**[00:00] Commentary**
The Twin Crown horse girl is now making
her presence felt at the Osaka Hai!
**[00:05] Commentary**
In the second bracket, #2,
the most anticipated competitor...
**[00:08] Commentary**
Tokai Teio!
**[00:12] Tokai Teio**
*This feeling...*
**[00:18] Symboli Rudolf**
*Welcome back, Teio.*
**[00:21] Ikuno Dictus**
*Teio...*
**[00:23] Ikuno Dictus**
* If I race on her terms,*
* I don't stand a chance.*
**[00:25] Ikuno Dictus**
* I need to run so that she's*
* never able to catch up.*
**[00:28] Team Canopus**
Ikuno Dictus!
**[00:30] Matikanetannhäuser**
Since your name's so long, can
we just call cheer for "Ikuno"?
**[00:35] Nice Nature**
Wouldn't "Dictus" make more sense?
**[00:36] Twin Turbo**
Why don't we mix it up and go with Ikutus?
**[00:38] Matikanetannhäuser**
I like that!
**[00:39] Matikanetannhäuser**
Ikutus!
**[00:40] Twin Turbo**
Ikutus!
**[00:41] Ikuno Dictus**
I *do not care*.
**[00:48] (Flashback) Commentary**
And McQueen shocks us all
by coming in second place!
***SIGN*** Daitaku Helios
**[00:52] Daisangen**
*I was able to beat Mejiro McQueen.*
**[00:55] Daisangen**
*I can beat Tokai Teio, too!*
**[00:57] Gold Ship**
You better get psyched for this, Teio!
**[00:58] Tokai Teio**
Yeah!
**[00:59] Trainer**
It's been about ten months. How's it feel
to be on the turf again after so long?
**[01:03] Tokai Teio**
It feels really great!
**[01:04] Tokai Teio**
I can't wait to get started!
**[01:06] Vodka**
I guess we don't need to worry, then.
**[01:08] Tokai Teio**
I'm gonna be running against
McQueen in the Tennoushou,
**[01:11] Tokai Teio**
so I can't lose in a race like this!
**[01:13] Mejiro McQueen**
Then, by all means, show me how you run, Teio.
**[01:17] Tokai Teio**
Yeah! I'm gonna head out, then!

**[02:54] Crowd**
Teio!
**[02:54] Kitasan Black**
Go!
**[02:55] Commentary**
Ikuno Dictus is currently leading the pack,
**[02:57] Commentary**
keeping a good distance ahead!
**[02:58] Team Canopus**
Ikuno Dictus!
**[02:59] Minamizaka**
What happened to the name
you just came up with?
**[03:02] Ikuno Dictus**
*I want to get further away, but...*
**[03:09] Daiwa Scarlet**
Teio!
**[03:10] Trainer**
She seems to be having a really
smooth race out there.
**[03:12] Gold Ship**
Seriously.
**[03:15] Ikuno Dictus**
*I don't want to lose! Just a little more!*
**[03:18] Commentary**
Tokai Teio is in third place and holding!
She hasn't made her move yet!
**[03:22] Commentary**
Tokai Teio is biding her time!
**[03:24] Commentary**
Forget about the
runners in front of her!
**[03:28] Tokai Teio**
Okay.
**[03:34] Ikuno Dictus**
*Tokai Teio!*
**[03:35] Commentary**
Here we go, ladies and gentlemen!
**[03:38] Commentary**
Tokai Teio is moving up on the outside!
**[03:40] Commentary**
She's entered her spurt down
the final straightaway!
**[03:43] Tokai Teio**
*My legs feel so light.*
**[03:45] Tokai Teio**
*Yeah, I can win this!*
**[03:47] Ikuno Dictus**
*Please, stop making this look so easy!*
**[03:49] Commentary**
And Tokai moves into the lead with ease!
**[03:52] Commentary**
She's leaving all the others behind!
**[03:55] Team Spica**
Go!
**[03:58] Trainer**
Is she...
**[03:59] Commentary**
Tokai Teio is running uncontested!
**[04:01] Commentary**
The Tennoushou is shaping up
to be an incredible race!
**[04:04] Commentary**
And Tokai Teio has cleared
the goal like it was nothing!
**[04:07] Commentary**
She's back! Tokai Teio has truly returned!
**[04:16] Special Week**
Teio-san looked like she had
plenty of effort to spare!
**[04:19] Daiwa Scarlet**
She's not even a little tired!
**[04:20] Vodka**
And she still dominated...
**[04:22] Gold Ship**
That's totally nuts!
**[04:24] Trainer**
What could be...
**[04:31] Maruzensky**
Excuse me, but isn't she faster
than she was before her injury?
**[04:35] Commentary**
Hosoe-san, this makes the Tennoushou
that much more exciting, doesn't it?
**[04:38] Junko Hosoe**
She'll be going up against Mejiro McQueen,
**[04:40] Junko Hosoe**
who's got a ton of momentum right now.
**[04:47] Ikuno Dictus**
She's...
**[04:49] Ikuno Dictus**
On a totally different level!

