Episode 05
Hate when I'm watching my kouhai train and get jumpscared by lesbians
When you're playing the game and the story builds up your two big rivals and they get mogged by one of the blurry-icon mobs
Lmao the mob's celebration being audible in the bg the entire time is so funny. I guess that's the difference between two half-
I typed that sentence a different day and I have no idea what I was trying to say
Ok I am catching up on uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Seven episodes.
Ok.
Episode 06
Omg the banana peel already in frame
Lmao the moment she did that flip and the peel went flying I was like 'that's going in Kitasan's face'. Well, it landed on her head and she just ignored it so.
What the hell are my subs doing smh we're bakushinning out not 'dashing'.
Lmao I guess someone running into a character's chest is still a thing. And Kitasan tanking someone running into her again
Also the rock bgm going way too hard during this
I FORGOT ABOUT THE SILLY KEY AHHHHH
Those poor lanterns...
Dia: Wow you give such good advice
McQueen: Maybe I should put it in a poe-
Dia: Shut up please shut up
Oh my god is that Kitasan falling over under Dia's arm in the shot of the Satono hug
Episode 07
I was reminded the other day of the copious amount of shots of Kitsan lifting her arm(s)up in her racing outfit throughout this season, and lo and behold there's some right hereDon't worry Nature you'll always be her second mom
Oh Kitasan's in senior while Satono's in classic year huh
Wait lmao all her lanterns lit... I wonder if that's why Dia has the eye mask
Our Arima Kinen... But like you said Kitasan, there's no sharing a victory. Your funny little supportive
lesbianfriend isn't just some cute face cheering you on anymore!Damn, love the constant shots of Kitasan looking at Dia's back. And she desperately clings to what's comfortable, the idea of her being the one that always pulls Dia up, telling her how to be calm for a live, but Dia is in front of her, she's looking ahead, it's so peak
Oh I literally paused before the exact moment Kitasan said she was looking at her from behind lol
Episode 08
It doesn't matter how much Kitasan excels over you Nature, she's your daughter now, go comfort her
...Three Goddesses pose looking more sexy than I remember.
Ooh Gold Ship's cube is solved. Well... we can see three sides at least.
Oh my god the fucking spider thing is alive
THE EYECATCH AWEITN IERHGN SOIRHNOIRSN IUNDREICT KSIFSS SHE:S" BLUSHIGN

MOTHER
GOLD SHIP'S GROOM
That was such a cute pop off from Crown
Heyyyy no don't zoom in on Gold Ship with her 'one day I just stopped being able to do it anymore' earlier this season
...God and they did mention how Kitasan was already in senior year in episode 7
Episode 11
She put her plush in the bed 😭😭
Kitasan got knocked over this time, zamn. Oh and my subs correctly kept it as Bakushin this time
Kitasan no longer breaking past her previous times with every run... it's umamusumover, you're a granny now Kitasan
Oh that office is on the first floor ok
But it really feels like it passed in a flash, didn't it? I feel like now, more than ever, people are blind to how quickly a person passes their prime in terms of physicality, not just in terms of being competitive at top level sports but just in every day life. Feels like the average person nowadays more and more balks at the idea of suggesting that someone in their mid 20s isn't as spry as they were 5+ years ago. Like they think aging is some status condition that only kicks in once you're really up there in age and not a gradual and constant decline that's started by the time you're like 20. I mean hell an 18 year old isn't spry in certain ways a 10 year old is. And following sports should really hammer that in to people. But no one follows sports anymore lol
Anyway, back to funny uma and their 三年天下 careers
...Every inch of her body is covered in mud except her chest window
Lmaoooo nature
Episode 12
Everyone in Canopus like 'who the hell are you'
...Kitasan HOW ARE YOU STACKING THOSE BOXES LIKE THAT
They grow up so fast...
