    On a Pale Horse (Umamusume/Youjo Senki)

    It's interesting how on closer inspection, the umamusme universe would fit a biopunk-lite genre. Instead of genetic engineering, the uma worker and warrior castes have selectively bred themselves over several millennia to fill every economic niche involving physical labor/violence imaginable...

    On a Pale Horse (Umamusume/Youjo Senki)

    It's based on real events. Mustangs are herds of feral horses in the American West. Ranchers have been complaining about them grazing on pastures that belongs to them and spreading diseases to their horses and cattle. The American government has done periodic culling of the herds in the name of...

    Extras: Shiro vs Television by Crispy Taco Shell

    Mandatory Vacation Time Shirogane sighed as she watched the microwave popcorn slowly rotate with a buzzing hum. After several months of intense training, racing, and studying, her trainer had insisted on Shirogane taking a rest day. No studying. No "light" jogging. No errands. Nothing but...

    On a Pale Horse (Umamusume/Youjo Senki)

    There were likely many different variants of war umas in the premodern era. Different tribes, if you will, each specializing in different aspects of warfare. You get the small, high endurance types as light cav for scouting, skirmishing, and raiding. Then there's the big, strong heavy cavs for...

    On a Pale Horse (Umamusume/Youjo Senki)

    Been doing some rereading and it is disturbing how so many of Shiro's nonfamily social interactions results in activating her killing instincts. It's as if Shirogane OS is constantly spamming [Do you want to KILL ? Y/N] quicktime prompts every time her fellow umas do anything at all! If this...

    On a Pale Horse (Umamusume/Youjo Senki)

    Umas are capable of occasionally producing human males that can pass on uma traits to their offspring without being umas themselves. Shirogane's grandfather was a regular human while his mother and sister were both umamusumes, for example. Canon is never clear on how that works or why the...

    On a Pale Horse (Umamusume/Youjo Senki)

    It's no wonder some old racing families like the Mejiros live in estates in the most expensive districts worth billions of yen. It also explains just how much pressure the current scions are under to win; the tax bills on their mansions are overdue and the families cannot reduce expenses without...

    On a Pale Horse (Umamusume/Youjo Senki)

    Racing umas will probably respond very poorly to drill instructor style training methods, though. They're too free-spirited and would just revolt and walk away from instructors like that. War umas, on the other hand, would thrive in it. It's all conjecture but I'd say umamusme of warhorse...

    On a Pale Horse (Umamusume/Youjo Senki)

    Hot damn, 175.85 million yen? Is that before or after Tracen and the government takes their share? Either way, Shiro is making some serious money as a freshman in highschool. She could easily multiply that fortune with some clever investing using her future knowledge from her first...

    On a Pale Horse (Umamusume/Youjo Senki)

    What does that mean? Like Forever Young is an umamusume creeper that stands too close to you in the cafeteria line while sniffing your hair? I'd imagine she'd be politely told by Shirogane to stop. Once. Then out comes the fists. Haha. Edit: It's funny how Shiro also hits the checkboxes for the...

    On a Pale Horse (Umamusume/Youjo Senki)

    Many sports were undergoing major changes in the early 2000s. If uma racing followed similar trends, the focus of the Golden era was on increasing efficiency/optimization somehow. Shirogane has got that done. Hugging the rails, extreme training, that weirdly stable running style focused on...

    On a Pale Horse (Umamusume/Youjo Senki)

    Perhaps a midseason transfer student? It happens often in high school anime. A new character/rival transfers in as a sixth ranger to mix up established social cliques and cause drama. Often gets revealed to be a spy or traitor.

    On a Pale Horse (Umamusume/Youjo Senki)

    People may rip on the Japanese horse racing circuits for being soft but its still better than the druggy mess with organized crime ties that's American horse racing. How would this world's Godfather depict the horse head scene? It would be twisted how some innocent, umamusme gets her head cut...

    On a Pale Horse (Umamusume/Youjo Senki)

    It'll likely infuriate whoever actually wins the Arima Kinen while Shiro is away. She overshadows a race even when she's not even there. Envious uma: I don't get it! Shirogane goes off to play grab-ass in some podunk dirt race with her gate-filler redneck friend and that's all everyone talks...

    On a Pale Horse (Umamusume/Youjo Senki)

    A job as a delivery mare would be fairly common, i think. Unlike human delivery drivers, an uma wouldn't need a car or motorcycle. Shiro did that for years and the family restaurant has hired several new fillies after she left for Tracen. Military, forestry, and construction work would be...

    On a Pale Horse (Umamusume/Youjo Senki)

    Some umas perform better with worse mood so the mood down could be a useful. Or is the worse mood=better performance a Shirogane exclusive thing? Her playstyle would be rather unusual because she'd perform better if you race and train her like a rented mule in violation of common uma sense...

    On a Pale Horse (Umamusume/Youjo Senki)

    It's funny how Shirogane treats her racing as a side job/stepping stone when she's literally a once-in-a-generation talent with the work ethic to excel even further. Of course, she's surrounded by an entire generation of generational talents and freak-of-natures so it's difficult to tell how...

    On a Pale Horse (Umamusume/Youjo Senki)

    Also, the statistics would show that races with Shiro in second place would often set new track records. This is also her third or fourth official race with the lead uma being carried away on stretchers? Even a casual audience member would notice something is up. I'm still hoping for Shirogane...

    Yep. Skintight minimalist outfits with just enough support to prevent inefficient jiggling, goggles, and helmets for safety would be the way to go for IRL umamusume racing.
