14. B-But that's an SP1 race!Copy !req

first and foremost is their first race.Copy !req

31. Good work!Copy !req
32. This is it... I think.Copy !req
33. Sorry you had to guide me here.Copy !req
34. I just kept getting turned around,
no matter what I did.Copy !req
35. You're, uh... pretty bad with directions, huh?Copy !req
36. Yeah.Copy !req
37. Oh, there you are!Copy !req
38. This is where my team meets.Copy !req
39. Or well, it would be, if I had one.
Haven't scouted anyone else yet.Copy !req
40. But that changes today.Copy !req
41. TEAM REGISTRATIONCopy !req
42. Once you sign this paperwork,Copy !req
43. you'll officially be registered
to my team!Copy !req
44. Wow. She's getting scouted already...Copy !req
45. Meanwhile, I'm just...Copy !req
46. - Here.
- Huh?Copy !req
47. You gonna sign it or not?Copy !req
48. Huh? B-but I wasn't... the one scouted...Copy !req
49. What's this now?Copy !req
50. You haven't been scouted yet?Copy !req
51. If you want, feel free to join my team!Copy !req
52. I can train the both of you, no problem.Copy !req

- Huh?Copy !req
54. Welcome to the team.Copy !req
55. Yeah! I can't wait to train together,Copy !req
56. Oguri!Copy !req
57. All right.Copy !req
58. Now that all that is sorted,Copy !req
59. let's see how
your current skills measure up.Copy !req
60. Okay!Copy !req
61. Sorry, could you help me warm up?Copy !req
62. Oh, sure.Copy !req
63. W-Wow...Copy !req
64. She really is flexible!Copy !req
65. Were you always this flexible?Copy !req
66. If anything, it's the opposite.Copy !req
67. How so?Copy !req
68. I was actually born with really bad knees.
I couldn't even stand up as a toddler.Copy !req
69. But my mom would massage my legs
every day for hours on end.Copy !req
70. And this is the result...Copy !req
71. The hell? That little runt
on Dust Bunny's team?Copy !req
72. {\an8}Wow. Huh. Well, big deal.Copy !req
73. {\an8}Not like I care what team she's on.
Not one bit.Copy !req
74. {\an8}Oh yeah. You look totally unbothered.Copy !req
75. {\an8}- When's the wedding?
- Shut up!Copy !req
76. She really beat us good.Copy !req
77. What was even the point
of untying her shoes?Copy !req
78. Huh? You did what?!Copy !req
79. Man, that's low, even for you.Copy !req
80. Wow, you really didn't notice, huh.Copy !req
81. What are you all doing?!
You're supposed to be training!Copy !req
82. Ugh. The drill sergeant is back.Copy !req
83. I swear, it's like you're not even
grateful I scouted you...Copy !req
84. Oh pipe down. You're just salty you lost
out on March and got stuck with us.Copy !req
85. What?! You're wrong! I'm not salty at all!Copy !req
86. Well, I guess I'm a little miffed
he got her over me...Copy !req
87. Fujimasa March.
Her start really is spectacular.Copy !req
88. That instant burst of speed
will be her trump card.Copy !req
89. I think she's a front runnerCopy !req
90. and best suited for sprints.Copy !req
91. All right, good time.Copy !req
92. Let's take a short break.Copy !req
93. No, I'm training more.Copy !req
94. I don't think...Copy !req
95. And I can see that potential in you!Copy !req
96. If we put our minds to it,
even winning the Tokai Derby is possible!Copy !req
97. The one going to the Tokai Derby is me.Copy !req
98. Hm?Copy !req
99. Don't mind me. I'm going for another lap.Copy !req
100. Hey!Copy !req
101. Looks like her communication skills
need some work.Copy !req
102. I can't believe you can maintain that form
the whole time.Copy !req
103. {\an8}Oguri's stamina... is amazing...Copy !req
104. Cap has great stamina and strength.Copy !req
105. Her arm movement is fluid,Copy !req
106. and her lower body muscles
are working in perfect unison.Copy !req
107. She'll meet her targets in time
for the May 19th debut race no problem.Copy !req
108. As for you, Belno...
We'll start by building up your stamina.Copy !req
109. Your debut can wait.Copy !req
110. O-Okay...Copy !req
111. Cap!Copy !req
112. What?Copy !req
113. She's not out of breath at all!Copy !req
114. I've got a suggestion
regarding that form of yours.Copy !req
115. So what do you think?Copy !req
116. I-I suppose that would increase her speed
if she can pull it off...Copy !req
117. Your debut's not that far off.
Wanna give it a shot?Copy !req
118. 596, 597,Copy !req
119. 598, 599,Copy !req
120. 600!Copy !req
121. One more set.Copy !req
122. I woke up a little early today.Copy !req
123. Huh?Copy !req
124. The cafeteria's open already?Copy !req
125. Guess I'll relax and enjoy breakfast!Copy !req
126. - The rice's gone...
