While helping your Umamusume train and fulfill her career dreams inUmamusume: Pretty Derby, you’ll encounter a variety of events. Some depend on the Support Cards you have equipped, while others are random and can happen regardless of what’s equipped and the Umamusume as your Trainee.

One of them will have you encounter Sasami, a strange acupuncturist who claims to have learned techniques from a master acupuncturist and claims that her procedures will never fail. She’s sketchy, her claims are dubious, and she’s just as likely to harm you as hurt you, but if you’re lucky, her technique can help your Umamusume excel.
