| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Oh man, this episode is tense. Watching McQueen and Teiou's scenes under the dark sky was tough. Especially for McQueen, she's suffering mentally inside and couldn't hold back her tears. They really pushed the character relationship between the two this episode. And to be honest, I thin McQueen needs all the emotional support she could get. |
 |
| No way... After Teio's injury McQueen got a serious injury now... Cruel. Only four days left until the final race. But I have faith in McQueen, she will fight until the end also for Teio's sake... But it might her final race? Please don't McQueen cry again... It hurts so much when you cannot make your promise come true. Oh boi. Last epsiode will tell us how it will end, I hope for a miracle end. |
 |
| Honestly if there is one thing this season has to much of it's drama. Everytime you think things are going well one of the girls gets injured again and i think it's coming at the cost of what this anime could have been. Let's just hope the ending goes well and we have a nice ending. Still if one thing is good it's the bond between Teiou ad McQueen i like watching those two together. |
| Teio's recouperation under Trainer and McQueen is as always, nice and fun to watch. The fortune teller stuff...a side fun interest though. Also, the Kikkashou with more of BNW's cameos, their screentime may not be much, but it's also nice to see how far they've come from the ONA in performance values. YABAI...after Teio's dramatic fall from grace, now it's McQueen's turn to earn an injury...NOT GOOD AT ALL. A suspensory ligament tear on any human leg is a serious case, even more disastrous than what Teio went through, this will indefinitely seal the racing fate of McQueen for better or for worse, ending a long-running career. The art of pursuing rivals, Teio could do to McQueen, but the same could not be said for the return favour. Forget about the Fall Tennoushou in 4 days, the Mejiro family expectations and everyone rooting for her, it's all but done. The crying desperation look on McQueen's face is 10 times worse than fate. Hopefully there's a way for McQueen to come back with a miracle, not without Teio to twist fate and align each other once again. "Miracles can happen when people wish and strive for them. I'm sure of that." So onward Teio, win the Arima Kinen for McQueen. Hoping for a miraculous ending next week. |
 |
| Question: How many injuries happen in this season? When things gonna be good, the injury always happens. This season has too much drama with an injury. What a tense and dramatic episode. McQueen got an injury and it's incurable. The moments when McQueen tries to run and fall down were very sad. And it's was became sadder when she cries out loud and falls into despair. But, she got Teio, the one who was encouraged by her before. This time will Teio will be the one who encourages and help McQueen back. I hope there will be a nice ending and McQueen can runs together with Teio again. Hope the miracle to be real. |

| So I was expecting two G1 wins for Teio for the remainder of this season, but the drama overload extinguished any chances of that happening, unlike S1, it looks like we will not be seeing legitimate races for the final EP as those two G1 wins made Teio's comeback truly spectacular. Honestly I prefer S1, as it focuses on Spe's actual races which is the whole point of this anime, this season just missed the point. |
| That's so sad for McQueen, really she has no luck, just like Teiou, but at least the scene at the end was beautiful once again, they are a great duo, probably one of my favorite from this franchise |
 |
| They writers need some to create some old friend of the Trainer that studied horse medicine to appear. With some new research to treat those illness. (Maybe surgery.) |
| When you through that the "bad" part of the story has ended but a sneaky feel-train was waiting just around the corner. So no happy ending for the S2, just the harsh reality of life? Because there is no way that they will magically be top tier after all of this. |
 |
| Damn this whole season has had me tearing up almost every episode! But at the end I couldn't help but think, "she can't run anymore, uh oh"......  |
 |
| now people can realize that horses really sacrifice their lifetimes to run for every horserace...whether in reality or anime. |
| This was an amazing episode. Fate really does hate Teio and McQueen. Even though it's almost impossible, I hope they can race together again. Almost every episode has been sad but this episode was on another level. I think this is the only winter 2021 show that made feel sad in and depressed this much. It was a solid 10/10 episode. |
 |
| Wait, what??? Another leg injury? Oh, sweet Celestia, make it stop... |
| A tragedy after another... this show has become a chronicle of injuries... :'( |
| Poor McQueen. This has been so depressing season.. :( |
 |
| I am not gonna lie, this is getting out of hand. Every time we gonna have a good thing, a leg injury happens and honestly, I am kind of sick of it at this point. After Teio's revival 2 episodes ago and that emotional outburst she had thanks to McQueen, now McQueen injured and incurable, emotional impact is just gone for me... This season just has too much drama surrounding injuries. Which is a pity, cause honestly love this series a lot. Doesn't mean it's bad, I just wish it took a different direction. |
 |
| Dude what a sequence of episodes, its already AOTS for me. What will happen now.....much much curious. |

