Neo Universe is a Japanese racehorse-based Umamusume character from the Umamusume: Pretty Derby series. In real life, Neo Universe was a thoroughbred racehorse produced by Shaddai Farm, owned by Shaddai Race Horse, and trained by Tsutomu Setoguchi. The horse had a record of 7 wins out of 13 races with total prize money of 613,376,000 yen. As a young horse, Neo Universe appeared physically weaker than his siblings due to a late birthday, but eventually developed impressive characteristics similar to Sunday Silence. Trainer Setoguchi recognized the horse's smooth, graceful movements and potential early on. Neo Universe won the Satsuki Prize, defeating competitors like Sakura President. In the game, Neo Universe became a monumental character representing the lifting of the Shaddai ban that fans had awaited for nearly two years. The character is noted as a strong pick for Medium races in competitive gameplay.
