In this brutal, anti-fairytale reimagining of Uma Musume Pretty Derby, Special Week leaves the Hokkaido ranch carrying nothing but her dying mother's last wish and a heart full of blind adoration for Silence Suzuka. What follows is not the triumphant underdog story the world expected. It's a slow-motion train wreck of obsession, rejection, unchecked racism, and self-destruction. One bad decision bleeds into the next: public meltdowns, viral hate, suspensions, failed teams, and a string of humiliating defeats that turn a hopeful country girl into Tracen Academy's most despised outcast. Every time she claws her way back up, the track kicks her harder. Every time she swears she'll prove them wrong, the losses get uglier. Decades later, an old, forgotten mare works alone on a crumbling farm, her memories rewritten into the happy ending she never earned, while the one rival she swore to destroy arrives for the final, cruel laugh. This is the story of what happens when raw talent meets uncontrolled hate, when "never give up" becomes "never learn," and when the finish line is the only exit that was ever truly guaranteed. Warning: Dark themes, discrimination, mental deterioration, no redemption arc, tragic ending.
