so this has been bothering me since the first episode of S3, how come Kitasan Black and Satono Diamond got older, while Special Week and the rest of the previous cast (including the trainer) didn't age at all? Did I miss something about their growth? Can someone enlighten me pls?





Edit: thanks everyone for replying ^^ I watched ep2 and noticed that the trainer did age a bit, and I'll take your replies as the explanation for the horse girls. Btw Nice Nature = best girl

Same goes for Teio when she saw Rudolf when she was young. It's just something we have to accept at this point.

Going off a brief Google search, horses can start racing by two years old. For example the Kentucky Derby is run by 3yr+ horses. So it should be feasible that uma musume from S1 would still be active racers even now in S3 if they’re judging ages off of real horses.

Yeah, and how are they still attending Tracen Academy? Don’t they “graduate”?

@-BL0SS0M- it makes sense for the horse girls up to a certain point, which is the fact that they don't seem to graduate (why is Rudolf still there?). And the trainer? It's kind of confusing

This doesn't make sense because it doesn't, just bear with it.
Teio and Mcqueen were racehorces from early 90es, rice shower is 2 years younger.
Suzuka and Spe were racehorces from late 90es, slightly before Tm Opera O, TopRo and Admire Vega.
Kitasan, Duramente and Satono Crown were all born in the same year and were racehorces in 2015+.
Unless they would want to fully revamp all cast with every season they are doing it as it is now - mixing up horces from different generations (usual horse racing career lasts for 4 years, from 3 years to 6 years old).

Simply don't care that for now
PS: From my perspective if the life of Umamusume is as long as the real horses(20-30yr), it will cause a lot of problems for their average human children: they will probably lost their mom when they are still in kindergarden, but we have seen umamusume mom with their child not only once(RTTT Ep1,mobile game Mr.CB story where trainer meet CB's umamusume mom), so I prefer the conclusion that umamusume can live as long as average human

@system5 ok but why does the trainer look the same as in s1?

@Vizvezdenec As the start of every title explains, umamusume are the girls with the name and soul of racehorses of the another(real) world, so there is no problem for the mixture of generations

Tldr:They really never explain the aging as there's really benefit expanding its lore to the franchise.

They did explain some of the lores in the game character scenario such as umas that didn't really do well in race can still be a tracen student and pursue their desired career and iirc there's university in the academy too.Making the umas aging would also be a demerit for cykagames as they would need to make some important figure of the academy(rudolf for example) with someone that is equally proficient as her in the department.Which meant they need at least a character that had same or better race record than symboli rudolf and it's quite impossible to get those kind of horse license from the owner for now.

Kitasan and satono having rapid growth can be considered as just the plot device for the franchise.This is probably another reason why we didn't have the loli role for this season(though it would be obvious copycat of S2 if they included the loli in this season at early episode as well).

Don't question the lore of Uma Musume, it doesn't make sense at all if you think about it for more than 5 seconds. And to be honest, I don't think it really tries to either. So it's easier to just accept everything without question, like the horse girl Easter Island heads this season started with or the horse girl Statue of Liberty that was shown at the start of Road to the Top.

I, too, was wondering this.
Like, many of these 'schoolgirls' don't even race any longer, right? Why are they still there?
The little ones sure grew up fast. It makes sense they live in "horse years" even if it's bad for the game.

Twin Turbo is best girl. I'm so happy to see her again, she needs her own movie! 😻