| First Teio and now mcqueen. Wow, this was a depressing episode compared to how happy last week's was. I thought it was incredible like always and I really love the Teio and Mcqueen dynamics and somehow I like them more and more with each episode. This season has been unreal for me and I'm hoping the final episode can deliver and I'll miss seeing the two of them so much |

| I think I’m with some other people here on the fact that there has been a little too much drama in this season, I still prefer it over the first season but man it really hurts to have something like this happen every couple episodes lol, at least it wasn’t Teio this time, that would have made me drop my score a point. Still, it is a big shame this happened to McQueen, for something like that to happen out of nowhere and crush dreams once again. The final scene was sweet but I’m wondering if Teio will be able to win the race, I believe she will but we’ll have to wait till the end next week. |
| .. I forgot this part of the story. So freaking good, man! Oonishi Saori's acting, in particular... Nothing less from one of the best. Fun how life is, isn't it? Season 1 went the SOL route, and it only reached the point that it reached. After that game dev stuck, the franchise lived off real life idol power brought upon along with top-lister seiyuus, with Gold Ship vtubing the best "originally come from the franchise" thing it had going for itself. Cygames kinda left it off as it was. They lost interest in making things right. Fast forward now after they found someone to take care of the project in their name. Now game is out and it's booming, and they bring out the big gun: Tokai Teio's story in anime and spin it this way, and the franchise is the most trending in Japan right now bcs of all of that. Imagine if the game didn't have development hiccup. It might not be the talk of the mass in Japan. Bcs Season 1... only reached that far. |
| If Teio and McQueen retires in the future I hope Kitasan Black and Satono Diamond relpace them in Team Spica, they have the same rivalry and both support the former. |

Well, it's exactly what happened in real life and i find it amazing that they are depicting it in anime like this. Fair enough! That's true, it's an interesting choice to have a comeback/sucess story instead of a dominating/succes story. Honestly from that perspective, I can't really complain,especially after looking up McQueen, it's a great adaptation of the events. |

| Ngl i cried a bit haha. Saorin is my fav seiyuu afterall. Parallel to the game, too much training does bring higher chance to get penalty or risk of injury, even lowering their mood. In this case, depression lol. On another note, i do like the drama part for this season. I rather have this dynamic theme, rather than recycling the same theme over & over, like dbz or 7 deadly sins. Well, u kinda get my point. Each season have a main girl with their rival/"senpai". Im guessing the next one would be scarlet vs vodka. Lets hope the theme would be more on the technical aspects of racing rather than drama. |
| Just like what Teio said to McQueen, fate can be such a jerk that can strike at such an unexpected time which can end someone's goal in life. =( It's a sizable contrast to season 1, as that was more upbeat overall (although it had its fair share of drama with Suzuka's leg break which led up to Special Week's slump of form), whereas this second season has been far heavier in terms of anguish and drama. Mostly, I can understand as to why some users here would be a little frustrated about the amount of drama we've had in this season, but since the series follows very closely to the real life counterparts of the horses in question, this drama was to be expected, so most of the complaints about the drama itself would be sort of irrelevant. That said, I think this episode handled the drama extremely well and it didn't hold back its punches as we saw how much in pain McQueen was when she tried to resume training despite her incurable leg injury she got. Seeing McQueen breaking down crying got me tearing up as well. It was a powerful scene, seeing Teio in the role of McQueen back a few episodes ago, reassuring her and also telling McQueen that she will win her own upcoming race now that she's back into training after almost giving it up completely. I do hope the final episode will end on a positive note, even if it might be bittersweet. =) |
| This episode gave me the feeling that the last race of the season will be a "One last ride" scenario where, McQueen and Teio may race, but at the cost of destroying their legs. |
 |
| Well, the darkness still enveloped the horse girl without mercy, come repeatedly until the end of time. The reality of the horse girls world really full of surprising matter, and i instantly feelsbadman.... This time, its McQueen injury again. Positive. The fate really didn't want them met until the last episode. Idk if the next will be possible, tho. I kinda fear these season really ended with such a bittersweet note, without even letting them race for the last time. I hope i wrong, cause no matter way, i still wanna look the horse girl happy through the end of the day. Man, that Tokai last scene looked so cool with all of her great speech (nice reversal toward a certain scenes between them! Even some of the ed parts didn't hesitate to confirm my words here. Lmao). But i don't really aggree with that respond of her leaving the poor girl like that. Hiks xd. Anyway, its nice to seeing the other horse girl activities and their victory. Biwa from BMW got the last spot light before entering the final blows in the final episode. Idk what kind of end they serve from me. So, i am really looking forward to see the next and last episode! |

