[01:15] Guy
    She's closed the gap from
    three cards to one.
[01:17] Guy
    That high school girl's
    putting up a good fight!
[01:20] Guy
    It'll all depend on which cards are read.
[01:22] Guy
    Inokuma-san's plenty fast at taking cards, too.
[01:25] Guy
    This is the biggest battle
    of speed we've had today.
SIGN    Yoshino Tournament
SIGN    Quarterfinals
[01:31] Sakura
    The reason this is such a close match now
[01:33] Sakura
    is because Haruka-san was rattled
    when she lost "Impassionate."
SIGN    the red that is the Tatsuta River
SIGN    the red that is the Tatsuta River
[01:45] Haruka
    She's having fun playing.
[01:48] Haruka
    I can't let her get into a groove.
[01:49] Haruka
    I need to throw off her pace
    and not let her have fun!
[01:56] Dad
    Hey! Aki!
[02:05] Chihaya
    That logo on his chest! It's Daddy Bear!
[02:07] Dad
    If you can't be quiet, we're leaving, Aki.
[02:09] Aki
    No!
[02:09] Aki
    Mommy's game looks fun! No! I wanna watch!
[02:10] Dad
    I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.
[02:13] Chihaya
    Yay! Another fellow Daddy Bear fan!
[02:18] Haruka
    My parents were karuta players, too.
SIGN    now white robes hang to dry on Mount Amanokagu
[02:21] Haruka
    I spent more weekends at their
    practice hall than anywhere else.
[02:25] Haruka
    Then I won the Queen title four times
    and had two adorable kids.
[02:30] Haruka
    I should be able to say that's enough...
[02:39] Haruka
    But the realization that parents
    can have something they treasure
[02:44] Haruka
    as much as their kids set me free.
[02:47] Haruka
    My children will grow up.
[02:50] Haruka
    That's why I have to shine in karuta.
[02:52] Haruka
    My karuta is a kind of karuta
[02:58] Haruka
    that I enjoy more than anyone else!
[03:00] [POEM] Hirota
    May the scarlet kadsuras of Mount
    Afusaka live up to their name
[03:09] Tsutomu
    "May my sighs" is on her side,
[03:11] Tsutomu
    but she went for "May the scarlet" on
    her opponent's side after one syllable.
[03:15] Nishida
    That only makes sense.
[03:16] Nishida
    Ayase was targeting the opponent's side.
    She wouldn't get back in time.
[03:21] Nishida
    No...
[03:23] Nishida
    It's not that Inokuma-san
    was playing offensively.
[03:27] Nishida
    She knew!
[03:30] Sakura
    That's a given.
[03:31] Sakura
    Haruka-san was born in Yamaguchi,
[03:34] Sakura
    so she excels when the reader
    is from the west.
[03:37] Sakura
    She can discern the subtle
    differences in intonation.
[03:40] Sakura
    She just takes them because she can hear.
[03:42] Sakura
    That's a Queen's game sense.
[03:46] Guy
    She's back.
[03:48] Kitano
    Right down to that childish smile...
[03:57] [POEM] Hirota
    and allow us this secret rendezvous
[04:07] [POEM] Hirota
    Would the mountain cherry
    blossoms return my affection,
[04:08] Both
    Dead card!
[04:09] Kitano
    But "Would this" moved!
[04:11] Yumi
    That's a fault!
[04:12] Kitano
    Which one touched it?!
[04:19] Both
    That was just a blow by, right?
[04:34] (Flashback) Chihaya
    Wow, really?
[04:37] Nishida
    I felt no stiffness at all
    in her shoulder back then.
[04:43] Nishida
    I thought she'd tense up
    against a former Queen,
[04:46] Nishida
    but right from the start,
    and even this close to the end,
[04:49] Nishida
    she's not getting worked up.
[04:54] Nishida
    Maybe in Ayase's mind, the only Queen...
[04:58] Nishida
    is Wakamiya Shinobu.
[05:03] Chihaya
    No matter how strong she is...
[05:15] Chihaya
    Shinobu-chan is even stronger!
[05:19] Guy
    She's playing an unrestrained game,
    even in such an intense back-and-forth.
