| Lots of aura-farming here. Really enjoying the 1988 Japan Cup arc a lot! Cygames, I'm begging you to give Obey the concert she deserved! LOL Pay the Butler (Obey) won the 1988 Japan Cup against Tamamo Cross. Oguri finished 3rd by 1¼ lengths. The Top 8 were all notable Cingray characters, including Running Free (Long Live Free), who finished 7th. https://www.jbis.jp/race/result/19881127/105/10/ |

| And that was the result. ngl, Obey Your Master was pretty scary, both inside and outside the racetrack. Sadly, they didn't show us her winning live. Next stop, Arima Kinen. Toni Biance: mentioned about Japan "Even if it takes place on a small island nation" Japan's area: 377,974 km² Italy's area: 302,073 km² and also Ireland's area: 70,273 km² ๐๐ |

What an intense races! so many colourfully nail-biting moments, it is spectacular. |
| Have to say that the trainers for Oguri and Tamamo really dropped the ball on this race. They should have absolutely warned their girls that the overseas racers are much more physical and prepared them for that instead of letting them get surprised mid race Super stoked that Obey won though, she's such a sick character i was rooting for her crazy ass |

| Simply an amazing episode the race was so fun to watch. |
| What Oguri don't have as of now is stamina. She hasn't do any stamina training at all until she finally unlock Gourmand. In this race, she use pace chaser strategy so she could keep up nesr the front of the pack. But since she doesn't have enough stamina and also startled in the middle of the race, she unfortunately has to fall near behind of the group. As what Roppei suggested her to do if things don't go her way, she has to do tactical tweak (shatterproof) to reverse back to her original strategy. That was a really good showcase of the skill since this particular skill is mostly ignored lol. So she could reserve enough stamina to burst through to the front near the end of the race. I wonder what kind of song OYM sing in her winning concert. Oguri may be fast and strong but very lacking in stamina. Looking forward to what she would do to improve it since the rl horse doesn't like to swim. |

| another peak episode Oguri lost again.. |
| Don't force yourself if you hated this episode/chapter!!! Check below for the best anime/ Manga recom!!! IG (https://www.instagram.com/otakuweek?igsh=em5kY3Q4NTVtNXlh) or Discord (https://discord.gg/vbZrk64uH7) |
| Raise the flags! We got Katsuragi Ace in a less-than-a-second flashback scene, but well... even that alone makes it the best episode ever! I love everything about Obey Your Master. "Be the American Uma Musume the Japanese Uma Musume think you are" I love how she's a lot more than just a silly/funny stereotype with her wild joker personality. I'd love (and definitely pay) to see her winning live concert. It's a crime they keep skipping winning live concerts since Oguri Cap enrolled in Tracen Academy. |
| Oguri can see the peak, but she isn't quite there yet. Good to see that Obey Your Master didn't rub her win in but instead was thankful to Tamano Cross that she got to show her all against such a great racer. |
I have to appreciate the concept they have used to build Obey Your Master's character here, although it's barely within ten minutes. That old man is probably a reference to irl trainer Robert Frenkel: Obey VA did a good job expressing dual personalities. So that brown haired punk uma musume she adopted the style of, who is she meant to represent? While I more or less knew the results of the 1988 Japan Cup, the episode still got me pumped up in the last spurt. Animation and storyboarding would be challenging for a race that realistically takes place under 3 minutes but has to fit 10 minutes of dialogue, so props to that. A spectacular episode although it really makes it clear that this is all the interactions we are going to get from the foreigners. Kinda peeved that all those teasers and stuff were for 3 episodes of Japan Cup content. Also, is Ellerslie Pride secretly Gold City's fangirl? Question to manga readers, was Tony Bianca's zone rainbow themed in manga too? I personally feel it is a nod to her irl version's foal, Jungle Pocket zone in the SJNT movie. That is an awesome reference in itself, but the movie released 3 years after the manga started publishing, so who referenced who?  Tony Bin irl actually stayed back in Japan for breeding purposes, so its amusing how the anime dealt with that. I guess another 14 days gap is coming. Oh, the misery... |

| PEAK PEAK PEAK... Best race in the series so far... Tama v Obey in the last spurt was absolutely freaking amazing๐ญ๐ฅ And what its worth Obey deserved her win more than anyone.. "I am not talented enough to define a era But that's why I want this most"  For a horse that has one "BIG" win his career it was sure represented brilliantly. Guess she shuted all those low lifes. I was rooting for Tama but seeing all her hardwork and struggle pay off was satisfying... Poor Tama gave everything but was just short. Even her high guts can't even activate. (Cygames giving global players crash course on guts & lane movement just before update?) The pre concert scene between Tama & Obey was so cute and mutual respect they shared..  Don't need to worry about Ougri lol she's the main character and her time will come very soon I assume. But still making her run pace with more distance was horrible decision. Atleast she make Michelle my bitch taste some dust. The Kikka Sho and Creek episode is still better imo but as a race Japan Cup is best so far. Perfect pacing. Next up Arima Kinen ah I can't wait๐ญ๐ญ |

