[00:04] Both
    Thank you very much!
[00:06] Chi
    What?
[00:07] Chi
    Porky was crushed?!
SIGN    Lost by 13 cards
[00:13] Tai
    If I speak, it shouldn't be
    to ask if she's okay.
[00:17] Tai
    It should be to announce
    a win for Mizusawa!
[00:20] [POEM] N
    may the wind bring clouds
    to extend their stay.
[00:31] [POEM] N
    In the sleepy...
[00:37] Hara
    Chihaya-chan, are you...
[00:42] Hara
    ...trying to use both
    of their strengths?
SIGN    Chihaya Furu
SIGN    Verse 6
SIGN    To set the Tatsuta River ablaze
[01:58] [POEM] N
    In the sleepy spring sunlight,
[02:05] Ama
    What?
[02:07] Ama
    "In order to restore" hasn't been read yet.
[02:10] Ama
    "In the sleepy" isn't a
    one-syllable card yet.
SIGN    In the
SIGN    sleepy
SIGN    In order
SIGN    to restore
[02:13] Ama
    So why?
[02:14] Ama
    Was it because she was
    camping that card?
[02:18] Ama
    I think she moved before
    I even heard "In" spoken.
[02:23] Ama
    That's impossible!
[02:25] Ama
    No human is capable of that.
[02:28] Ama
    She just happened to guess right!
[02:31] Sudo
    Focus, Amakasu!
[02:34] Sudo
    She's not guessing cards!
[02:37] Sudo
    Ayase Chihaya can hear.
[02:41] Sudo
    She can hear!
[02:45] Sudo
    I don't know what it is in
    my voice that she can hear,
[02:48] Sudo
    but there's a difference between
[02:50] ---
    the "In" in "In the" and the "In" in "In order."
[02:53] Sudo
    I want to know what
    it is I'm telling her.
[03:00] Sudo
    My voice isn't
[03:03] Sudo
    telling her anything...
[03:04] [POEM] N
    a whirlwind of flower petals descends.
[03:12] Sudo
    She's taking control of my voice...
[03:14] [POEM] N
    Nothing can be worse...
[03:18] Ama
    Again?
[03:20] Ama
    "No more" is still in play,
    but she moved on "No."
[03:24] Ama
    There are other players who
    can move fast or react fast,
[03:28] Ama
    but that's not what she's doing here...
[03:38] Ama
    Huh?
[03:45] (Flashback) Hara
    Nine months have passed...
[03:47] (Flashback) Hara
    Stop taking cards with your speed.
[03:50] Hara
    It must have been hard, Chihaya-chan,
[03:53] Hara
    but you've made incredible progress.
[03:57] Hara
    You concentrated on your
    accuracy the first half,
[04:01] Hara
    and now you're taking risks to
    take cards with your speed.
[04:07] Hara
    You're giving yourself more weapons!
[04:10] (Flashback) A
    There are 28 one-syllable cards for him.
[04:15] (Flashback) Desk
    You have 20!
[04:26] Chi
    This is what I wanted...
[04:28] Chi
    What I could never explain...
[04:31] Chi
    The sound that comes
    before a sound forms...
[04:33] Chi
    I'm finally able to say I can hear it, too!
[04:39] [POEM] N
    when I cannot bear growing any
    weaker than I already have.
[04:48] [POEM] Ama
    A mountain stream...
SIGN    when people and grass grow scarce
[04:49] Ama
    Crap! A fault!
[04:52] Ama
    Damn!
[04:54] Ama
    This is bad.
[04:56] Ama
    A fault this late in the match...
[04:58] Ama
    I'm in trouble!
[05:01] Sudo
    Amakasu! Say something!
[05:03] Sudo
    Don't let your opponent focus!
[05:05] Sudo
    Say that she's encroaching
    on the playing field
[05:07] ---
    or that there's a hair
    sticking out of her nose!
[05:10] Sudo
    Now I know how it
    feels to be a reader!
[05:15] Sudo
    I don't want to interfere!
[05:17] [POEM] N
    as helpless autumn leaves are
    caught against the flow.
[05:25] [POEM] N
    While autumn leaves...
[05:27] Sudo
    Not when she's this focused!
[05:32] Tsu
    His five-card lead is
    gone, just like that.
