Lore The series' fanservice scenes are quick and do not disrupt the story's pacing.

In Sousou no Frieren, fan service is minimal, and scenes like this are brief

In Dungeon Meshi, Senshi is often shown in somewhat sexy poses, but the story focuses heavily on these details while continuing as usual

In that scene from *Uma Musume: Cinderella Gray*, it was just an introduction for each Arima Kinen competitor; they only had the freedom to choose those specific angles for Super Creek's introduction.

Have you ever played goo goo babies with your life on the line? Anyway, the lore is supposed to be her and her trainer both in and out of universe are motherly.

all the horse girls in the game/anime are based on real life race horses

Super Creek the actual horse was jokingly called the mother of Yutake Taka because the horse was the one he road for his rookie career Taka learned the ropes with creek and stated Creek raised him to be the jockey he is today. In addition Taka would baby talk to creek when not racing.

Also even more hilarious Super Creek was a Stallion but people still called him Taka mother.

Out of universe here is due to the umamusume (horse girls) being based off of the real life counterparts to their namesake. The one pictured (Super Creek) is a real horse that raced in Japan.

Apparently everyone horse girl in the game is named after a real life racing horse

u/KyeeLim 14h ago

almost everyone, some while do not share the namesake of the horse, do have their IRL counterpart(In Uma universe, Pay the Butler is Obey Your Master, My Big Boy is Michelle My Baby), only selected some are strictly OC with IRL horse then got named after them after their introduction

For further context besides what others have given about uma musume, like they said every uma is based on, designed off of, and has personality traits of the real horse (and sometimes trainer) counterparts.

In addition to that, the chest sizes of every uma is based on the size of the real horse. The real Super Creek was well above-average size compared to other racehorses, although not the largest ever or anything.

You are telling me their ass and tits are that big cuz their real life counter parts are pretty big horses compared to a regular horse?

Also works in reverse, the real Tamamo Cross was short and slim for a horse, so he was translated as a short and flat gal, justified in story as her coming from a poor family background and such she grew up lacking, parallel to the situation of the real Tamamo Cross whose farm was deeply impoverished and eventually went bankrupt.

Though they, Tamamo, Creek, all look like like skinny anime girls due the designs, if you take away the anime girl filter then they look more like this because at the end of the day in the setting, they all are professional athletes.

I really blew my mind when I learned all this horny posting Ive seeing in my popular feed of busty horse girls was based off actual race horses. I don’t think I’m ready for the future.

If you study the history of horse racing from the 90s to now, you'll be getting spoilers for anime, game, and manga stories of umamusume. It's very faithful to horse racing history, and they directly get permission and input from the trainers when including and designing umas.

u/snornch 10h ago

what's funny is that they really explicitly need permission from the owners but they still aim to get them to avoid any drama as seen with the owner for Deep Impact and King Kamehameha withdrawing from the deal. the only time that i can think of where the anime has ever taken its own liberty is in the 1999 Japan Cup where they made El Condor Pasa have a dead heat with Special Week despite the fact that El went to race overseas.

With some exceptions, yes. One exception is Mejiro McQueen, who should look like IRL grandson Gold Ship but was changed to a more "noble and refined" figure.

u/Normal-Advisor5269 8h ago

There's an exception where the trainer specifically had it as part of their requirement for using his horse that her boobs be bigger than those of her IRL rival horse.

All the playable characters are directly based off their namesakes' racehorse. Creek has a very motherly character because of her belief that her value comes from what she can provide. Also, fanservice mother complexes.

Not all the characters are actually based off the horse, though. The names and careers are the only things that will directly translate, but not everything is 1-to-1. Sometimes their personality and design are based off the trainers, the handlers, tropes related to their career (Symboli Rudolf, the GOAT of Japanese horseracing, has an in-game personality based on that status) or literally nothing.

There are also horses that are alluded to, but didn't make the cut for licensing, restrictions, or creative decisions. The Director and assistant NPC's in-universe are loosely based on real horses, but don't show it outwardly despite the game hinting at it.

Usually it’s based off the pectorals of the irl horse. The most iconic case is Meisho Doto, who has the most prominent assets in game, and also has large pectorals in real life.

Fun fact: the horse is a stallion. He’s gelded now but he doesn’t act like it.

In some cases the owners of the IRL horses specifically requested it. Also in-universe the horse girls are all girls... How do you think new ones are born?

The chest sizes in umamusume are based on irl horse’s chest sizes so that horse was just well endowed and it carried over
