D's horse is a generic, typical, everyday, run of the mill cybernetic horse, the one that can found anywhere cybernetic horses are sold/bred in the world of Vampire Hunter D. It's D's skill as the rider that makes the horse perform above and beyond it's limitations; put anyone else on that same horse and it's nothing special. While having D as it's rider makes for an enviable horse, it's also having D as a rider that makes it the most unenviable, as his horse usually gets killed/destroyed everytime D's attacked Anime smallmouth + sweatdrop

4. Horseclaws Kai and Kui (Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind) Horseclaws are the Chocobo-like creatures in Ghibli's Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind, a film that features a number of unique creatures. Kai and Kui are Nausicaä's personal Horseclaws, given to her by Lord Yupa. The Horseclaws were genetically engineered after horses went extinct. They are loyal creatures, something Kai proves when he makes the ultimate sacrifice for Nausicaä in the film.
No he made it in the manga, not the film.

What? No love for Holo the Wisewolf? Her heart will be broken. and what of the wolves of San's kin in Princess Mononoke? For shame.

Keep in mind that Chiyo is only 10 years old, so compared to most high schoolers she is very small. Not that it really changes that Tadakichi would be able to carry her around much.
Dunno if Chiyo-chan ever saw the series 'Meiken Jolie' better known in the US as 'Belle and Sebastian'. Wink

See Ep. 66 to see what Freakmasta meant. And judging from the size, I'd say Kokuoh is taller than a Clydesdale. That would definitely get you a few curious onlookers if you're able to saddle up and ride him.

My memory may be fuzzy on this one, but I don't know if Ryo Sanada(Yoroiden Samurai Troopers) ever rode into battle on White Blaze - a white bengal tiger (Off the top of my head, I have no idea what it's name in the original Japanese version is). It would be another option to consider if that was the case. Smile

Hey, I don't see Kyu from Detective School Q on the choices list. Now that kid is an awesome detective. Naturally I'm skewed toward Conan, but still, Kyu could rival him in the kid detective category.
If they were on the ballot, it would be a tough choice for me between Conan, Kyu and L here.

Aww, mention of D's horse, but not Kokuoh, Raoh's horse, from Fist of the North Star? He doesn't just make an entrance on this thing, he fights on it too. The things hoof prints are the size of an elephant's on top of it. Seriously, Kenshiro punches the thing in the face and barely stops it. That is one badass horse without a doubt.

And if you're thinking of Freddie's horse from Cromartie High School, that thing is a reference to Kokuoh, so it would make more sense for Kokuoh to be there. Freddie just rides his horse to the bathroom (and once, it bit Maeda's head), so it does a lot less than Kokuoh does.

Regardless of what form he is in, Shooter can inexplicably make horse noises.

Obviously in motorcycle form that is the sound of the electronic horn. Very Happy

You just won the internet.

One of the contenders for the list (although it doesn't quite count as a mount) that I wish I could of included was Totoro's Catbus.

No Panda from Tekken: Blood Vengeance? Who wouldn't want to rise a martial-arts panda to school?

how come in the choices for poll there's no L from deathnote!? he's the best
Add another person who would have voted for L had he been a choice in the poll (although he does have some competition with the one that I did vote for, Conan Edogawa).

The lack of both L from Death Note and Victorique from Gosick on the current poll is very surprising. Lynzee, please add them!

Isn't there a kid who rides a goat to school in Nichijo? I haven't watched many episodes of the show, but I think that's pretty funny!

I don't like mysteries much, so I'm not voting, but isn't Inspector Zenigata's role in Lupin III to be left behind frustrated as Lupin and friends get away with yet another heist? No matter how good he is, Lupin's always better. Not a good guy to go to if Lupin just ran away with your country's crown jewels or something.
