Uma Musume Cinderella Gray

The time has come for one last bow, like all your other selves. Eleven's hour is over now, the clock is striking twelve's.

At least Yaeno Muteki is finally winning

Nice.
If anyone deserves to finally get a win, it's her.

Can someone give me a quick summary TL of what happened in chapter 187/188? I've read the raws. But I don't understand this whole clock symbolism they've got going on.
God it's taking the English TL folks way too long to progress. They're still stuck at chapter 136.

I haven't read it yet but I assume it would be alluding to Oguri's time coming to an end, like the the magic in Cinderella wearing off once the clock hits midnight.

I can understand that, but how does that translate to everyone being shocked in pic related? What is happening here? Is her body weakening? I understand that she was hospitalized prior to this run. Was she simply not recovered 100% yet?

Clock strikes 12, cinderella magic is over

That plus mental stress of feeling alone because Inari and Creek retired, which pissed Yaeno because she wasn't recognized by Oguri

Oguri is jobbing in this race

She will job even harder next one

Kitahara...

Haven't read the manga in ages. Are we now during the "Oguri became a fucking jobber" era?

What's the deal here?
why is this uma mindbroken? I assume it has something to do with Oguri's domination but why in particular?
Also why does Osaichi George(?) wear her horn accessory after she leaves it behind?

Not really. We're currently at the race I highlighted. Her previous loss was because of an injury (still got 2nd place). And the current race was lost because she wasn't fully recovered and she's feeling all alone.

only two more races

Nooooo

Post WINNERS

3rd JC jobbing

Oguri Cap more like Oguri Kwab

Those fags release it twice a month for some reason despite CG being a weekly manga

I was wondering why there were so many comments on the intro video for the central umas about Yaeno's hand, but damn, it's kind of crazy how long it took for that setup to pay off. Good for Yaeno, after all this fucking time.
I caught up now. Everyone is shocked because she didn't spurt when she should have. Pretty sure the clock imagery is exactly as it seems, symbolizing that Oguri has passed her peak and the magic has ended.
She's crying about how because Oguri is here, no one cares about them. How in a world with Oguri Cap, there's no point in continuing, and how their generation is called the valley generation because the generation before them had Oguri and the eternal 3 strongest, and the generation after them already has a bunch of promising umas, and how everyone has already given up on them. Which is why she decided to retire and why she left her hair ornament.

I'm honestly impressed with how the mangaka manages to keep a solid quality for the manga despite it being weekly.
Can you spell out that hand thing for me? OK, so when they first met, Yaeno shook Oguri's hand with her left hand. And now there's that SCALING THE WALL AAAAAAAAAAAAAH symbolism with her right hand in the raws. I'm a filthy EOP and I don't understand it.

When they first met, she was jealous that Oguri had already started her racing career in spades while she was had a delayed debut, so she disrespectfully used her left hand to shake.
And by the time she wanted to apologize for her rudeness, Oguri was way beyond her. Which is why she wants to reach her level and apologize and properly shake her right hand. Which is why in this page it's her right hand.

Oh, so that left hand shake was a gesture of disrespect. I assumed that it was some kind of an autistic fighter/martial arts thing since she's a martial artist.
Good payoff then in that case.

I mean it was definitely still an autistic thing, since I'm pretty sure she's the only one who thought of it like that. Oguri definitely didn't notice or care at the very least.

and why she left her hair ornament

So Osaichi George wears it so she can prove that their generation can make it out of the valley? Or is there a different reason?

Meant for

So we're gonna get the full manga adaptation, right? There's no way Cygames is gonna just stop at the Tamamo Cross arc.

tfw the final arc is a big movie with all the budget in the world thrown at it

I'd literally book a flight to Japan just to watch it.

They don't explicitly say it, but it's not hard to imagine why she's wearing her retired friend's ornament.
It would be a real shame if they didn't. Honestly I can only hope the reason they waited so long to adapt it was so they could time it better with the manga's ending and that they'll announce a second season right after the second cour ends.

As I've said before, CG could easily be the definitive AOTD in this age of low effort slop if they adapt everything and don't cut any corners in the process. With their current pace, and assuming the manga ends after like chapter 220-230, we could have everything animated after four seasons and a movie ending.
I just hope the mangaka sticks the landing and gives us the best final arc possible. If that happens, I'd buy the full manga volume collection just to have them decorating my shelves.

Beats Oguri

Gets mad for beating her

What's her problem

She's aware she beat declining Oguri instead of peak Oguri.

11th place? Holy fuck

best girl is back

Yep, I'm expecting another KINO Japan Cup.
