The Taichi cup is an unofficial karuta tournament, attended by thirty six players who want to celebrate Taichi's birthday. The tournament is played in a Genpei style, a three on three game where all hundred cards are in play. Later, Taichi decides to stop being a coward and finally confesses his feelings to Chihaya. Chihaya apologies and leaves. Later again, the karuta club members prepare for the new term's club demo, but Miyauchi-sensei tells them that Taichi quits the club. Chihaya tries to convince Taichi to stay, but he kisses her, without her consent, and refuses.

The Class A final is packed with spectators, but Midori sneaks Chihaya and Taichi into the room through a side door. Arata has the lead over Shinobu, but Shinobu manages to close the gap between them by taking risks. Watching him play, Chihaya is reminded of Kanade's image of a stable spinning top for "impassioned," a word used to describe gods. Murao wonders what brought Arata back to karuta, but reflects that Arata developed his level of skill through hard work and practice, not talent.