***SIGN*** A win overwhelming enough to frustrate all competitors!
**[04:53] Matikanetannhäuser**
Sure seems that way.
**[04:55] Ikuno Dictus**
Her knees and ankles are so
remarkably flexible and springy
**[04:57] Ikuno Dictus**
that it gives her excessive amounts
of accelerative potential!
**[05:02] Twin Turbo**
She's not bad.

A clash like this is something
anyone would be excited for.
**[05:12] Vodka**
Oh, wow! There've been specials
about it all morning.
**[05:15] Daiwa Scarlet**
Really makes you feel like
it's all about those two.
**[05:19] Tokai Teio**
Yeah!
**[05:23] Mejiro McQueen**
Could you please not stare?

You'd make the perfect rival to compete
with me over who's the fastest!
**[05:59] Sakura Bakushin O**
Why don't you join me as we dash to see
what lies beyond the limits of speed?!
**[06:03] Mihono Bourbon**
My master's orders were to become
a Triple Crown horse girl.
**[06:07] Sakura Bakushin O**
Your master? Who's that?
Do you work at a café?
**[06:10] Mihono Bourbon**
I have to turn down your suggestion.
**[06:11] Sakura Bakushin O**
But why?! Your class representative

**[06:34] Meisho Doto**
Is there any hope?
**[06:37] Machikanefukukitaru**
A partner...
**[06:38] Mejiro Palmer**
Yeah?
**[06:39] Machikanefukukitaru**
The presence of a partner is a necessity!
**[06:43] Mejiro Palmer**
Like, someone friendly to compete against?
**[06:46] Meisho Doto**
There's some hope?!

I don't know where I'm supposed

I don't even care what happens
to the world anymore!