[05:40] Ama
    Damn, why do I have to
    play such a tough match?
[05:43] Ama
    This is all Retro's fault!
[05:53] Ama
    Retro's losing his own match!
[05:56] Retro
    Our ace against their ace.
[05:59] Retro
    Our number two against
    their number two.
[06:01] Retro
    Isn't that how we should win?!
[06:04] Retro
    Hokuo Academy is the
    strongest school in Tokyo!
[06:07] Retro
    That's what I want to show everyone!
[06:18] Ama
    Sudo-san is gone.
[06:20] Ama
    I'm the Hokuo ace now.
[06:23] Ama
    In every other sport I tried,
[06:25] ---
    I was told that I could
    never be a starter,
[06:28] Ama
    but in my last summer here,
[06:30] ---
    the members voted for me to lead them.
[06:33] [POEM] N
    Said world grants no change, I pray,
[06:38] Hara
    "Said world grants no change"
    is a five-syllable card.
[06:40] Hara
    Chihaya-chan covered the
    "Said world grants no escape" card
[06:44] ---
    on her side before attacking
    the opponent's side.
[06:47] Ama
    My body may be small,
[06:49] Ama
    but I can still cover my
    own cards against a girl.
[06:53] Ama
    I don't need a big lead.
[06:55] Ama
    One card is all it takes.
[06:57] Ama
    I'll still win in the end...
[06:59] Ama
    by playing karuta the Hokuo way.
[07:02] Mochi
    Amakasu-kun is working hard.
[07:05] Mochi
    I want him to be able to relax...
[07:07] Mochi
    Why haven't Takuma and Kameda won yet?
[07:14] Desk
    I can tell my teammates
    are trying their best.
[07:18] Desk
    I can see that my
    opponent is worn down.
[07:21] Taku
    Why can't I pull ahead? What's wrong?
[07:25] Taku
    He was a weak amateur last year!
[07:28] Taku
    I need to finish this match quickly!
[07:31] Desk
    I lost to Takuma-kun
    by 15 cards, last year.
[07:35] [POEM] N
    when the fisherman who casts
    his nets can seem dear.
[07:36] Desk
    All he remembers is
    that he crushed me.
[07:39] Desk
    He's not taking me seriously,
[07:40] ---
    so he's placed all his
    cards to the lower right.
[07:44] [POEM] N
    Impassionate gods...
[07:46] Sumi
    Yes!
[07:47] Sumi
    All four of them got it!
[07:48] Taku
    W-Wait!
[07:50] Taku
    "Impassioned vows" is still in play,
    so I was able to cover in time!
SIGN    I touched the card first.
SIGN    I moved around your hand to tap it from the side.
[08:00] Taku
    It's easier to bypass a right-handed
    cover with your left hand.
[08:04] Taku
    Was that his goal?!
[08:07] Desk
    Of course, Takuma-kun has played
    karuta much longer than I have.
[08:11] Desk
    However, in the year
    since I lost to him,
[08:16] Desk
    I've had more fun playing
    karuta than he has.
[08:20] Desk
    I just know it!
[08:23] [POEM] N
    are joined at river's end.
[08:26] Kana
    Two cards left...
[08:32] [POEM] N
    May the time spent in our one night together
[08:37] Pork
    Kana-chan has one card left.
[08:39] Pork
    Mashima, Ayase, and Desktomu-kun
    have two cards left.
[08:43] Pork
    Crazy...
[08:45] Pork
    I've never seen a match where
    four games were all this close.
[08:48] Pork
    All four may possibly come down to luck-of-the-draw.
[08:52] Tsu
    The finals are incredible.
[08:55] Hara
    All four games are down
    to three cards total.
[08:58] Hara
    It's possible that we could see...
[09:01] Pork
    Crap!
[09:02] Pork
    Crap! Crap! Crap!
[09:05] Pork
    Mashima! Ayase! Desktomu-kun! Kana-chan!
[09:07] Pork
    Pay attention!
[09:08] Pork
    If all four of you are put in
[09:09] ---
    luck-of-the-draw situations
    without realizing it, we'll lose!
[09:12] Pork
    We're guaranteed to lose!
[09:14] [POEM] N
    bring a life of everlasting love.
[09:23] [POEM] N
    I know that my heart...
[09:24] Pork
    N-No way!
