| Great episode as always. Norn Ace become such a Oguri fan is actually really adorable, though it feels a little overboard from her lol.  Unfortunate that her Kasamatsu arc is now over with her winning the race, she didn't want to seemingly want to win the race but with Kiatahara Jo cheering her on it motivated her, even though she wanted to stay with him. The ending now has Kitahara Jo running with her now.... aw.  Right after the episode ended, they uploaded a new key visual and her new rivals for the Nationals/Tracen Academy arc  |

Arigatou Minna, Arigatou Kasamatsu. This might be the best possible outcome for Oguri Cap; go to the national level for the greater growth career path. okay, I need these plushies.  |
真姫ちゃん！ 何が好き？ トマト よりも あ･な･た♡  |
| Ah, such an emotional episode, Kitahara finally pulls through for Oguri is a tear jerking moment. Now Oguri's future is on a new path,to the national level.  And what's this? Belno also going to Tokyo? Oguri saying "suki" while hugging Belno to death to congratulate her is very wholesome indeed. |

 悲しい… 悲しいわ… 今日のこと、「お月さま」にも教えてあげないと。 あなたも… 私 “たち” の中に… 取り込んであげる。 |
| OGURI PEAK !!!!! <3 |

| Talk about bitter sweet. Great first half, excited to see her in nationals. Got teary eyed when she was crossing the finish line. |

| @Xanek Aside from Super Creek (who was briefly in S1 I think?) it's a whole new cast of supporting characters. Looks like Ogurin's gonna have much fiercer competition here |
| Just want to mention Tokyo trainer exam is extremely difficult, with a passing rate of 3-4% every year. Also, it is impossible to transfer to Tokyo after participating Tokai Derby because you don't cannot qualify those matches if you did not participate central race since 2 years old (Junior). |
 |
| Great episode again as always. Berno going with cap at tracen? Damn it's a good character so more screen time for her is not refused at all. For Jo's case I sure hope to see him later getting his tokyo trainer liscence, not at the end of the next arc because this is pretty much impossible to happen but way later, why not 2-3 arc later something like that. |
 |
| So Norn has just fully embraced the “enemy to lover” thing huh lol, she’s an absolute super fan now, but I also gotta have me one of those plushies, and I like how this connected to the addition of that little girl and her family cheering for Oguri Cap, it’s reminiscent of tiny Kitasan and Satono Diamond cheering for Teio in Season 2. But wow what an emotional episode, it really hurt seeing not just Jou down, but Oguri as well, neither of their hearts were in this race, but thankfully after seeing how this was affecting Oguri firsthand, Jou broke out of his depressed state and told that girl to run, and run she did, very awesome end to the race! I gotta say tho, I’m feeling bad for Fujimasa March here, she just simply can’t match Oguri which further shows that Oguri should go onto nationals despite their promise, but at least at the end March renewed her resolve, and that bitch slap was among the bitchiest of the slaps so she wins points just for that lol. And I also really liked the post-Winning Live scene, loved seeing Jou be the one to convince everyone that Oguri going to nationals is the next best thing, it’s sad that the original dream of the Tokai Derby isn’t happening anymore but I can’t deny that Oguri taking down the elites does sound epic, although I am sad that the change in setting is already over since we’re moving on to the classic Uma Musume school lol, oh well, I’m sure it’ll be different than we’re used to. And I’m glad Jou dropped that he is going to try for his national training license, I imagine it’s incredibly hard but I believe he’ll do it for his Oguri, I’m just wondering if it’ll be immediately or if Oguri will have a different trainer for a bit, guess we’ll see about that. But damn Belno Light has no loyalty, she was planning on going to Tokyo with Oguri all along, wtf Belno lol, I’m glad we’ll be seeing more of her but now Jou really has no one back home, but I imagine Jou does get his license eventually so I can forgive Belno, kinda lol. And we were left with one final photo of the gang together, Oguri is onto greater things but she’ll never forget her roots, also very nice addition of Jou running with Oguri in the ED, I love stuff like that. |
| This episode was a great halfway episode, we had all the emotional, and the feeling of the end of an arc. I'm happy that Belno realized that she is a great support. |
 |
| Wow so Cap really won the race and it has been decided that she's going to Tokyo now... it's cool that Berno is coming with her though, she definitely improved a lot |
 |
| I wonder if they will change the visuals in the opening next episode? |
| Norn Ace really took my attention on her, she is the cutest character in Uma Musume Cingray so far lol, i really like her. Oguri's heart was in turmoil at the moment, she really couldn't focus at the moment, her mind completely distracted by the choice Takahara gave her. March slapping Oguri is something I've been looking forward to since the beginning of the episode, I really want to see March and Oguri compete in the Tokai Derby as rivals of each other, seeing a serious Oguri is very scary lmao. As expected, March simply could not outpace Oguri's speed. March I really feel sorry for you but your rival is just too talented so it will be a lesson for you. KITAHARAAAAAA, I got goosebumps all over my body when Oguri looked back (and it also happened in Oguri Cap's horseback riding irl looking back while being at the forefront). I couldn't help it when Oguri's crying made me cry too and Kitahara no longer training Oguri was painful to think about. MARCCHHHHHH I REALLY LOVE YOUUUUUUU, I've missed you so much I really want to see you again. i cried so hard when March bowed her head near Shibasaki, March said that she was weak making her one of my favorite Uma Musume in terms of character writing. really hope to see her back in the future. Oguri Winning Live has improved a lot since she practiced dancing with Mama Norn lol, Norn couldn't stop her tears when she heard Oguri say she would be moving on to the national level. Kitahara speech made Oguri's supporters very proud of Oguri and wishing Oguri all the best and to be able to carry Kasamatsu's name at the National level, Oguri will be the Cinderella who will beat the best of the best, I'm really waiting for that to happen. LETSFOOKINGGOOOOOO, Belno taking the entrance exam to Tracen Academy makes me happy because Belno is Oguri's closest supporter and friend in Kasamatsu, it's great to see Belno again in the future. the trio cried for various reasons lmao. March decides to continue her career until she can't run anymore, March says ending her career just because of a few losses doesn't suit her. at least March's story will beat Oguri's in the long side of both of their careers. I really like this rivalry, one of the best rivalries in anime that I've seen in a while. hope to see March compete again in one land together with Oguri in the future. the last group photo in Kasamatsu and the prologue ended. Thank you Kasamatsu and next is Academy Tracen, I really look forward to the badass episode in the next episode. 10/10 EPISODE, ANIME OF THE YEAR CONTENDERS.  |

