Inokuma, who won the Queen title four times in a row; Sudo, who can throw an opponent off with his words alone; Murao, the fourth seat in the Nagumo Society; and Arata, who ended the Queen's undefeated record. The Shiranami Society members are faced with four powerful opponents, but Harada's insistence brings the other three back to the mindset of playing offensive karuta. How these four matches will end is anyone's guess!
the thistle and brush are 
blown by the autumn wind
تُطيّر رياح الخريف الشوك والأغصان
wie ein sanftes Klopfen an meiner Tür
durch das Gebüsch …
Ashi no maroya ni akikaze…
Avec les lattes de l’abri sous…
E dal tetto fatto di giunchi 
entra il vento d'autunno.
o Cardo e os Arbustos são 
levados pelo vento do outono
«И в шалаш тростниковый
Врывается осенний ветер».