- Belno?Copy !req
127. G-Good morning, Oguri.
That's a big breakfast you've got there.Copy !req
128. I have to fast until lunch after all.Copy !req
129. I don't think you can call
the time until lunch a "fast".Copy !req
130. Looks like she went running this morning.Copy !req
131. Wait, on the first day of school...Copy !req
132. Was she training back then too?Copy !req
133. Hey, Oguri?Copy !req
134. Why do you run so much?Copy !req
135. Ah, no, I mean--Copy !req
136. I'm just curious, like,Copy !req
137. do you wanna be famous
or is there someone you wanna beat?Copy !req
138. You know, a goal of some kind!Copy !req
139. Why I run?Copy !req
140. Because I can?Copy !req
141. Huh?Copy !req
142. I was actually born with really bad knees.
I couldn't even stand up as a toddler.Copy !req
143. Being able to stand and run...Copy !req
144. That's like a miracle to me.Copy !req
145. So even just running makes me happy.Copy !req
146. That's all.Copy !req
147. Running just because you can.Copy !req
148. TRAINERS' OFFICECopy !req
149. Four, no, maybe six?Copy !req
150. C'mon, Jo, move your feet!Copy !req
151. Ah, my bad.Copy !req
152. Huh? Where's Shibasaki?Copy !req
153. He said he's gonna be cooped up
in his team's room.Copy !req
154. Something about a race coming up.Copy !req
155. Oh?Copy !req
156. May 19th's debut race lineup is out!Copy !req
157. Pipe down!
Use your inside voice, you big lug!Copy !req
158. Sorry about that!Copy !req
159. But wait until you get a look
at this lineup! We're in for a real show!Copy !req
160. This year's newbies
are really promising, after all.Copy !req
161. Although only the best of them
are ready to...Copy !req
162. 3) SOUTH HEROINE
5) OGURI CAPCopy !req
163. 1) FUJIMASA MARCHCopy !req
164. No freaking way...Copy !req
165. KASAMATSU TRACEN ACADEMY DORMITORYCopy !req
166. Have a good one!Copy !req
167. Dear Oguri,Copy !req
168. I'm sending along the hair accessory
I used to wear for my races.Copy !req
169. I hope you'll wear it too.Copy !req
170. Love, Mom.Copy !req
171. P.S., I'll be listening to your race
on the radioCopy !req
172. Mom...Copy !req
173. Sorry!Copy !req
174. Er, um... You see...Copy !req
175. I came to see if
you wanted to eat dinner together.Copy !req
176. But wow, Oguri.Copy !req
177. You must really love your mom, huh?Copy !req
178. Huh?!Copy !req
179. Ah, w-wait!
You especially need to eat tonight!Copy !req
180. I mean, tomorrow'sCopy !req
181. your debut race, Oguri!Copy !req
182. {\an8}DAY OF THE JUNIOR DEBUT RACECopy !req
183. {\an8}KASAMATSU RACECOURSECopy !req
184. WAITING ROOMCopy !req
185. All right, listen up.Copy !req
186. Cap's race is the first one,
starting at 2:30 p.m.Copy !req
187. 800 meters on a dirt course.Copy !req
188. The gates will open here
and you'll round the curveCopy !req
189. to finish here, in front of the stands.Copy !req
190. It's a short distance
and the curve is tricky,Copy !req
191. so you'll be in trouble
if you leave the gate late.Copy !req
192. In other words,
a good start is absolutely key.Copy !req
193. A good start is key.Copy !req
194. Don't forget,
you're not the only racer out there.Copy !req
195. Everyone will be vying
for a position along with you.Copy !req
196. Once you find the lead,
keep an eye on her.Copy !req
197. Consider her position as you time
your final spurt towards the goal.Copy !req
198. Keep an eye on the lead.Copy !req
199. Did she get any of that?Copy !req
200. {\an8}KASAMATSU RACECOURSECopy !req
201. {\an8}Well, looks like our runners
have entered the paddock.Copy !req
202. {\an8}For these debuting racers,Copy !req
203. {\an8}today marks the first time
they can show off their racing prowess.Copy !req
204. In bracket one, post one
is Fujimasa March.Copy !req
205. People have high hopes for this star
of Kasamatsu Tracen Academy.Copy !req
206. She's the favorite today by a long shot.Copy !req
207. {\an8}- So cool.