| If there´s something that I didnt like in this episode, it was Teiou attitude, her way of handle this matter, I cant believe thats how she would act at that moment, but well, next ep will make things better |

| Nice touch on the ending song, since their position have reversed the part that they sing had switched as well. |
| Wtf, what's even happening. Like seriously man this is way too depressing. |
 |
So dark... 😰 But still... lol 😆 |
| “SAITO! YOU NEED TO EXPLODE! FOR THE WORLD’S SAKE!” |
| oh god why must they do this?!? first Tokai Teiou, then this time its Meijirou McQueen and to be exact the condition seems to be worse compared to Tokai...oh damn! 5/5. the ED changed as well....the original ED sequence was Machico was the first one to sing....this ED the changes was Oonishi Saori was the first one to sing then Machico next...it's like they changed positions! EVEN THE VISUALS OF THE ED IS SWAPPED! |

Dramy said: I hope they can recuperate well, this episode its soo tense. But i need to say, if Teiou not win in 1 place its not bad, she can run again and can prove miracles happen, and McQueen will be fine after a correct recuperation. btw i see in some articles, the injure of McQueen its real in horses and is alot bad :( A lot of the injuries and race events are all based on Real Life events. But the anime tends to exaggerate/ edit a lot of the events for higher suspense and drama. And yea, as said in earlier episode thread... this season is pretty much all happening around injuries... from episode 1 Teio to episode 12 McQueen. Literally only 1 or 2 episode isn't Injury based. I am changing my suggested Title from "Uma Musume: Tieo's Suffering" to "Uma Musume: The Suffering" (at least we should be glad it isn't pure RL based where some horses with big injuries are "put down" or used as "breeding machines") |
| Nothing Written Here But Us Anime Bunnies *boing boing boing* |
| The amount of leg injuries this season is too much. Teio's multi-injury arc was good. It mirrors what top athlete's struggle with. But now we have McQueen's injury. Looked up suspensory ligament desmitis and it seem it is possible? That scene with McQueen trying to run and falling down was really heart wrenching. |
 |
| Why must they make every episode hurt me. God Damn. |
 |
| Does this season have any plot points besides injuring the characters over and over and over again? That's basically all this season has been besides the brief, refreshing Rice Shower subplot and it's basically just a repeat of the Silence Suzuka plot from the second half of season 1. Seriously, it's so tiring because it's so heavy all the time and because it's just lazy to constantly use one plot point and never do anything else at all. |
| First Teio with her fractures and now Mcqueen with suspensory ligament desmitis, these horsegirls this season sure can't catch a break. |
 |
| Fate is cruel, the logical way is definitely for McQueen to retire but with her nature it's definitely not gonna happen. Either Teio and Mcqueen will have 1 final race or they both move on together, oof |
| I thought that by now the dark moments were behind us, and instead here they are back, but what a beautiful episode this was here. The narration makes your heart squeeze, but to counteract it also gives a pearl of wisdom: it is not wrong or exaggerated to believe in miracles, but we must never give up at the first difficulty, even if the fate in part we can not control it. |
 |
| my god talk about bad luck but this time with mcqueen like these 2 have the worse luck just one thing after another i wonder how this season will end this season has been a LOT of bad luck for the 2 MC's |
| "one step at a time" |
| Fate is so cruel to this girls. Just as when Teio decided to continue running despite she won't be running the same as before, McQueen just has to get a serious and incurable injury. Its heart breaking seeing her cry. But miracles can happen. |
| wow, what an episode (｡>﹏<) NO I I'M NOT CRYING JUST HYDRATING MY EYEBALLS THEY BE A BIT DRY am really curious how they're gonna wrap up all this in ONE episode, i hope it ain't gonna be some lame cliche |
slice of life anime, my one and only. >3 2D>>>>>> |
