So typically, the reason Taichi bullied Arata was because of two aspects?
One: When he felt confident of his abilities to remember the 100 poems and Chihaya only able to remember 50. Finding out that he's not the only big player in the class with the announcement of Arata's ability to remember all 100 poems as well probably struck him.
Two: Taichi only became interested in the subject of bullying Arata when Chihaya started showing more concern over him. But also because he was jealous of Chihaya's close attachment to Arata over the course of time. But also with a little concern of "If you join Arata, you will become unpopular as well." in which he tried to prevent Chihaya from taking that route.
Now, in the present time. Taichi probably wanted to make amends with Chihaya for saying all those mean things when they were kids possibly? At the train station, when Chihaya found out that Taichi had a girlfriend. The somewhat depressed look on Chihaya probably made Taichi feel bad for himself for the after-effects, but then Arata came up and it turned around?
Interesting first episode, will wait for more to see what will happen.
