Digglett said: HawthorneKitty said: YEAH, FUCK YOU YAMAMOTO YUMI! You can't contest for shit if the cameras are rolling. My exact reaction. Was cheering for Shinobu the whole time. Of course Shinobu is going to win, that's obvious, but heck HawthorneKitty, you're such a hater, even without the cameras, Shinobu will know who exactly got the cards first, and Yumin too, because they are top class players unlike Chihaya, don't be such a baseless hater just because she defeated your beloved Chihaya by any means but not dirty. seishi-sama said: So, how many people removed Shinobu from their favorites after watching this episode? Still loving her haha what I love about her isn't only her appearance but her attitude and personality as well, unlike people who care only about appearance *booo* Confucius said: SCREW EVERY CHARACTER (except Taichi) IN THIS SHOW, ESPECIALLY CHIHAYA, GOOOO SHINOBU!!!! SHINOBU >>>>>>>> CHIHAYA! I don't think what they think of you Shinobu, you are my favorite over all the other players EDIT: Chihaya you idiot, SHINOBU IS WAYYY FASTER THAN SUO! SHE JUST PUT ON A FEW POUNDS! SHINOBU IS NOT SCARED OF SUO!!! Biased. Shinobu said that she felt his aura and all.. Even though Shinobu puts on a few pounds, the game wasn't all about speed, so fat Shinobu = slim Shinobu rather than fat Shinobu < slim Shinobu. If Karuta is all about speed, one just have to train with weighted wristband, but it's not all that simple.. At the very end, it was known that to the Meijin, there are 28 one syllable for him, rather than just 7 for most of the people including Shinobu, so the meijin can act earlier and faster than Shinobu, he doesn't have to wait like Shinobu.. Sigh these blind fans.. saltncheese said: I don't understand why Yumi gets much hate. She worked hard and she knows how to play competitively. She's a hard worker who became queen and is at least a match against the current one who wins chiefly by god-given talent. I praise Yumi for being able to carry on after being crushed by destiny like that. Yes, I don't get the hate either, man people worked hard without cheating and even Chihaya said that she lost because it's her own fault, you guys seriously need to stop the baseless hate, or are you too prideful to admit that you're wrong and just blindly hating? Poor Yumin gets no love, these humans here are just so.. wrong, they're hating on her for the wrong reason |

| Ship TaichixChihaya. Nothing else. |
| Woh the queen got fat just because she wanted that rare item... lol quite funny, but I do have to say quite a lovely episode especially that ending was a WOW effect! To beat him that really will require a lot of skills! The beginning of this episode with the mom of Taichi was pretty funny, and the queens back story was also quite interesting, well I really wonder what they'll put in the last episode of this first season! |
 |
| Man, why did you have to make the cute Shinobu into...that? I love how all of a sudden over the course of I'm going to assume atleast 6 months, Shibobu goes from what looks like 130-140lbs to atleast 200 lbs while that is realistic I feel like it was just an added factor just to come up with some sort of suspense and drama for the match...you couldn't come up with anything better?..... saltncheese said: I don't understand why Yumi gets much hate.

I praise Yumi for being able to carry on after being crushed by destiny like that. I thought it was obvious the last few episodes that she can't win without being able to contest cards....it was practically said that's why she lost her Queen title in the first place.... in other words, she was never really fit to be Queen, being cheap is no strong suit. |

| Yes! Yumi got crushed! Well done Shinobu. I see Yumi tried cheating again by trying to drag out the match. Poor sportsmanship at its best from that horrible cow... Can you tell I hate her? ^_^ |
| 5/5 You can not hate nobody in this anime series, are all a force. Shinobu and Yumin in their own way, are charismatic as their male counterparts. Plot and narrative, are superb, maybe they were also at the technical part of the beauty and wonder that every time they can send me those two components! It would be an anime masterpiece! * _ * This time the story has me puzzled with comedy and plot twists worthy of the best Hollywood movies! : D Shinobu was pleasant even in that state! ;) This time the character Chihaya was put in the shade by a little Snowmaru-girl, Yumin and the male counterpart who challenged. Even Taichi stole a little scene! ^ _ ^ Beautiful episode, really pleased for the plot! Go with the ending! Yay! |
 |
| Nope, Yumin, you can't contest cards against Shinobu. You either beat her fair and square or lose to her fair and aquare. I was shocked to see Shinobu put on that much weight and yet she still won. |
 |
| Holy shit. She seriously get fat. |
 |
| Shonobu... got fat huh? Nice game though. That Suo's moves are sleek, wow. |

| All the people who wanted to see Shinobu so badly, here she is lol. HawthorneKitty said: YEAH, FUCK YOU YAMAMOTO YUMI! You can't contest for shit if the cameras are rolling. SweetGelato said: Nope, Yumin, you can't contest cards against Shinobu. You either beat her fair and square or lose to her fair and aquare. So I'm guessing there weren't any cameras when Yumi beat the Queen before her. Oh but wait, wouldn't that mean she won without contesting then? I'm assuming the reason there weren't any contested cards was because of how fast and accurate Shinobu is. Unlike Chihaya who makes a ton of faults and hits multiple cards to get the one she's going for. That or bad writing in which for some reason they didn't have Yumi do what she's known for due to being too busy showing how OP Shinobu is even when her weight suddenly increases in a short period of time. |

| Shinobu!!! I really felt for her past, I like her even more now. I don't give a damn if she gained weigth, Ice Cream is awesome!! A life of playing Karuta and eating Ice Cream doesn't sound too bad if you ask me. :P I don't mind Yumin, but I still clearly favored Shinobu. And tbh, I was somewhat annoyed by Nikumakun's cheers. (In the episode against Chihaya as well). As said it's not because of Yumin herself; I just really dislike her trainer. He is pushing her way too much and at least partly reason for her depressive tendencies. Which makes me wonder why Kana and Desk choose to join that society.. Chihaya's trainer is 1 million times more likeable and apparently a better skilled player as well. |
| A chubby Shinobu is still a cute Shinobu. |

