| Yumin, first characther I dislike in this anime. She annoyed me. Like, STFU with the arguing you bitch :P |
 |
| OKAY!!! FUCK EVERYONE!!!! -___________- I really felt like crying for Chihaya in this episode!! T____T Those dumb bitches and that pork bun kid were rooting for that ex-queen! -___- Talk about a stab in the back -_______- I thought it was a plan for disaster when Chihaya got cocky with the match and being over confident that she will win, but still, I hate Yumin! -____- I HOPE THE QUEEN AND CHIHAYA CRUSH HER LITTLE SPIRIT!!!! >:OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO -______- |
| This episode was pretty lame, lol. I would have argued back as well. "I don't see any high-speed, stop motion cameras in this room that can prove you touched it first, lolol" |

Color me freaking impressed if they can pull it off, but I highly doubt it. I've given this series a 10/10 since the beginning and I don't want to see this being all rushed at the end. I really do hope we get more. I agree. - I was also ticked off at the ex-queen. so freakin' annoying!!! :| So did Chihaya really lose? or was the ex-queen lieing? o.0 |
"Wait for the signal, and I'll meet you after dark" |
| idk.. i think Chihaya annoyed me more than Yumin in this episode. Not cause she got all cocky about possibly beating the previous queen but cause she needs to stop losing. lol |
| I liked Yumin. |
 |
| Ok, that Yumin was annoying. I actually hoped Chihaya would fight back and show confidence that she touched it first but... Oh well. Only good thing about this episode is Kana-chan finding out how cool the Top Card Readers can be (and maybe hinting something?). To me, this and the episode when Taichi lost kind of break the charm of this anime. Not that they should win all the time... I hope they pull something cool, refreshing and passionate out of the next 3eps. |

| Argh. Chihaya better not lose in the last episode. That would be a terrible way to conclude the anime . _ . |
Lestrade said: In the end Chihaya got too hot-headed again and lost her temper which leaded to her defeat. While it would have been great if she had won there's no denying that Yumin probably had more experience and also plays more tactical. There's a difference between being tactical and being dirty. I though Yumin's playing in the second half was very dirty. |
SilencedSoul said: I liked Yumin. Yes, someone agrees with me. |
| Don't care if it's legal in the actual game, but Yumin was a bitch, pure and simple. |

| Chihaya shoulda called bull shit on everything she said and made her prove it thats what i woulda done |

| Chihaya should have contested every card too and never allowed the bitch to take even one close card. Being kind and forgiving when you want to play at top level in any sports (well, at mostly anything really) is a cruel mistake you have to correct as soon as possible. At least if I was playing, I can assure you the former Queen wouldn't have taken any of those close cards, they would have had to give a personal referee (and potential video replays ;)) for the match ! Ahh, Chihayafuru, always so powerful emotionally and so perfect in terms of characterization that you really feel like you're a part of the show. Fantastic. |

DarthObsidian said: Why don't they have judges watching each match to settle these disputes? Or even better, have a camera on the ceiling above each match so they know for sure? It seems really stupid to let players decide for themselves who touched it first, since a player like Yumin will just lie and say "I touched it first" wether they did or not and keep arguing until their opponent gives up. This. Makes me rage! That "Yumin" character is so bitchy....just because she doesn't have any other redeeming features besides being slightly good at Karuta. Isn't there someone that watches over them play like a referee kinda guy? If there is, what the hell are they doing, picking their nose!? As for Chihaya, remember what Dr Haruda said..."Every card on the field is yours!" so fight for it! Hope she gets her ass handed to her by Shinobu again if she even makes it that far by playing dirty. |

MM-Rosiie said: I can see it now, Chihaya loses to some unranked player and she commits suicide. Arata follows her because that is how much he loves her. Taichi goes off and bangs multiple chicks to relieve his sorrow. Nikuman eats nikuman. Desk guy marries Ooe and not a single fuck was given.Argh. Chihaya better not lose in the last episode. That would be a terrible way to conclude the anime . _ . |

| This lose will hopefully help Chihaya grow, but god it pissed me off to the point I wanted to put my fist through the screen. |
 |
| God, that Yumin reminds me of those kids who would always try get 1 more mark on a test from the teacher, and argue day and night just for that one more mark. You win by raw skills, not through a debate. |

| I get the feeling, that chihaya is going to dispute the last card...and make a comeback somehow in ep 23. |

Me too! More than "get the feeling" I was hoping for that too... Damn, Chihaya is just to cute to go against such devious opponents... She went for "I'm passionate with this game" to being passive, let Yumin contest all of her cards and lose her confidence because "she was cocky against the previous Queen" (but given the circumstances at the beginning hell yeah, she should have been!). Oh well, she is still young, those mistakes are normal. I'm sure she'll grow a lot stronger from it. B-but the anime is already so near to its end! x_x |
| omg this episode was really horrible because for the past few times now Chihaya lost her matches so its pretty sad. and that yumin girl was annoying as heck. |

