Uma Musume Pretty Derby: Beginning of a New Era Details
The sole theatrical Uma Musume release, Uma Musume 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.
Working toward her goal, she enrolls in Toresen Academy, where she begins preparing for the single-entry Classic Triple Crown Race. But to claim that crown, Pokke needs to defeat racers far more skilled than herself.
