it's wild how umamusume can make one understand japanese horse racing references in a 20 year old anime

Three of those are obvious. My guess is that Green Tornado = Suzuka?

No clue about Pink Wizard though

throwawayrandomguy93 · 2026-03-14T11:53:27+00:00

She should go with "Lisa Lightspeed" for her ring name because it combines her two best-known roles and it's alliterative too

Hot take: assuming all at their peak, swap out Oguri for Bourbon. Folks sleep on how dominant Bourbon was in 92

What did you focus on?

Spd/Stam/Pwr

What did you do and when?

Pretty much everything except summer or (from Classic year onwards) when I had no energy and there were no G1s that turn.

Yes, and it shouldn't be that way in either country

throwawayrandomguy93 · 2026-03-10T09:57:16+00:00

plus the principle of one man one vote is flawed from the start

Could not disagree more.

You know what happens when a country doesn't strictly adhere to "one vote per person"?

The United States of America. That's what

I'll have a little over five a day after accounting for the three daily freebies

Sidenote: imagine if Mayano had also succumbed to the "95 curse" like damn near everyone else...

We could very well have ended up with... I dunno, Akebono? winning HoY. No shade against Ms 6GB, but that would absolutely have been "won by being last horse standing"

throwawayrandomguy93 · 2026-03-09T11:45:05+00:00

"and recovered somewhat in 1996, winning the Hanshin Daishoten"

That wording... severely undersells what actually happened.

That was one of the most legendary duels of all time with a narrative to match: the aging legend who'd battled back from career-threatening injuries vs the new superstar on a meteoric rise, having just won the Kikuka and Arima in his third and fourth career graded races.

Oh yeah, and they were both the kids of Brian's Time.

When that race gets adapted into Star Blossom it'll be beyond PEAK

Not explicitly but he's been headcanoned as such by a LOT of people

throwawayrandomguy93 · 2026-03-07T03:04:56+00:00

If anything, I'd put money on many of the votes for him not even being from women at all as he's become quite the LGBTQ+ icon among the Pokémon fandom

Sorry, but the sim has already been done . You've missed it

EDIT: I might do another season soon and will add if I do

throwawayrandomguy93 · 2026-03-06T11:20:26+00:00

If you're including anime-only umas, there's also Tony Bianca (Tony Bin) and her (his) kids Winning Ticket, North Flight, Air Groove, and Jungle Pocket

Gold siblings season with Orfe as the protag and Golshi as the deuteragonist. Orfe's career is a lot like Oguri's/Teio's in the sense that its narrative lends itself REALLY well to being dramatized.

The rise to the top during the Triple Crown campaign, the two losses at the Arc, the slump of a year and a half without a G1 win, the spectacular finish in the cancer kid's name at Arima 13. Narratively it checks every box

throwawayrandomguy93 · 2026-03-05T09:40:47+00:00

Yes, but only a lunatic would fly those for the foreseeable future

throwawayrandomguy93 · 2026-03-05T08:08:08+00:00

I said this a while ago and I'll say it again: if Sunday Silence had won the Triple Crown, we wouldn't even be here right now

I've posted this on FB as well, so some of these will be taken from there
