with Ibuki mugwort
[03:23] Sumi
    You know nothing about
[03:27] Sumi
    these feelings of mine that burn as if on fire.
[03:33] Tsu
    Got it! Yeah!
[03:36] Both
    Huh?
[03:37] Tsu
    Yes! One more card!
[03:39] Sumi
    What?!
[03:40] Sumi
    Tsukuba made it to the Class D finals?!
SIGN    Only person who noticed
[03:45] Sumi
    I had no idea!
[03:53] [POEM] Sumi
    When I must hide these burning feelings,
[03:59] [POEM] Sumi
    I feel as though my body is
    on fire with Ibuki mugwort
[04:04] Tai
    We didn't have many dead cards
[04:05] ---
    in our match on the first floor,
[04:07] Tai
    so the second floor should still be going.
[04:10] Tai
    I hope we can get into the Urayasu room.
[04:25] Tai
    What's wrong, Chihaya?
[04:27] Chi
    I'm going back downstairs
    to cheer for Desktomu-kun.
[04:31] Tai
    Huh? What are you talking about?
[04:33] Tai
    The Queen and Arata are playing!
[04:35] Tai
    Don't you want to watch their match?!
[04:40] Tai
    Chihaya...
[04:44] Chi
    Why?
[04:46] Chi
    I wanted to watch their match so badly.
[04:49] Chi
    Why?
[04:51] Chi
    I'm scared.
[04:54] Kuri
    Oh, sorry.
[04:55] Kuri
    There's no room inside with all the
    people watching the Class A final.
[05:00] Chi
    Oh, really...
[05:02] Saku
    Mr. Kuriyama,
[05:04] Saku
    is there really no room inside?
[05:06] Kuri
    Midori-chan.
[05:09] Saku
    Can you squeeze us in?
[05:10] Kuri
    Oh, hold on.
[05:18] Saku
    You two, come with us.
[05:21] Saku
    What? You don't want to watch the match?
[05:24] Chi
    U-Um...
[05:29] Saku
    If you've chosen to take this path,
[05:31] Saku
    there isn't anything you're
    better off not knowing.
[05:37] Kuri
    Midori-chan, there's no room in the back,
[05:40] ---
    so you'll have to go in from the side.
[05:42] Saku
    Thank you very much.
[05:43] [POEM] N
    banish any lingering memories of the past
[06:24] Saku
    Take a seat. Don't make any noise.
[06:26] Chi
    Okay.
[06:31] Chi
    There's no water here.
[06:34] Chi
    It looks just like a normal match.
[06:44] Chi
    Yet...
[06:50] Chi
    It's so painful.
[06:57] Chi
    F-Five cards to eleven cards?
[07:00] Chi
    Shinobu-chan's losing?
[07:03] Pork
    Ayase! Mashima!
[07:05] Pork
    They finally made it.
[07:06] Pork
    Did Mashima win?
[07:09] Pork
    I should have recorded
    this match, like Fujisaki is.
[07:14] Pork
    I wish I could show Ayase and
    Mashima the entire match.
[07:18] Pork
    Show them what's transpired...
[07:21] Pork
    Show them their karuta...
[07:25] Pork
    At the beginning, both Wataya
    and the Queen split similar cards.
[07:32] Pork
    The positioning benefited
    Wataya's cross stroke.
[07:35] Pork
    He could move before
    unique syllables were read,
[07:37] ---
    and the Queen couldn't do a thing.
[07:40] Pork
    She stayed calm though.
[07:43] Pork
    She targeted select cards
[07:46] Pork
    and took them with her usual accuracy.
[07:50] Pork
    But...
[07:53] Pork
    The cards she targeted weren't being read.
[07:55] Pork
    Wataya Arata had all the momentum.
[07:58] Pork
    How?
[08:00] Pork
    How does he summon cards this way?
[08:03] Pork
    How?
[08:04] Ara
    I'm moving my cards.
[08:09] A
    His card sending is nasty.
[08:10] A
    His card movement is nasty.
[08:12] Pork
    He's as sadistic as Sudo-san.
[08:17] Pork
    A perfect cross...
[08:19] Pork
    A detailed game plan.
[08:23] Pork
    That's not all.
[08:26] Shi
    I just have to change the momentum.
[08:28] Shi
    I'm only down a few cards.
[08:32] Shi
    But...
[08:34] Shi
    Why are things going so badly?
[08:40] (Flashback) Shi
    Today, I'll have to choose
    which cards I can save
[08:42] (Flashback) ---
    and which cards I can't.
[08:46] Shi
    I discriminated.
[08:48] Shi
    I looked away from everyone.
[08:57] [POEM] N
    but for autumn's coming
[09:08] [POEM] N
    The fall paddy shacks...
[09:10] [POEM] N
    After I determined to abandon
    my love, my only regret
[09:15] A
    Wow, she's fast.
[09:16] B
    Impressive.
[09:17] C
    Amazing.
