Copy !req
2. Hurry, hurry!
Copy !req
3. We can't be late on our very first day!
Copy !req
4. Come on, Oguri!
Copy !req
5. H-hold on a second...
Copy !req
6. I'm not used to such breezy clothes...
Copy !req
7. M-maybe I should just wear
my jersey after all.
Copy !req
8. Well, you can't!
Copy !req
9. This is our new uniform!
Copy !req
10. The fact that people walk around
wearing these loincloths is insane...
Copy !req
11. Don't call them loincloths!
Copy !req
12. Besides, Oguri
Copy !req
13. that uniform looks great on you.
Copy !req
14. Wow...
Copy !req
15. So this is it...
Copy !req
16. You must be Oguri Cap and Belno Light.
Copy !req
17. Welcome to the Japan
Umamusume Training Center Academy.
Copy !req
18. UMAMUSUME
Copy !req
19. CINDERELLA GRAY
Copy !req
20. My name is Tazuna Hayakawa.
Copy !req
21. I work at the academy
as the director's assistant.
Copy !req
22. EPISODE 7
TRACEN ACADEMY
If you have any questions regarding the school,
Copy !req
23. please feel free to ask.
Copy !req
24. O-okay!
Copy !req
25. Oh, there you are.
Copy !req
26. Ah...
Copy !req
27. Trainer Musaka.
Copy !req
28. Yo.
Copy !req
29. Who?
Copy !req
30. Who?
Wha—Oguri!
Copy !req
31. Wha—Oguri!
Copy !req
32. Ah, right, we never met
face-to-face before.
Copy !req
33. I'm Ginjiro Musaka, Jo's uncle.
Copy !req
34. Uncle... Oh, so you're Roppei.
Copy !req
35. It's Musaka.
Copy !req
36. I swear... what was that boy teaching you?
Copy !req
37. I'm a trainer here at Tokyo's Tracen.
Copy !req
38. I'll be looking after you
until Jo gets his national license.
Copy !req
39. Even if it is temporary,
Copy !req
40. I didn't really want to snatch up
his trainee like that...
Copy !req
41. But how could I say no
to my adorable nephew...
Copy !req
42. Kitahara...
Copy !req
43. Class doesn't start for a while,
Copy !req
44. so why don't I give you a short tour?
Copy !req
45. Y-yes, please!
Copy !req
46. Then I shall be taking my leave.
Copy !req
47. Wow... This is nothing like
the Kasamatsu academy...
Copy !req
48. Trainer Musaka!
Copy !req
49. Good morning!
Copy !req
50. Oh, mornin'.
Copy !req
51. Everyone sure seems to be in a hurry.
Copy !req
52. Hm? Oh that.
Copy !req
53. Hm? Oh that.
One of the rules here is that you
should run at school, albeit quietly.
Copy !req
54. One of the rules here is that you
should run at school, albeit quietly.
Copy !req
55. That's a rule?
Copy !req
56. Well, rules are rules.
Copy !req
57. Not when you're with me.
Take it easy on this old timer.
Copy !req
58. This might sound
like an exaggeration
Copy !req
59. but if it exists,
assume it's here at the academy.
Copy !req
60. A pool...
Copy !req
61. A gym...
Copy !req
62. A dance studio...
Copy !req
63. And an outdoor stage.
Copy !req
64. We even have multiple
full-size courses.
Copy !req
65. Everything a racer could want or need
is assembled here.
Copy !req
66. A real top-class school.
Copy !req
67. Of course, that goes for the students too.
Copy !req
68. The student body hovers just below 2,000
and is made up of the best of the best.
Copy !req
69. Only one racer could reign
over such an elite group.
Copy !req
70. D-do you mean...
Copy !req
71. Indeed, the one and only
Seven Crown Umamusume.
Copy !req
72. SEVEN CROWN UMAMUSUME
They say
Copy !req
73. THE FIRST UNDEFEATED TRIPLE CROWN
there are no guarantees in racing
Copy !req
74. THE EMPEROR
except for her victory.
Copy !req
75. She is the Emperor, Symboli Rudolf.
Copy !req
76. Well, well.
Copy !req
77. I thought I heard voices.
Copy !req
78. TREMBLE, TREMBLE
G-g-g-g-good m-morning!
W-w-we came t-to s-s-s-say hello!
