In musical terminology, denotes a passage marked to be played in a bold and firm style. From Italian: "Roughly, coarsely, harshly".
Japanese racehorse. Sired by King Kamehameha and foaled by Admire Groove (a daughter of Air Groove), Duramente was a racehorse with an exceptional record (9: 5-4-0, 2 G1 wins) but his career was cut short due to injuries. He was Kitasan Black's major rival during their classics.
However, what makes him most exceptional is the quality of his offspring. Despite dying unexpectedly due to colitis on August 31, 2021 (he was aged 9) and thus, only having a few years worth of crops, his legacy is already set, thanks to Titleholder and Stars on Earth, assuming they themselves survive long enough in stud.
In the context of Umamusume, the game had to settle with a stand-in NPC (Brusquement) until they could finally score Shadai Group horses, thus finally paving the way for the real deal in Season 3 of the anime.
