As a Gen Z fan of Uma Musume Pretty Derby, I am eagerly awaiting the release of Season 3 Episode 13. The previous episode left me on the edge of my seat with Kitasan Black's shocking retirement announcement. Her determination to give her fans one last memorable performance despite her exhaustion is truly inspiring. I can't wait to see how she fares in her final two races and whether she'll be able to secure a victory.
The anime's portrayal of Kitasan Black's struggles and triumphs has resonated deeply with me. Her journey as a horse girl, filled with both triumphs and setbacks, is a reminder that even in the face of adversity, we should never give up on our dreams. I admire her unwavering spirit and her commitment to giving her fans the best possible performance. As a Gen Z fan, I find Kitasan Black's story particularly relatable and inspiring, and I can't wait to see how her story concludes in the upcoming episode.
