>>99577607Hololive is a company, not a single Vtuber. all they needed to do to replace gura is find two people who are half as talented as her or four who are a quarter as talented. I'd argue it's better that way since there wont be a person dominating everyone else in the branch.
In HoloJP their biggest vtubers are divided into the big four (Pekora, Marine, Suisei, Miko) with each one having different entertainment factor, and that plays a big role in cushioning JP fans when Aqua, arguably JP's Gura, graduates. If one pillar falls, the others still stand. The risk is diversified. EN needs to be like that, they don't need another gura with an "IT" factor nonsense.
Hololive justs needs to survive, to keep searching for new talents in order to outgrow themselves. And let's be real here, they will certainly outlast nuGura.
