gotta be Global then? Though I don't remember him getting leg injury. :ConfusedGura:
He had a very promising start to his career with Yutaka, then he fractured the proximal sesamoid bone of his right foreleg really badly. The entire bone basically split in half vertically. Fortunately they didn't go with the usually prescribed euthanasia option and were able to bolt the bone back together again and Global recovered (albeit with some complications to his other foreleg because of the stress placed on it while the right one recovered) but his career was never quite the same afterwards. Did manage to win a GII post-recovery though.
Yeah, Sugar Lights is definitely based on a Yamanin (her hair color and hairdec colors), and Global's leg injury and method of recovery maps to Lights using a wheelchair and her "mechanical" approach to be able to experience racing again. She also has C.B.-style hairclips and the ahoge, which is likely a nod to the IRL Global being a son of Mr. C.B.
Odd that they went with "Sugar" in her name though. Made me think briefly of Teio's daugher Yamanin Sucre, then I noticed Lights' ear dec which marks her as based on a stallion.

aaaaaaahhhh... So that's why. I mostly saw the races he participated only during the 90s. I didn't even realized Global was part of the Chasm Generation of '89. Noted... noted. I'm expecting to have some tearjerker moments in the Scenario then. Who knows... maybe she'd have some words about Oguri too like the her other "genmates" in CinGray.
I have no idea why they went with Sugar Lights too. Probably along with the feel of it? Like the Sugar part may evoke Positiveness and the Light part alluding to Hope? Basically playing into her wanting to "run" again schtick.
This is just me stretching far and wide and reading too much into it.
So is she confined to the wheelchair? I think one of the training events depict her to be able to do pull-ups.
She is basically similar to some people IRL that still having that problem walking even they recover from that long time leg injury... Still she can't run which was the love and passion of an umamusume.
Added to HtH because of recent revelations of Saitou Shinji's (the guy in the back) actions. Daddy's being a(n alleged) rapist is bad enough here, but people on the Internet are also now worried over her IRL counterpart (whom Saitou Shinji absolutely dotes over) because him getting convicted would disqualify him from being a racehorse owner so Omatase-chan would have to be sold or "disposed of".

Yes, it's every bit as ominous as it sounds.
Apparently the co-owner of the horse took her in, so thankfully she isn't going to go the way of Samson Big or Ferdinand.
I had to do a double take, i thought this bloke was holding one of those grabby tool things that you'd see in an old cartoon before i realised it was a sword. Cool design, probably unwieldy if it was real.

Well, Jungle TachyonIS a thing so close enough I guess...?
knowing this horse exist, I wonder if Saito knows about this one... though speaking of Saito, Omatase-chan has a new owner now... is this related to his recent scandal perhaps.
EDIT: So it really was due to his recent scandal. Dangit Saito... that's why there's zero update to his channel for months now.
My take is bc the nice and kind ones are often the sus ones
Not helping matters is the fact that she's got a natural teasing quality to her, especially in her interactions with Yuuka where she understands her friend's tsundere nature quite well and is trying to subtly push her to confess her feelings to Sensei. This is also not helped by the fact that Noa is an "all the right curves in all the right places" kind of girl (not that Yuuka lacks them, but Noa's figure is definitely more prominent and silhouetted quite well by that flowing, silky hair of hers). Her voice also has a naturally soft, breath-y quality to it that many find borderline-seductive, which again, only adds to the tease factor. All of this and her high intelligence add up to someone who can easily be portrayed as a sexual tyrannosaurus and a female bull, with an insatiable sexual desire and the ability to effortlessly outmaneuver Yuuka into Sensei's arms and pants.
To be honest, I'm surprised that nobody's portrayed Yuuka being cucked not just by Noa, but the rest of the so-called "Dryness Squad" given that Noa is just as likely as Hanako to have organized the outfit.
