Uma Musume

[runic whale]

Vodka is at B while she's a D+, I think Daiwa's trainer would be mad at me lol

[sudden sundial]

They're both a must train for all newbies

[runic whale]

Daiwa is free and she's a great stayer

[sudden sundial]

Vodka, Daiwa, Grass Wonder and El Condor Pasa make a sparks loop

Sparks are not something to be concerned with for a medium to long while, but it's good to put the four in the feedback loop when doing careers with them, so they're constantly improving each other. https://gametora.com/umamusume/legacies#loop-example

[runic whale]

I still want to let teio win her deserved triple crown

I don't pay mind to legacies tbh, i just get the ones with over 6* sparks as a little boost to save 3-4 turns

[potent trail]

ooh thank you for sharing

[runic whale]

And the ones that I turn an A to an S

Glad to have my golshi be an S at end closer 🙏

Not too shabby, ay?

Then golshi

Lore accurate golshi, actually

I think she had 7 G1 wins?

[sudden sundial]

The ancient horse texts say at least 6

Race records: [13-3-2-10], including a double crown win in 2012 (Satsuki-Sho, Kikka-Sho), the ‘12 Arima Kinen (GI), two Takarazuka Kinens (2013-14) and the ‘15 Spring Tenno-Sho (GI). 

For a silly horse, this is an amazing race record.

[cobalt ermine]

Emperor failed a 1%

I swear, I cannot train this woman

[lime stream]

this group is cursed

[cobalt ermine]

This is fucking horseXCOM

[sudden sundial]

The Emperor's will is absolute

She sees the 1% and takes it as a challenge

[cobalt ermine]

GOD

This feels targeted

[runic whale]

How

[cobalt ermine]

I don't remeber if my rant about feeling called out by her was here or in Ix's Dms

[runic whale]

The worst I've had is golshi failing 9% and getting mood down event

[lime stream]

it was in DMs

[cobalt ermine]

but the fact I have failed two <10%s on this run and have yet to so much as get halfway through

[runic whale]

Patiently waiting for godship

[runic whale]

A sign to reset

[sudden sundial]

Listen some runs are just cursed, there's nothing you can do when the RNG hits

[runic whale]

RNG is very strange in races

[sudden sundial]

Reset and do a new career, maybe with a new horse

[runic whale]

My body is a machine that turns no. 1 favorite, and great mood into 18th place

Then if i use alarm clock she wins

Sometimes you get boxed in sometimes you don't

What i love about umamusume is there isn't a meta uma

Train who you want and roll for who you love

[lime stream]

as I understand it, there is a meta per uma?

[sudden sundial]

Most times that's just bad luck and that's what the retry is for, assuming you have at least two of the three circles when it comes to predictions

[runic whale]

an excuse to roll for suzuka

[runic whale]

There's general meta but you can build an uma who specializes in dirt and sprint into a long and turf monster

[sudden sundial]

Other times, there's just no chance for your horse to win the race. The training and/or skills are insufficient.
I'm starting to get a feel for that and saving clocks, though it's mostly about me learning when to accept the L

[runic whale]

haru urara arima kinen perfect build

If you fail at golshi, don't blame the game its legitimately her fault

[cobalt ermine]

It's more accurate to say theres a meta per race and horses prefer certain races

This is, for the record, my fifth glue emperror run

every other run I've done recently has gotten to the end

[runic whale]

I actually haven't quit a career yet

[cobalt ermine]

This might be my first

But I feel guilty fi I do that

feels like it would make the horse sad

[sudden sundial]

She's glue either way brother

[runic whale]

I just play them until they lose

Then I transfer them into glue factory after the match if i train a better one

[sudden sundial]

Yeah no reason to keep 10 Emperors in the stable, 9 of them can go to the farm up state

[runic whale]

The "farm", gotcha

[cobalt ermine]

Just because death is inevitable doesn't mean we should make life miserable

[sudden sundial]

Unless a bad horse somehow rolled incredible sparks, but that's unlikely

[runic whale]

A ranch called glue factory

[sudden sundial]

Well there's a nice picture of a farm in that menu

But it will never not be funny to say it's glue

[runic whale]

My spe always gets 3* on med

[sudden sundial]

The stat that's picked for Sparks is complete random I believe, but the spark picked for track I think is slightly waited by the affinities

[runic whale]

I guess she loves running medium

[sudden sundial]

My bad, it's not a farm

I guess I just accepted it as a field and never looked at it

[runic whale]

I hope the people who got kitasan banner fail single digit failure trainings

[sudden sundial]

Except the one you borrow from

[runic whale]

Nah, all of them

I would borrow but still be spiteful

Maybe i should set the fine nature card as the one people can borrow

[cobalt ermine]

Guts does not make sense to me

[runic whale]

Yes, its useless atm

[sudden sundial]

It's okay it doesn't make sense to anyone

[runic whale]

Don't believe her lies btw

You know who "her" is

If she tells you your trainee needs more guts, your trainee needs skills

[sudden sundial]

The Green Demon

[cobalt ermine]

SHE IS

[runic whale]

If she says:
More power = stam
More speed = power
More stamina = better skills

Her only upside is she's cute

[sudden sundial]

SR cards are fairly competitive, specially if they're 5 or 10 levels above an SSR alternative.

[lime stream]

so she does do something in the game

[sudden sundial]

Depends a lot on the card though of course

[sudden sundial]

I cannot comment on whether this is correct or not for what The Green Demon says. My advice would be to ignore everything she has to say

[runic whale]

She gives fake advice

Don't believe her lies

[sudden sundial]

With Sprint, you want about 300-400 Stamina, about 800-900 for Long, and in between your best extrapolation

Power you want more the further back your running strat is. Goldshi being the poster horse of End Closers for example, I think she's fine with 400 but 500 is safe.

300 wit is a 70% chance to trigger your skills. Guys is useless

Speed you always want the maximum you can get with everything else considered

[runic whale]

Yes that's true

Girls 🔥

Speed > Stam > Power > Wit =/= Guts (don't even consider)

Though I'd place wit a bit higher ngl

Speed > Wit?

