    At first, I didn't think

    When you raise your arm,

[04:01] Tsutomu
    Perfect! I can use the

SIGN    Say, Ayase, about the order we're going to use...
[04:09] Chihaya
    Wh-What?!

    Huh?! Fission?! Cloning?!
[04:14] Tsukuba
    Oh, sorry if my brothers are bothering you.
[04:16] All
    Hey, it's Big Bro!
[04:18] Tsukuba
    In our family, we're taught
    to run into pretty people.
[04:21] Chihaya
    Tr-Triplets?!
SIGN    Seriously?
[04:23] Tsukuba
    No, they're each a year apart.
SIGN    Ages 9 - 10 - 11

    We're here to cheer for Big Bro!
[04:26] Person A
    You look cool!
[04:28] Person B
    You're rockin' that kimono!
[04:30] Person D
    Do that one thing!
[04:31] Tsukuba
    That one thing?
[04:33] Person A
    That's so cute!
[04:34] Person D
    You look just like Peko-chan!

    Oh, he does!
SIGN    He doesn't!
[04:39] Person A
    Are you going to play

[04:40] Person B
    Of course he is.
[04:41] Person B
    We were Second Verse Karuta champions.
[04:44] Person B
    Big Bro was an ace attacker!
[04:46] Person C
    You're also good at
    mainland karuta, right?
[04:48] Tsukuba

SIGN    My Hero

    How can he say that?
[04:58] Tsutomu
    He hasn't beaten any of the
    second-years in a single practice match,
[05:01] Tsutomu
    so he won't get to play.
[05:03] Nishida
    What?! Tokyo gets to send two schools
    to the national championship this year?!
[05:07] Taichi
    If there are more than
    ten schools in a region,
[05:10] ---
    two get to advance...
[05:11] Nishida
    We're so lucky!
[05:13] Nishida
    That makes it a lot easier!
[05:17] Retro
    Doesn't matter if one advances
[05:19] Retro
    or two advance!
[05:22] Retro
    Hokuo Academy will win in the end!
[05:27] Nishida
    I've been thinking that our Tsukuba
    and Retro-kun are similar,
[05:31] Nishida
    but Retro-kun is way weirder.
[05:33] Retro
    I can hear you!
[05:34] Taichi
    You should apologize to Tsukuba-kun.
[05:36] Retro
    I can hear you guys!
[05:40] Retro
    Porky.
[05:42] Retro
    You're too nice.
[05:44] Retro
    Why let Eyelashes, who's stuck
    in Class B even though
[05:48] Retro
    he tops you all in skill, be your president?
[05:52] Retro
    He's probably kept this
    a secret from you guys,
[05:54] Retro
    but he entered tournaments
    in Hiroshima and Kyoto,
[05:58] Retro
    and he's still Class B
    because he couldn't win.
[06:01] Taichi
    You're in the same boat!
[06:03] Taichi
    I ran into you in Hiroshima,
    Kyoto, everywhere I went!
[06:05] Taichi
    Neither of us have made it to Class A!
[06:10] Retro
    Well, team matches are
    a different animal.
[06:12] Retro
    We'll be winning.
[06:14] Taichi
    That's bull!
[06:16] Taichi
    Honestly, Hokuo doesn't scare us
    now that Sudo-san's graduated!
[06:20] Retro
    You won't be able to say that
    after seeing our ultimate weapon.
[06:24] Taichi
    Ultimate weapon?
[06:28] Retro
    See you in the finals!
[06:30] Person A
    Last year's champions will
    now return the trophy.
[06:38] Chihaya
    This was the first trophy
    we worked together to win.
[06:43] Chihaya
    We fought so hard.
[06:45] Chihaya
    We were completely focused on our goal.
[06:48] Chihaya
    A year has passed.
[06:50] Chihaya
    We have to win again
[06:52] Chihaya
    and make it to Nationals.

    Komano came up with.
[07:06] Nishida
    Sounds good.
[07:07] Kanade
    I think it's fine.
[07:09] Tsukuba

    If you've got a problem, say something!
[07:32] Tsukuba
    B-But!
[07:34] Tsukuba
    I came within three cards of
    beating Komano-senpai once!
[07:37] Tsukuba
    I've almost caught up
    in terms of skill!
[07:39] Tsukuba
    I'm...
[07:44] Taichi
    Cool down.