Yumi wasn't contesting cards because shinobu was taking them by a long shot, not because of cameras. Yumi was even contesting cards in challenger match that happened last episode and I'm pretty sure there were cameras. I think yumi has the skill to be queen, it's just that shinobu is too OP for her. |
| I've been torn between shipping Chihaya with Shinobu or Kana-chan. ;A; Maybe both in different universes. Idk. OTL Shinobu's so cute. Ahh. Kana-chan's cute too though, but ahhh I just really want to see more of Chihaya and Shinobu. ;__; It's been a great ride though. Wow. I kinda expected to watch season one then never watch season two, but now I'm actually like, "I kinda don't want it to end-- wait there's a season two! Yes!" BUT at the same time, it's going so well that I'm scared the second season will only serve as a detriment to this show's charm for me personally. I kinda trust that it won't fail but at the same time, I'm still scared. |
| Hated it, fuck you Chihayafuru !! What have you done to my queen?  |
| the master is so badass i want to see him vs Arata |
 |
| taichi's mom is a scary women.... The queen became fat now that was a shocker |
 |
| Just when I thought I'll be able to see Shinobu's mystique appearance again... I was not prepared for that twist! LOL! that was unexpected! she has changed so much!!! WTH happened??? but her not giving any shit about her weight just for the snowmaru merch (LOL! I don't know what the item is) is the same reason why I adored her quirky personality. anyway she looks cute with her chubby face and she's still the reigning Queen of Karuta despite her gaining those pounds. |
| Chubby Shinobu dominated and won! Yes! I loved seeing Yumin cry! |
 |
| Fat Shinobu ? Wtf ? xD Anyway, it was a nice match between her and Yumi, loved the flashback again. And Hisashi seems pretty much like a monster, can't wait to see more of him. |

| Shinobu has grown too fate haha that’s funny. I like her past story . She is a good character. |
| Shinobu suddenly becoming fat was random af! I’m not a big fan of Yumin but her crying was sad. |
 |
| Loli Shinobu so adorable |
 |
| Was rooting hard for Yumi, but I guess that Shinobu is way too crazy to lose. Unfortunately, you don't get to be on that level at any kind of sport if the sport isn't your entire life. I'm willing to bet the master is insane as well. Chihaya is definitely crazy enough to get to that level, I just don't know if she's smart enough to make split-second decisions involving so many variables. There is a reason offensive linemen are the smartest guys on the field. |

| we've heard so much of the queen that we haven't heard much of the master. definitely wanna see how much better he is (if he is better) and how he plays similarly to chihaya, according to nishida |
| Suo Hisashi is really OP, can't wait to see Arata or Mashima challenging him. |
| NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! WHAT HAPPEN TO SEXY AND BADASS QUEEN SHINOBU?!!! WHY?!! She gained a lot of weight this queen finals xD but she's still cute with that chubby face. I hope she will back on her old figure next season... pls I feel sorry for Yumin, Shinobu is really OP in Karuta couz she put her heart in the cards since she was a little more than in any opponent she faced.I dont know how Chihaya gonna beat her if they manage to meet again. Man its starting to get more interesting |
| B O C C H I S W E E P |
| Shinobu-chan loves Snowmaru-kun so much she wants to look like him. ;D But damn, I can't imagine how many ice creams she ate to gain so much weight. Anyway, she defended her title. I'm curious how men's master duel will look like. For now on its pretty certain that it will be intensive as hell. I loved the scene in which Nishida reminded Chihaya that she is not the most important person in the world. xD |
| Lmao all that fat shaming, but hopefully she's back to normal in her next appearance! That master looks formidable af |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| Lmao Taichi's mom was home. Omg Chihaya's face when she thought about going up to Taichi's room was too damn cute. I'm a little disappointed that the other club members showed up though. Lol too much ice cream. Wakamiya wiped the floor with Yumi despite being out of shape - too OP. We got a glance of Suo Hisashi as well. Looking forward to seeing more of his mad karuta skills. |
| NOOO MY QUEEEENNN the master is indeed a force to be reckoned with; I love how he just calmly went for that first card like the psychic that he probably is |
  NYANPASU  whiskey tango foxtrot |
| Hmm, let's see how the master plays |
| Lmao, Shinobu putting on weight was such a strange move that I thought it was deliberate to make her lose the match. Glad she won, yay! |
 |
| I like Shinobu's character. She's somewhat socially dysfunctional though, but that might be a strength for her karuta. Glad she defeated Yumi. Still can't get behind her. |
 |
| Shinobu took befriending the Karuta cards to the next level. While not a total obliteration at least it was satisfying to see Yumin lose with her shitty 'my pinky reached first' attitude especially with Shinobu not being in the optimal shape. |
