Ep. 18: Shinobu reconciles with Chihaya while Suou faces Harada's tactical challenges

In the second round of the Queen match, Shinobu is unable to focus and Inokuma manages to win. Out of frustration, she removes her kimono and leaves Oumi Jinguu. Chihaya spots her and follows her to the shrine where they pray. In the Meijin match, Harada-sensei manages to take a second win, putting Suou in a tough spot. He then lets Suou win the third match by a huge margin, while he recovers and prepares for the forth match. Meanwhile, Inokuma reveals she is suffering from morning sickness (she is pregnant with her third child, most likely a girl). Shinobu returns and prepares for the third round. Chihaya manages to get Shinobu to wear tasuki to help her move more freely. They reconcile, and she start to regain her strong connection to the karuta cards in the match. At the same time, Harada-sensei takes a risky bet, changing his own formation constantly and sending cards meant to confuse Suou. It turns out that Suou's weakness is his eyes, more specifically, he cannot see things at the edge of his vision. It was revealed that Suou's relative also has the same affliction, albeit a much severe version where she can only perceive around thirty square centimeters of a television screen.