| I was unfortunately spoiled on the winner of the race before the previous episode, I’m still kinda mad about that but thankfully this episode still had lots of surprises in store, like Obey Your Master going mask off and swerving mid race to avoid the diameter around Tamamo Cross for the sake of a psychological aspect of Tamamo’s racing, that shit was so cool. Throw Toni Bianca’s rainbow aura in there too, it’s just a shame she hurt herself in the process and ended her badass moment early, however this allowed for Oguri Cap to take the 3rd place spot in her own epic moment when it was thought that she was down and out, which gave her the title of zombie according to Michelle My Baby lol. But wow man, Obey really pulled quite the trickery on everyone, the backstory reveal paired with her true personality was well done, I never thought that she could be purposely suppressing her stats just for this race, and that she’d go as far as playing a character, but hey it worked out incredibly well for her, I’m happy she won and surprised the world. I am curious about that horse girl she based her fake personality on tho, she showed up once and that created the mask for Obey indirectly, not sure if we’ll ever know, but I thank her for giving Obey this idea. I wanna touch on Oguri a bit too, I like that they keep teasing her reaching the zone but she can’t quite do it yet, I’m sure she will eventually and it’ll be next level awesome when she does, but she still had a really good showing in the Japan Cup here despite not reaching it. And the last moments of the episode were dedicated to each of the foreign horse girls before they return to their homelands, besides Toni because of an irl reason apparently, I like how they represented that. And I’m ngl I forgot Gold City was in that race lol, but I’m glad she and Ellerslie Pride have a friendship of sorts now. And I’m glad Obey and Tamamo left things positively after their dramatic race, it would be cool to see Obey return without her mask but for now it stays on, a shame about not getting that winning live tho, I’d almost prefer them not show the stage at all if we’re not getting it lol. |

| PEAAAAAAAKKKKKKKKKKK best episode and best race of the series so far. Ishigami Shizuka needs more praise for her VOICE ACTING as Obey Your Master. just goosebumps. (more yaps later..) |
_tan_senpai said: Who was in the cutscene during Toni Bianca’s run after her injury? It had a white background and two runners there in front of her. I could’ve sworn they weren’t Obey Your Master or Tanamo Cross. Katsuragi Ace and Symboli Rudolf |

| Insane ep i thought TC would get it once again but Oguri was closer this time, OYM was the main surprise what a tactician master underdog Still i think Toni Bianca could have won if not hurt, not called the king of Europe for nothing. And Gold City still best uma |
| Deep dark fantasies |
| that was a long ass 400m lmao |
| This was too predictable. Could tell the final result right away. Anyway still happy for Obey your master, she was just born in the wrong place. As for Oguri, looks like she was close to reaching the zone. Idk not feeling this season so far. Been just okay. |
 |
| Well play Obey... |
 |
| Obey Your Master really surprised everyone in this race, huh? No wonder this episode is called "The Wild Joker" due to hyper-focused research and on a course that played to her strengths. I'm glad that Tamamo Cross gave it everything she had, but it wasn't enough as Obey Your Master won the race by a narrow margin. While she only got 3rd place, I'm happy that Oguri Cap got a chance to shine despite suffering from the aggression from Michelle My Baby earlier in the race. Being able to pass Michelle like that which left her shocked was satisfying, but the damage was done and Oguri didn't have enough to close in on Tamamo and Obey. Although the race itself was heated and tense as hell, seeing Tamamo and Obey having a good chat between each other while also respecting each other was really nice to see. Seeing how the other foreign Uma's were getting on after the race was also nice as well. With this race done, the next main one should be the Arima Kinen. I'm hoping this is the race where Oguri will finally find what she is missing and use it to help her win. There's not a lot a time left before the race itself, so hopefully she'll find that missing piece of the puzzle that's holding her back from her true potential. |
| The race was insane as always! Obey your master still won the 1st one, Tamamo Cross 2nd place and Oguri Cap 3rd place, I thought she could win when she came back at the end |
 |
| I guess when she said that Oguri almost made it, I guess she meant breaking the glass and truly becoming a monster with that black mist you see in the OP. Just a guess, however. |
 |
| Brilliant episode this week |
| they excellently manage to make these very exciting. |
| ใใซใฝใณ |
| Another loss for Oguri Cap, she was once again unable to catch up to Tamano Cross or either the winner Obey Your Master. I did think both of them would break for a bit but they kept on going until the end. |

| @Laplace_kun Ellerslie Pride (IRL name Bonecrusher) is indeed a giga fan/simp of Gold City as shown in a couple of extras that the author made for this arc. This is apparently a nod to both horses being super friendly to each other while preparing for the Japan Cup and also supposedly Bonecrusher's jockey was a big fan of Japanese horses. As for Toni's zone, we never got a color page depicting it so it's unknown what color it is in the manga. |
| @Volcanianis thanks for the info! So it is a movie reference after all. Feels great both Bonecrusher and Gold City went along well. Both were old enough to retire by that time and probably went: "hey buddy, what's next? :3" |