[09:27] Sumi
    Huh?! What?!
[09:28] Sumi
    They moved so fast that I
    couldn't tell what happened.
[09:30] Tsu
    Ayase-senpai, Mashima-senpai, and
    Komano-senpai won their cards.
[09:35] Pork
    I've never seen this happen before...
[09:38] Pork
    Four simultaneous luck-of-the-draws!
[09:45] Taku
    Uh, I'm moving "The hazed early" left.
[09:51] Desk
    Is he doing this because
    I'm left-handed?
[09:53] Retro
    I'm moving "The fall paddy" left.
[09:56] Retro
    Oh, sorry. I think I'll move it back.
[09:58] Tai
    No, that's not what
    they're trying to do!
[10:01] Pork
    Ayase! Please!
[10:03] Pork
    Look around you!
SIGN    Thinking about which card to send
[10:04] Pork
    Don't look at the cards!
    Look around you!
[10:07] Pork
    Wait until Kana-chan has received hers!
[10:09] Pork
    Don't send your card yet!
SIGN    but from the crystal white snow of Yoshino
[10:14] Kame
    I'm sending "The hazed early."
[10:21] Desk
    They got us.
[10:28] Pork
    Hokuo...
[10:31] Pork
    ...successfully split their cards.
[10:35] Pork
    In a luck-of-the-draw, the rule
    is to protect your own card.
[10:39] Pork
    Whoever's card is read, wins.
[10:41] Pork
    It's a 50-50 contest.
[10:43] Pork
    But in this situation...
[10:46] Tsu
    Hokuo is good.
[10:48] Tsu
    You can tell they're
    used to team matches.
[10:50] Tsu
    They were able to split their cards.
[10:53] Hara
    Splitting your cards
[10:55] ---
    is a strategy employed towards
    the end of a team match.
[10:58] Hara
    In a 5 vs. 5 team match, you
    only need three wins to win.
[11:03] Hara
    In other words, the team
    that already has one win
[11:06] ---
    only needs two wins out
    of the luck-of-the-draw.
[11:09] Hara
    So to ensure victory, they made sure
[11:12] ---
    that they have two of each
    of the remaining cards.
[11:16] Hara
    After "I know that my heart" was read,
SIGN    Amakasu vs. Ayase
SIGN    Takuma vs. Komano
SIGN    Kinashi vs. Mashima Kameda vs. Oe
[11:19] Hara
    they casually told their
    teammates what their card was.
[11:24] (Flashback) Taku
    Uh, I'm moving "The hazed early" left.
[11:32] (Flashback) Retro
    I'm moving "The fall paddy" left.
[11:34] (Flashback) Retro
    Oh, sorry. I think I'll move it back.
[11:40] (Flashback) Hara
    They waited until they saw
    which card Chihaya-chan sent,
SIGN    but from the crystal white snow of Yoshino
[11:49] (Flashback) Kame
    I'm sending "The hazed early."
[11:51] Hara
    before setting everything up
    by sending the final card.
SIGN    The hazed early The hazed early
    dawn light dawn light
SIGN    The fall paddy The fall paddy
[11:58] Hara
    Now their cards are split.
[12:02] Hara
    As a team, they have two of each card,
[12:06] ---
    so regardless of which card is read,
[12:08] ---
    as long as they protect their
    own cards, they'll win.
[12:11] Tsu
    It's a strategy that's
    borderline against the rules.
[12:13] Mochi
    Oh, I should ask Tashiro-kun
    to provide a ruling.
[12:18] Hara
    Mizusawa should have tried
    for a 3 to 1 split.
SIGN    The hazed early dawn light comes not from the moon
[12:25] Hara
    Then, it would have come down to luck.
[12:28] Hara
    They would have had a
    50% chance of winning.
SIGN    Hokuo wins
SIGN    The fall paddy shacks have rough thatching
SIGN    Mizusawa wins
[12:34] Hara
    Now, they can only win if
    they take an opponent's card.
[12:39] Tai
    Crap...
[12:41] Tai
    It's basically impossible
    for us to win now!
[12:44] Caption
    Only looking at her own cards Can't see the cards that are further away
[12:46] Tai
    We were unprepared...
[12:48] Tai
    I never thought this might happen.
[12:51] Tai
    Our lack of experience in
    team matches is showing!
