| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Chihaya's opponent is the previous queen, who is depressed. So Chihaya saw the moment she won the title and been adoring her. Even though she's strong, Chihaya tries her best. Previous queen is jealous of young ones like the current queen (or "especially" the current queen). She's smiling and cold because she's tired of losing all the time ever since she became the queen. Chihaya is getting the "heat" on her. Chihaya missed and that woke her enemy. The people outside cannot see because there's mist. The enemy's teacher (= Nikuman's teacher) encouraging her. That also encouraged Chihaya. lol @ being tricked by her "it's mine", which is her usual karuta play. And Chihaya lost. |

| Ugh. Dammit, Chihaya, why did you have to lose to that picky bitch! |
| 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. |

| I guess bald a Chihaya will be a new look for her after losing to the previous queen |
 |
| I'm not going to hate on Yumi. I know nothing about Karuta so i won't try to guess on whether or not she's playing fair. The other player needs to argue back a bit if they really want to win. On another note, it seems Yumi needs a boyfriend or something so she won't feel so insecure about being plain looking and boring. |
| I hate this episode! It's not contesting its lying Yumin. I want to see how she got owned by the current Queen. |
| I'm so angry about Chihaya's loss this time. Seriously, that Yumin chick was so annoying and b*tchy. She does not deserve to win if she acts like that! D:< |
 |
| The previous Queen is so bad Chihaya should have won o_o |
 |
| Chihaya's hair :( |
 |
| i really didnt see this coming. chihaya should have won this match godammit, its already near the end of the show! hope the ending is not dissapointing |
| In the end Chihaya got too hot-headed again and lost her temper which leaded to her defeat. While it would have been great if she had won there's no denying that Yumin probably had more experience and also plays more tactical. |
 |
| Chihaya at a point of the match got overconfident, I think you can never take your opponent for granted, because you may end up losing. Seriously, she was the previous Queen therefore is incredibly talented and strong. |
| I stand here in silence as I saw Chihaya lose this one, almost if I was right next to her watching (weird right?) Losing to Yumin makes sense, I don't know why people are mad at her, from the calls I saw, she they looked legitimate and if you don't believe that, argue against her. With only 3 episodes left, I have no idea how they can pull off an ending if Chihaya lost here. I hope another season comes though, this is one of the top animes I get to see each year. |
 |
| I love Chihayafuru and all, but this episode really pissed me off for some reason. T_T |

D:< The ones who deserve to win are those who fight with whatever means necessary. I paused at one point where Chihaya picked the card, but it looked like Yumin really touched it first. I don't know about the rest. Maybe that's her playing style - touching them and then claiming them. |
| Yumin, first characther I dislike in this anime. She annoyed me. Like, STFU with the arguing you bitch :P |
 |
| OKAY!!! FUCK EVERYONE!!!! -___________- I really felt like crying for Chihaya in this episode!! T____T Those dumb bitches and that pork bun kid were rooting for that ex-queen! -___- Talk about a stab in the back -_______- I thought it was a plan for disaster when Chihaya got cocky with the match and being over confident that she will win, but still, I hate Yumin! -____- I HOPE THE QUEEN AND CHIHAYA CRUSH HER LITTLE SPIRIT!!!! >:OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO -______- |
| This episode was pretty lame, lol. I would have argued back as well. "I don't see any high-speed, stop motion cameras in this room that can prove you touched it first, lolol" |

parfaited said: Unless we get another season, I don't see how we can get a solid good ending out of this in just 3 episodes. Color me freaking impressed if they can pull it off, but I highly doubt it. I've given this series a 10/10 since the beginning and I don't want to see this being all rushed at the end. I really do hope we get more. I agree. - I was also ticked off at the ex-queen. so freakin' annoying!!! :| So did Chihaya really lose? or was the ex-queen lieing? o.0 |
| 💕 |
| idk.. i think Chihaya annoyed me more than Yumin in this episode. Not cause she got all cocky about possibly beating the previous queen but cause she needs to stop losing. lol |
| I liked Yumin. |
 |
| Ok, that Yumin was annoying. I actually hoped Chihaya would fight back and show confidence that she touched it first but... Oh well. Only good thing about this episode is Kana-chan finding out how cool the Top Card Readers can be (and maybe hinting something?). To me, this and the episode when Taichi lost kind of break the charm of this anime. Not that they should win all the time... I hope they pull something cool, refreshing and passionate out of the next 3eps. |

| Argh. Chihaya better not lose in the last episode. That would be a terrible way to conclude the anime . _ . |