This is a can of Campbell's *sucks*!
**[07:06] Mejiro Palmer**
Wh-What's wrong?
**[07:08] Daitaku Helios**
Milady...
**[07:10] Daitaku Helios**
Milady's being ice cold to me!
**[07:12] Mejiro Palmer**
Your lady?!
**[07:15] Mejiro Palmer**
I-I don't really follow yet, but if you're
having trouble, we can talk about it.
**[07:20] Daitaku Helios**
I know, right?!
**[07:23] Daitaku Helios**
If I get started on her,
it's gonna take a while. Is that cool?
**[07:26] Mejiro Palmer**
Sure! Don't worry about it!
**[07:28] Daitaku Helios**
McThanks!
**[07:32] Mejiro Palmer**
Mick... what now?
**[07:34] Daitaku Helios**
It means "thank you." Did you not know that?
**[07:37] Mejiro Palmer**
N-No. Sorry...
**[07:39] Daitaku Helios**
OMG...
**[07:40] Mejiro Palmer**
OMG?
**[07:42] Daitaku Helios**
Hey, this is Beckenbesides, but do you
know what "Floridya later" means?
**[07:45] Mejiro Palmer**
Can we start with what "Beckenbesides" means?!
**[07:48] Daitaku Helios**
I dunno how I can talk about this
stuff unless you know what I mean.
**[07:52] Mejiro Palmer**
I'm sorry.
**[07:55] Daitaku Helios**
Oh well, then...
**[07:57] Daitaku Helios**
First, I'm gonna teach you how
all the cool people talk!
**[08:02] Machikanefukukitaru**
All right, make sure to clean
up for tomorrow, okay?
**[08:02] Daitaku Helios**
So do you, like, know any
kind of slang at all?
**[08:04] Meisho Doto**
Okay.
**[08:04] ---**
**[08:06] Machikanefukukitaru**
Now, then...
**[08:06] ---**
**[08:07] ---**
**[08:08] Mejiro Palmer**
Uh, I've heard "XL" before...
**[08:09] Daitaku Helios**
What does "XL" mean?!
**[08:11] Machikanefukukitaru**
That didn't take long.
**[08:11] Mejiro Palmer**
It's not slang?!
**[08:23] Kuronuma**
Did I say you could rest?
**[08:25] Kuronuma**
Two more laps. Get moving.
**[08:26] Girls**
R-Right!
**[08:27] Kuronuma**
Bourbon...
**[08:28] Mihono Bourbon**
Sir?
**[08:29] Kuronuma**
The Satsukishou's 200 meters longer
than the last race you ran.
**[08:32] Mihono Bourbon**
Yes, sir.
**[08:32] Kuronuma**
Give me three more laps on the sloping track.
**[08:34] Mihono Bourbon**
As you wish, Master.
**[08:50] Daiwa Scarlet**
It's a bit more crowded than usual, isn't it?
**[08:52] Special Week**
It makes me kind of nervous!
**[08:54] Gold Ship**
Okay, you want me to chase them off?
**[08:56] Trainer**
Don't. Think of this as
training to focus,
**[08:59] Trainer**
no matter what kind of
distractions there are.
**[09:01] Daiwa Scarlet**
Are you going to be okay?
**[09:02] Tokai Teio**
I tend to do better when
I'm being watched, anyway.
**[09:06] Mejiro McQueen**
It won't be a problem.
**[09:08] Trainer**
One other thing—Teio and
McQueen are going to be
**[09:10] Trainer**
running different training
regimens from now on.
**[09:13] Trainer**
You two are competing at the Tennoushou.
**[09:15] Trainer**
Until that's over, you probably
shouldn't be too friendly.
**[09:18] Trainer**
You'll want to work on your weaknesses,
and come up with a winning strategy.
**[09:22] Mejiro McQueen**
I understand.
**[09:23] Tokai Teio**
You're right.
**[09:25] Tokai Teio**
Starting today, I'm not
gonna talk to McQueen.
**[09:28] Mejiro McQueen**
A good idea.
**[09:32] Special Week**
I guess you have to!
Since this is a serious competition!
**[09:35] Tokai Teio**
So what's my training look like?
**[09:37] Trainer**
You're gonna need these, Teio.
**[09:40] Tokai Teio**
Jogging shoes?
**[09:42] Trainer**
And these are for McQueen.

When it comes to Teio, everyone
knows the Teio Step, right?
***SIGN*** Strategy Meeting
**[09:58] Ikuno Dictus**
There's a chance that it's
an exercise for boosting the
**[10:00] Ikuno Dictus**
flexibility of her knees and ankles.
**[10:02] Nice Nature**
You really think so?
**[10:04] Twin Turbo**
The Teio Step is easy, anyway!
**[10:06] Twin Turbo**
Hup!
**[10:09] Twin Turbo**
All right, here I go!
**[10:12] Twin Turbo**
It's just like this...

Ow, ow, ow...
**[10:25] Twin Turbo**
I swear, we're gonna take Spica down...
**[10:38] (Flashback) Trainer**
The Spring Tennoushou is 3,200 meters.
**[10:41] (Flashback) Trainer**
You've never run a race that long before.
**[10:43] (Flashback) Trainer**
So you need the endurance to
handle the extra distance!
***SIGN*** Heavy
**[10:59] Gold Ship**
So heavy!
**[11:01] Gold Ship**
What the hell's this horseshoe made of? Lead?
**[11:03] Mejiro McQueen**
Those were the orders from Trainer-san.
**[11:06] (Flashback) Trainer**
It's when you're feeling
worn out that you need
**[11:08] (Flashback) Trainer**
to bring your knees up and
take a big step forward.
**[11:10] (Flashback) Trainer**
And to do that, you need hindquarters
that can stand up to fatigue!
**[11:13] Mejiro McQueen**
Teio's greatest weapon is her explosive
power during the final straight.
**[11:17] Mejiro McQueen**
I need to create hindquarters that
are able to compete with hers.
**[11:23] Gold Ship**
That's really something!
**[11:32] Gold Ship**
What's up, McQueen?
**[11:35] Gold Ship**
What? You need something?