[sudden sundial]

You're gonna train wit whether you want to or not, it raises friendship and recovers a tiny bit of energy

No need to put it in any priority

[runic whale]

Still, it's up there, pretty great if you get rainbow for it

[sudden sundial]

I mean the lowest roll of energy regen you can get from Rest is like 3 Wit trainings. Unless even the wit training failure chance is in the yellows, I'd rather do that

Rest feels too wasteful

[runic whale]

I use rest because i treat my umas like real people

[sudden sundial]

Horse must run, it can sleep while running

[cobalt ermine]

:pushingtoomanypencils:

[sudden sundial]

[runic whale]

I have a hard time letting go of most of the ones i have sitting in vet

Like, if i get a B+ Golshi to replace my C one, i wouldn't transfer her

[sudden sundial]

It's glue I'm afraid

[runic whale]

Look at how many dupes i have lol

Maybe i just get too emotionally attached to them

[cobalt ermine]

TM Opera O in this timeline is apparently a goddess

She has slapped every race she has been in

that was a 10L victory

[runic whale]

Will train super freak

I want to experience her "freaky"

[lime stream]

you mean the CENTURION CHAMPION?

I need to double-check what the subs used for that

[cobalt ermine]

Well she is apparently that, if only to continuelly rub Emperors nose in it

[sudden sundial]

Undefeated?

That's so cool and so hard to get

Horses love throwing

Specially with URA Finale at the end

[runic whale]

For some reason the ura finale is harder

[cobalt ermine]

Yeah the undefeated prince

holy fuck

[sudden sundial]

I thing the URA Finale expects about 100-200 more in every stat than the numbers I previosuly gave

Tho RNG also seems to be higher, seeing how I've never been anything but the Number 8th fave when winning

[cobalt ermine]

Yeah

Alarm check

[runic whale]

I was number 2 fav in golshi qualifier

[cobalt ermine]

My champion hharu went from last to first

. . . yeah

[runic whale]

Im pretty happy that vodka brought herself together and won for her girlfriend

She's my 2nd career winner, funny enough

So my win rate (good endings) is 2 - 28

[cobalt ermine]

Vodka was one of my first too

I'm very fond of her

[runic whale]

My first is unironically... Guess

Bakushin O!

She's so easy, literally don't do anything but s p e e d

When i reached 1200 speed.. Idk what i did

Wit i think

Hoping to get speed into A then focus on stam power and wit

Feeling good about this

I think the oguri cap sparks are stam

Heard goose is the only ume that flirts with trainer

I mean mayano

[lime stream]

I think that depends on what qualifies as a "flirt"

[runic whale]

Teases you with i love you and asks you out on dates

I heard her good ending event is also flirty

And onsen event if you get the ticket

[lime stream]

damn

are you trying to tell us one of the horses is hetero

[runic whale]

Right?? Like sorry mayano your heart is in the wrong place

It should be in..
*looks around for lonely uma

Matikanetannhausër

[runic whale]

Please cygames pleasepleaseplease make double turbo playable

Twin jet

[sudden sundial]

She'll come out eventually

I know she's playable in JP

[runic whale]

Double jet??

Ugh more gambling

Hope she's 1*

[cobalt ermine]

Trainer can be girl

So more like bi potential

[runic whale]

I have mine set to female so technically its still gay!

For the gaymers playing the game:
Minimum wit is 300,ideal is 400~

ok, maya

[sudden sundial]

Yandere Top Gun is top tier

[runic whale]

Yandere is a stretch but definitely a dere or something

[runic whale]

This woman lost her debut BTW

Placed 5th?????

?

Maya you're not getting pats for 50 turns

[cobalt ermine]

Undefeated scarlet

[sudden sundial]

fang

Now train a B+ Vodka so they can fight and have horsegirls together

[runic whale]

Flesh fang = cute

Speaking of tsunwa scarlet, i will train a B scarlet so they can marry

[cobalt ermine]

[sudden sundial]

Surprised it's only day 3 https://www.rxddit.com/r/UmaMusume/comments/1m267cq/maintaining_the_vodka_x_scarlet_agenda_day_3/

[lime stream]

they've been doing this long enough to invent meta-tsundere

[runic whale]

Fuck you

RIGHT BEFORE TENNO SHO

I'm asking you to ATLEAST place 3rd

No. 6 fav this run is dead

Nvm, good girl good horsie

feeling this right now I'm going to bed

[cobalt ermine]

Okay, Frontrunner Emperor

No way this goes bad right

[runic whale]

Don't front run my girl

She's good as late/pace

[runic whale]

This is so true

Golshi is the mejiro thirdwheel

Honestly, golshi typa gal to order 2 number 9s,a number 9 large, a number 6 with extra dip, a number 7,2 number 45s, one with cheese, and a large soda

[runic whale]

Don't teio and McQueen do enough of that already

Like, Jeez save some gay for the rest of us

Actually

Not enough

Do more

[cobalt ermine]

5th place

you cannot be serious

[runic whale]

Front? See I told you

[cobalt ermine]

no it was not front

[lime stream]

LOL it's called the "Kizuna Gauge" in Japanese

but no mech summoning when it's full sadly

I did not realize Bakushin was this in love with the sound of her own voice and also name

[runic whale]

Yea she sings bakushin bakushin bakushin when training and running around the halls

I love how airheaded and confident she is

[lime stream]

oh Power is (also) acceleration

[runic whale]

Acceleration and ability to break out of the pack if you get boxed in

Late surgers and end closers need it

[lime stream]

right, I'd previously only heard that it helps pushing past other racers

[cobalt ermine]

Okay, well she's coming through on the triple crown at least

C'mon girl

[runic whale]

But not undefeated triple crown

Having S in an aptitude is so nice tbh

[cobalt ermine]

if she triple crowns i will be happy

we're still so cursed

[runic whale]

You should take a break from rudolf

Maybe she's upset with you

[cobalt ermine]

I cannot

It would be tantamount to giving up on my own self, it simply must be done despite all protests

[lime stream]

it's personal now

and also the entire time

[cobalt ermine]

Yes

It started personal and got only moreso

[runic whale]

I hate you mayano top gun

[cobalt ermine]

👑 👑 👑

[runic whale]

Top gun more like bottom melee

[cobalt ermine]

by 9L too

[runic whale]

How is it possible to get 3 mood down events in every 1 turn??

[sudden sundial]

She caught you talking to other uma

[runic whale]

El my new best friend now

[runic whale]

Good, she better watch when i take el to ura finale

[sudden sundial]

El Condor Pasa can do no wrong, she has never let me down

Never had a run below B with the best named horse of all time

[runic whale]

I will make mayano watch

[lime stream]

that feels right; even Condor's famous "loss" abroad was an impressive narrow 2nd

[runic whale]

I think it was 3/4?

Still really impressive, is she the only Japanese uma that reached podium?

I think kita's girlfriend came in... 15th?

