Behold, one of the greatest excuses ever given for a traffic violation. The speaker is Celty from Durarara, who is a headless horsewoman riding a spectral shadow horse…except that horses aren’t very practical on the streets of Tokyo, so she had her horse familiar take the form of a spectral shadow motorcycle instead. Everyone thinks that the jet-black silent motorcycle is PRETTY SPOOPY at first, but eventually people start asking questions about whether it’s really SAFE to drive a motorcycle made of shadows and do you have a motorcycle license even? One day Celty just gets fed up and says: この子（こ）は馬（うま）だからヘッドライトもナンバーもありませんThis is a horse, so he doesn’t have headlights or plates. この this 子（こ） child （この子 “this kid” works sort of like an endearment term for “this one”. Definitely treating the motorcycle as something alive.) は (comes after the topic of the sentence) 馬（うま） horse だ is ～から because~ ヘッドライト headlight(s) も and, also ナンバー license plate (short for ナンバープレイト “number plate”) ありません isn’t, doesn’t exist …and has the motorcycle transform back into a HUGE GHOST HORSE which just BLOWS THEIR MINDS until traffic cop Kinnosuke Kuzuhara (bless his unnecessarily badass heart) takes one look at the situation, doesn’t even blink at suddenly seeing a horse instead of a motorcycle, and just goes “HORSES HAVE TRAFFIC LAWS TOO AND YOU ARE BREAKING THEM” and a high-speed chase ensues. -- source link
