[00:33] Koda     Frankly, I'm not sure you could handle     the job with a motive like that. [00:36] Koda     Teaching is a tremendously     complex profession. [00:39] Koda     Have you ever considered how difficult      it is to deal with real people? [00:44] Chihaya     U-Uh... [00:45] Koda     I mean, being a teacher has made me such a     lady-killer that female students scare me now! SIGN    Just when I thought he was giving sound advice... [00:51] Koda     Being loved and being hated     are two sides of the same coin! [00:55] Koda     Well, you can always be a regular officer worker     even with a teaching certification. [00:59] Koda     And you don't have to go to teachers college.     You could get a literature degree and then... SIGN    The Mashima Residence [01:10] Taichi     I'm home. [01:10] Mom     Taichi!

[02:24] Sumire     I'm quitting, too! [02:26] Kanade     I was sure that was what she'd say... [02:29] Nishida     We're not even needed here.

[04:36] Fukasaku     The Hundred Poets are truly     remarkable, aren't they? [04:40] Chihaya     Huh? [04:41] Fukasaku     They give you the words,     the metaphors, to express yourself. [04:45] Fukasaku     I thought it was the coming of spring [04:48] Fukasaku     that made you seem so blurry     around the edges of late. [04:55] Fukasaku     You seem about to fall     apart yourself, but... [04:59] Fukasaku     perhaps the Hundred Poets have     been holding you together. [05:03] Fukasaku     Oh, dear...

[06:39] Hiro     It happens in manga all the time! SIGN    You just won't get any funding [06:42] Kanno     But you can still enter tournaments     with just the three of you.

SIGN    Matsubayashi Shun (16) Older brother, born in April Class B [06:48] Shun     I know we have the right to enter     the high school championship, [06:51] Shun     but we can't be so lax about it. SIGN    Matsubayashi Hiro (15) Younger brother, born in March Class B [06:52] Hiro     I think it'd be fine. [06:54] Hiro     There were only four schools in     the Fukui tournament last year. [06:57] Hiro     I bet the three of us could win. [06:59] Hiro     We could practice with the Nagumo Society. [07:02] Hiro     Arata-niichan would be able to concentrate     on individual tournaments, too. [07:05] Shun     Yeah, since your main focus is     individual tournaments, [07:08] Shun     and the Master match. [07:12] Girl     Who's entering the Hyogo     and Sagamino tournaments?

[08:05] Arata     I'm Wataya Arata from Class 3-2. [08:09] Arata     I'm here to recruit members for     our competitive karuta club. [08:12] Girl     Huh? [08:14] Arata     We're still an association for now, [08:15] Arata     but we're seeking members to     participate in team matches. [08:18] Arata     Anyone who did their best to memorize     the hundred poems as a kid, [08:21] Arata     anyone who ever took a card at a school     tournament and had fun doing it... [08:25] Arata     If you work hard for the next three months, [08:27] Arata     you'll be able to compete     with Class A players. [08:30] Arata     I want to build a karuta club     that can play to win [08:33] Arata     at the high school championship     at the end of July. [08:37] Arata     You can talk to Matsubayashi Shun     for more details. [08:41] Shun     Huh? Me?! [08:45] Arata     Excuse me! [08:46] Guy     Now he's gone to Class 2. [08:48] Girl     He's going all-out. [08:49] Guy     A national championship, though? [08:50] Girl     I don't know... [08:51] Guy     Not possible. [08:52] Shun     I-It is possible! [08:54] Shun     The winner last year was a Tokyo school [08:56] Shun     whose karuta club had only     been active for two years! [08:59] Girl     I was in a karuta society     when I was little. [09:02] Girl     Me, too! [09:03] Guy     I'm a ranked player. [09:04] Girl     That third-year was kind of hot, wasn't he? [09:05] Shun     There are people here who've played. [09:07] Shun     But I didn't expect Arata-niichan     to be so serious about this... [09:11] Guy     Was that Wataya? [09:12] Guy     What the heck is he doing? [09:14] Guy     He was trying to recruit     people last year, too. [09:14] Arata     The third-year classrooms are tough... [09:16] Arata     Too tough for me. [09:19] Yuu     What are you doing, Arata?     And now, of all times? [09:22] Arata     Yuu... [09:22] Yuu     You're a third-year now. You don't     have time to start a new club. [09:26] Yuu     You expect to find members to     play in team tournaments now? [09:31] Arata     I don't know. [09:33] Arata     But right now... [09:36] Arata     I feel like I have to build a team. [09:43] Arata     When my grandpa was still alive, [09:46] Arata     you helped us out a lot, remember? [09:49] Arata     To me, we were a team. [09:54] Arata     Thanks, Yuu. [09:57] Yuu     A team... [10:00] Arata     What others have done for me... [10:02] Yuu     A team... [10:05] Arata     And what I want to do... [10:08] Yuu     If...

