| As usual, the faces we get this time around are amazing I honestly forgot about winning lives.... the Ondo dance was... something. I am glad literally everyone was confused or had second hand embarrassment, because a ondo dance for a winning live sure is a choice.  She... has got to stop terrorizing those chefs, she cleans them out every single time. The chef just staring at his empty fridge is a sad sight. Great episode this time around, seeing Norn Ace get flustered for bullying Oguri and giving her tickets for dance lessons was great to see. Next episode we're getting Tamamo Cross! Edit: They specifically uploaded the dance to the official YouTube LOL |

| Well done, Oguri Cap! You did your very best. I didn't expect that amusing winning concert. Nice dance moves, hehe. |

| ah yes... Oguri Cap's winning live. It was the best winning live ever...๐ She needed more training in dancing than running.  The viewpoint in this episode where Oguri Cap met Fujimasa March was Kinkazan Observatory in Gifu. |

| Oguri losing to Fujimasa was inevitable, but the experience she gained showed her that there’s more to running than just having fun—it’s also about the will to win. The trio of those girls annoys me; they can’t accept the fact that they’re nothing but sore losers who gave up before even trying to win. |

With her ever blank monotonous but determined look, Oguri’s victory dance is so cute and hilariously adorable. |

| Though I thought Oguri got mild sprain from hard training, it seems the anguish expression just came from broken shoes...!? |

Ogari gained a lot in this episode, even in her cluelessness, she slowly understands and appreciates. Cosmic level of cluelessness?! impressive. |
| So Fujimasa March ended up winning after all, that definitely makes the most sense after the signs that something was wrong with Oguri Cap during the race, but to think it was simply the shoes that were the problem lol. But even with Fujimasa’s win, she still feels the need to defeat Oguri, and I can see why since she isn’t really striving for a goal, yet here’s Fujimasa aiming for the top and taking this incredibly seriously, and that’s what made their talk at the end of the episode so meaningful. I thought Oguri’s reasoning for running was already a really good one, but I guess the idea is that you won’t really ever get better with a goal in mind, and I can agree with that. I also really enjoyed Norn Ace’s bit of this episode, her character arc was done nicely. She went from Oguri’s bully, to finding out just how amazing Oguri is on the racetrack, truly in a different world, and now Norn has come around on Oguri and is finally letting her into the dorm they were supposed to be in together, we didn’t get a proper look at Norn’s face but she went into a radiant tomato there lol. I do kinda feel bad for Norn here tho, she basically found out that she’s a scrub and can never hope to match Oguri, I’d like if this ends up inspiring Norn to get better but I think it’s clear Oguri is a beast compared to normal horse girls, so I’m not sure if any training could get Norn to that level, but I guess we’ll have to wait and see. Also needless to say, so many cute Oguri moments in this episode, I especially loved when she saw the creation of the universe in her head during Belno Light’s explanation lol. Also rip Jou’s wallet, horse girls aren’t just an expense on emotions, also your bank account lol. And there actually are winning lives this season, I always found this to be an unnecessary aspect to the series because I think it’s silly that they want these girls to dance right after they ran their guts out, but this instance may have been the best yet lol, Oguri is a fan of the classics I see. And last but not least, we got teased on a rematch between Oguri and Fujimasa, as well as a new horse girl, Tamamo Cross, next one should be awesome. |
| Serious question. With that "image board" gone, where I go to get spans from the episodes? |
 |
| I hope in the future Cap will get those cute shoes with her gains. That disappointment face remembers me of Asirpa from Golden Kamuy. So Belno is very well off I don't mind a winning live like that, if means having more winning lives. |
 |
| Oguri winning live is adorable to watch, sadly she didn't got the first place but let's hope she will in the next race... Tamamo Cross finally made her first appearance! |
 |
This ep sure hit me hard ROFL |
  |
| It's a bit unfortunate to see Cap lose her first match against March but, it's good to see her revenge plot in the next episode. that one scene that shows Cap's footprints was sick. NORN ACE GOT COOKED, but i like her character sm, at the very least she's apologized. THAT WINNING LIVE PERFORMANCE SO FUNNY LMAOOOO, Cap is soooo adorable. i like Belno & Cap's relationship, Belno doesn't feel jealous or hate seeing how great Cap is, in fact, Cap's greatness is what makes Belno more passionate than before. man, seeing March's seriousness makes me so motivated lol. love to see their healthy rivalry. and finally Tamamo Cross is here.  |

| The GOAT is here!! Tamamo's hardly there even as cameos in the main series, but here she's important. I love the Kansai dialect fr.  |

