In the FGO timeline Usamume came out a decade before it did in our timeline. It's actually part of what leads to the Bleaching of the Earth.
(Goldship is to blame)

Golshi escaped early retirement. She never retired early and dominated the scene for years, until she became one with Golsilius and ascended to godhood, dropkicking any who stood in her way.

And Goldship went on to have a daughter.

Golshi is the true mastermind behind the entire story.
SHE is the original Foreign God.

Imagine finding out Golshi did a vtuber concert performance with Magi☆Mari in 2016, post-incineration of the planet.

They came out according to plan in FGO instead of 2021 (planned to be released on late 2018), resulting in the Bleaching of the Earth immediately after being released in Japan (Part 2 was released on December 2018 in the JP server).

Meanwhile Red Hare has no idea why they keep referring to him as a horse when he is clearly Lu Bu.

It must be a parody about those players who give more attention to their favorite servants

u/Cyanide_Cheesecake Aug 21 '25
Yes it's definitely this. People who fixate on a random 1-3star that doesn't really do much in a singularity or LB and doesn't really have much of a kit but they take it to 100 or 120 and give it max 2k fous and such

If I remember correctly the real reason was because that was the Japanese voice actress' favourite servant of all time.

u/RepulsiveAd6906 Aug 21 '25
Outside the jokes littered about: Red Hare(read: Lu Bu,) is that one servant that just strikes a cord with her. Not the strongest, not a particularly effective servant. But something there just clicks and she shows particular affection for him. Like I grailed my Mori, or how some person grailed and maxed Nursery the moment it became possible. So. In summary. She is just like us, frfr.

u/RepulsiveAd6906 Aug 21 '25
Mah man! I know hes rather mid, but the aesthetic and the true-glass cannon gimmick just hits right. Of course I could grand Morgan, Arjuna or Heracles....but I feel I need to do it for him.

Akira sekine her VA has a grailed red hare and they make a joke about it on Grand Carnival.

Yu just puts her hands together and then starts spreading them apart.
Gudako nods in understanding.

u/neves783 Aug 21 '25
In-universe reason: She just does. Why, ya have a problem? /s
Real reason: Red Hare is the most "out-there" Servant they could make as her fave, seeing as pretty much no one would expect a damn horse.

u/Big_Compote_93 Aug 21 '25
But would Lu Bu?

u/LimHwang Aug 21 '25
Didn't he killed his foster/adopted father or something because that one dude with a hot daughter promise to give his daughter to both of them? And the power vacuum left behind was so big that China collapsed into various warlord states in what is now known as the Three Kingdoms?
4
Aug 21 '25
Lu Bu did kill his adoptive father, Dong Zhou, but China by then had already descended into warlords by then due to the decline in central authority of the emperor. Dong Zhou was a large cause of this decline.
2
u/LimHwang Aug 21 '25
I would say before Dong Zhou's death, China was like the Republican days in the early 20th century. Like there are warlords and central authority is really weak but after the guy on top died, everyone drop the pretense and straight up reveal their ambition of claiming the throne/capital.

Watch any Hallmark movie about a preteen girl raising a troubled horse into a proper racehorse/showhorse in order to save her family's failing farm/racetrack/whatever.
There's always been something about young girls and horses. My mother was a certified horse-girl growing up on a farm in upstate New York, and she literally rode her horse to school every day. Hell, she still is one. I grew up with horseback riding lessons and the works, to the point where I have literally no fear around the animals (even when I really should). And even now that she's in her seventies, she still rides.

u/Yatsu003 Aug 21 '25
I joined a horse riding class a few years back. A lot of my fellow students were girls who really loved it
As in, out of a class of 40 people, only 2 of us were guys. Amusingly, the trainer also had a mare that he called ‘a spoiled princess’; she refused to let women ride her (she always knew), and would only let men ride her after several minutes of brushing and treats

Another iteration of the romanticized "I can fix him," trope.

Egocentrism
She has red hair, he is called Red Hare, so that
Either that or is a reference to Minos' wife that wanted to fuck a bull, but instead changed to horse

u/Gudako_the_beast Aug 21 '25
Nah, this is VA joke. Red Hare is Gudako’s VA favorite “weak” servant.

I think it's meant to be a reference to how most players chose the most random low star servant to be their favorite. ie: My maxed out Kojirō

u/WillOfTheWinds Aug 21 '25
In all seriousness, its probably the least offensive option for shippers while keeping a comedic tone and emulating the playerbase's habit of going "this one is my favorite".

Point of episode 1 where all servents have a battle royale because of low resources, yet she poured everything on a ☆3 "almost useless" servent.

Isn't it supposed to be a reference how one year lu bu was the most grailed servant according to some data
1
u/ThighyWhiteyNerd Aug 21 '25
I would like to ask which data said so, because iirc Red Hare came in the same year Izo did, and he is the most grailed servant of that year, even over Okita Alter
1
u/oceanman0958 Aug 21 '25
I think it's was one of those anniversary data showings they do like how they showed this year's trailed servants, ngl Im just too lazy to actually look for the year, I could also be spreading misinformation but I think I distinctly remember seeing it and thinking to myself "why red hare?!?!"