It'll be a battle to     decide who the starters are! [10:40] Arata     I have to gather the wind toward me. [10:43] Arata     Like Chihaya and Taichi did. [10:46] Arata     I can do this, too.

[11:25] Sakura     It's all right. We do this often. [11:28] Sakura     The kids from Hokuo in Tokyo     were here just last week. [11:32] Sakura     Speaking of which, you're friends with     the kids in Mizusawa's club, aren't you? [11:36] Arata     Oh... I am. [11:38] Sakura     Did you hear, then?

[13:53] Sakura     Unfortunately, Fujisaki currently lacks students     who have both talent and leadership. [14:00] Sakura     Rion is better at karuta, [14:02] Sakura     but Cheers has better leadership ability. SIGN    That's why I'm president! [14:05] Sakura     If there's no one who can keep     an eye on the team as a whole [14:07] Sakura     while also playing great karuta, [14:10] Sakura     then we need to have double leaders. SIGN    Nnnnnnngh [14:12] Sakura     To face excessively strong     players like Wataya-kun, [14:15] Sakura     one should be an egoist     who prioritizes to winning, [14:17] Rion     Miyagawa-san, good job taking that one!

[14:51] Sakura     Miyagawa-san, what was the     main problem in your match? [14:51] Arata     Yet they went down so easily... [14:53] Miyagawa     I didn't memorize well enough, which slowed     my attacks on the opponent's side. [14:57] Sakura     And you, Kawashima-kun? [14:58] Kawashima     My double fault halfway     through messed me up. [15:00] Sakura     What messed you up was failing     to move on from it. [15:02] Sakura     Hyuga-kun? [15:03] Girl     He went to curl his hair. [15:05] Sakura     Is he stupid? [15:06] Sakura     All of you, take notes on this     for your future selves.

[15:34] Rion     Did you learn anything from     your match with Wataya-kun? [15:36] Hyuga     Nope, nothing. I'm not good enough     to get anything like that from him.

