| Damn! Wanted Chihaya to win so bad. Previous Queen is a cheap player for sure. They said in a previous episode, "the good players always know who took the card." She is flat out taking advantage of Chihaya's kindness. Dirty and BS, imo. I hope she plays her again one day and beats her like a drum. Love this anime, btw!! |
 |
| I really can't believe Chihaya let herself lose to a person who needs to lie about hitting cards first. Least it felt like she was lying. I would have pointed it out too and made sure everyone heard that she needed to have cards given to her to stay competitive. Chihaya should have just destroyed her confidence. But then again I'm mean. Ugh the anime was really cool up until this point. I liked that everyone seemed to be playing fair and square then this cheesy bitch comes along. Kinda hopes her ugly ass gets hit by a bus. |
| yes im really shocked Chihaya lost!! i mean she was on a roll!!!! damn the previous queen taking advantage of Chihaya, but then again if your in a stack competition, you must use whatever it is necessary to win. not to mention Chihaya kinda underestimated her just because she wasn't trying hard. she's the previous Queen for a reason. then again Yumin laid back after winning the "Queen" title, then got beat badly by Wakayama Shinobu in just one year. Chihaya was all fired up :( i can't believe Yumin was able to come back after Chihaya being in the lead! lol his coach helped the whole room to ease up, then again it was stupid to close all the windows in the first place since it was boiling hot in there. then again every sound counts Chihaya!!!!!!!!!! T____T Chihaya needs to strengthen her mental awareness and guard. don't let people get into your head, your better than that Chihaya!!! hopefully Chihaya get's a rematch in season 2 or Wakayama Shinobu or Arata beat her badly!!!!! |
| Damn this episode is rated lowly. I wish this anime had more fluid and slow motion shots of when they take the cards. That's the most important part, but it's always split second and still framed. |

itsvero said: Ugh. Dammit, Chihaya, why did you have to lose to that picky bitch! FUCK EVERY PEOPLE HERE THAT SAY YUMIN IS A PICKY BITCH, you guys really have no respect, for every game even 0.01 second counts, if you think you're faster, then argue for it, it's this type of personality that attracts me, I guess that's not the case for you guys, because-you-guys-are-blind-POS-that-think-that-the-beautiful-young-fapmaterial-MC-that-should-win-the-fight! GO YUMIN! bakuramariks said: Aykino said: Seriously, that Yumin chick was so annoying and b*tchy. She does not deserve to win if she acts like that! D:< The ones who deserve to win are those who fight with whatever means necessary. I paused at one point where Chihaya picked the card, but it looked like Yumin really touched it first. I don't know about the rest. Maybe that's her playing style - touching them and then claiming them. I think you're forgetting that Yumin IS the PREVIOUS QUEEN, and she did train herself after her loss against Shinobu, Chihaya isn't even the strongest A class karuta player and you guys are treating her like a GODDESS already roflmao funny while Yumin was the strongest A class player, big difference, so stop yer bitching gamerguy50 said: I stand here in silence as I saw Chihaya lose this one, almost if I was right next to her watching (weird right?) Losing to Yumin makes sense, I don't know why people are mad at her, from the calls I saw, she they looked legitimate and if you don't believe that, argue against her. With only 3 episodes left, I have no idea how they can pull off an ending if Chihaya lost here. I hope another season comes though, this is one of the top animes I get to see each year. I know right! I don't know why people are mad at her.. Maybe because she ain't as pretty as Chihaya or Shinobu, pfft people want moe/pretty nowadays, how low people have fallen. A strong heart is what we need, not a beautiful face. pfft |

| Slow start at this episode.. I feel like Chihaya sometimes looks down on her opponents, like they don't stand a chance. She was playing against the previous Queen, should have known she wouldn't go down without a fight.. |
| Quite action filled episode, it's sad she lost but well it was against the previous queen, but I do think she had a fair chance! Either way great episode actually! |
 |
| tsk. another episode that pissed me off >< why does this always happen? chihaya lost all her confidence again!!! |
| I really thought this episode was really weak, I mean...the previous Queen got her Queen title because she can sweet talk her way through any close encounters? That's her strong suit? being able to talk her way through anything? Give me a brake, that's really lame. ....1/5 for this episode surely the writers could have done better with the previous Queen, not something so stupid and childish. The simple fact that when she stopped doing it when she got the title of Queen and then lost, only proves she had no skill to begin with...just seems so unlikely that a player like her in real life would be able to make it past Class B.....eventually you'll run into someone with backbone and will call you on your BS |
 "To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment" |
| Wow Yumin is the Luis Suárez of karuta. Horrible cheating scumbag. |
| 5/5 How are pissed off, Chihaya loses again because he can not be strong mentally. Plot beating again on this point and the narrative without error exposes it in a manner consistent, excellent! I understand, but not now that Chihaya has to fight with her nails without being intimidated, when opponents take up courage! ^ _ ^ Plot that has not only focused on that one point but has opened glimpses of other possibilities as a possible future adventure Kana as a reader. WOW Narration amusing and pleasant, always takes me so much! It is a magnet for me! * _ * Drawings and animations cute. Yumin seemed docile and harmless, but she has been able to tell out the nails! Interesting character. |
 |
| WTH, Chihaya started strong and she loses at the end because Yumin was contesting every card. Yumin has a dirty playing style, but in the end she did what she had to do to win. I'm seriously getting ticked off at Taichi and Chihaya losing. I think it would be important for the group to do some mental practice because they obviously need it. |
 |
| lol what an asshole ex-queen |
| Such a plain queen and if she doesnt have a camera to prove she was the first one to touch it then chihaya could have argue she touched it first. |
| "If I cant win, I'll bitch about every card untill everyone is so pissed with my bitching that they'll let me win only so they can hear me shut up" - Yumin. |
| Gib [img] plz |
| Wtf Chihaya.. she should fight her corner too.. |
| This loss was so stupid... Why didn't Chihaya contest any of the cards? Seriously, if I was Chihaya I would say something like: "No wonder you lost to Shinobu. You have pathetic skills and need to lie to win against average opponents. There is an abyss between you and the Queen." Also, Yumin wasn't even seriously practicing for months. Chihaya losing this is so stupid it makes me want to facedesk. |

