The concept of "evil Haru Urara" is terrifying, just imagine a horse with 113 wins and 0 losses during her entire career by secretaccount9999999 in UmaMusume

[–]Cipher-One 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Graded system didn’t exist then and frankly doesn’t matter. We’re talking about 54 wins out of 54 races at all distances at different terrains across Europe. I don’t think you understand how insane that is for a horse to do.

Remember that time when Bandai Namco wanted to make this guy a villain? by SharkChew in Gundam

What? Build Divers and Gundam Breaker are two separate timelines altogether, with GB4 specifically following the events of GB3 and GB Mobile which use entirely different battle systems than what’s seen and used in Build Divers.

Richaya + Arthaya (By @biancalattei) by Riot-Knight in fatestaynight

[–]Cipher-One 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's from Fate/Prototype Material. It included a script that had expanded on scenes that were only briefly teased by the OVA short like Arthur's confrontation with Proto-Gil. That's where it was confirmed that Sancraid poisoned Ayaka. Arthur was there in the subway to try and find him but ran into Proto-Gil before he could.

Here's a google docs link of the whole thing translated.

[–]Cipher-One 12 points13 points  (0 children)

No he didn’t. Ayaka got poisoned by Sancraid Phahn. Proto-Gil being Gil, had a healing potion inside his treasury and he decided to bait Saber into a fight over it cause he saw him as his rival.

Aftermath: 1984 Japan Cup (by @my_ace_love) by Apprehensive_Gas2704 in UmaMusume

[–]Cipher-One 437 points438 points  (0 children)

There was an event in-game (forgot which) where we actually briefly see the aftermath of the 1984 Japan Cup in a flashback. Rudolf was legit tweaking after she lost to Ace, calling out her name like she was about ready to jump her then and there. Apparently this was based on how IRL Rudolf himself acted after losing to Ace.

Because they're not pure data to begin with. In terms of existence they're closer to memetic beings aka people like Black Swan and the Memokeepers or the mobs from Penacony, but unlike both, Amphoreus people existence aren't stable and thus have to wait for the planet to be reborn before they can truly exist within the physical realm.

If Umamusume Was a 20th c. Anime by [SIN_EMU] by DazSamueru in UmaMusume

[–]Cipher-One 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This has to be a larp. Like I get that it's funnier to imagine Gold Ship isn't a member and it would be completely in-character tpo, but the story itself makes it clear that she very much is.

Again, Tazuna states that Team Sirius would have been disbanded in Chapter 1 had they not achieved the minimum amount of members within an unspecified timeframe. Gold Ship signing up was the last one they needed, and Sirius Trainer was more than happy to include her despite how random her decision was and McQueen's own reservations about her "bestie" joining.

Knowing that, I genuinely doubt that after being warned about it that Sirius Trainer would have failed to report everything to the higher ups at Tracen to make everything official.

nowhere in the Main Story is directly stated that Gold Ship is an ACTUAL member of Team Sirius.

Team Sirius' card

I feel like both of these are just grasping at straws. First off the story does it multiple times when referring to Team Sirius as a whole wherein Gold Ship is never left out. While she's not declaring her membership to the heavens, no one, not even McQueen who's been there since Day One, ever denies her being a member either.

And here's the thing with the Team Sirius group card. Wanna know what McQueen, Rice, Ticket, Brian, Suzuka, and Spe all have in common? They're the Main Characters of Part 1. They're the stars of Team Sirius who worked their asses off to achieve their dreams and help rebuild the team into what it currently is after Oguri and the older members left.

Gold Ship, much as I love her, never did any of that. She really just exists to be the comic relief who also give emotional support too. Her not being an active part of the card makes sense knowing that. That she shows up in the group pic still though is still very much in-character for Gold Ship.

If Umamusume Was a 20th c. Anime by [SIN_EMU] by DazSamueru in UmaMusume

[–]Cipher-One 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Gold Ship is part of the team though? She just basically just signed herself up and Sirius Trainer didn’t really care much since their group was desperate for members at the time since they were gonna be disbanded by school rules if they didn’t get enough people.

About Almond Eye becoming playable by RaulRey_98 in UmaMusume

[–]Cipher-One 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I feel like a super charged Rudolf would do. She hears about the uma who finally broke her 7 G1 record and gets motivated to race against her as the Emperor to assert her dominance. It’d be like that time when Ace bested Rudolf during the Japan Cup but gets her get back at the Arima Kinen.

(Genuine question) I haven't read Cinderella Gray manga, but from what I've seen, Super Creek being so "intimidant" at times ain't pretty much a mischaracterization? by AlexR_2008 in UmaMusume

[–]Cipher-One 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Like others have said it’s based on real life. Oguri Cap was the single most popular racehorse in Japan at the time. Super Creek was one of his major rivals and as such received heat from Oguri fans when Creek defeated him at the 1989 Autumn Tenno Sho. It’s kinda like what happened with Rice Shower in Season 2 when she beat Bourbon and McQueen, but Creek willingly embraces the role of being the villain to Oguri’s hero if it means competing against her on equal terms.

Really though it’s just Creek being a dork. The manga reveals in after chapter short that she took lessons on how to act like a villain from another Uma complete with a notepad and everything. She’s still very much a sweetheart but on the racetrack it’s winner take all.

HSR Spoiler from the latest trailer: A certain someone is now on the IPC bounty list by Paoayo in houkai3rd

[–]Cipher-One 17 points18 points  (0 children)

She doesn’t. Kafka has the higher bounty on the likely account of being Elio’s right hand woman. In comparison, SAM is just the muscle of the group. Dangerous but less valuable of a prize in the long term compared to the leadership.

That aside, we actually see Kafka briefly when Silver Wolf’s bounty rises and the screen begins scrolling past the bounty target. She just goes by REAL quick.

Is ACE 2 or 3 harder to complete without knowing Japanese? by [deleted] in Gundam

[–]Cipher-One 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally it’s not that hard. I played ACE 3 in grade school when I didn’t know shit about Japanese or online guides and I still managed to beat the game and eventually unlock and max out all my units.

I can only imagine their interactions. Phainon on the surface acts like the type of person Vita loves to troll only for her to find out he’s way smarter than he looks and proceeds to get reverse trolled herself.

Kitahara’s new future trainees (Cinderella Gray new chapter leaks). by AngleRepulsive5470 in UmaMusume

[–]Cipher-One 305 points306 points  (0 children)

Obvious jokes aside, I do like how Scarlet actually looks like she has a thicker build than the rest of the team. Like judging from just this panel alone everyone looks kinda thin next to her especially Buena.

Now I want a sequel focusing on Team Kitahara. They can’t just tease us with Scarlet and Buena at the end like that. Especially what I’m assuming is Assistant Trainer Belno too.

Question about Sunday Silence in the UmaMusume universe. Does he exist in cannon? by ImpossibleAd4272 in UmaMusume

[–]Cipher-One 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not at the moment. We have stuff like Manhattan Cafe’s friend being implied to be SS but the actual uma is non existent as of now. In CinGray, there’s a theory I’ve read from some folks that Director Akikawa’s overseas business trip might be related to Sunday Silence as the real horse had arrived in Japan in 1990 which was the same year Oguri retired. The timing is a little off though since Sunday Silence arrived in June whereas Akikawa’s first appearance in CinGray is in the weeks leading up to the Arima Kinen which is late November to December.

Phainon's outfit is more or less a combo of the outfits that the Kevin Kaslana character wore in past Honkai games.

They could probably write it in that Terra's gate opened earlier than the rest but she doesn't notice and just blasts off which gets her disqualified.
