Chihiya sees the queens name


The bandages come off.


Sounds like she would play like ronnie lot... just cut off that finger I'll keep playing.


Man. So much passion in this anime.

Arata winning by 27 cards...

Chihaya winning twice with her left hand to reach the final 8, but instead of facing Arata, she faces Shinobu. Off with the bandages it is.

That was one episode? Usually this series would take about 10 to show the amount they packed into this one.
There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do.

Oh boy now things just got serious! Chihaya against the Queen again! Arata's parents were pretty funny, but damn Arata is as strong as ever! Lets see what's next!

I hoped we would see Chihaya winning and getting the role as queen but I don't think we'll see that in the couple episodes left, sadly enough.

Really excited for Chihaya vs Shinobu.
I like them both but throughout the course of this season Shinobu climbed up my favorites list really fast.
It Hadn't really sunk into my head before that she was so fabulous.

Not right now. I wanted Chihaya vs Shinobu in the semifinal and Arata vs Sudo as the other semifinal. Then we can get Chihaya vs Arata in the final.

Oh well Chihaya vs Shinobu in the quater-finals will do. Chihaya, show Shinobu what you improved on.

5/5

A little makes me turn up your nose Chihaya has mastered the skill with which the movement reversed, it may also be there, but the probability of winning of first blow, it is almost impossible.
Episode intriguing, fast and deep. This is the narrative that was expecting to see in Chihayafuru, the interpersonal remains almost unchanged, but do not linger very events, remaining always intriguing that shows what the plot.
Chiahaya also seems to have regained the charisma and sympathy that he had in the first season.
Drawings and discrete animations. I'm looking forward to the match between Shinobu and Chihaya.
I'm rooting for Shinobu, anyway!

I have to admit that they far fetched Chihaya's abilities to play with left arm. Like yes I can buy her breaking blocks since it is different perspective and fighting against left hand people is hard, especially if you never did it before.

But same accuracy and speed is impossible if you never trained the arm before. And it's not like she defeated a beginner A class player who was nervous.

Oh well, at least unrealism will end with next match.

I totally loved this episode. The one to one matches are great!
I knew Arata would win but I wouldn't mind if Porky won, he really works hard and deserves all good.

And Chihaya saving her right for Arata plan is cancelled. Next match would be super tense!
I am trying to guess if she would win or loose? I want to say you can't win everything.
She won the teams tournament so it would be too optimistic to win against the queen in this one as well.
But then what will happen to her dream of matching Arata?

WTF So now Chihaya is accurate and fast too even not with his dominant hand? That's very bullshit imho. I don't know if she has ever use her left hand, has any experience or feelings of using her left hand, but it's BS to believe that she could be fast and accurate with her left hand, I get it that Chihaya with her right hand is very strong, but with her left hand..? This show is trying to hard to make Chihaya wins, not only she got the talent of Suo, she can also swing using her right hand almost as fast and accurate as Shinobu, the current most talented youngest Queen, you're tell me that she can now beat any other A class players with her left hand?? Come on don't make Chihaya so unrealistically overpowered please!

As for Arata, lol at his parents. I initially thought that they're in fear of Arata losing, but they're actually hoping that he lose!! LOL! Poor Nikuman though, but if Arata is just at this level, he will not be a match of Suo, the current Master. Arata wins against Nikuman, who was a B class player last year, by about only 8 cards, not to mention Nikuman is probably one of the mid tier A class players, not even a high tier.. Arata will lose to Chihaya at this rate -.-!

I had so much problem with the author making Mizusawa so unbelievably strong. The girl who just started karuta months ago are now winning her first match (and she isn't very enthusiastic about karuta yet), creepy eyes-kun winning by default, and Taichi won, well that's normal because Taichi is strong! The author has made Desk-kun and Kana-chan so strong that there is no return now, so Desk-kun and Kana-chan should be able to win their matches easily.

I think they're trying really hard to make Chihaya looks cool at the end there, because a normal people wouldn't drop their aid band on the floor, it looked cooler, but tried too hard, seriously.. Now I can't take this anime seriously anymore, it's falling down further on my list, cya Chihayafuru

SO UNREALISTICALLY STRONG, MIZUSAWA! -.-

Totally agree. And even the match between Arata vs porky was shown from porky's view. Dude, give Arata a little space. This is so biased. And finally an episode without Taichi. :D

The matches are so hype.

Despite her handicap Chihaya pulled of a rather easy victory.

And porky showed some strong determination, too bad he had to lose.

Chihaya managed really well with her handicap. One thing I like about Arata is that even with how talented he is and with all of the recognition he receives for it he never allows his ego to get the better of him - he still remains a genuinely nice person who can recognize the talent in others. It contrasts with Shinobu who sets herself apart because she is always conscious of being the best and above everyone else.

Loved the T-shirt part haha. It would have been nice to see how Chihaya would have done against Shinobu uninjured - with her injury she had no chance. I hope that Chihaya can break through Shinobu's shell a tiny bit someday - it wasn't fair to isolate her so much for being a prodigy when she was a child. How cute were Tsukuba and Sumire. It looks like Sumire is starting to enjoy karuta for its own merits even tho she thinks it is still to gain Taichi's attention.

Chihaya actually won two in a row using her left hand.Next ep she will likely use her right, she gonna makes it worst by still playin.

Cmon bruh this show forcing too much on chihaya to win in this ep even if its so unfavorable against her like she didnt even practice using left hand i understand if she practice it but she didnt. Also shes down 10 cards and still won likes its nothing.They keep using the miracle comeback wins in this season.

This things boggle my mind but i still enjoy the show i hope for unpredictable matches in upcoming eps and in next season.

Strange that we see almost everybody's reaction (even Reader's) to Arata's 27 cards win against poor Shoji, but not Chihaya's.

Chihaya winning with the left hand against class A player is a bit unbelievable. But like Arata remembered she did take her first card against him with her left hand, so who knows, maybe she's a mad genius.

Amazing to see Arata playing, finally. Those crosses of his are something to behold. His parents are terrible yet funny. But Nikuman's recap of everybody's effort went on a bit too long. Far too many unnecessary recaps in recent episodes. It's a bit frustrating that even a quality anime like this excludes interesting material from Manga but keeps inserting unnecessary recaps.

Chihaya wanting to play with an injured finger seems far too risky. But I know nothing about such injuries, so on to the next episode to see what happens.

Arata is unstoppable!

Now that's really brave and unwise for Chihaya to risk everything on one duel with Shinobu. Her wound might become more serious, but I guess she is not aware of it.

Btw. just his many times there will be a scene in which "Pizusawa" slipped of Oe's tongue? ;pp

I think I fangirled right along with Chihaya when Arata complimented her! <3
I do still struggle with this ship, because I like Taichi too, and he’s definitely been there for Chihaya over the years, but his comment a few episodes back, calling Arata his enemy, has made me lean more towards Arata. I get it - Taichi feels threatened by Arata in more ways than one, but still - I am drawn towards Arata’s humility and kindness and maturity.

I like how they make out some no-name character to be an even match with Chihaya. It's ridiculous how far they'd go to shit on her actual playing ability. What's up with attempting to play left-handed anyway? Even if she does get the chance to play Arata, he'd just wipe the floor with her because of her injury. Flawed logic everywhere...

Looks like she's going up against Shinobu, not that I'm expecting anything from an injured player.