**[12:27] Gold Ship**
And then salmon roe tapioca.
**[12:29] Special Week**
I want carrot tapioca!
**[12:32] Special Week**
Teio-san!
**[12:33] Tokai Teio**
Okay...
**[12:34] Special Week**
Would you like to join us, Teio-san?
**[12:36] Gold Ship**
Yeah, let's hang out.
**[12:37] Tokai Teio**
Can't. Not dressed for it.
**[12:40] Gold Ship**
Well, the Tennoushou is next week.
**[12:45] Special Week**
McQueen-san...
**[12:46] Gold Ship**
McQueen, you want in on this tapi...o...ca?
**[12:51] Vodka**
Makes sense.
**[12:53] Daiwa Scarlet**
I'm not going out anymore.
**[12:56] Daiwa Scarlet**
Two of our teammates are giving
up their days off to train.
**[12:59] Daiwa Scarlet**
I can't just sip on bubble tea
like nothing's going on.
**[13:02] Special Week**
Good point.
**[13:04] Vodka**
Yeah. Let's help them with their training!
**[13:11] Commentary**
Today's star competitor is going to be
running in the Satsukishou undefeated.
**[13:16] Commentary**
And here's Mihono Bourbon!
**[13:40] Daiwa Scarlet**
This is brutal!
**[13:42] Vodka**
You've been running up this hill every day?!
**[13:44] Trainer**
Sure have! Trainer's orders.
**[13:46] Daiwa Scarlet**
You've never run a 3,200 meter
race before, have you, Vodka?
**[13:50] Vodka**
Hell no! You haven't either, right, Scarlet?
**[13:52] Daiwa Scarlet**
Of course not!
**[13:53] Daiwa Scarlet**
I have no idea how you'd pace yourself!
**[13:56] Vodka**
But McQueen won the Tennoushou last year.
**[13:59] Vodka**
And the Hanshin Daishoten,
which is 3,000 meters.
**[14:06] Daiwa Scarlet**
H-Hey, wait up!
**[14:12] Gold Ship**
Seriously, don't land on me!
**[14:14] Gold Ship**
If you land on me with those horseshoes,
you'll gouge my back out!
**[14:17] Mejiro McQueen**
It's fine.
**[14:18] Gold Ship**
How, exactly?!
**[14:19] Mejiro McQueen**
Here we go.
**[14:20] Mejiro McQueen**
Ready, and...
**[14:24] Special Week**
Wow! I'm amazed you can jump
in such heavy horseshoes!
**[14:28] Special Week**
This is terrifying!
Do you really need me?!
**[14:30] Mejiro McQueen**
*Teio has never lost.*
**[14:33] Mejiro McQueen**
*If it helps me defeat an undefeated horse girl,*
**[14:36] Mejiro McQueen**
*then this is a small price.*
**[14:37] Special Week**
Hey, the donut truck!
**[14:41] Mejiro McQueen**
Oh, my.
**[14:42] Special Week**
Are you okay, Gold Ship-san?!
**[14:44] Ikuno Dictus**
Ready, and...
**[14:46] Team Canopus**
Machikane Tannhäuser!
**[14:57] Nice Nature**
Her name's kinda long, huh?
**[14:59] Ikuno Dictus**
Perhaps just "Tannhäuser."
**[15:00] Twin Turbo**
No! What about "Machitan"?
**[15:02] Nice Nature**
We could just call her "Macchy."
**[15:04] Minamizaka**
*Does it matter?*
**[15:04] Twin Turbo**
Nah, I like mine, it sounds
like a world champ!
**[15:14] Rice Shower**
Keep up... Keep up...
Keep up... Keep up...
**[15:23] Commentary**
* Mihono Bourbon's strength is*
* thought to be short distances,*
**[15:26] Commentary**
* but going into this race, she's been*
* undertaking intensive slope training.*
**[15:29] Junko Hosoe**
* Her trainer Kuronuma's philosophy*
* is that speed is a natural gift,*
**[15:33] Junko Hosoe**
* while stamina can be compensated*
* for with training.*
**[15:36] Tokai Teio**
Is that so?
**[15:37] Commentary**
* It sounds like she'll be heading into the*
* Classics ready to tear up those hills!*
**[15:40] Vodka**
Mihono Bourbon, huh? Seems like stronger
and stronger horse girls keep showing up.
**[15:44] Commentary**
* Will she be able to follow in the*
* footsteps of Tokai Teio*
**[15:47] Commentary**
*and take the Satsukishou while undefeated?*
**[15:49] Daiwa Scarlet**
They're talking about you, Teio!
**[15:51] Tokai Teio**
I was really sure that I was
gonna win the Satsukishou!
**[15:55] Daiwa Scarlet**
What about this time, then?
**[15:57] Tokai Teio**
This time?
**[15:59] Commentary**
* The gate is open and the race has begun.*
* Mihono Bourbon's off to a good start.*
**[16:03] Gold Ship**
Huh, that's a nice start.
**[16:05] Mejiro McQueen**
Mihono Bourbon has never lost before, either.
**[16:09] Special Week**
She's just like Teio-san!
**[16:11] Mejiro McQueen**
I wonder if that adds to the pressure.
**[16:15] Commentary**
Mihono Bourbon is out in front
of 16 other horse girls!
**[16:19] Commentary**
Will she remain in first place all the
way through to the end of the race?
**[16:24] Matikanetannhäuser**
I didn't know Bourbon-chan was this fast!
**[16:29] Tokai Teio**
There's definitely some pressure.
**[16:31] Vodka**
I didn't know you ever felt pressure.
**[16:33] Daiwa Scarlet**
It's surprising.
**[16:35] Tokai Teio**
But I think a race without
pressure wouldn't be any fun.
**[16:39] Tokai Teio**
I think I feel more pressure about the
Tennoushou than I did about the Derby.
**[16:44] Tokai Teio**
Which is why I'm looking
forward to it more, too!
**[16:52] Special Week**
You already won last time, McQueen-san,
so I doubt you feel much pressure at all.
**[16:58] Mejiro McQueen**
Teio wasn't running in
the Tennoushou when I won.
**[17:01] Mejiro McQueen**
She is without a doubt a better racer
than any other that I've faced before.
**[17:07] Mejiro McQueen**
Which definitely is a source of pressure,
**[17:09] Mejiro McQueen**
but getting melodramatic
about it serves no purpose.
**[17:13] Gold Ship**
You're pretty tough, McQueen.
**[17:15] Special Week**
Really!

