After many trials and tribulations, it is finally time for Team Spica to race in the Spring Tennoushou. Trainer acknowledges that Mejiro McQueen has the advantage when it comes to long distance, but it's hard to imagine Tokai Teio losing after all the growth she's shown. Come what may, everything will be decided at the finish line.

Both Mejiro McQueen and Rice Shower have been practicing hard for the Spring Tennoushou, but the gap between them only grows. Realizing that she has no hope for victory at this rate, Rice Shower disappears right before the race is set to begin.

No longer able to run at full speed, Tokai Teio realizes that she'll never win again. Left with no reason to race, she plans to withdraw from Team Spica, but Trainer asks her to put on one last show for her fans.

As Tokai Teio continues to train in preparation for her return to racing, Mejiro McQueen notices something strange.

The Arima Kinen is the final G1 race of the year, featuring a roster of horse girls selected by fan ballot. Tokai Teio is among the competitors, and this time, she is running with something to prove.