[05:23] Guy
    This is such a seesaw battle! As a veteran,
    Inokuma-san may be used to it...
[05:28] Guy
    ...but she's just a high schooler!
[05:34] Nishida
    Her faith in Wakamiya's strength
    is keeping her relaxed.
[05:41] Nishida
    But...
[05:47] Nishida
    Even Wakamiya Shinobu isn't invincible.
[06:01] Nishida
    Faith?
[06:05] Both
    Thank you very much.
[06:06] Both
    Thank you very much.
[06:08] Hiroshi
    Yes!
[06:09] Both
    What?!
[06:11] Girl
    Hiroshi-kun won!
[06:12] All
    Coach Tsuboguchi!
SIGN    Shock
SIGN    The Nagumo Society's hopes were so high, they're stunned silent
[06:16] Arata
    Those last five cards in a row...
[06:19] Arata
    They were exactly the
    ones he was aiming for.
SIGN    You're going to win
[06:22] Arata
    Was it some kind of curse?
[06:31] Chihaya
    Arata lost...
[06:32] Taichi
    Even Arata...
[06:35] Hiroshi
    This is why...
[06:40] Both
    ...karuta is so unpredictable.
[06:47] [POEM] Hirota
    Impassioned vows exchanged over
    many a tear shed to last
SIGN    until the day waves crash over Mount Suenomatsu
[06:56] Both
    Thank you very much.
[06:58] Both
    Thank you very much.
[07:01] Chihaya
    Dr. Harada...
[07:03] Taichi
    Murao-san won?
[07:05] Kitano
    Heh! That Harada's wiped
    out after five matches!
SIGN    Pathetic
[07:09] Kuri
    Well done, Murao-kun!
[07:11] Guy
    But his ten-card lead in the middle
    was knocked down to four.
[07:16] Guy
    That took a lot out of Murao-kun.
[07:19] Harada
    Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!
[07:24] Kuri
    That'll affect him later.
[07:27] All
    This is why karuta is so scary...
[07:34] Sumire
    Four cards left...
[07:36] Nishida
    They both have two.
[07:39] Nishida
    They're even.
[07:42] Mochida
    How will this end?
[07:45] Tsutomu
    How will it end?
[07:46] Sumire
    How is this going to end?!
[07:49] Guy
    How will it end?
[07:54] Hiroshi
    That's not it!
[07:55] Harada
    Keep attacking until the end and win it!
[07:55] [POEM] Hirota
    Said bed was cold as I lay awake
[07:58] Kitano
    They both gambled and went for
    the opponent's side at this late stage!
[08:02] Kitano
    Could these Shiranami Society
    people be any more reckless?!
[08:04] Kitano
    What the hell is he even teaching them?!
[08:10] Taichi
    Whether they win or lose...
[08:12] Chihaya
    They give us strength.
[08:17] Nishida
    It was partly because
    she had an aggressive mindset,
[08:19] [POEM] Hirota
    for the night would drag on
    when I thought of my beloved
[08:21] Nishida
    but the way Ayase's taking cards...
[08:31] [POEM] Hirota
    Since I could not hide my love,
SIGN    people would always ask if I was pining for someone
[08:45] Both
    Thank you very much.
[08:48] Both
    Thank you very much.
[08:50] Kanade
    Sh-She fell aslee—
[08:52] Kanade
    B-But she won!
[08:53] Kanade
    Wake up, Chihaya-chan! You won!
[08:59] Nishida
    Ayase's grabs
SIGN    people would always ask if I was pining for someone
[09:02] Nishida
    are starting to go silent.
[09:08] Kanade
    Prez!
[09:09] Nishida
    Mashima!
[09:11] All
    I-It's luck of the draw!
SIGN    Again!!
[09:14] Sudo
    Why are all these fools
    so pointlessly persistent?
[09:18] Sudo
    I'll show you how good my luck is!
[09:27] Taichi
    Luck of the draw...
SIGN    are joined at river's end
[09:31] Taichi
    Luck of the draw...
[09:33] [POEM] Hirota
    people would always ask if
    I was pining for someone
SIGN    are joined at river's end
[09:42] [POEM] Hirota
    Like the sound of someone
    knocking on my door,
[09:46] Mochida
    He went straight for the opponent's side?!
