I actually don't necessarily agree that Taichi isn't on the same path as Chihaya & Arata, although he might not be there just yet. |
They altered the rules in his favor. That doesn't count
I know that everything could still happen, but from what I got til now from the show, I can't see that happen. But probably, thinking again, you are both right, it's just that I wouldn't find it fitting with Taichi's development as a Karuta player. Counting even that every talented player has been a young one and not a late one, mixing it with Taichi's whole development... I don't know, it would be OOC somehow. Wouldn't it feel a bit
shounen-like?

eheh that would be my perfect ending too, but if that's what will happen I think it should be something really similar to the queen finale match of the previous season, if you get what I mean.
But for now I think that whatever taichi gains will be from his personal growth. And nothing more. That sounds really oddly sad, because in real world it would be the best win, but since we are in the Karuta world ...
