This collab is really making me think that we might be seeing a soft wall go up between the EN's and the other branches. Now that the girls have enough people to Collab with that speak English (two gens, Irys, and the ID's) I really am coming to doubt that any of the JP's are going to feign doing their eigo reps like they have been other than to bait foreign gachis into still giving them money.
What's the point? Unironically, it doesn't benefit them to learn English since the EN girls will just continuously be able to Collab with one another more frequently and they don't have to bother with Japanese social autism. Further, the JP's won't have to worry about the immense language barrier and the assumption that they will actually learn conversational English will go away simply due to no one requiring that they interact with one another. The only exceptions to this I could see are Kiara, Irys, and maybe Mori if there is a specific game that a JP wants to play but none of the EN's want to play.
This isn't meant to be a doomer post, I'm just sort of looking at the potential reality of the situation. If there was suddenly a MX branch we wouldn't suddenly expect the EN's to start learning English. The notion that there would be a cultural exchange has been mostly unfounded as the only one to do their JP reps was Ina.
