1. BIRTH OF A BEAST!
Calling a lady a beast is beyond rude...
Copy !req
2. Have some tact, Four-Eyes.
Copy !req
3. SAKURA CHIYONO O, OUR DERBY CHAMPION
It's been
Copy !req
4. two weeks since the Derby...
Copy !req
5. Good!
Copy !req
6. Oguri's her usual self on the outside...
Copy !req
7. However, I can tell she's frustrated.
Copy !req
8. First the Tokai Derby,
and now the Japanese Derby.
Copy !req
9. That's two goals now
that escaped her grasp.
Copy !req
10. She can grin and bear it now,
but for how long?
Copy !req
11. We need a new goal to aim for...
Copy !req
12. We're all done with training!
Copy !req
13. Yo, Beast.
Copy !req
14. Yo, Beast.
Ever heard of delicacy?
Copy !req
15. Ever heard of delicacy?
Copy !req
16. UMAMUSUME
Copy !req
17. CINDERELLA GRAY
Copy !req
18. EPIDOSE 10
THE PEAK
Copy !req
19. WELCOME TO HANSHIN RACECOURSE!
Since you're not registered for the Classics,
the Kikuka Sho is out of reach.
Copy !req
20. Instead, we're going to pit you
against your seniors in addition to your peers.
Copy !req
21. That's fine. A beast can handle it.
Copy !req
22. That's fine. A beast can handle it.
Well, at least she likes the name...
Copy !req
23. Well, at least she likes the name...
Copy !req
24. Many of your seniors
will be in the race held here today.
Copy !req
25. A prestigious grand prix race
where the lineup is decided by fan vote.
Copy !req
26. The G1 Takarazuka Kinen.
Copy !req
27. Nothing gets you in the fighting spirit...
Copy !req
28. like seeing the peak of racing.
Copy !req
29. Akitsu Teio... I knew she'd be the fave!
Copy !req
30. "The Mile Monarch..."
That's what they call her, right?
Copy !req
31. She's the top racer in both mile and mid-distance.
Copy !req
32. She's also won three G1 races.
Copy !req
33. Oh, wow... three G1 wins?
Copy !req
34. Sounds like the
Takarazuka Kinen's 'bout to get good!
Copy !req
35. Apologies for the wait.
Copy !req
36. Hey—huh?
Weren't you s'posed to bring Oguri?
Copy !req
37. About that—it turns out her trainer
is taking her to see the race in person...
Copy !req
38. But she gave me these Kawara rice crackers
to share with everyone.
Copy !req
39. 500 crackers' worth...
Copy !req
40. She's expecting us
to eat a hundred each, huh?
Copy !req
41. Oh, hey, it's starting.
Copy !req
42. Ah, Oguri, look!
Copy !req
43. That's Akitsu Teio, one of our seniors!
Copy !req
44. Her aura's even more intense in person.
Copy !req
45. G1 TAKARAZUKA KINEN
Copy !req
46. HANSHIN RACECOURSE
TURF / 2,200 M / SUNNY / FIRM
Copy !req
47. G1 TAKARAZUKA KINEN
Copy !req
48. Now, with all our racers in their gates,
Copy !req
49. the Takarazuka Kinen...
Copy !req
50. begins!
Copy !req
51. A clean start for all thirteen racers!
Copy !req
52. First to emerge is Miss Lady,
Copy !req
53. with the rest of the pack
following close behind!
Copy !req
54. But Akitsu Teio pulls ahead
right from the center of the pack!
Copy !req
55. Passing Shirogane Karma,
she quickly takes the lead.
Copy !req
56. She's in the lead already?
Copy !req
57. Her front running is the reason
they call her the Monarch.
Copy !req
58. She won last year's fall Tenno Sho
and Mile Championship by five whole lengths.
Copy !req
59. RECORD
She also won the mid-distance
Hakodate Kinen in record time.
Copy !req
60. And someday we're gonna have
to fight monsters like her...
Copy !req
61. Sounds like the real fight
starts after the Classics.
Copy !req
62. The pack has left the third corner
and is headed into the fourth!
