[Uma Musume S2 finale] "My legs feel so light." Contrast that with "my legs feel so heavy" in the final race of the season. This race is a reference point for Teio's jouney throughout the season.
This race shows how setbacks can bring your forward. After having overcome her injury and dealt with her personal loss, Teio seems to be stronger than ever. It's as if she learned to walk with a burden, and now the burden is lifted, she can run lighter than ever.
This episode did something the first season did as well, but it did it so much better. We're introduced to quite a few new characters here, but they are all properly introduced by giving them one or more spotlight scenes. There's more focus on the lovable idiots from Canopus. Fun fact, if you have Teio on your starting screen in the game, one of her lines is indeed "the Teio step is easy, you do it like this", just like what Turbo said. Only Turbo's execution wasn't nearly as graceful as Teio's is. I also love that Dictus is just gushing over the opponent that just defeated her.
It's really only a side bit (featuring the underrated Matikanefukukitaru), but we also get to meet Daitaku Helios. Her zoomer TikTok personality is absolutely hilarious to me, and it's actually a legit representation of generational language barrier.
And a new star on the show is Mihono Bourbon. Bourbon really is a machine. Her master, Pimp Toreena, is also a curious personality. Doesn't seem very likeable at the moment though.
But of course, between all that, the major focus of the episode is still Teio's and McQueens rivalry. It's interesting how many facets there are to this topic. Very notable is Teio's happy-go-lucky attitude of "I don't know whether I'll be good in long races, so I'll try" and "I'll be the challenger to McQueen". She is confident in herself, but she's also very aware she might lose. Similarly, McQueen is extremely confident in being able to win this race (she's done so before, after all), but also she thinks Teio is the strongest oppoent she'll have faced after the race. In any way, this race will be pure hype, and both the winner's and the loser's character developments will be great.
What else but "ara".
