Copy !req
21. She'll race ahead

Copy !req

Copy !req
23. The autumn Tenno Sho begins now!
Copy !req
24. There's only one thing I have to do...
Copy !req
25. And that's to run my heart out,
leaving everyone in my dust!
Copy !req
26. They don't call her
Lord Front Runner for noth—
Copy !req
27. Huh?
Copy !req
28. Tamamo Cross?
Copy !req
29. WHAAAAAAAT?
Copy !req
30. Tamamo Cross
is currently in second place!
Copy !req
31. She's positioned herself
towards the front!
Copy !req
32. Huh?
Copy !req
33. Why's everyone so shocked?
Copy !req
34. Tamamo Cross is usually an end closer!
Copy !req
35. The hell's goin' on?
Copy !req
36. I thought she was
scared of the pack...
Copy !req
37. This is my style!
Copy !req
38. And it don't fit in any of your boxes!
Copy !req
39. Don't lose your cool, Oguri.
Copy !req
40. What you need to do hasn't changed.
Copy !req
41. Our racers approach the zelkova tree
in between the third and fourth corner!
Copy !req
42. Oguri Cap is still in the mid-pack,
waiting to make a move!
Copy !req
43. From the first time I saw you...
Copy !req
44. I knew you were different.
Copy !req
45. I'd never raced anyone like you before,
Copy !req
46. so I didn't know how to explain it.
Copy !req
47. But one thing is clear.
Copy !req
48. Tamamo Cross,
Copy !req
49. you stand at the peak
of the national races.
Copy !req
50. Which makes me all the more certain
Copy !req
51. if I can beat you, the real deal...
Copy !req
52. Become the best in Japan, Oguri Cap.
Copy !req
53. How'd ya like to take on
the world with me, Oguri Cap?
Copy !req
54. I don't just think you can win.
Copy !req
55. I know you will.
Copy !req
56. It's time
Copy !req
57. for me to reach the peak!
Copy !req
58. UMAMUSUME
Copy !req
59. CINDERELLA GRAY
Copy !req
60. EPISODE 13 - JAPAN'S BEST
Now, we've reached the 600-meter mark!
Copy !req
61. In the lead is Lord Royal!
Copy !req
62. Two lengths behind
on the outside is Tamamo Cross!
Copy !req
63. 'Bout time ya showed up...
Copy !req
64. Beast!
Copy !req
65. Oguri Cap!
Copy !req
66. Oguri Cap charges in from the outside!
Copy !req
67. Oguri Cap is now third from the front!
Copy !req
68. Her sights set on Lord Royal
and Tamamo Cross,
Copy !req
69. she makes for the lead!
Copy !req
70. Oguri!
Copy !req
71. Yes!
Copy !req
72. All right!
Copy !req
73. You can do iiit!
Copy !req
74. Blast right past 'em!
Copy !req
75. Oguri Cap...
Copy !req
76. Once again, she roars in...
Copy !req
77. Hah!
Copy !req
78. I expect nothing less.
Copy !req
79. Relentlessly pursuing
the lead is Oguri Cap!
Copy !req
80. Don't count me out!
Copy !req
81. Three...
Copy !req
82. No...
Copy !req
83. more than four
lengths behind me?
Copy !req
84. She's that far back,
Copy !req
85. She's that far back,
and it's still sendin'
a chill down my spine—
Copy !req
86. and it's still sendin'
a chill down my spine—
Copy !req
87. the sound of the Beast in pursuit.
Copy !req
88. The homestretch.
Copy !req
89. I've been saving up my energy,
Copy !req
90. so my legs are
more than ready for this part.
Copy !req
91. In fact, it's almost like
Copy !req
92. the race hasn't even started yet!
Copy !req
93. Oguri Cap! Look at her go!
Copy !req
94. She's now four lengths away!
Copy !req
95. - Will she be able to grasp victory?
- Oguriii!
Copy !req
96. Come ooon!
Copy !req
97. Tama...
Copy !req
98. Oh my...
Copy !req
99. They both certainly
have what it takes...
Copy !req
100. Indeed.
Copy !req
101. One of them...
Copy !req
102. perhaps even both...