Copy !req
63. With 800 meters remaining,
Akitsu Teio is still in the lead!
Copy !req
64. Right behind her is Shirogane Karma
in furious pursuit!
Copy !req
65. One length from her on the inside
is Dainana Emperor!
Copy !req
66. From the outside, it's Miss Lady,
Hasebe Flame, and Long Live Free!
Copy !req
67. There's more where that came from!
Copy !req
68. She sped up?
Copy !req
69. She's really going to front run
the whole 2,200 meters?
Copy !req
70. There it is!
Copy !req
71. This race is mi—
Copy !req
72. What was that
Copy !req
73. streak of white...
Copy !req
74. Tamamo Cross takes the lead!
Copy !req
75. Tamamo Cross crosses the finish line!
Copy !req
76. The winner of the Takarazuka Kinen is
Copy !req
77. Tamamo Cross!
Copy !req
78. Her winning streak
is now seven strong!
Copy !req
79. This is the strength
of the Tenno Sho champion!
Copy !req
80. Well, well, didn't think I'd see you here...
Copy !req
81. Oguri Cap.
Copy !req
82. Somebody... say something.
Copy !req
83. What's there to say?
Copy !req
84. As you can see,
Copy !req
85. the strongest racer in the nationals...
Copy !req
86. is her.
Copy !req
87. Tamamo Cross,
Copy !req
88. winner of the 3,200-meter
G1 spring Tenno Sho.
Copy !req
89. Her record was
nothing to write home about after her debut
Copy !req
90. but she started making a name
for herself last fall
Copy !req
91. and is now on a seven-win streak.
Copy !req
92. Her mid-distance record is nothing
compared to the Mile Monarch Akitsu Teio
Copy !req
93. so fans assumed she'd lose this race,
and she only took second in the polls.
Copy !req
94. so fans assumed she'd lose this race,
and she only took second in the polls.
But as you can see,
they were sorely mistaken.
Copy !req
95. But as you can see,
they were sorely mistaken.
Copy !req
96. You'll be racing her in no time,
so remember...
Copy !req
97. this is what the peak looks like.
Copy !req
98. The peak, huh...
Copy !req
99. Oguri, are you there?
Copy !req
100. Yeah.
Copy !req
101. You've got a phone call!
Copy !req
102. Hello?
Copy !req
103. It's been a while...
Copy !req
104. Oguri.
Copy !req
105. March!
Copy !req
106. Ha, someone's cheerful.
Copy !req
107. And why wouldn't you be?
I've seen your races.
Copy !req
108. The days we raced each other
feel so far away now.
Copy !req
109. Well, I feel like it was only yesterday!
Copy !req
110. So how are you? Any recent wins?
Copy !req
111. Don't get too excited now.
Copy !req
112. I got into the Tokai Derby!
Copy !req
113. And how did you do?
Copy !req
114. Naturally, I got first!
Copy !req
115. Wow!
Copy !req
116. Well... I wish I could say that.
Copy !req
117. I only got fourth...
Copy !req
118. Funny, isn't it?
Copy !req
119. I called myself your rival,
but I only got fourth...
Copy !req
120. It's just so... frustrating.
Copy !req
121. In all honesty, I feel like giving up.
Copy !req
122. You can't do that!
Copy !req
123. You're supposed to race
longer than me, aren't you?
Copy !req
124. So you can't quit!
Copy !req
125. Sure, you lost the Tokai Derby,
and um... I mean, that does suck...
Copy !req
126. FAIL / FAIL
B-but if you give up now,
you'd basically be letting me win!
Copy !req
127. So, well... right!
You just need to try harder next time!
Copy !req
128. Haha!
Copy !req
129. Unbelievable.
Copy !req
130. Are you trying to make me feel better?
Copy !req
131. Well, don't worry...
Copy !req
132. I'm fine.
Copy !req
133. My goal may have passed me by,
but my journey continues.
Copy !req
134. Once you've passed one mountain,
you move onto the next one.
Copy !req
135. My last race with you taught me that.
Copy !req
136. So...
Copy !req
137. what mountain are you
setting your sights on next?