Maybe those three final epis are all about Arata becoming the Meijin? That I can see being done in such a short time and would be a nice way to close the series. |
| This episode was okay... Yumin kinda pissed me off, but someone's gotta win and someone's gotta lose. I just don't know how this show will wrap up.... ....2nd season please!?! |
  |
| I didn't like this episode. I found it irritating. The pacing was unpleasant. It wasn't just Yumi, Kitano-sensei was also irritating. The window scene went on for too long. There was too much condensation on the windows. And they kept recycling the same stuff again and again. The execution of their idea was poorly done. Offhand, it's the first time that the show failed in delivering game drama that kept me interested. I'm sure that they'll get back on track next episode. |
| If there was a way to prove that Yumin is always right then I would say that she's just taking her deserved point. In reality though, she must have stolen a lot of card that were suposed to be Chihaya's. I despise this kind of gameplay. |
 |
| Reminds me of boxing in Hajime no Ippo lol |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |
| PEOPLE! This episode sucked because the writer did a masterful job of making you emotionally vested with Chihaya! That's the whole point! |
| I think everyone is FUCKING PISSED at Yumin right now, but I don't hate her. Her playstyle is EXTREMELY IRRITATING and MADE ME WANT TO PUNCH MY SCREEN but she fought for what she wanted and thought was right, Chihaya should of fought back! As we all know, you fight for what you want and believe is right and I don't think Yumin lied about any of those contentions, she didn't seem like the type to. She's just very stubborn! AND VERY FUCKING ANNOYING! But I liked her! I probably would of liked her more if she didn't pawn Chihaya! Im so sad for her now :'( If they don't announce a second season soon I think I'm going to have a rage fest! Theres absolutely NO WAY they can wrap this anime up in 3 episodes now! It would be a miracle if they could! I've loved this show so much and if the ending is rushed I think I'll cry... On another note: THIS. MANGAKA. MUST. BE. A. SADIST! I have NEVER seen a sports anime where they've lost so much and failed! It's making this show SUPER ENDEARING but god it's like torment to watch! Everytime they lose I want to jump through the freaking screen and hug them! It's teaching them things and helping them learn and actually very realistic! I can't wait to see how they all turn out! This anime has had so much character development and growth! One of the BEST animes I've seen in ages! Also NAWWWWWWWW Kana was so cute this ep! Just her quick 2 min snippet confirmed what I thought would be great for her! I've always thought Kana would be a good reader and now it looks like she'll pursue that! I LOVED when she read cards when they trained, her voice was not grating on the ears like alot of the readers have been xD It suits her so well to! I can't wait til next weeks episode! As per usual >_< |
| now I wonder if that was fair.... |

Jay_Ox said: The ex-Queen didn't win that match, Chihiya lost it I totally agree. It was a bitter defeat as her spirit collapsed. I so admire the characters here for not giving up at times like this, they are going through mental hell and still keep going. I don't think Yumin can be called cheating, but that trait of hers is makes her unpleasant to deal with, not to mention that she can be wrong sometimes which may make her unintentional liar. They should videotape the field she's playing on *grumble grumble* |

HawthorneKitty said: Fuck I hate Yumin. I'm irked that Chihaya lost, but I just hate the way that Yumin plays and I'm not even the one playing karuta. I hope she gets beat down like a piece of shit by Shinobu again. Agreed, I was completely overthrown when I saw her losing to that person. |
     |
| Arg Chihaya should be more persistent and confident of her own playing style. She lost her cool, just because Yumin keep arguing with her. Chihaya should also learn to be more tactical to fight back these little dirty tricks. |
 |
| There are peoples who hate Yumin. This world is so wrog. |
 |
| damn Chihaya losing again and i doubt there gonna be a second season since the sales were so poor hopefully there will be one. |
| Okay, so this is episode 22, theres 3 episodes left, how the hell are they going to conclude this season, especially with no announcement for a 2nd season....??? They build up the "reunion" with arata, but that reunion match has yet to even happen... If there's no announcement for a second season then this anime is just another one of those shows that stop early, and make you read the manga.... -_- |

| That was frustrating.. poor dumb Chihaya. Hated this episode, and only 3 left oO |
| . |
| This is getting so frustrating. Not only the fact that Chihaya keeps losing every seemingly important match but also the fact that this show is getting REALLY slow. It started off so good and now I find myself slowly losing interest. It's a pity. :/ Also there should have been a penalty for the coach interrupting the match. That was just really unfair. I don't get why they wouldn't make a problem out of that and it's mostly because of that that Chihaya lost this one. |

| this episode just made me feel frustrated to do anything else.. Chihaya's depressed state in the last scene just channeled into me.. add the fact that this doesn't even have a preview and we have only 3 episodes left.. i need to watch a show that could make me a bit happier.. |
| Chihaya at the end. :/ |

With just 3 epsodes to go, this is not good. |
