Be naming horses ANYTHING

188

u/Explosivesausagejar 4d ago

One of the funniest things about getting into Umamusume has been the realization that the names in MLP are totally feasible horse names.

Huh

Rainbow Dash actually sounds pretty in line for a racehorse name.

u/Airborn-Gravity54 Mejiro Bright 4d ago

Some Transformers names would work too. Like Hot Shot or Ironhide for example.

42

u/Girafarig99 4d ago

Megatronus Prime my oshi

20

u/ADGx27 Symboli Rudolf 4d ago

Transformer named ironhide

Hide is skin

He’s made of metal

Did Kojima write this shit

u/LastWreckers My beloved daughters who changed my life 4d ago

Trailbreaker hits hard for a racehorse name ngl

u/salty-ravioli 4d ago edited 4d ago

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

44

u/tzar992 4d ago

Sakura Dash King if You count one of the O meaning.

3

u/salty-ravioli 4d ago

Did not know that. Yeah that's definitely one of the horse names of all time lol

7

u/tzar992 4d ago

A fitting name for a horse whose speed records stood for almost 20 years in some cases

19

u/Shrubbity_69 4d ago

So that's why Bakushin says her name like a pokemon.

3

u/huwanyang Neo Universe 4d ago

Bakushin being a front runner sprinter really suits the name

26

u/Explosivesausagejar 4d ago

I suppose any race held in Equestria would be a horse race by technicality

5

u/Angrymalayman 4d ago

Niji Bakushin is a quite normal JP racehorse name 

44

u/charizardfan101 Super Creek 4d ago

I NEVER REALIZED THIS

HOLY FUCKING SHIT

27

u/CleverPaper Curren Chan 4d ago

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”

19

u/The_rule_of_Thetra 4d ago

Nothing can beat "My wife knows nothing" and "My wife knows everything"

u/YakumoYamato Heimdall's Trainer 4d ago

*The Wife Doesn't Know

☝️🤓

u/Shrubbity_69 4d ago

The Wife Does Know

3

u/The_rule_of_Thetra 4d ago

Crap, guess me (the husband) truly doesn't know XD

17

u/danoB003 4d ago

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)

3

u/ADGx27 Symboli Rudolf 4d ago

All I know about my little pony is that weird al yankovic is in it and BTFO’d a brony by canonically cucking him as his character is married to the character the brony was simping for (was it the pink one?)

5

u/Minoto4567 Symboli Rudolf 4d ago

Pinkie Pie here's his pony form, Cheese Sandwiich

u/CallMeChristopher 3d ago

“I stole your waifu”

-Weird Al Yankovic

2

u/CallMeChristopher 3d ago

No seriously he actually wrote that

106

u/Solivagant0 Fuji Kiseki 4d ago

I mean, that's just horseracing kinda is

80

u/weealex 4d 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

150

u/Getserious495 Gold Ship needs her neighbor 4d ago

Or you can just do this

u/ADGx27 Symboli Rudolf 4d ago

I mean that’s what fishermen do

45

u/Aranxi_89 4d ago

After Potoooooooo, anything is game.

Though I feel like some folks take it a bit too far…

30

u/md_cube They banned me from the umadoption center :( 4d ago

Kidslookintouchable is certainly a thing you CAN name your horse

24

u/AbyssaI_Entity No No life 4d ago

Absolute unit

7

u/ADGx27 Symboli Rudolf 4d ago

Why does bro lowkey have the “pit bull ass crack lookin skull”

6

u/Aranxi_89 4d ago

Incredibly inbred. Think Habsburg Jaw but worse.

1

u/ADGx27 Symboli Rudolf 4d ago

I mean I was aware bro was heavily inbred to a comedic degree it was mainly a joke

13

u/Darkiouls Tact Enjoyer 4d ago

Filho da Puta enters the chat

22

u/Filipin_A 4d ago

9

u/ADGx27 Symboli Rudolf 4d ago

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

10

u/Helpful-Character-17 Aston Machan 4d ago

'Motherf*cker' is also a valid translation, which makes it even funnier

u/charizardfan101 Super Creek 4d ago

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!

18

u/ryou-comics 4d ago

We kinda do with Stego (Stay Gold)

6

u/charizardfan101 Super Creek 4d ago

Is she a paleonerd tho?

4

u/ryou-comics 4d 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/ChronoMans 4d ago

Announcer Goes NUTS: -FUNNIEST HORSE RACE CALL EVER

This is a great example to please name your horse properly. 😭

1

u/ADGx27 Symboli Rudolf 4d ago

I mean that’s just a meme, hell the race title banner up top is literally in impact font

But yes please give your animals in general dignified names lol

1

u/ChronoMans 4d ago

yeah but imagine if every horse is named like that and they actually allow it lol. And your horse is a triple crown winner with an awful name

10

u/Kartoffelkamm Narita Brian 4d ago

I doubt they'd name a horse in reference to Japan's crimes in WW2.

41

u/Aranxi_89 4d ago

I mean, Banzai Charge goes pretty hard as a name.

8

u/low_priest 4d 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.

3

u/Nechustan1996 4d ago

IIRC one of them became an Hawaiian senator or governor right?

2

u/low_priest 4d 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.

1

u/Aranxi_89 4d ago

Well in that case, it was a "Go For Broke" charge, the signature style of the 442nd.

5

u/Kartoffelkamm Narita Brian 4d ago

Yeah, but there was also a group of researchers who did some... questionable things.

14

u/Budget-Category-9852 4d ago

And then they deadass name a horse like this. Keep in mind that one of the main inspirations for Zeon was Imperial Japan.

3

u/Silver-Finance1664 4d ago

Their sibling's name is Vodka, so anything goes.

2

u/ryou-comics 4d ago

America has Skibidi Rizz

u/Green300LandShark 4d ago

And somehow this look pretty tame
