>>89511292Since I saw this thread while heading to /vsj+/ I'll just drop all the actual info here instead of the speculation from people who are just making things up on a whim
>First tease was October 28th, during Mel's Jiangshi model debut. New background with a bunch of ghosts that looked like VShojo members, but 4 of the ghosts were unidentified.>Things were quiet until the day after Henya had a ZZZ sponsorship. Suddenly 4 plushes appeared on her background. Some thought the plushes were ZZZ or other Mihoyo characters, but nobody was able to identify them. Until suddenly someone connected them to the unidentified ghosts in Mel's background.>Everyone goes on red alert, it seems like new members, and 4 of them at once. Over the next few days Michi, Geega, and Froot all hide them in their own stream layouts>During this, one of them is actually identified as a currently existing vtuber named Hestia Happiness.>/vsj+/ goes completely schizo in trying to identify the other 3. Finds some interesting similar-ish designs, but none of them match up even half as closely as Hestia does to her plush. The other 3 are still not ID'd>At the same time, the Twitter teasers start dropping. Thanks to the plushes we know which silhouette belongs to who, but nothing else.>The teasers introduce another completely unexpected element though. 5 portals are in the sky, but we've only had 4 plushes teasedThe current situation is: Are the other 3 people entirely new, redesigned indies, or simply evaded notice? And MUCH more importantly, why 5 portals but only 4 plushes? If there's 5, why wasn't the 5th one shown? Leading rrats are that they're too recognizable and would spoil the surprise because they're a big name, or that they not a huge name, but a VShojo viewer would recognize them instantly.
Teasers have been dropping at exactly 9 PM CST, so unless they don't do one today for whatever reason, we could find out some more answers in less than an hour and a half from when I hit post on this.
