• Based on the champion Japanese thoroughbred, Kitasan Black’s global-release SSR support card has become the keystone of Umamusume’s meta since July 16.
• Its unique effect boosts all training outcomes by 5%, raises preferred-training frequency by 20 points and delivers three mood-boost events per session.
• Anticipation sparked widespread rerolling and FOMO-driven pulls, with some players even performing ritualized summoning practices to secure the card.
• Within 24 hours of release, Steam concurrency climbed from roughly 50,000 to 90,000 players and has since stabilized at elevated levels.
