| Back to the present! Chihaya finally became an A class karuta player. But wow, who would've thought Arata would end up quitting? He was so motivated as a kid. |
| Finally, the childhood part ended. I really liked this episode, my only complaint is that Taichi definitely sounds different than when he was younger but Chihaya sounds too similar to her past self at times |
 |
| Predictable, haha. But I like it! C: Maybe he injured his hand or gave up Karuta to work and help pay for his grandfather's medical/funeral expenses (or trauma in the case his grandpa died? v likely considering it's a cerebral hemorrhage + old age-- that combo rarely ends well). But man, Arata's still wearing those type of clothes? I wanted him to grow up super HAWT. Husbando material. Lolololol xD Taichi's gf isn't that pretty :3 he shouldn't have dated her on a whim, smh. Cuz he clearly still has strong feelings for Chihaya. O whales. He can take his beta male L. |

| But ahhh!!! It was a good episode! |
| Happy to see Chihaya reach class A which I assume is a somewhat high ranking in Karuta but damn is it depressive for her to hear Arata stopped playing karuta. |
 |
| Apparently she's got quite a few roles in Chihayafuyu. I'm a bit disappointed that this one is nameless but here's hoping! The after match theme stood out to me too. It was pretty cute~ There was gonna be some conflict but I didn't think he'd bloody drop Karuta, his one personality trait aside from sucking at losing. I sorta expected him to become an elite St instead so I'm surprised it went this way. |

| Damn that sucks. Chihaya found personal fulfillment through playing along with others, feels like effort wasted since Chihaya furu can't get back together |
| Arata's grandpa must have died. There's no other reason |
 |
| The animators injecting all that intensity into those card swipes never gets old. Watching the drain for Chihaya's enthusiasm from winning get pulled was heartbreaking man, not to mention the state Arata was in to give an answer like that. |
| Awesome episode. Chihaya is such a cutie, but I'm sad that Arata gave up karuto 😭 she's just trying to get the band back together, you know? Hope they can all be reunited in the next episode 🙏 |
  |
| You could see it coming from a mile away, the kid's grandpa passed away from a brain hemorrhage, the kid gets depressed and can never play karuta again or he loses all his interest in the game because every time he plays it it reminds him of his grandpa |
 |
| Oh come on, now Arata is being an ASS? Does everyone have to treat Chihaya like dirt? |