**[17:20] Commentary**

Mihono Bourbon manages to outrun
them all and cross the goal!

**[17:39] Minamizaka**
What happened to the other names?
**[17:45] Vodka**
Damn, Mihono Bourbon!
**[17:49] Tokai Teio**
You can compensate for
stamina with training...
**[17:53] Tokai Teio**
Okay, break's over! One more time!
**[17:57] Daiwa Scarlet**
You're not done yet?!
**[17:58] Vodka**
H-Hang on!
**[18:00] Mejiro McQueen**
Now, Gold Ship,
place your hands on your knees.
**[18:04] Gold Ship**
You sure about this?
It's even higher than before!
**[18:07] Mejiro McQueen**
This would be no problem
at all with Teio's knees.
**[18:10] Mejiro McQueen**
One hundred reps, let's begin.
**[18:14] Mejiro McQueen**
Teio...
**[18:15] Gold Ship**
Not a damn word, Spe! I swear!
**[18:17] Gold Ship**
You'll distract McQueen!
**[18:20] Gold Ship**
She's not even there?!
**[18:21] Special Week**
You two!
**[18:22] Special Week**
Would you like some donuts?!
**[18:25] Mejiro McQueen**
Oh, my.
**[18:26] Special Week**
Are you okay, Gold Ship-san?!
**[18:26] Reporter**
* Are you aiming for the undefeated Triple Crown*
* that Tokai Teio was unable to achieve?*
**[18:31] Mihono Bourbon**
Yes. Those are Master's orders,
and I will carry them out.
**[18:35] Mejiro McQueen**
Now, one more time!

