Racing girl PrettyDerby

Cygames “Pretty Derby” officially landed on Steam (Taiwan lock zone) at the end of June and launched an English version. The cute horse racing and realistic event scenes instantly became popular with overseas players. Recently, an American player played the game in a live-action game and reproduced the “self-surge” horse racing meme, which made his excitement even aroused heated discussions from Japanese players.

“Please, Gold Ship, the throttle will rush it to a halt! Now you need to show all your strength, the Kentucky Horse Racing is right in front of you!” “Nikolini”, which has nearly 10,000 subscribers on YouTube and Twitch, uploaded the exciting scene of watching the golden boat run the last lap while playing “Horse Racing Girl”.

Nikolini rolled the books into a stick and looked at the camera, made a jockey’s forward pose and slapped his one-sided hip hysterically, making a crisp and loud slap sound, and roared for a while and turned his head to continue watching the screen progress.

“Here! She entered the final straight line! Even with the force, anyone could surpass it!” Nikolini seemed to be getting stronger and stronger, and her voice was almost crazy. “She rushed to second on the sideline now, maybe she could win!” As a result, the Golden Ship did win second place, showing a gratifying expression, and the player herself walked out of the camera.

Nikolini called this intense essence of the “most intense horse racing girl competition”. The film received 90,000 likes. Some players asked him if he used the wii rocker condom to “self-spurt”? He clarified it was the book and testified with photos, which was an official magazine issued by Costco for members, with a large burger on the cover.

Nikolini’s mobile performance was transmitted to Japanese players. The retweeter said that when he saw “The overseas trainer is so motivated, even (players) are pushing themselves, we have to show this level of motivation~”

“Pretty Derby” has been released for more than four years. Retweeters believe that domestic trainers are too easily led by the numerical expansion of the environment (character/card strength), but instead forget the enthusiasm when they first started to come into contact with the game. “Shouldn’t we simply enjoy the work “Pretty Derby”!?”

Overseas netizens saw the retweets from Japanese netizens, and in turn praised the Japanese for launching horse-racing related works “Your love for horse ladies also inspires us to show the same enthusiasm!” presenting a cultural cycle of mutual appreciation.

Some Japanese players also think that there are many horse memes in the English circle, “I probably like horses very much, w.” “Golden ship: Even if I whip my butt, it won’t get faster!” “This spirit-filled energy makes people hate it no matter how w”

It was discovered that the Kentucky competition mentioned by Nikolini did not exist in the game, but paid tribute to the popular Kentucky Derby meme in 2019, which was held on the first Saturday of May each year, and is an open international level 1 for three-year-old horses. It is common for the on-site audience and horse gamblers to bend over to imitate the rider’s movements.

But the protagonist in the meme is even more exaggerated. He slapped his butt without any concealment, and even changed hands to slap his left face. The cameraman raised the bet, “This guy patted his butt like a horse, and the depraved gambler is the king.”

“Pretty Derby” has entered the world and became popular in the European and American player community. In addition to driving a large number of live broadcasts and VTuber, it also attracted new fans to watch “Theater version of Pretty Derby: The Gate of the New Era” in the cinema.

According to the trend of tweets, the premiere of Anime Expo 2025 in the North American Comic Contest last weekend was packed, and there were even more people outside the venue. I believe that this wave of craze can inject vitality (development funds) into the launch of five years of games, and I also look forward to the development of more plans to touch trainers in the cross-media IP of “Horse Racing”.

Umamusume: Pretty Derby Beginning of a New Era was a FULL HOUSE at Anime Expo 2025 on a Sunday.
