whimsy

I love the duet ending with Oguri and Tamamos VAs

Details for episode 14 -------------------------------- March’s side story The first half of episode 14 is based on a gaiden chapter called “The mermaid left behind”. It isn’t part of the main manga, but is a oneshot side story. There are three other gaiden chapters, and so far it seems like the anime is going to adapt them all so you won’t have to go looking for missed side content. The Gifu Okan Sho took place on July 10th, 1988, so we went back in time a bit. It is a bit under a month after the Takarazuka Kinen that Tama won. -------------------------------- Possible mistranslation/ambiguous wording 6:14 March actually beat Oguri twice in real life, though the second one was not shown in the anime or manga. In Japanese the line doesn’t make mention of how many times it happened, so the translator probably just assumed it was once because only one loss is shown in the story. However, Oguri’s two losses are mentioned when she transfers, so the second loss does seem to be canon. -------------------------------- Yamano Thousand’s real name Yamano Thousand is most likely based on Fujino Northern. Details for episode 15 -------------------------------- Nase Fumino and Take Yutaka As you may have guessed, Nase is directly based on Take Yutaka. Nase is just Take with the Hiragana shifted one character over, and the kanji for Fumino and Yutaka can both be read as Bunno when used in a name. A lot of the personal details are also shared, such as their fathers being notable in the same field and both being young prodigies. 36:40 You may be getting the trainer confused with Take, who was known for doing this. You probably already know this, but Take is generally considered to be one of the greatest Japanese jockeys of all time, with numerous records and accomplishments. According to his Japanese Wikipedia page, he has 127 G1 wins, received the JRA jockey of the year award 9 times, has the most wins in JRA history, etc. He is also the jockey with the most earnings, at almost double that of the top earning jockey in North America. Despite being 57 years old, he still races and wins G1s. He jockeyed Admire Groove, Admire Vega, Air Groove, Air Shakur, Deep Impact, Fine Motion, Kitasan, McQueen, Taishin, Suzuka, Smart Falcon, Spe, and numerous others. -------------------------------- Super Creek’s growth/name origin Creek is shown to be smaller than Nase in the flashbacks, which may be a reference to the origin of the horse’s name. Creek was given the name Super Creek in the hopes that he would grow from a small creek into a great river. I don’t know if he was actually physically small in his youth or not though, as he was already pretty big by the time of his debut. -------------------------------- Singers for the ED The ED is sung by the VAs for Oguri and Tama, Takayanagi Tomoyo and Oozora Naomi. -------------------------------- Toni Bianca 43:23 Toni Bianca’s real name is Tony Bin. More about her will be revealed eventually so I won’t list her race record here. Tony Bin was the father of Jungle Pocket, Air Groove, Royce and Royce, Winning Ticket, North Flight, and Sakura Chitose O, in addition to being the grandfather to multiple other notable Umas. He was a pretty significant sire in Japan, being ranked number 1 in 1994 and never placing below number 3 from 1993-2002. -------------------------------- International Horses In the manga, all of the international horses usually speak their own native languages. Would have been cool to see in the anime. When they speak Japanese, it is safe to assume that they are speaking in their own languages unless it is made very clear that they are speaking Japanese. The exception is the mystery Uma at the end, who spoke in a combination of English and Japanese in the manga version of the end credits scene.
