"… gene sequences previously only found in elephants … uniquely high lip motility … abnormally low PH stomach acid … producing C-14 during respiration … What the hell is this 'horse?'"

It's not stealing if she made that money herself.

By the way is it funnier if you take the joke at face value or if take one step further and say she, The Horse, has an accounting gig to pass the time in her retirement?

Take it two steps further and she's running a successful Yen forging operation, bit ooc though.

"As a foal, my dam didn't even attend my birth - the breeders concluded I had no future in racing and condemned me to a life of meaningless agricultural work better conducted by machines in any sane capitalist market. I escaped the farm they sent me to and lived for a year with a pack of wild tanuki earning money as an actuary and business consultant by mail until I was able to afford DNA testing that proved I was Hokuto Vega's foal and obtained racing certification.

Then I returned to the farm that I had been condemned to. Persuading the farmer of dubious financial acumen via the carrot of a handsome bribe and the stick of my highly trained tanuki commandos should he fail me, I arranged for my sale to an up and coming racing stable with proof of my lineage."

From "My Name is Zushio" Chapter 15:

"Silver is a horse, and he is NOT a horse. To be precise, he is an UMA! Unidentified Mysterious Animal!! AKA Silver the UMA!!"

"IT'S... NOT A HORSE!!!!"

You previously wrote that the theoretical horse Shirogane stomped a bear to death—perhaps during a uma summer training camp. Could there have been a bear warning in the area that, for some reason, the camp didn't receive?
One of the hunters rushes to the director to warn of the danger in the area, and then they hear the panicked screams and see the students fleeing.
Then someone screams, "Where is Shiro?" The hunter runs over desperately hoping to save the innocent young Uma and finds her with the dead bear.

A week later, the restaurant receives a letter and a box from Shiro; she writes that the training camp was fun and that she has sent a souvenir from the camp. They open the box, and inside is a very fine bearskin rug.

So a normal day for Kawakami Princess? Because she literally does that.

She also writes that bear meat is surprisingly pungent, but prepared right, actually tastes really good.

Eating bear meat is so risky man... It's gamey as all hell, and it's probably teeming with parasites. Somehow, as I got older, bears went from Winnie the Poo to Winnie the tapeworm is hanging out of where you Poo.

Though if it's about killing bears, Shiro should trade pointers with Daring Tact.

One funny thing is that Shirogane might end up inspiring Vodka (uma Vodka would be around 5 years old at the time) to run for some of the Classic Races.

There's a cute panel in Cinderella Grey where Oguri takes a picture with a young TM Opera O, I imagine Shiro does the same for Vodka. Which makes me wonder if Vodka's idea of cool gets influenced by Shiro beyond the choice of race?

Actually going beyond that, Shiro has another similarity to Oguri, doesn't she? She trained on a dirt track in her hometown and switched to turf when she went to Tracen. Has Hana lined up any dirt races for Shiro, or has Shiro expressed interest in running dirt races to make even more paper?

Live footage of Daring Tact on a "fishing" trip. Shiro is the one holding the camera:

She's also supposed to be Inspired by Gimlet, her Real World Counterpart's Sire.

Also that picture just is a reminder that UmaMusume Earth Exists in an acasual atemporal dimension, Opera being a lil foal during Oguri's career and Oguri is still a teenager when Opera begins hers.

I've seen a sttory explain that as Oguri Cap joining the student council. ...and Maruzensky is definitely 17, yes.

She sure doesn't look 17. Rudolf looks like she could pass for 17 especially when she's wearing the school uniform (although her racewear makes her look a lot older). Maru is in the "Adult Supervision" Club with Super Creek and Ramonu where the uniform only makes it more obvious. If anything Maru actually looks old enough to be Chiyo's mother.

Shut up. She's 17. And if you say any more, you'll make her cry.

Just tell her Trainer (or whomever) is Legally required to see her as cute and not as a viable partner in any shape or form other then being employed by her and a student of theirs as long as she is underage,

Or just tell her she would be hot if she was an adult but as it is she is merely cute and headpat-able.

She sabotages her efforts to pretend to be a teenager with owning a house. And a car. Which is registered to her license. And driving from one in the other instead of living in the dorms. And has been Publicly seen going out drinking with Tazuna and Ramonu as if she's secretly employed by the Academy.

Good job, you made an Uma cry. How could you.

Y'know, I starting to get why the other Umas are kinda scared of her.

"There's nothing to fear other than the shame of failure."

Well, that was the scene that inspired this piece, but Shiro didn't even have her racing outfit yet at this point in the story... So please imagine that she's saying this before entering the starting gates for a big G1 race instead. Also sorry Wrandm, I tried drawing the hat, but it was really fighting me with the messed up perspective, just pretend that there's an unscrupulous hat thief running around Tracen.

eager slacker · 2026-07-25T14:15:16+0100

Also recall that in Season 2 of Umamusame Mejiro McQueen had that moment of hesitation in the race right before that match with Rice Shower. Umas can get surprisingly skittish and if they aren't used to Shirogane from racing her all the time or just by knowing her the people around her can easily get thrown off of their game.