Copy !req
103. 400 meters to go!
Copy !req
104. Our racers have reached
Copy !req
105. Tokyo Racecourse's
infamous homestretch!
Copy !req
106. All right...
Copy !req
107. Here it comes!
Copy !req
108. This track is known for startin'
the last 400 meters on a steep hill.
Copy !req
109. The top is a full
two meters higher than the bottom!
Copy !req
110. The racers already ran
a grueling 1600 meters
Copy !req
111. and now
Copy !req
112. their hearts are being
put into overdrive!
Copy !req
113. Just like that,
ordinary racers are done for.
Copy !req
114. Well, good thing I'm no ordinary racer!
Copy !req
115. But the incline
doesn't stop Tamamo Cross!
Copy !req
116. Uh-oh!
Copy !req
117. Lord Royal's struggling
to maintain her pace!
Copy !req
118. Nothin'
Copy !req
119. can stop these legs!
Copy !req
120. Nothin' can stop me!
Copy !req
121. And just like that,
Tamamo Cross has taken the lead!
Copy !req
122. Yes!
Copy !req
123. If it's down to our final spurts
Copy !req
124. the Beast and I are evenly matched.
Copy !req
125. Meaning it's just...
Copy !req
126. a matter of positioning.
Copy !req
127. Pace chasin' was the right move...
Copy !req
128. From here,
Copy !req
129. I can react
to her final spurt quickly.
Copy !req
130. I was also able to notice
Copy !req
131. Lord Royal's strat
pretty early on and slow down.
Copy !req
132. So even after runnin' in second,
I saved enough—
Copy !req
133. no, more than enough energy
to tackle the final stretch!
Copy !req
134. Now, there's only one thing left to do!
Copy !req
135. Close this out
Copy !req
136. and snatch the gold!
Copy !req
137. Oguri Cap?
Copy !req
138. 200 meters to go!
Copy !req
139. Oguri Cap approaches
at breakneck speed!
Copy !req
140. It's a showdown between
the ashen Umamusume!
Copy !req
141. Now watch... as I take the lead!
Copy !req
142. Oguri Cap picks up speed again!
Copy !req
143. Gooo!
Copy !req
144. Oguriii!
Copy !req
145. She's closing the gap!
Copy !req
146. Three lengths—
Copy !req
147. no, two lengths to go!
Copy !req
148. Can she catch up to Tamamo Cross?
Copy !req
149. No! She can't! She can't!
Copy !req
150. Tamamo Cross speeds up,
maintaining her lead!
Copy !req
151. Tamamo Cross...
Copy !req
152. I knew you were different!
Copy !req
153. Like I'd let ya get close!
Copy !req
154. All I gotta do is keep this lead,
Copy !req
155. and vic—
Copy !req
156. My... my legs...
Copy !req
157. They're crampin' up...
Copy !req
158. There it is.
Copy !req
159. She sped up and cleared
that last furlong in eleven seconds...
Copy !req
160. No way she can keep going like that
after running in second place the entire race.
Copy !req
161. Only one length between
Tamamo Cross and Oguri Cap!
Copy !req
162. Is Tamamo Cross done for?
Copy !req
163. Tama!
Copy !req
164. Just a little more!
Just a millimeter more!
Copy !req
165. Dammit!
The finish line feels so far away!
Copy !req
166. I can't feel my legs...
Copy !req
167. My arms are numb...
Copy !req
168. Even my lungs feel like
they're 'bout to burst!
Copy !req
169. Is this it? Have I reached my limit?
Copy !req
170. Is this... where my story ends?
Copy !req
171. I did it!
Copy !req
172. I'm a whole second
faster than last week!
Copy !req
173. Hahaha! Ain't that somethin'!
Copy !req
174. Good work, Tama!
Copy !req
175. I knew ya had it in ya, and I was right!
Copy !req
176. That arm-swingin' trick
ya taught me works great!
Copy !req
177. It's like I'm pullin' myself ahead!
Copy !req
178. See? What'd I tell ya?
Copy !req
179. You use your arms while runnin'
a lot more than ya think.
Copy !req
180. Swingin' 'em gets ya into the rhythm
and keeps your center nice and balanced.
