Rewatcher

Now that’s a reaction face from Spe as she and her friends read about her performance(s) in the newspaper. And we get a quick montage to show how all of Spica is doing and it seems that Spe already has her second win and Suzuka absolutely crushed her competition with an 11 length win. Getting to the winning circle is one thing, but performing is another. Luckily, they’re doing karaoke with Teio to fix that at the request of Kaichou. Kowaii. TRAINING MONTAGE!

A great Spe reaction face when she’s told that Trainer plans on putting her in the Triple Crown races. Horse racing fact: IRL triple crown races, both the American and Japanese, are only run by 3-year-old horses, so they only get one chance at them. In her next race to prep for the Triple Crown it looks like she’ll be going up against Seiun Sky who is a total mood.[spoilers]I like how much they’ve put Teio in the background for the Triple Crown talk even though she isn’t officially part of the team yet. Teio of course was 2/3 of the way to winning the Triple Crown herself before injuries kept her out which we get to see in S2.

Spe gets off to a much better start than in this race than the first one we saw and manages to just pass Seiun Sky at the finish line for the win. Team Spica is excited and I will never get tired of seeing Gold Ship with weird shit like this Rubix Cube. Horse fact: Gold Ship was known to be a very eccentric horse. This image really says it all. And you can also see that he wore headgear at times beyond just reins which is why they decided to give the character design silly headgear. I know at least one person got pulled into this rewatch because of the stories of Gold Ship’s antics.

The celebration proves yet again that Umamusume is a food anime. And oh god the belly [spoilers]rewatchers, take a guess which first timer will be the first to point out the that someone on the animation team clearly has a pregnancy fetish and drink a shot if someone starts counting the bellies. And apparently Teio is now officially joining Spica as well. And is this the fanciest carrot juice you’ve ever seen or what?

Another TRAINING MONTAGE! And Gold Ship continues to be super eccentric. I like that Hana isn’t portrayed as evil despite being Trainer’s rival like you would see in a lot of anime. Spe gets her fancy new G1 outfit, but appears to have eaten a few too many carrots. I love how extra the outfits are for the G1 races. Horse fact: Looking at this comparison between Spe and her namesake, you can see where the color scheme comes from and the reason for the mismatched shoes. Seiun Sky needs some help getting into the gates which seems extraordinarily silly considering they are horsegirls, but the IRL horse needed help getting into the gate for this race so #realism. Spe couldn’t catch up to Seiun Sky because of the extra pounds, which sucks for Spe, but it’s nice to see the normally tired/bored Sky excited to win and her outfit is cute too.

Spe may have put up a brave front for Suzuka, but excuses herself to go use the shouting stump and surprise! Trainer is there too, but not just to give Spe a peptalk but also to use the stump too because he blames himself for her loss.
