[00:01] Person A
    Good morning.
[00:02] Chihaya
    The karuta club is looking for more members!
SIGN    Let's start a competitive karuta club! Please come see Ayase Chihaya in class 1-2!!
[00:05] Chihaya
    Let's play competitive karuta together!
[00:08] Kanade
    Good morning.
    We're the karuta club.
[00:10] Taichi
    Would you like to join the karuta club?
SIGN    Please hear us out.
[00:14] Kanade
    We're the karuta club.
[00:16] Chihaya
    Please give us a try.
[00:18] Kanade
    Oh, that person...
[00:20] Kanade
    would look wonderful in a hakama!
[00:22] Chihaya
    Really?
[00:24] Chihaya
    Hold on!
[00:26] Chihaya
    Um, would you like to play karuta with us?
[00:28] Chihaya
    You would look great in a hakama!
[00:30] Person A
    N-No, thanks...
[00:31] Person A
    New Year's is enough for me.
[00:33] Taichi
    Hey, are you interested in karuta?
[00:35] Taichi
    It's a pretty intense sport.
[00:37] Person B
    You must be joking.
[00:38] Taichi
    You'll understand if you give it a shot.
SIGN    We need one more member
[00:48] ---
    before we can become an official club.
[00:50] Kanade
    I didn't think that everyone
    would ignore us...
[00:56] Chihaya
    It'll be fine!
[00:57] ---
    We'll find someone perfect!
[01:00] Miya
    This problem is looking at molecular mass.
[01:05] Miya
    When there are an equal number of
    protons, electrons, and neutrons...
[01:10] Miya
    Hmm?
[01:23] Miya
    We'll pick up here next week.
[01:26] Miya
    Make sure you review the
    material we covered.
[01:32] Horikawa
    Chi-chan, the Empress was
    giving you the death stare.
[01:34] Chihaya
    Huh? Really?
[01:35] Horikawa
    You were sound asleep.
[01:37] Horikawa
    What's going on?
[01:39] Chihaya
    I woke up early to recruit
    members for the karuta club,
[01:42] Chihaya
    so I didn't eat breakfast...
[01:43] Horikawa
    Oh, it must be hard for you and Komano-kun.
[01:48] Tsutomu
    First, you flip the cards
    over and shuffle them.
[01:52] Tsutomu
    Next, each player takes 25 cards
[01:53] ---
    and places them on their side of the field.
SIGN    Hundred Poets Competitive Karuta
[01:55] Tsutomu
    The remaining 50 cards will not be used.
[01:58] Tsutomu
    The player's field is 87 centimeters
    long and three rows deep.
[02:02] Chihaya
    You're really enthusiastic
    about this, Desktomu-kun.
SIGN    I have to make up for lost time.
[02:05] Chihaya
    That's right.
[02:06] Chihaya
    We'll start practicing today.
SIGN    Ayase, you should eat lunch.
[02:14] Chihaya
    Y-You could hear that?
SIGN    The whole class could.
[02:20] Person A
    You're out of korokke sandwiches?
[02:22] Person B
    Can I get coffee milk?
[02:24] Lady
    Sure thing.
[02:25] Person B
    Thanks.
[02:25] Chihaya
    They're out of yakisoba sandwiches.
[02:25] Lady
    Here you go.
[02:30] Person A
    Ma'am, can I get two anpan?
[02:32] Lady
    Here you are.
SIGN    Anpan
[02:40] Nishida
    Huh?
[02:41] Chihaya
    It's Porky!
[02:43] Nishida
    Porky?
[02:45] (Flashback) Chihaya
    You can buy your pork buns after I beat you!
SIGN    Chihaya Furu
SIGN    Verse 8
SIGN    The
    Sounds
    of the
    Waterfall
[04:02] Taichi
    So basically, the player
    who takes cards faster
[04:05] ---
    and reduces the number of cards
    on their side to zero, wins.
SIGN    I understand what happens when you take a card on your own side,
SIGN    but what happens when you take from the opponent's side?
[04:13] Taichi
    When that happens, you can choose
    one of the cards on your side
[04:16] Taichi
    and send it to the opponent's side.
[04:19] Kanade
    It's called "sending cards," right?
[04:21] Taichi
    Right, sending cards is
[04:23] ---
    a critical part of the game that
    can turn the tide in a match.
[04:27] Taichi
    You're also allowed to send cards
    if your opponent commits a fault.
[04:30] Taichi