[09:18] Chi
    I-I've never heard Shinobu-chan
    make any sound when taking a card!
[09:22] Chi
    How many cards did she
    hit with that swing?
[09:25] Chi
    This isn't Shinobu-chan's usual style.
[09:28] Saku
    She began moving after the first syllable.
[09:31] Saku
    She's taking risks.
[09:38] Shi
    Sorry, everyone.
[09:41] Shi
    I'm coming for you.
[09:43] Shi
    I'll take all of the remaining cards.
[09:46] A
    The Queen looks so intense.
[09:48] B
    The Queen has the advantage in speed.
[09:50] C
    Technique becomes less viable
    later in the game.
[09:54] Pork
    No, it's not his technique.
[09:58] Pork
    What really makes him special is...
[10:00] Ero
    It's only noticeable if
    you've played against him.
[10:02] [POEM] N
    is that I have no way
    to tell you in person
[10:02] Ero
    Wataya Arata is special because...
[10:13] [POEM] N
    The
[10:16] [POEM] N
    fall wind parts...
[10:35] Ara
    Sorry.
[10:39] A
    Was that...
[10:40] B
    Faster than Wakamiya Shinobu?
[10:44] Pork
    The Queen reacted first.
[10:48] Pork
    Her reaction and swing were very quick.
[10:51] Pork
    However, despite that...
[10:54] Pork
    He was able to catch up!
[10:56] Pork
    With incredible acceleration!
[10:59] Ara
    Sorry, Taichi, Chihaya.
[11:01] Tai
    Oh, it's okay.
[11:03] Pork
    But it's not Wataya Arata's acceleration
    or his plethora of weapons that scares me.
[11:09] Pork
    It's his relaxed demeanor that gets me.
[11:16] (Flashback) Kana
    Chihaya-chan, it would refer to a
    top that spins perfectly smoothly.
[11:25] Chi
    It almost looks like it's completely still,
[11:28] Chi
    focusing its power in perfect balance,
    with no lean in any direction...
[11:33] Chi
    Strong enough to repel
    anything that makes contact,
[11:36] Chi
    while projecting stability.
[11:40] Chi
    A decorative word used for gods.
[11:45] Chi
    "Impassionate."
[11:50] Tai
    Chihaya, you need to stay back.
[11:58] A
    This guy's for real.
[12:00] B
    A high school second-year.
SIGN    The Queen was our only hope!!
[12:01] C
    He just turned seventeen?
[12:03] A
    I was expecting great things
    from Master Wataya's grandson,
[12:07] A
    but nothing like this!
[12:09] Mura
    It's not like Arata was
    born a good karuta player.
[12:19] (Flashback) A
    Arata-kun's making a lot of noise.
[12:22] (Flashback) B
    He has no trouble with
    players his own age,
[12:24] (Flashback) B
    but he can't do anything
    against Murao-kun.
[12:27] (Flashback) C
    Remember how Coach Wataya always
[12:29] (Flashback) ---
    warns you about your
    swing being too wide.
[12:31] (Flashback) C
    Hey, let's go visit him again...
[12:38] (Flashback) Ara
    Visualize... Visualize...
[12:42] (Flashback) Ara
    Visualize perfect karuta.
[12:48] (Flashback) Gran
    Did you lose to Murao-kun again?
[12:51] (Flashback) Gran
    At the last Kyoto tournament,
    you lost because of a foolish error.
[12:55] (Flashback) Gran
    Was your mind wandering because
    I wasn't there to watch you?
[12:59] (Flashback) Ara
    I was focused!
[13:00] (Flashback) Ara
    I was visualizing my karuta with you
    there watching, but it didn't work!
[13:05] (Flashback) Ara
    I couldn't move!
[13:10] (Flashback) Gran
    Are you playing karuta with
    that scary look on your face?
[13:16] (Flashback) Gran
    There's a lot more to visualization
    than you realize.
[13:21] (Flashback) Gran
    When do you find it easiest
    to move around freely?
[13:25] (Flashback) Gran
    When did you have the
    most fun playing karuta?
[13:34] (Flashback) Gran
    For now, I would start with
    300 practice swings a day.
[13:38] (Flashback) Ara
    What?!
[13:41] Mura
    Arata was on the rise when
    Master Wataya passed away.
[13:44] Mura
    Then he did nothing for a year and a half.
[13:47] Mura
    I don't know what it was
    that brought Arata back.
[13:52] Mura
    All I know
[13:54] Mura
    is that after Master Wataya died,
[13:56] Mura
    Arata grew 20 centimeters,
[14:00] Mura
    and he didn't go a single
    day this past year
[14:04] Mura
    without doing 500 practice swings.
[14:09] Mura
    His body grew enough
[14:12] Mura
    that he could play the way he visualized.
[14:16] Saku
    Perhaps...
[14:17] A
    Perhaps he will be
SIGN    Wait, I'm the
     bad guy?
