| Kitasan training arc, very cute that Bourbon and Rice helped her out at the old training area from season 2. Dia handled her loss way better than all the others in all 3 seasons and RTTT New ED with Kitasan A bit disappointed they didn't fully animate Kitasan's Spring Tenno Sho win during the credits, just still images. Edit: Looks like Satono Diamond's maid is actually her trainer, voiced by Hasegawa Akiko (長谷川明子), as shown in the credits. https://twitter.com/uma_musu_anime/status/1717202628072112282  |

| Kitasan has a strong work ethic and desire to succeed. Even if she isn't the strongest or fastest runner out there, she's one of the most determined. Hell, I respect that how hard she works to improve herself. |
 |
| Kitasan is doing her best to become stronger. Nice character development for her in this episode. "Umi da!" Hehe.  |

Kitasan almost Yamcha’d. |
| Well it seems Diamond has her problems as well but at least she has the confidence to move forward. Kitasan's training was extreme but Bourbon is extreme so it was someone expected. Rice shower was showering everyone with rice i really get her name now. |
| Was irl Kitasan also that tough? I like how they replicate irl posters and ads (like how Rice Shower's eyes glowing in season 2 was a reference to an ad. You can google "ライスシャワー the winner" to see it.)) Mihono Bourbon...? Oh, this is the same place Rice Shower trained at! Aaaaa it's so good to see Rice again! How will breaking tiles and climbing help her race lol...? Dia nooo :(. I really want her to win at least once. Kita getting her motivation back and training with that background music got me emotional. A bit disappointing that they only showed Tenno Sho in the ED. Still, congratulations on first place Kitasan! The Rubik's cube's two sides are solved! And on the prize it's written 競馬恩賞 (keiba onshō) - "horse racing reward" (it took me some time to find out what's actually written on there) Edit: it turns out that Kitasan breaking tiles is a reference to her training in the game! This is really cool. |

| What's the point of kidnapping Kitasan with the bed if no one gonna use the bed? Rice Shower was indeed in charge of the rice. Satono Diamond is unbreakable. |
 |
| Kitasan until had to climb a mountain, when they said the training was hardcore they weren't kidding hehe. ⛰️ |
 |
| Kita is doing the ultimate Baki training and seems like she improved, now let's hope she'll win next |

| @Embient From what I know kitasan black never really sustained any serious injury in her career IRL, so at least in this aspect she was pretty tough. |
| Great to see Bourbon and Rice again. They are helping out Kita with her training. Diamond couldn't get the Satsukisho. Derby is her next target. |
| it was a good episode, to see some old characters, to see her training hard etc |

| Definitely not tired of seeing Nice Nature being the best emotional support horse for Kitasan lol, I only wish she went to the training camp with Kitasan but it makes sense why she didn’t. And the training itself was pretty insane, I know horse girls are stronger physically than a normal person, but still lol, Kitasan did bring it on herself tho, and really she would be the one who could do it if she truly is tougher than the average horsie. It was also nice seeing Bourbon and Rice Shower from Season 2 being the ones to train Kitasan, definitely brings back good memories. And we saw Satono Diamond actually lose her race which kinda surprised me, I thought she would be winning from the get go but I’m glad to see she still has a ways to go, and I’m sure she’s frustrated on the inside but it’s cool how she pretty much hyped up her next race instead, I’m sure she’ll actually win that one too because it just seems fitting, and irl horse racing has had crazier situations lol. And with Kitasan actually managing to finish her training, we actually did see her win during the ED, which I’m ngl was disappointing, I think they should have shortened the training and gave us the race because it felt like we were robbed kinda lol, but now I’m expecting some truly amazing races coming up if they’re shortening some like this. |
| HOLY SHIT THIS EPISODE WAS GREAT!!!!!!! Maybe the best full-on training episode so far, and it had so many references to the training animations in the game, 10/10. I loved it so much, Bourbon being Kita's trainer was so unexpected!!! Runners have to help each other I guess. And it was so funny that they brought Rice too just to make their meals, and all she really did was, well, rice lol, but then she baked bread and it was like OMG IN S2 THEY SAID HER FAVORITE FOOD WAS RICE AND BREAD JAJA LOL XD, genuinely loved it! Dia's speech at the end of her race was a great moment too. AND WE GOT TO SEE THIS BLESSED DIA:  ❤️❤️❤️ Nice was so cute at the start, as always, but it sucks that Helios and Palmer got caught/betrayed by Kita lmao, I like Helios a lot. |
Sorry if my english is bad (っ˘▽˘)っ~~~ Btw, cry about it.  |
| It's always frustrating to be so damn close to winning a race, but get beat by a fraction, so for Kitsasn Black to be in this position in a few races must've sucked badly for her. Nice Nature was kind to give Kitsasan some emotional support, but for Kitsasn for overcome this obstacle, she was able to convince Trainer, with some persuasion from Suzuka and Teio, he agreed to help her out. It's really good to see Mihono Bourbon and Rice Shower make a return appearance here, with the former being in charge of the difficult training schedule for Kitasan, while Rice was in charge of making food each day for the whole month of the training programme. Kitasan did run off to see how Satono Diamond got on with her race, but once again, she was fast enough to win the race, thus continuing the Satono jinx of not winning a G1 race. Despite that, her face looked resolute when she told the media that she will win the Japanese Derby. This inspired Kitasan to train as hard as she could and, eventually, she completed her training course a second under 3 hours. After that, she won her next race, with the trophy sitting proudly on her shelf at the end of the episode. While I'm disappointed that her victory was in still pictures rather than being animated (They should've ditched the OP animation just so those 90 seconds could've been used here), this episode as a whole was really good. I do hope Satono Diamond can win in the future. =) |
| I'm just glad that we got to see Rice Shower happy. Best girl deserves only the best. |
 |
| What a very strong training. |
| Out of all training episodes that this series have, this one takes the cake with Kitasan needed to break the roof tiles LMAO |

| Kitasan Black is at a low moment of her life, losing the Osaka Hai by a neck's length, and too close as well at the Arima Kinen, somehow, somwhere, must be lackingKitasan Black is at a low moment of her life, losing the Osaka Hai by a neck's length, and too close as well at the Arima Kinen, somehow, somwhere, must be lackingKitasan Black is at a low moment of her life, losing the Osaka Hai by a neck's length, and too close as well at the Arima Kinen, somehow, somwhere, must be lacking for her. But what she does have is her toughness, and that could be the key to regaining her foothold. But Trainer does not allow her to do so since the risk of injury would be high, just like how Tokai Teio toughened it out last season, and with the horse girls' persistence, he gives it a thought for her to be trained, and a training camp it is while she's gone (or rather, stolen) from Satono Diamond by Team Sirius's Mihono Bourbon and Rice Shower taking care of her meals. As expected, Mihono Bourbon is tough, and she is a relentless horse girl capable of the toughest to instil Kitasan's spirit within a short time. But with all that training, Kitasan begins to feel dizzy, and loses focus on her mental strength, which was key to Bourbon's return thanks to Kuronuma, and now the key for Kitasan to overcome hers as well. Running alll the way to the Satsukishou to see her best friend Satono Diamond fall behind, it looks as if the Satono family curse was getting to her, and she showed no signs of breaking down, only the grit confidence to get better at the next race of the Japanese Derby. And that is the confidence that gives Kitasan her fighting spirit to overcome her hurdles. The Spring Tennoushou is next for Kitasan, and I can't wait to see how much she has improved. |

| Good luck to both Kitasan and Diamond on their next race. Good to see Mihono Bourbon and Rice Shower. |

| Those are some really large tires... the size of almost 2 floor building... . |
