1. Coming over the hill, it's number

2. Number three, To-Car, is coming after her,Copy !req
3. along with Jewel Spinel on the inside of
the track and Divinity on the outside!Copy !req
4. The Japanese Derby!Copy !req
5. There's less than 200 meters to go!Copy !req
6. They're speeding up so much...Copy !req
7. Dia-chan, go for it!Copy !req
8. Win this, Dia.Copy !req
9. You'll secure the first Satono G1 victory!Copy !req
10. And now To-Car is closing the gap!Copy !req
11. The battle for the top is a dead heat
between number eight, Satono Diamond,Copy !req
12. and number three, To-Car, on the inside!Copy !req
13. It looks like To-Car might
have a slight edge.Copy !req
14. But Satono Diamond is gradually closing
the gap, like she's being pulled forward!Copy !req
15. It's Satono Diamond versus To-Car!Copy !req
16. Satono Diamond and To-Car!Copy !req
17. And they cross the goal together!Copy !req
18. Was the winner To-Car, or number eight, Satono
Diamond? They seemed just about tied!Copy !req
19. And number one, Divinity, was slightly
behind them in third place.Copy !req
20. It looks like...Copy !req
21. To-Car has won!Copy !req

great fight but came a step short!Copy !req

37. Episode 5
Proving OneselfCopy !req
38. I'm sorry, Dia-chan.Copy !req
39. If your horseshoe hadn't broken,
you definitely would've won.Copy !req
40. You shouldn't get into "what ifs"
when it comes to competition.Copy !req
41. But...Copy !req
42. It was only an eight centimeter difference.Copy !req
43. The Satono jinx...Copy !req
44. Something like "Satono horse
girls can't win G1 races," right?Copy !req
45. I don't like admitting it, but it's
easy to see where it comes from.Copy !req
46. In my case...Copy !req
47. And then in this year's
Satsukishou, with Dia...Copy !req
48. It's like God is actually trying
to keep us from winning.Copy !req
49. It's all right.Copy !req
50. I'm going to prove that jinx wrong...Copy !req
51. when I win the Kikkashou.Copy !req
52. Dia-chan...Copy !req
53. A heart that never gives in,
and a will that's unbreakable...Copy !req
54. Dia-chan really is amazing.Copy !req
55. Okay, my turn!Copy !req
56. That was your best time yet, Kita-chan!Copy !req
57. Really? All right!Copy !req
58. Your speed and stamina have
both leveled up nicely.Copy !req
59. It seems your training has borne fruit.Copy !req
60. Yeah.Copy !req
61. After the Spring Tennoushou,
that's two G1 victories,Copy !req
62. and your running is a lot more confident now.Copy !req
63. You might end up the star
of your generation, Kitasan.Copy !req
64. Who, me?Copy !req
65. Let's keep your momentum going and
bring home the Takarazuka Kinen!Copy !req
66. R-Right!Copy !req
67. The Takarazuka Kinen is my specialty,Copy !req
68. and since she's my apprentice,
this should be an easy win.Copy !req
69. Since when are you Kitasan's master?Copy !req
70. What happens if she starts being
awful at entering the gate?Copy !req
71. Where you headed, Kitasan?Copy !req
72. I'm gonna head out for my road work!Copy !req
73. She already ran so much,
but is still going...Copy !req
74. She seriously has no bottom to her stamina.Copy !req
75. Yeah.Copy !req
76. She made it over the wall after all.Copy !req
77. That's right.Copy !req
78. After the Spring Tennoushou
is the Takarazuka Kinen...Copy !req
79. I wonder how my running is doing.Copy !req
80. Hello!Copy !req
81. How are you?Copy !req
82. Excuse me, could you direct
me to the Hanshin Racecourse?Copy !req
83. Okay, okay!Copy !req
84. Okay, okay...Copy !req
85. Here!Copy !req
86. It's this way, then?Copy !req
87. Bye!Copy !req
88. Thank you ever so much.Copy !req
89. Have I gotten any stronger?Copy !req
90. I think I might have!Copy !req
91. The monster who was sidelined with
distal tibial fractures in both legsCopy !req
92. will resurface this spring, and will
soon return to domestic G1 races.Copy !req
93. We've got Duramente-san, coming off a raceCopy !req
94. where she made her aims for
the Takarazuka Kinen clear,Copy !req
95. along with Air Groove-san, a veteran runner
who has known her since an early age.Copy !req