- You got this!Copy !req
208. {\an8}You're like a super fan...Copy !req
209. Next in bracket five, post five is...Copy !req
210. Oguri Ca--hm?Copy !req
211. {\an8}Er, um, well...Copy !req
212. {\an8}Perhaps her dry cleaning was late.Copy !req
213. {\an8}- So gross.
- Seriously?Copy !req
214. {\an8}What's this?
Oguri Cap has taken something out!Copy !req
215. A hair accessory!Copy !req
216. And now... she's put it on!Copy !req
217. Well, uh...Copy !req
218. She must be in tune with fashion trends!Copy !req
219. Even the caster doesn't know what to say.Copy !req
220. I wonder why she chose to put it on now?Copy !req
221. She wore it after all.Copy !req
222. Dammit, Shibasaki!Copy !req
223. How dare you pick the same race as us?!Copy !req
224. It wasn't on purpose!Copy !req
225. I'm truly sorry about this, Jo,
but we've got this race in the bag.Copy !req
226. She's a true prodigy, that one.Copy !req
227. She's got the brains and the brawn.Copy !req
228. And she can draw it all out in an instant.Copy !req
229. {\an8}Oh yeah?! Well, Cap's just as good!Copy !req
230. {\an8}She's got... uh...
She's got really flexible knees!Copy !req
231. {\an8}That's right! And she loves her mother
very, very much!Copy !req
232. {\an8}That's all you can say?Copy !req
233. All racers have assembled at the gates,
waiting for the race to begin.Copy !req
234. Better tie these extra tight.Copy !req
235. Oguri Cap.Copy !req
236. I refuse to lose to you.Copy !req
237. I will be the one going
to the Tokai Derby.Copy !req
238. The Tokai Derby...Copy !req
239. What's that again?Copy !req
240. TOKAI DERBY?Copy !req
241. Now, with preparations complete,
our racers are entering their gates!Copy !req
242. The others will prove no challenge.Copy !req
243. If anyone does...Copy !req
244. it'll be Oguri Cap.Copy !req
245. No doubt it'll be down to us two.Copy !req
246. With everyone now lined up,
the 800-meter debut race can begin!Copy !req
247. Once this race starts...Copy !req
248. you'll see how weak you truly are!Copy !req
249. The gates open and our racers are off!Copy !req
250. That's it! The perfect start!Copy !req
251. What about Cap?!Copy !req
252. Not the cleanest start to a race,
but the debut race has begun!Copy !req
253. Just which racer will claim the win?Copy !req
254. Uh-oh, one racer left the gate late!Copy !req
255. Number five, Oguri Cap!
Oguri Cap makes a late start!Copy !req
256. Oguri Cap is currently trailing behind
the rest of the pack!Copy !req
257. How lame.
Did her shoelaces come undone again...Copy !req
258. Hm...Copy !req
259. I didn't do anything!Copy !req
260. I told her a good start was key...Copy !req
261. That's it, March!Copy !req
262. Why's Oguri looking at her feet?Copy !req
263. Despite her late start, Oguri Cap has
caught up to the back of the pack!Copy !req
264. Good, that's it! We've still got a chance!Copy !req
265. {\an8}Number three,
South Heroine is in the lead,Copy !req
266. {\an8}followed by Sekai Toha in second!Copy !req
267. {\an8}And pursuing them from the insideCopy !req
268. {\an8}is the favorite Fujimasa March,
currently in third!Copy !req
269. Kitahara said to keep an eye
on the lead, but...Copy !req
270. Who is the lead?Copy !req
271. The racers are now entering
the third corner!Copy !req
272. Sorry!Copy !req
273. What?!Copy !req
274. What's her deal?Copy !req
275. Look where you're going.Copy !req
276. {\an8}Why'd she move to the outside?!Copy !req
277. {\an8}It's just physics.Copy !req
278. When a runner turns,Copy !req
279. centrifugal force pushes
their center of mass to the outside!Copy !req
280. {\an8}With such a steep curve and all these
