| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Taichi vs. Nikuman battle. Taichi was sad about Chihaya not looking at their battle, though. Back to the kimono girl vs. megane guy, which Chihaya's looking. They did their best and kimono girl won with tear on her and Chihaya, and megane guy congratulating her. Then Taichi's scream made Chihaya back to watching the severe battle side. And they each have one card left, and all of them are near them. She's regretting that she didn't watch their battle, very important one. The air is very heavy. The one near Nikuman was read after a long readings of tricky ones. Taichi frustrated at himself for losing, which is not enough to win. Nikuman talking to Taichi and Chihaya heard what Nikuman said... lol~ she's changing how to call people after hearing so. And Chihaya already forgot what she did!! lol~. Kimono girl was able to do her karuta because the megane guy was her opponent. Taichi was tired and fell asleep and Chihaya got his head on her shoulder. (Nice moment and might excite Taichi fans) Arata seeing the battle they did on the paper, and surprised to see Taichi's name there (2nd place). He decided to participate the battle. |

I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| That really sucks for Taichi. |
| Congratulations to Kana-chan and Nishida for winning and Komano for advancing! :D But really wanted Taichi to win, his style and memory are so amazing... for it to come down to luck at the end... :( .. Awww *hug* |
 |
| another few seconds of Arata. :)) Taichi and Chihaya looks good together. x3 but I fell in love with chihaya x arata at the beginning. But give them a good fight TAICHI! :D |
... =_=     |
RudeKoffing said: I love this anime so much but kind of feel it's better without Arata. I agree. Not hating or anything but he was absent for so long that i don't feel connected with him. I RAGED! I screamed! I CURSED! ARGHHHHHHH! When Taichi lost i was "WTF?!". Oh, well. This episode truly deserves 5/5 |
| aaah a little sad that Taichi lost ;( and well his expression during his match was really funny somehow ^^' and oh I loved the little moment with Taichi and Chihaya... when he was sleeping ^^ |

Not hating or anything but he was absent for so long that i don't feel connected with him. My thoughts exactly, I just don't know much about him and his "long-breaks" got me disconnected from him, to the point that I almost don't mind if he comes back or not. |
| Poor Taichi ;A; The little Chihaya x Taichi moment at the end was win~ |
 |
| poor taichi |
 |
| Whether in sports, academics, or perhaps in love, second place hurts the most. |
| heartbreaking. was literally clutching my pearls at every second. taichi...taichi ;_____; seriously, taichi has become one of my favourite anime characters ever. he's completely different from all other bishies in shoujou manga. like kazehaya, he's portrayed as being this perfect boy that girls can dream about..however taichi has many many flaws. he's a coward, he's selfish. but that's just what really pulls your heartstrings..he's so real. ugh all dis emotion after this episode. this 25 minute episode was my valentine's date. and it was a great one. |
| TAICHI AND CHIHAYA FTW!!!!!!!!!! T________________T |
| Jack of all trades, master to none. GG, bro. |
     |
| I really thought Taichi would win. :[ I like the way the series is progressing though and can't wait for the next episode. :D |
 |
| Love this series. Ya for Arata moment!! <3 And when Taichi lost... </3 EdenBaggins said: Whether in sports, academics, or perhaps in love, second place hurts the most. So close, yet so far. :( |
| I don't really like Taichi, I like Arata more, but lately I am starting to take a liking towards him. So sad when he lost, you can tell he really wanted to win and he was upset when he lost. I could tell he wasn't gonna win, but I kinda wanted him to. I also ship Chihaya and Taichi, so when Chihaya pulled his head towards her, I was smiling haha aww. |
As it turns out, living was a punishment...  |
bakuramariks said: I RAGED! I screamed! I CURSED! ARGHHHHHHH! When Taichi lost i was "WTF?!". Oh, well. This episode truly deserves 5/5 OMG THIS SCENE MADE ME MELT! XD Taichi all the way! <3 It's really a shame he lost! I wanted to see Taichi vs Arata, but well, I think the manga will end this way: Taichi vs Arata in Karuta! XD |
| RANK UP Kana D>C Desk boy D>C Porky B>A damn i wanted Taichi to rank up too Lol Porky: Chihaya is an airhead who give out weird nicknames Chihaya over hears and gets depressed because its true |
 |
| Such an amazing episode, I really wanted Taichi to win but I was expecting that Porky would get it. Also expected Kana-chan too. My fangirl self died when Chihaya put Taichi's head on her shoulder. And yay, Arata makes an appearance! |
| 0o0 Taichi x Chihaya moment! YAY! <3 AND ARATA~ He's opting back in now! |
| "Aiming for the mark takes precision, balance, and patience." ....Screw that, let's shoot the damn thing! |
| Poor Taichi TAT The match was intense....I was really hoping he would win. I seriously had a fangirl moment when Arata appeared XD Hopefully he will now get serious!! |
 |
| This epi was sooooo intense!!! ... But poor Taichi... D: I hope he can advance someday and break his 2nd place streak! |
| I agree with what was said earlier about Arata. I don't really dislike him but he's been out of the picture for too long for me to actually care about him. He's only there once in a while and I actually think it's better if he would come back sadly =( I ship Taichi and Chihaya for a while now... actually since they went to see Arata lol. I was quite happy with how he was asleep and she pulled him toward her. I wish she could notice how Taichi cares for her and return his feeling but... Oh well ! It's like Nikuman said... lol. Taichi is such a lovable character. I've seen that being said earlier too but that character is 'real'. He doesn't have only quality. He's doing thing in a selfish way sometimes, yes. However, this is making his so sweet ! It's making me like him so much and it's probably something I dislike about Arata. Other than having his 'weakness, since his grandfather died... He's empty so far. He's always too kind, too nice. Too much everthing. Taichi all the way ! I'm happy Kana won. Her versus. the guy with glasses was really nice. Sucks for Taichi to lose because of luck... Really the worst way to lose. |
 |
| Chihaya's reaction to porky calling her an egghead xD |
 |
| Man Taichi keeps drawing the short end of the stick. This man needs some love! |
    |
| Arata is back! He recognizes Nishida's name of course, from the middle school tournaments. And he saw the name of his old childhood friend, Taichi, who almost made to A-class. And yes, second place sucks. Especially when the results between you and first place are so close. |
 |
| Taichi, eternal second and unlucky even when (not) advancing ranks. Must be a curse but at the same time that got him slightly closer to Chihaya. Perfect episode once again. |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
| I hope chihaya will realise Taichi's feeling for her, and hers for his. Which normal girl will lend a normal friend a shoulder to sleep on? She must have some likings for him subconsciously. |
 |
| I don't see why so many people pity Taichi for jellyjar said: Which normal girl will lend a normal friend a shoulder to sleep on? A normal friend who's simply being considerate that their teammate and friend lost in a big match, enough to leave them in despair? Also, a lot of normal friends apparently...depending on how you define "normal" and/or "friend". Kurogashi said: Man Taichi keeps drawing the short end of the stick. This man needs some love! All I see is him hitting the jackpot in the lottery, so I think he's getting enough love as it is--maybe too much...even in it's only a close friendship. |

