Smooooooooth operator, smooooooth operator

Lui's starting at the back of the grid because of engine penalties. ....oh, wait, wrong smooth operator.

Built to be bullied

Perhaps Peccers is just really bulliable. Mr Koro smells weakness like a shark smells blood.

Clearly the trick is to get the doggo liquored up first.

PUSHING DOWN ON ME, PUSHING DOWN ON YOU, NO MAN ASK FOR

@@aapzehrsteurer9000 koro means kill too

@@justkev1044 *korosu means to kill . Koro doesn't really mean anything to my knowledge

Subaru is the senpai so that's normal I think

Did you forgot that subaru is gen 2 lol

@@chrisff1989 Subaru's case is more of close friend changing your nickname all of sudden which lead to Doog's pressuring for the reason.

Korone probably wanted to troll Pekora a bit, too.

Nah Korone 100% did that to tease Pekora

True I think there's a raft collaboration where they decide to introduce themselves based on seniority and Korone is just waiting for whoever to begin when its actually supposed to be her

And then you have Lui who apparently has such an Onee-san aura, that she got called "senpai" by a bunch of holomem already.

Or a smooth criminal

Alternatively When Lui says Koro-san: "Yo, wassup" When Pekora does it: "Who are you and what have you done to Pekora! " 😂

I was thinking the same thing lol

Their voices matched so well in the Identity cover they performed together

Yea. Lui feels like Subaru with Okayu's personality, to me.

Koro-san definitely breaks the social etiquette which is so appealing especially to the Hey Guys Koronesukis

I feel like she's a shy introverted type that was generally raised around a small circle of very social people. So you get the best of both worlds.

Have you seen Korone and Aqua call in clip? Peak conversation skills from both sides.

She went to Tokyo University after all

Yeah, for a dog

Tokyo U grad

yeah when those different stages of formality aren't a thing in your own language and culture, I dont think you ever "get" it intuitively like a native. like you know whats going on in basic terms but its so nuanced at the interpersonal level, like what it really means between two people to change from one mode of address to another. and japan is so full of stuff like that. like the places youre supposed to sit in a room depending on where the door is and what the chairs are like, it all seems so weird and unnecessary. if you live there for years I guess you come to fully understand it.

@@-yeme- “Where you’re supposed to sit depending on where the door is” sounds like something borrowed from Feng Shui, because that’s actually a big rule in that practice as well.

I feel similar, while I do like the culture in many ways, even trying to learn the language, the honorifics always feel odd. They are just so formal. I can understand calling strangers or people at work "sir" "ma'am" (-san), but calling your friends, family, and someone you are in a relationship with that feels far too formal.

Teachers as well we refer to them by Mr/Mrs Surname

@@zyriantel9601 the way it was explained to me was something to do with samurai and assassins, if I remember right. it was a long time ago. but basically the samurai sat furthest from and facing the door, while his servants or bodyguards or whatever sat progressively further away from that top position, until the lowest ranking guy sat closest to and with his back to the door, so presumably he got stabbed first when the assassins arrived. then on top of that the most senior person is supposed to get the best chair, down to some poor scrub getting the little kids stool with the wobbly leg. how they work it out when those two things come into conflict, like the nicest chair being right by the door, idk. maybe they just dont set up rooms like that. also I got the feeling that while a lot of people still do it, its increasingly seen as an old fashioned or overly formal thing to insist on, as opposed to spoken honorifics which are still very much part of everyday speech.

Phrasing!

Huh i didn't know that

Lui has a greater age difference with Korone than Korone has with Pekora

Requiem

idk 🤔when I met my internet friends IRL we just called each other by our internet names.

Not sure about JP, but I think Mumei answered this question sometime during the string of EN off collabs this summer. They call each other by their real names in private but come up with code names for when they're in public just in case.

it because she older than most of them
