Funny! "People who haven't memorized Hundred Poets are bugs." Love that line! And I thought Nishida's sister stole the episode: her chibi form was pure lol!!!
Still, an interesting episode. Interesting to see what the writers selected as key moments in the earlier episodes. Plus the teasing on the romance was completely over the top. I hope native-speakers can provide some comment on the various idioms chosen for Taichi, Chihaya, and Arata.
The episode title is from the 26th poem of the Hyakunin Isshu. Thus Mostow:
O autumn leaves
on the peak of Ogura Hill,
if you have a heart,
I would that you would wait
for one more royal progress.
Apparently the "royal progress" refers to seasonal expeditions made by the emperor on the Oi river. This episode is similarly an excursion out of the narrative, so the title may amount to a request to the reader to show patience while the main story is interrupted.
Everyone loves Kana! even Chihaya! "There's only one possible answer"--so true!