This weekend is the long-awaited
Spring Tennoushou.
**[18:44] Reporter**
First, Tokai Teio-san, this is going
to be the first TM race ever,
**[18:48] Reporter**
and all of Japan is excited.
**[18:50] Mejiro McQueen**
*A TM race? Not an MT?*
**[18:50] Reporter**
Do you have any comments
heading into the race?
**[18:53] Mejiro McQueen**
*Are they favoring Teio?*
**[18:54] Tokai Teio**
Well, I've never lost before!
**[18:57] Tokai Teio**
And that's not gonna change,
even against McQueen!
**[19:01] Reporter**
Mejiro McQueen-san, you won the
Spring Tennoushou last year.
**[19:04] Reporter**
What are your chances this year?
**[19:06] Mejiro McQueen**
More than sufficient.
**[19:07] Mejiro McQueen**
I have no intention of losing to Teio.
**[19:10] Tokai Teio**
I'm ready to run to the ends of the earth!
**[19:12] Mejiro McQueen**
Then I'll simply run to the heavens!
**[19:15] Tokai Teio**
*I'm definitely gonna win!*
**[19:15] Mejiro McQueen**
*I shall be the winner!*
**[19:17] Mejiro McQueen**
*I assure you all, I'll win!*
**[19:17] Tokai Teio**

**[20:06] Symboli Rudolf**
Good work, Teio.
**[20:09] Tokai Teio**
Prez!
**[20:15] Symboli Rudolf**
I see. Your trainer's orders, then?
**[20:17] Tokai Teio**
I've never been in a race longer
than 2,400 meters, after all.
**[20:22] Symboli Rudolf**
It's true. The distance is
an advantage for McQueen.
**[20:25] Tokai Teio**
Yeah. But...
**[20:27] Tokai Teio**
I've just never been in a long race before.
**[20:30] Tokai Teio**
We don't know if I'm any good at it or not.
**[20:34] Symboli Rudolf**
True.
**[20:36] Tokai Teio**
The TV and papers seem to
think I've got the edge,
**[20:40] Tokai Teio**
but I'm thinking of myself as
the challenger in this race.
**[20:43] Tokai Teio**
Mihono Bourbon proved it, after all.
**[20:46] Tokai Teio**
The limits of stamina can be
overcome through training!
**[20:49] Symboli Rudolf**
That's the spirit.
**[20:50] Tokai Teio**
I wasn't able to become an undefeated
Triple Crown horse girl.
**[20:54] Tokai Teio**
But I can keep being undefeated!
**[20:57] Symboli Rudolf**
That's right. Keep rising
to the challenge, Teio!
**[21:00] Tokai Teio**
Yeah!
**[21:01] Tokai Teio**
I know! If I win the Tennoushou,
come with me to karaoke again!
**[21:05] Tokai Teio**
Fair enough.
**[21:12] Mejiro McQueen**
Excuse me... Grandmother,
have you seen the news today?
**[21:17] Grandmother**
I have.
**[21:18] Mejiro McQueen**
In print and on television,
it's Teio this, Teio that...
**[21:21] Mejiro McQueen**
I'm honestly shocked at the
public's impression of the race.
**[21:24] Grandmother**
I was shocked after seeing you at
the press conference, personally.
**[21:29] Grandmother**
I read you the tale of the tortoise
and the hare as a child, didn't I?
**[21:33] Mejiro McQueen**
Y-You did.
**[21:35] Grandmother**
Do you understand how the tortoise won?
**[21:39] Grandmother**
The rabbit was looking at the tortoise.
**[21:42] Grandmother**
But the tortoise was looking at the goal.
**[21:46] Grandmother**
Do you understand what I'm trying to say?
**[21:53] Grandmother**
Having a rival is important.
**[21:56] Grandmother**
But there should be something
more important than that.
**[22:02] Mejiro McQueen**
It's all right, Grandmother. I will not lose!
**[22:26] Mejiro McQueen**
I can do this!
**[22:28] Gold Ship**
You can do this!
**[22:29] Special Week**
I've got treats!
**[22:31] Mejiro McQueen**
Oh, my.
**[22:32] Special Week**