Copy !req
79. Calm down.
Copy !req
80. Why don't you come in?
I'll make us some tea.
Copy !req
81. Then my tour ends here.
Copy !req
82. Then my tour ends here.
A little chat with your senior
Copy !req
83. A little chat with your senior
Copy !req
84. should help you decide
on your next goal.
Copy !req
85. Thanks, Roppei.
Copy !req
86. It's Musaka.
Copy !req
87. My thanks for choosing
to join us, Oguri Cap.
Copy !req
88. And you must be Belno Light,
if I'm not mistaken?
Copy !req
89. Y-yes!
Copy !req
90. Passing our entrance exam
is no small feat.
Copy !req
91. Hold your head high.
Copy !req
92. Ah, well, thanks...
Copy !req
93. "Eclipse first, the rest nowhere."
Copy !req
94. Surpass everyone and stand alone...
Copy !req
95. Very good, Belno Light.
Copy !req
96. These words are our school's motto.
Copy !req
97. Do not settle for being
Copy !req
98. just as good as someone else.
Aim to be the best.
Copy !req
99. Quite different from
what you were taught in Kasamatsu.
Copy !req
100. Before we start class,
Copy !req
101. there's someone
I'd like to introduce to you all.
Copy !req
102. We have a new transfer student
hailing from Kasamatsu!
Copy !req
103. This is Oguri Cap!
Copy !req
104. I hope you'll all give her
a warm welcome.
Copy !req
105. DICTA STRIKER
THE CHESNUT BULLET AND CLASS ACE
4 RACES, 3 WINS
Huh? Kasamatsu? Where's that?
Copy !req
106. SAKURA CHIYONO O
THE GUTSY HEROINE
She's from the regionals? Wow!
Copy !req
107. 4 RACES, 3 WINS
I better work just as hard as she did!
Copy !req
108. MEJIRO ARDAN
LADY OF THE MEJIRO HOUSE
She must be quite talented...
Copy !req
109. NO RACE RECORD
I wonder what her running is like.
Copy !req
110. BLACK ALE
THE ONYX WARRIOR
8 RACES, 4 WINS
CURRENTLY ON A 3-WIN STREAK
Copy !req
111. SUPER CREEK
THE ENDLESS TORRENT
Copy !req
112. Let's see...
Copy !req
113. Oguri Cap's record
back in Kasamatsu was... Huh?
Copy !req
114. Ten wins and two second places
out of twelve races?
Copy !req
115. Strong opponents
are more than welcome here.
Copy !req
116. May we fight honorably
and to great acclaim.
Copy !req
117. YAENO MUTEKI
IRON-WILLED FIGHTER
NO RACE RECORD
Copy !req
118. Ah, yeah.
Copy !req
119. Don't get cocky!
Copy !req
120. No one gives a damn about what you did
in the crappy sandboxes back home.
Copy !req
121. Your ass is here now.
I give it three months.
Copy !req
122. Then you'll be running home to mama.
Copy !req
123. Then you'll be running home to mama.
H-hold on... No fighting...
Copy !req
124. H-hold on... No fighting...
Copy !req
125. Sounds like you need
to be taught a lesson...
Copy !req
126. Dirt courses aren't sandboxes.
Copy !req
127. You can't play in them
no matter how much you want to.
Copy !req
128. You're freakin' DEAD!
Copy !req
129. Even if we're not in the same class,
I have to study hard so I can help Oguri!
Copy !req
130. My, my, MY! Are you perchance the
fabled transfer student hailing from Kasamatsu?
Copy !req
131. Might I trouble you for a dirt sample
from your home course?
Copy !req
132. As an avid dirt collector, I wouldn't dare
let this opportunity slip through my fingers.
Copy !req
133. Tired from your trip here?
That's where my hypotonic sports drink comes in!
Copy !req
134. All your fatigue, washed away in a flash!
One swig and you'll be in great condition!
Copy !req
135. Tell me, how is a runner's stride affected
by their speed or a slope's incline?
Copy !req
136. If I can redirect
your attention to this graph...
Copy !req
137. I'm definitely not in Kasamatsu anymore...
Copy !req
138. As you all know,
Copy !req
139. TWINKLE SERIES RANKS
races in the Twinkle Series all have a rank.
Copy !req
140. These ranks start with the debut race
and end with the graded races.
