听到新对她说：“已经没在玩花牌了”之后，千早和太一两人，决定前往新的故乡──福井。在那里见到了新，千早高兴的提议，希望三个人能再一起玩花牌，相对于千早的热情，新却是冷漠以对。知道新已经不是以前的新，想知道原因为何的千早，要怎么做呢？

高中锦标赛预赛的准决赛中，他们遇到的对手竟然是白波会的王牌选手坪口，所教导的高中。瑞泽的花牌社社员们，受到坪口的战略影响。无法集中精神而陷入苦战的太一，能以社长和选手的身份，带领团队赢得胜利吗？

Inokuma, who won the Queen title four times in a row; Sudo, who can throw an opponent off with his words alone; Murao, the fourth seat in the Nagumo Society; and Arata, who ended the Queen's undefeated record. The Shiranami Society members are faced with four powerful opponents, but Harada's insistence brings the other three back to the mindset of playing offensive karuta. How these four matches will end is anyone's guess!

It's the day of the Master and Queen challenger finals. Dr. Harada and Arata are competing for the chance to challenge the master, while Inokuma and Megumu battle it out to challenge the Queen. Harada confides in Arata that he once played against his grandfather, Eternal Master Wataya Hajime, and expresses his joy at being able to play karuta with Arata. A passionate battle spanning multiple generations begins at last!

Harada leads Suo with two wins and one loss as the Master match enters its fourth round. Harada has studied everything about Suo, including the weakness that Chihaya told him about, and he dominates the match with his trademark offensive karuta. Suo remains calm despite Harada's strong momentum, recalling what his aunt, who raised him, said to him when he was a child. Her words are the reason Suo continues to play karuta.

Taichi has told Chihaya about the feelings he had kept secret for so long. Now he's left the karuta club, and Chihaya's regret over failing to notice how he felt leaves her unable to play. But some new members have joined Mizusawa's karuta club, and among them is Tamaru Midori, a Class A player. She is a promising new member, but also a troublemaker.
