1. McQueen's return race!Copy !req
2. And she dominates, as if to clear
away any doubt about her condition!Copy !req
3. Damn it!Copy !req
4. There were concerns about her
preparation before the race,Copy !req
5. but she had a flawless run,
setting a record time of 2:03.03!Copy !req
6. McQueen just ran a
picture-perfect return race.Copy !req
7. I wish I could start running again soon.Copy !req
8. It really was a perfect run, without the
slightest sign of trouble, wasn't it?Copy !req
9. I'd certainly agree. It'll be hard not to
get excited for a possible unprecedentedCopy !req
10. third win at the Spring Tennoushou.Copy !req
11. Why Rice Shower, though?Copy !req
12. She just had to ruin it.Copy !req
13. I wanted to see Bourbon win the Triple Crown.Copy !req
14. What a disappointment.Copy !req
15. The champion has returned!Copy !req
16. And her approach to the Spring
Tennoushou is all clear!Copy !req
17. UmamusumeCopy !req
18. Pretty DerbyCopy !req
19. Wow, you're on the cover of
just about every paper, McQueen.Copy !req
20. This is awesome, McQueen!
You've got all eyes on you.Copy !req
21. Episode 7
A Blessed NameCopy !req
22. I'm glad, but I must admit, it's a bit
embarrassing to receive so much attention.Copy !req
23. "Rice Shower's management
declares her imminent victory.Copy !req
24. 'On a clear day, she will win.'"Copy !req
25. True enough. I think the only competition
you have in long-distance racing right nowCopy !req
26. is Rice Shower.Copy !req
27. It says that her time during
the last three furlongsCopy !req
28. of the Kikkashou was better than yours.Copy !req
29. There's more to racing than segment times.Copy !req
30. But fair enough. I'd be glad to take her on.Copy !req
31. I didn't let Teio have the Spring plaque.Copy !req
32. And it will be mine again.Copy !req
33. Let's introduce the star horse girls
going into the Spring Tennoushou.Copy !req
34. It's fair to say that the
spotlight is shining onCopy !req
35. A CLOSE LOOK AT THE HORSE GIRLS RUNNING IN THE SPRING TENNOUSHOU!Copy !req
36. Mejiro McQueen, who is hoping to win
the race for a third consecutive time.Copy !req
37. A CLOSE LOOK AT THE HORSE GIRLS RUNNING IN THE SPRING TENNOUSHOU!Copy !req
38. It isn't an exaggeration to
call her the best active racer.Copy !req
39. Next is Rice Shower, who foiled
Mihono Bourbon's attempt at the Triple Crown.Copy !req
40. Will she put an end to another
attempt to make history?Copy !req
41. A CLOSE LOOK AT THE HORSE GIRLS RUNNING IN THE SPRING TENNOUSHOU!Copy !req
42. Rice Shower's running too, huh?Copy !req
43. This is McQueen's shot at
a third consecutive win.Copy !req
44. Here's hoping she doesn't ruin it.Copy !req
45. Tell me about it.Copy !req
46. Rice Shower took first place
at the Nikkei Sho as well.Copy !req
47. A CLOSE LOOK AT THE HORSE GIRLS RUNNING IN THE SPRING TENNOUSHOU!Copy !req
48. She's bound to be in good shape
heading towards the Spring Tennoushou.Copy !req
49. Hey, hey, hey!Copy !req
50. Is it me, or is Rice looking
real strong lately?Copy !req
51. She's been working hard.Copy !req
52. Friendship • Effort • VictoryCopy !req
53. I think she's got her sights
set on taking McQueen down.Copy !req
54. Next is Machikane Tannhäuser!Copy !req
55. The Star Horse Girls of the MomentCopy !req
56. In her last race in the G2,
she managed to beat Rice Shower.Copy !req
57. Expectations for her will be high.Copy !req
58. She did beat Rice, after all.Copy !req
59. You were all there rooting for me, remember?Copy !req
60. We're gonna do some godrunning
at the Tennoushou, too!Copy !req
61. I'm down to clown with that!Copy !req
62. I think we might've figured
out the trick to outrunning.Copy !req
63. For real, though! It's like, you
gotta run hella good, right?Copy !req
64. Coming around the second corner, it's
