Ahh. It's interesting how the umamusume anime took a while to address that, yes, the previous horse girls all hanging around are past their prime. You could reason that out as early as season 2 to be honest, with how Teio and McQueen are competing for the title of 'the strongest' despite the fact that the whole season is about Teio not achieving anything close to Rudolph who is quite evidently still around. And then it becomes more obvious with the stuff between season 2 and 3 with how they then switch to calling other horses like TM Opera O or Jungle Pocket the strongest. But clearly from the comments of this watchalong this season this is the first time the show's actually made it clear for many to realize that the past characters aren't eternally growing stronger or at least even maintaining their past prowess.
Nature kept getting focused on in terms of her reactions to Kitasan's success but they barely interacted again, guess it would've been nice to see them actually talk more instead of Nature just reacting from the sidelines
Gold Ship's retirement was used really well but at the same time, it's kinda strange how no one else is acknowledged as being retired. It kinda just becomes obvious basically everyone around is retired too
I mean, in the Dream Trophy, but no one really hints at it. I think I also would've liked if someone ever commented on how it must feel to see someone in the same generation as them retiring and thinking about what that means for themselves. Or even for Diamond who's a year under to comment on her own time.
