Mizusawa High School karuta club makes its debut at the Tokyo regionals for the national championship.  Mizusawa successfully makes it past the group stage.  Desk-kun, who was unable to win a single match, feels that he isn't needed and says that he isn't going to play.  Taichi realizes how Desk-kun feels, so he makes a decision as the club president to bring the team together.
