WHAAAAAT!!!? AN ARATA EPISODE OUT OF NOWHERE?!!! BEST WEEK EVER!! <3 <3
Seriously.. Seeing him play again was just fantastic. Though if he doesn't play in the individual tournament, I'm gonna be f****** pissed off. I wanted him and Chihaya to meet again. D: Their moments are so touching.

I love Arata and he did develop a lot as a character by playing in the team tournament, but he had to have understood the consequences! Obviously they'd expel him from the individual tournament! (though they probably won't in this case)

WHY IS THIS SHOW SO GREAT T_T
LOVED the Arata and Shinobu interaction ... poor Shinobu, her rally was cancelled! :( So they always used to play each other in school huh ... ah, I want to know more about that! :O
Our lovely team has troubles ahead ... 5 class A players?! Holy crap lol O_O That'll be tough ... sorry guys, Arata won't be watching you! D:
Seriously nice to see Arata thinking about the team vs. individual tournaments ... love how he got caught up in another school's run, but WOW DANG. He's good ... yeah, playing without glasses ... I'd totally forgotten about that happening in the past! O_O Coming back from 15 down ... so inspiring and how his "teammates" reacted :')
Although of course that's not allowed ... and he got caught! Urgh D: I highly doubt they'd make him forfeit, but you never know ... I mean that's the whole point of him coming here right?! D:

Liked that it was an episode of Arata. Maybe he will make a karuta club now that he remembers how it feels to be part of a team. Though I guess it's bad that he's not going to participate in the individual matches. and neither is Shinobu right?

I wonder how Taichi and Chihaya will take it...

Two possibilities, and reason for this. Even if Arata gets DQ'd, I think this episode was intended to show Arata'as character growth, remembering how much fun it was to play as a team, so that at some point, perhaps S3 even if Arata gets DQ'd, he can form a team to play Chihiya, or perhaps transfer to a school that has a team. (Either the one he helped out, or perhaps another one).

I think perhaps this is the classic, 'love of the game' kind of thing, that Arata just saw for the first time since he was playing with Taichi and Chihiya.

I liked how this episode showed how Arata grew out of his "I don't like team matches" phase. He remembered the fun he had playing with Chihaya and Taichi as a team.

amazing stuff!!!

glad we get to see some history between Arata and Shinobu and his love for team play!!!!

lol Arata at first was harsh with Shinobu XD



poor Shinobu XD



i knew it Arata used to beat Shinobu back then!!

guess that's how she became strong to become a queen.

also she always say there's always room for improvement, definitely referencing arata with her defeat with him!!



yeah Kyoto women can be scary .____.



Karuta players really have some weird hobbies XD



really love Wakayama's face and hair!!

soo gorgeous!!!!



lol such a tease XD



very weird seeing coming from Chihaya telling Taichi to concentrate more XD

then again she is serious on becoming japan's no.1 team!



Masked Arata!!!



Arata in beast mode!!!!!!



Arata will be disqualified?!?!?! O___O

no way!!!!!



i think what's gonna happen is that since Za Queen's event got cancelled, she'll join the team tournament with Arata or she will revoke Arata's punishment since she has high power as Za Queen!!!

next week more Arata gameplay please!!!!!!

Baldy tells Arata he may be barred from the individual tournament, -_-
Don't be a lemon, be a rose bud baldy.

I can understand that Arata was an illegal sub but he was doing those two a favor. They didn't want to forfeit the match since 2 vs 5 is an automatic win for the other team since 3 wins by default passed the other team. Besides they lost so there's no need to worry about Arata doing it again.


Poor Shinobu-chan she was looking forward to that air show.

5/5

I promote the episode for the plot that leads us to reflect in the viewer, even if the narrative is perhaps the least meaningful on emotional.
The designs of the anime are the best of the manga today, and were it not that I see them through a streaming service stakes, colors and reflections in my opinion would be even more beautiful.
Arata and Shinobu for me, they are wonderful characters. I wonder if Arata will be excluded from the championship! WOW! It would be a good starting point, which then have to write a beautiful plot articulated to justify many things.

The first 3 minutes are probably the best moment in 2 seasons. This is the 1st Arata episode of 2nd season and 2nd Arata episode including 1st season. But, please don't say that he will be banned! I know if this is the case you are going to be ban but please don't ban him.

Goddamnit this anime makes me jump around my living room.
I'm fond of Taichi x Chihara, but they should at least meet Arata because this is getting annoying sjiohaeruhawljkwajdkajkf.
I'm seriously going to scream if they don't let Chihara play with Arata this season. I want them to play karata with each other. Maybe even better: Taichi vs. Arata goddamnit.