Chihaya losing this is so stupid it makes me want to facedesk. exactly ! That's more then embarrassing to loose a game, which is so much under your control... If you loose your concentration just because your enemy win one fucking card, you should quit competitive sport ! |
| Damn it, she lost so stupid! And I didn't like the way that girl complained...Also, Porky was cheering for her? Pffff.... |

bci110 said: 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. How do you know she was playing dirty though if Chihaya wasn't even sure if she actually got the card first? I did find Yumin calling every close play a pain in the ass but that's what you're supposed to do in the first place. Just shows who had more confidence that they got it first. Chihaya needs to get her shit together and be confident enough to argue the call if it's challenged rather then giving it to her opponent. Also, Yumin is the previous Queen. It makes perfect sense that she beat Chihaya once she got back to her old self. I mean come on, Chihaya lost to some random old lady and had trouble beating a kid at the start. Had she beaten Yumin it would've meant that the old lady was good enough to be Queen lol. |

| What a shit karuta, feels more like she's cheating. PS: why does our protagonist has down syndrome? Always choking. This is annoying. |
 |
| NOOOO CHIHAYA BABE WHY IS THIS HAPPENING SLAY THAT YUMIN BITCH SHINOBU |

| Hahaha never expected that other people hated this episode as i did. Was going to rant harsh if it was well received, so now im more calm. Okay, this episode had a new character, totally fine by me. But they handled her in a retarded way, the previous queen is a pile of shit and i want to fucking smash her head with a warhammer. Plus how someone with a passion such as Ayase give away cards so easily? Plain fucking stupid. Plus 2: Why repeat the same trick? cheering the player and suddenly he is good? Can't you guys move you brainass with a new trick? Fuck you coach I was mad, and this episode is unfortunately the first bad episode of Chihayafuru, and i was going to rate this show a 9 or maybe even a 10. But since the queen came, the bar has been risen and what do I get instead of the queen? Some drama and regular matches? okay not so good but i can still enjoy. But now what? A new previous queen with a dickhead face and does scamming more than she breath? Shit! I dont know if i will rate it 9 anymore! Hoping for a good last three episodes to keep the show with a chance to go into my favorites.  |
| well previous queen much....... I just realised chihaya lost does that mean she have to shave her head |
 |
| Seems like her journey is still very long, very very long before she reach Queen Probably like 100 episodes xD |

| So, Yamamoto can't gain an edge over her opponent without dragging the tempo of the match (as well as all the surrounding matches) to dirt. Charming. Not fun at all, definitely not for her opponents, not to mention the spectators. |
| Yumin is really annoying, I can't stand her at all, I want to see Shinobu destroy her. |
 |
| The previous Queen showed some real determination, respect for that. And I have to say that I'm a big fan of the backround portrayals of Chihayas opponents during the last episodes. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| The ending was very sad . After Chihaya loose she seemed to be very disappointed. Chihaya loosed to that annoying woman . That was very sad . |
| Poor Chihaya lost... I can already imagine how annoying playing Yumin would be. |
 |
| honestly i understand and can find a like to yumin's character, but i really dont like how she calls out for every card like that. it's disruptive and just rude overall, considering that she might've not even made it, and still calls to say that she did. |
| I felt bad for the girl but not anymore. |
| What can I say... I dislike Yumi, she seems to be rather an annoying and cheeky person. I don't like types of people like her. To think I felt bad for her at first. RIP Chihaya's hair... ;-(( |
| Doesn't look like Chihaya's up for the top, just yet! |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| I did not like this episode. UGH that Yumi bitch really pissed me the fuck off. It was her smug attitude when she called things out and told her to move her hand. It was so grating. This show has a habit of making the opponents PAINFULLY unlikeable. I get that they are meant to be unlikeable but it goes a bit far when it makes me want to turn the show off. Also, Porky is such a damn traitor for supporting Yumi. Otherwise, I'm loving the series. I'm just hoping for a couple of more relaxing episodes at the end of the series. It's surprising how tense a show about a poetry card game gets. |

| Chihaya's up against the previous queen. Man I really can't stand that Suihoku coach, feeding Yumi false words of encouragement and lying directly to her face for all that time. He should've been a little more honest with her. Chihaya lost. Why did I even get my hopes up? |
BDecker 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. I'm also a bit pissed at pork-kun (whatever his real name is) for rooting for Yumin. He should be rooting for his freind and teammate, not her opponent. This tbh. It's like what if they're both stubborn-heads and then what? I forgot if they ever mentioned what happens if they can't conclude, what happens then? Every time when Chihaya loses, she learns something new. So I feel that this will be a lesson for her to be more aggressive in the future. She's still learning. She is facing the previous Queen after all. |
| I really wanted Chihaya to win, but Yumin won it fair and square. Everyone here saying she was lying is full of it. If it’s extremely close and you think you touched it first, you absolutely should contest it. Good episode. |
