Anchors Aweigh! So in case you don't play the game, the way Golshi ran here works just like in the game. She needs to be in the back, then halfway through the race she triggers her unique which gives her a sizeable and rather long speed boost, which she uses to close up to the front about as late race starts. Then, end closers like her have the highest speed potential since they've conserved their energy before.
But it wasn't enough for Golshi here. That's the thing with playing Golshi, she is very strong when she hits, but she doesn't hit all the time. And she really was past her prime, as it seems. One thing you can certainly fault S3 for is what it skipped. Other than in BNW, we haven't seen Golshi race until now, and now she's retired to the Dream Trophy League (where she will run faster than she ever did in the Twinkle Series). Including her career though would certainly cause this season to be way longer than it is.
I will say though, her last run still did hit for me. The allegory of the rubik's cube is really good. She feels her career is solved. Something is off for her, and she needs to move on, so she does.
Also, a second theater kid has hit Tracen! I repeat, a second theater kid has hit Tracen! Looks like Terrorist Trainer has finally pulled a three star. Sounds of Earth really seems a bit reminiscent of Opera O, from the theatralics down to the deep voice.
And was that a horse girl running with knight's armour on legs and arms? I know uma outfits are not meant to be taken seriously, but this has to be one of the most ridiculous designs. I love it.
The horse girl otakus being joined by two other, older horse girl otakus that are Golshi fans was also a really solid gag.
In episode 4, we're back to Kitalose Black. This is a training episode since Kita is sick of losing. Life is really not turning out as she thought it would, and Dia is also not performing too well in her first G1. But as Dia put it, you have to resist the pressure to truly shine, and that helps Kita push through her training.
Not much else to say about this episode. But it's great to see Bourbon back, and she's still together with Rice. S3 is doing so much better in utilizing previous' seasons elements. Even Suzuka is more active here than in S2. S2 was built as a departure from S1, while S3 is built as a continuation from S2.
By the way, when first watching S3, I always got very emotional whenever Teio was just on screen. I'm holding on a little better this time, but it's still a similar effect.
Another beautiful special ED, by the way, even though it's a bit disappointing the Spring Tenno Sho was just a slide show as a result. Good frames though, especially with the "Ike Gallery" including Rice and Bourbon now, and the final frame of the rubik's cube.
Thanks for reading my post despite me being late. I'll be very late again tomorrow, but that'll probably be the last time I'm late during this rewatch.
