| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- What's up with the mask: Loved watching Arata playing this episode. Basically, he's like the star of this episode. Now, I am very interested in a potential match: Arata vs. Shinobu. Hopefully at least. I just he won't get disqualified.. |

| no WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Q_____________Q I was looking forward to him playing in the individual tournament! Q__Q Im still unfamiliar with the rules though. The individual matches are a couple of days long if I remember, or just one day? Will he be able to play in any individual matches at all? if so, when/how? Q__Q I cant wait for the next episode T.T If I believe so myself, we haven't seen Arata play karuta AT ALL since he decided to play again, up until now. I was REALLY looking forward to see how amazing and badass his playing has got and he did not disappoint! *__* Overall, it was a very sweet thing Arata did and that team he played for are a bunch of sweet hearts! Props to them for making it so far with only 3 members! ;u; <3 I really hope Arata considers making his own Karuta club in his school! ^__^ |
| It took 34 episodes but we finally see Arata play as a high school student. Last season I didn't even see him as a character and more so a plot device for Chihaya and Taichi. This week was a refreshing change in the focus on Arata. We were able to get a peek on what he thinks karuta is and should be. I've always been intrigued by the character but the author chose to never focus on him for some reason. The confrontation between Shinobu and Arata was a lot more light hearted than I was expecting until the end when she basically dissed everyone who plays team karuta. She's still one of the core enigmas of the show and will be keeping my eye out. |
| Glad to see Shinobu again. I was kind of expecting Arata to take the guy on without his glasses, but oh well :D Really hope Arata will be able to play... |
| ARATA. AN EPISODE OF ARATA!! <3 Nooo! Team Karuta is full of people who love Karuta!! Please let Chihaya and Arata meet already!! (Arata was avoiding them, though??) I really hope Arata isn't disqualified. I want to see him play!! |
| Arata is busted. I wanted to see him destroy everyone in the individual tournament. |
 |
| DAMMIT ARATA. YOU HAD ONE JOB. :c all silliness aside, I really hope that he is able to play! |
| AAAARRRRAAAAAAATTTTAAAAAAAAA!!! I hope he plays in the individual match. |
| he puts his glasses on.dark aura.... holly molly someone please tell me where (what chapter) is this anime compared to manga? |
| Well that was pretty stupid of Arata to risk it it like that. He should of just said no. He has no obligation with those guys. like geez. And we didn't get to see any of Chihaya and the others. :/ Boo. And Shinobu didn't get to see the rally that she wanted haha. that was funny. meh ep. 3/5 since there was no chihaya. and the turn of events were unwanted. |
 |
| Arata finally plays !!!! But he gets caught because he wasn't part of that school TwT. Can't he just let it slide just this one Q_Q |
| lol, Shinobu's reaction to Arata seeing her was beautiful. As if we didn't know how keen Chihaya's hearing is we get a reminder all over again of how she thinks of Arata. Poor Taichi, as usual. A pity Chihaya can't read the depth of his feeling from his voice at times. Even though this issue with tomorrow has come up for Arata I'm glad he learned something about working as a team. |
 |
| Arata remains the man to beat OMG! He has perhaps leveled up several folds when we weren't watching him! I am glad he enjoyed being a team player! I would love to see him transfer schools and join Fujioka Nishi! They would make an awesome team! 5/5 |
| Stay Home and Wash Your Hands. Protect Yourself. Protect Your Loved Ones. Protect Your Community and Help Defeat Coronavirus. |
| Gahh so basically the episode starts out by foreshadowing a Shinobu v Arata matchup, and the end pretty much flushes those hopes down the pooper. Wonder if Shinobu will go the rally instead of the individuals, I mean why else would they show that and say 'the rally will be postponed to tomorrow' If that's the case, Chihaya could breeze through the individuals, though she won't be too happy about it.. |
 |
| lol @ Arata's comment on the Queen. So she doesn't like group section, and she never join one. That guy? Tomboyish girl? is voiced by Saiga-san! Taichi is shocked about the opponents being all A level. lol @ Arata being forced to become another person in the group. Lots of flashbacks (and repeated scenes) from Arata. Oh, no... Miyu-Miyu's character's face is scary when he wanted Chihaya to show how good their team is to Arata. |