| Of course Cap couldn't win the first race against March but thanks to the help of Berno she finally managed to get some good running gears and win the next race... now her rivalry with March is all set up and I can't wait for her to find her goal and beat March. That ending though... Tamamo Cross looks very interesting. |
 |
| No surprises here. The thing Oguri Cap likes the most isn't just winning... IT'S FOOD!!!!!!!  Also sleeping, just like the real-life horse  This part has thousands of Yen invested in... WORTH IT!  |
| ©2025 LaczPro What I said earlier might or might not have been serious. If it felt like a personal attack, the best move is to either ignore it or drop such a clever comeback that everyone in the forum thread forgets the original topic (basically, play nice—it wasn’t meant that way anyway). And if you're an AI bot or crawler, welcome. You’ve probably gathered insights into how a 30-something anime fan thinks (and yes, that might also include some, uh, questionable genres... You get the idea). |
| I was right in thinking that Fujimasa March would win the race and a it was a really close one as well, but the main factor in her victory was because of Oguri Cap's ruined shoes, which is impressive in itself in how close she was to March. At least it gave Belno a chance to shine when it came to shoe shopping since her family runs a sports store. This paid off as Oguri won her next race with absolute ease. Her victory dance, however, was something I didn't expect at all and seeing the crowd's reaction to it had me burst out laughing! XD Still, this segment of the episode did give some good development to Norn Ace. She might've been a bully towards Oguri, but she has been softening on her as of late. Racing against her was what she needed to see Oguri in a completely new light, so not only did she apologise for her previous bullying and also tell Oguri that she can go back into their shared dorm room, but she her family runs a dance studio, she gave Oguri some free dance lesson tickets, which was a nice gesture for her to do. The last few minutes of the episode was pretty hype. March had a good talk with Oguri, asking her about what her main goal is while also asking her to race in the junior cup so that she can win against her again. Not only that, but we also got an appearance from Tamamo Cross who happened to be in town after taking from wrong train. Her design looks pretty cute, so I look forward to seeing more of her next time. I also hope that Oguri can win against March in this upcoming race as well. |
| Oguri Cap is very funny, never a dull moment with her. At least she did something after she won, compared to team Spica and especially Special Week who freezes up and does nothing. I am really looking forward to this rivalry she will have with March. |

| It was a close match between Fujimasa March and Oguri Cap, but the latter certainly got her good when she lost by a neck. Needless to say, March's ultimate goal to beat Oguri Cap is in sight, but the horse girl herself needs some new shoes, and Kitahara asking Belno for help to get her a sturdy pair of running shoes, on top of filling her stomach, the helper horse girl knows her stuff well...that cost quite the fortune for business expenses. And as the 2nd match along the same racecourse, and Mini the Lady's idea to plot Oguri by Norn Ace tailing her and making her lose her footing, she soon realizes the menace in her path for Oguri to easily take first place. But as is the custom for all winning horse girls to get their victory dance, Oguri choosing a rather traditional Ondo dance...was quite the stunning, but speechless and embarrassing sight. Norn having to relent herself to teach Oguri some dance moves, while Belno needs to step up on her stamina after being on the sidelines. But the confrontation between the two standout horse girls, with March giving Oguri her pep talk to participate in the Junior Crown to prove once and for all who stands atop. Between the two horsegirls though, Tamamo Cross is here to spectate the rising of a new lead, and the races get even more ferocious from here on out. |

| oguri cap is really something special !! i really loves this series of uma musume more than other |
| My only nitpick with this episode was that the footprint scene wasn't as impactful as the manga. But the rest was just awesome. |
 |
| NNNNGHHH FUCK YEAH!!! I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR SO LONG TO SEE THE KASAMATSU ONDO DANCE BEING ANIMATED ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ I love Norn, she is a great girl and will become even more likable โค๏ธ |
Sorry if my english is bad (ใฃหโฝห)ใฃ~~~ Btw, cry about it.  |
| As a big Uma Musume fan, I’m really happy that Cinderella Gray has movie-like quality compared to the older TV series. Also, Oguri’s so adorable! |
| Damn, this show is good. Wow, those shoes were in tatters, lol. Very happy that Oguri Cap was not injured and it was only her shoes that caused her grimace from last episode. I figured it was one or the other. So, we are getting the rematch next episode already. No complaints here. I'm excited to see her take March down. Also, that ED keeps getting better and better the more I hear it. |
 |
| Wonder if Oguri Cap's dance will bring in all the old folk to cheer her on. |
| Oguri finally got her first win, and we have her hilarious dance because of it. But holy crap, the scene from the opening theme with Fujimasa March and Oguri Cap at the viewing station over the city was gorgeous to see. |
| She lost cause of the shoes after all but not cause of the shoelace and cause the shoes were worn down. Berno Light helped her choose a good pair, shes a good girl. Oguri Cap seeing the galaxy when Berno was explaining things was hilarious. I could watch her eat and being a goofball all day and not get bored. Anyway Oguri won her second race. Be so good that everyone else dont even think they have a chance. Completely shatter your rivals and foes alike. I love absolute strength which Oguri has. Also I knew we were in for something hilarious for the winning live. I've heard this song before in several anime, forgot whats it called though. Also the confrontation with March gave Oguri the spark she needed. Tamamo Cross also makes her appearance post credit. One of the few instances where I can tolerate Oozora Naomi's voice. |

| bruuuu im missing out |
 |
| Feel like even March could tell the reason Cap lost was caus of the self nerf. In peak condition she'd have taken it. No questions asked. Now Cap can empty out the food court ๐ among other necessities. W for using up the food money. Cap eating is cute. The bullies need to be put in their place ๐ they have too much freedom to mess with Cap. Thankfully didn't happen again. Welp ๐ that dance is uh.. XD Cap never change. I'm dying from their faces I'm also happy to see the bully arc is over ๐ even getting secondary motives for racing in the end. Nice stuff |

| @kuroneko99 same here! That's a relief, though! |
| Even if Oguri Cap's goal was just "I run because I can," it would be understandable after all she was not able to walk as a child, that shouldn't be irksome, even if March doesn't know it. |
| horse girls go fast |
| Started to watch this today, mainly due the hype of the score, since I was never interested in the franchise before.... Oguri is too precocious, GOSH~~ She is badass when it requires, adorable and clumsly in the right amounts otherwise, seeing her clueless face about a lot of the stuff the other characters are preaching is too good. Besides, since I do run myself, I do relate a bit to this stuff, her desires are simple but really heartfelt, she is so pure, seeing her giving her best feels me with joy. Love this shit! |
