Then there is Kanade. What really surprised me here was that there were two matches of which we hardly got to see anything: Kanade's and Taichi's. What really intrigues me was why Kanade finished before Taichi, which canvas shoes anime really made me think that we haven't really seen much about how she actually improved. All we know is that she suddenly has gotten really good, with multiple wins in a row despite being dead tired. Still, was Taichi just against a better player? It seemed like the best two seemed to be against Chihaya and Nishida. I mean, Taichi is pretty much an A-Class player at this point, as soon as he manages to win that damned tournament, so what exactly worked against him there?
This episode was also full of hints about special cards: the cards that contain the names of everyone. Chhaya lost hers to Anime Canvas Megumu, Megumu lost hers to Chihaya. And I noticed the creators also dropping the names for the cards for Arata and Shinobu. Yay for building up!
Holy crap! When Nishida lashed out to Tsutomu last episode, I did not expect that it was about to build up to something as amazing as here right now. I mean, the outcome of this episode was predictable, but the way in which it happened totally wasn't!
Most of the episode was about Chihaya and her growth. Chihaya lost to Megumu, but it's clear that she has become better, hand painted canvas shoes while at the same time that she has a long way to go (the way how her nails were clenched into the palm of her hands the whole time). And then when she lost, Tsutomu really came out of nowhere to really steal the show. This show already had the luck of the draw decide against the team's favor, so with this it is a really good way to balance out. Because of this you really don't know what to expect when things come down to it. Either way it was Tsutomu's crowning moment of awesome there.