[09:51] [POEM] Hirota
    the thistle and brush are
    blown by the autumn wind
[09:55] Both
    Thank you very much.
[09:57] Both
    Thank you very much.
[10:00] Sudo
    Damn you! What kind of
    karuta are you playing?!
[10:03] Sudo
    Don't take risks like
    that out of desperation!
[10:09] Taichi
    At this point,
[10:12] Taichi
    I'm not so optimistic as to think
    the card on my side will be read again.
[10:17] Sudo
    What the hell? That's just creepy!
[10:22] Taichi
    This is why...
[10:25] Taichi
    karuta is so fun!
[10:28] Guy
    Fantastic, Chitose-chan!
[10:31] Guy
    Let's see more of the bag.
[10:34] Guy
    Now turn your head the other way.
[10:35] Guy
    Yes, that's it!
[10:38] Guy
    Okay, let's take a break. Go on and change.
[10:40] Chitose
    Thank you.
[10:43] Chitose
    Oh, Mom!
[10:44] Mom
    I brought your phone.
[10:45] Chitose
    Thanks! I couldn't believe I forgot it!
[10:48] Mom
    I had to slip out of work for you, you know?
[10:51] Chitose
    You could've just had Chihaya bring it.
[10:54] Chitose
    No, she's at a tournament today.
[10:56] Mom
    Oh, shoot! My break's over!
[10:58] Mom
    They'll take this out of my pay!
[11:01] Chitose
    I'm sorry I haven't earned
    as much as I hoped to.
[11:04] Chitose
    I just keep racking up costs for lessons...
[11:06] Mom
    Huh?
[11:10] Mom
    It's all right.
[11:11] Mom
    I like my part-time job at the supermarket,
[11:13] Mom
    and Chihaya's karuta doesn't cost that much.
SIGN    Stored Fare Used
SIGN    Balance
SIGN    Tap IC Card
[11:18] Mom
    Other than the hakama, anyway.
[11:21] Mom
    I'll barely make it for the timed sale...
[11:29] Mom
    Oh... I'm sorry.
[11:34] (Flashback) Chihaya
    I'm heading out!
[11:37] Mom
    I hope Chihaya gave it her best.
[11:41] Mom
    I hope that hakama we bought in
    twelve installments is all right.
[11:46] Kanade
    Chihaya-chan, wake up!
SIGN    Ayase!
[11:49] Nishida
    You won, so you have another match to play!
[11:51] Lady
    We will now decide the semifinal match-ups.
SIGN    Tsuboguchi Hiroshi Murao Shinichi
     Ayase Chihaya Mashima Taichi
[11:54] Nishida
    And there it is!
SIGN    Ayase's playing Hiroshi-san next!
SIGN    Victory
[12:02] Hiroshi
    Excuse me. I'd like to yield the match.
[12:05] Hiroshi
    I'll take the loss by default.
[12:07] Takei
    What?! Coach, you're taking a loss?!
SIGN    "Yield" To withdraw from participating n a match
SIGN    Often used when a player is matched with a member of the same society, or when it's late and a player might miss their ride home
SIGN    This is common
[12:10] Guy
    Oh, all right.
SIGN    Used to it
[12:12] Guy
    We'll only have one Class A
    semifinal match, then.
[12:16] Hiroshi
    Just let Chihaya-chan sleep.
[12:20] Hiroshi
    You worked hard.
[12:22] Kanade
    Tsuboguchi-san...
[12:33] Hiroshi
    Having a rough time?
[12:35] Hiroshi
    But this is it, Eyelashes!
[12:39] Hiroshi
    Most people here think you're just a kid
    who rode a wave of momentum to get here.
[12:46] Lady
    You're playing a high
    schooler in the semifinal?
[12:48] Guy
    Good thing it's not Tsuboguchi-kun.
[12:50] Guy
    Oh, I'm sure Murao-kun can handle it.
[12:53] Hiroshi
    But the members of our society know...
[12:56] Hiroshi
    that you don't have much momentum or luck.
SIGN    Huh?!
SIGN    Huh?! He doesn't mince words!
