| If there was a way to prove that Yumin is always right then I would say that she's just taking her deserved point. In reality though, she must have stolen a lot of card that were suposed to be Chihaya's. I despise this kind of gameplay. |
 |
| Reminds me of boxing in Hajime no Ippo lol |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |
| PEOPLE! This episode sucked because the writer did a masterful job of making you emotionally vested with Chihaya! That's the whole point! |
| I think everyone is FUCKING PISSED at Yumin right now, but I don't hate her. Her playstyle is EXTREMELY IRRITATING and MADE ME WANT TO PUNCH MY SCREEN but she fought for what she wanted and thought was right, Chihaya should of fought back! As we all know, you fight for what you want and believe is right and I don't think Yumin lied about any of those contentions, she didn't seem like the type to. She's just very stubborn! AND VERY FUCKING ANNOYING! But I liked her! I probably would of liked her more if she didn't pawn Chihaya! Im so sad for her now :'( If they don't announce a second season soon I think I'm going to have a rage fest! Theres absolutely NO WAY they can wrap this anime up in 3 episodes now! It would be a miracle if they could! I've loved this show so much and if the ending is rushed I think I'll cry... On another note: THIS. MANGAKA. MUST. BE. A. SADIST! I have NEVER seen a sports anime where they've lost so much and failed! It's making this show SUPER ENDEARING but god it's like torment to watch! Everytime they lose I want to jump through the freaking screen and hug them! It's teaching them things and helping them learn and actually very realistic! I can't wait to see how they all turn out! This anime has had so much character development and growth! One of the BEST animes I've seen in ages! Also NAWWWWWWWW Kana was so cute this ep! Just her quick 2 min snippet confirmed what I thought would be great for her! I've always thought Kana would be a good reader and now it looks like she'll pursue that! I LOVED when she read cards when they trained, her voice was not grating on the ears like alot of the readers have been xD It suits her so well to! I can't wait til next weeks episode! As per usual >_< |
| now I wonder if that was fair.... |

Jay_Ox said: The ex-Queen didn't win that match, Chihiya lost it I totally agree. It was a bitter defeat as her spirit collapsed. I so admire the characters here for not giving up at times like this, they are going through mental hell and still keep going. I don't think Yumin can be called cheating, but that trait of hers is makes her unpleasant to deal with, not to mention that she can be wrong sometimes which may make her unintentional liar. They should videotape the field she's playing on *grumble grumble* |

HawthorneKitty said: Fuck I hate Yumin. I'm irked that Chihaya lost, but I just hate the way that Yumin plays and I'm not even the one playing karuta. I hope she gets beat down like a piece of shit by Shinobu again. Agreed, I was completely overthrown when I saw her losing to that person. |
     |
| Arg Chihaya should be more persistent and confident of her own playing style. She lost her cool, just because Yumin keep arguing with her. Chihaya should also learn to be more tactical to fight back these little dirty tricks. |
 |
| There are peoples who hate Yumin. This world is so wrog. |
 |
| damn Chihaya losing again and i doubt there gonna be a second season since the sales were so poor hopefully there will be one. |
| Okay, so this is episode 22, theres 3 episodes left, how the hell are they going to conclude this season, especially with no announcement for a 2nd season....??? They build up the "reunion" with arata, but that reunion match has yet to even happen... If there's no announcement for a second season then this anime is just another one of those shows that stop early, and make you read the manga.... -_- |

| That was frustrating.. poor dumb Chihaya. Hated this episode, and only 3 left oO |
| . |
| This is getting so frustrating. Not only the fact that Chihaya keeps losing every seemingly important match but also the fact that this show is getting REALLY slow. It started off so good and now I find myself slowly losing interest. It's a pity. :/ Also there should have been a penalty for the coach interrupting the match. That was just really unfair. I don't get why they wouldn't make a problem out of that and it's mostly because of that that Chihaya lost this one. |

| this episode just made me feel frustrated to do anything else.. Chihaya's depressed state in the last scene just channeled into me.. add the fact that this doesn't even have a preview and we have only 3 episodes left.. i need to watch a show that could make me a bit happier.. |
| Chihaya at the end. :/ |

With just 3 epsodes to go, this is not good. |
 |
| What bothered me most of all wasn't Yumi's rules lawyering. The thing I was annoyed by was that this was considered by several people in the show as something to be applauded. I know there are people who act like this in games, and I've seen it, but I've NEVER seen anyone who looks up to those people. It's annoying behavior and should be treated like it is. |
| To think I actually felt bad for Yumin at some point, that match was ridiculous. >:/ |
  |
| I think the key is that contest Yumin challenges every close result, not just the ones she legitimately thinks that she won. That strikes me as being somewhat less than honorable. |
Please don't feed the trolls! In my next life I want to collide at the corner with the cute transfer student carrying a piece of toast in her mouth...rodac |
| Not bad episode. |

