I am not sure if this is a coincidence or is Pop Team Epic truly up to date with all the latest and most obscure anime memes. Kinen special is about trotting races just like 2 other anime series from its season: Golden Kamuy and Uma Musume. This 2 minutes and 15 seconds x2 special contains many other obscurities such as the Super Famicom JRA PAT gambling system. JRA standing for Japan Racing Association. Naturally, we also have my little pony reference here, as well as the Japanese muri meme which Uma Musume also used. While this isn't exactly as convincing and obvious as theBatman Ninja collaboration, I will still give thumbs up to this phenomena. I much rather watch these little things with PTE characters and weird memes that only a true shitposter will understand than Gintama's penis jokes.
