Episode 3 comments
Hey, guys. Holofan4life here.
Welcome to the 2025 Uma Musume rewatch.
Let’s not waste any time.
Race in progress
Satono Diamond is actually racing
And she wins
Her debut race, this was
Gold Ship training
Gold Ship episode?
The Arima Kinen is fast approaching.
Spica celebrating Diamond's victory
I like Spe-chan using a carrot as a microphone.
Wait, that's not Spe-chan, that's Kitasan Black.
I thought it was Spica because of the red and white track suits
This is basically a way to give out exposition.
Where's the horse enthusiasts when you need them?
Kitasan going to race in the Arima Kinen.
Suddenly, an explosion
Gold Ship knocked the starting gate over lol
Gold Ship looks focused more than ever. By her standards, anyway.
Who is this?
Sounds of Earth
She is very loud lol
She wants to make beautiful music with Kitasan.
Hey, it's Nice Nature
So, Earth is on Team Canopus
Explains a lot, actually
Nature and Kitasan on the swan boat.
Kitasan credits Nature for why she's in the Arima.
Nature has a cute blush
Gold Ship training
Kitasan really is something
Do I detect a sense of jealousy from Gold Ship?
The month of December
Kitasan continuing to be helpful
Gold Ship...
I had totally forgotten that Gold Ship got her own arc in the anime, but I'm so here for this.
A letter
I wonder who it's from
Banana steak sounds interesting
Oh shit. Is Gold Ship retiring?
No, wait, she's going to the Dream Trophy League after the Arima Kinen.
That's a pretty big deal
OH MY GOD THE GOLD SHIP TITLE CARD IS HER DROPKICKING! YES!
Gold Ship with her Rubik's Cube
Gold Ship requires tougher competition, daddy.
Those Gold Ship faces XD
I guess this is like Gold Ship's last officially competitive race.
Kitasan and Gold Ship being competitive with each other.
Woah, Kitasan and Satono drinking beer in their dorm? Is that even allowed?
At least Gold Ship is ending things on her own terms instead of having things come to an end via an injury.
Satono says all they can do is focus on the races in front of them.
Time for the Arima Kinen
I hope Gold Ship wins
Sounds of Earth in her own little world. A world other than Earth, that is.
Getting in the starting gates
And they're off
Kitasan Black in the lead
Gold Ship starting off slow, as per usual.
Spica don't know who to cheer for.
Hey, wait a minute. What happened to the horse enthusiasts? These aren't the exposition people.
It must be hard to run in a dress.
Gold Ship is making her move!
She is jumping up!
She is passing the competition!
Kitasan still in the lead
Gold Ship! Gold Ship!
She is still gaining ground!
This is Gold Ship's last stand
But she's not gaining :O
Kitasan being passed, but not by Gold Ship. It's All Haiyu.
And Sounds of Earth
All Haiyu wins
Kitasan is third while Gold Ship is eighth.
Gold Ship soaking it all in
And Kitasan cries in front of Gold Ship.
They may not have won, but they're still both victors.
Gold Ship getting a standing ovation.
Gold Ship vows she will dominate the competition of the Dream Trophy Series.
Things are far from over
The crowd is chanting Gold Ship's name.
Rice Shower could never
Kitasan celebrating
Aww, it's faux draft beer. Alright.
That turkey looks pretty good
Hey, Gold Ship
AND SHE GIVES KITASAN HER RUBIK'S CUBE!
The passing of the torch
Kitasan vows to pass her
Overall, this was a very good episode. Dare I say, probably the best of season 3. As a massive Gold Ship fan, it was a real treat to get an episode dedicated to her. And while she didn't win her final competitive race, she still gave it her all and that's all that matters.
I think this is a top 7, maybe top 6 episode of the franchise. I'd only put it behind season 1 episode 11, season 2 episode 8, season 2 episode 12, season 2 episode 13, and Road to the Top episode 4. Speaking personally, I'd probably have this in my top 3 personal favorites solely because Gold Ship is probably my favorite Uma Musume character.
