On a Pale Horse (Umamusume/Youjo Senki)

The Trainers are going to hate Shirogane's run for all the G1 races +extras, this will set a precedent, the other Umas in her school might try to race them with her.

And a feat like that would have Younger Umas wanting to do the same years later, specially if she keeps running them each year.

Something like that could be called The Iron Uma's achievement, with the extra gold, silver, and bronze, versions if you not only manage to race them but also get the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd place in them.

I can already imagine the trainers this year telling them that they can run some races or the other but not all of them like Shirogane.

Of course this will most likely be the event that really gets a lot of attention for her, probably not winning them but still running in each of them and getting in the podium.

I loved the race, poor Mori Survival, might not even remember the whole race since she probably was in survival mode most of the race.

Getting to run against Shirogane in her last year is a nice touch, part passing the torch part making sure to race, what she probably knows will be considered a legendary Uma years later.

Its good to see that she's good at making other put more effort, but Im worried about some getting injuries because they try to hard, and lack Shirogane's insane Stamina and recovery.

And yeah Shirogane´s favorite surface is concrete, she's probably really used to run it, under any weather rain, snow, blizzard and typhoon, because the Pierogis must be delivered no matter what!! :V

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 extraordinary she is.

She's like Krillin from DBZ. That guy could easily blow up planets and wipe out entire alien civilizations singlehandedly but people mock him as weak because he's always facing off against literal destruction gods, universe conquering aliens, and multidimensional abominations.
 
Hahaha... I don't know at what point the Uma's natural madness becomes Shiro's madness.

Hahaha, everyone screams and suffers to run at full speed until they're unconscious during the race, and Shiro is thinking about saving money while he runs.

Hahaha, and the eternal silver is here.
 
Demon of Distance is a great nickname. Alliteration for the win!
King Halo turned to her classmate in bewilderment, trying not to feel envy at how Shirogane looked barely winded while her own breath came with difficulty.
Seeing how Shirogane is barely winded at the end of her runs reminds me of this other Youjo Senki fic, a crossover with Pokemon. In that fic, Tanya is a chansey and at around 40 chapters and at least one gym in it is revealed that due to her war experience/trauma, while she's been wrecking her opposition in battles, she's been conserving her energy. Because you know, war being war she couldn't afford to use everything she has in one battle and had to pace herself for multiple engagements with uncertan recovery periods. So in her new life she had unintentionally kept up the trend, meaning in pokemon game terms she had minimized her pp usage for attacks to make sure she won't run out later. I believe something similar is happening here. Yes, Shirogane is giving it her best when running but she is still pacing herself so she's able to run again at the drop of a hat. The trick for her to break her limits in speed is to get her to actually give it her all, with nothing left in reserve afterwards. Kind of what Mori Survival did in this chapter.

She's like Krillin if Krillin actually used Destructo Disk properly and pursued further development of that technique.
 
You know what, with how long we have watched Steady Distance, I want her to have at least a pseudo zone at her last race against Shiro. A last send-off against her adorable kouhai.
 
Hmm, when they do their summer camp I really hope that in addition to bringing her Tracen friends to her family's restaurant, that Shiro also introduces them to her hometown friends. I just think it would be cute. x3

"How kind of you to ask," Shirogane chuffed, tossing her knife in a quick spin, catching it by the tip between her fingers. "My family runs a small restaurant in Fujisawa, and I help out in making the food sometimes–"

"Oh thank God."
Heh, they were getting a bit worried there.

"As you well shouldn't." Shirogane smiled. Her schoolmates wavered for a moment, before their resolve hardened.
And they all even passed that final Will Save! Truly, spending so much time around Shiro-chan has improved their Guts.

a bay haired opponent from Kyoto, who almost looked like she was running for her life.
...

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!
I wonder who that is?


but if my cute kohai is gonna run at both Crowns, what kinda senpai would I be if I didn't go out swinging as hard as I can?"
Now THAT'S a memorable scene in any sports anime, the sempai wanting one last bout with their kohai. Steady is a good friend.

but she ended up being too preoccupied with carrying a sound asleep Steady Distance to really appreciate the view.
And so is Shiro. Heh, Steady trying to be a cool sempai while granny Shiro is just nodding along with her adorableness.

Well, I think this race could be a turning point for Tanya. Her friend, perhaps her best friend, is literally telling her that she wants Tanya to be her final rival; Tanya is a person of great honor, and I'm sure this will awaken a feeling in her that she was missing something needed to truly transcend in racing.
Not sure about that one tbh. I'm not sure I'd call her dishonorable per say, but she was willing to be fairly underhanded as Tanya; she was more motivated by pragmatism than honor.
Hmm, while I don't think Tanya necessarily cares too much about honor unless it benefits her... She does care about the order around cultural traditions and the respect due from one to another. She should recognize this trope, and how much this situation means to Steady. And one thing about Shiro in every one of her lives is that she gives her all for the people she cares about. Them racing one another might just be what Shiro needs to WANT to give her all. Rather than just "doing her duty".

I'm looking forward to seeing just who will win their race.

Of course this will most likely be the event that really gets a lot of attention for her, probably not winning them but still running in each of them and getting in the podium.
Damn right it will. Just from the sheer exposure of them seeing her name over and over again through the entire year. Like, even without really trying you eventually start noticing and memorizing the names of others in forums just from scrolling past them often enough. Seeing the same Uma in so many fucking races back to back? Shiro is gonna make a name for herself by doing this... Kinda the exact opposite of what Agnes Tachyon did honestly...