    If you can't, go home.

    Is he playing soon?
[07:53] Person C
    Keep it down or they'll yell at you.
SIGN    Let's switch up the order.
SIGN    For our first match against Shuryukan,
SIGN    let's switch me out
SIGN    for Hanano Sumire.
[08:07] Sumire
    Huh?
[08:07] All
    Huh?
SIGN    For our second match against West High,
SIGN    we'll switch out Kana-chan
SIGN    for Tsukuba Akihiro.
SIGN    I just checked and Shuryukan is pretty much
[08:18] ---
    fielding the same lineup as last year.
SIGN    Going off my data from last year, they're strong against boys
SIGN    and really weak against girls.
SIGN    So it makes sense to go with three girls.
[08:30] Kanade
    I think you're right.
SIGN    The West High team is still mainly female.
SIGN    I'm guessing that they still favor a focused style
[08:37] ---
    with vocal encouragement.
SIGN    Tsukuba-kun.
SIGN    Open your eyes for a moment.
[08:43] Tsukuba
    L-Like this?
SIGN    You don't need to lick your lips!
SIGN    If you keep that look on your face the whole match, you'll definitely win!
SIGN    Your loud voice can also be used as a weapon!
SIGN    The remaining three players will have to play every game.
SIGN    Mashima, Porky, Ayase...

[09:51] (Flashback) Tsutomu
    Can I go home now?
[09:54] (Flashback) Tsutomu
    I'm only here because

    That's Ayase-senpai's opponent...

    She won by 25 cards.
    A perfect score.
[11:15] Both
    Thank you very much.
[11:18] Person A

    She never let her opponent
    touch her hand.

    Memorize! Memorize!

    You'll start moving faster and
    faster to take cards, Sumire-chan.

    I hate to admit it, but she's right!

[12:21] Miya
    It didn't take them long to win,

    so I'll be heading over

[12:26] Person A
    Ah, I see.
[12:29] Person A
    Oh, that's right.
[12:30] Person A

[12:32] Person A
    Did the karuta club recruit

[12:41] Person A
    Oh, that's wonderful!
[12:43] Person A
    You always deliver, Ms. Miyauchi.

    Though 18 of them quit.
[12:48] Person A
    Speaking of the karuta club...
[12:53] Person A
    Ayase-san turned in a blank

[14:12] Tsukuba
    I made the worst possible mistake!
[14:14] Tsukuba
    When I get flustered, I forget I'm
    not playing Second Verse Karuta!
[14:18] Nawano
    He went for the card that
    started the same way.
[14:22] Nawano
    He's a total amateur.
[14:23] Nawano
    Lucky me.
[14:27] Taichi
    Tsukuba is up against
    West High's captain.
[14:30] Taichi
    She's the only Class A
    player on their team.
[14:32] Taichi
    I guess we're fortunate that
[14:33] ---
    we're not wasting one of
    our Class A players on her,
[14:37] Taichi
    but this is tough for Tsukuba.
[14:40] Tsukuba
    I embarrassed myself to
    play in this match...
[14:48] Tsukuba
    I was so confident...
[14:51] Tsukuba
    Karuta was the one thing
    I was confident about.
[14:57] Chihaya
    You're so lucky, Tsukuba-kun.
[14:59] Chihaya
    You get to play a Class A
    player in an official match.
[15:03] Chihaya
    You're lucky!
[15:04] Tsukuba
    Huh?
[15:05] Taichi
    That's true.
[15:07] Taichi
    You rarely get to play people
    outside your class in tournaments.
[15:10] Taichi
    This is a chance that only
    comes in team tournaments.
[15:13] Kanade
    That's our captain!
    Way to give him a boost!

    What? He's lucky?

    "Feel love deepen" and "Feel sorrow wash"?
[17:06] (Flashback) Nishida
    You need to make these cards your own.

