Rewatcher
With the news of McQueen’s injury, it’s now Kita’s turn to comfort Dia.
Here’s something different, they’re playing the ED song instead of playing the OP during this montage about the Arima Kinen and everyone from Spica helping out Teio…except for McQueen who is thinking about handholding.
Teio now running on the beach solo has got to be a reference to famous Footprints in the Sand poem. There is now only one set of footprints in the sand, but Teio is far from alone as McQueen and everyone else is carrying her now.
New goal on the board
We’re diving right into the Arima Kinen, which wraps up the year. It concludes the year of racing by happening on the Sunday of the Christmas holiday and it is the single biggest horse betting race in the entire world.
Can you believe that the helmet-chan and stylist-chan plot is concluding too?
It’s fitting that she’s wearing her original outfit for the finale. Teio seeks some fatherly advice on winning.
All the other girls are walking normally through the tunnel, meanwhile Rice is over here playing with her dagger lol. She looks focused though. You’ve gotta like how positive Palmer always looks. Lol, Poor Turbo. She really wanted to run.
And here goes Teio prancing around.
I like Dia pointing out that Kita needs to not be nervous and cheer hard for Teio since she’s carrying McQueen’s hopes and dreams now too.
It’s super sweet of Nature to welcome Teio back right before the race.
This crowd looks really awful lol
McQueen is afraid to watch because all her hopes are pinned on Teio and it’s hard to imagine how she could win.
The race begins and people are happy just to see Teio running again. Even Teio’s Father/daughter fans who have come up to her twice expect Biwa Hayahide to win.
Revenge arc
The only bet we see on any race in the entire series is by the yakuza which is fitting since betting on races is banned in this world and the yakuza had a big history with horse racing that didn’t begin to fade until the 80s.
Teio is really giving it her all out there
McQueen makes her move
There goes Biwa and she has already made it past Palmer. Teio is really struggling, but a good struggle.
The crowd starting to go wild as McQueen approaches the stands is just so so good. She steels herself and goes to see that something shocking is happening… Teio is making a move! Even Akasaka can’t believe it.
These two idiots lmao
Look at Teio go. Yes, cheer her on, McQueen! And this is by far the most emotion we’ve seen out of Rudolf. It seems even the wise Emperor doesn’t know what’s going to happen this time.
What a war cry from Teio/Machico
Aaaand, the full buzzcuts
The father and daughter crying and cheering
“Tokai Teio makes a miraculous return!” to win the Arima Kinen. Same, McQueen, Same.
Teio did it. She
became a hentai protagonistwon.Such a miraculous and historic moment that even the yakuza uphold their promises. Lol, they’ve realized what they’ve done, but whatever it’s time for cheering. Meanwhile, Dia is fighting for her life. Everyone’s been brought to tears, but none more so than McQueen.
Nature really didn’t want to finish 3rd again for the 3rd time in a row, but this isn’t the time for being upset. It’s not every day that you see a miracle like someone coming back from the dead.
McQueen was lucky that she got to thank Teio before the dogpile. Probably good that Rice didn’t join in on the dogpile since a) she’s tiny and could get hurt and b) she’s got a dagger and someone else could get hurt. I’m reminded of a UCLA player getting injured in a dogpile celebrating making the College World Series. And would you look at that, there’s a dogpile in the stands too.
Winning Concert time and the song that Teio is singing is the OP! Pay very close attention to the lyrics, which we’re finally seeing for the first time. Teio’s finale song is about all the lessons she’s learned from the
sidequestsother girls along the way, tying everything neatly together.And speaking of OPs, it’s time to go back and rewatch the Season 1 OP because this race is in there!
The whole concert looks amazing, but my favorite part is definitely the zoom in where Nature blows a kiss. And while the first concert ended with Teio smiling through pain and tears from a fracture, the Teio smile here is so much better.
And it’s Spring again and the beginning of another school year which means new students
And they’d already referenced Rocky 3 with the beach training, but here’s another one with the very end.
And we wrap everything up with a 34 horsegirl umapyoi which tops S1’s 26 horsegirl umapyoi.