[14:19] A
    the player who unseats Master Suo?
[14:24] Sudo
    Forget about that.
[14:26] Sudo
    The score is 4 to 9.
[14:29] Sudo
    The Queen's about to go down.
[14:39] Shi
    Too much noise...
[14:41] Shi
    Why are there so many spectators?
[14:43] Shi
    How stupid are they?
[14:47] Shi
    Why am I paying so much
    attention to my surroundings?
[14:58] Shi
    I didn't want to have to
[15:00] ---
    use my brand new Snowmaru fluffy towel.
SIGN    Round
[15:03] A
    The Queen is wiping off her sweat.
[15:04] B
    I've never seen her do that before.
[15:06] Shi
    This is my fifth match!
[15:08] Shi
    Of course I'm gonna sweat!
[15:12] Shi
    My matches weren't easy, either.
[15:23] Shi
    I didn't need to hold myself back today.
SIGN    Shudder
[15:29] [POEM] N
    to reveal moonlight, clear and bright
[15:40] [POEM] N
    The storm blasts autumn
    leaves off Mount Mimuro
[15:42] Pork
    A dead card.
[15:49] [POEM] N
    to set the Tatsuta River ablaze
[15:59] [POEM] N
    Like a boatsman adrift...
[16:01] A
    Who got that one?
[16:02] B
    Same time?
[16:03] C
    I couldn't tell.
[16:05] A
    The Queen was faster?
[16:06] B
    She snatched it from the
    opponent's lower right.
[16:12] Chi
    For a moment, I thought
    that Arata was faster,
[16:17] Chi
    but she slipped in under his hand.
[16:20] Chi
    How was she able to reach so low?
[16:22] [POEM] N
    I do not know where
    this love will take me
[16:34] [POEM] N
    May my lonely nights in bed not be so long,
[16:38] Sudo
    What just happened?
[16:39] Saku
    The cards flew in two different directions.
[16:42] Pork
    How is that possible?
[16:44] Pork
    Who got it?
[16:45] Mura
    They both hit the card,
[16:47] Mura
    but...
[16:48] Mura
    the Queen won it.
[16:52] Tai
    Was Chihaya able to see what happened?
[16:55] Chi
    Incredible...
[16:58] Chi
    "May my lonely" was just read.
[17:00] Chi
    Shinobu-chan had "May my lonely"
[17:02] ---
    and "May the time spent"
    at her lower left,
[17:04] Chi
    so Arata went for the
    entire group of cards.
[17:07] Chi
    But Shinobu-chan was able to pick out
[17:11] Chi
    the one card she needed.
[17:16] Chi
    Shinobu-chan was pulling
    on the strings.
[17:21] Chi
    How is she able to do that?
[17:26] Chi
    Faster...
[17:29] ---
    Lower...
[17:49] Shi
    The one with the stronger
    ties to the cards
[17:53] Shi
    is me, Arata.
[18:02] Shi
    That smiling four-eyes
    really throws me off.
[18:06] Shi
    I have to be careful.
[18:08] Shi
    Concentrate. Concentrate.
[18:13] Pork
    4 to 7.
[18:14] Pork
    The Queen has cut down the lead.
[18:16] Pork
    What now?
[18:18] Shi
    Concentrate. Concentrate.
[18:21] Shi
    I feel like crap.
[18:23] A
    I can confidently say
[18:25] A
    that this the highest level of high school—
[18:27] A
    no, the highest level of Class A play.
[18:30] [POEM] N
    though you have never known that pain
[18:32] Shi
    I'm tired.
[18:34] Shi
    Hot.
[18:38] Shi
    But...
[18:45] Shi
    I can still become stronger.
[18:49] Shi
    I can strengthen my ties to the cards.
[18:52] Shi
    Stronger!
[18:55] Shi
    Stronger!
[18:57] Shi
    Stronger!
[19:26] [POEM] N
    For you, I head out to the
    fields to pick spring greens
[19:35] [POEM] N
    while snow falls upon my sleeves
[19:38] Both
    Thank you very much.
[19:41] Both
    Thank you very much.
[19:49] A
    The Queen...
[19:50] B
    The Queen...
[19:51] All
    Lost!
[19:54] Mura
    Your High School Class A
    champion, by two cards,
[19:57] Mura
    is Wataya Arata-kun from Fukui.
[20:01] Tai
    Arata...
[20:03] Tai
    He really did it.
[20:04] A
    After years without a loss,
[20:07] A
    the Queen has been upset.
[20:29] Ara
    You have a fever, Shinobu-chan.
[20:32] Ara
    You were drenched in the rain yesterday,
[20:37] Ara
    and you were wearing that
    thing to keep you cool.
[20:43] Ara
    I'm amazed you made
    it through the match.
[21:00] Shi
    I've always wanted to play
[21:03] Shi
    against opponents who
    wanted to put up a fight.
[21:11] Shi
    Naturally.
[21:14] Shi
    I'm the Queen.
