>>50562094The "merge" already happened during Tempus debut.
https://youtu.be/5AAk6aNc8qE> Sana was Tempus' senpai, talked to them before their debut and helped them out.https://youtu.be/-QKRhLSnAwY> Meanwhile, neither the JP homos nor their management was informed that Tempus was debuting.> They found out when it happened, just like the audience.https://youtu.be/Xg09Qsf5xsEhttps://youtu.be/Y_8NBITAdgM> Tempus Debut watchalongs were the FIRST EVER Livestreams on the HOLOLIVE ENGLISH channel.> Not the Holostars channel (which exists btw), The HoloLIVE channel.https://youtu.be/5NUCjeGWZBQ> Tempus collab ban with HoloEN cut short by one week due to """popular demand""".https://youtu.be/EJCPSVzm8wk?t=7235s> HomoJPs, meanwhile, had to wait for an extra week to collab with what are supposed to be THEIR Kouhai.And that's just the CONFIRMED clues.
The shady nature of EN management not wanting "gens" to apply to HoloEN, despite all of JP referring to them as Gen1 or Gen2 rather than "Myth" or "Council", was simply a prelude for them wanting Tempus to be seamlessly integrated into the Hololive EN ecosystem.
There's also Ame's Worms collab invite confirming that HoloEN and Tempus share a Discord Server, which is where she kept dropping her invites, leading to Fauna, Gura, Kiara etc. never joining her collabs. Unfortunately this is mengen-only.
Tempus are the 3rd Generation of Hololive EN, they're just labelled as Holostars to avoid controversy and outrage from both sides of the aisle.
They're managed by HoloEN management, HoloEN girls are their senpais who they have a shared server with, StarsJP is a different branch to them who they had a longer collab ban with (like a foreign branch), and StarsJP were not involved with their recruitment, training, branding, management or even just to give advise before their debut.
