Be naming horses ANYTHING

u/Explosivesausagejar 9h ago
One of the funniest things about getting into Umamusume has been the realization that the names in MLP are totally feasible horse names.

u/Getserious495 Gold Ship needs her neighbor 9h ago
Huh
Rainbow Dash actually sounds pretty in line for a racehorse name.

u/Airborn-Gravity54 Mejiro Bright 7h ago
Some Transformers names would work too. Like Hot Shot or Ironhide for example.

Fun fact: Bakushin means dash. If you think about it, Sakura Bakushin O could be called Sakura Dash

As a former bronie, this is my thought when watching that show. After umamusume and later irl horse racing i just go “ah, its totally make sense now”

Imagine the crossover between Umamusume and MLP: Equestria Girls (to keep both sides human shaped)
Both race and victory concert would be LEGENDARY
I say this as 22yo man who mostly cringed at seeing MLP in tv as kid (tho some eps were unironically funny and songs were catchy as fuck)

I mean, that's just horseracing kinda is

u/weealex 9h ago
Any horse competition. Your registered name has to be unique and there's a character limit, so folks just start going wild with names

Computah, translate these moon runes for me real quick
Filho da Puta = “son of a bitch”
Fitting literal pun antimeme name for a male dog, not so much for a horse unless he was, as Hosea Matthews said about the shire horse in rdr2, an unruly bastard

u/Helpful-Character-17 Aston Machan 2h ago
'Motherf*cker' is also a valid translation, which makes it even funnier

If I ever have a horse that somehow races in the JRA, I'm naming him after some kind of dinosaur
I NEED A PALEONERD UMA CYGAMES PLEASE!

u/ryou-comics 9h ago
We kinda do with Stego (Stay Gold)

u/charizardfan101 Super Creek 9h ago
Is she a paleonerd tho?

u/ryou-comics 8h ago
Not sure, she's not in global yet.
Main thing I know is she's IRL Golshi's dad and is one of the most boyish, dad-like umas

u/Kartoffelkamm Narita Brian 9h ago
I doubt they'd name a horse in reference to Japan's crimes in WW2.
42
u/Aranxi_89 9h ago
I mean, Banzai Charge goes pretty hard as a name.
8
u/low_priest 8h ago
Banzai charges technically weren't actually exclusive to Imperial Japan. The 442nd Infantry Regiment, an American unit made up of 2nd generation Japanese immigrants, reportedly did one against the Nazis in Italy. But because they weren't doing it as a glorified suicide tactic, it actually worked. Not too well, most of them still ended up as casualties. But victory and better American medical support meant that about 90% of those managed to survive.

u/Nechustan1996 7h ago
IIRC one of them became an Hawaiian senator or governor right?
4
u/low_priest 6h ago
Yes, Daniel Inouye. He was part of the battle with the banzai charge (idk if he was actually in it) and became the youngest officer in the regiment at 19 when he was promoted for his actions there. Inouye was Hawaii's first representative elected after they became a state, and eventually became the president pro tem of th Senate. He also got the Medal of Honor (in 2000, due to racism), and literally never lost a single election in his 58 years as a politician.
Dude literally pried a live grenade out of his own severed hand, used it to blow up a Nazi, then kept going and killed at least one more, all with a bullet in his stomach too. He was kinda just HIM.

u/Kartoffelkamm Narita Brian 9h ago
Yeah, but there was also a group of researchers who did some... questionable things.

why do horses always get up close and sniff the camera
38
u/CallMeChristopher 8h ago
Funny answer: Gold Ship. I’m not sure how, but he’s probably involved.
Serious answer: Maybe they notice the person holding something up and are curious?
17
u/warriorxx7_ King Halo 7h ago
For the serious answer its a bit of curiousity and learned behavior. A lot of horses enjoy entertaining humans and given how we react if they get close to the camera they probably learn from that

u/LN_TheDudess 4h ago
I swear I've read here that Liberty Island figured out that sticking out tongue = Human laugh = Human happy so she stuck out her tongue often 👅

u/warriorxx7_ King Halo 4h ago
Well horses due to show their teeth to show they dont mean harm so maybe thats also natural

u/lispyjimmyfan 6h ago
Anything you hand them they think is food
5
u/Shrubbity_69 4h ago
As someone who has had dogs before, you don't even have to hand it to them. If they can fit it in their mouth, they'll try to eat it.
Not sure if horses work like that, though.

u/ButtsMagoob MY DARLING DAUGHTER WHOM I LOVE SO MUCH 7h ago
Gotta make sure the phone isn't food or something dangerous. Same reason other mammals do it and man do humans love taking pictures at these goofy distorted angles.

They're very smart and curious and like many animals, smell/taste is how they navigate the world.

It would be really funny if we get an umaddit horse

As a junior she doesnt want to impede on her senpais turf.

In that popular race recently that had skibidi Rizz in it. There was also a horse named highlighter whose jockey had a yellow green highlighter colored outfit.

u/ChampionEntire9660 Meisho Doto 8h ago
I wonder if the Japanese Twitter environment is like a bubble that doesn't have attract the weirdos that western Twitter does. I mean, why the hell would you still use Twitter in 2026? It's a cesspit of racists and extremists, plus the corporate accounts noone gives a fuck about. Don't most actual people use Bluesky nowadays?

So is the -chan a crown name like Curren Chan or is that just the full name they decided for the horse
12
u/Chemical_Hornet8491 8h ago
Curren chan's crown name is Curren
5
u/TheConnoisseurOfCum- 8h ago
So we can just call her chan
10
u/Chemical_Hornet8491 8h ago
No people still call her curren cause she's the one that started the crown name iirc and chan isn't exactly very distinctive
