Honestly, I think it would be an Uma like Super Creek that would be more focused on making sure Shirogane got enough to eat. Oguri Cap has too much of a risk getting distracted eating her own food.
Plus, if Haru starts hanging around Shirogane, Haru is likely to drag her friend Rice into things as well. I really liked Rice and Haru's friendship in the game.
Maybe Shirogane will show Haru how to run deliveries and doing so she ends up building up the stamina needed to run Long races while she is running around delivering things to all her fans and helping out. I believe the story explanation for her failure was that Haru was more focused on being...
Shirogane is going to traumatize some poor newbie pace setter in her first official race isn't she? Having Shirogane lock in and follow directly in your wake the entire race would be rather unnerving to a less experienced Uma
In game terms, I imagine she has a Gold upgrade to Slipstream that...
Speaking of historical horses, I'd like to see who Red Hare was in the Umamusume universe.
For those that don't recognize the name, Red Hare was the war horse of the Chinese warlord Lü Bu.
Hmm.... I had an odd thought, I wonder how popular Uma relay races would be? I could certainly see fans having wild speculations and debates about what the ultimate Uma team would be.
My point was less about having the energy, and more about not having the explosive muscles to reach the sprinting speeds most race horses get up to. As a horse breed for endurance Shirogane will be running at near top speed the entire race, setting what other Usa would consider an insane pace...
I fully believe that Shirogane has the speed and power to pull ahead of everyone as a Front-Runner in Medium and Long races. She has very good initial acceleration and staying speed. Where I think Shirogane's weakness comes into play will be the sprint on the final stretch. Her strength is...
I bet Shiro is going to be surprised by the number of Polish fans she gets the moment she is seen in public with her racing uniform. Then she might get stuck under the "Tanya effect" of trying to live up to the expectations put on her.
Ah, but Shiro doesn't need to have the best top speed if her average speed let's her achieve a big enough lead before the final stretch.
In game stats Shiro would only have about 900 speed competing with those who have 1200 speed. Shiro, however, has near max stamina and guts and spends much...
So, for this story, does Sweep Tosho actually have magic or just think she does? Because that could make for and interesting interaction between her and Shiro.
I think the thing that will shock the watchers the most won't be Shirogane's speed but her consistency. A brand new racer being able to maintain the exact same pace for an entire medium or long race would be quite unusual.
I'm guessing that Shirogane will be a racer with low acceleration and...
Remember, Umamusumes are supposed to be a reincarnation of horses. This would lead people to believe that Shirogane isn't just a war horse, but one from a time period when guns existed.
Edit:
On a different note, does Shirogane speak German? Or whatever it was called in her last life...
I hope Shirogane continues to build her relationship with the campus security. The fact that she just feels comfortable about them will confuse a lot of people.
On a different note, I really want to see Shirogane react to Rice Shower's bad luck. Perhaps she'll even wonder if there is actually...
