A quick recap of Uma Musume Pretty Derby season 3 episode 11
The anime depicted Kitasan Black (Image via Studio Kai) in episode 11, bidding farewell to Satono Diamond at the airport as she departed for France to compete in the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe event. Kitasan Black appeared perplexed as she grappled with her declining performance despite intense training. Her senior, Gold Ship, suggested that she may have reached her peak and could no longer match her previous speed. This realization shattered Kitasan Black, as she feared she may never race again.
Amidst challenging times, Kitasan was touched by the support of her local community as they prepared banners for her victory. Instead of competing in the Grand Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe event, she chose to participate in a local competition to show her appreciation to her fans. With their love and support, she trained harder than ever to meet their expectations.
Meanwhile, Satono Diamond placed 15th in the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe event, according to the newspapers. Despite a difficult start and poor track conditions due to rain, Kitasan Black persevered and emerged victorious in the Tenno Sho event, securing her sixth G1 race win. The exhausting race pushed her to her limits, but she was grateful for the support that got her through.