special live interview!Copy !req
99. Duramente's gonna be at
the Takarazuka Kinen?Copy !req
100. For real?Copy !req
101. It's been nine months since
your unfortunate injury.Copy !req
102. Live Broadcast
Special interviewCopy !req
103. Double Crown Horse Girl
An Encounter with Duramente!Copy !req
104. And you demonstrated pretty clearly that
you're back by winning the Nakayama Kinen!Copy !req
105. After that came a race in
Dubai where, despite some trouble,Copy !req
106. you were able to challenge some
of the strongest horse girlsCopy !req
107. in Europe and come out in second place!Copy !req
108. That's an amazing result for your first
overseas excursion, Duramente-san!Copy !req
109. It was second place.Copy !req
110. What's that?Copy !req
111. It was second place. That's not amazing.Copy !req
112. Uh, but, still...Copy !req
113. Live Broadcast
Special interviewCopy !req
114. Double Crown Horse Girl
An Encounter with Duramente!Copy !req
115. I believe she's saying that racing
against the finest horse girlsCopy !req
116. from Europe was a very valuable experience,Copy !req
117. and that by winning second place,
she's feeling very confident.Copy !req
118. I-I see...Copy !req
119. Well, it looks like the Takarazuka Kinen
is your next choice for a race.Copy !req
120. What kind of running do
you have in store for allCopy !req
121. your domestic fans who are
looking forward to it?Copy !req
122. I'll win.Copy !req
123. Uh, well... is that all?Copy !req
124. I'll win.Copy !req
125. She's saying that she's looking forward
to putting out another dominant victoryCopy !req
126. with her further improved running.Copy !req
127. Out of all the horse girls
who my mother has instructed,Copy !req
128. Duramente has the most remarkable potential.Copy !req
129. I'm sure she'll put on a
race at the Takarazuka KinenCopy !req
130. that will surprise all the fans.Copy !req
131. I see. Well, I'm looking forward to it!Copy !req
132. Now, regarding the Takarazuka Kinen,Copy !req
133. it looks like the Kikkashou winner,
Kitasan Black,Copy !req
134. who has improved a fair bit while you were
recuperating, will also be running.Copy !req
135. Both of you have two G1 victories,Copy !req
136. and this will be a battle
of the generational rivals.Copy !req
137. Do you have any thoughts on that?Copy !req
138. I don't care who I'm racing against.Copy !req
139. She's saying the Takarazuka Kinen has
many talented horse girls running in it,Copy !req
140. which is why she's really anticipating it—Copy !req
141. These races are nothing more than stepping
stones to the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe.Copy !req
142. I intend to prove that I am so superlative,Copy !req
143. with superiority that is obvious to anyone,Copy !req
144. that the words "strong" and
"fast" aren't sufficient.Copy !req
145. Hey! Where are you going, Dura?Copy !req
146. The interview's not over yet!Copy !req
147. I'm heading back to train, Groovy Sis.Copy !req
148. D-Don't call me that when we're on camera!Copy !req
149. Hey, get back here!Copy !req
150. Uh... cut. Stop the camera!Copy !req
151. Did you hear that bit at the end?Copy !req
152. We'll be right backCopy !req
153. The Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe...
That sounds like Duramente, all right.Copy !req
154. This is gonna be good!Copy !req
155. Well, that was a pretty crazy interview.Copy !req
156. It was...Copy !req
157. I can't believe she said all other
races are stepping stones to theCopy !req
158. Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe.Copy !req
159. She did...Copy !req
160. I mean, I get where she's coming from!Copy !req
161. The Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe is one
of the biggest races in the world!Copy !req
162. I guess that's hard to understand
if you've never run in it!Copy !req
163. You're not gonna just take
all that, are you, Kitasan?Copy !req
164. She's right!Copy !req
165. You had better not lose to that rude girl!Copy !req
166. R-Right! I absolutely, definitely won't lose!Copy !req
167. Or so I'd like to say, but...Copy !req
168. Duramente-san really is strong.Copy !req
169. Yeah...Copy !req
170. At the Satsukishou, she was
kinda rough around the edges,Copy !req
171. but you could feel this kinda
unfathomable strength too.Copy !req
172. You could...Copy !req
173. And when her talents fully came
into bloom, she dominated the Derby.Copy !req
174. She did...Copy !req
175. Duramente-san didn't run in the
Kikkashou or Spring Tennoushou.Copy !req
176. I've never won against her before.Copy !req
177. But the person she beat
was last year's Kitasan.Copy !req
178. Am I right?Copy !req
179. That's right! You've gotten
way stronger, Kita-chan!Copy !req
180. You have.Copy !req
181. You've grown a full size since then.
You're practically a different person.Copy !req
182. You are.Copy !req
183. Check it!Copy !req

193. Seriously, since when is she your apprentice?Copy !req
194. What're you gonna do if she starts
running while making stupid faces?Copy !req
195. Eighty-two thousand votes... That's so many.Copy !req
196. Everyone's got high hopes for you.Copy !req
197. For Kitasan Black, who won the
Kikkashou and Spring Tennoushou.Copy !req
198. Everyone...Copy !req
199. Oh, what do I do? I didn't bring an umbrella.Copy !req
200. Oh, man... oh, man.Copy !req

