1. Kitasan Black remains at
the front of the pack.
Copy !req
2. She's running and running up the hill!
Copy !req
3. With 200 meters to go,
All Haiyu is chasing her!
Copy !req
4. Go!
Copy !req
5. Sounds of Earth is also moving up!
Copy !req
6. But she remains in the lead! Kitasan Black!
Copy !req
7. Sounds of Earth is in second!
Copy !req
8. Sounds of Earth!
Copy !req
9. Third place, Cheval Grand, is closing in!
Copy !req
10. But in first, it's Kitasan Black!
Copy !req
11. And Kitasan Black outruns them all!
Copy !req
12. I did it! I won!
Copy !req
13. Kita-chan!
Copy !req
14. This race was truly my idea of eccitazione!
Copy !req
15. Second place in a G1 race! Nice!
Copy !req
16. Impressive results.
Copy !req
17. It really is something.
Copy !req
18. Uh, it is...
Copy !req
19. Man, I've got nothing left to teach her, huh?
Copy !req

Copy !req

the Japan Cup, no less.
Copy !req
26. It's cool that you won on
your biggest stage yet!
Copy !req
27. Okay, the Arima Kinen comes next!
Copy !req
28. It'll be payback for last time!

Our Arima Kinen
Copy !req
32. Who'd you vote for in the Arima?
Copy !req
33. Arima Kinen Fan Vote
Copy !req
34. Kitasan Black and Cheval Grand.
Copy !req
35. Yeah, those two are the top
choices in the senior class.
Copy !req
36. But in the classics group,
it's gotta be Satono Diamond!
Copy !req
37. She was amazing at the Kikkashou!
Copy !req
38. She's always had potential, but
she had that string of bad luck.
Copy !req
39. They're both the representatives
for their generations,
Copy !req
40. so seeing them against each
other should be something.
Copy !req
41. Third place in the Japan Cup.
You almost had it.
Copy !req
42. You put up a great fight, though! Congrats!
Copy !req
43. Well, sure...
Copy !req
44. Y'know, it feels like it's been a
while since the three of us met up.
Copy !req
45. The other day we were celebrating my
win, but Chevacchi couldn't make it.
Copy !req
46. I had other plans...
Copy !req
47. You did?
Copy !req
48. It's wonderful that you won the last
tiara at the Shuukashou, Vivlos.
Copy !req
49. Well, I can't be like you,
Copy !req
50. getting beat by Gentil-san and ending
up in second place all the time!
Copy !req
51. Oh, you want to go there?
Copy !req
52. The Arima is next for you, right, Cheval?
Copy !req
53. Yeah, I guess.
Copy !req
54. You should get your first G1
win at the Arima, Chevacchi!
Copy !req
55. It'd be nice if all three
of us could have G1 wins.
Copy !req
56. Sure would!
Copy !req
57. Let's eat something tasty today
and then get back to practice.
Copy !req
58. My older sister got second place
in all the Triple Tiara races,
Copy !req
59. and has won the Victoria Mile
multiple times.
Copy !req
60. Yeah! Let's do it!
Copy !req
61. Even my younger sister, Vivlos,
won a G1 race before me.
Copy !req
62. Wow...
Copy !req
63. I'm the only one with nothing to show yet.
Copy !req
64. I can't lose again!
Copy !req
65. Chevacchi, if you're not
gonna eat yours, I'll take it.
Copy !req
66. Not to anyone else!
Copy !req
67. Fukunaga Shopping District
Copy !req
68. Okay, and that's that!
Copy !req
69. Thanks again, Kita-chan.
Copy !req
70. Feels kinda bad, making a horse girl with
three G1 wins help us out like that.
Copy !req
71. Oh, come on, don't worry about that!
Copy !req
72. Hey, Kita-chan! Congrats on the Japan Cup!
Copy !req
73. Thank you so much!
Copy !req
74. I voted for you in the fan poll, Kita-chan.
Copy !req
75. Good luck at the Arima!
Copy !req
76. Right! I get to run with Dia-chan this
year, so I'm really looking forward to it!
Copy !req
77. We'll all have to be there
to root for you again.
