>>13793643>What is stopping Gura to do same?"Getting a new rigger" involves handing that rigger the full intellectual property of the vtuber model - the chosen rigger will see Gura's naked base model, for instance, as well as every individual sprite and accessory, in the native resolutions they were drawn at. That means 100% chance of NDAs and contracts.
Cover does not put in effort for EN/ID branch, it's 90% talent effort and 10% manager effort with 0% corporate effort. But signing contracts is all corporate, so it'll never happen. In addition, Gura is a socially anxious EOP while Coco was confident and a fluent JP speaker. Coco could actually push talk to Cover and push to overcome standard Jap laziness, Gura categorically cannot do any of that even if Cover didn't treat EN as second-rate.
