“The word ‘Bakushin’ (爆進) roughly means ‘explosive advance’ — fitting for a sprinting legend.”

How you COULD build the speed demon
  • Max tf out of Speed.
    Sakura Bakushin O is a sprint specialist,
    training almost exclusively for Speed
    makes her incredibly strong in career mode.
    Her schedule is nearly all 1200m sprints,
    so you don’t need to worry about multi-distance builds.


  • Stamina is STILL IMPORTANT:
    Only a minimal amount or a single stamina recovery skill
    is needed to avoid passing out in career.
    You could quite literally just take swinging maestro
    and start ignoring stamina.
    However for PVP, stamina is more needed.
    I'm not that well versed in the pvp aspect of the game or career
    but I just listen to advice from other players and do as they say.

    Different types of umas require different amounts of stam
    (FOR PVP)
    Sprint: 450 stamina
    Mile: 650 stamina
    Long: Probably around 900?
    From my own testing it just seems
    inconsistent but then again might
    be a skill issue on my end.

  • Power, just enough for acceleration
    and turns helps (around 500-600?)
    Speed takes priority.
    Guts is basically useless for her build.

  • Wit is useful to activate skills reliably.
    Slot in one Wit card if possible.
    Try to hit like above 300 wit.

• Support Card Setup
  • Aim for 5 Speed cards + 1 Wit card
  • Safer option would be 4 Speed cards + 2 Wit cards -ika
    in your support deck.
    Use high-level or rainbow‑maxed Speed cards
    to push stats to the upper limit.
    You're just gonna be doing speed and wit training
    since wit also gives speed.

  • She may be an airhead with a cute face but don't
    let that distract you from the fact that she is absolute unit on the track.
    “Trainer what do you mean you didn't max level break kitasan black for me?” No remorse in her eyes as I feel the cold metallic barrel of the gun on my forehead.

• Final Tips & TL;DR
  • Speed ≥ 900, Wit ~300, Power ~400–450, Stamina ~300 or minimal with a regen skill for career is enough, hit 450 is you want her to be used in pvp. Guts = ignore.

  • Build her as a front runner: She performs best when she's leading the pack because ♥♥♥♥ everyone else at the back.

  • 5 speed cards and 1 wit card works, ofc you can slot in cards that you think work better because I'm not really good at this game I just made this guide due to a request.

  • No overthinking: The Bakushin way is simple pure demonic speed and meme energy.
(my sources are reddit and youtube so if you guys have suggestions or if you see misinformation PLEASE COMMENT SO I CAN FIX IT, I'M A DUMB TRAINER THAT'S STILL TRYING TO WORK ON MAKING HARU URARA WIN THE ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ARIMA KINEN)

REAL-LIFE VERSION (THE ACTUAL HORSE)
Born: 1989 in Hokkaido, Japan
Breed: Japanese Thoroughbred
Sire: Sakura Yutaka O
Dam: Sakura Hagoromo
Nicknames: "Sprinter King"


What atrocities did our speed king commit?
  1. Won 11 of 21 career starts.
  2. Specialized in sprint distances (1200–1400 m) and dominated them.
  3. Won the Sprinters Stakes twice (1993, 1994).
  4. Awarded JRA Best Sprinter or Miler in 1994.
  5. Retired in late 1994 and became a successful sire of sprint champions.
  6. Died suddenly on April 30, 2011; cause of death not publicly disclosed.


More info on Bakushin!


  • The name "Bakushin" roughly means "explosive advance" or "burst sprint." Extremely accurate.
  • Takes her role as class rep way too seriously. And it works.
  • Her song that only has like 2 words in it, also took 2 people to write.
  • Her meme status is nearly legendary within the community.
  • Probably faster than the flash
  • Will lecture you about sprinting technique mid-race. While sprinting.

10/10 would risk a 99% failure rate on speed for her again.

"Long: Probably around 900?

Of course it's inconsistent. 2500m and 3600m have very different stamina requirements but both are considered Long.

P.S. If you only care about career mode, Bakushin doesn't need any stamina at all, the hidden +400 for career mode is more than enough by itself.