Copy !req
138. I don't know.
Copy !req
139. The Tokai Derby, the Japanese Derby...
Copy !req
140. Everyone told me they're the best races,
so that's what I aimed for.
Copy !req
141. But...
Copy !req
142. now that those races are over,
Copy !req
143. how do I know what race is the best?
Copy !req
144. What, that's it?
Copy !req
145. Then your solution is simple.
Copy !req
146. You just need to make
any race you run the best race.
Copy !req
147. Become the best in Japan, Oguri Cap.
Copy !req
148. The best in Japan...
Copy !req
149. Ah, March!
Copy !req
150. Ah, March!
Don't tell me,
are you on the phone with Oguri?
Copy !req
151. Don't tell me,
are you on the phone with Oguri?
Copy !req
152. What, really?
Copy !req
153. Don't hog her all for yourself!
Copy !req
154. Ah... sorry, trouble's headed your way.
Copy !req
155. Oguri! It's been forever! It's Norn!
Copy !req
156. Wha—hey!
Copy !req
157. Hi, hi! It's Mini! You haven't forgotten
'bout li'l ol' me, have you?
Copy !req
158. Um, this is Rudy!
Copy !req
159. Hey! I'm on the phone here! Butt out!
Copy !req
160. Like you can talk.
Copy !req
161. Ah, sorry 'bout that.
Copy !req
162. Anyway, how are you? You doing good?
Copy !req
163. Yeah, I am now.
Copy !req
164. From the outside it's Oguri Cap!
Copy !req
165. With the finish line in sight, she blasts off!
She passes End Dragon!
Copy !req
166. Oguri Cap crosses the finish line!
Copy !req
167. CHUKYO RECECOURSE
TURF / 2,000 M / SUNNY / FIRM
This makes five graded wins in a row!
Copy !req
168. First place at the Takamatsunomiya Hai is
Copy !req
169. Oguri Cap!
Copy !req
170. G2 TAKAMATSUNOMIYA HAI
Copy !req
171. RECORD TIME
With a time of 1:59.0,
Copy !req
172. she's set a new record!
Copy !req
173. I'll beat Tamamo Cross...
Copy !req
174. I'll beat Tamamo Cross...
and become the best in Japan!
Copy !req
175. and become the best in Japan!
Copy !req
176. Firm track? Fine.
Heavy track? No problem.
Copy !req
177. She's completely comfortable on tracks
from 1,600 to 2,000-meter races.
Copy !req
178. Hanshin, Kyoto, Tokyo, and Chukyo...
Copy !req
179. She's raced on all four, and is in the middle
of a five-win streak. All graded.
Copy !req
180. Oguri Cap... She's one to look out for.
Copy !req
181. Whatcha worryin' for, Komi?
Ya think I'm gonna lose to a newbie?
Copy !req
182. Huh? N-no way! Of course not!
Copy !req
183. If anyone knows
how strong you are, it's me!
Copy !req
184. Haha, I'm only kiddin'!
Copy !req
185. So...
Copy !req
186. when do you think I'll be racin' her?
Copy !req
187. Hmm... let's see.
Copy !req
188. Knowing Musaka... I'd say
Copy !req
189. this fall.
Copy !req
190. A'ight,
Copy !req
191. can't wait to take her on.
Copy !req
192. Of course...
Copy !req
193. The winner's gonna be me!
Copy !req
194. What are we doing today, Roppei?
Copy !req
195. It's Musaka.
Copy !req
196. Looks like Oguri's super energized.
Copy !req
197. With summer here,
we'll be changing up our regimen.
Copy !req
198. I've even crafted
a special summer schedule.
Copy !req
199. A special schedule?
What kind of training are we doing?
Copy !req
200. First up is...
Copy !req
201. Is...
Copy !req
202. Absolutely... nothing.
Copy !req
203. Nothing?
Copy !req
204. Right. Starting today,
you're on summer vacation.
Copy !req
205. Summer vacation?
Copy !req
206. You've been racing nonstop
since coming to the capital.
Copy !req
207. That fatigue will come back to bite us
if we're not careful.
Copy !req
208. Rest is vital, so consider this
an important part of your training.