Copy !req
78. We're looking forward to the Winning
Concert after the race, too!
Copy !req
79. Whether I win or lose...
Copy !req
80. Well, no, I don't intend to lose,
Copy !req
81. so I'll make sure it's the
best performance possible!
Copy !req
82. Yo, Kita-chan from the festival!
Copy !req
83. Yo, Kita-chan from the festival!
Copy !req
84. Yo, Kita-chan from the festival!
Copy !req
85. Yo, Kita-chan from the festival!
Copy !req
86. Yo, Kita-chan from the festival!
Copy !req
87. Yeah! I'll make sure it's a memorable one!
Copy !req
88. Yo, it's a Kita-chan festival!
Copy !req
89. Yo!
Copy !req
90. Goal
Copy !req
91. Kita-san looks pretty good.
Copy !req
92. She does.
Copy !req
93. Yeah. I'm expecting even better results
at the Arima than she had last year.
Copy !req
94. That's something to look forward to.
Copy !req
95. Kitasan looks fearsome.
Copy !req
96. Yes.
Copy !req
97. There...
Copy !req
98. Kita-chan!
Copy !req
99. You doing anything after this?
Copy !req
100. Oh, not really.
Copy !req
101. In that case, come hang with me for a bit.
Copy !req
102. Tasty!
Copy !req
103. Delicious!
Copy !req
104. You seem to be doing pretty well.
Copy !req
105. Yeah! I've been feeling so excited.
Copy !req
106. I must be excited to be running
at the Arima Kinen with Dia-chan.
Copy !req
107. I see.
Copy !req
108. It's all because of you, y'know.
Copy !req
109. Me?
Copy !req
110. Yeah.
Copy !req
111. Your Arima Kinen win was incredible. Truly.
Copy !req
112. You grabbed everyone's attention,
and when you crossed the goal,
Copy !req
113. it was like the entire track
started to light up and shine...
Copy !req
114. I saw it in that moment.
Copy !req
115. It was the same kind of stage that
could create a star like my Dad...
Copy !req
116. Glamorous and beautiful,
like something out of a dream
Copy !req
117. that grabs the heart and never lets go.
Copy !req
118. So, we made a promise.
Copy !req
119. That one day, we'd run together
on a big stage like that.
Copy !req
120. That we'd give it everything we had in an
amazing race like the one we saw that day.
Copy !req
121. Dia-chan's been my friend
for such a long time now.
Copy !req
122. Whenever only one of us had something,
we'd split it between us.
Copy !req
123. But there's no sharing first place
at Arima, and we can't split it, either.
Copy !req
124. The same Arima Kinen I was
frustrated at last year.
Copy !req
125. Since then, I've trained a
whole bunch, I've worked hard,
Copy !req
126. I've won, and I've built myself up.
Copy !req
127. When we were little, I could never beat
Dia-chan in footraces or at jumping rope.
Copy !req
128. But this time, in this race,
I'm going to win!
Copy !req
129. Looks like you're doing fine.
Copy !req
130. I was wondering,
Copy !req
131. since being in good shape doesn't mean
you're doing great mentally, sometimes.
Copy !req
132. Teio-san...
Copy !req
133. Good luck, Kita-chan.
Copy !req
134. Right!
Copy !req
135. I'd like to win the Arima Kinen
and start being considered
Copy !req
136. the star horse girl of my generation!
Copy !req
137. Maybe I'm getting carried away?
Copy !req
138. Hong Kong G1 Victory Celebration
Copy !req
139. Hong Kong G1 Victory Celebration
Copy !req
140. I didn't think your first G1 victory
would be in an overseas race.
Copy !req
141. Yeah, I thought the same thing. But...
Copy !req
142. After winning, I finally understood.
Copy !req
143. Just how significant and
joyful it is to win a G1 race.
Copy !req
144. Crown-chan...
Copy !req
145. And maybe that's thanks to you, Dia.
Copy !req
146. When you won the Kikkashou,
you broke the Satono jinx.
Copy !req
147. It's not like that...
Copy !req
148. Lately, a lot of the other Satono
girls have been doing well, right?