SIGN    Third Match [15:48] Arata     Coach Sakurazawa keeps putting     me up against third-years. [15:54] Arata     I'm the only third-year in Fujioka East's club. [15:56] Arata     It's my job to keep an eye on     the others and encourage them. [16:01] Arata     Should I talk to them? [16:03] Arata     I've never tried rallying cries before... SIGN    Let's go?     Let's do this? [16:05] Arata     What should I say? [16:07] Arata     Can I even do it when I never have before? SIGN    Ahem [16:10] [POEM] Reader     The storm blasts autumn leaves... [16:12] Rion     If I beat Wataya-kun, [16:14] Rion     it would be the best boost     I could give this team. [16:17] Rion     I have to focus on winning! [16:21] Arata     When up against someone     with good game sense, [16:24] Arata     in a way, it comes down to speed. [16:26] Arata     I need to focus, and yet... [16:28] Arata     Rallying cries? SIGN    I never asked to be treated colder than the winds of Mount Hatsuse [16:30] Arata     Watching my team? [16:31] Arata     How much attention can     I afford to give them? [16:34] Arata     If I lose too, it won't even matter. [16:36] Hiro     W-We lost that one, but we'll get 'em next time! [16:40] Shun     Huh? Hiro, are you talking to yourself? [16:42] Shun     Huh? Huh? [16:45] Shun     That was a rallying cry?! [16:46] Chiemi     No one could tell! If you're     gonna do that, be louder! [16:50] Arata     Oh, right... [16:52] Arata     These guys are thinking about the team, too. [16:55] Arata     I thought I needed to do something,     but I was wrong. [17:00] Arata     Okay... [17:01] Arata     I'm not used to talking in a match,     but I'm going to practice now. [17:07] Arata     Fujioka East, let's talk to each other! [17:09] Chiemi     Right! [17:09] Shun     Y-Yeah! [17:09] Hiro     Let's do it! [17:09] Risa     O-Okay! [17:10] Both     They're all over the place. SIGN    Wataya-kun's not     very loud, either [17:12] Arata     Sorry, we were all over the place,     so can we try again? SIGN    You're doing it over? [17:15] Arata     We'll come together on "All right." [17:17] Both     "All right"? [17:18] Arata     That's the go-to for stuff like this, right? [17:21] Arata     Let's do this, Fujioka East! [17:23] All     Right! [17:25] Arata     Oh, it kinda feels like we're a team. SIGN    I told them to use "All right"... [17:28] Arata     But talking to each other is just     one of the things we need. [17:31] Arata     There are lots more things that     are important for a team. [17:34] Arata     We'll have to learn how to     stretch before matches, too. [17:37] Sakura     He's even more sincere about     this than I realized. [17:41] Sakura     He's good enough to be considered     the strongest high school player, [17:44] Sakura     but he's reverting to a beginner's     perspective in order to play as a team. [17:48] Sakura     Why go that far to play in team matches? [17:51] Sakura     It's the Master match you     should be working toward. [17:54] Sakura     Why? [17:56] Arata     There's so much more [17:59] Arata     that I need to learn to help this team. [18:08] Arata     We want to thank all of you at     Fujisaki for letting us join you. [18:11] Arata     We've learned a lot from this. [18:13] Sakura     Let's face off again at the nationals. [18:15] Kanno     Coach Sakurazawa, we brought this for you. [18:16] Sakura     We wish you the best     at your regional preliminary. [18:20] Shun     Fujisaki really is a good team! SIGN    They really do have 50 members! [18:22] Hiro     They have a good coach, above all! [18:24] Kanno     I agree with that! [18:27] Arata     I need to start with rallying cries. [18:29] Arata     They can change the flow of a match. [18:32] Arata     Then there's our team composition,     deciding our order... [18:34] Arata     These are all things I've     never thought about before. [18:37] Arata     I'm glad we came to Shizuoka. [18:40] Arata     That's the kind of thing     I need to say to them! [18:43] Arata     E-Everyone... [18:50] Arata     Was Mizusawa like this at first, too? [18:54] Arata     And they beat Fujisaki like that? [18:57] Arata     That's hard to believe.     How did they practice? [19:01] Arata     That's an incredible thing, Taichi, Chihaya. [19:06] Sakura     They quit their karuta club. [19:10] Arata     What happened? [19:13] Arata     What happened? [19:16] Arata     What happened? [19:18] Arata     Why am I always [19:20] Arata     so far away? [19:22] Kanno     No! Don't you fall asleep     on me too, Wataya! [19:24] Kanno     Don't leave me alone! [19:25] Arata     I'm awake! [19:31] Yuu     Why a team? [19:34] Arata     I don't know. [19:35] Arata     But I feel like I have to build a team. [19:44] Shun     Why didn't you wake us up, Mr. Kanno?! [19:46] Shun     We almost missed it! [19:48] Kanno     You already saw it on the way here. [19:49] Hiro     But the sunset's different! [19:51] Risa     It's so pretty! [19:51] Kenichi     And red! [19:52] Chiemi     Did you get a picture? Send it to me! [19:54] Kenichi     I gotta show my parents!