[sudden sundial]

No I think there's some who finally managed to win stuff abroad, but they're recent horses. 2010s or so and later

[runic whale]

Well, we meant the f*ance race

[sudden sundial]

But for 40 years it was the unreachable goal. Every horse that was outstanding in Japan went abroad and got destroyed. Really sad to hear

[runic whale]

The one with the raging blonde lesbian

[lime stream]

yeah Satono did not do as well

[runic whale]

I felt bad for satono

Her relationship with Kitasan felt strained

||after Kita decided to retire||

I cried when she broke the jinx tho

Damn you horse girls! Making me feel feelings

[cobalt ermine]

I think the key is I cannot skip her races

I have to watch them all the way

Or she gets mad and loses

[runic whale]

Rudolf tsun real??

Imagine having a massive uma like her act like a tsun over you

Scary

[lime stream]

I don't think "tsun" is the word for "watch me or else"

[sudden sundial]

Looks like nopony from Japan has won L'arc. Ovfevre also got a 2nd like El

The dream lives on

[runic whale]

True

Threatening

Wait

Yandere?

yea yandere is the word i meant to use

I need to know

Is All Haiyu a mishear of Ohayo??

And why did kitasan say herro

[sudden sundial]

We've all fallen for this gambler's fallacy and I'll keep falling for it

[cobalt ermine]

Well my watchful eyes just won her another 8L victory so

[lime stream]

the trivia sheet says All Haiyu is probably an expy for unlicensed horse Gold Actor

[runic whale]

Sired by gold ship i bet

Oh wow, her grandpa is grass

wonder

[cobalt ermine]

. . . is the girls being the height of actual horses canon or was that just a lot of excellent fanart I saw

[lime stream]

according to the anime, humans and umas are around the same ranges of heights

despite humans needing thousands of years of technology to mimic a fraction of their power

[sudden sundial]

Big umas is really good fanon tho

[lime stream]

we do know that the heights of individual umas are usually based on the irl horse heights though

[sudden sundial]

I wish it was so

[cobalt ermine]

I want this to be real

[lime stream]

I mean we all do but that's another topic

[cobalt ermine]

WHOA

that was an 84 speed turn

holy shit, most productive training ever

[lime stream]

actually this is also pretty heavily implied by the game since you're a human trainer, right? so if they were that huge, that first person camera would be constantly looking up

[cobalt ermine]

You're just always wearing platform shoes

or you bring a ladder

[cobalt ermine]

Normal things to say to a rival

[lime stream]

to be fair that's a serious risk if you get between Oguri and her rice bowl

[cobalt ermine]

Seven Crowns won

No Skip rule remains in effect

Well it wasn't perfect

But otherwise we finally did it

[runic whale]

Finally

I can play uma 24/7 again

And finish s2

finished s3 before s2

I wonder if they got children to draw this

[open summit]

No just a programmer

[sudden sundial]

New day new Emperor

[runic whale]

Omg free carats

Lets go gambling

[sudden sundial]

I'm still in pre-debut and this horse already failed a 15%

Why does she hate her subjects

And she has practice perfect!

[runic whale]

Is practice perfect good? I always have it

Think all of my horsies get them

[sudden sundial]

It's better than not having it

I think with Kitasan Black it's almost guaranteed to get it, the "training manual" option on one of her events seems to give it every time

It's like the tiny horse that gives Charming

[sudden sundial]

She's glue

This fucking horse fails a rainbow with 5 friends on the training then gives me a golden inspiration, she's trolling me

She's trolling me!

[runic whale]

Idk why but the teio event with my teio card always gets practice perfect

I get it like 2 turns into career

Lmaoo lore accurate Japan Cup

El gaps Spe

Also,,, she started fronting when she's pace??

[sudden sundial]

And she goes on to win the Satsuki Sho with bad mood by 3L

She does whatever she wants. I'm not in the driving seat

[runic whale]

She's mad and expresses her anger by gapping everyone

Hmm, maybe i should do wit

Her stamina is kinda lacking though

But El is medium anyway

[sudden sundial]

Emperor has decided she does not want a triple crown

I'm an spectator to her career

Also infirmary didn't cure her condition so I have to go again

[runic whale]

El is gonna lose the arima kinen

No. 7 fav, regular mood... I don't have much fate in her

[sudden sundial]

But you forgot that El Condor, Pasa

[runic whale]

LET'S
GO
THAT'S MY EL

[sudden sundial]

El Condor always Pasa

Winning the Japan Cup by 2L and getting 45k fans, that's definitely Emperor coded

[runic whale]

.... Yup im doing recreation after this turn

She seems to win if her mood is Good

[sudden sundial]

She's, like, the happiest horse so it fits her

Has that genki energy

Arima Kinen by 4L, another 45k fans. Rudolf please

Haru could never

[runic whale]

Fuck rng they boxed her in

[runic whale]

Well, haru is dirt and sprint

Arima kinen is turf and long, major disadvantage if you're building her as a dirt uma

[sudden sundial]

https://tenor.com/view/하루우라라-gif-26453523

[runic whale]

Omg she can throw hands

Not bad for my first El run

[sudden sundial]

71 SPD 20 stamina Inspiration they say she's the best to ever done it

[runic whale]

My jaw dropped when my El got 60 spd and 45 spd on both inspirations

[sudden sundial]

omg the Tenno Sho (Spring). Will this be the run?

No 1 fave but two triangles

[runic whale]

Poly

[runic whale]

Means everyone else sucks

[sudden sundial]

Shit I should've switched her to Late

1200m to go and in the lead she's gonna crash out there's no way

2nd to Super Freak

I blame it on the 220 WIT

[runic whale]

220 wit?????

Super Freak gonna win

Omg this is s2 opening

[sudden sundial]

Holy

[runic whale]

Need. That. Card

[runic whale]

Oh my gah

3 rainbows???

Twin turbo ♥️

Can't wait to get her in global

She'll be a funny front runner lol

[sudden sundial]

It's a guts card brother

I love all things Haru but I'll never use that card if I get it

Finale time

No 8 fave as always

First try every time

By 2L

[runic whale]

So? Its haru

I want it for collections sake

[sudden sundial]

It's upsetting how good this horse is and how much better she could've been.

[runic whale]

And preparation for the patch of guts

The things they're planning to do with guts is kinda cool

[sudden sundial]

Shit sparks tho

[runic whale]

abcd

Just need e

[sudden sundial]

Drop the c make it an S

Must be a Golshi build

[runic whale]

Golshi would be A S S S S

I wonder if kita not coming to Paris has a play in dia's loss

"my girlfriend doesn't want to come.." -dia

AH I GOT IT

The perfect mayano top gun run needs...

