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!
While the autumn leaves of Mount Ogura 
would never understand human emotion,
بينما أوراق الخريف لجبل أوغورا لن تفهم
العاطفة البشرية أبداً
Die Ahornblätter auf dem Berg Ogura;
hätten sie ein Herz …
Si las hojas de arce
en la montaña Ogura…
Si las hojas de arce
en la montaña Ogura…
Ogurayama mine no momijiba…
Si les feuilles rougeoyantes des cimes…
Se le foglie d'acero sul monte Ogura
 potessero soltanto avere un cuore...
Enquanto as folhas de outono do monte Ogura 
jamais entenderia as emoções humanas,
О красные клёны
На высотах горы Огура...