Copy !req
141. G1 is the highest rank for graded races,
so do your best to enter them and win!
Copy !req
142. As this is your classic year,
Copy !req
143. you can take on the Classic Triple Crown.
Copy !req
144. This includes...
Copy !req
145. The Satsuki Sho, the Japanese Derby,
and the Kikuka Sho.
Copy !req
146. Yes, that's correct!
Well done, Yaeno Muteki!
Copy !req
147. The Japanese Derby...
Copy !req
148. Since we're headed to Tokyo,
Copy !req
149. I guess our next goal
will be the Japanese Derby!
Copy !req
150. The Japanese Derby?
Copy !req
151. Is that like Tokai Derby's big brother?
Copy !req
152. Not... exactly...
Copy !req
153. Well, if I can't join the Tokai Derby...
Copy !req
154. I guess I'll have to give Kitahara
a win at the Japanese Derby instead.
Copy !req
155. Looks like I'll get my chance
sooner than I thought.
Copy !req
156. Unlike most races, the Classics require prior registration.
Copy !req
157. That's what you all handed in the other day!
Copy !req
158. It'll be used to determine your eligibility.
Copy !req
159. It'll be used to determine your eligibility.
Remember, without this, you can't...
Copy !req
160. Remember, without this, you can't...
Copy !req
161. Oguri...
Copy !req
162. Did you hand in your registration form?
Copy !req
163. My what now?
Copy !req
164. Um, well... without that,
you can't enter the Classics...
Copy !req
165. Huh?
Copy !req
166. Is it true Oguri can't enter
the Japanese Derby?
Copy !req
167. The teacher mentioned
some sorta form.
Copy !req
168. Is there really nothing we can do?
Copy !req
169. Calm down. That Jo... He didn't tell you?
Copy !req
170. I suppose it would be hard to bring up...
Copy !req
171. It's true. The Japanese Derby
requires registering for the Classics.
Copy !req
172. That's the rule set by the URA,
the group in charge of the Twinkle Series.
Copy !req
173. Any racer that fails to register
Copy !req
174. is barred from all Classic races.
Copy !req
175. is barred from all Classic races.
No exceptions.
Copy !req
176. No exceptions.
Copy !req
177. But the Japanese Derby
was going to be our new goal...
Copy !req
178. That's a nice sentiment, but...
Copy !req
179. I'll go talk to her.
Copy !req
180. Huh? To who?
Copy !req
181. STUDENT COUNCIL
Copy !req
182. You missed the Classics registration?
Copy !req
183. Yes... We were still
in Kasamatsu at the time,
Copy !req
184. so Oguri missed the deadline...
Copy !req
185. I see... That is rather unfortunate, but...
Copy !req
186. What of it?
Copy !req
187. I want you to help me
get into the Japanese Derby.
Copy !req
188. Heh... Ahahaha!
Copy !req
189. My apologies.
I didn't expect such an absurd request!
Copy !req
190. As you might have guessed,
Copy !req
191. the Classics are rather strict
with their guidelines.
Copy !req
192. There are no exceptions.
Copy !req
193. Even I would have been barred
had I missed the deadline.
Copy !req
194. I'm sorry, but I can't get you into the Derby.
Copy !req
195. I must say...
Copy !req
196. I didn't expect you to aim
for the Derby so quickly.
Copy !req
197. I am certain that you will do well
here in the nationals.
Copy !req
198. Graded races
are most certainly in your future.
Copy !req
199. But the Japanese Derby
is another story.
Copy !req
200. That race represents the peak of racing
for that given generation.
Copy !req
201. Many great Umamusume have fallen
Copy !req
202. JAPANESE DERBY
while pursuing that once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Copy !req
203. The Derby Umamusume is the one
who tramples over the fallen to reach the peak.
Copy !req
204. And you believe you can
simply waltz in and take that spot?
Copy !req
205. Do not take the nationals lightly.
Copy !req
206. Fine.
Copy !req
207. I'm glad you understand.
Copy !req
208. I would prioritize
adjusting to the turf here—
Copy !req
209. I'll just prove I've got what it takes.
Copy !req
210. Your rules, your precedents...
I'll break them all down with these legs!
Copy !req
211. Do not take the nationals lightly.
Copy !req
212. Are you feeling okay, Chiyo?
Copy !req
213. Yep!
Copy !req
214. I'm doing great!
Copy !req
215. There's a few things I want to try,
Copy !req
216. so I better get to it!