All love and attention directed to mayano

[sudden sundial]

No companion cards

Only Mayano

[runic whale]

AND (this one is a must and obligatory) Danger Zone

[sudden sundial]

Doki Doki Racing Club

[runic whale]

This is what sane and normal people search for on YouTube

[runic whale]

I finished PB

Beautiful

10/10

Wait don't i say that for all shows I've watched

11/10 magnificent

There, something new

[potent trail]

notification writing keeps winning

[runic whale]

Waaaa the notifs don't work for me

It's just the uma icon nothing else

[runic whale]

Oh wow her 5head is like 1/4th of the screen

Wtf

[runic whale]

Why am i training good umas

HELL YEAH 🇵🇭

ahem i may not be extremely patriotic but golshi notices me

[runic whale]

OKAY.. I will have danger zone on repeat

Then court mayano until she gets a B

[sudden sundial]

It's the afternoon on a Friday, so you know what time it is:

Vodka time

I got her her favourite

[potent trail]

vodkaaaaa (i keep failing her last career goal )

gotta get them levels in my support cards ig

[sudden sundial]

Tenno Sho is no fucking joke, Emperor herself has trouble winning it

Though Emperor is probably losing on purpose when she does

Anyway this is what I live for

Tenno Sho won, now for the triple crown

Finale won, decent stats, bad sparks. Classic Vodka

First B Vodka tho

[runic whale]

Wait thats hard? I got like 500k monies free and 200k sp

Vodka is my 2nd career win ever

[sudden sundial]

I've been poor as fuck after week 1

But I only do two or three runs a day

[runic whale]

I bet 200k monies is poor

cutie

Super freak's ideal umamusume

[runic whale]

@sudden sundial oh wow, you're right about El in terms of sparks you mentioned

She's 7* on speed

My el

I'm proud

[potent trail]

i figured im supposed to save monies on stuff like, idk star ups? potential?

[runic whale]

Yep, i thought they just gave you that for free

Potential is free, no? You just need shoes and stuff

[sudden sundial]

Potential yeah, shoes and the rewards you get for winning graded races, each one with their unique ribbon

For Stars you need the rare stars

[runic whale]

From exchanging statues and getting copies from scouting

Sometimes in the daily shop

Um.. Guys

I may have built my strongest mcqueen

Gapped air groove by 5L in qualifier

What is this sorcery??

?????? How?

This is my el, 774 speed

What the hell happened

This feels kinda unfair

I can't beat choco choco

She's too strong

[sudden sundial]

Another free 10pull

The game must have had 5 minutes of maintenance

I think it's time for a mattekudasai run

[runic whale]

FREE PULL?

Sabotaging cygames servers 🔥

FINALLY SSR
...

[sudden sundial]

Its so difficult to train for Long

[sudden sundial]

She's the one with an event that guarantees Charming

Gotta pick "cute plates" when the option shows up

[runic whale]

Yeah but

*checks card

Ok fair, speed card is good

[sudden sundial]

Off to a good start. Number 1 fave, 4th place debut race Matikenafuck

It was raining which should be illegal

This horse thinks cameras steal your soul. Is her thing being bad with technology?

This horse can't win anything

[runic whale]

Her thing is fortune and superstitions

[sudden sundial]

It should not be possible for Rest to give you a bad condition and bring down your mood. It's criminal

[sudden sundial]

She's definitely the RNG horse

[runic whale]

Resting too much is detrimental to horses

[sudden sundial]

I need a break. I'mma run Haru, no matter what that career is always a win

[runic whale]

My queen

[sudden sundial]

"New condition: Charming!"
What do you mean, "new"?

[runic whale]

Haru urara, say... Prestigious

[potent trail]

used my ssr ticket on oguri, she just blew past everything on my very first try

absolute queen

[runic whale]

Omg who did I waste my ssr ticket on😭

Ok i know

Special week

[sudden sundial]

Normal Oguri behaviour

[runic whale]

She's lucky she's cute

Oguri just wins

No spoilers!

Not even gifs from the episode that doesn't affect or spoil the story

[runic whale]

I want to finish this one first before moving onto cg

If i consume all uma content in one week I'd probably be burnt out of it in no time

[lime stream]

yeah this is definitely a franchise that can suffer from oversimilarity if they all start blurring together

[runic whale]

I like how oguri's headband is in reference to what her irl jockey wears

[lime stream]

even on normal viewing several of the protagonists struggle to distinguish themselves from the basic "I will 🐴 faster than any 🐴 has ever 🐴'd" premise

[runic whale]

Just need a quick break to avoid it

Spe's goal was to make her mom and other mom proud i guess

Teio? Marry mcqueen i think

[sudden sundial]

But here comes a 🐴 that was also very 🐴 at the same time!

[runic whale]

Then kitasan? Marry satono diamond i think

[sudden sundial]

And then you're like "Oh my god I would never switch sides ride or die with my 🐴" and one race later you're like "Okay but the other 🐴 is also very good. WHITE LIGHTNING!"

[lime stream]

see now you've narrowed it down to one show that mostly avoided the problem

[runic whale]

Still ride or die with team spica 🔥

[potent trail]

finished season 1 and bnw myself, on 3rd ep of season 2. patiently awaiting more of my adored. bnw didnt even let her bakushin once, which is its biggest crime by far

[lime stream]

yeah there's basically no bakushin in the anime

[sudden sundial]

It's universal minsu the last two words

[lime stream]

I think being the commentator in the specials was it

which is why I had no idea who she was until the game came out

[runic whale]

I only remember bakushin as the uma who has a magnet on her forehead that attracts nearby chests

[lime stream]

to be fair the game in general has way, WAY more total horses

in exchange for not getting the depth of a season-long emotional arc with any of them

[runic whale]

With the amount of uma npcs that constantly get generated, yes

[sudden sundial]

It's okay there's always Suzuka for "front run very fast", she's much smarter but still basically a bakushin

[runic whale]

Suzuka is speed basically

[potent trail]

manifesting season 4 all about bakushiiiiiin

[runic whale]

Then tragedy struck

[potent trail]

oops ping

[lime stream]

Suzuka is silent because she has to make up for Bakushin

[runic whale]

She's silently pleading for spe to marry her

[lime stream]

while moving to another country

[runic whale]

If you think about it, twin turbo is successful bakushin

[sudden sundial]

Suzuka is the only one balancing the front runners group. Everyone else is loud and stupid

[runic whale]

Has sakura won a g...

What G did twin turbo win again?