While it would have been great if she had won there's no denying that Yumin probably had more experience and also plays more tactical. There's a difference between being tactical and being dirty. I though Yumin's playing in the second half was very dirty. |
SilencedSoul said: I liked Yumin. Yes, someone agrees with me. |
| Don't care if it's legal in the actual game, but Yumin was a bitch, pure and simple. |

| Chihaya shoulda called bull shit on everything she said and made her prove it thats what i woulda done |
| <img src="http://img856.imageshack.us/img856/1226/himari31.png" /> |
| Chihaya should have contested every card too and never allowed the bitch to take even one close card. Being kind and forgiving when you want to play at top level in any sports (well, at mostly anything really) is a cruel mistake you have to correct as soon as possible. At least if I was playing, I can assure you the former Queen wouldn't have taken any of those close cards, they would have had to give a personal referee (and potential video replays ;)) for the match ! Ahh, Chihayafuru, always so powerful emotionally and so perfect in terms of characterization that you really feel like you're a part of the show. Fantastic. |

DarthObsidian said: Why don't they have judges watching each match to settle these disputes? Or even better, have a camera on the ceiling above each match so they know for sure? It seems really stupid to let players decide for themselves who touched it first, since a player like Yumin will just lie and say "I touched it first" wether they did or not and keep arguing until their opponent gives up. This. Makes me rage! That "Yumin" character is so bitchy....just because she doesn't have any other redeeming features besides being slightly good at Karuta. Isn't there someone that watches over them play like a referee kinda guy? If there is, what the hell are they doing, picking their nose!? As for Chihaya, remember what Dr Haruda said..."Every card on the field is yours!" so fight for it! Hope she gets her ass handed to her by Shinobu again if she even makes it that far by playing dirty. |

MM-Rosiie said: I can see it now, Chihaya loses to some unranked player and she commits suicide. Arata follows her because that is how much he loves her. Taichi goes off and bangs multiple chicks to relieve his sorrow. Nikuman eats nikuman. Desk guy marries Ooe and not a single fuck was given.Argh. Chihaya better not lose in the last episode. That would be a terrible way to conclude the anime . _ . |

| This lose will hopefully help Chihaya grow, but god it pissed me off to the point I wanted to put my fist through the screen. |
 |
| God, that Yumin reminds me of those kids who would always try get 1 more mark on a test from the teacher, and argue day and night just for that one more mark. You win by raw skills, not through a debate. |

Exactly, I demand another season XD I have one word for this episode: Depressing I mean seriously I don't have any expectations anymore -.- The match was good but...she keeps on losing lol (i'm a horrible person >.>) |

| I get the feeling, that chihaya is going to dispute the last card...and make a comeback somehow in ep 23. |

Me too! More than "get the feeling" I was hoping for that too... Damn, Chihaya is just to cute to go against such devious opponents... She went for "I'm passionate with this game" to being passive, let Yumin contest all of her cards and lose her confidence because "she was cocky against the previous Queen" (but given the circumstances at the beginning hell yeah, she should have been!). Oh well, she is still young, those mistakes are normal. I'm sure she'll grow a lot stronger from it. B-but the anime is already so near to its end! x_x |
| omg this episode was really horrible because for the past few times now Chihaya lost her matches so its pretty sad. and that yumin girl was annoying as heck. |

Maybe those three final epis are all about Arata becoming the Meijin? That I can see being done in such a short time and would be a nice way to close the series. |
| This episode was okay... Yumin kinda pissed me off, but someone's gotta win and someone's gotta lose. I just don't know how this show will wrap up.... ....2nd season please!?! |
  |
| I didn't like this episode. I found it irritating. The pacing was unpleasant. It wasn't just Yumi, Kitano-sensei was also irritating. The window scene went on for too long. There was too much condensation on the windows. And they kept recycling the same stuff again and again. The execution of their idea was poorly done. Offhand, it's the first time that the show failed in delivering game drama that kept me interested. I'm sure that they'll get back on track next episode. |