Copy !req
217. All right.
Copy !req
218. So she's gonna prove
she belongs in the Derby, huh?
Copy !req
219. I didn't expect that.
Copy !req
220. Yeah...
Copy !req
221. Moving from Kasamatsu to here
can feel like moving to another country...
Copy !req
222. I've seen countless regional racers
Copy !req
223. I've seen countless regional racers
leave without showing
Copy !req
224. leave without showing
Copy !req
225. even half of what they can do.
Copy !req
226. As for her...
Copy !req
227. Nah, something tells me
that won't be a problem.
Copy !req
228. Oguri Cap.
Copy !req
229. I want to talk about your first race.
Copy !req
230. NATIONAL DEBUT
The Pegasus Stakes.
Copy !req
231. PEGASUS STAKES
A G3 race held a month from now.
Copy !req
232. I've got two reasons for choosing this.
Copy !req
233. One is the distance.
Copy !req
234. 1,600 meters on turf,
just like your last race in Kasamatsu.
Copy !req
235. The second is the lineup.
Copy !req
236. The top racers will be busy
prepping for the Satsuki Sho.
Copy !req
237. Most of them won't bother
with this race.
Copy !req
238. A G3 race already?
Copy !req
239. If I win this, will it prove I'm strong?
Copy !req
240. Well, kinda...
It is a graded race after all.
Copy !req
241. Then I'll do it.
Copy !req
242. If I prove I can beat anyone,
nationals or not,
Copy !req
243. they might let me into the Derby.
Copy !req
244. So first up is the Paned Glass Stakes!
Copy !req
245. The Pegasus Stakes.
Copy !req
246. I see... But just so you know,
this means you'll be up against her.
Copy !req
247. Her?
Copy !req
248. Black Ale...
currently four wins out of eight.
Copy !req
249. Compared to her peers,
she's already got plenty of experience.
Copy !req
250. What's more,
she's currently on a 3-win streak.
Copy !req
251. I'll be frank,
she'll be a tough one to beat.
Copy !req
252. Heard you're joinin' the Pegasus Stakes,
ya ratty small fry.
Copy !req
253. RAT? SMALL FRY?
A ratty...
Copy !req
254. OGURI CAP
small fry?"
Copy !req
255. OGURI CAP
small fry?"
You got guts, I'll give you that much.
Copy !req
256. You got guts, I'll give you that much.
Copy !req
257. But if I win,
you take your ass back to the boonies.
Copy !req
258. Lick your wounds with all the other
small fry in your crappy village.
Copy !req
259. Your boonie ass
doesn't belong in the nationals.
Copy !req
260. All right,
Copy !req
261. then I'll add a wager of my own.
Copy !req
262. Huh?
Copy !req
263. If I win,
you need to watch your language!
Copy !req
264. ROAD TO GETTING SWOLE!
Copy !req
265. Graaaaugh! DAMMIT!
Copy !req
266. Ow, that hurts!
Copy !req
267. Agh... I really hate studying...
Copy !req
268. Oh?
Copy !req
269. Oguri... I bet you're working hard, huh?
Copy !req
270. She's a bit of a ditz...
Copy !req
271. Hopefully she's not getting into trouble.
Copy !req
272. Welp, back to it...
Copy !req
273. You have to go back
to Kasamatsu if you lose?
Copy !req
274. She called Kasamatsu crappy
and everyone there small fry!
Copy !req
275. I gotta win!
Copy !req
276. Look, I get it, but...
Copy !req
277. Ahaha! I like you!
Copy !req
278. Is this the new racer you were talking about,
Trainer Musaka?。
Copy !req
279. There you are.
Copy !req
280. Um... who are these people?
Copy !req
281. Allow me to introduce you.
These girls are all racers on my team.
Copy !req
282. MEIKUN TSUKASA
In other words, they're your upperclassmen.
Copy !req
283. Hey! The name's Meikun Tsukasa.
Copy !req
284. Sorry I couldn't say hi this morning!
Copy !req
285. KRAFT UNIVER
I'm Kraft Univer... N-nice to meet you.
Copy !req
286. GOD HANNIBAL
Heh... I'm God Hannibal. Nice to meet you.
Copy !req
287. - Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you all too!