racers grouped together,Copy !req
281. {\an8}collisions can happen.Copy !req
282. {\an8}But that's...Copy !req
283. March moved to the front
to avoid the dangers of the pack.Copy !req
284. What great racing instincts!Copy !req
285. Easy now. The straight's up ahead.Copy !req
286. That's where the real race begins.Copy !req
287. And the lead can't keep this up
much longer.Copy !req
288. The pack's approaching the fourth corner!Copy !req
289. South Heroine remains in the lead, with
Fujimasa March following close behind!Copy !req
290. The rest of the pack is picking up
the pace and gaining on them!Copy !req
291. Not yet.Copy !req
292. Now!Copy !req
293. Number one, Fujimasa March
picks up the pace!Copy !req
294. Will she overtake South Heroine?!Copy !req
295. If you'll excuse me.Copy !req
296. Fujimasa March takes the lead!Copy !req
297. I can't!Copy !req
298. No way! Look at her go!Copy !req
299. - Awesome!
- You've got this!Copy !req
300. That's it! That's it!Copy !req
301. No, no, no!Copy !req
302. 200 meters to go!Copy !req
303. The lead... there she is!Copy !req
304. I've got a suggestion
regarding that form of yours.Copy !req
305. Kasamatsu Racecourse is a dirt course
made up of soft river sand.Copy !req
306. Not only does it require
more power in your steps,Copy !req
307. but there's also a trick to it.Copy !req
308. A trick?Copy !req
309. Your ankles.Copy !req
310. You lean forward as you run,Copy !req
311. but that low center of gravity
has its drawbacks.Copy !req
312. The slippery sand will likely disperse
the force of your steps.Copy !req
313. Therein lies the trick.Copy !req
314. First, plant your feet squarely
into the sand, as if to grasp it.Copy !req
315. Then, shift forward and use your ankles
to kick the sand behind you!Copy !req
316. In a sense, it'd be more like swimming
than running.Copy !req
317. You'd be using your ankles
to propel yourself through the sand.Copy !req
318. Therefore, this strategy
depends on their strength.Copy !req
319. Starting now, you'll train
your ankle muscles.Copy !req
320. They're going to be the key to winning
at Kasamatsu.Copy !req
321. I've got plenty of energy.Copy !req
322. And I can see the lead.Copy !req
323. Pretend I'm swimming.Copy !req
324. Grasp the sand, lean forward,Copy !req
325. and kick back!Copy !req
326. Whoa-ho!Copy !req
327. A racer comes rushing in from the outside!Copy !req
328. It's Oguri Cap!Copy !req
329. Number five, Oguri Cap!
Oguri Cap is making a break for it!Copy !req
330. What?!Copy !req
331. Good!Copy !req
332. Go!Copy !req
333. Run, March!Copy !req
334. Oguri Cap surges to the front of the pack!Copy !req
335. This is so much easier.
And I feel faster too.Copy !req
336. Kitahara...Copy !req
337. He knows his stuff.Copy !req
338. Chasing the lead like a surging storm,Copy !req
339. it's number five, Oguri Cap!
She's closing in at breakneck speed!Copy !req
340. Oguri Cap rushes in,
easily snatching second!Copy !req
341. But her mark is Fujimasa March!Copy !req
342. Fujimasa March races on
with Oguri Cap closing in!Copy !req
343. It's down to the wire!Copy !req
344. I'm aiming to be Tokai Derby champion!Copy !req
345. You think I'd let myself loseCopy !req
346. here of all places?!Copy !req
347. Fujimasa March accelerates,
pushing forward once again!Copy !req
348. Cap!Copy !req
349. Oguri?Copy !req
350. But Oguri Cap keeps up her dogged pursuit!Copy !req
351. She's caught up! Oguri Cap has caught up
to Fujimasa March!Copy !req
352. Only 100 meters remain!Copy !req
353. Will it be number one, Fujimasa March?!Copy !req
354. Or number five, Oguri Cap?!Copy !req
355. Next time on Umamusume: Cinderella Gray!Copy !req
