I've done plenty of yapping about Haru Urara this week, the beloved Japanese racehorse who lost every single one of her 113 career races. Both the real Haru Urara and her anime counterpart in Umamusume: Pretty Derby have been feeling all of the love since the game launched an English version in June, introducing her to a whole new audience and propelling her popularity to new heights.
There are small winks to her penchant for defeat throughout her in-game career—events where she loses but is still cheered on by the masses, and the fact she's still cheery even when placing terribly. But one moment exemplifies that more than any other: The Arima Kinen race.