Daitaku Helios and Mejiro Palmer in the lead!Copy !req
65. Yet again, we see the two
of them setting the pace!Copy !req
66. It's me!Copy !req
67. No, me!Copy !req
68. It's me!Copy !req
69. No, me!Copy !req
70. And Mejiro Palmer and Daitaku Helios
have fallen apart!Copy !req
71. We didn't manage to stay out in
front during the Fall Tennoushou.Copy !req
72. We're now on the back half of the race!Copy !req
73. Mejiro Palmer and Daitaku Helios are
outrunning the others by a big margin!Copy !req
74. There are over ten lengths between
the two of them and third place!Copy !req
75. The others will have to pick
up the pace to close this gap!Copy !req
76. It's me!Copy !req
77. It doesn't look like anyone is
going to come close, though!Copy !req
78. No, me!Copy !req
79. It's me!Copy !req
80. No, me!Copy !req
81. You can take it from here!Copy !req
82. We're BFFs!Copy !req
83. Nice NatureCopy !req
84. But we ran like whoa at the Arima Kinen!Copy !req
85. Rice!Copy !req
86. Looking forward to running with
you in the next race, Rice!Copy !req
87. Huh?Copy !req
88. What's with her?Copy !req
89. Not sure...Copy !req
90. Intent to Ultim-Outrun!Copy !req
91. McQueen Setting Her Sights on a Third Consecutive WinCopy !req
92. Machikane Tannhäuser and Mejiro Palmer in Top Shape!Copy !req
93. Rice Shower's Management
Confident in Her Ability
to Upset Mejiro McQueen!Copy !req
94. Will the Assassin in Black
Thwart Another Major Accomplishment?Copy !req
95. Will the Assassin in Black
Thwart Another Major Accomplishment?Copy !req
96. Rice Shower-san?Copy !req
97. I was hoping to speak with you.Copy !req
98. I saw the feature you were in.Copy !req
99. You seem certain you'll be able to win.Copy !req
100. Consider the challenge accepted.
Let's have a good race, shall we?Copy !req
101. I'm not running in the Tennoushou.Copy !req
102. I don't want to race anymore!Copy !req
103. Hey, wait—Copy !req
104. McQueen-san is so cool!Copy !req
105. A third championship! That'd be great to see.Copy !req
106. I'd love to see it happen!Copy !req
107. It's gonna be great!Copy !req
108. Right?Copy !req
109. What?Copy !req
110. Is this for real?Copy !req
111. Unbelievable...Copy !req
112. It's such a shame.Copy !req
113. No one wants me around.Copy !req
114. Wait, Rice isn't running?Copy !req
115. She doesn't seem to want to run anymore.Copy !req
116. It's probably some scheme to get you
to drop your guard before the race.Copy !req
117. Did something happen to her?Copy !req
118. Her entry is still listed...Copy !req
119. That sounds like a plan you'd come up with.Copy !req
120. So it's probably something personal.Copy !req
121. Excuse me? I always run fair and square!Copy !req
122. Hey, the less competition, the better.Copy !req
123. Do you, now?Copy !req
124. You'll have an even easier time taking it.Copy !req
125. You're the one who tries to dupe
people by faking like you got a cold!Copy !req
126. What's wrong?Copy !req
127. I do no such thing!Copy !req
128. It's a bit disappointing. I had
heard she was looking strong.Copy !req
129. You're the one who pulls that
"maybe I'll run, maybe not" scheme!Copy !req
130. It's not a scheme!Copy !req
131. Worrying about someone else
won't get you anywhere.Copy !req
132. That just makes you a liar!Copy !req
133. You should focus on your training.Copy !req
134. I am not!Copy !req
135. I suppose...Copy !req
136. I'm going to ask her what's going on.Copy !req
137. Teio?Copy !req
138. You're not gonna be able to focus on
your training with this bugging you.Copy !req
139. Leave this to your team leader!Copy !req
140. We'll go, too!Copy !req
141. Right?Copy !req
142. Sounds good.Copy !req
143. I appreciate it, everyone.Copy !req
144. Found ya, Rice!Copy !req
145. Nice weather today, huh?Copy !req
