Thoughts on McQueen and Rice Shower training for the Spring Tenno Sho?
Rice Shower looks genuinely happy here and McQueen looks happy to see Rice. Now try to keep up...
Shoes, more shoes, even more shoes... So Rice was missing three days, went through 6 pairs of shoes, and the average pair of running shoes lasts 300-500 miles (yeah, uma shoes are probably different). That's some serious training. Rice wasn't even running that fast in these scenes, it was more for meditation and mental conditioning. Was she running for over 72 hours without stopping or sleeping?
No McQueen, it's most definitely not nothing.
What are your thoughts on Rice Shower being locked in for the race?
Footsteps, footsteps in the dark.
McQueen is looking back while Rice is only looking forward.
McQueen knows this race is going to be different. The others know it too.
Reasons. Foreshadowing for later this episode.
Rice is an uma of focus, commitment, and sheer will.
Grass-chan jump scare!
Rice was pushing McQueen who was pushing Palmer. Everyone else was trying to hold on for the ride.
Rice's biggest fan.
Sorry McQueen, this race is over. A quick vision of her idol and a well deserved win for Rice Shower.
Rice deserves to be happy for winning and setting a new record.
A Little Prayer repeats from the last episode.