    If you touch a card while the second
    verse is being read, it's a fault.
[04:34] Taichi
    If you touch a card on the opponent's side
[04:35] ---
    when the correct card is
    on your side, it's a fault.
[04:39] Taichi
    The same goes for when you
    touch a card on your side
[04:41] ---
    when the correct card is
    on the opponent's side.
[04:44] Taichi
    However, if you touch the wrong
    card on the correct side,
[04:49] ---
    it's not a fault.
SIGN    Huh? Really?
[04:52] Taichi
    Yep. For example...
[04:54] Chihaya
    Taichi!
[04:55] Chihaya
    Pork!
[04:55] Chihaya
    I found pork!
[04:58] All
    Pork?
[05:04] Chihaya
    Look!
[05:05] Taichi
    You're right!
[05:07] Taichi
    He's a student at our high school...
[05:09] Taichi
    Wait, that getup...
[05:12] Taichi
    He's on the tennis team?
[05:13] Chihaya
    Looks like it.
[05:14] Taichi
    So? Why are we hiding?
[05:18] Chihaya
    Oh, just because.
[05:20] Chihaya
    I asked him to join the karuta club earlier,
[05:22] Chihaya
    and he ran away.
[05:24] Chihaya
    But this time...
[05:27] Taichi
    Hey!
[05:29] Chihaya
    If you have experience,
     you should join the karuta club!
[05:36] Chihaya
    Join!
[05:37] Chihaya
    If you have experience,
    you should join the karuta club!
[05:39] Taichi
    Chihaya!
[05:41] Nishida
    What's wrong with you?
[05:44] Nishida
    Huh?
[05:45] Taichi
    Hey, long time no see.
[05:47] Taichi
    Shut your mouth, fatty!
[05:48] Taichi
    Chihaya's running late!
[05:50] Nishida
    Oh! You're...
[05:53] Chihaya
    Taichi's in the karuta club with me!
[05:56] Chihaya
    I really want you to join us, Porky!
[05:58] Nishida
    My name is Nishida!
[05:59] Nishida
    I already told you that I'm not
    going to join the karuta club!
[06:02] Taichi
    Nishida, did you quit playing karuta?
[06:04] Taichi
    You were really good.
[06:06] Nishida
    Being good at karuta doesn't mean anything.
[06:09] Nishida
    Plus, it's lame.
[06:10] Chihaya
    That's not true!
[06:11] Nishida
    I played tennis in middle school.
[06:14] Nishida
    I plan on continuing in high school.
[06:17] Taichi
    You look good.
[06:18] Nishida
    I know.
[06:19] Nishida
    Besides, if I wanted to play karuta,
    I'd go to the Karuta Society.
[06:22] Nishida
    There's no reason to join a club at school.
[06:24] Chihaya
    Please!
[06:25] Chihaya
    If Porky joins, our karuta
    club can be really strong!
[06:30] Chihaya
    I'm sure you can also become really strong!
[06:32] Nishida
    Won't happen.
     I'm not interested.
[06:34] Chihaya
    You still refuse?
[06:36] Nishida
    I need to go to practice.
[06:38] Nishida
    And my name isn't Porky. It's Nishida!
[06:42] Nishida
    Bye.
[06:43] Chihaya
    Hey, wait a moment!
[06:44] Taichi
    Just forget about him.
[06:48] Taichi
    Let's go back to the clubroom.
[06:50] Chihaya
    Taichi...
[07:17] Person A
    Nice!
[07:18] Person B
    Way to go, Nishida!
[07:19] Person B
    Keep it up!
[07:20] Nishida
    Yes!
[07:22] Person A
    Yamakawa, don't hold back on your serve.
[07:24] Yamakawa
    Understood!
[07:28] Chihaya
    Wow...
[07:29] Chihaya
    Porky is really athletic!
[07:33] Nishida
    Easy!
[07:35] Nishida
    This is easy!
[07:37] Nishida
    Nothing like...
[07:39] Nishida
    Nothing like what happened back then!
[07:57] [POEM] Nishida
    My only thought as the!
[07:59] Chihaya
    Huh?
[08:00] [POEM] Nishida
    My only thought as I!
[08:06] Chihaya
    Is this...
[08:07] [POEM] Nishida
    The hazy early morning mist!
[08:11] Chihaya
    Karuta? The timing for
    multi-syllable cards?
[08:16] Person A
    One more volley!
[08:17] Nishida
    Yes, please!
[08:19] [POEM] Chihaya
    The world offers no escape!
[08:20] Nishida
    Huh?
[08:26] Person A
    Okay, switch!
[08:27] Person A
    Go get the ball!
[08:28] Nishida
    Y-Yes, sir!
[08:35] [POEM] Chihaya
    I hide in the mountains,
