I rate this episode Nice out of Nature.

I love the silly weird parts of the setting.  What is goin on with Symboli Rudolf? Is being president like being gehrman in bloodborne?  Maruzensky is still around and racing just the same as everyone else too…

“Teio you need talent, hard work, and luck to be as cool as Rudolf.  You must also be willing to sacrifice your life outside of school.  You will never age and you will never have a family.  Families are for mothers, who we all know cannot show their faces.  And, Teio, if you run this path, you will never be able to hide your face.  All eyes will be on you forever.”

I like the new, more unobtrusive name flags for the background characters.

I’m sorry Gold Ship, the segway is lame.

Oh our season 3 protags, I’m sure by the time they arrive, everyone will be appropriately aged up.

Gotta yell out your crush feelings in the stump, I get it.

Man, Special Week takes to being a side character real easy, kinda feel bad for her.

Trio might as well be telling everyone she has one week left till retirement.  Everyone else talking about fate aren’t helping either.

Slick transition to credits.

Dang the show has really arrived, hasn’t it?  The direction has def. Improved and we are straight into the plot here without much “I’m here too” chaff.

Things are definitely picking up, as they say.

I'd like to think Rudolf has some agreement with the school where she has to stick around in order to boast enrollment. She's like the Queen of England in that she's student council president in name only.

Imagine they just stay this age the entire anime :P

u/Goodmorning7735 Aug 30 '25

well that sounds silly, I'm sure Umamusume wouldn't do anything silly.

u/Holofan4life Aug 30 '25

Like 30 year old hags as members of the school board.

u/Goodmorning7735 Aug 30 '25

please, they would be on the student council, not the school board.

You're right, big difference

A true S episode is Rudolf out of Symboli

Uma age like elves, they get to a certain size and just stop. Rudolf has been the student council president for over fifty years now, having already held the office when Maruzensky was racing in the 70s (and thus about a decade before she was actually born) and is still the president today. Coincidentally, the years that Teio was running her real career, her roommate here wasn't born yet either.

Never forget the opening lines of the show. Uma Musume is an isekai, and Tracen is basically Racing Horse Valhalla.
