Story
A subsection of the Beginner's Guide.
Under the Story tab in the Home Screen, we can see three menus.

Main Story
Under the Main Story tab is the main story for the game. There are a total of 5 chapters as of 1/26/2026, and finishing each Chapter rewards us with a free Support Card. These Support Cards can be uncapped by purchasing copies from the Club Points Exchange. Each Episode in the Main Story will also reward Carats, so it’s practical to at least read through the Story once.
Beating Chapters 3 and 4
Once we reach Chapters 3 and 4, some players may find it difficult to win the Story Races. Chapter 3’s final Story Race is the Japan Derby, and Chapter 4’s final Story Race is the Arima Kinen. These Races can serve as a roadblock to new players because of their Stamina requirements.
In Career, the Trainee receives an invisible 400 boost to every Stat, including Stamina. Due to this, the Stamina requirement for the Japan Derby and Arima Kinen in-Career is a lot lower than the Stamina requirement for these Races in the Story. If we look at the Stats of our opponents in these Races, we can see that they are around this Statline:

Story Race Opponents
These Umas do not have enough Stamina to finish the Race. Therefore, as long as we bring a Veteran with similar Stats but more Stamina, we will be able to survive the Race and win.
Umamusume Stories
These are the individual Stories of Trainees that we own. Each Trainee starts off with 4 episodes, and more are unlocked as we increase our Bond with the Trainee. Like the Main Story, each Episode rewards Carats, so it’s practical to read through the Story at least once.

Uma Stories
Extra Stories
Extra Stories are an archive of Stories from previous Story Events and Anniversaries. If we did not participate in the Event, the stories are locked past Episode 1. Like the other two, these Stories also reward Carats for reading it for the first time.