[13:00] Hiroshi
    What you have is skill.
[13:03] Hiroshi
    Go out there and show that
    your skill's what got you here!
[13:08] Taichi
    Hiroshi-san...
[13:10] Taichi
    Don't say scary stuff like that.
[13:14] Taichi
    If it turns out that
    I don't actually have the skill...
[13:20] Taichi
    Murao-san is an older member
    of Arata's society.
[13:23] Taichi
    There's no doubt he's good.
[13:30] (Flashback) Taichi
    I stole them.
[13:37] Taichi
    Arata...
[13:40] Taichi
    is watching.
[13:43] Haruka
    Sakurazawa-san!
[13:45] Sakura
    Haruka-san.
[13:47] Sakura
    Great playing today. Heading home?
[13:50] Haruka
    I need to get home and make dinner.
[13:52] Haruka
    And there's laundry too, right?
[13:55] Haruka
    Sakurazawa-san, why don't you give
    me your current contact info?
[14:01] Haruka
    I'd like you to practice with me.
[14:05] Haruka
    I'll take better care of my contacts.
[14:08] Haruka
    These glasses just aren't working out.
[14:10] Haruka
    I do have children, so it
    won't be easy to make time,
[14:14] Haruka
    but I've had enough of losing
    before I've given my all.
[14:21] Sakura
    Losing "Impassionate" really
    affected you, didn't it?
[14:29] (Flashback) Guy
    With her fourth consecutive win,
[14:31] (Flashback) Guy
    Queen Chihara Haruka!
[14:36] Haruka
    I'm Inokuma Haruka now!
[14:49] Sakura
    When fast players start to lose their speed,
[14:53] Sakura
    they get fed up and quit.
[14:57] Sakura
    That's what happened to me.
[14:59] (Flashback) Haruka
    I've had enough of losing
    before I've given my all.
SIGN    Ayase Chihaya
SIGN    Murao Shinichi
SIGN    Mashima Taichi
[15:11] Harada
    You seem awfully relaxed, Hiroshi-kun.
[15:14] Hiroshi
    You mean because I yielded to Chihaya-chan?
[15:17] Hiroshi
    But wouldn't you have done the same thing?
[15:20] Hiroshi
    The real battle is in two weeks.
[15:21] Harada
    I'm not young anymore.
[15:25] Harada
    If they'll give me a serious match,
[15:28] Harada
    I'll play like my life depends on it,
    even against a favorite student.
[15:32] Harada
    Because I might still have room to grow.
[15:35] Harada
    Before I play against the Master...
[15:38] Harada
    I can still...
[15:47] Harada
    Damn it...
[15:49] Harada
    That means nothing if I'm here
    losing to Murao-kun.
[15:53] Harada
    We're having a review meeting when this
    is over! You and me, Hiroshi-kun!
[15:56] Hiroshi
    Huh?!
[15:57] Harada
    Shut up! You're joining me!
[16:02] Harada
    Hiroshi-kun...
[16:04] Harada
    If you had been matched with Eyelashes,
    would you have yielded?
[16:11] Hiroshi
    ...show that your skill's what got you here!
[16:15] Hiroshi
    Well, actually...
[16:19] Hiroshi
    I think I would've tried to crush him.
[16:23] Hiroshi
    I would've been as stubborn
    as I was with Wataya-kun.
[16:29] Arata
    This is my first time watching Taichi play.
[16:32] Arata
    He was the biggest surprise of all,
[16:34] Arata
    sticking with karuta and
    even making Class A.
[16:38] (Flashback) Taichi
    I actually have a life, so I can't
    spend all my time playing karuta,
[16:41] (Flashback) Taichi
    but I'll be better than you in no time!
[16:45] Kuri
    What's the deal, Arata-kun?
    You're being a bit creepy.
[16:48] Lady
    It's time.
[16:50] Lady
    The match will now begin.
[16:52] [POEM] Igarashi
    Naniwa Bay, now the flower
    blooms, but for winter
[17:00] Chihaya
    Confirm... Confirm... Confirm...
[17:02] [POEM] Igarashi
    Here comes spring,
    now the flower blooms
SIGN    makes me wonder how I ever let you fade from my mind
[17:05] Chihaya
    One point... One point...
