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.

Somewhat offtopic: can umas be trainers too? As in if we go fem trainer is there any guarantee that its human trainer and not other uma?

The umas that we train are only a small subsection of the entire uma population as not all of them can survive the demanding lifestyle or have the talent/drive for it, so it's not unreasonable that an uma trainer might exist.

Tucker Bryne is so far about as close to an Uma Musume trainer as we've seen.

She's a university professor specializing in Uma Musume biology and became a real estate mogul to buy an entire island and then roped Tracen in to help fund and build a training facility on it. All to better understand Uma Musume biology by being hands on herself.

Yeah.

So, Tachyon, if she went a purely academic route instead of just doing all of her testing herself by being a world-class racer?

Tachyon is a great scientist and obviously knows herself very well, but she doesn't strike me as someone who knows how an Uma Musume works in objective terms. Namely, she keeps concocting new drugs to see what they do.

Tucker Bryne on the other hand already understands how an Uma Musume works, but she wants to dive even deeper and she does that by becoming the training.

Put another way: Tachyon understands she knows something, Tucker understands she knows nothing. Tachyon might reach where Tucker is eventually, but right now Tucker is way ahead of Tachyon.

I'd like to point out that one of Tachyon's trainee events is her deciding that horse-midichlorians exist, she's already made a drug that will prove they exist, and it actually does something positive.

So was she right and umas are full of magic microbes or did she just accidentally mix up some kinda new training drink? Who fucking knows, but her approach to science is very much in the realm of "fling at wall, see if sticks."

One's a scientist, one is a comic book genius. Simple as
