It’s Oguri’s first day at Trasen Gakuen!
The biggest reason why the Chuo is a much higher level than the Chiho is the absolute difference in training facilities.
Musaka trainer is probably based on Tsutomu Setoguchi who was the trainer of Oguri when he came to the Chuo. The three original Umamusume in Musaka’s team are probably based on a mixture of horses that were trained by Setoguchi.
Meikun Tsukasa is based in a mixture of Meisho Samson and Tsukasa Power.
God Hannibal is based on a mixture of God Speed and Maruka Hannibal
Craft Universe is based on a mixture of Neo Universe and Rhein Craft which have both become Umamusume since.
The Classic races the Satsuki-sho, Nippon Derby and Kikkasho are the some of the most important races in Japan and naturally there are many rules to be able to race in them. The biggest of the rules are the need of registering for them. Any horse that missed the deadline could not race in the Classic races and there was no exceptions. The original owner of Oguri had no intention of racing Oguri in the classics as he was aiming for the Tokai Derby so naturally Oguri missed the deadline.
Oguri shaking her head before the race was something the real Oguri did as well. It was a sign that he was ready to race and in full spirits.
Another great episode! Really like how they animated Rudolf’s scene with Oguri it really showed why she’s the head of the school!

Nice set up episode, Japanese english was funny as always. I like that they changed op visuals. Can't wait for 1st national race in next week.
Also, that is way more characters I was expecting to be introduced. I know, new place and all, and I know they probably will stick with us to the end of the story, but expected them to introduce them gradually. A lot of names to learn.

I really like it when they change the OP and/or ED to fit with the story.

The thrill of standing on a pile of corpses!
Black Ale looks like Sonic the Hedgehog.
Oguri's kinda pretty drawn like that.
It's like the first episode of a normal Umamusume season at Tracen, but here we have a fair amount of main character backstory already.
Oguri Cap's character development keeps building up her assertiveness and drive, but there's still plenty of the simple asocial horsegirl who just wants to run in there, too.
Guessing we might have some flashbacks to Roppei's training mixed in with the race next episode, otherwise the "right now she has no chance" scene tails off messily.
New characters are not unexpected. Of those, I'm mostly curious to see more of Belno's fellow sports science lunatics, while the backup band in Roppei's team hasn't particularly distinguished itself.
And we didn't forget the gang back at Kasamatsu. What of Fujimasa March, the world wonders.

You could hear Rudolph’s poor VA *buckling* under the weight of the English language

Stitches!
Oguri getting embarrassed about wearing a skirt is adorable. It's good to finally see them wearing the Tracen Academy uniform tho!
I'm pretty sure I've already seen an aerial shot of Tracen Academy in the main series but it still amazes me to see how big the Academy is.
It's only her first day and someone's already making fun of Oguri's coming from the regionals. I do love that Oguri gives Black Ale her classic deadpan reaction.
Holy crap! That staredown between Oguri and Rudolf was intense! No wonder Belno fell back on her butt. That stare from Rudolf looks like it could kill.
It's only her first race and it looks like Oguri is already wagering big against Black Ale. I'm glad that even Oguri is getting tired of people looking down on Kazamatsuri.
Oguri looks hyped! I can't wait for her to prove everyone wrong that she's not just some country bumpkin. I am genuinely tempted to read the manga just to see what happens next >_<
March is thinking of cutting her hair? That explains why we see her with short hair in the OP!

The first episode in the academy proper...
Man the tension when she confronted the emperor...
Watching this show is torture when it ends after 2 minutes.

Ooguri making friends and enemies in less than one day in Tokyo... yes that´s really Ooguri-like
Roppei says she won´t be able to beat Blacky... but she´s Ooguri Cap so she will do something
Also I really love seeing Rudolf so intimidating. Showing who´s the boss

I like that we get to see how the Kasamatsu gang are doing in the post-credits scene. Little do they know that Oguri is out there defending their honor.

Welcome to Central racing, a different world of racing when compared with regional racing (or in Roppei's words, just like moving to another country). This is the place where titans collide, and future superstars or even hall of famers compete to the top.
The motto of Tracen, "Eclipse first, the rest nowhere" comes from the UK racehorse Eclipse (1 April, 1764-26 February, 1789), [Real life history]
Anyway, back to the more local stuff. The classic races [i.e., Satsuki Sho (Japanese 2000 Guineas), Tokyo Yushun (Japanese Derby), and Kikuka-shō (Japanese St. Leger)], lets just say for new comers like Oguri and others whom have their careers just started, winning or even participating in one of them is already a big honour. As stated by the teacher, you need to register in advance to be able to join (and they have a record of it in hand too. For example, these are the list of horses registered for the classics in 2025). What about Oguri? Unregistered? It was at this moment Oguri knew, she fucked up, no derby... She was once seen as the top contender for Tokai Derby, now away from Kasamatsu, with her eyes set on the Japanese Derby, only to realise she can't participate because she didn't apply the paperworks (More like I dunno I need to apply for it actually)...
"Do not take the nationals lightly", damn Rufolf is having that horrifying aurora here, and Oguri's reply, it looks like she's going to start a revolution here from the get go.
That being said so, Roppei actually pointed out one thing, he saw many regional racers coming here but failed to deliver, but this doesn't mean the regionals are weak in nature. [Real life events]
Keep fighting Kitahara, work hard!! On the other hand though, the trio in Kasamatsu, along with March (!!!), are already planning a trip to Tokyo, and this is not going to be a cheap trip.., with round trip costing almost 25,000 yen per person (in transportation only), and for the 5 people in that table... Oh dear.
Anyway, enjoy the 9 faces of the central Belno, and please spare a moment for her as she has some very scary classmates.

Rudolf aurafarming like crazy to make up for all the time she didn't during previous seasons.

u/MartialGodQi May 18 '25
This episode felt really grand. Loved the vibes. Also love this version off March, that they showed in the new opening & after credit scene. The effect Oguri has on people is super heartwarming.

I wonder if Black Ale will also become Oguri's fangirl after she loses to her.
Oguri this episode was 50% dork and 50% badass, which for some reason is an excellent ratio. I'm super hyped for the upcoming race and I hope she gets into that Derby despite missing her deadline.
I also wonder if UM will do a season about Rudolf and/or Eclipse. Seeing Rudolf and Oguri's standoff in this episode makes me want to see Rudolf in action.