[17:08] Chihaya
    That one point...
[17:10] Chihaya
    "Like a" hasn't come up yet.
[17:12] Chihaya
    Be careful of "Like the."
[17:14] Chihaya
    Inokuma-san wouldn't mistake them.
[17:16] Chihaya
    But make sure to take "Since I."
[17:18] Chihaya
    Take it as soon as I hear the S sound.
SIGN    people would always ask if I was pining for someone
[17:22] Shinobu
    Your class trip is in Kyoto?
[17:24] Shinobu
    That's perfect.
[17:26] Shinobu
    Let's pway in the Queen match together...
SIGN    Swish Swish

[17:32] Chihaya
    In costumes?!
[17:33] Kanade
    Wh-Wh-Wh-What were you
    dreaming about, Chihaya-chan?!
[17:37] Chihaya
    Dreaming?
[17:38] Kanade
    You've been asleep all this time.
[17:40] Chihaya
    What is this wet spot?!
[17:41] Kanade
    Th-That's drool, I think...
[17:43] Chihaya
    Drool?!
[17:44] Kanade
    No! Don't rub it!
SIGN    Drool
[17:46] Chihaya
    B-B-But Kana-chan! My kimono!
[17:49] Kanade
    It's all right! We can get it out for you!
[17:51] Chihaya
    Will it come out?!
[17:53] Kanade
    Yes, it will!
[17:55] Chihaya
    I'm sorry, Mom...
[17:57] Chihaya
    Mom...
[18:03] Kanade
    We have some time. Why don't
    I straighten your kimono for you?
[18:07] Kanade
    Chihaya-chan, you should've had your mom
    come here to cheer you on.
[18:11] Kanade
    She should see you in your brand-new kimono.
[18:13] Chihaya
    Yeah, but she works part-time until evening.
[18:17] Chihaya
    My grandpa out in the country isn't well.
[18:20] Chihaya
    He always says, "I have diabetes
    and all kinds of things,"
SIGN    I have diabetes and all kinds of things
[18:22] Chihaya
    so she sends him money for
    hospital stays and caregiving.
[18:25] Chihaya
    And she did buy this hakama for me.
[18:29] Chihaya
    My sister asks our mom for
    stuff all the time, but...
[18:37] Chihaya
    Wait...
[18:38] Chihaya
    Come to think of it,
[18:40] Chihaya
    what about my match?
[18:58] Kuri
    I can't believe Murao-kun
[19:01] Kuri
    is down by five cards.
    If something doesn't change...
[19:07] Arata
    Murao-san...
[19:10] Kuri
    Yes!
[19:11] Arata
    That's it.
[19:12] Arata
    Be aggressive, Murao-san.
[19:15] Harada
    His simpleminded aggressiveness is
    Murao-kun's strongest asset in karuta.
[19:20] Harada
    He focuses intently on discerning sounds
    and attacks single-mindedly.
[19:25] Harada
    And I've also been teaching Eyelashes to play
    offensive karuta in the Shiranami Society.
[19:34] Harada
    But...
[19:37] Harada
    What is that timing?
[19:40] Harada
    That slight delay
[19:43] Harada
    turns into the perfect defense.
[19:49] Taichi
    Should I test it?
[19:53] Taichi
    Can I do it?
[19:57] Mochida
    He did it!
[19:59] Mochida
    He leaned his whole body forward and turned
    only his arm the other way for a pull-back!
[20:05] Murao
    I can't pull off an attack.
SIGN    How is Mashima playing so freely?
[20:12] Taichi
    Chihaya isn't here.
[20:15] Taichi
    Arata is watching.
[20:17] Taichi
    And...
[20:19] Taichi
    Dr. Harada is weighing him down.
[20:32] Arata
    There's no way Murao-san will lose.
[20:38] Arata
    There's no way.
[20:41] Harada
    Maybe the best way Eyelashes
    can improve is actually...
[20:50] Harada
    with defensive karuta!
[20:54] Both
    Thank you very much.
[20:56] Both
    Thank you very much.
[21:25] Chihaya
    The final is...