203. Pretty DerbyCopy !req
204. W-Well...Copy !req
205. Doesn't look like it's letting up, huh?Copy !req
206. Yeah.Copy !req
207. I, uh... forgot my umbrella.Copy !req
208. You too, Duramente-san?Copy !req
209. Yeah.Copy !req
210. I guess we're in the same boat.Copy !req
211. So... I saw your interview.Copy !req
212. You're pretty amazing, Duramente-san.Copy !req
213. Saying that you'd prove your
superiority with such confidence...Copy !req
214. You're not... scared at all?Copy !req
215. Of like... losing, or not living
up to everyone's expectations?Copy !req
216. I've never thought about it.Copy !req
217. You really are amazing.Copy !req
218. Because I have a duty.Copy !req
219. My family has always pursuedCopy !req
220. a distant dream of taking on the
most extreme challenges.Copy !req
221. That's in my blood.Copy !req
222. At the end of my path of conquest
is proof that I am the strongest...Copy !req
223. the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe.Copy !req
224. My reason for being is to win there.Copy !req
225. Even if I lose, I can't afford to hesitate.Copy !req
226. I'm here to collect something I lost.Copy !req
227. I was unable to run in the Kikkashou.Copy !req
228. That's all.Copy !req
229. I am still the strongest of my generation.Copy !req
230. By beating the Kikkashou's winner,
I will prove that.Copy !req
231. And then I will take on the world,
and win the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe.Copy !req
232. Wanting to chase after a dream...Copy !req
233. A heart that never hesitates...Copy !req
234. Such a forthright, beautiful...
and strong person.Copy !req
235. Duramente-san entered the Takarazuka
Kinen to race against me!Copy !req
236. But...Copy !req
237. I've eaten and trained a lot to
get stronger this year, too.Copy !req
238. So I hope you don't think it'll be easy!Copy !req
239. Who are you?Copy !req
240. Excuse me?Copy !req
241. Who are you?Copy !req
242. Uh... do you not know who I am?Copy !req
243. I don't.Copy !req
244. K-Kitasan Black! I'm the
Kikkashou winner! That's me!Copy !req
245. I see.Copy !req
246. Duramente-san!Copy !req
247. I'll show you the way I race!Copy !req
248. The way that Kitasan Black, the
horse girl who'll beat you, runs!Copy !req
249. See you at the Takarazuka Kinen!Copy !req
250. I was totally beneath her notice!Copy !req
251. So I'll hit her with everything I've got!Copy !req
252. Everything that's changed
about me since last year!Copy !req
253. Dia.Copy !req
254. I won't let you face this alone!Copy !req
255. The Satono jinx... next time, I'll break it!Copy !req
256. I'll show them...Copy !req
257. the moment that I seize a grand victory.Copy !req
258. To my sisters!Copy !req
259. Here they are, proud to be chosen by
fans and dedicated to their dreams.Copy !req
260. We've got a blue sky in the early summerCopy !req
261. here at the Hanshin Racecourse,
with 17 horse girls waiting.Copy !req
262. It's the grand prix race that ends the first
half of the year, the Takarazuka Kinen!Copy !req
263. And it's beginning soon!Copy !req
264. Duramente and Kitasan Black will be colliding,
both of them having won two G1 races.Copy !req
265. Kitasan Black was in first
place in the fan vote,Copy !req
266. but Duramente is the favorite to win today!Copy !req
267. It's been a year since
their last confrontation.Copy !req
268. It should be interesting to see
how they've both grown as racers.Copy !req
269. The course condition is
looking good and soft.Copy !req
270. Yeah. Kitasan's power and stamina will
definitely give her an advantage.Copy !req
271. But she's up against a real monster...Copy !req
272. Don't get psyched out, Kitasan!Copy !req
273. The festival girl, Kitasan Black,
and the returning monster, Duramente.Copy !req
274. Which one will come out on top?Copy !req
275. They run now carrying the fans' dreams,Copy !req
276. with their own dreams of taking on the
world here at the Takarazuka Kinen!Copy !req
277. And off they go!Copy !req
278. There's already a fight for first place!Copy !req
279. Kitasan Black is off to a good start.Copy !req
280. She's in the lead and setting the pace!Copy !req
281. Okay!Copy !req
282. They're entering the first home stretch.Copy !req
283. You can hear the cheers of this
crowd greeting them on their return!Copy !req
284. Kitasan Black!Copy !req
285. Go!Copy !req
286. Kitasan Black is in the lead.Copy !req
287. Fighting for second place
is number four, Two-and-Lonely,Copy !req
288. number 10, Canon Mille-feuille,
