Episode Synopsis
There was once a single Umamusume —
a girl earnest in her running, sincere in her effort, and ordinary in every way.
Yet, within her chest burned a thirst for victory, hotter and stronger than anyone else’s.
To win, she cast away her old self, deceived the world, and crossed the sea in search of the stage she truly deserved.
And thus… she became the Joker.
An Umamusume driven by an unyielding desire to win takes the spotlight in this emotional episode, where ambition and transformation collide on the racetrack.