    only to hear the haunting cry of a deer.
[08:38] Chihaya
    Porky, you should play karuta!
[08:41] Nishida
    Don't you know when to give up?!
[08:43] Chihaya
    But you're using tennis as
    a substitute for karuta!
[08:46] Chihaya
    That's not fair to tennis!
[08:48] Nishida
    Th-That's none of your business!
[08:51] Nishida
    Stop bugging me!
[08:52] Chihaya
    We'll be waiting for you in the clubroom!
[09:06] Person A
    Nishida!
[09:07] Person A
    Your legs are slowing down!
[09:09] Person A
    Keep your eyes on the ball!
[09:11] Person A
    You're too slow!
[09:23] Person A
    What's wrong, Nishida?
[09:25] Person A
    Are you okay?
[09:27] Nishida
    I'm sorry.
[09:29] Nishida
    I need to go home now.
[09:31] Person A
    Oh, I see.
[09:34] Person A
    The second-years are next!
[09:43] Taichi
    Like I was saying earlier,
     it isn't a fault
[09:46] Taichi
    when you touch the wrong card but it's
[09:49] ---
    on the same side as the correct card.
SIGN    Yes.
[09:52] Taichi
    So now...
[09:54] Taichi
    Take these two cards which start the same.
[09:56] Taichi
    "The world offers no change" and
    "The world offers no escape."
[09:59] Taichi
    They're called "like cards."
[10:01] Taichi
    You have to wait until the fifth word
[10:03] ---
    before you know which card to take.
[10:06] Taichi
    However, if both cards are on the same side,
[10:10] Taichi
    as soon as you hear "The world,"
[10:14] Taichi
    you can take either one.
SIGN    I see...
[10:18] Taichi
    However, this also makes it
    easier for your opponent.
[10:22] Taichi
    When the like cards are on your side,
[10:24] Taichi
    it might be a good idea
[10:27] ---
    to send one of them
     to the opponent's side.
[10:29] Kanade
    Excuse me.
[10:32] Chihaya
    Porky!
[10:33] Nishida
    It's Nishida!
[10:36] Nishida
    Don't get the wrong idea!
[10:37] Nishida
    I'm not here to join!
[10:39] Chihaya
    What?!
[10:40] Nishida
    I wanted to see what you're doing here,
[10:43] Nishida
    but it looks like you're
    at a grade school level.
[10:45] Taichi
    These two are beginners.
[10:47] Taichi
    They have to start somewhere.
[10:48] Chihaya
    If you join,
    our club will be much stronger!
[10:51] Nishida
    No way!
[10:52] Nishida
    It's pointless if I'm the
    only one who's any good!
[10:55] Kanade
    Is he really so special?
[10:58] Taichi
    Number two in the country.
[11:00] Taichi
    This was back when we were in grade school.
SIGN    Oh.
[11:03] Nishida
    Karuta is about talent!
[11:05] Nishida
    It doesn't matter how hard we practice!
[11:07] Nishida
    We can never beat Wataya Arata!
[11:13] Nishida
    Well, give it your best shot.
[11:15] Nishida
    I'll be giving tennis my best shot.
[11:17] Nishida
    Bye.
[11:18] Taichi
    Wait.
[11:19] Nishida
    What is it?
[11:22] Taichi
    Chihaya, play a match against Nishida.
[11:24] Chihaya
    Huh?
[11:25] Nishida
    I refuse!
[11:26] Nishida
    It's a waste of time.
[11:28] Taichi
    You're gonna run away?
[11:30] Taichi
    Chihaya never gave up on karuta.
[11:33] Taichi
    Why don't you see for yourself
    how strong someone can become
[11:37] ---
    when they put in the effort?
[11:41] Taichi
    Or are you scared of losing?
[11:45] Taichi
    Come to think of it,
     you struggled against
[11:46] ---
    Chihaya when she was just a
    beginner back in grade school.
[11:49] Taichi
    Hard to say who would win now.
[11:51] Nishida
    Hell no!
[11:53] Chihaya
    Porky, let's play karuta!
[12:01] Nishida
    Promise me this...
[12:04] Nishida
    If I win the match,
[12:07] Nishida
    you'll never bother me again!
[12:09] Nishida
    Plus, you'll have to buy me
    pork buns for a month!
[12:13] Chihaya
    Bring it!
[12:40] Taichi
    Memorization time is over.
[12:43] Both
    Thank you for this match.
[12:47] Both
    Thank you for this match.
[12:52] [POEM] Taichi