Copy !req
209. My training...
Copy !req
210. If you want to challenge the peak of racing,
Copy !req
211. you should rest while you can.
Copy !req
212. Yeah, in class we learned that rest days
condition your body for growth.
Copy !req
213. It takes a well-rested mind and body
in order to really maximize training results!
Copy !req
214. I see.
Copy !req
215. Conditioner must be important.
Copy !req
216. Conditioning.
Copy !req
217. You've come all the way to Tokyo,
Copy !req
218. so you might as well do some sightseeing.
Copy !req
219. Okay, looking good.
Just put these on and...
Copy !req
220. Yup. Perfect! Now I'm sure
nobody will recognize you!
Copy !req
221. I don't think this is necessary...
Copy !req
222. I don't think this is necessary...
Are you kidding?
Copy !req
223. Are you kidding?
Copy !req
224. Are you kidding?
Of course it is.
You're a celebrity now, Oguri.
Copy !req
225. Of course it is.
You're a celebrity now, Oguri.
Copy !req
226. You've gotta go incognito,
or we're in trouble!
Copy !req
227. A celebrity...
Copy !req
228. Since you've been working so hard,
Copy !req
229. today we'll do whatever you want!
Copy !req
230. Runni—
Copy !req
231. Other than that.
Copy !req
232. Isn't there any place you want to go?
Copy !req
233. Hm...
Copy !req
234. Ah.
Copy !req
235. Well, we made it...
Copy !req
236. Harajuku!
Copy !req
237. By the way, why Harajuku?
Copy !req
238. Hm?
Copy !req
239. Well, Norn said...
Copy !req
240. You can't go to Tokyo
without visiting Harajuku!
Copy !req
241. So...
Copy !req
242. That makes sense.
Copy !req
243. I still can't believe how many shops
and people there are here...
Copy !req
244. For now, let's grab some lunch!
What do you wanna eat?
Copy !req
245. Everything.
Copy !req
246. Huh?
Copy !req
247. Everything.
Copy !req
248. NOM / NOM
Copy !req
249. Oof... I-I overdid it...
Everything really is bigger in the city.
Copy !req
250. Nothing but weird shapes,
but at least those shapes were tasty.
Copy !req
251. Speaking of overdoing it...
Copy !req
252. Looks like disguising you was pointless.
We ended up standing out anyway.
Copy !req
253. You're right.
Copy !req
254. I wonder why...
Copy !req
255. Is this the "rizz"
Norn keeps telling me about?
Copy !req
256. I don't think that's what she had in mind...
Copy !req
257. What's all the hubbub about?
Some celebrity here or somethin'?
Copy !req
258. Huh?
Copy !req
259. What's up?
Copy !req
260. Huh? Wait here a sec!
Copy !req
261. Um...
Copy !req
262. Excuse me?
Copy !req
263. That breeze feels so good...
Copy !req
264. This place is great.
Copy !req
265. We should come back
with my classmates sometime.
Copy !req
266. Right, you couldn't watch
the Takarazuka Kinen with them.
Copy !req
267. I hope I gave them enough rice crackers...
Copy !req
268. Oh, did you hear that God Hannibal
got stuck in the stump yesterday?
Copy !req
269. Again?
Copy !req
270. By the way, what's your next race again?
Copy !req
271. The Mainichi Okan, right?
Copy !req
272. Bingo!
Copy !req
273. I knew it'd be the Mainichi Okan!
Copy !req
274. Ah! Four-Eyes!
Copy !req
275. Who?
Copy !req
276. I think this is the first time we've met!
Copy !req
277. The name's Sensuke Fujii!
I'm a reporter!
Copy !req
278. I've written a few articles about you,
Copy !req
279. but meetin' you in person is such an honor!
Copy !req
280. Um, please leave us alone!
We're trying to enjoy our vaca—
Copy !req
281. Oho!
Copy !req
282. And you must be Belno Light!
I've heard great things about you too!
Copy !req
283. Am I about to witness a murder?
Copy !req
284. So the Mainichi Okan
after the Takamatsunomiya Hai, eh...
Copy !req
285. That must mean the fall Tenno Sho's
gonna be your first G1.
