It's the day of the Master and Queen challenger finals. Dr. Harada and Arata are competing for the chance to challenge the master, while Inokuma and Megumu battle it out to challenge the Queen. Harada confides in Arata that he once played against his grandfather, Eternal Master Wataya Hajime, and expresses his joy at being able to play karuta with Arata. A passionate battle spanning multiple generations begins at last!
The hazed field of reeds conceals 
clumps of bamboo shoots,
حقول القصب الضبابية تخفي كتل براعم خيزران
Es wächst Bambus
inmitten der Silbergrasfelder …
Bambú creciendo sobre…
Bambú creciendo sobre…
Asajiu no
Je voudrais
Il bambù cresce tra le canne intrecciate 
come il mio amore nascosto.
O enevoado campo de bambus escondem
os agrupamentos de brotos
В поле асадзи —
Мелкий в поле бамбук.
