In such a game "Uma Musume", the second part of the second part of the main story, "Seeds to You, Hope Comes Around", will finally be released on July 22, 2025! The story of Rhinecraft, Cesario, and the horse girls of Team <Askela> also reaches its climax.

Therefore, in this article, we will play back the scenario of the middle part of the second part of the main story, which continues with the second part, "Stars in Midsummer, Flowers in Late Autumn". Please take this opportunity to join us. Please note that this article contains major spoilers for the story.

Before the middle part, let's first look back at the first part

First of all, the first part of the second part of the main story "When Hikari shoots and sprouts! Let's review the main points of "Let's review the main points.

• The protagonist of the story is Asquera, < team>
• The main pillars of Team <Askera> are the trainer and King Halo (voiced by Iori Saeki)
• Team <Asquera> is joined by Linecraft (voiced by Nanae Kojima) and Cesario (voiced by Haruka Sato)
• Powerful rivals such as Air Messiah (voiced by Yuna Nemoto) and Daring Heart (voiced by Shio Kimizu) are also on the rise
• The horse girls of the tiara line clash at the Sakura Flower Prize, and the crown goes to the line craft!
• Rheincraft ran in the NHK Mile Cup and won the irregular double crown

…… So, the rapid progress of > < Askela begins with the fruits of King Halo's efforts</b11>

The rising star of the team < Askela> is Reincraft & Cesario. It was said that the Triple Tiara route (Ohka Sho, Oaks, Shuka Sho) that the two were aiming for would not attract more attention as a race than the Classic Triple Crown route (Satsuki Sho, Japan Derby, Kikuka Sho) at this point, but they don't care about that.

In the tiara line of the same generation, there were promising horse girls such as Air Messiah and Daring Heart, and the Sakura Prize was the place where they fought a serious battle Are. Reincraft & Cesario, who belong to the same team but can't give up their dreams to each other, and a trainer who is caught between the two. At the end of a fierce battle in which their intentions intersected and their intentions collided, the crown of cherry blossoms was crowned by Linecraft.

As an aside, the song of the winning live on the Tiara line is "Aya Phantasia". Needless to say, it is a well-known masterpiece, but at the time of the first part, the singing of characters such as Linecraft and Cesario was not included in the game. They are currently firmly in the singing lineup, so if you haven't heard them sing yet, be sure to check them out ......!

Now, back to the story after the Sakura Flower Awards. After the Sakura Sho, it was customary to move on to the Oaks, but the trainer suggested a way to avoid the Oaks and proceed to the NHK Mile Cup, considering the distance suitability of the linecraft. Linecraft also put an end to his dream of a triple tiara by clashing with Cesario, and went into the NHK Mile Cup, where he defeated Daring Heart and others to win the irregular double crown.

Episode 1 ~ Episode 3 Caesario and Air Messiah who competed for their dreams in the Oaks

Here's the story of the middle part. In a TV appearance, Reincraft and his trainer reflect on their hoof prints and declare that they will entrust their dream of winning the Oaks to their best friend, Cesario. Cesario also felt the strength of the feelings entrusted to Reincraft.

Just then, Cesario was challenged by Air Messiah to a practice match under the same conditions as the Oaks, and he was put on the ground......。 Witnessing his own pride and the ability and tenacity of his rivals, Caesario is troubled. At that time, she happened to stop by a church and met Uma Musume Symbolicris, who won the Emperor's Prize (Autumn) in a row. It's a scene that makes you cringe when you know the combined track record of the racehorses Cesario and Symbolicris, which became the motif.

It's finally Oaks day. In order to clear the regret of his mother, who was once defeated in second place, Air Messiah was burning with fighting spirit. However, there is no longer any hesitation for Cesario, who had the best training partner in the form of Symbolicris. As soon as the race started, he was trapped inside surrounded by other horse girls, but he still believed in his legs and spurted with a strong tail. Cesario wins the Oaks and is crowned Queen of Oaks.

When Air Messiah is overwhelmed with frustration that he can't break the spell from his mother's generation even after making it this far, Caesario says, "You were strong...... and that strength awakened me." Her face was radiant as she successfully fulfilled her promise to her comrade Reincraft.

Episode 4 ~ Episode 6 Cesario goes to the United States in search of his own path

At the celebration party, Reincraft talks about his dream of winning the Autumn Prize and aiming for the "Triple Crown". Vodka (who has not yet debuted at this point) can't hide his excitement at the endless dream. Cesario, on the other hand, was wondering where to find his own path, which was different from the linecraft. She has a strong desire to "leave her own path," and her trainer shows her an invitation to the American Oaks, a GI race held on the west coast of the United States.