Copy !req
286. So I'm right! That ol' Musaka.
He sure is easy to read!
Copy !req
287. Just so you know,
Copy !req
288. word is Tamamo Cross
will also be at the fall Tenno Sho.
Copy !req
289. Tamamo Cross...
Copy !req
290. That reaction...
So she's gunnin' for Tamamo Cross after all.
Copy !req
291. Man... losing the Mainichi Okan
would make me pretty salty if I were you.
Copy !req
292. I can just imagine Tamamo Cross
laughin' her butt off at you.
Copy !req
293. Salty? I suppose I should watch
my sodium intake.
Copy !req
294. Huh? No, not that kinda salty.
Copy !req
295. Anyway! How's about I tell ya a secret?
Copy !req
296. Do I want to know
where you were hiding that?
Copy !req
297. Like the Takamatsunomiya Hai,
the Mainichi Okan's a G2 race,
Copy !req
298. but don't let that fool ya.
Copy !req
299. This year's lineup is
absolutely packed with powerhouses!
Copy !req
300. Wait, Oguri...
Copy !req
301. The Derby champ returning from Europe
Copy !req
302. known as the pioneer of pioneers,
Sirius Symboli!
Copy !req
303. Then there's the second-place racer
of the Yasuda Kinen with two G2 wins this year.
Copy !req
304. The lady of the stage,
Copy !req
305. Dynam Heroine.
Copy !req
306. Those two are G1 class racers,
so you better watch out!
Copy !req
307. Here, take my card.
Copy !req
308. If ya ever want more info,
just gimme a holler!
Copy !req
309. See ya later!
Copy !req
310. Huh? Ai? Where are you?
Copy !req
311. So,
Copy !req
312. Oguri... What do you want to do now?
Copy !req
313. I wanna run!
Copy !req
314. I thought so!
Copy !req
315. That was one short summer vacation, huh?
Copy !req
316. Yeah, but...
Copy !req
317. I had a lot of fun today.
All thanks to you, Belno.
Copy !req
318. Oguri...
Copy !req
319. Yeah, I had fun too!
Copy !req
320. Will you help me practice
when we get back?
Copy !req
321. Of course!
Copy !req
322. Where the heck did she disappear to...
Copy !req
323. Ah, Ai?
Copy !req
324. LOSE MY NUMBER, CREEP
Ah...
Copy !req
325. The G2 Mainichi Okan.
Copy !req
326. Racers aiming for the Tenno Sho
aren't the only ones here.
Copy !req
327. This race attracts all sorts of runners
with aptitudes from mile to mid-distance.
Copy !req
328. After all, it's known
as a precursor to the fall G1 races.
Copy !req
329. Sometimes this race is even called a Super G2
Copy !req
330. due to the lineup occasionally pushing it
past a G1 race in prestige.
Copy !req
331. I see. You sure know a lot, Belno.
Copy !req
332. Ehehe, you can thank my classes for that.
Copy !req
333. I'm just glad it's coming in handy.
Copy !req
334. Belno...
Copy !req
335. Hey, I'm coming in. You all rea—huh?
Copy !req
336. Hey, I'm coming in. You all rea—huh?
O-O... Oguri!
Copy !req
337. O-O... Oguri!
Copy !req
338. O-O... Oguri!
The hell are you two doing?
Copy !req
339. The hell are you two doing?
Copy !req
340. Ah, Roppei.
Copy !req
341. It's Musaka.
Copy !req
342. Urgh... You've definitely gotten stronger...
Copy !req
343. All ready?
Copy !req
344. 中央初戦の
Copy !req
345. Other than the Pegasus Stakes,
this is your first race after a break.
Copy !req
346. We ran plenty over the summer,
so we're ready as ever!
Copy !req
347. Yeah, I feel fully charged.
Copy !req
348. Good, 'cause this is the race that'll prep us
for the fall Tenno Sho and Tamamo Cross.
Copy !req
349. Let me be clear—
Copy !req
350. I'm not just looking for
a good performance.
Copy !req
351. If you want to run in the Tenno Sho,
you have to win!