[sudden sundial]

There's Taiki, and El can front run too I think

[runic whale]

The one where she says i will beat you tokai teio then teio demolishes down her dreams

El can front but isn't she pace

[sudden sundial]

Mihono Bourbon is quiet but also stupid, she helps Suzuka a little

[lime stream]

I've been told El is a pace chaser(?), which is what she did in the anime, so I didn't think of her as a front runner

[runic whale]

Mihono blindly follows orders

She paces in the anime yea

Pace chaser/and I think the anime calls it stayer

[sudden sundial]

El can do it all

[runic whale]

El can do broye

Still an Impressive race

[lime stream]

Montjeu/Broye might be the single most prominent anime horse they did not have the license for

[sudden sundial]

El

[runic whale]

F at short

She only run fast

[sudden sundial]

El Condor Pasa doesn't do what El Condor Pasa does for El Condor Pasa. El Condor Pasa does what El Condor Pasa does because El Condor Pasa is El Condor Pasa

Truly the best name of all horses

[runic whale]

El.. I Will avenge you

I see the error in why my long horses suck

... Lack of guts

When i end career they're typically at 200, 300 above is said to me to be ideal

[sudden sundial]

Oh right, Maruzensky. She's loud and smart and a supercar, really the only one Suzuka can depend on

[lime stream]

oh, Montjeu's Japan Cup result was fourth, not second; the anime made that way more dramatic

[runic whale]

... So that's why my daiwa scarlet won a lot of races despite only being D+

[runic whale]

For the fun

[sudden sundial]

She has big guts

[runic whale]

They do a lot of their own thing

[potent trail]

OH SHIT LETS GOOOOOOOOO

that only took like 30 pulls

just used all of my lifes luck it appeara

[runic whale]

I hope you fail single digit failure rates /lh

[sudden sundial]

Now you just need 3 more copies

[runic whale]

1 star kita is kinda useless, i heard

Her primo skill is level 45

[sudden sundial]

Meanwhile me at 160 pulls: one SSR and it was Grass Wonder (guts)

[runic whale]

WhateverTh pull i get Nihono flower

[potent trail]

mind you, its day 3 for me, any ssr is good ssr but, kitaaa

[sudden sundial]

Kita is such a good horse too

[runic whale]

What i like about uma is, SSR doesn't really matter

[sudden sundial]

She's the summer festival gung-ho character so she's basically Pinkie in personality

[runic whale]

A R card could be as good as an SR/SSR

[sudden sundial]

Not a trainee yet sadly

[runic whale]

I want kita now

Yes

I need her as trainee

They're already in trainer notes even tho they're unplayable

[sudden sundial]

[runic whale]

I get to look at twin turbo though so I'm happy

I admit, bluekushin is growing on me

[lime stream]

I remember twin turbo just being annoying but in a kinda funny way when I first watched S2

[runic whale]

Bluekushin is cute and annoying

Seeing her cry hits hard tho

.. Seeing all of them cry hits hard

Damn you, horse women! Making me feel feelings

Twin turbo's tactic is funny

She's like 1200 Speed and 4 stamina

[lime stream]

what's Bakushin?

[sudden sundial]

The only problem with Kita as a trainee is you can't run the Kita card

The curse of every gacha is not being able to have two of the best character

[runic whale]

Why is kita good again

I just borrow her because the guy i follow stopped using screek

Please bring me back my sfreak

[sudden sundial]

High initial friendship, consistently shows up at her specialty, the event that gives Practice Perfect, good extra bonuses.

You speed just grows faster with Kita than with any other spd card, even at max levels

[runic whale]

Oh, i don't need her for practice perfect ig

[sudden sundial]

https://www.rxddit.com/r/UmaMusume/comments/1lpmwgd/demystifying_support_cards_the_rest_are_in_google/

[runic whale]

I haven't noticed my speed rising, my teio card helped me more

[sudden sundial]

Nevermind I guess it's just more rainbows

This must be why I saw someone say "starting at level 40"

[lime stream]

wow, Oguri is in 6 boxes on that flowchart

[runic whale]

That's why kita black 0LB is useless

[sudden sundial]

Normal Oguri behaviour

[runic whale]

It's not that easy for f2p to get

You need to have dedication to save 40,000 carats

[sudden sundial]

Yeah but it does justify whaling on it if that's your cup or tea, and all the hoarding until it came out

If you're unlucky oh well, you'll be fine with the Suzuka card

If you do get 3 copies you're golden forever

[runic whale]

Glad i roll for what i want and not what meta says

Still need suzuka trainee

[lime stream]

I remember reading a long time ago that this game was fairly easy to play f2p forever, and I'm beginning to understand how that works

[runic whale]

Yea it's pretty easy

Azur lane levels of easy, they just keep giving you free stuff

[sudden sundial]

Anyway, speaking of Bakushin: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LcpgKvi33w4

[runic whale]

Let's all abandon umamusume so they're forced to give 30,000 carats to keep f2p invested

Still waiting for 30,000 carats so i can gamble for my queen

I want the other teio because of the outfit idek what she has compared to regular teio

And ofcourse Teio wouldn't be complete without mcqueen....

[sudden sundial]

You can just hear how much fun the VA is having

[runic whale]

I tried training king halo and she came close to reaching URA

[sudden sundial]

omg they made Carrot Sentai for real https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=urIjbB288Ac

[runic whale]

Seems to be a lot of talking over here

[sudden sundial]

One of the horses really loves Carrot Sentai but I don't remember which. Comes up in one of the comics

The comics really are super good on their own

Ah, it's Biko Pegasus. I'm afraid I don't know anything about her or the horse

[runic whale]

I must've missed something when Amazon became tracen's goal post in their training ground

[lime stream]

that's been a running gag for a while but I'm not confident it was exclusively her or how far back exactly

[runic whale]

And she marketed on her cutouts

Yea i noticed it in S1

[sudden sundial]

Amazon is the dorm leader of one of the two dorms

[lime stream]

yeah Biko Pegasus doesn't come up in anything I know, might've cameo'd in one of the "introduce 100 background horse" episodes but that's it

[runic whale]

She was the real goal, no cutout

Oh i know why she was replaced

[sudden sundial]

The other Dorm head is Fuji Kiseki

Here you can read on the official roommates https://docs.google.com/document/u/0/d/1ucoR1eN1TSMSiXS-GPgTU_wOeJUUbHy0o5xFBFIQYG8/mobilebasic#id.i9znno74i532

[lime stream]

ok it was literally from the first episode

[sudden sundial]

She's a gentle horse

[runic whale]

She isn't paying attention most of the time and a cut out is better

[runic whale]

I like how the second cutout is her just wearing it

[lime stream]

the trivia sheet of doom has no explanation whatsoever for this

She always served as the training goal post in the anime; either herself or an image of her is presented. This is not a reference to any IRL history of her.