146. Makes you want to get out
there and run hard, right?Copy !req
147. I-I guess so...Copy !req
148. But if you run too much, it makes
fixing up the track a lot of work!Copy !req
149. Huh? She's not asking about the Tennoushou?Copy !req
150. I actually wanted to ask
you about the Tennoushou—Copy !req
151. Hey, wait!Copy !req
152. Look at this! I'm great at forward bending!Copy !req
153. You gonna enter the Spring Ten?
I bet it'd be a lot of fun!Copy !req
154. Probably as much fun as forward bending!Copy !req
155. I actually hold a record in forward bending!Copy !req
156. Rice...Copy !req
157. About the Spring Ten...Copy !req
158. Hey!Copy !req
159. This is kinda...Copy !req
160. This looks like a job for me.Copy !req
161. I'm counting on you, Spe-chan!Copy !req
162. Rice Shower. What a lovely name! I'm a fan.Copy !req
163. Especially the "rice" part.Copy !req
164. It didn't work.Copy !req
165. I'm not sure what you were
trying to accomplish!Copy !req
166. I guess we'll have to
try the direct approach!Copy !req
167. Wh-Who are you?Copy !req
168. Scarlet! Vodka! Spe! Get 'er, girls!Copy !req
169. Right, Gold Ship-san!Copy !req
170. It's Spica!Copy !req
171. Heave-ho, heave-ho!Copy !req
172. Um... wh-what is this?Copy !req
173. Sorry about this, Rice.Copy !req
174. McQueen told us you weren't
going to run in the Tennoushou.Copy !req
175. Would you tell us about it?Copy !req
176. Will you let me go if I do?Copy !req
177. Because there's no point.Copy !req
178. What do you mean?Copy !req
179. Because no one wants me around.Copy !req
180. Ever since I was little, I used to look
up to things that were glamorous.Copy !req
181. The two of them were blessed
with a rice shower to bring them good fortune!Copy !req
182. The two of them were blessed
with a rice shower to bring them good fortune!Copy !req
183. The Magic of HappinessCopy !req
184. There are 100 meters to go!
First place has a tiny lead!Copy !req
185. Number 8, Rice Shower, is in
front by a small margin!Copy !req
186. And Rice Shower crosses the
goal with her lead intact!Copy !req
187. Rice Shower has done a fine
job of winning her debut race!Copy !req
188. I was so glad when I won my first race...Copy !req
189. And everyone was really happy.Copy !req
190. It made running so much fun.Copy !req
191. I thought that even someone
like me could be glamorous.Copy !req
192. She's striking an imposing figure!Copy !req
193. Mihono Bourbon manages to outrun the
entire pack as she crosses the goal!Copy !req
194. She wins the Satsukishou while undefeated!Copy !req
195. Bourbon-san was so dazzling
when she won the Satsukishou...Copy !req
196. So I decided I wanted
to be like her someday.Copy !req
197. Mihono Bourbon is in the lead!
It seems she has this race won!Copy !req
198. I wanted to catch up with
the person I idolized.Copy !req
199. I wanted to win a race,
and be like Bourbon-san.Copy !req
200. And then, at the Kikkashou,
it finally happened..Copy !req
201. Mihono Bourbon is in the lead!Copy !req
202. Rice Shower is closing the gap!
Mihono Bourbon still has a faint lead!Copy !req
203. But Rice Shower moves up on the outside!
Rice Shower passes her!Copy !req
204. Rice Shower has the lead!
And she clears the goal!Copy !req
205. KikkashouCopy !req
206. Mihono Bourbon's Triple Crown
will remain incomplete!Copy !req
207. The winning horse girl of the
Kikkashou is Rice Shower!Copy !req
208. Wait, what?Copy !req
209. What the heck?Copy !req
210. Seriously?Copy !req
211. I wanted to see a Triple Crown.Copy !req
212. Why?Copy !req
213. Nobody wanted me to win.Copy !req
214. Why didn't Bourbon win?Copy !req
215. I destroyed Bourbon-san
and her fans' dreams.Copy !req
216. Everyone was sad.Copy !req
217. Now everyone is looking forward to
McQueen-san winning a third Spring Tennoushou.Copy !req
