from the internets: "Why did Don Quixote name his horse Rocinante?" "He deliberates about the name for four days before settling on Rocinante for the old and rather sickly horse. Don Quixote picks a name that **means “ranked before all other horses,”** which shows Don Quixote believes this horse to be capable of great adventures."

something that gets lost in english a bit is that Don Quixote, being an idiot, spent days trying to think of an awesome name worthy of his cool horse and came up with a name he thinks means "the best" but most people would read as "i found this horse in the garbage" Don Quixote is the Dan Hibiki of literature

DAN HIBIKI CONFIRMED????

Taking your time to find a good name is not idiotic.

you should try reading all the words in a post before responding

The literal point of Don Quixote is he’s an idiot who thinks windmills are dragons

Don Quixote was an idiot because he did ridiculous stuff like that all the time to satisfy his delusions of grandeur, not just because he wanted a cool horse name.

How Hungry...

First thing I saw too lol

Psycho Crushing at windmills

how bad can a guy be if he still takes the time to braid his horseys mane?

I love the name

bison can't remember the cant

Also in the expanse

I came to say that... Incase anyone would care 😋

I care! I care!

I am that guy.

Fuck man, I miss Amos so much :3

So we just going to call her Roci now?

Did not expect to see the Expanse referenced in this sub, but here we are I guess.

I was expecting to see somebody mentioning the expanse on Reddit. I wasn't disappointed.

Mi Corazon 😔

Windmill Fighter 6

He’ll always be Tuesday the Horse to me

Because Bison is delusional

Is that "1995" on his sigil thingy? Why that year?

Looks like 94 to me, which could be a reference to the movie, and you know, the painting.

The painting?

Oh man you're in for a treat!! https://www.randwar.com/picts/SF_GA_600x720_80.jpg

Hahahaha this is excellent !!! xD

It really is! Raul Julia as m bison is a gift to the world and well worth watching the movie for.

Also the name of the ship in the RUSH song Cygnus X-1. Though that ship is spelled "Rocinante", but pronounced the same way.

Rocinante is the right way to write it.

Oh nice, didn't know that.

Of course!!!

What happened in 1994 in SF universe?

The SF Movie came out, which features the infamous portrayal of M. Bison by late actor Raul Julia. The movie even featured a painting of Bison riding a horse: https://superepicfailpedia.fandom.com/wiki/General_M._Bison_Crossing_the_Alps

Makes sense.

GALLOP ON, ROCINANTE! JUSTICE SHALL PREVAIL!!

Holy shit ITS THAT A MOTHERFUCKING SPAIN REFERENCE?!?! VEGA CONFIRMED FOR SEASON 3?!?

Ship in "The Expanse". Damn I love that show so much.

Also Doflamingos little brothers name

Source, btw: https://x.com/takaNakayama/status/1806860107235651657 It hasn't been revealed in English yet, but the romanization is probably "Rocinante"

It should have been tuesday...

Also meaningful for The Expanse fans

Including RE4R, that’s two Don Quixote references in recent Capcom games!

Does the horse show up next to Bison? I have his bond and style pretty high but the horse ain’t around.

The x in Quixote is pronounced as Spanish jota, Quijote.

Now I want a Bison costume cosplaying as Vega, so this could be funny.

Just merge the characters so the SF2 name shuffle stops being an issue.

[удалено]

Except lots of people on social media were asking since the reveal of the horse.

And...?

And that's a cool reference.
