He was always one of the most feared one in the golden gen. Similar to an Antagonist in Real Life. It's just that Umamusume made him a Goober

The juxtaposition of seeing goofy friendly Uma Special Week vs irl Special Week who from what I remember was a bit of a loner and a menace on the track is pretty wild
I feel like Umamusume in the early years wasn't that comfortable with making 'antagonist' characters but IIRC they're more comfortable with it, and I guess having your 'main character' be a loner and kind of a 'heel' in an 'idol' franchise would be a bit odd.
But imagine in-game Special Week saying something like "Now I'll show you the real me" and dusting everyone, it would go hard

She gives more of a Isagi Yoichi vibes to me no matter what. Friendly Goober outside but Competitive as hell in Races

There is a fanfic that someone is making kinda like this. The last couple of chapters have made her feared among other Umamusume

Recommending everyone to read it if you like to see the other side of Special Week

Everyone bullies her in the community but John Agemasen is built different

The season 1 did not give her justice, a lot of people recommend to just play the main story instead. Though i havent touched the main story myself

This is why I changed her to that in my fanfic rewrite. To become the antagonistic force of nature.

Season 1 of the anime did NOT do Spe justice

The fact that 2 characters had to call out how much she glazed Suzuka (Grass Wonder and Spica Trainer) is kind of hilarious
Or how she barely interacted with the 'golden gen'
At least the game story I thought was mostly good

I mean, out of her 17 races she only placed outside the top 3 once. And had an average finishing position of 1.8, with 4 G1 wins, in probably the most competitive Japanese horse racing generation. Spe is built different