It was mentioned in the work that no Japan horse girl had yet won the GI race in the United States, and that the horse girl, who is famous as the strongest in Japan, had lost the previous year. However, even in such unexplored territory, Caesario is not intimidated. Inspired by the fact that Sweep Tosho achieved the feat of becoming the first horse girl from the tiara line to win the Takarazuka Kinen in 39 years, she was determined to take on the challenge of the American Oaks.

Cesario and King Halo arrived in Los Angeles one step earlier than their trainers. King Halo is a young lady in an unfamiliar foreign country, but she devotedly supports Cesario. Along the way, King Halo discovers the pressure his trainer must have felt when he ran in the Japan Derby in the past, and how his mother felt when she was against letting him race.

Even in the scene where he tries to rely on the trainer by expressing his anxiety on an international call, the bond and growth of the heppoko duo are also evident...... Precious.......

At this time, the trainer remained in Japan and traced the record of Uma Musume, who challenged the American Oaks with the "genius" trainer the previous year but lostWe were making careful preparations. Due to the delay of the departure flight, the trainer did not arrive at the site until just before the start of the race, but he managed to challenge the American Oaks with a perfect system (King Halo, who is angry with a look of relief here, is cute again ......).

While receiving encouragement from Uma Musume, a pioneer who had set his sights on overseas countries such as Sirius Symboli and Seeking the Pearl through his trainer, he took to heart the advice based on his past record, "Don't panic even if the pace is slow," and it was finally time to run Cesario.

The race slowed down as expected, with Cesario ...... to take the lead from the middle of the race. However, she does not panic and continues to run, believing in her legs. Feeling the hoof prints of the pioneering horses, and feeling the back of his comrade Reincraft in his heart, he ran like a chase of the flow of a great river - with a record victory, Cesario won the Oaks in Japan and the United States.

This is, of course, an unprecedented record. In a post-race interview, Caesario was asked "Why didn't an Uma Musume like you win two races ago?" and Cesario mentioned the name of the linecraft, and Uma Musume, who became the third runner-up, became interested in going to Japan, but this was the motif of the 2005 American OaksFor those who are familiar with "Oh, ......?" (if you don't know, it may be interesting to search for it).

By the way, Santa Anita Park, which is a course, can be run freely by selecting the 2R "American Oaks Dream". At the moment, this is the only place where you can run in Santa Anita Park, so I would like you to see your favorite horse girl run in the United States at least once! The sound of the start and the announcement of the race results are also full of highlights in the American Oaks specification.

Episode 7 ~ Episode 11 Salvation and Despair Remaining After the Autumn Prize

After returning to Japan, Uma Musume of the Tiara line went to a summer training camp. The dance competition, which suddenly started on the beach, seemed to be Daring Heart's sole performance, but it ...... into a fierce battle for points due to the intrusion of King Halo, who lays the judges (trainers) on their buttocks.

At the evening barbecue, they also talk about each other's futures, and Rheincraft, Air Messiah, and Daring Heart talk about their thoughts on the Autumn Prize. Meanwhile, Cesario talks about the prospect of continuing to race in the United States, but just as she is about to do so, pain strikes her right leg.

――It was severe ligamentitis. Cesario was sentenced to the worst sentence for an Uma girl who could not promise a complete cure, but her heart was surprisingly calm. She talks about her dream of not aiming to recover from an injury, but rather to be involved in the path of training the next generation using the injury as an opportunity. In response, the trainer gently pushed my back, saying, "I want you to make your dream come true."

In this way, Cesario decided to recuperate with a view to returning to school while taking care of the children at a small horse girl school in the countryside. The story of the two men who competed for the Triple Tiara came to an end, and the heavy dream of the irregular Triple Crown was entrusted to Rheincraft.

Meanwhile, Air Messiah continues to train hard with Air Shakar while chewing on his defeat in the Oaks. He vows to his mother that he will achieve his long-cherished wish "this time," but she tells him that the name Air Messiah is entrusted with the thought of "salvation" rather than "revenge." He sent her out to save him from the curse of blood. Remembering the words to Caesario in the Oaks, he runs not for anyone, but just for glory. That was the path that Air Messiah chose. She brilliantly defeats Reincraft in the outpost.

In fact, on the classic route at this time, the heroic Uma Musume, who won the Satsuki Prize and the Japan Derby undefeated, became a hot topic. Along with the achievement of the Triple Crown, it was attracting attention that if Linecraft won the Shuka Prize and won the "Irregular Triple Crown", it would be a year that would go down in history. However, this put pressure on Reincraft to push him mentally as well. Of course, the absence of Cesario also sounded.

Then, the Shuka Prize was held. Daring Hart stalled. It was a fierce dead heat between Air Messiah and Line Craft, but it was Air Messiah who won in the end. She runs to save herself and finally fulfills her long-cherished wish of winning the GI.