Copy !req
181. When the goin' gets tough,
Copy !req
182. just swing those arms
and raise those legs higher!
Copy !req
183. Well, that's what the TV said anyway.
Copy !req
184. So da TV's my coach?
Copy !req
185. Oh, your wit's gettin' a lot sharper too!
Copy !req
186. Welp, it's gettin' pretty late.
Copy !req
187. 'Bout time we wrap—
Copy !req
188. Ya know what? Never mind.
Copy !req
189. Take another lap! Who knows, maybe you'll be two seconds faster this time.
Copy !req
190. You wanna make
your family proud, don'tcha?
Copy !req
191. Then we better get ya nice and fast.
Copy !req
192. Yeah!
Copy !req
193. You know what, old man?
Copy !req
194. What?
Copy !req
195. One day, I'm gonna be super fast!
Copy !req
196. Oho, I sure hope so!
Copy !req
197. I'm gonna be so fast,
Copy !req
198. I'll be unstoppable!
Copy !req
199. I'm gonna be da best in Japan!
Copy !req
200. Old man, you watchin'?
Copy !req
201. You see my arms swingin'?
Copy !req
202. That's all 'cause of you.
Copy !req
203. When the goin' gets tough,
just swing those arms...
Copy !req
204. And raise those legs higher!
Copy !req
205. I told ya, didn't I?
Copy !req
206. I'm gonna get even faster,
Copy !req
207. make my family proud...
Copy !req
208. and become da best in Japan!
Copy !req
209. WHITE LIGHTNING
Copy !req
210. Welcome, Tamamo Cross,
Copy !req
211. to the Zone.
Copy !req
212. Tamamo Cross surges ahead
in another flash of speed!
Copy !req
213. 100 meters to go! Oguri Cap
can only watch as the storm rages!
Copy !req
214. Tamamo Cross makes a charge
straight for the finish line!
Copy !req
215. That girl...
Copy !req
216. What the hell... You gotta be kiddin'.
Copy !req
217. There's no way she's got more in her!
Copy !req
218. The wind,
Copy !req
219. the sound of racin' feet,
Copy !req
220. even the crowd's cheers...
Copy !req
221. It's all gone quiet.
Copy !req
222. It's like I'm in a world all by myself...
Copy !req
223. Just look at that focus.
Copy !req
224. Racers who define their era
will without a doubt reach this state.
Copy !req
225. While there, they find strength
previously unknown to them
Copy !req
226. far beyond their supposed limits.
Copy !req
227. That is the Zone.
Copy !req
228. Brings back memories, doesn't it?
Copy !req
229. Yes...
Copy !req
230. Looks like Tamamo Cross
is one of us now.
Copy !req
231. What... was that?
Copy !req
232. Oguri!
Copy !req
233. It's over.
Copy !req
234. Oguri's hit her limit.
Copy !req
235. But surely she—
Copy !req
236. Look at her...
Copy !req
237. It's not over!
Copy !req
238. I can still—
Copy !req
239. She can't even run straight.
Copy !req
240. Until then, we all thought
we knew what was going to happen.
Copy !req
241. The Beast had raged
through the capital,
Copy !req
242. toppling top-tier national racers.
Copy !req
243. We all assumed Tamamo Cross
would be no different.
Copy !req
244. But perhaps...
we were getting ahead of ourselves.
Copy !req
245. She truly is...
Copy !req
246. the peak of racing.
Copy !req
247. White Lightning—
Copy !req
248. Tamamo Cross.
Copy !req
249. Thaaat's the race!
Copy !req
250. First place is Tamamo Cross—
the winner of our ashen showdown!
Copy !req
251. With that, she's the first racer
to win both Tenno Sho races in a row!
Copy !req
252. That makes three consecutive G1 wins!
Copy !req
253. You did it, Tama...
Copy !req
254. Second place is Oguri Cap!
Copy !req
255. The front running Lord Royal
rounds out the top three!
Copy !req
256. I can't believe it...
Copy !req
257. Oguri Cap's final spurt
is without a doubt one of the best.
Copy !req
258. But even after pace chasin',
Tamamo Cross maintained—
Copy !req
259. no, she widened her lead.