[runic whale]

The first one is her presenting the goal and she looks serious

Its just a running gag that just appeared off screen

Its sweet and nice to think about

There may be a story for it, but it isnt interesting to us viewers

Because Amazon profits on her cutouts too

Or she likes making cutouts of herself

[sudden sundial]

The reason why she runs both leading and chasing styles is because she isn’t good at gate exiting. In case there’s a delay, her jockey has to use the chasing style instead.

That's so funny

[lime stream]

oh my god I remembered this correctly
afaik this is Biko's only anime appearance (S2E1)

barely a name tag, no dialogue

[sudden sundial]

Daiwa at home

[lime stream]

Hishi Akebono mirrors Taiki Shuttle’s pool scene from season 1.
Biko Pegasus stands beside Hishi Akebono: this is a reference to the 1995 Sprinters Stakes. Huge Hishi Akebono won the race, with the small horse beside him, Biko Pegasus, finishing in second.

even the visual insults are history references

[sudden sundial]

These people love horseracing a stupid amount

Bless them

[runic whale]

Daiwa is the perfect wife

Her irl jockey's propaganda is working on me

[sudden sundial]

Career goals during summer camp should be illegal

We got hit by the Black Assassin

Holy hell

[runic whale]

I HATE YOU Mayano Top Gun

This fiat ch loves mood downs

[runic whale]

This happened to me then when i used clock she won for some reason

don't do nice nature like that 😭

[sudden sundial]

Yeah I also just hit had my Top Gun run crash against the Arima Kinen

[runic whale]

Mayano always fails the second arima kinen for me

I'm tired of training this girl

Gold ship take me in your aaaarms

[runic whale]

Like, she lost debut race because she got boxed in by npc umas.. How???

Does cygames hate me

?? Golshi????

[sudden sundial]

Running a pace Golshi

She got an A aptitude from whatever I picked

[runic whale]

Lore accurate golshi run for me

Maybe I'll try her for the senior triple crown

[sudden sundial]

Missed two of the three triple crowns but I can still get the last one

Golden inspiration gave me S Turf

[runic whale]

I wanted to give my golshi S on Late again but i forgot if the legacies have late in it

[sudden sundial]

Raining Tanno Sho (spring)

I'm fucking cooked

3rd somehow

I love this event

[runic whale]

The fickle maiden m

My vocal stim now is teio's

Hachimi hachimi hachimiiiii

[sudden sundial]

Once again I find myself at 2 out of 3 for a triple crown. Will she lose her third crown?

God I hate getting the smallest fucking energy regen from Rest

[runic whale]

Yes, she will golshi

Rest with golshi for me is aways the lowest

[sudden sundial]

No crown for Golshi. 0/3

Also out of clocks because of TnS Spring so, that's the end for her. She's glue

What a fucking shame

She had so much potential with the URA boosts and 3 more trainings

[sudden sundial]

@Kaenbyou69

There's too many loveable horses

[runic whale]

Tachyon is far from lovable

[sudden sundial]

I am mad scientist! It's so cool! Sonuvabitch.

[runic whale]

If anything you're lovable to her

Or druggable

[sudden sundial]

God forbid a horse have hobbies

I accidentally balanced my stats lol

[runic whale]

Oh i now remember that horse named Potoooooooo

The guy naming it mistook Pot-Eight-Os as Potoooooooo, and not Pot-Eight-Os

Or Potato

Pot8O

[sudden sundial]

Not far behind Potoooooooo in second place we have Gquuuuuux

I'd love a horse that was just AAAAAAAAA

[runic whale]

Imagine a horse named Triple 7 and it's just sevensevenseven

[sudden sundial]

And we need a horse that makes the announcer say nya

[runic whale]

I feel bad for the announcers where skibidi rizz is racing

[sudden sundial]

To think some announcers comlained about Symboli Rudolf's name being difficulty to say

[runic whale]

Then there's matikanetannhausër

[sudden sundial]

I'll probably never memorise how to write their names, so they're Makifuck and Makischeiße

[runic whale]

Biggus (Ikono) dictus

[open summit]

Just gonna

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WttUxO0EooA

There ya go

[runic whale]

There's two more

Golshi golshi golshi

And teio teio teio

[sudden sundial]

Someone stop her she's going for the jukebox

[potent trail]

no, in fact ill keep bringing the jukebox to her

[runic whale]

No more bakushin please

Teio instead

[lime stream]

yeah, these two names are way easier coming from JP where it's actual words you can mentally separate (machi-kane fuku kitaru, machi-kane tann hauser)

[runic whale]

I seperated them almost the same on my first try

[runic whale]

https://youtu.be/6wQlhou9CUQ?si=vF94wsPhFlIxxNvF

[sudden sundial]

+50 energy, mood went up

[blissful spade]

remember when the mayano top gun seiyuu met tom cruise when top gun maverick was being promoted in japan?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3EaeOJxiPPI

[sudden sundial]

I don't remember, but I did read about this in the sacred texts

[runic whale]

Inaccurate

[sudden sundial]

Maybe if you're Rice Shower

[runic whale]

-30 energy mood went down to awful -1000 stamina condition night owl practice imperfect

Because there's another horsegirl in the video

Trainer eyes should only look at mayano and mayano only

[sudden sundial]

Ok, but hear me out:

[runic whale]

Yes but two conditions

What if maya continues to be angy

So she makes you waste like 5 turns

[sudden sundial]

[runic whale]

I may hate maya but

Only one bottle of glue?

The naughty and misbehaving horses get the elmers glue hat

[sudden sundial]

She's small

Emperor yields at least 3 bottles

[runic whale]

Golshi would probably be the one turning us to glue

[sudden sundial]

Goldshi yields 0, I'd never glue Goldshi

[runic whale]

I has telepathy

[sudden sundial]

Suzuka yields -1 because you need glue to stop hear from breaking

On that note

[runic whale]

I would glue everyone except team spica, team... Whatever team twin turbo is in, and El

[sudden sundial]

https://www.rxddit.com/r/UmaMusume/comments/1m3iqna/lore_accurate_teio_cosplay/

[runic whale]

The dedication lol

Please don't do my triple fracture queen bad like that

Unbeaten triple fracture

Kikko sho more like fracture sho

Arima kinen more like arima bone fracture

Wait is the last senior triple crown the satsuki sho or

[sudden sundial]

Autumn Senior Crown, by definition

It's Autumn Tenno Sho, then two big races that come after that.