    Since your name is Tsukuba-kun.
[17:13] (Flashback) Tsukuba
    But my name's Akihiro,
[17:15] (Flashback) ---
    so I was really good at
    the eight cards with
[17:16] (Flashback) ---
    second verses that started like my name.
[17:18] (Flashback) Nishida
    You always have something
    to complain about!
[17:20] (Flashback) Tsutomu
    There are sixteen cards with first
    verses that start like your name.
[17:25] (Flashback) Tsutomu
    Few people can say that they
    specialize in the "The" cards.
[17:28] (Flashback) Tsutomu
    You're really lucky.
[17:30] (Flashback) Tsutomu
    Start with the two "Feel" cards.
[17:33] (Flashback) Tsutomu
    Then you have the sixteen "The" cards.
[17:38] (Flashback) Tsutomu
    It'll take time, but you
    can master those cards.

    Ah, that won't work!
[18:00] Tsukuba
    There are too many "The"
    cards all over the place!
[18:09] Tsukuba
    My brothers are watching me.
[18:12] Tsukuba
    But...
[18:14] Tsukuba
    My teammates are with me!
[18:20] Kanade
    She's so good!
[18:22] Kanade
    Another 25-card perfect game!
[18:24] Kanade
    Her opponent is clearly weaker,
[18:26] Kanade
    but Chihaya-chan has been flawless!
[18:32] Sumire
    This is impressive.
[18:35] Tsutomu
    Mashima, Porky, Ayase...
[18:39] Tsutomu
    It's on you.
[18:41] Chihaya
    One win for Mizusawa!
[18:42] All
    Yeah!
[18:44] Tsukuba
    Y-Yeah!
[18:46] Kanade
    We wouldn't be this strong,
    if the first-years weren't here.
[18:51] Taichi
    Two wins for Mizusawa!
[18:53] Kanade
    Not President Mashima...
[18:54] Nishida
    Okay! Three wins for Mizusawa!
[18:56] Kanade
    Not Porky...
[19:01] Tsukuba
    They're so dependable
    that it makes me sick!
[19:09] Tsukuba
    Sorry...
[19:11] Tsukuba
    I can't be the hero.
[19:14] Tsukuba
    I'm acting like a loser,
[19:16] Tsukuba
    but right now, I just want one card!
[19:19] Tsukuba
    One card!
[19:20] Tsukuba
    One card!
SIGN    Tsukuba X - O Nawano
    (13 card differential)
[19:25] Both
    Thank you very much.
SIGN    Komano X - O Suda
     (2 card differential)
[19:28] Both
    Thank you very much.
[19:30] Chihaya
    You were so close, Desktomu-kun!
SIGN    I almost caught up.
[19:34] Nishida
    You did a good job against
    a Class B opponent.
[19:43] Person B
    You were so cool, lady!
[19:45] Person C
    You're pretty and strong!
[19:46] Person B
    Really strong!
[19:47] Person D
    Awesome! Awesome!
[19:48] Chihaya
    Th-Thank you...
[19:50] Person B
    But Big Bro will catch up in no time!
[19:53] Person C
    We only played with
    wooden cards at home,
[19:55] Person C
    but we'll start practicing
    with the paper cards you use!
[19:58] Person B
    Big Bro will get better then!
[20:01] Person D
    Big Bro's super awesome!
[20:08] Chihaya
    Then you should all come to the
    Shiranami Society next week!
[20:11] All
    Shiranami Society?
[20:12] Nishida
    Hey! That's no fair!
[20:13] Chihaya
    I got us some new members, Dr. Harada!
[20:23] Shinobu
    It's been a long time.
[20:26] Shinobu
    Yes, that's right.
[20:30] Shinobu
    I'm looking forward to it, Mr. Ise.
[20:34] Ise
    I'll get you registered.
[20:36] Ise
    I can't wait to watch the
    tournament this year.
[20:38] Ise
    You'll probably dominate the
    individual bracket though.
[20:42] Shinobu
    I still have much to improve.
[20:45] Ise
    If you need a practice partner,
    drop by the Myojo Society.
[20:49] Shinobu
    Thank you very much.
[20:51] Ise
    Oh, there's one more thing
    to look forward to.
[20:54] Ise
    The grandson of Eternal Master
    Wataya is coming from Fukui
[20:57] ---
    to participate in the individual bracket.
[21:00] Ise
    Everybody's been talking about it.
[21:03] Ise
    How many years has it been since
    he's played in an official match?
[21:05] Ise
    Even I can't wait.
[21:09] Shinobu
    Arata?
