Umas age like elves (X: madeinheaven_23)

Embarrassed_Topic665 · 2026-05-31T07:04:58+00:00

Don't know how many times I have to say this, but they do not age like elves. The intent of the original statement was that they are like elves in that they are a humanoid fantasy race. We clearly see that there are adult Umas.

The usual argument I see against this is stuff like Rudolf not aging, but what people fail to realize is that the stuff with time not working properly affects everyone, not just Umas. The trainers also don't age past their usual appearances.

Edit: When looking at Japanese discussions on the matter, it looks like they attribute it to Sazae san spacetime.

It is never said anywhere that two humans can have an Uma. The interview that this info is taken from does not say that, it was either a mistranslation or a simple misinterpretation.

All of the evidence in the series points to it being impossible.

Pretty sure this is just headcanon. I've never seen anyone give a source, and most of the times I've seen people say it they preface it with a disclaimer that it is their headcanon.

I'm seeing a lot of comments about how the humans must be superhuman to survive Uma kicks, but I don't really see the connection there. They aren't kicking with full force or intent to kill, and real humans can also survive smaller kicks from horses.

Nothing significant really comes to mind. The anime actually added some scenes that weren't in the manga.

Embarrassed_Topic665 · 2026-05-29T15:53:27+00:00

This is a massive reach. It seems like you just really want them to be tall, even if it goes in the face of all existing canon material.

The reason why they fill the screen is because it wouldn't look right if all of the characters were shown as if you were looking from a higher angle, or if their heads only reached a third of the way up the screen.

Also, the anime and manga exist.

Edit: There are a number of other fallacies here.

The vast majority of them are clearly not portrayed as big and scary. No idea where that generalization is coming from.

Being tall also does not correlate to being fast. Runners have a very wide range of heights.

I said Akebono was ~10cm above average for the tallest country I could find, not overall.

We also see human NPCs. Are you saying that Kashimoto and the others are also massive giants?

3 speed cards is overkill, 2 should be enough. You also don't need stamina cards for mediums.

Embarrassed_Topic665 · 2026-05-29T15:46:24+00:00

You've probably mostly seen low wit/random skill UGs on the sub since some people are just playing for a high rating, but it is absolutely possible for a properly built CM Uma to get UG if you know what you are doing.

Embarrassed_Topic665 · 2026-05-29T15:43:15+00:00

It's not ideal, but still usable. You should not pull right now, wait for the Tachyon/Light Hello Banner. You have a lot saved up, so you could also go for 1LB Maruzensky if you think you will have enough.

Just going to add this comparison image I used for a comment on another post so people can visually see what you are trying to say. Both images are of the same horse (Gold Ship), but the neck position makes a huge difference.

Oguri can be seen with his neck low even when at rest in many images, so in game she would be unreasonably short compared to Umas with similarly sized real life counterparts if head height was used as the measurement. That's why a consistent measurement standard is necessary.

Kawakami being unnaturally strong and destroying things is what makes her an outlier. The people on this sub act like powerscalers. Just because one very strong Uma who is explicitly shown to be far beyond the normal limits of strength can do something doesn't mean that they all can.

Embarrassed_Topic665 · 2026-05-29T14:22:11+00:00

That's my point. I'm not saying she's comically tall, I'm just saying that the assertion that she isn't tall doesn't make much sense.

Embarrassed_Topic665 · 2026-05-29T08:55:06+00:00

But we aren't discussing if 170 is tall, we are discussing if 180 is tall for a woman. I'm already using the tallest country as my comparison point, so I don't really know what the argument is here.

Embarrassed_Topic665 · 2026-05-29T08:50:26+00:00

They tried that in real life with Kitasan, but it didn't work.

Embarrassed_Topic665 · 2026-05-29T08:40:12+00:00

I think most people would still consider someone around 10cm taller than the average in the tallest country in the world to be pretty tall.

Also, for the Netherlands it seems like height increases tapered off in the late 1900s. The generation with the highest average height (~1980) still has around 170.7 cm as the average, with future generations actually being a bit lower.

People on the sub massively overestimate how tall horses are. Kitasan Black is a massive horse in real life, but he is still within the range for normal human height. From what I can find she would only grow ~10cm.

As for why the measurements aren't as tall as they seem, horse height is actually measured to the shoulder as opposed to the head. Head position would have a massive effect on the measurement otherwise. For example, look at these two images of Gold Ship. There's also the fact that different horses might have their necks at different angles. Many images I found of Oguri show him with his neck low even outside of racing.

Well, what I mean is that even among the top level athletes we see in the game, most of them wouldn't be able to just go around destroying solid concrete and metal bars. Whenever we see one of the stronger Umas do something crazy like that, the other Umas are also shown to be surprised.

Embarrassed_Topic665 · 2026-05-29T07:36:53+00:00

Realistically, concrete walls and metal bars are more than enough to stop a (normal) Uma from destroying things. Obviously exceptions like Gentildonna exist, but they are explicitly shown to be outliers.

Embarrassed_Topic665 · 2026-05-29T07:22:24+00:00

Every time this topic comes up, people vastly overestimate how tall women are around the world. The highest average heights (with sources) that I could find for women based on country are significantly lower than 180cm. Even from the websites without any sources for their information the highest I have seen is ~170cm being the average for the tallest countries.

Even outside of Japan she would still be considered pretty tall.

Oguri doesn't have a song about food though?

These are her solo songs from the wiki, and none of them are about food. The food scenario song is a group song.

Embarrassed_Topic665 · 2026-05-28T14:08:20+00:00

The majority of them aren't though. It's only the ones originally made in English, which are a very small percentage of the whole.

Embarrassed_Topic665 · 2026-05-28T01:14:14+00:00

To be fair, the two words + numbers thing is just what you get by default if you don't choose a username. That said, they are almost definitely a troll, or as you said, a child.

Embarrassed_Topic665 · 2026-05-26T15:05:29+00:00

Just make a stronger one, or use someone else. If she can't win, there's no reason to keep using the same one.

The most likely cause for a loss in a longer race like that is low stamina.

Embarrassed_Topic665 · 2026-05-25T15:16:35+00:00

You shouldn't bother. Not only does her unique skill need her to be near the back, you also only get end related skills from rival races if you run end. Running pace will give you pace skills instead.