Copy !req
288. Before we get you racing,
there's something I want to check
Copy !req
289. so I'll be having these racers work with you.
Copy !req
290. Work with me?
Copy !req
291. Just a little partner running.
Copy !req
292. They're fast.
Copy !req
293. So this is what the
experienced national racers are like.
Copy !req
294. When I give the signal,
I want you to try passing those two.
Copy !req
295. The signal!
Copy !req
296. She can't pass them?
Copy !req
297. And they won't let her.
Copy !req
298. Tsukasa on the inside,
Univer on the outside.
Copy !req
299. They're baiting her with feints,
Copy !req
300. then quickly blocking
any path she tries to take.
Copy !req
301. Can't really kick off into a spurt
with a wall in front of you.
Copy !req
302. She's got nowhere to go.
Copy !req
303. I see...
Copy !req
304. But why is she eating ice cream
instead of running with them?
Copy !req
305. That's one problem, but...
Copy !req
306. As she is now,
she's got no chance of beating Black Ale.
Copy !req
307. The clouds loom overhead,
Copy !req
308. but the energy here at Hanshin Racecourse
shines like the sun!
Copy !req
309. Today we're here
for the G3 Pegasus Stakes!
Copy !req
310. I'm your caster, Akasaka,
Copy !req
311. and our commentator today
will be Igawa here!
Copy !req
312. Pleasure to be working with you!
Copy !req
313. The pleasure is all mine.
Copy !req
314. PEGASUS STAKES
As we speak, the favorite to win
makes her way onto the paddock!
Copy !req
315. She won her last race, the Violet Stakes,
Copy !req
316. by more than three lengths!
Copy !req
317. With four wins in a row under her belt
Copy !req
318. it's Black Ale!
Copy !req
319. She sure is popular...
Copy !req
320. Do you think Oguri will be okay?
Copy !req
321. Especially since...
Copy !req
322. Since what?
Copy !req
323. Well, you said she had no chance...
Copy !req
324. Not as she is now.
Copy !req
325. One lap of Kasamatsu's course is 1,100 meters.
Copy !req
326. But this course is a full 2,000.
Copy !req
327. When the course size changes,
so does the angle of the corners
Copy !req
328. which means the way
she usually runs won't work.
Copy !req
329. She has to change her strategy.
Copy !req
330. Up next is number two in the rankings!
Copy !req
331. The transfer student
on everyone's mind—
Copy !req
332. Oguri Cap!
Copy !req
333. Oh, right.
Copy !req
334. Got it? Make your
first impression count.
Copy !req
335. Throw off your jersey like, bam!
Copy !req
336. Pull it off and you'll look sooo cool!
Copy !req
337. Throw my jersey off like... Bam!
Copy !req
338. Oh, so that's her.
Copy !req
339. Making your first stunt at the nationals
a graded race, huh? Kid's got guts.
Copy !req
340. SENSUKE FUJII - REPORTER
But why the Pegasus Stakes?
Copy !req
341. She should be doin' the preliminary races
for the Satsuki Sho.
Copy !req
342. There's the Yayoi Sho,
the Spring Stakes...
Copy !req
343. SPRING 1,800~2,000-METER RACES
Heck, if she wants a G3, the Kyodo News Hai
and Kisaragi Sho are your best bet.
Copy !req
344. Up until January,
she was racing in Kasamatsu!
Copy !req
345. There, her record was
ten wins out of twelve races!
Copy !req
346. Ah... she missed the deadline, eh?
Copy !req
347. Not like it woulda mattered much...
Copy !req
348. She's from the regionals,
for cryin' out loud.
Copy !req
349. Oguri!
Copy !req
350. What's up?
Copy !req
351. Sorry to drop this on you right before the race,
but here's a bit of advice.
Copy !req
352. For this race,
Copy !req
353. I want you to loosen up.
Copy !req
354. - ... Got it.
- Really?
Copy !req
355. Now, with preparations complete,
Copy !req
356. each racer heads into their gate!
Copy !req
357. What's the matter, ratty small fry?
Copy !req
358. Is it finally sinking in that you're
in the freakin' big lea—huh?
Copy !req
359. The smell of the turf...
Copy !req
360. Haha, she's a character,
Copy !req
361. - The voices in the crowd...
- that's for sure!
Copy !req
362. The feel of the breeze...
Copy !req