[12:53] Tai
    This is the worst time for Hokuo's
    karuta experience to pay off!
[13:01] Chi
    Huh?
SIGN    The hazed early dawn light
SIGN    The fall paddy
SIGN    The hazed early dawn light
SIGN    The fall paddy
[13:03] Chi
    Does this mean...
[13:05] Chi
    ...it's really hard for
    us to score three wins?
[13:08] Chi
    No way! What do we do? What do we do?
[13:19] Pork
    What am I doing...
[13:21] Pork
    I told our first-year
    that I'd make him strong,
[13:25] Pork
    then I alone lost early on....
[13:28] Pork
    I'm pathetic!
[13:29] Pork
    They're all fighting!
    Giving their all!
[13:34] Pork
    This is all my fault!
[13:44] Ama
    Practicing swings that reach my side?
[13:47] Pork
    Is Ayase planning to attack
    her opponent's side?!
[13:58] Sumi
    Mashima-senpai...
[14:00] Tai
    "The hazed early dawn light" and
    "The fall paddy" are on the field.
[14:03] Tai
    The dead cards that
    haven't been read are
[14:06] Tai
    "Long," "Impassioned Vows," "Like the,"
    "The hazed field," "The fall wind"...
[14:13] Tai
    We can't move on "The hazed" or "The fall."
[14:16] Tai
    It all comes down to
    the third syllable!
[14:19] Tai
    If "The hazed early" is read,
    Chihaya will take the opponent's card!
[14:24] Tai
    If "The fall paddy" is read,
    I'll take the opponent's card!
[14:29] Tai
    We're not giving up!
[14:31] Tai
    Mizusawa will take three wins!
[14:33] Tai
    We'll be the champions!
[14:36] [POEM] N
    Long last we meet...
[14:38] [POEM] N
    Like the sound of someone
    knocking on my door,
[14:42] A
    They're really trying to
    take the opponent's cards?
[14:45] B
    Mizusawa is serious about attacking...
[14:48] Retro
    This isn't a typical luck-of-the-draw.
[14:51] Retro
    Unlike Mizusawa, none of us need
    to attack the opponent's side.
[14:56] Retro
    We just have to focus on
    protecting our own cards.
[14:59] Retro
    It's impossible to penetrate
    that kind of defense!
[15:03] Retro
    Mashima must know that!
[15:05] Tai
    I'm taking it!
[15:07] Retro
    He has to!
[15:08] Tai
    I'm taking it!
[15:09] [POEM] N
    ...blown by the autumn wind.
[15:14] [POEM] N
    The fall wind parts the wispy clouds
[15:22] Retro
    A fault...
[15:27] Tai
    One win for Mizusawa!
[15:38] Hara
    That wasn't just a simple
    mistake by Retro-kun.
[15:41] Hara
    Eyelashes' focus and
    unwavering persistence
[15:45] Hara
    pushed Retro-kun into that error.
[15:49] Hara
    Luck-of-the-draw isn't about luck.
[15:52] Hara
    Luck doesn't decide a match!
[15:57] Hara
    Each school has one win.
[16:00] Hara
    It's an even match now.
[16:04] Ama
    What the hell, Retro?!
[16:07] Ama
    First, you lied about
    your retrot cards.
[16:10] Ama
    Now, you made a mistake that
    ruined our perfect split!
[16:14] Ama
    What if we lose?!
[16:16] Ama
    How are you going to make up for this?!
[16:19] Ama
    I'll sock him.
[16:20] (Flashback) Ama
    The two remaining teams get
    to go to Nationals, right?
[16:23] (Flashback) Ama
    We don't need to try that hard, then.
[16:27] Ama
    I'll sock him.
[16:29] Ama
    I'll win...
[16:31] Ama
    I'll win and sock Retro hard!
[16:37] A
    The Hokuo ace is also
    practicing offensive swings.
[16:39] B
    He's going to attack.
[16:44] Mochi
    Amakasu-kun...
[16:46] Ama
    Cover my card on "The."
[16:48] Ama
    If the next syllable is "fall," I attack.
[16:51] Ama
    If it's "The hazed field," I cover,
[16:53] Ama
    and if it's "The hazed
    early," I clamp down.
[16:55] Ama
    There's no such thing
    as a throw-away match!
[16:58] Ama
    We're Hokuo!
