On a Pale Horse (Umamusume/Youjo Senki)

Imagining game Shirogane is funny because im the alt timeline where horse Shiro got put into the altUmamusume game, before she was released (assuming she wasn't in the first wave), there'd just be this NPC Uma that shows up constantly. Players that didn't know the lore that much would be so confused.

So another everywhere system like Machan?
 
Ngl Shirogane could really be the mother of Dream Journey in the future, they share quite a bit of similarities to be a coincidence. Especially with the comment at the end where Nozawa was scrambling away from her after that confrontation.

That conversation between Shirogane and Grass after Nozawa ran out, gives me this image.

---

Shirogane: Oh, you know that official that ran out the door?
Grass: Oh yeah?
Shirogane: Yeah, they got her.
Grass: What does that mean?
Shirogane: Some people will miss her, probably...
Grass: What do you mean "they got her"?
Shirogane: She had a good run in her career.

(Someone please create a fanart of this please!)

People screaming out about her in event in game, waiting for her to be finally released as an actual umamusume. While casual fans are baffled at the reception of this supposed NPC Uma.

She'd probably show up in other trainees' careers, but the amount of times she shows up in races makes people think Cygames is using her as a stand in, but no, she really did run in all those races.

She is very OP, just not in a way that lets her win each race.

To be fair, no one else really noticed what happened, and Shiro isn't going to bring it up.

but the time split between Special Week in first and Shiro in fifth was likely around a tenth of a second at most.

Yeah the Tracen runners passed the finish basically as one pack with a notable gap to the next runner.

Solconbur said:
To be fair, Stego still acts like the second most manliest uma out there. Impressive, for being as short as her IRL counterpart.

The first, oddly enough, is Mejiro Ryan, who's a fashionless gymbro.

Symboli Kris S is the most dad like uma, I think. Helps that the horse's kid and kid's mother are in the game too.

I really did not think that Hana could get splashed by Shiro's reputation. Maybe its naive of me to think that the trainee and trainer is separate and should be thought of so as well.
Click to expand...
Click to shrink...
Since Hana has trained a couple of triple crown winners, a lot of people do think that part of it is her ambitions for bigger things. And it's also partly because her reputation that she could schedule Shiro running so often without people getting too alarmed.

PinkShadowReader said:
I think Hana will remember from that moment onward that those half were illegal per racing rules. That maybe Shiro has affinity towards some violence.

Did Shirogane's ult avert a career ending injury?
Click to expand...
Click to shrink...
Hmmm? No not really. This injury was going to happen sooner or later.

IRL Grass Wonder gets injured during the first half of 1998 and didn't run Yayoi Sho at all (and then there's Grass' ineligibility to run the Classics as a foreign-bred horse).

In the game, in all Golden Gen career but her own, Grass gets herself injured around this time and would take some time to recuperate until the Mainichi Okan (also IRL) where she and El get smoked by a certain Otherworldly Front Runner. Then Grass proceeds to dominate the Grand Prix races until a certain Overlord in the year 2000 destroys every gambler's dopamine rush🤣

Speaking of said Otherworldly Front Runner, Shiro's likely gonna be in that race...and the one after...

...Oh no...

Yeah, I know how bullshit her stamina is. It's just not a speed factor.

Shiro: -begins sliding into fighting stance- I don't think this is wise Grass-san.
Grass: What? Oh, pfft, no. I'm not aiming at you. You can keep a secret.
Shiro: She has no idea.
Grass: I'm going to go Euphemina on these fools.
Shiro: I...see...carry on then.
El: Grass, no!
Grass: Grass yes!
 
Hmmm… I wonder how fast Kurogane will be able to shake off the accusations of doping when she wins her next race, smashing a pr and gaining entry into the tiara races. Because if a certain wannabe dance mom is willing to fix races to ensure someone loses what would she do when they win anyways?

Japanese is a language where phonetic spelling is 1 to 1 accurate to pronounciation.

While it's nowhere close to English, it's not like Japanese doesn't have it's own silent vowels (e.g. dropping the u in Suki) and altered sounds, with the most common being ha -> wa.

Can you show me an example of a silent u? Because it's there in suki, just short.

ha/wa is a basic sentence construct, it's literally the first or second thing taught in the language. It's not really a word. You might as well complain about capitalization or apostrophes.
 
Killdread said:
You should complain about apostrophes: 's being a contraction or a possessive is garbage tier, especially since s' also exists as a construction for possessive use.

The [s'] is exclusively for when referring to a possessor by a name alreadyending in an s. The part that is the S is therefore not actually a construction for possessive use. The form [s'] exists to prevent "the glass's color was blue".

'Sasuke' is pronounced 'sass-kay' instead of 'sa-sue-kay'.

Not true, actually. Glass's is correct. s' is only used when the final s is there because the possesser is plural. It's glass's and glasses'. Ross's and persons'.

Overall a decent chapter.

I think there should maybe be a bit more acknowledgement by characters that Shiro failed at the end at least partly because she was distracted by Grass Wonder injuring herself, but that is a relatively minor quibble.

If it becomes a trend that Shiro loses because she stops to help injured racers those racers are going to start blaming themselves for taking away Shiro's chances to win.

...was Florence Nightningale an Uma in this reality? Because the more mystically "in the know" Umas might reach a funny conclusion about Shiro's past life.

Honestly when I was reading the part where Grass was visibly upset after the race, I thought for sure it was setting up one of those classic Tanya fanfic misunderstandings where Shiro thinks she's (most) upset at having lost the race but Grass is actually (mostly) guilty about having caused Shiro to lose
 
I'm pretty sure it would be nearly impossible for anyone else to tell what exactly caused Shiro to hesitate slightly at the end there, realistically speaking. It's not like she dramatically paused to look at Grass for a moment. It's entirely possible the other racers didn't even notice that there even was a moment of hesitation; she could have just fallen behind a step.

Honestly, same. Maybe it'll happen next chapter?