Copy !req
149. And some of them are talking about
you creating a whole new jinx.
Copy !req
150. I guess I'll have to disprove that one next.
Copy !req
151. Still, thank you, Dia.
Copy !req
152. The fact is, your efforts at the
Kikkashou definitely lit a fire in me.
Copy !req
153. It's fine, Crown-chan...
Copy !req
154. I could say the same thing to you.
Copy !req
155. I want to be like you, too.
Copy !req
156. I'm thinking of taking on
some global races next year.
Copy !req
157. So, in this Arima Kinen...
Copy !req
158. There's someone I absolutely need to beat.
Copy !req
159. You mean Kitasan?
Copy !req
160. You mentioned how you promised
each other to race at the Arima
Copy !req
161. when you were little.
Copy !req
162. That's a big part of it. But...
Copy !req
163. By winning against the person
I think is the strongest right now,
Copy !req
164. I'll prove I'm the best in Japan.
Copy !req
165. Then I can move onto representing
the country as I pursue
Copy !req
166. ultimate glory for the Satono family.
Copy !req
167. With my own hands.
Copy !req
168. Dia...
Copy !req
169. Umamusume
Copy !req
170. Pretty Derby
Copy !req
171. Looking good, Earth-chan!
Copy !req
172. No problems here. I'm feeling
as leggiero as can be!
Copy !req
173. So, you think you can win the Arima?
Copy !req
174. It won't be a problem, Mademoiselle Nature.
Copy !req
175. I can guarantee you this:
Copy !req
176. I will run in a fashion comparable
to Gold Ship's spectacular performance!
Copy !req
177. Golshi-san got eighth place
last year, didn't she?
Copy !req
178. That's no good!
Copy !req
179. Yes, but eroicamente!
Copy !req
180. I have no idea what that means,
but you seem confident!
Copy !req
181. It's Kitasan Black!
Copy !req
182. Kitasan seems to have a
lot of momentum as well.
Copy !req
183. This could be her fourth G1 win.
Copy !req
184. Yep, she's real strong.
Copy !req
185. You can tell, 'cuz I said so!
Copy !req
186. Her growth since the spring has been crazy.
Copy !req
187. That is true...
Copy !req
188. Nature-sensei!
Copy !req
189. I hope I can get more advice later!
Copy !req
190. Sensei?
Copy !req
191. Then she's...
Copy !req
192. Kitasan Black's sensei?
Copy !req
193. That's amazing!
Copy !req
194. How come you're her sensei, Nature?
Copy !req
195. Don't ask me.
Copy !req
196. Man, Kitasan is pushing too hard.
Copy !req
197. It's almost time to race, Dia-chan.
Copy !req
198. It's almost time, Kita-chan.
Copy !req
199. Dia-chan, who always followed
behind me when we were little.
Copy !req
200. Kita-chan, who would always take my
hand to show me all kinds of things.
Copy !req
201. Dia-chan, who's so talented, strong,
pretty, and cool. That's why...
Copy !req
202. The stage is set, Kita-chan.
Copy !req
203. I'm gonna win!
Copy !req
204. I'm going to win!
Copy !req
205. Hey, you still awake?
Copy !req
206. Yeah, I am.
Copy !req
207. Needing to sleep but being unable to...
reminds me of the night before a field trip.
Copy !req
208. That reminds me of the trip
where I dropped my lunch,
Copy !req
209. and then you split yours with me.
Copy !req
210. Did that happen?
Copy !req
211. We can't share the grand prize, though.
Copy !req
212. Yeah.
Copy !req
213. Dia-chan, y'know... I've always
thought you were really amazing.
Copy !req
214. Even the things I started first, you would
always catch up and then surpass me.
Copy !req
215. You've always been so talented...
Copy !req
216. and you're kinda like a little sister,
but so cool and strong.
Copy !req
217. And now I get to race against
you! I'm really excited.
Copy !req
218. So am I.
Copy !req
219. You always work so hard, Kita-chan,
Copy !req
220. and you're always so cheerful and smiling,
and you make other people happy.
Copy !req
221. It makes me think about
how strong you must be.
