Hell yeah…peak incoming.

Finale time! I guess I am the inhouse race chronicler, so here we go, it's a long one! Oof, 7th place in the Kyoto Daishoten. Idk if it was because of training too hard without giving the muscles enough time to rest and build up like in the anime, but it was the worst placement Special Week ever got. T.M. Opera O actually got 3rd in that race, though the anime makes it seem like she did as badly as Special Week. Tsurumaru Tsuyoshi was the winner of the race, who was another member of the Gold Generation with Special Week and the rest, but CyGames didn't get the rights to him for a while so he was left out of the anime. The montage of races the rest of Team Spica do is kinda funny. I was curious so I looked into them and based on the jersey numbers all of the races were ones done by the irl horses in their Junior years, aside from Vodka's which was the 2007 Elfin Stakes in February of her Classic year. In the anime Teio's and McQueen's are both of their debut races, which works since in anime canon they are younger than the others and thus they have only now started racing. Vodka and Scarlet are in their Classic years though, so it's odd that they're shown running in some of the first races of their irl careers, rather than in fall races of 2007 which would fit the anime's timeline. Golshi is even worse since she is portrayed as older in the anime, perhaps Suzuka's peer, but the race shown was irl Gold Ship's second ever race. Which took place in 2011, but the irl years don't matter. Just funny because the races portrayed are definitely deliberate, but they don't make sense within the anime's own canon. But as always, the timeline doesn't matter. This is a cute anime about cute horse girls. But I have a mental disorder so I care a lot even though I know I shouldn't. On the topic of Gold Ship, you asked chat if he could have got more wins if he hadn't been so silly. That is of course impossible to say, but there's a reason the 12 Billion Yen incident wasn't called the 3 Billion Yen incident or something. He was very much expected to win hands down, and despite losing like three seconds flipping out in the gate, he caught up to the pack immediately but just couldn't get past them. Also, it seems like even when he was trying in races he might not have been giving it his all, because after retiring his handlers were shocked to see him running a record speeds for fun. He just hated to train or follow orders, like in the anime. As I commented last episode, Special Week won three victories before this losing streak, one of which was one of his most important victories at the 3200-meter Spring Tenno Sho. This is very relevant because he went on to win the Autumn Tenno Sho as well, as seen today. Not very many horses have won both Imperial races, let alone in the same year. It was a big accomplishment. But sacrifices to the record had to be made to push the narrative of Spe-chan being a talented but flawed umamusume and experience personal growth so she could be a compelling protagonist. Yes, there was a horse named Air Jihad, and he was another member of the Golden Generation that will likely never appear in Umamusume if for no other reason than his name. He and Tsuyoshi Tsurumaru are also the only two of the Golden Generation that are still alive today, I believe. Suzuka *shouldn't* have fully recovered from her injury. It was a terrible fracture. But by the powers of friendship and anime she has prevailed! Unfortunately it is but a fantasy, and the Tokyo Open shown in the anime is fiction, as is Sun Visor. As I mentioned after the l'Arc Broye is a stand-in for Montjeu, who was just as much of a big deal irl. That said, Montjeu surprisingly only placed 4th, which lost a lot of people money. And Special Week beat him as well as Indigenous and High-Rise, the 2nd and 3rd placers. Suzuka's son Rascal Suzuka got 5th. Obviously, it's way more exciting for Spe-chan and Broye to have a much closer battle. But regardless, the Supreme Commander of Japan was born! The anime presents Special Week as having a career with more ups and downs than the irl horse had. The real Special Week ran an excellent career with 10 wins out of 17 starts, 4 of which were G1s. Additional context is further needed with him racing along side the rest of the Golden Generation, all very incredible race horses, of which Special Week was the best of the best. King Halo for instance, while known for being a silver collector, was still an exceptional racer, and would have dominated if born a couple years earlier. Special Week was also surrounded by other greats like Stay Gold, who was still kicking despite his age, and Air Groove "the Empress". Special Week's later career also saw him going up against rising stars like T.M. Opera O and Narita Top Road. But more on them in another season. I'm glad you enjoyed season 1. It's... got its issues, but it's still a perfectly fine show in its own right. It pretty much saved the mobile game from development hell with its success in Japan. But it is certainly overshadowed by the rest of the anime. I hope you will enjoy season 2 and more to follow!