Srping Senior crown has Tenno Sho in the middle?

I use this to check every time

[runic whale]

Praying suzuka breaks her leg during a race in tenno sho

[sudden sundial]

I see what races a horse has as goals and try for whatever is missing, if there's anything missing (Emperor straight up has the Triple crown as a goal)

[runic whale]

So its the arima kinen

[sudden sundial]

Goldshi has a chance at a triple triple crown because 6 of her goals are 2 of each of the crowns

[runic whale]

Does teio have the triple crown as a goal? Been a while since I've TRAINED her

[sudden sundial]

I don't know I don't have Teio

[runic whale]

Preposterous

[sudden sundial]

[runic whale]

Gamble some more for teio

[sudden sundial]

I'd like more horses and statues but like

I literally have 0 cards above level 25 because I'm barely gotten any duplicates, even with 160 pulls in Kita

Ignoring Rs, they are worthless as support cards even if it's maxed out vs a 1-cap SR or SSR

I need more support pulls, at least until one self-owned card at level 30-35, one for speed and stamina each

Otherwise all my runs have the same unbreakable ceiling

[runic whale]

I just need screek or fine nature

FUCK Y E S

Oh wait that's a white screen

FUCK Y E S (2)

Idc if its singular

What the fuck I'm broke

[sudden sundial]

Congrats!

Damn I've never even seen more than two golds in a ten pull myself

[runic whale]

I saw the thing upgrade i think it was pity lol

Nvm the cover glows rainbow

[sudden sundial]

Yeah from other people I've seen the page-saver upgrade from gold to rainbow, and even from silver to rainbow

Same can happen with the gates

[runic whale]

Maybe it's an animation to make us gamblers happy

I was like "if its not banner dupe would be appreciated"

At first, i thought i pulled fine motion dupe or sfreak SSR

Is this ok? Did more gambling

[sudden sundial]

Guts card

I have it max uncapped thanks to this wheel

[runic whale]

In preparation for the guts patch atleast

OMG ANOTHER KITASAN

Hey she's cute so I'm not mad

[sudden sundial]

Matsuri horse can do no wrong

[runic whale]

Kitasan black might be the average race horse in terms of career tbh

Retired because she wore herself out, not from a fracture or something

Speaking of retiring

... When is symboli Rudolf retiring???

Isn't she still president when teio had her last on-screen race? When Kitasan had her last race?

[lime stream]

afaik she's president in every anime

[sudden sundial]

Yeah

[lime stream]

I can't speak for the manga ofc

[sudden sundial]

Her immortal majesty the Horse-Emperor of Horsekind

Here to win races and kill xenos

[runic whale]

She's in her mid 20s atleast

And i suppose she races in the dream trophy

I'm sure all of Spica races in the dream series except kita

[sudden sundial]

I think if Cygames had the approval to use Deep Impact, the student council presidency would've switched

[lime stream]

irl, Rudolf's triple crown was 1984, Oguri Cap's career was '87-'91, I believe most of the other protagaonists are in the late 90s to early 00s

[runic whale]

Or if fortnite dance raced in Japan

[runic whale]

Early 2010s, too

I think golshi last raced in 2018?

2015 arima kinen

.. And Rudolf still press

Long live the emperor, 万歳！

[sudden sundial]

TENKA MUSOU

[runic whale]

日本の偉大な馬の皇帝万歳。万歳！

[lime stream]

Special Week's big wins were 98-99, Tokai Teio's double crown was 91, Kitasan Black was 2015-17

[runic whale]

Damn she's old

[lime stream]

yeah this is probably why the animes never state any years

[runic whale]

Because I'm sure 8-9 years have passed

I'm sure atleast more than 2 years have passed since S2 ending to s3 episode 1

[sudden sundial]

Yeah but the animes also will show you stuff like little-kid Kita in the audience, don't remember when but I think it may have been Cinderella

[lime stream]

however long it takes a tiny horse girl to become a teenage horse girl

[runic whale]

But it won't make sense

Why is kitasan already retiring as year 1

[lime stream]

mini-Kita and mini-Satono are also in S2E1 being shown around by Teio and McQueen

[sudden sundial]

In the end, time is something you just have to waive here, or maybe the Uma unvierse is not one but many

[runic whale]

There isn't year 1s and such in tracen iirc

[runic whale]

They're smaller too

Way smaller than S2 finale appearance atleast

[sudden sundial]

There's the Game universe where every horse is at their prime and competing at the same time. There's the PD anime universe where there's the older generation like president Rudolf, the protagonists, and maybe you'll see later horses as kids in the audience.

[runic whale]

Because a year or two would've passed

[sudden sundial]

Same for Cinderella Grey maybe being separate from PD

[lime stream]

yeah, the basic format of the game basically requires all the umas to be in eternal temporal limbo

[runic whale]

The dead umas irl retire early and don't get a major role again

[sudden sundial]

yeah, the basic format of the game basically requires all the umas to be in eternal temporal limbo
Yeah, and meanwhile the animes require a high but not perfect degree of historical accuracy, while also being allowed to say "Suzuka got better", for example

[runic whale]

See: rice shower barely speaking,Silence suzuka

[sudden sundial]

If the show is about Oguri Cap you can't have Maruzensky or Kita Black as concurrent rivals

[lime stream]

it cares about the little details a lot more than it cares about "X and Y never met because they raced 20 years apart"

[runic whale]

I guess they really have no way to progress suzuka other than what was planned for her

mcqueen and golshi would have never met

[sudden sundial]

At the farm they would, and they did

[runic whale]

When mcqueen died golshi was not born yet

[sudden sundial]

I think

These horses do live 20-30 years even though they race for....five?

[runic whale]

3 years apart

[sudden sundial]

Damn 3 years only

[lime stream]

mostly 3 year careers it seems

[runic whale]

Because I'm sure the horse would get really hurt if you push it further

[sudden sundial]

I never looked whether that was accurate or condensed

48 more turns in the game would be a lot even if it was accurate

[runic whale]

Kind of crazy haru urara raced 113 races

[lime stream]

yeah, the anime is basically correct about how long each horse career lasts

[sudden sundial]

As we all know, High School is everyone's prime

[lime stream]

they have to switch protagonists every season because no horse goes longer than 2-3 years, and usually most of the drama is in 1-2 of those years

[runic whale]

Some horses seem to have longer careers though

Haru Urara raced for 7

Probably because of what she specializes in?

