[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...

[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!
