Ep. 16: Taichi memainkan peran Suou tanpa cela, Chihaya menunjukkan kelemahan, dan Arata menonton pertandingan Meijin secara daring.
Tayang pada 29 Januari 2020
Taichi plays against Suou and berates him for ridiculing Chihaya. He loses, but without committing a single fault. He then apologies to Suou for lying about being Chihaya's boyfriend, and asks for a match review. Taichi expresses interest in Suou's playing style. Chihaya goes to see Harada-sensei and tells him about Suou's weakness. The entire Mizusawa Karuta Club spends Christmas Eve at Tsukuba's home, and try to convince his brothers that Santa Claus is real (and not played by their father). The day of the Meijin and Queen match arrives, but Chihaya notices Arata is absent at the venue. It turns out Arata has a fever and he plans to watch the match via online broadcast.