| Taichi lost, but fell asleep and was put on Chihaya to rest... I really d'awwwwed at that scene. Arata, okaeri! :D |
| Dutch anime blogger with a love for Ikuhara's antics and proper storytelling. |
| Chihaya x Taichi moment was sooo cuuute. *kyaaaa* Why Taichi didn't wake up?!! Chihaya's expressions were hilarious xDD |
 Just fuck already! |
 |
bastek66 said: Just fuck already! Look at Chihaya's smug "bitch plz he's mine" face in that gif. |
| Taichi and Chihaya look so good together... I fell in love with them. And I wanted him to win ;_; Also, meh, I'm another one who isn't connected with Arata. |
 |
| *finally breathes out* O_O I can't believe I actually started crying when Taichi and Nishida's match ended. It wasn't even because I felt bad that Taichi lost, I guess it was some sort of relief that the tension is finally over... I must be taking this too seriously, but damn... TAICHI & CHIHAYA SCENE IN THE CAR. SO WONDERFUL. Oh shit Arata is coming back -.- Meh. I was sure he'd be my favorite when the show just started, I was NOT expecting to love Taichi this much. C'mon Taichi, take Chihaya before he returns! D: |
| & with this episode it is proved that nishida has fallen for taichi while taichi's feeling are rising for him or thats what it seemed like. |
 |
| Oh my god that was so exciting. I want Taichi and Chihaya to be together, but it looks like Chihaya's going to be with Arata. I loved him more when he was a child D: I can't even understand whether Arata loves her! I can not understand him at all |
| Realized that I don't really like Porky-kun. Not the match, it was okay, but his general attitude. Chihaya at least says what she says to his face, he does it behind her back. |

| Really, I didn't expect Taichi to win. Somehow I managed to think like if Kana-chan was on left hand side then to make it different person from right hand side will win and it was Nishida. Anyway, the best episode so far. |

| HOLY CRAP, THIS EPISODE WAS FREAKING AMAZING. I was actually super nervous and it takes a LOT for an anime to really make me feel ;P It was nice to see Kana and Komano (I finally learned his name like Chihaya lol) and their battle, and how they both played their respective styles. I thought they might have made him get a comeback win but he didn't, but I'm glad they both got to advance :D Then ... oh my god Taichi and Nishida *_* That was freaking intense! Both of them down to one card like that ... I really thought Taichi would win, but he didn't, I feel so bad for him! Lol when he said "I guess you got lucky" ... I thought he was gonna tell them which cards were left exactly lol ;P Nice part at the end with Nishida bonding with Taichi I suppose XD Then in the car with Chihaya acting like that (which I think is better honestly lol) and TAICHI WITH HIS HEAD ON HER SHOULDER AWWWWWWW ;3 ARATA IS GONNA GO AND FACE TAICHI ISN'T HE?! Oh my goodness this is getting so exciting :D I can't believe I have to wait another WEEK for the next episode ... T_T |
| Chihaya x Taichi forever. Arata can go out with the current queen... |
bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
| I massacred my fingernails during the matches, specially during Taichi vs Nishida |
