🐎 The Return of Oguri Cap — Racing Beyond Limits

The world of Umamusume is unlike any other—where legendary racehorses are reborn as determined girls called “Umamusume”, each carrying the spirit, speed, and pride of their real-world counterparts. In “Cinderella Gray Cour 2,” our silver-haired heroine, Oguri Cap, faces the ultimate test: the Japan Cup, where champions from across the world gather to compete for glory.

Her rivals are faster, stronger, and more polished—but as Oguri says in the new trailer,

“A race isn’t over until I decide it is.”

With that fiery determination, Oguri sets out to prove that even an unorthodox runner can outshine the rest on the world’s biggest stage.

The second cour kicks off with international Umamusume arriving in Japan, each representing different racing traditions and countries. This sets up not just physical races, but emotional and cultural clashes—each runner representing their homeland’s pride and legacy.

As the stakes rise, “Cinderella Gray Cour 2” explores what it truly means to be a champion. It’s not just about crossing the finish line first—it’s about running for something greater: friendship, pride, and self-belief.