218. Even if I enter and win,
no one will be happy.Copy !req
219. I'll just make everyone miserable.Copy !req
220. Me, whose name is supposed to
represent something happy.Copy !req
221. That's heavy.Copy !req
222. So I won't be running anymore.Copy !req
223. Rice?Copy !req
224. Please, leave me alone.Copy !req
225. Rice...Copy !req
226. I had no idea.Copy !req
227. I understand how she feels!Copy !req
228. She worked so hard on her racing, so it has to be frustratingCopy !req
229. for no one to recognize
what she accomplished!Copy !req
230. True enough. Rice's Kikkashou win is
something that should have been celebrated.Copy !req
231. But...Copy !req
232. I believe using that as a reason
to turn away from racing is,Copy !req
233. for a horse girl, mistaken.Copy !req
234. McQueen...Copy !req
235. Okay!Copy !req
236. I'll try and convince Rice to run after all.Copy !req
237. Just don't regret this, okay?Copy !req
238. I would never.Copy !req
239. Besides, I find it vexing to
have Rice taking me so lightly.Copy !req
240. "No one will be happy if I win"?Copy !req
241. She's so certain of her victory,
before even running.Copy !req
242. That's true.Copy !req
243. Please take care of things with Rice, Leader.Copy !req
244. UmamusumeCopy !req
245. Pretty DerbyCopy !req
246. Sure!Copy !req

257. Your recovery seems to be
going smoothly, Teio-san.Copy !req
258. Yep. I can even run okay, now.Copy !req
259. How about you?Copy !req
260. Not for the time being.Copy !req
261. I see...Copy !req
262. You got hurt after the Kikkashou, right?Copy !req
263. Yes, when I was training for the Japan Cup.Copy !req
264. I see.Copy !req
265. Rice Shower passes her!
Rice Shower passes Bourbon!Copy !req
266. There's barely a single length gap
between them! Rice Shower has the lead!Copy !req
267. And she clears the goal!Copy !req

280. By losing the Kikkashou,Copy !req
281. I was unable to fulfill Master's
request that I win a Triple Crown.Copy !req
282. I may have been anxious to
redeem myself as a result.Copy !req
283. Expectations...Copy !req
284. My goal is to win the Triple Crown
undefeated, just like you!Copy !req
285. So I have to win!Copy !req
286. Right. I'll be looking forward to it.Copy !req
287. It was the same for me.Copy !req
288. If I hadn't gotten injured,
and had won the Triple Crown,Copy !req
289. I might've gotten to see the Prez smile.Copy !req
290. I can relate.Copy !req
291. I was hoping to see my Master's smile,
something I've never seen before.Copy !req
292. Sorry about your Triple Crown, Bourbon.Copy !req
293. Likewise, Teio-san.Copy !req
294. But because I was unable
to achieve a Triple Crown,Copy !req
295. I was able to find a new reason for racing.Copy !req
296. Rice Shower.Copy !req
297. Rice?Copy !req
298. Yes. The only horse girl to ever defeat me...Copy !req
299. The person who kept me
from reaching my dream.Copy !req
300. She may be the first competitor
I've felt I could call my rival.Copy !req

I'm not gonna do anything.Copy !req
313. Rice...Copy !req
314. B-Bourbon-san?Copy !req
315. You apparently don't intend
to run in the Tennoushou?Copy !req
316. You've gotta do something to convince
her to run in the Tennoushou, Bourbon.Copy !req
317. I bet she'll listen to you!Copy !req
318. Leave this to me. There is a method
I've learned from my Master.Copy !req
319. Okay!Copy !req
320. Rice...Copy !req
321. Y-Yes?Copy !req
322. Quit your bellyaching and run!Copy !req
323. I don't think she understood what I meant!Copy !req
324. Leave me alone, please!Copy !req
325. That's strange! Master usually
encourages me just like that!Copy !req
326. Never mind! Let's go after her!Copy !req
327. Use this!Copy !req
328. Rice, hold it!Copy !req
329. She's so slippery!Copy !req
330. Get back here!Copy !req

