I'm still mad af that she hasn't run anymore since season 1 <.<

Well...if you know the real "Suzuka " story I think it is a blessing that they keep her in the story as a horse girl that is running "overseas" and still supports her teammates.

Oh yeah I remember she left for America at the end of Season 1 and in Season 2 she occasionally called from oversea and then in Season 3 she appeared back in the main group as nothing happened...

Still, seeing all the previous "Main characters" just standing there in the back row looking at the "Newer" main character of the current season running it quite hurts for fans of the previous main characters... it's like the show like to remind you that they exist AND they're still right there but will you see them running again? nope! frigging show...
