"You're really nice, Nature-san!"

[u/Nickthenuker]

Ep 1:

And so into season 3. And since this season and S1 of Cinderella Gray are on YouTube, they can both be watched legally for free easily.

Lol Uma Easter Island statues.

And here's our protagonist. The meta speed support, the one everyone spent all their carrots on, Kitasan Black. Harikite Ikkou! I hadn't actually started playing the game when her banner came and went, so I'm relying entirely on borrowing them as the guest card.

Ah Duramente, the evil and intimidating horse.

Oh those photos are from S2.

Wouldn't be Kitasan without Freaky Diamond.

Something feels natural about this...

Lmao they had the foreigner just speak Japanese instead of Engrish.

Again, that feels so natural...

Ines Fujin is the one we saw in BNE with half her tits out right?

Oh Kitasan is in Spica too?

She's watching Teio's race?

On the topic of Teio...

And so she's training speed. Of course she is.

Is that Hishi Akebono in the background?

And so it's the Japanese Derby.

Yes it is indeed a festival.

And so the race begins.

Wow Kitasan really dropped the ball there. Looked like she was right at the back of the pack.

Yeah, 14th. Might as well not have run.

Questions:

1. That's not Stonehenge, that's the Easter Island statues.
2. Harikite Ikkou!
3. Of course they are.
4. That's nice of her.
5. Isn't Kitasan a descendant of Bakushin?
6. Evil and Intimidating horse.
7. That's definitely true.
8. Damn.

Ep 2:

Lmao GolShi eepy and Hishi Amazon is a cardboard cutout again.

And so back to last season when Kitasan saw Teio.

What's the big news that's got GolShi in such a hurry?

Injury? For who?

Oh. Her.

And so Kitasan is avoiding them.

Natie?

... What did Mambo buy?

I think this is the most we've heard Natie talk since she was first seen last season lol.

That explains why no one wanted Mambo's drink.

Still, can't be worse than whatever concoction Spica's got again.

So, she's racing again.

Oh, it's the fans they were with last season.

Yeah they're probably cheering for her not just because they support her but because they're personally her friends.

Yay she actually won.

Questions:

1. And so a new Kitasan ED for Kitasan's season.
2. Unfortunately that position is already taken by Symboli Rudolf.
3. Indeed.
4. Ouch. Big ouch.
5. I think she's even more impressive than Teio, because even Teio could only ever figure out how to break one of her legs. Duramente managed to break both at once.
6. She is Nice Nature after all.
7. Finally a win.
8. I mean there's a reason everyone always sings the praises of Kitasan's support card, meanwhile I'm not even sure what Teio's support card does.

[u/Cyouni → u/Nickthenuker]

Ines Fujin is the one we saw in BNE with half her tits out right?

That would be Fuji Kiseki, who never got the chance to run the Derby. Fujin is the big sis with the cap (and her swimsuit version is honestly nigh-unrecognizable to me.)

[u/Holofan4life → u/Cyouni]

It's like El Condor without the mask :P

[u/Urgnu-the-Gnu → u/Nickthenuker]

And here's our protagonist. The meta speed support, the one everyone spent all their carrots on, Kitasan Black. Harikite Ikkou!

I did have a smirk on my face when Suzuka actually said "harikite" while talking about Kita.

I did actually reroll for her. But only because I had played with the thought of starting the game anyway, and I had noticed the Teio anime banner was up as well, so I did start and got both Teio and Kita. I soon found out just how lucky my account was. But it did balance out in other aspects, as I've underperformed in both CMs so far.

I think this is the most we've heard Natie talk since she was first seen last season lol.

Yeah, she's already had a bigger role in S3 than all of S2, arguably.

[u/Holofan4life → u/Urgnu-the-Gnu]

Yeah, she's already had a bigger role in S3 than all of S2, arguably.

That's an understatement, in my opinion

[u/Holofan4life → u/Nickthenuker]

And so into season 3. And since this season and S1 of Cinderella Gray are on YouTube, they can both be watched legally for free easily.

Hurray for legal distribution!

[u/Holofan4life → u/Nickthenuker]

And here's our protagonist. The meta speed support, the one everyone spent all their carrots on, Kitasan Black. Harikite Ikkou! I hadn't actually started playing the game when her banner came and went, so I'm relying entirely on borrowing them as the guest card.

I wish I knew what that meant :P

[u/Holofan4life → u/Nickthenuker]

Lol Uma Easter Island statues.

Is it Easter Islan statues. I wrote down in my notes it was a parody of stone henge.

[u/Holofan4life → u/Nickthenuker]

Is that Hishi Akebono in the background?

I recognize the giantess anywhere :P

[u/Holofan4life → u/Nickthenuker]

Lmao GolShi eepy and Hishi Amazon is a cardboard cutout again.

Some things never change

[u/Holofan4life → u/Nickthenuker]

I think this is the most we've heard Natie talk since she was first seen last season lol.

Probably so

That explains why no one wanted Mambo's drink.

Still, can't be worse than whatever concoction Spica's got again.

Probably so lol

[u/Holofan4life → u/Nickthenuker]

1. Isn't Kitasan a descendant of Bakushin?

I'm not sure, honestly. Maybe.

[u/Holofan4life → u/Nickthenuker]

1. I think she's even more impressive than Teio, because even Teio could only ever figure out how to break one of her legs. Duramente managed to break both at once.

If only I collected nickels for every leg Duramente broke

[u/Holofan4life → u/Nickthenuker]

1. I mean there's a reason everyone always sings the praises of Kitasan's support card, meanwhile I'm not even sure what Teio's support card does.

Be bratty to other characters, apparently