    blooms, but for winter

    My only thought as I am put out to sea...
SIGN    Amazing!
[13:21] Kanade
    He's taken three straight
    cards off Chihaya-chan.
[13:29] Nishida
    I was worried that I might
    have lost my touch,
[13:31] Nishida
    but my body feels so light.
[13:33] Nishida
    I guess all that tennis helped.
[13:36] Taichi
    Come on, Chihaya...
[13:38] Taichi
    You don't have time to be smiling.
[13:43] Nishida
    That's right...
[13:44] Nishida
    Whenever I won, people would praise me.

[14:09] Nishida
    I started playing karuta because it was fun.
SIGN    Big Helping

    But at some point, I started playing to win.
SIGN    National Champion or Bust
[14:19] Nishida
    And then...
[14:35] Nishida
    He showed me what a difference talent made.
[14:43] Nishida
    That's why I ran away.
[14:46] Nishida
    Ran away from karuta...
[14:51] Kanade
    Chihaya-chan took another card!
SIGN    Nishida-kun has 17 cards left.
SIGN    Ayase has 15 left.

[15:00] Nishida
    No, I need to focus!
[15:02] Nishida
    Turn the tide!
[15:06] [POEM] Taichi
    Since I could not hide...
[15:10] Taichi
    He's good.
[15:13] Taichi
    He targeted a card on the opponent's
    side to turn things around.
[15:17] Taichi
    Now, which card will he send?
SIGN    He's going to send a card.
[15:28] Kanade
    Yes.
SIGN    is that I have no way to tell you in person

[15:48] Kanade
    Chihaya-chan was ready to take the like cards
[15:52] ---
    "After I determined" and
    "After I heard" together.
SIGN    Oh, I see.
SIGN    The technique he just showed us.

SIGN    He's up one card.
[16:17] Taichi
    Chihaya is usually better towards
    the end of a match,
[16:19] ---
    and she's still losing.
[16:23] Nishida
    I'm starting to remember how this works.
[16:25] Nishida
    Everything feels so familiar.
[16:27] Chihaya
    I'm so glad!
[16:30] Chihaya
    You don't hate karuta!
[16:34] Nishida
    Don't forget your promise!

[17:15] Nishida
    Then how did she move so fast?!

    There are cards where Chihaya
    can hear the next syllable.
[17:21] Taichi
    She has incredible senses.

    Hear the next syllable?
[17:29] Nishida
    Five cards left on my side.

    She just happens to really like karuta...

    Good practice!

    Yes. Good practice, everyone.

    You're so good, Porky!
[18:59] Nishida
    Bye.
[19:00] Chihaya
    Huh?
[19:02] Taichi
    Nishida.
[19:05] Taichi
    Hey, why don't you join our karuta club?
[19:09] Taichi
    To be honest, I'm not good enough
    to practice with Chihaya.
[19:13] Taichi
    We need someone as strong as you.
[19:17] Taichi
    Hey!
[19:18] Chihaya
    Taichi, it's okay.
[19:26] Chihaya
    Sorry, Porky.
[19:29] Chihaya
    I'll stop pestering you about joining.
[19:31] Chihaya
    But this was a lot of fun!
[19:33] Chihaya
    Thanks for playing karuta with me!
[19:37] Miya
    Nishida-kun!
[19:39] Nishida
    Huh?
[19:40] Miya
    I thought you went home?
[19:43] Miya
    What are you doing here?
[19:45] Miya
    Don't tell me that you
    were skipping practice?
[19:49] Chihaya
    Uh-oh.
[19:50] Miya
    Nishida-kun, explain yourself.
[19:59] Nishida
    Coach, I'm...
[20:01] ---
    quitting the tennis team.
[20:03] Both
    Huh?
[20:03] Miya
    You're quitting?
[20:05] Nishida
    I want to play karuta!
[20:07] Chihaya
    Porky...
[20:09] Miya
    Nishida-kun, are you serious?
[20:12] Nishida
    Yes.
[20:13] Nishida
    These guys are telling me that
    they need me to start the club.
[20:17] Nishida
    And karuta is still...
[20:21] Nishida
    Tennis can never replace karuta!
[20:28] Miya
    I understand.
[20:30] Miya
    I expect you to submit
    your resignation shortly.
[20:35] Kanade
    We finally have our last member!
[20:38] Taichi
    Thank you, Nishida!
[20:41] Nishida
    But in return for joining, Mashima...
[20:45] Nishida
    Make her stop calling me "Porky"!
[20:48] Chihaya
    Huh? Why do you want me to stop, Porky?
[20:50] Nishida
    Stop calling me "Porky"!
[20:52] Chihaya
    Fine, Porky.
[20:54] Chihaya
    Let's play another match!
[20:56] Nishida
    Bring it!
[20:56] Nishida
    I'm gonna get revenge!
[20:58] Nishida
    Wait! Stop calling me "Porky"!
[22:17] Chihaya
    Okay.