[17:00] Ama
    Hokuo wins!
[17:01] Sudo
    Amakasu...
[17:04] Sudo
    Be careful, Amakasu!
[17:06] Sudo
    There are people...
[17:08] [POEM] N
    to reveal moonlight, clear and bright.
[17:13] Sudo
    capable of clearing their
    minds in this situation.
[17:17] [POEM] N
    The hazed early dawn light
    comes not from the moon
[17:24] Sumi
    Who got it?! Who got the card?!
[17:27] Tsu
    I can't tell! They moved too fast!
[17:29] Mochi
    Who got it?!
[17:29] Hara
    Who moved faster?!
[17:31] Ama
    It's mine! I moved faster!
[17:33] Chi
    No.
[17:33] Ama
    I touched it first!
[17:35] Chi
    No.
[17:35] Ama
    Ref!
[17:38] Chi
    No.
[17:42] Chi
    It was
[17:45] Chi
    at the same time.
[17:46] Ama
    Huh?
[17:49] Tashiro
    In that case, it goes to
    the side the card was on.
[17:51] Tashiro
    Amakasu-kun wins.
[17:54] Chi
    Thank you very much.
[17:58] Mochi
    Hokuo Academy wins the Tokyo regional
[18:02] ---
    over Mizusawa High School 3-2!
[18:05] All
    Thank you very much.
[18:08] A
    Wow, that was an incredible final.
[18:10] B
    That was exciting.
[18:11] C
    That was a once-in-a-decade
    kind of match.
[18:13] Sudo
    Amakasu.
[18:16] Sudo
    Is Hokuo the strongest team in Tokyo?
[18:22] Ama
    No.
[18:24] Ama
    On the last card, I only moved
    because I felt Ayase move.
[18:28] Ama
    If it had been "The hazed field,"
    I would have committed a fault.
[18:30] Ama
    I couldn't hear a thing.
[18:34] Ama
    After that match, I can't say that
    Hokuo is the strongest team.
[18:38] Sudo
    Lame.
[18:40] Sudo
    If you can't be the
    strongest team in Tokyo,
[18:43] Sudo
    show me that you're the
    strongest team in Japan.
[18:46] Ama
    Sudo-san...
[18:47] Sudo
    I'll be coming to watch on your budget.
SIGN    Shouldn't we wake up Ayase?
[18:56] Kana
    Yes, the closing ceremony's
    about to begin.
[18:59] Pork
    E-Everyone! I'm sorry!
[19:01] Pork
    It's all because I screwed up!
[19:03] Pork
    Because I lost first!
[19:07] Tai
    Chihaya...
[19:10] Chi
    Th-That was fun!
[19:14] Chi
    That was the most fun we've had!
[19:23] Tai
    Five matches is really difficult.
[19:27] Tai
    Huh? Where's Tsukuba?
SIGN    He said he was going somewhere with his brothers.
[19:31] Kana
    They're really close.
[19:33] Chi
    Guys! We start practicing
    for Nationals tomorrow!
[19:36] Tai
    Chihaya!
[19:38] Tai
    Let everyone rest for a day.
[19:39] Chi
    What?!
[19:43] Tai
    Huh? Aren't you going
    this way, Hanano-san?
[19:47] Sumi
    Sorry, I have something to do.
[19:56] Hara
    What?! You want to join
    the Shiranami society!
[19:59] Hara
    All four of you?!
[20:00] Hara
    Really?!
[20:01] Tsu
    Yes, please accept us.
[20:03] D
    What's a karuta society?
[20:05] C
    Can we become strong?
[20:06] B
    I'm gonna become a Master.
[20:13] Hara
    Oh, we meet again.
[20:17] Hara
    Will you be number five?
[20:22] Chi
    Bye!
[20:23] Chi
    We start practicing for
    Nationals in two days!
[20:39] Chi

[20:41] Chi
    An e-mail from Arata!
[20:48] [Messenger] Caption
    Did you have fun at the
    high school regional final?
[21:00] (Flashback) Arata
    Why are you crying?
[21:02] (Flashback) Arata
    It was really fun.
[21:13] Chi
    Arata.
[21:15] Chi
    That match was the most
    fun I've ever had,
[21:21] Chi
    and it was the most
    difficult loss I've ever had.
