I am glad the last race here turned out the way it did. If Oguri stayed winning the whole time, the show would turn stale real quick.
That's why we don't have Umamusume anime centered on Symboli Rudolf, or why Superman shows are hard to make. When people know that you are unbeatable, they would find it boring.
Regardless of the way it ended, the race still delivered on the hype as usual. The ending of this last episode also set the anime up nicely for future arcs, with rivals in the form of Tamamo Cross, Dicta Striker and the foreign horse.
Thankfully, there's only a one-season break before part 2 of Cinderella Gray; I can't wait to see more of Oguri. This is the only Umamusume anime I found to be on par with Pretty Derby season 2.
On a side note, Legend Changer is the latest song that I'm obsessed with. I thought there's no Umamusume song that can surpass the peak that is Umapyoi Densetsu. But then I discovered Legend Changer and fell in love with it instantly.
I know the tradition is to play Umapyoi Densetsu as the ending song of the last episode for Umamusume anime, but it would be cool if they switch it up with Legend Changer. They have already started changing their formula for story-telling - from the moe-cuteness of Pretty Derby to the more intense drama of Cinderella Gray. They might as well embrace the change all the way by updating their signature ending song.

I know Oguri was supposed to be the center in that Legend Changer concert, but I can't stop looking at Rudolph. She just has that kind of aura 😭
Done!
