The BEST episode in the series. Everything is here, funny moment, triumph, and finally, a romantic KO blow at the end... (speechless) I'm sorry, people are just missing this gem. They will never know something this good.

I actually ended up rooting for Harada, nice.
Arata confessed smoothly.The animation felt different in that scene, but really good.
Lmao meanwhile Taichi straight up said he's Chihaya's boyfriend to Suo.
I think I am starting to prefer the former pairing after all.

Came here after catching up the actual run of the series (ep. 22), but I had to say something about this one.

Well, this episode definitely deserves its legendary reputation, so many things happening in less than 23 minutes, feels like a great payoff, but when you see it closely, it's a buildup, the Meijin matches, the next tournaments, and obviously the love (square Chihaya being Suo's waifu, lol) traingle, what a great way of creating excitement.
The best Chihayafuru episode yet.

Harada won by a very small margin. Can't say I expected that.

Holy shit Arata's confession.

My boy Taichi is calling himself Chihaya's boyfriend in front of other people too. I love him. So much shit happened this episode. I like how both the master Suo and the queen Shinobu have each others' backs before the big event. The sense of unity between the two is an interesting spectacle.

man i thought the inevitable love confession was gonna be super cringe and lame, but nope. i squealed like a school girl when arata confessed to her! taichi announcing that when chihaya is not around...i always go back to when arata says "you're a coward."

anyways the arata-harada match might be my favorite match so far.

I'm so glad Harada-sensei won, he truly deserves it. Sadly, I don't really think he will win the Meijin title, this match already felt too hard for him.

Also, although it came out of nowhere, I'm grateful to Taichi for lying to Suon. Anything is fine if it keeps that weirdo far from Chihaya lol.

Harada winning 2 in a row is so unrealistic, Arata got nerfed hard this season

I really wanted Arata to win, but I guess he is still young and has plenty of chances. I hope Harada wins and then Arata beats him next year!

Dafuq is that, now I really hate Taichi for saying such words. Chihaya is not a thing that you can claim it by yourself!

Good thing there is a scene of Arata x Chihaya! my best ship!
Can't wait to see more of Arata x Chihaya.

I love this show so much omfg. Dr. Harada is such an amazing person how can you hate him? Would’ve been funny if the love square continued but triangles are cool too :)

really glad Harada won. it also just makes sense that Arata didn't win this time since Chihaya and Taichi aren't participating

there's nothing wrong with Arata but i really don't want him to end up with Chihaya

Incredible chapter, what a great match Harada-Sensei Vs Arata was. And speaking of which, Arata just..., this is going to get messy.

Harada-sensei won! Knowing he couldn't compete for a good portion of his life because of his job makes it even more worth seeing him getting another chance at becoming a Master. I don't know what even more shocking: Arata sudden confession or Suo's tragic divorce

HARADA-SENSEI WON WOO!

That was a great victory. Harada-sensei is so inspiring. And his background story too. A medical student and eventually doctor? That's what Taichi is hoping to take too. I guess Taichi can see what his path could bear by seeing Harada-sensei.

What a BOMB Arata dropped! Even Kana-chan and Hanano were shocked. Chihaya's reactions is as always cute and priceless lol but I wonder how she's gonna greply... My boy Taichi ;-;

But Taichi returning that scarf to Suo and protecting Chihaya was so awesome. My boy Taichi ;-;

Best of luck to the challengers, Harada-sensei and Inokuma-san! I'm rooting for both!

Happy Harada won.

And as a character, Arata is fine and there nothing wrong with him. I just don't like him and hope he doesn't end up with chihaya though lol

What an episode that was, best of the season so far, Harada-sensei is brilliant. This series reminds me so much of 3 gatsu no lion, where that series is a 10/10, this series is a 9/10. This little inspiring arc reminds me of Shimada from that series.

I'm not a huge fan of Arata as well, especially his dragging voice. Wasn't expecting that "I love you".

Why is everyone hating on Taichi? Yes, I do like Arata but not more than Taichi... Taichi's growth and development as a character has been astounding. While I wouldn't mind if Chihaya ended up single or with Arata—I honestly prefer Chihaya x Taichi at this point in time...

There's something so genuine about Dr. Harada's students being so happy about their "Master Roshi" winning. The old dude's coming for the throne.

Arata definitely won in other departments today. Don't know which I want to see more - Taichi's reaction if he were in the room or Arata's reaction if he were in the street.