Copy !req
222. Dia-chan...
Copy !req
223. We had better get some sleep. Good night.
Copy !req
224. Yeah. Good night.
Copy !req
225. Dia-chan?
Copy !req
226. Just a dream?
Copy !req
227. Wait, what time is it?
Copy !req
228. What a relief...
Copy !req
229. Huh? Where is she?
Copy !req
230. I'm going on ahead
Dia
Copy !req
231. I guess the race has already
kinda started, hasn't it, Dia-chan?
Copy !req
232. Okay!
Copy !req
233. So cold...
Copy !req
234. As a chilly wind blows,
Copy !req
235. so too do impassioned ambitions
rise above the Nakayama Racecourse.
Copy !req
236. It's that time of year again:
the Arima Kinen.
Copy !req
237. This should be a heck of a race.
Copy !req
238. What kind of story will we see unfold
at the last grand prix of the year?
Copy !req
239. There are so many people in attendance.
Copy !req
240. Enough that it feels warm,
even though it's December.
Copy !req
241. Yeah!
Copy !req
242. Here we go...
Copy !req
243. They're coming out.
Copy !req
244. In the fan vote before the race,
Kitasan Black came in first.
Copy !req
245. But Satono Diamond is the
favorite to win it, apparently.
Copy !req
246. Who are you rooting for?
Copy !req
247. You're seriously asking? You should know.
Copy !req
248. Kitasan Black
Copy !req
249. Kitasan Black
Copy !req
250. Satono Diamond
Copy !req
251. Satono Diamond
Copy !req
252. It was a silly question.
Copy !req
253. I'd say all attention has to be on these two.
Copy !req
254. Correct.
Copy !req
255. After her long-awaited G1
victory at the Kikkashou,
Copy !req
256. she's earned a reputation as the strongest
among the classics group, Satono Diamond!
Copy !req
257. Versus the winner of the previous year's
Kikkashou, with three G1 wins to her name,
Copy !req
258. Kitasan Black, defending her
position in the senior class!
Copy !req
259. The final grand prix of the year...
Copy !req
260. Which I suppose makes this
an air on the string of G.
Copy !req
261. I can't run another pathetic race.
Copy !req
262. Not in front of them. Never again.
Copy !req
263. The race is just about to begin.
Copy !req
264. Dia-chan.
Copy !req
265. Dia-chan, let's have...
Copy !req
266. Let's have a good race, fair and square!
Copy !req
267. I'm going to win, Kitasan Black.
Copy !req
268. Dia-chan's really focused...
Copy !req
269. I'd better be, too.
Copy !req
270. How do these 100,000 cheers
Copy !req
271. resonate in the ears of the horse
girls as they head to the starting line?
Copy !req
272. They continue to enter their gates.
Copy !req
273. What kind of race—what kind of drama are
we about to see unfold at the Arima Kinen?
Copy !req
274. And they're off.
Copy !req
275. Kitasan Black is running on
the inside after a good start.
Copy !req
276. All Haiyu is following her
lead, running next to her.
Copy !req
277. Go!
Copy !req
278. In the struggle for first place,
Read Fantasy is pushing hard early.
Copy !req
279. Kitasan Black is right behind her.
Copy !req
280. Satono Diamond is in the middle of the pack,
Copy !req
281. but you can see her green
racing dress moving up.
Copy !req
282. And the horse girls are greeted
with 100,000 cheers
Copy !req
283. as they round the fourth corner of the
first lap, now in the first home stretch.
Copy !req
284. Read Fantasy is in the lead, with Kitasan
Black uncontested in second place,
Copy !req
285. followed by All Haiyu and Great House.
Copy !req
286. Listen to that...
Copy !req
287. That's the Arima for you.
Copy !req
288. For real.
Copy !req
289. Not bad, but don't fall for it, Kitasan.
Copy !req
290. As they enter the first corner,
Copy !req
291. the runners seem to be quietly
taking stock of the situation.
Copy !req
292. The first 1,000 meters were
covered in 61 seconds,
Copy !req
293. and Read Fantasy is running out
in front in sprightly fashion.
Copy !req
294. Six to seven lengths behind her is the
number one runner, Kitasan Black.
