Taichi, stop being a crybaby, lol. Nishida won because he was better, period.

It was such a great and intense tournament. :D

Man, if I had known Japanese more, like alphabet etc., not only single words or phrases, this anime could've been a lot more entertaining than it is now (and it is already entertaining me a lot).

@G_Spark233 , same did I. It was so hard to decide who is the one I should cheer for, so I just told myself "let the strongest win". ;p

Was rooting for Taichi, wasn't to be!
I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats.

Whoa brilliant strategy of Desktomu's! Putting his surplus of cards all on one side and smacking all of them at once. Good thinking. Lol the side characters' matches are more interesting than Chihaya's.

Oe still won, but that was a good match. Very cute episode toward the end. I can tell they're growing as a team.

The whole tournament ending was sooo well done imo, i wasn't on anyone's side tbh cause i like them a lot for me to wish someone will loose, anw that last match with Porki and Taichi was soo intense man ooofff.

Some well-deserved wins, and the losers taking it like champs. They have all improved greatly, and should be even stronger now as a team. I’m glad Taichi is still hanging in there. He’s good at so much stuff but it seems like this is his true passion. Or maybe it’s just because it’s HER passion? Who knows.

Feels weird to make older style anime discussion posts like this, but feels good too!

As for arata being discussed in the first posts back in 2012, I sort of agree on that he kind of doesn’t really contribute anything to the show, with him just being absent so long. I’ve come to love THESE characters even more. I wanted to see more of arata in the beginning, but they’re keeping him on the back burner for so freaking long he’s basically just a background npc at this point. I do hope he makes some major appearances before this season ends though, and if not, at LEAST be a presence in season 2 and 3.

Ah... it really hurt to see Taichi lose... No disrespect to Nishida, he had the will and skill too, but Taichi was really putting it all in so he could hopefully face Arata... to have it be decided at least in a significant part by luck was sad.

Loved the moment when Chihaya put the sleeping Taichi on her shoulder though!

These matches make me so tense, tenser than any other sports-ish anime ever!

Poor taichi for losing the match with the draw of luck against Porky. Too adorable to see Chihaya letting Taichi sleep on her shoulder, if only he would knew about that he would definitely keep that as a precious memory.

Oh yeah. The matches are getting more analytical instead of being mere card violation

At this point karuta itself I'm finding pretty boring, but the characters themselves and their interactions and relationships with each other are very genuine and heartwarming

Poor Taichi. Dude's eyes were screaming for a win and Chihaya wasn't even watching for like 90% of the match, and worse yet he got to lie on her shoulder and wasn't conscious for it lmao

A really good episode and a lot of the team members progress their ranks. I hope they all reach Class A eventually.

Arata seems shocked to see Mashima and Nishida up there in Class B and Class A. Maybe it's the realisation that his old friends and rivals have caught up to his ranking and skills.