| Hello ? Can you hear me ? This is called CHIHAYAfuru, then why is this show cheering for the opponent ? |
  |
| Dammit, Chihaya, didn't Harada-sensei tell you to NEVER GIVE UP EVEN A SINGLE CARD?! Contest every single one! I agree with most people here - even if Yumin isn't technically breaking any rules, her tactics seem rather underhanded and less honorable than straight-up play. I was really hoping Chihaya would bring out her stubborn, loud personality and her new, accurate karuta style to beat Yumin, but I guess not =__=; With only 3 episodes left to go, I'm wondering what they'll do with such a short amount of time. There seems to be so many loose threads to wrap up (the plot with Arata, Kana's new goal, Taichi's realization this episode, a rematch against Shinobu, and who the hell is the Master?), that I'm really really hoping they'll make a second season. |
| Here is me hoping it was all just a thought sequence that Chihaya imagined would happen if she didn't get her act together. No preview so I can just delude myself. =P |
| -w- I hated Yuumin this episode was frustrating but also kind of realistic because it showed us chihaya has a long way to go. I can't belive there are only 3 episodes left :( |
 |
| Fuck, that end really surprised me, I thought Chihaya was going to win... I'm so pissed off by that Yumi. |
 |
| I'm probably the only one who cares about the fact that Suoh wasn't introduced :( |
| Good episode, but lame way of making Chihaya lose. 3/5 |
MissileSoup said: There's nothing wrong with her style of playing, but it is quite frustrating to watch. This lose and rebound trend is getting tedious. I agree with that. I imagine that most players swing at the card without knowing the precise placement of their fingertips and where they attack. That comes from paying close attention. Even the small details can make a difference in match. It's okay to argue about something that you're sure that you saw and want to make it clear. I don't think it's cheating of lying at all. On a side note, I really like the soundtrack that was playing during the Chihaya and Yumi's match. OST where? |

| Another great episode. Love series like these where I really feel for the side characters - I swear, I really wanted Yumi to win! XD I mean, it must be hard to finally reach your goal then get it snatched away so quickly ... glad that she managed to come back though; she really got into Chihaya's head, didn't she? I was surprised at how well she did it, though ... I wonder if Kana is going to decide to be a reader instead? I totally think that's what they're hinting at ... I wonder what they're gonna do now. Is Chihaya eliminated? WILL SHE HAVE TO SHAVE HER HEAD? Lol :P Hopefully she bounces back next time ... plus, more Taichi please XD |
| 0_o I think karuta matches should have a referee watching each game or something... I mean where is the proof of who touched the card first and whatnot? Something that's resolved by arguing between two players... I don't think it's fair. P.S. I don't dislike Yumin, don't really see a reason to dislike her. It's not like she was cheating - she wouldn't need to after dedicating her entire life to karuta. |

| Felt on edge too while watching Chihaya vs Yumin... On a lighter note, Nishida counting ants and his Sensei!!!! XD |
 |
| I hope Chihaya didn't lose... now 3 episodes to go~ I hope there's second season. I wonder how will they end the anime... hmm p.s.I hope Arata can come back and join the team anyways, Chihayafuru s AMAZING~ xD |
ChihArata VS TaiChihaya |
| Didn't really like this episode. Felt boring compared to the previous ones. |
 |
| The animation was great this ep, like really really really great and I can't hate Yumi because I fucking love everyone in this show too much including her because she's realistic and that alone is worth liking wow this show gmh like no other makes me want to do my homework for tomorrow, even wow wow. |
| Well Chihaya learned a good lesson today. She's too nice for her own good. sometimes when people move fast like that no knows who touched what first and that includes themselves so if they argue about it the one with the weakest character will lose. Chihaya could have won the first argument easily considering she was the one that knocked the card away so she had more ground to step on but she played nice and lost her confidence with it. Also it seems that other girl won't continue playing Karuta for long and will become one of those poem readers. |

| A broken soul... xD It was so intriguing seeing the previous Queen play. I thought she was pretty funny to be honest, iono where all the hate is coming from. xD Btw, does this mean Chihaya has to shave her head bald now!? (or did I miss something) :p |
 |
| I thought Yumin was pretty funny too, once she got her spirit back anyways. Challenging all the cards worked as a good psychological tactic, though I think she was just being stubborn. |
| “Money can't buy dere” |
| I understand that losing is part of growing and developing as a player, but holy shit this is getting annoying. There's only just 3 episodes left and the protagonists in this show only know how to lose. It's getting quite frustrating. I was hoping to see Chihaya as the new Queen by the end of the show. Hopefully there will be a second season in a near future because I doubt the ending we're going to get is anything but rewarding. |
 |
| Chihaya should have argued with Yumi instead of letting her get her way that easily. |
| Amazing how they keep introducing different players and respective styles of play into the game, for a game like Karuta I was doubting they could pull it off, but everything is so interesting! |
 |
| Yeah, Chihaya should have argued more, but if she lets points go away that easily, of course she will lose. |
