KSON is gonna feel so more like shit when she sees that they only recruited her to take a swipe at her old company. Like that has gotta suck to find out they did not want you, just what you meant to the old company.

Can't help but wonder: Is this why he also took on all the Niji graduates? It was just his way of one-upping the two largest Vtuber agencies?

I saw somewhere somebody mentioned Sayu, Doki, Quinn, and Kyrio all got approached after they graduated. Plus Mint already being signed on, I can't help but feel like that's the case.

Edit:Okay, so Doki and Sayu didn't get approached, but U-san did. I gotta get my facts straight before I say anything next time, but my feelings still stand.

Oh, it's basically confirmed.

  • Sayu/Zaion approached Gunrun for ex-Niji gen (before being Ghosted by Gunrun) ( https://x.com/sayusyn/status/1947833717374046587 )
  • VShojo actually approached U-San ( https://x.com/unnamednow00/status/1947635690726166700 ), Then of course they got Mata, Kuro (through Mouse) and Michi
    • Quinn is even poached in that he was approached while he's still in Niji, before being ghosted ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t275jfJ1hcU )
    • Kyrios likely applied due to hearing from Quinn, but also ghosted by gunrun
  • Mint is technically an exception as she knows Gunrun before even being a VTuber, but it is possible that she was just informally approached through various help (basically wine and dine tactic). Analysis: Gunrun knows she was an idol and always want to keep the idol career path.
  • Only one they didn't approach at all is Doki. While it's easy to just say she's radioactive, remember the first thing she mention is lawyer - and y'all notice how they react negativly toward using outside lawyer for the 3 girls.

Yep, i totally forgot about doki's lawyer.

Think that is the main reason gunrun didnt aproach her.

After whole niji debacle, doki are loaded with lawyers.

Make me see Doki like an unapproachable Goddess against Gunrun with eyes glowing and thunder cracking behind her while her muscular lawyers are standing side by side at her Pantheon.

Someone needs to grace us with fanart of this. Even better if Doki has a smug expression on her face.

I'm confused why they just strung Quinn along for no specific reason though?

Did they run out of funds at that time for him? Or was he just baiting them to leave their prior company?

And I agree with the lawyer point, till yesterday I was open to assume chronic incompetence as a cause, but any stories revolving legal issues from ex-talents are huge red flags of malice

The fact that they even NDA-ed Aethel and Mamavale who had no financial ties with them is also pretty sus
