My mistake.

I think it's very likely she'd watch Arata-Shinobu too, but in a way, that would sort of invalidate all of the stuff we've seen this season about why team Karuta is so important.

My feelings exactly.

Chihaya will send a message to Arata...

I highly doubt so. Chihaya being Chihaya, her desire to improve as a karuta player will likely overwhelm whatever sense of duty she has at the key moment. It has happened before in the first season and it'll likely turn out the same way if such a toss-up occurs.
To be sure though, I agree with
Bern-san. More likely than not, Taichi will simply tell Chihaya to choose as her heart dictates. By now, everyone in the team is well aware of her personality and they wouldn't really hold it against her.
But, at the same time, that is what would make me disappointed in her. It would make her selfishness that much more apparent, though I suppose all the top players in the world are "selfish" to some extent.
