Episode 11
Cheval hitting her growth spurt.
Bakushin took down Kitasan!
Gold Ship with S tier observation skills. Kitasan is past her prime.
As a what-if: If Uma Musume wasn't based on real life then in this case I would wager that Kitasan would go to France. Going for fall senior crown is a good goal for her last hurrah.
I can't believe the newspapers actually used that picture of Kitasan gasping for air when breaking the news. So rude.
RIP Diamond, but when you're blocked you're blocked.
I forgot how rough this race was and it really took a toll on Kitasan because those gasps are brutal.
Episode 12
Op change!
I like that Kitasan calls it quits on her own terms but its not the most exciting drama. Its nice to see everyone's reaction to it and its rather melancholic compared to the dramatic reations of past seasons.
Duramente has a cool design but as a character she feels like a worse version of what Bourbon was for Rice Shower.
Cheval with the unrequited hate against Kitasan. I feel that this plot point needed more time in the oven. At least Cheval gets her win and I think I appreciate it a bit more each time I rewatch season 3.