[sudden sundial]

Let me check the texts for a moment...

[runic whale]

And she doesn't really look like she gave her all

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haru_Urara
1998-2004

[lime stream]

it feels like what the anime is going for is umas grow up and race on the same timeline as irl horses, and then their overall lifespan after peak racing is more like a human's, so all the post-peak horses can keep hanging out on the side in all later seasons

[runic whale]

We don't see much of the dream series

[sudden sundial]

Yeah see, I remember being wowed by Golshi's [13-3-2-10] because ti was a bigger total sum than I had seen so far, but I assumed it was only graded races

But Haru is listed as [0-5-7-101]

So

[runic whale]

She raced in graded races i guess

[potent trail]

so thats why her career is like that, i see

[runic whale]

And lost in all of them

[sudden sundial]

I guess it is all races, but if you're mostly high-end, graded races, it would make sense if your racing career is shorter than someone like Haru who only ever ran locally

[runic whale]

If her career in the game was accurate, it probably would be the longest in game

[sudden sundial]

Please be kind to Haru

She's trying her best

[runic whale]

I mean, ingame, she would have never been able to get into graded races lol

Stuck in maiden

[potent trail]

i meant so positively! ie that its packed with fan goals n perseverance n stuff

thats my baby mud horse, only best gor her

[sudden sundial]

Absolutely

My bad

https://tenor.com/view/seseren-gif-26509175

[runic whale]

Yea her fans thing is accurate to irl a bit

From what I'm reading, she already was a pretty popular horse for losing a lot

Then she regains popularity again

Haru is old now

Hope she lives 100 horse years

[sudden sundial]

I think on her last race it was 40k and change attendants to the race track that could only hold 20k and change?

[runic whale]

I remember reading about people betting like 12 million yen on her

Sorry, 121 million yen

She lost ofc

[sudden sundial]

There were plans to mate Haru Urara with either Deep Impact or Stay Gold (and Shadai agreed to do so) after she retired, but these plans did not become real because of the high cost. Haru Urara never became a mare.
This is so funny, it's like trying to have coughing baby and atomic bomb to have a child

[runic whale]

It can only hold 15k

that's like an asteroid and sagittarius a

So haru is forever innocent

Even tho the retirement race she won wasn't really against other horses, more so time trial

GIII distance if 16 seconds and she got 16.54

Very proud

Waiiit, steeplechase races would've been cool to see in umamusume

An entirely different academy from tracen and they have horse girls preferably with more obviously powerful legs

[sudden sundial]

Maybe in later patches

[runic whale]

Nah, we don't even see steeplechase racing in the anime

It's pretty intense

[potent trail]

in fact lives in town with steeplechase races

i would need a bigger hat for those to attend tho

so we just watch on tv

[lime stream]

gotta admit I would pay money to see how Golshi fucks up a steeplechase

[potent trail]

oh wow dang so i knew theyre old but apparently its 150 years kinda old

PSA to anyone who owns a club: if the leader doesn't log in for about 2 weeks, the game will select a new leader as a replacement.

I am not entirely sure how the eligibility is determined, but I suspect it might be simply given to the first person who logs in after the club is up for grabs. I've asked support to clarify that part.

But that's basically how I became a new leader of my club.

So if you are a club leader and are planning an extended break, better to hand the leadership over to someone who you trust.

S Long Golshi

She's glue

[runic whale]

Sometimes you don't get boxed in sometimes you do

[runic whale]

Hey umachat, 10/10 cover?

[runic whale]

I LOVE how Twin Turbo's lead in the real race isn't exaggerated in the anime

Like

That's twin turbo

[sudden sundial]

Gotta love a horse front running by 10L

[runic whale]

I'm fairly sure this would just be distance, i fell for twin turbo when she first appeared

silly

Teio jumps over the barrier easily: the horse is known to have very good leaping ability. He once jumped over a fence that was about 1.5m high and escaped the grazing ground (and he jumped back by himself after he was done playing).

this trivia sheet is great

[runic whale]

Teio would 100% do that for hachimi

[lime stream]

and for context, irl Teio's height is exactly 150cm apparently

oh my god

In Osaka Hai, the commentator focused on Tokai Teio and said “The two runners in front of her don’t matter.” This made Canopus members very angry. In reality, this is one of the very controversial comments from Kiyoshi Sugimoto at the 1992 Sankei Osaka Hai.

as soon as I heard that I thought "there's no way they'd include such a weird detail unless it really happened"

[sudden sundial]

Commentator easter eggs are some of the best

There's some really wild lines with stupidly specific conditions

Mihono Bourbon

Be in the lead with a 1.5 distance by the third corner.
A reference to Kiyoshi Sugimoto’s haiku during the 1992 Kyoto Shimbun Cup. Same reason as above.
Game commentary: “Chrysanthemums near/A lone traveller’s journey/On Nigawa’s hills. This can be said about Mihono Bourbon.”

This guy seriously dropped a haiku in the middle of commentating a race?

Rice Shower

Win the senior version of the Takarazuka Kinen. This one takes place in Kyoto Racecourse instead of Hanshin Racecourse.
This is adapted from the 1995 Takarazuka Kinen but Rice Shower did not finish this race, ultimately falling at Yodo (content warning if you search this race up on YouTube).
Game commentary: “Rice Shower! She has made it beyond the slopes of Yodo to brilliantly achieve her dream of winning the Takarazuka Kinen!”

Game commentary: “The protagonist of the Sunday of Glory is Silence Suzuka! She has won the shield of honours by stupendously overcoming the fourth corner!”

Oguri Cap

Win the senior version of the Arima Kinen.
A reference to Okawa Kazuhiko’s famous comment about Oguri Cap’s miraculous victory in his final race - 1990 Arima Kinen.
For many fans, this is the most memorable race in Japanese horse racing history.
Game commentary: “Oguri’s first! Oguri’s first! She has responded brilliantly to her fans’ cheers! It’s Oguri Cap, the super horse girl!”
IRL commentary: “Oguri’s first! Oguri’s first! Oguri’s first! Oguri’s first! Yutaka Take’s raising his right fist! Oguri’s first! Oguri’s first! A brilliant retirement race and a perfect send-off! He’s a super horse! He’s Oguri Cap!”

Bro really liked Oguri

[lime stream]

apparently this just happens sometimes? S2E6's '92 Arima Kinen shows a similar (albeit temporary) absurd lead that is also not made up

[sudden sundial]

Sometimes horse just goes

[runic whale]

Twin Turbo's lead is very impressive

[potent trail]
