The next Umamusume: Pretty Derby banners debut on July 16, 2025, and Cygames shared what to expect from the new Mejiro McQueen and Tokai Teio Trainee character alts and SSR Kitasan Black Support Card. While the two units aren’t too different from the original, even with the new outfits, skills, and growth rate bonuses, the Support Card is widely hailed to be one of the most influential ones in the game. Every player was also sent 1,500 Carats again.
The Fire at My Heels: Kitasan Black SSR Support card in Umamusume: Pretty Derby is one of two debuting in the game on this banner, and it is acclaimed even now in the Japanese version of the game due to its bonuses and skills. It’s a Speed card that includes possible events that can increase the mood of your character by experiencing them so you don’t need to take part in Recreation. Its Professor of Curvature skill also helps with increasing velocity on turns with a common trigger. She debuts alongside the SSR Stamina Support Card The Will to Overtake: Satono Diamond. While not as helpful as the other top Stamina card Murmuring Stream: Super Creek and its Swinging Maestro skill that recovers stamina on turns, Iron Will can recover stamina if you find yourself blocked at the beginning of a race.
Here’s how both of those look:
In the case of the Trainee character alts, both of them are based on depictions of Mejiro McQueen and Tokai Teio from the anime. Both are three-stars. They also have 10% growth rates in three stats each, rather than two stats where one has 20% and another has 10%. This Mejiro is primarily a Pace Chaser initially who is best at Medium and Long races. She gets growth rate boosts in Stamina, Power, and Wit. She comes knowing the Legacy of the Strong skill. Tokai Teio is also a Pace Chaser who is best at Medium races, and her three Growth Rate areas are Speed, Stamina, and Guts. Her skill is Certain Victory.
