The previous episode left the feeling that something was up regarding Tama. The reason for why she is leaving the Twinkle Series after the Arima Kinen may not be so simple. Though this draws an interesting parallel to when Oguri left Kasamatsu. This puts Oguri in the position March was in. She hit the wall in the previous race, where she still wants to beat her rival. But now if she doesn’t beat her in the Arima Kinen, who knows when she ever will?
Some interesting focus on Dicta Striker, who seemed to go through her own slump. Though watching Oguri pushed her forward. Kind of the point is you aren’t only competing against Tama. At the very least it seemed she wanted to help Oguri realize that, even if she won’t admit it.
Belno’s talk with Komiyama was good because she sees what Komiyama is doing for Tama. Now this has Belno going the extra mile. I’m very curious what Belno has planned for Oguri to help her for the Arima Kinen.