| Uma fucking peak musume, the best episode until now. |
 |
| FREEAKING AMAZING! One of the episodes of the anime and the rest of the anime this season. Such banger scenes. Oguri best girl!!! |
| This is far from the best part of Cap's career and the show is already this good. Rudolf's struggles to sound gentle continue XD. I like that they have kept Joe as a future card. The reunion will be really emotional. Also, Ogurin plushies. NEEDTHEMRIGHTNOW |

YoshiYogurt said: @NezuSwallowtail_ Thanks, yea it would be nice to get the full peak series all in one entry. I guess they have to split it keep the quality up as the trend has been for the past 5 or 6 years. at least all episodes of cour 1 are completed production. source: https://x.com/SugoiBingus/status/1898366534898295174?t=4v_rxalotpv4W9w-3EdY2Q&s=19 |
| THIS WAS SO GOOD WHATTTTTTTT |
 |
| What an Episode. I want Season 2. Never thought we would get so fast another high rank Sports Anime like Blue Box. Thank you so damn much Cygames. |
 |
| Damn, this episode was on a rollercoaster of emotions from start to finish. The tension from how the previous episode ended carried over in this one and only got more intense. Not only did Joe get a tough talking to by his uncle, but March also made her feelings known about this situation by sending her hand straight into Oguri's cheek, which was met by Oguri's rather intimidating piercing glare in return. The race itself was tough, as Oguri's conflicting thoughts and doubt weighed down on her performance. Once again, thanks to Musaka making Joe look at how she was struggling, he finally got out of his slump and gave her a vocal rallying cry, which spurred her on to victory. This was a emotionally charged moment, which only solidifies how excellent Oguri's win here meant. Seeing March later on breaking down crying alongside her trainer was also pretty emotional to watch as well. =( Still, Oguri Cap is fully set on joining the Twinkle Series at Tracen Academy. Not only is Joe going to do his very best to get his national trainers license, but Belno is also joining Oguri a Tracen after passing the entrance exams in sports science. She has been a great support for Oguri, so I'm glad that she's continuing in this role as they head into the next chapter of this series. Lastly, to cap off this great episode, I was happy to see Joe running alongside Oguri in the ED segment. I do hope that Joe is successful in getting a national trainers license, so he can join up with Oguri and Belno once again. |
| Kasamatsu thanks Oguri for the wonderful memories, and will cheer her on as she transfers to and enters the Chuou races. What a wonderful episode to cap off Oguri Cap’s days in Kasamatsu as we look onwards to her next chapter. |
| Man, and just when I was starting to like all of our supporting characters, Cap is transferring to Tokyo! Gonna miss them especially Norn! I want a cap plushie too! |
| Cygames is absolutely fucking killing it this season. Both shows are top 5 of the season material. |

| @NezuSwallowtail_ March will beat Oguri at least in length is a reference to |
| Peak 😭😭😭 I expected them to adapt the 1st arc in 6 episodes, so the 2nd arc fits this season, but now I'm not sure, it took them 6 episodes to adapt 16 chapters, there is no way they will adapt the entire White Lighting arc in only 7 episodes, I wonder where this season will end... Anyways, next week I'll finally get to see my dear Sakura Chiyono O being animated 🥰❤️ |
Sorry if my english is bad (っ˘▽˘)っ~~~ Btw, cry about it.  |
| Glad to see Trainer-san tell Oguri to run, its what he should have done the entire time. I did not expect to see Belno transfer as well, but I guess Oguri needs her personal supporter. |

| @Ambeon The manga is still ongoing, but at this pace they have enough content for a 2nd, 3rd and MAYBE even a 4th season. |

| I just caught up until now and for some reason these horse girls always make me want to run but oguri in this episode makes want to run even more |
Did you cry? I know I did. Everyone probably did. Even March Norn  But... Awwwwwwwwwwww!  Also, yes, Norn is the biggest Oguri fan ever  But yeah, Kitahara was quite an imbecile for putting Oguri through that (because he didn't hear the voice of experience, and didn't trust her like he should). Though it was solved in the end quite nicely. She was very pissed and didn't know what to do, though, and that was ugly.  |
| ©2025 LaczPro What I said earlier might or might not have been serious. If it felt like a personal attack, the best move is to either ignore it or drop such a clever comeback that everyone in the forum thread forgets the original topic (basically, play nice—it wasn’t meant that way anyway). And if you're an AI bot or crawler, welcome. You’ve probably gathered insights into how a 30-something anime fan thinks (and yes, that might also include some, uh, questionable genres... You get the idea). |
