Uma Musume - Pretty Derby S2 - Episode 2 - Teiou Shock

Toukai Teiou received an outsized shock when she learned she had broken her leg and needed needle shot for the pain.

The second episode of Uma Musume gave us the full opening credits showing us Mejiro McQueen and Toukai Teiou having a fun rivalry. There's also an extremely alluring busty horse with red glasses that I'll be looking for as the season progresses.

Teiou came back to school with a cast and all her friends were happy about her positive attitude in getting healthy and back to completing the Triple Crown. We had a fun reference to another workout show. Unfortunately, this regimen includes more needles.

Mejiro McQueen takes her turn in the eye catch and she'll become more important soon for the season with Teiou still rehabilitating her just healed leg.

Sadly, Teiou's leg wasn't ready in time for the last leg of her Triple Crown attempt. She tried so hard, but she kept her promise in pulling the plug when the doctor told he couldn't run at full speed.

Teiou made a special request to Trainer to watch the race she could have won. Watching from the sidelines mimicked her scene as a filly watching Symboli Rudolf race, but the feelings were wistful instead of hopeful celebration. That changed toward the end of the race as she heard her friends and rivals, like Nice Nature and Rionatal, shout encouragement to themselves citing her name. She ran the race in spirit not just for herself but for all the horses on the course. Toukai Teiou made a new goal when she realized she was still hadn't lost the race. She could win the Triple Crown as an undefeated horse. The little horse doesn't dream small!

The end credits had a nice scene of Toukai Teiou joining her hero Symboli Rudolf in the realm of legends. She'll get there soon.