and number five, Cheval Grand!Copy !req
289. Duramente is towards the back of
the middle, fourth from last place.Copy !req
290. Satono Crown is behind her as
they round the first corner!Copy !req
291. Kitasan is on the run.
Duramente is laying in wait.Copy !req
292. We're seeing a real contrast in their styles.Copy !req
293. In first place, Kitasan Black
has a two-length lead.Copy !req
294. Coming around the second corner,
they're entering a straightaway.Copy !req
295. Second place is between number four,
Two-And-Lonely, and number 10, Canon Mille-feuille,Copy !req
296. with number 11, Nanpo Fox on the
outside, and then Cheval Grand!Copy !req
297. Towards the back of the
mid-section is where the monsterCopy !req
298. aiming to prey on the world,
Duramente, awaits!Copy !req
299. Satono Crown is behind her!Copy !req
300. They've crossed 1,000 meters in
the second lap in 59.1 seconds!Copy !req
301. That's under a minute!Copy !req
302. Seems kinda fast.Copy !req
303. It does.Copy !req
304. But...Copy !req
305. Kitasan should be able to keep
going through to the end now.Copy !req
306. As the race enters its second half,Copy !req
307. will Kitasan Black be able to
stay out in front to the end?Copy !req
308. During the Derby, I could
only see in front of me...Copy !req
309. But now I can tell.Copy !req
310. I can feel the others gaining on me...Copy !req
311. And hear Duramente-san's footsteps!Copy !req
312. Kitasan Black has the lead by one length!Copy !req
313. But entering the fourth corner, number
16, River Light, is moving up!Copy !req
314. While Duramente remains
in the middle of the pack!Copy !req
315. I'm not out of breath...
my legs feel light...Copy !req
316. I'm going to show them how I run—and win!Copy !req
317. Now!Copy !req
318. It's on!Copy !req
319. And exiting the last corner,
they enter the straight!Copy !req
320. Kitasan Black is in front
with a two-lengths lead!Copy !req
321. Second place is number seven, Bravo Day,Copy !req
322. with number 16, River Light, on the outside!Copy !req
323. After them is Cheval Grand, with Satono
Crown accelerating on the far edge!Copy !req
324. Go, Kita-chan!Copy !req
325. Push through to the end!Copy !req
326. There are 200 meters left!Copy !req
327. They begin to ascend a hill!Copy !req
328. And... here she comes!Copy !req
329. Dashing through the pack is the monstrous
Duramente, aiming for the lead!Copy !req
330. She's coming!Copy !req
331. I have to stay in front!Copy !req
332. There's Duramente! But is she struggling?Copy !req
333. Kitasan Black maintains her lead!Copy !req
334. She's fast.Copy !req
335. But I will pass her!Copy !req
336. Kitasan Black in front!Copy !req
337. But Duramente is barreling ever closer!Copy !req
338. I'll prove I'm the strongest!Copy !req
339. Who?Copy !req
340. River Light comes flying in!Copy !req
341. It's River Light!Copy !req
342. The victory doesn't go to the festival
or the monster, but to River Light!Copy !req
343. She managed to pass Kitasan Black,
who was on the inside,Copy !req
344. along with Duramente on the outside!Copy !req
345. This grand prix has been won
by number 16, River Light!Copy !req
346. I did it! I did it!Copy !req
347. I really, really did it!Copy !req
348. I lost again...Copy !req
349. Duramente-san?Copy !req
350. Duramente-san, are you okay?Copy !req
351. Uh... let's get you to the doctor's office...Copy !req
352. It's fine.Copy !req
353. But—Copy !req
354. It's fine!Copy !req
355. You really are amazing, Duramente-san.Copy !req
356. You managed to pass me again.Copy !req
357. I completely lost.Copy !req
358. I won!Copy !req
359. You were strong.Copy !req
360. You forced me to run the way I did.Copy !req
361. I thought you were just a stepping stone,
but there was a real point to this.Copy !req
362. I'm glad I ran in this Takarazuka Kinen.Copy !req
363. I actually won!Copy !req
364. I'm going to get even stronger.Copy !req
365. And next time, I will dominate you,
Kitasan Black.Copy !req
366. Duramente-san...Copy !req
367. Well, me too!Copy !req
368. I'm gonna get way, way stronger, too!Copy !req
369. And next time, I'm not
gonna lose, Duramente-san!Copy !req
370. Nah...Copy !req
371. I'm not gonna lose, Dura-chan!Copy !req
372. Thank you!Copy !req
373. Dura... chan?Copy !req
374. Yeah! Dura-chan!Copy !req
375. All right.Copy !req
376. Yes!Copy !req
377. Thanks for rooting for me!Copy !req
378. Damn...Copy !req
379. They were second and third place.
What could they be talking about?Copy !req