The state of mind at this time is also firmly sung in the character song "Ten Returning Flowers" of Air Messiah. It is a character song of "Uma Musume" with all famous songs, but this "Ten Return Flowers" is a gem ballad. I'm sorry to talk about my personal impressions from here, but first of all, the title is amazing. Flowers that bloom out of season in early autumn are called "return flowers," so it's hard not to compare them to the victory at the Autumn Flower Prize.

In addition, "tokaeri" is a word that is also used as another name for pine flowers because there is a legend that it blooms once every 100 years by repeating it 10 times. A flower of salvation that did not bloom long enough to become a long-awaited wish of parents and children, and finally bloomed in the unseasonable autumn - when you think about it, there is a certain amount of emotion, isn't it......?

The song begins with a sad reminder of the curse, but the lyrics also include a lyric in which she is proud of the "crown she has connected" that bloomed for herself, and writes about her feelings for "you" who gave birth to her.

The gentle but positive tone of the song that seems to enter the heart and seep into the heart, combined with the wonderful singing of Mr. Nemoto as Air Messiah, makes it even more convincing. If you haven't listened to it, I hope you will enjoy it along with the main story.

…… Returning to the Autumn Prize, in contrast to the euphoric Air Messiah, Reincraft was on the verge of despair. I thought, "If I had won the irregular triple crown, the tiara route would have been more popular," and I kept running, but I couldn't win. The condition is getting worse day by day. Finally, she began to feel as if she was disappearing without accomplishing a historic feat.

The 3R "Closed Light" is a race that seems to embody the despair of linecraft. The negative effect of the race-exclusive skill "Suppression of the Spoon" is tremendous, so even a well-trained Uma Musume can feel like sinking (even if you lose, you can move on). It's not impossible to win, but it's difficult if you don't prepare very carefully.

Episode 12 ~ Episode 13 The light grasped by Linecraft sinking into despair

In his dream, Reincraft heard the words, "Destiny is unchangeable." Gradually, she doesn't even know the line between reality and dreams. She even went so far as to say that it was normal for her to disappear without leaving anything behind.

However, the trainer said, "Even if you give up, if someone doesn't give up, your dream will come true, so I won't let you forget your linecraft 10 years from now."I will persuade you. These are exactly the words of the experience of struggling desperately with King Halo to reach victory, no matter how much he can't win. His sincere words reminded him of the day when he and Caesario were moved by the Takamatsunomiya Memorial run.

After a break of about three months, Linecraft came in second place at the memorable Takamatsunomiya Memorial. Then, in the Hanshin Uma Musume Stakes, a prelude to the Victoria Mile, she made a stunning comeback by beating rivals such as Daring Heart and Air Messiah. Rivals share the victory with King Halo and applaud.

And there was also a horse girl who admired her running and tried to inherit her soul. One of them was Fusaichi Pandora.

Fusaichi Pandora (voiced by Moe Kahara). Although she calls herself a genius, Fusaichi Pandora is content with being out of her clothes at the Sakura Flower Prize and plays the role of a backup dancer in Winning Live with regret. Considering the racehorse that became the motif, it seems likely that a drama with Kawakami Princess and Almond Eye will be depicted, ......?

From here, I would like to give my personal opinion, but I think that the charm of "Uma Musume" lies in the fact that it cherishes the hoof marks traced by the racehorse that became the motif—in other words, fate. In many anime, not only the results of the race, but also the racehorses that became the motif, including the carrying, are expressed to follow the hoof marks of the race.

On the other hand, in "Uma Musume", it is not impossible to depict a different fate. For example, one of them is Aston Martin. Uma Musume's Aston Martin strives to remain in people's memories, but she is attacked by a phenomenon that gradually disappears from people's memories after early spring. This can only be done considering the hoof prints of racehorses that became the motif. However, thanks in part to the presence of a trainer in the game, she is able to grasp a new destiny (...... I cry no matter how many times I read it).

And Aston Martin isn't the only one with these horses. Uma Musume such as Silence Suzuka, Rice Shower, and Kayes Miracle also have a future to run, and Ayabe-san (Admire Vega) is the same in the place where I was impressed.

Anime "Uma Musume Pretty Derby ROAD TO THE TOP"As trainers who have seen the game or read the game's training scenario "Gemini of Destiny" know, her fate after the Kikuhana Prize was carried by "that girl". I think the appeal of the content of "Uma Musume" is that it shows us the future that many people would have hoped for without drastically changing the development of the race.

At the end of the middle part, Reincraft once again embraced the idea of leaving brilliance for the future, and that thought became the light that shone into the future that was about to be closed. I can't predict what will happen in the second part of the main story, but I'm looking forward to seeing how Fusaichi Pandora and the others will carry the feelings entrusted to them.

The second part of the main story, "Seeds to You, Hope Comes Around," will finally be released on July 22, 2025. Let's watch the story of > < Asquera team through to the end. <b11>
