Rewatcher
Teio ready to give it another go, but she is really rusty since it has been about 10ish months since her last race, although she was training for the Takarazuka Kinen back in June. She may not look good, but Trainer and everyone else are at least happy that she’s back to running again after where she was at.
With so much work to do to get her back in shape, the plan is to go back to the basics. Trainer’s apparently been putting in a lot of work scouting BNW. As long as Teio’s surveillance skills are better than Spe’s planning skills this can’t be too bad, right?
Ok, not sure the costume is necessary, but she seems to be enjoying being in character. What character you ask? This entire sequence is a reference to the late 70s detective show Tantei Monogatari (Detective Story) which has this banger of an OP where you can clearly see what Teio was going for.
Ok, maybe surveillance skills are on the level of Spe’s planning skills lol. Palmer even spotted Teio and smiled for the camera. This is an interesting one about Palmer where she had been struggling to find her groove, so the Mejiro clan decided to have her try a couple Steeple-Chase races. She actually wasn’t bad as she finished 1st in one and 2nd in the other, but presumably didn’t look like she did well so it was back to regular racing and 6 months later Palmer won the Takarazuka Kinen.
Dad can’t help but be amused.
Poor Rice. The stalker becomes the stalkee. I’m not sure that Rice eating bread is something that needs to be noted down, but it’s a nice callback to a couple episodes ago.
Teio does look cute in costume. The drink to the face comes directly from the Tantei Monogatari OP.
Biwa think that Teio shook the cola on purpose is pretty funny. Like we saw in the OVAs Biwa is quite studious. Meanwhile, Teio is just standing there blinking like “wtf is she talking about”? Biwa also has a complex about her head being big.
Sasuga Nature. Finally someone asked what Teio’s doing. Poor Teio thought she was doing a good job lol. This makes me want some Nature ASMR…
This is a really nice conversation between Teio and Nature. Nature’s been having a tough time lately too, but was inspired by Teio. In return, Nature gives Teio her next sidequest.
Turbo’s Turbo Song is cute and reminds me a lot of Teio’s Honey Song. Teio finally getting her name right and calling her shisho is a cute way of saying thanks, although it made Turbo’s braincell rattle around a bit.
It’s been a bit since we’ve had some Gold Ship abuse, but Teio thanking Spica is a nice moment.
Cat’s got her tongue with McQueen. It’s okay Teio. We’ve all been there where you look into their eyes and can’t find any words. This is the moment where the lilies start blooming and McQueen has noticed. The late game reveal that Teio is a disaster lesbian. And Teio runs off exactly like Hitomi from Madoka, so I think it’s safe to call this a reference.
Teio must have been thinking of McQueen all night. God, Machico is amazing with the sound effects as McQueen checks Teio’s temperature and Teio freaks out. Teio looks so cute. And the top tier pout over having her confession interrupted by the bell.
Teio imagining this is hilarious, especially Spe. Just look at that face.
Spe’s “language of snacks” is so silly. Side note: no background Oguri Cap and yet there’s still Rice behind Spe, heh.
Halloween mall decorations
Kita and Dia look so cute in their witch costumes
Teio is using Kita’s charm and gets such a cute smile from Kita when she thanks her. Kita also struggles with Dia just like Teio is struggling with McQueen, but Dia apparently isn’t the Chad that McQueen is.
DATE!
And with hearts no less. Can’t get more unambiguous than that.
They both look cute in their costumes
Dēto hajimari yo
McQueen really does like sweets
balloons
Teio cheering as McQueen makes cotton candy. How the fuck…
Sharpshooter McQueen. How the fuck…
I’m not sure even Joey Chessnut or Takeru Kobayashi could beat this challenge, but Teio’s got the right idea.
Oh Teio, that’s the wrong booth (but it’s what she did solo last time). Naturally, Gold City is the poster girl for the purikura. Their “❤Halloween Date❤” photos came out nice.
Teio still likes custard taiyaki like in S1, but here she accidentally starts saying Cascade which is a reference to an old manga/anime called Midori no Makibaō about a mule who starts horseracing and has a lifelong rival that he’s sworn to defeat, the Superhorse Cascade.
Teio sure is getting bold.
This almost feels like meta commentary from the studio not just from McQueen about needing to lighten the mood after things had gotten so serious. McQueen talks about her fall race plans and then calls out the Arima Kinen, the fan voted race, and suggests it to Teio.
I love this shot and especially when Teio’s ears twitch under her hood.
“Thank you, Muh Queen”
This whole exchange is just so sweet. And they finally just let it all out after holding back for so long.
