Umamusume Pretty Derby: Beginning of a New Era Details
The franchise’s sole theatrical release, Umamusume Pretty Derby: Beginning of a New Era, centers on Jungle “Pokke” Pocket, an umamusume who wants to stand at the top of the racing world. While she originally chases her dream by running in freestyle races, when she stumbles upon the world of the Twinkle Series, she realizes that’s her road to the top.