345. Rice?Copy !req
346. Nope. Have you, Helios?Copy !req
347. Sure haven't.Copy !req
348. We're looking for her.
Please let us know if you find her.Copy !req
349. 'Kay!Copy !req
350. Rice, huh?Copy !req
351. What's up? Something about her?Copy !req
352. You remember at the Kikkashou?Copy !req
353. Oh, she beat Bourbon! That was so hype!Copy !req
354. A hardcore race between
two strong horse girls...Copy !req
355. I so want to do something like that!Copy !req
356. How about with me? You wanna take me on?Copy !req
357. You bet I do!Copy !req
358. NGL, we're just gonna run like usual!Copy !req
359. I know, right?Copy !req
360. She doesn't want to run? Do you suppose
Rice-san has lost her confidence?Copy !req
361. I'm sure that's not it!Copy !req
362. Rice-chan's a really strong horse girl.Copy !req
363. When she locks in on her target,
she gets so focused!Copy !req
364. Although at the Kikkashou, I think
she was only looking at Bourbon-chan.Copy !req
365. Right, you've raced her a few
times yourself, haven't you?Copy !req
366. Yep! This is gonna be the seventh time.Copy !req
367. Y'know, she's kind of a big deal to me.Copy !req
368. I feel the same way.Copy !req
369. She demonstrated her strength
without a doubt at the Nikkei Sho.Copy !req
370. Tracen...Copy !req

379. What are you doing?Copy !req
380. I'm gonna try and win the Triple Crown!Copy !req
381. Not gonna happen! Because I'm gonna win it!Copy !req
382. Hey, don't get in my way!Copy !req
383. Yeah, that's right!Copy !req
384. Bourbon! You can win next time!Copy !req
385. Winning the Triple Crown would've
been cool, but you did a great job!Copy !req
386. I'm still rooting for you!
I love you, Bourbon!Copy !req
387. You did a good job, Tannhäuser!Copy !req
388. I can't do this anymore...Copy !req
389. Rice!Copy !req
390. We finally found her...Copy !req
391. You don't know when to give up.
Please, just leave me alone.Copy !req
392. You're the one who didn't give up, Rice!Copy !req
393. You never gave up during the Kikkashou!Copy !req
394. Don't talk to me about the Kikkashou!Copy !req
395. I just wanted people to accept me.Copy !req
396. I thought that if I could beat you,
Bourbon-san, that they would.Copy !req
397. That's why I tried so hard.Copy !req
398. But nobody wanted me to win.Copy !req
399. And when I did,Copy !req
400. they just got mad, and didn't accept me!Copy !req
401. I'm not like you two.Copy !req
402. I'm a heel.Copy !req
403. People hate me, boo me,
and I make them unhappy.Copy !req
404. Even though my name's meant to be a blessing...Copy !req
405. Even though I'm called Rice Shower.Copy !req
406. That's why I won't run anymore.Copy !req
407. Rice...Copy !req
408. Quit your bellyaching and run!Copy !req
409. How can you say that?Copy !req
410. Because I want you to run.Copy !req
411. I don't understand! How can you say
that after everything I told you?Copy !req
412. No one's happy if I run! Even when
I win, it's just a disappointment!Copy !req
413. There's no point in me running!Copy !req
414. So, why—Copy !req
415. Because you are my hero.Copy !req
416. I'm injured.Copy !req
417. Seriously injured.Copy !req
418. There have been times when I've
been overwhelmed with anxietyCopy !req
419. about whether I'd get to run again.Copy !req
420. I was unable to meet
Master's expectations.Copy !req
421. I even considered giving up on racing.Copy !req
422. Bourbon... I pushed you too hard.Copy !req
423. I'm sorry.Copy !req
424. But thanks to you, Rice, I never gave up.Copy !req
