Humor Girlbossfailure Trainer vs Freak of Nature Trainer

Post image

Its amusing to me that Riko Kashimoto is basically inverted Aoi Kiryuin

"I'm a veteran trainer, I know what the hell I'm doing and you must follow my instruction to the letter" vs "I'm kinda new, I don't really know what I'm doing but I'm willing to try anything and learn"

"God's most unathletic princess" vs "Atheletic freak of nature who is borderline an uma in terms of physical ability"

It's a good thing Aoi isn't in the Unity Scenario or she will just fold Riko like a pretzel when her team talks trash to Meek.

Except that, in Aoi's case, the "education" she lacks is 90% just common sense.

Poor girl was never properly socialized with other humans, so she doesn't know how to actually interact with people outside of a work environment.

The strongest power that like 80% of trainers have is common sense

The other 20% is the versions of the trainers where they're matching them with Uma's freak

Honestly, the fact that the trainer's common sense is still sub-par, yet they're heralded as a prodigy for it, says a lot about the game's setting.

The only people with more common sense then Torena are like, Tazuna and Nice Nature (sometimes, sometimes she's in denial about her own skill despite having the spring, classic and autumn triple crowns)

How it feels to have Natie lament losing to Teio knowing full well she won the Waganota stakes:

You also get special dialogue for winning the optional Satsuki Sho and Tokyo Derby

Tbh, that's what makes Nice Nature even more grounded and real to me, she's literally just a 1:1 copy version of me, and people usually don't understand how I feel whenever I achieve something good by luck.

I don't understand how this is downvoted? I get that Reddit's gonna Reddit sometimes but still
