Meanwhile, Taichi's approach to karuta has changed greatly as a result of spending time with Master Suou. He then proposes an unexpected bet to Sudo at the tournament site, yet it's Chihaya who's shaken by this, unsure of Taichi's true intentions...! The one and only path to becoming Queen ends with a single loss. Chihaya now faces it with determination burning in her heart!

Best thing coming out is Villain Arc Mashima, he gotta be devious! Like saying the loser would have to quit between him and Sudo is crazy. I hate that they rush into tournaments but looks like I gots live with this now, ugh.
