Can you believe this is only that guys SECOND video like thats some damn good editing and video style sure its heavily inspired by Internet Historian but because he's covering such a niche topic I think it will give the guy enough time to build his own identity given some time, hope to see more of him soon

One thing that Armchair either forgot or didn't know to add to this was Finana's contribution to Zaion's smear campaign. That was a _huge_ part of the outcome, because she was just as hostile as Kotoka but with a lot more weight being such a veteran.

50:12, For context from Sayu's stream, although I assume you've probably watched it by now. At the time of termination she was only able to speak about the situation to Ryugu (assumedly), who chose to present her statement after as if the conversation did not happen. Kotoka never reached out to her, and even more recently when Sayu reached out to her again to see if they could make up, it was a definitive no.

A lot of people are saying stuff like "Sayu is justified in not being willing to make amends with former genmates" and "why would Sayu ever want to forgive/connect with them again", but the truth is actually more sad. Just recently Sayu publicly admitted that she *did* try to patch things up with Kotoka, if memory serves she said she reached out to her privately months after the termination and the whole drama died down. Kotoka rejected her. So much for that "for now". "For now" was basically Kotoka trying to downplay the severity of her statement. It also reinforced the idea that Zaion was a bad person. "I can not wish her happiness *now,* but *maybe* I can in the future", implying that Zaion first needs to become a better person before Kotoka graces her with her good wishes. It just feeds into the whole "Zaion is bad" narrative.

When the Zaion termination was put on public, I was feeling something off. Since how the company aired the ex talent dirty laundry without proper chance, for the talent may offer their pov on the matter. Another thing affecting my feelings back then was the termination of Ocean Otoishi from Project Kawaii (if I remember correctly). The gist of her termination mentioned her breaking the rule and lies to management and to others talents. Suspiciously I think about a month or two later her former genmates all decided to leave the company for reasons unknown.

49:45 I always took the for now as a “maybe in the future I’ll forgive you and be able to wish you well, but I can’t right now because of how badly you hurt me/us” type statement. Trying to make herself sound like the better person because she’s so compassionate that she’ll eventually be able to forgive Zaion and even wish her the best

I strongly remember that evening when meloco dropped that black video stream. I was so fvking excited since, for a start, I was early for the scheduled stream, though I forgot if it was a membership or just a regular stream. We waiting over 20mins on the scheduled stream, worrying about Meloco. Then she stream the black video shortly after. Also, fvk Hex.

52:10 hex said that but he has gone way too far with his jokes but management did not bonk him. Plus causing possible trauma to the relatives of the ashes he used as fertilizer and the owner of the pet goldfish he used as an 3experiment to satiate his curiosity. tsk tsk, kapwa pinoy pa naman.....

46:05 That backstory has to be THE MOST FOREBODING shit I’ve ever seen.

Kotoka ratted hololives mel out too for “sharing private company information” with her. Imagine ratting your friend out to your company or theirs for sharing private work stuff they had coming up with you. At least it’s inferred since mels PL unfollowed her after leaving.

I agree with 99% of the video. The 1%, and it's mostly for youtube-compliance reasons let's be honest, is telling people that they shouldn't go after the other members. Sayu was brigaded by a corporation, you're not gonna stop individuals on their own from reigniting every time it comes up. I get it though, but frankly as far as Kotoka goes, can't say I'm in a position where I can wish her well. I hope she's reminded daily.

Ngl, when it comes to stuttering in apologies, I tend to stutter and repeated my words a lot to “correct” my wording or pronunciation because my brain runs too fast all the time, regardless if I tell the truth or not. My brain runs too fast that my tongue can’t catch up with all the words I want to say, so I fuck up the basic words sometimes. I also do pauses or talk slow at times, although I may not show it sometimes in my old streams. I fumble with my words all the time and slip up random words that had nothing to do with the words I was actually thinking due to my brain running so fast, so people may think I “slipped up,” which is part of why I worry if someone even sees my statements as genuine or not. What I learned about body language is noticing common habits the person does normally. If a certain behavior is something you see commonly from a particular someone being themselves, but it is usually seen as a “lying habit,” it’s subject to be either dismissed or speculation or some word I can’t think of. If the habit is something the person rarely does in speaking the truth, it may be a lying habit.

Me screaming internally that he didn't let the banger outro play.

I wonder if he will ever touch on Past events, like Coco vs China and her graduation.

51:19 I think the “for now” is in my mind “oh if you ever get big and famous and we forgive you you can collab with us, because we are greedy pigs who love making money”

The point with following the company is probably correct BUT there is also a kind of disconnect that can happen when a vtuber streams without the "corpo filter". Just a made up example: regular corpo vtuber streams, has some huh moments etc. but within the limits of the corpo. Same vtuber then leaves corpo and starts streaming without the filter and suddenly the huh moments are not moments but just their entire stream.

Hololive has a literal halo effect that is well deserved. I kneel to our Prophet and savior Sayu Saint-nicity

What do people say about the Devil... "They hate us, because they ain't us" xD Actually " The Next step to divinity"

17:19-17:30 This was the biggest Hindsight for Holo Justice and I'm all for it

Whenever you wonder if you're being too nice, read this comment: You're nice enough to not get your guard down.

This is a good video, It will be funny if in the future it become some sort of a point things to not do

5:58 "They called me a madman"

There are a tons of Vtuber I like that is on twitch but I never watch them because I don't like the website. I just watch their clips. I used to watch Pikamee's streams but don't watch Henya's streams and just her clips now. I followed Kson a year after her grad and her move to Vshojo and Kson and Coco feels like two different content creator to me. Hopefully with Vshojo getting new JP members and some will stream on youtube and collab more with Kson.

Even here I keep checking my Discord 😂😂 Why dafaq am I unsub T^T
