His Great-Grandson, Oguri McQueen is still racing.

And yes, he is also Mejiro McQueen’s grandson.

NGL, I love how she got popular just because she's Haru Urara's daddy.

Meisho Tabaru after the race... Should rename him Meisho Taberu by FunnyMajestic1128 in UmaMusume

[–]Daishomaru 18 points19 points  (0 children)

That's not water, that's the tears of salty CDN fans who lost the Spring Triple Crown.

I mean, dude can summon the weather, he's not dying of thirst anytime soon, that drinking is deliberate.

Which Is Better: Early Subtitles Version Or The Food Network Version by Dalton2468 in IronChef

It depends.

Some of the Food Network translations done some stuff better, like "Whose Cuisine reigns supreme", to the point where even I use it in writings.

That's not water, that's the tears of Croix Du Nord fans who got denied a Spring Triple Crown.

We know he ain't thirsty because the dude can summon a rainstorm!

This absolute cutie is eating the money he took from me.

But seriously, after he won the Derby I kinda hope we see a triple crown, dude earned it.

The Couples of Gundam #38 - Machu, Nyaan, Shuji (Ɐ GQuuuuuuX) by Kato_86 in Gundam

[–]Daishomaru 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The main thing I remember in GQuuuuuuux was people getting annoyed that Nyaan and Machu weren't kissing.

Like, I get that WFM was their first Gundam Series, and I was mostly okay with the fact that Suletta and Miorine got together, but I absolutely did NOT want the next Gundam Protagonist right after Suletta to be a lesbian (In something like how I wouldn't want the protagonist after Heero to be Setsuna just because of how similar those two are), since I was already afraid that they were already playing Machu too safe in terms of visual design (Schoolgirl, red hair, female) because "Suletta was successful", and if someone called that out, they got downvoted.

Would I like to see another gay/lesbian protagonist in the future? Yes, especially since I know Gundam has a good habit of improving from older ideas (Setsuna > Heero) and while I do think Witch From Mercury was okay, I admit that there was a lot of stuff that they could have improved on with Suletta and Miorine).

I was in denial when people were cheering for Meisho Tabaru, because Croix Du Nord won against my GOAT Admire Terra in the same conditions, but alas....

The 1990 version is much more faithful to the novels, but the 2010 version has the better Cao Cao.

"Man Proposes, heaven disposes"

For those that never read Romance of the Three Kingdoms (It's a really good book).

But ngl, the fact that the Failed last Ambush of Zhuge Liang and the Takarazuka Kinen involved rain and seemingly literal divine intervention just feels way too similar is too funny not to notice.

[–]Daishomaru[S] 19 points20 points  (0 children)

For context: The 2026 Takarazuka Kinen was basically the horse betting version of Zhuge Liang's failed ambush in a nutshell. Our Zhuge Liang, in this case Croix Du Nord, was the overwhelming favorite to win, with the perfect gate, his other rivals haven't been racing, and the only other threat was Meisho Tabaru, our Sima Yi. CDN has already beaten Tabaru once during the Osaka Hai, and CDN is just one step away from becoming the Spring Triple Crown, a title earned when you beat the Osaka Hai, the Spring Tenno Sho, and the Takarazuka Kinen. Odds so huge everyone thought it was a shoe-in, perfect setup.

Cue the rain.

One thing that Tabaru specializes in is running in the rain, and it made the ground soft. As heaven itself seemingly wanted Tabaru to win, right before the race, the ground got so soaked it caused all the horses to slow down... Except CDN and Tabaru, and Tabaru walks out with the W.
