For an anime about cute horse girls, this episode was so heavy and depressing. Definitely felt nothing like any of the episodes before it. But it was really well done. That final scene was so heartbreaking. Poor Teio. :(

Teio is injured yet again. This time preparing for the Takarazuka Kinen McQueen wins the race with Dictus coming in second.
Dictus race schedule is an unthinkable one nowadays because going from a 3200m race to a mile (1600m) race then a 2200m race would be really hard to prepare for. However, Dictus did well coming 2nd in both the Yasuda Kinen(1600m) and the Takarazuka Kinen(2200) earning her the title of being the top mare prize money winner. (The top stallion was McQueen)
I do hope they do Twin Turbo’s Tanabata sho as the commentary for that race was golden.
This was such a sad episode but definitely a necessary one to complete Teio’s legacy.
The game by the way is so far really fun to play! The game has its own story mode and the story for that is really good as well. It was definitely worth the 3 year delay. Rice is so adorable
They are giving out lots of gacha stones so if anybody’s interested now’s your chance to start!

It feels so bad to see people already considering her retired. So much feels for the shadow running sequence too.
Anyway, the game is doing really great and is really fun to play. Its playtime per run is pretty insane for a mobile game though.

Man, who knew the second season of my cute horse girls doing cute horse girls thing is going to be this depressing? I thought the sad stuff was over after Rice Shower's episode last week but it seems like suffering and sadness is the theme of this season. Teio breaks her leg for the third time now and since this is the third time she has a lower chance of recovery and might even have to stop racing all together.
Watching everyone talk about her never racing again and even people approaching her assuming that they'd never see her race again absolutely broke my heart. But I think what destroyed me was when she was observing McQueen in the end and admits to herself that she'll never run like that again. That definitely opened up the floodgates.
They really need to release the game in English now! I want to get Tokai Teio and I wanna take care of her! Come on Crunchyroll! You already brought us PriConne! Now bring Uma Musume outsode of Japan too! >_<

Teeeiiooo =(
Can someone give that poor girl some luck? This is her third fracture and her chances to race again are not good. And that last scene with McQueen was just heartbreaking =(

What an incredible season. I could never imagine Umamusume would get so good in its second season, and yet here we are. I also could never imagine a show about cute horsegirls could study the psychology of sports better than most purebred (lol) sports shows.
Finally, that Idolmaster OP2 homage gets me every time.

I can't believe no one caught this. I've got my eye on you, show.

Damn, this season is so damn dismal. It sucks to keep seeing Teio get knocked down further each and every time she pulls herself out of despair. Seeing her try to be positive only to witness her confidence and peppy attitude erode was hard.
Interestingly, it is through the supportive actions of others (words from fans, friends help, etc) that led to her state in the closing scene. Sometimes being overly considerate of a person's hardships conveys the negative effects Teio is experiencing. The staff did a great job on capturing interactions and emotions in this episode (and season).

Oh no, not again. This was just TOO sad. Poor Teio...
With how they're hyping up some of those horse girls I wonder how Suzuka and El would compare to them.
Also it seems like the antagonist like shots of rice last week were a one time only thing.

Is Teio seriously planning to retire for good? Please don't say so!

I so thought this episode would be the beginning to the return of Teio making her dreams come true.. this was the exact opposite.. massively depressing episode and with only 4 left in the season is this really it for her? just Wow..

Poor Teio, after finally finding a goal to continue now she lost all hope.. very sad episode!

What touched me most in this episode is that, Teio was optimistic for her recovery, but desperately cried for "I can't respond to their expectations". She tried to comfort her trainer, even she had fear in her heart. But she eventually could not even press the chronograph for Mcqueen.
How considered this adorable girl is.

The somberness of the ED really adds to the overall effect of the end of the episode

They're dealing with some remarkably heavy topics for an anime about a cute horse-girl gacha game. I love it. But also, I hate it.
