Umamusume: Cinderella Gray (ウマ娘 シンデレラグレイ)

You there! What's your name?

Oguri Cap.

It's gotta be you!。

Please join my team!

I promise you won't regret it!

Who's this?

Kitahara Jones.

Wh-who?

I want to train a real star!

Someone who touches the hearts of fans and answers all their wildest dreams!

An absolute powerhouse!

And I can see that powerhouse in you!

If we put our minds to it, even winning the Tokai Derby is possible!

The T-T-T-Tokai Derby?

B-but that's an SP1 race!

It is.

That race takes the current generation's top runners to determine

the region's best racer!

It's my dream to win it!

And I'll do anything to make that dream reality!

I wanna show them all...

we've got stars here in Kasamatsu too!

So I'm begging you... help make my dream come true,

Oguri Cap!

I don't know about all that...

But I need to join a team to enter races, right?

If that's the case, I'll join your team.

Just let me race.

UMAMUSUME

CINDERELLA GRAY

Once an Umamusume is scouted by a trainer,

EPISODE 2 LET ME RACE she joins their team and is finally able

to start her racing career in earnest.

Regardless of their ambitions or aptitudes,

what awaits these new racers first and foremost...

JUNIOR DEBUT RACE is their first race.

This is it... I think.

Sorry you had to guide me here.

I just kept getting turned around, no matter what I did.

SCHOOL > CLUBHOUSE BUILDING 1F > HERE! You're, uh... pretty bad with directions, huh?

Yeah.

Oh, there you are!

This is where my team meets.

Or well, it would be, if I had one. Haven't scouted anyone else yet.

But that changes today.

TEAM REGISTRATION Once you sign this paperwork,

you'll officially be registered to my team!

Ah...

I can't believe it. She's getting scouted already...

Meanwhile, I'm just...

Here.

Huh?

Hm? You gonna sign it or not?

Huh? B-but I wasn't...

the one scouted...

What's this now?

You haven't been scouted yet?

If you want, feel free to join my team!

I can train the both of you, no problem.

Ah...

Belno?

Huh?

Welcome to the team.

Yeah! I can't wait to train together, Oguri!

All right,

now that we've got that out of the way,

let's see how your current skills measure up.

Okay!

Sorry, could you help me warm up?

Ah, sure.

W-wow...

She really is flexible!

Were you always this flexible?

If anything, it's the opposite.

How so?

I was actually born with really bad knees.

I couldn't even stand up as a toddler.

But my mom would massage my legs every day for hours on end...

And this is the result...

The hell?

That li'l smartmouth's on Dust Bunny's team?

Eh...

Wooow...

Uh...

Well, big deal.

Not like I care what team she's on. Not ooone bit.

Oh yeah. You look toootally unbothered.

When's the wedding?

Shut up!

Uuugh, she really beat us good.

What was even the point of untying her shoes...

Huh? You did what?

Man, that's low... even for you.

Wow, you really didn't notice, huh.

Hmph.

What are you all doing? You're supposed to be training!

Uh-oh...

The drill sergeant is back.

Sigh... I swear, it's like you're not even grateful I scouted you...

Oh pipe down.

You're just salty you lost out on March and got stuck with us.

What? Wh-who said that?

I'm not salty at aaall!

Well, I guess I'm a little miffed he got her over me...

Fujimasa March... Her start really is spectacular.

That instant burst of speed will be her trump card.

I'm thinking she's a front runner

and best suited for sprints.

All right, good time.

Let's take a short break.

No, I'm training more.

I don't think...

And I can see that powerhouse in you!

If we put our minds to it, even winning the Tokai Derby is possible!

The one going to the Tokai Derby is me.

Hm?

Don't mind me. I'm going for another lap.

H-hey!

Looks like her communication skills need some work.

I can't believe you can maintain that form the whole time.

Oguri's stamina... is amazing...

Stamina is one thing, but her strength's insane too.

Her arm movement is fluid,

and her lower body muscles are working in perfect unison.

At this rate,

she'll meet her targets in time for the May 19th debut race no problem.

As for you, Belno...

We'll start by building up your stamina.

Your debut can wait.

O-okay...

Hm?

Cap!

What's up?

How are you not even a little tired?

I've got a suggestion regarding

that form of yours...

So what do you think?

I-I suppose that would increase her speed,

if she can pull it off...

Your debut's not that far off. Wanna give it a shot?

596, 597,

598, 599,

600!

Phew...

One more set.

I woke up a little early today.

Huh?

The cafeteria's open already?

Guess I'll relax and enjoy breakfa...

The rice's gone...

Belno?

G-good morning, Oguri...

That's an awful big breakfast you've got there.

I have to fast until lunch after all.

I don't think you can call the time between breakfast and lunch a fast...

Looks like she went running this morning...

Wait, on the first day of school...

Was she training back then too?

Hey, Oguri?

Why do you run so much?

Ah, I mean, I didn't mean anything deep!

I'm just curious, like, do you wanna be famous,

or is there someone you wanna beat?

Why I run...

Because I can?

Huh?

Ah...

I was actually born with really bad knees.

I couldn't even stand up as a toddler.

Being able to stand and run... That's like a miracle to me.

So even just running makes me happy.

That's all.

You run... because you can.

TRAINER'S OFFICE

Hrm...

Four... no, maybe six?

C'mon, Jo, move your feet!

A-ah, my bad.

Huh?

Where's Shibasaki?

He said he's gonna be cooped up in his team's room.

Something about a race coming up.

Oh?

May 19th's debut race lineup is out!

Pipe down!

Use your inside voice, ya big lug!

Ahaha, sorry 'bout that!

But wait till you get a gander at this lineup!

We're in for a real show!

This year's newbies are really promising, after all.

Although only the best of 'em are ready to...

OGURI CAP, BETHE SUGAR, SOUTH HEROINE, OKAN MAKER

FUJIMASA MARCH

No freaking way...

KASAMATSU TRACEN ACADEMY DORMITORY

Have a good 'un!

Dear Oguri,