Copy !req
295. Is this too fast?
Copy !req
296. No, I should be able to handle it now!
Copy !req
297. And now, as if she's marked Kitasan Black,
Satono Diamond moves up into third place.
Copy !req
298. Number six, Sounds of Earth,
was second place in last year's race.
Copy !req
299. Earth!
Copy !req
300. And number 14, Cheval Grand,
is also on the move.
Copy !req
301. You can do it!
Copy !req
302. Going into the third corner, there's
less than 600 meters left in the race.
Copy !req
303. I can do this, I can do this, now's the time!
Copy !req
304. There's very little space between
first and second place now.
Copy !req
305. Kitasan Black has closed in to just
about half a length's distance!
Copy !req
306. She is steadily gaining ground!
Copy !req
307. She's gonna try to pass?
But it's looking good!
Copy !req
308. There you go, come on!
Copy !req
309. Keep it going!
Copy !req
310. Don't let 'em pass you!
Copy !req
311. You can do it, Kita-chan.
Copy !req
312. Rounding the fourth corner
and into the final straight!
Copy !req
313. And 100,000 cheering voices once
again rumble across the turf of Nakayama.
Copy !req
314. Read Fantasy seems to be struggling.
Copy !req
315. Kitasan Black's lead is growing!
Copy !req
316. And as if signaled by
Kitasan Black, All Haiyu,
Copy !req
317. Satono Diamond, and Cheval Grand
start moving up!
Copy !req
318. The most popular horse girls are
now all pushing their way forward!
Copy !req
319. There! The goal!
Copy !req
320. Kitasan Black is going for it!
She's begun her last spurt!
Copy !req
321. Go!
Copy !req
322. Will she be able to turn Nakayama
into a festival this year?
Copy !req
323. Go!
Copy !req
324. But she's not gaining much!
Copy !req
325. The group near the front
isn't letting her get away!
Copy !req
326. Is Kitasan Black struggling?
Satono Diamond is making her way up!
Copy !req
327. She's here! But—
Copy !req
328. Kitasan Black pushes again!
Copy !req
329. Keep going!
Copy !req
330. She always passes me, but not today!
Copy !req
331. Satono Diamond is moving up!
Copy !req
332. She's on the tail of Kitasan Black again!
Copy !req
333. All Haiyu is hanging on too!
Copy !req
334. But there's Satono Diamond!
Copy !req
335. We're looking at a three-way battle
between the top horse girls!
Copy !req
336. Keep going!
Copy !req
337. Go for it!
Copy !req
338. Keep going, keep going, keep going!
Copy !req
339. I'm going for it!
Copy !req
340. Can she make it? Will she
make it? Did she make it?
Copy !req
341. On the outside, and just barely!
Copy !req
342. It's Satono Diamond!
Copy !req
343. Satono Diamond comes out on
top in this climactic clash!
Copy !req
344. She's demonstrated ability that will make
her really shine in the senior class!
Copy !req
345. Eighth place, eh? Such a sweet melody.
Copy !req
346. Eighth place! She tried hard!
Copy !req
347. Congratulations, Dia-chan.
Copy !req
348. Thanks, Kita-chan!
Copy !req
349. You were great. I mean, really!
Copy !req
350. Yeah, so were you!
Copy !req
351. Guess I couldn't beat you after all!
Copy !req
352. I was pretty desperate too, y'know.
Copy !req
353. Since I've been chasing you
this entire time, Kita-chan.
Copy !req
354. I see...
Copy !req
355. Let's do a good job at the Winning Concert!
Copy !req
356. I told the folks from the market
I'd put on a great show for them.
Copy !req
357. Sure.
Copy !req
358. We've never been on stage
together like this before, huh?
Copy !req
359. Yeah, it's kinda nerve-wracking.
Copy !req
360. Me too.
Copy !req
361. Y'know, they say if you write the
kanji for "festival" on your hand—
Copy !req
362. Kita-chan, it's starting.
Copy !req
363. Yeah!
Copy !req
364. It was a good race, but...
Copy !req
365. I'm seeing her from behind again.
Copy !req