Copy !req
260. Who the hell can compete
with that kinda power?
Copy !req
261. Can anyone?
Copy !req
262. I won.
Copy !req
263. I did it. I won!
Copy !req
264. Didja see that, old man?
Copy !req
265. I'm the best in Japan!
Copy !req
266. Oguri...
Copy !req
267. Tamamo's acceleration at the end...
Copy !req
268. Was that...
Copy !req
269. Hmph, good to know.
Copy !req
270. No way...
Copy !req
271. She lost?
Copy !req
272. Oguri lost?
Copy !req
273. Yeah, but... so what?
Copy !req
274. She's still amazing! Come on!
Copy !req
275. She's still amazing! Come on!
Norn...
Copy !req
276. Norn...
Copy !req
277. I'm serious!
Copy !req
278. She won six graded races in a row!
Copy !req
279. It hasn't even been a year since she left,
but she already took second in a G1!
Copy !req
280. Oguri's... amazing...
Copy !req
281. Yeah...
Copy !req
282. that's right.
Copy !req
283. Tamamo Cross was
impossibly strong today
Copy !req
284. but I can guarantee that
Copy !req
285. it was Oguri who pulled it out of her.
Copy !req
286. She has nothing to be ashamed of.
Copy !req
287. Hold your head high,
Copy !req
288. Oguri Cap.
Copy !req
289. I lost...
Copy !req
290. but what did I do wrong?
Copy !req
291. Was it my speed?
Copy !req
292. My endurance?
Copy !req
293. Was I too slow on the draw?
Copy !req
294. Hey, Ogurin!
Copy !req
295. Nice racin'.
Copy !req
296. Or maybe
Copy !req
297. I just didn't want it bad enough...
Copy !req
298. Thought ya might be
a bit down after losin',
Copy !req
299. but turns out I'm just gettin' soft.
Copy !req
300. You still got plenty of fight in ya.
Copy !req
301. Can't believe
it happened again though.
Copy !req
302. Why's it always you
that pushes me forward?
Copy !req
303. Ah, forget 'bout it.
Just talkin' to myself.
Copy !req
304. What I'm tryin' to say is
Copy !req
305. if anyone's worthy
Copy !req
306. of bein' my rival, it's you!
Copy !req
307. They sure are lucky...
Copy !req
308. Yes.
Copy !req
309. A wonderful rivalry indeed.
Copy !req
310. And from now on,
Copy !req
311. no one will ever say
ashen Umamusume can't race.
Copy !req
312. No matter how many times it happens,
Copy !req
313. defeat never tastes any less bitter.
Copy !req
314. Damn...
Copy !req
315. Anyway, I better get goin'!
Copy !req
316. I got a winning concert to prep for!
Copy !req
317. Tama.
Copy !req
318. Tama's a bit...
Copy !req
319. Is this payback for the Ogurin before?
Copy !req
320. I've got a favor to ask.
Copy !req
321. A favor, huh?
Copy !req
322. Funny that. I was just about
to say the same thing.
Copy !req
323. Another race!
Copy !req
324. And I'll beat ya then too!
Copy !req
325. So this is Tamamo Cross...
Copy !req
326. The towering mountain
I need to climb to reach the peak.
Copy !req
327. Oguri sure is late...
Copy !req
328. Yes...
Copy !req
329. What's up? She skipping or something?
Copy !req
330. I'm sure her loss
came as quite the shock...
Copy !req
331. This is her first defeat
since coming to the capital, after all.
Copy !req
332. Huh...
Copy !req
333. so losing hits her hard too, huh?
Copy !req
334. Who would've thought—
Copy !req
335. Oh, just a morning run...
Copy !req
336. Wait, you just had a race yesterday...
Copy !req
337. Shouldn't you be recuperating?
Copy !req
338. I don't have time for that.
Copy !req
339. My next race is coming up, after all.
Copy !req
340. Oguriii! We're ready to start!
Copy !req
341. As usual, let's start by
checking your form and starting dash.
Copy !req
342. Got it!
Copy !req
343. SANTA ANITA RACECOURSE, CALIFORNIA
