>EN and JP audiences don't really have a true 'bridge'Like her or hate her, Coco brought both branches together with her dumb reddit shit, and the sense of unity was good for everyone. If you were a jpnigger, this is THE WORST POSSIBLE THING, but if you were a Hololive fan, it was great, even if the memes were retarded it really helped bring the fans of both branches closer together.
The loss of Coco, the debut of Council, and finally the release of Holox really ended up separating the fanbases a lot. I don't think Hololive will ever manage to get another Coco though, the mix of talents to serve as that kind of bridge is ridiculously hard to come by, and I'm not sure even Cover's scouting could manage to pull a second rabbit outta the hat like that.