Shimohi said: massive dialectoverkill this one :V I know what you mean - I don't remember Shinobu going so far into Kansai-ben last season, let alone Arata with his accent/dialect. chinvincible said: Can I ship Shinobu and Arata. They look good together. The queen made my day. Her strangeness is so cute - she reminds me of Frau Kojiro. You bet! Shinobu looked like she wanted to just throw Arata down and rape him right there on the steps!. LOL xSimplicity said: DAMMIT ARATA. YOU HAD ONE JOB. :c all silliness aside, I really hope that he is able to play! He has learned an important life lesson - "No good deed goes unpunished!" LOL Mod edit: Merged triple post |

When I realized we finally get to see Arata play!!! |
  |
| Arata might not be able to play AND they postponed the Birdman Rally. That's pretty much the worst case scenario. |
| Wow, I was really surprised at the amount of focus that was given to Arata this episode. For a main character (supposedly), he hasn't been showcased or explored very much, but this week's concept was a great way to bring us back to the Arata we got acquainted with at the beginning of the first season while also delving into the new, matured individual he's grown into. But nooo, I hope that ending is meant to be a red herring. I was so looking forward to watching him play in the individual matches, because watching him play Karuta is just amazingly enjoyable. |
| Man if their reunion gets another postponement I'm going to die, they've been separated long enough now. |
| Arata episode !!! Arrhggghh! Dont like, FUCK ARATA, BASTARD. |
| Just when I thought the cliffhangers were over with, they throw another in my face and make me not being able to focus on anything else other than "what's going to happen to Arata!? D:< " It's just full of bad news for everyone in this episode: Mizusawa is up against an all A class team, Taichi is worried Arata may be around and how it affects his relationship between Chihaya and Arata, and Arata faces a possibility of being barred from playing in the tournament, making his long awaited come back moot and reunion with his friends from Mizusawa more awkward. chinvincible said: Can I ship Shinobu and Arata. They look good together. The queen made my day. Her strangeness is so cute - she reminds me of Frau Kojiro. Shinobu reminds me a bit of Kona from Robitics;Notes too. |

| lol at Shinobu's disappointed reaction when Arata asked who she is xD |
 |
| damn you peer pressure! |
| My Guitar Covers: Playlist I CAN ALWAYS SHOW MY EVERYTHING TO YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUU |
| SIFUDEO! Bem jeito hahaha! |
 |
| God Arata, you're such a deadpan. I really like his seiyuu though, the cadence of his voice is very soothing. edit: Reading that he speaks with an accent, that really makes sense. He reminded me of the Korean actor Yong Joon Bae. |

| Arata, I missed you so much! :'( I spent all the first season wanting to watch him playing and now finally... hokaru said: lol at Shinobu's disappointed reaction when Arata asked who she is xD hahaha xD And, I love his accent. :D 5/5 |
    |
| I really want to see him play in the individuals, hope he doesn't get disqualified. He owned so bad the other dude when he put his glasses on. |
| An Arata episode! Finally! "Team tournament? That isn't for players who love Karuta?" Really? I wasn't sure after you repeated the phrase like 10 times in the 20 minute episode. Jeez. |
| 5/5 like usual Every episode of Chihayafuru: IT'S OVER ALREADY??!!?! ;_; Poor baby. Please let him be able to play in the individuals. :C PLEASEEE. JohnGalt89 said: Arata might not be able to play AND they postponed the Birdman Rally. That's pretty much the worst case scenario. IKR :X |
I lol'd. Anyway, pretty good ep. I think it's dumb he joined them, but I also think its dumb he could be disqualified from the individual tournament. They're separate tournaments right? Why does that affect the other? It's not like his team won either. |
| These episodes seem soooooo short! I love this anime. |
 |

| aw wouldve been funny if arata faced chihaya and her team in a team fight. stupid laws |
    |
| 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. |
Edefrem said: When I realized we finally get to see Arata play!!! LOL xD But yeah, finally, we had an Arata episode! Damn, he's really a main character? 5/5 |
 |
| I don't know how I still find this show extremely entertaining and amusing but I do XD |
Orevataf said: Man if their reunion gets another postponement I'm going to die, they've been separated long enough now. thisthisthisthisthis I want that inevitable ArataxChihaya glomp. WANTWANTWANT. |
| I hope Arata won't be disqualified :/ |
  |
| 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: |
