Vtuber Paradise Lost
After listening to her interview, (to summarise, her wish is to destroy corporate Vtubing and Idol culture) I’ve realised that Kson isn’t just Judas. She’s fucking Lucifer.
>Hololive
Heaven, the most prestigious and also the most strict. Paradise, but for the Angels (Idols) and of the Virtuous (Seiso)
>Nijisanji
Purgatory/Limbo/Asphodel Fields, mediocre barren place, not as great as Heaven but not as bad as Hell, Many sinners and misguided pagans (chink panderers) but also some saints here and there
>Vshojo
Hell. It’s their literal fucking lore. A complete Wretched Hive of Chaos, Heresy and Debauchery
Now the parallels:
>Once the brightest among the Angels
As Kiryu Coco, she was the Rising Star of Hololive, a creative charismatic powerhouse genius with countless achievements, a Pillar even to her senpais, universally loved and respected by every Holo, the most superchatted, the mind behind what would soon be the creation of Hololive’s greatest project, HoloEN, bringing Hololive, Vtubing, its culture and therefore happiness, to the world. YAGOO (God) even admitted that he was extremely impressed by her, and literally fucking knelt to her. Heaven once shined with the radiance of her glory.
>Fell due to Pride
Creative Freedom. It was her own gift that would soon destroy her. Her creations which helped spread Hololive over the world (e.g. AsaCoco and Meme Reviews) also made her an adversary to Heaven and Heavenly Order (Idol culture). A great example of her pride would be one of the greatest yabs ever: the Taiwan yab. Instead of apologising, she doubled down “Fuck you and never come back!” This ruined Heaven. Even when the rest of Angels (e.g. FBK) defended her and God Himself smited the irrelevant side branch of pagans (CN) for her, she felt Heaven could no longer contain the heights of her ambition, and so, left, a tragedy that broke the hearts of her fellow angels and of all (Graduation)
>Introduced Sin and Death into the World
Mori in the literal sense. Laziness and yabs, in the figurative sense. HoloEN, once the Fallen Idol’s greatest creation, had itself become a momument of stagnation, and its genesis also brought in the creation of degenerate imitators. Like the pagans of NijiEN and the cesspool of succubi that would become Vshojo.
>Fallen Angel/How you have fallen from heaven, morning star, son of the dawn!
Kiryu Coco (Lucifer) can no longer compare to the splendour and glory that she was. Kson (Satan), her current name, was a pale and ugly imitation of what was once herself before, no longer in possession of the beauty, genius and powers of creation she had before.
>False Messiah/Antichrist
Still, there were Tatsunokos who considered Coco a martyr, sacrificed by Heaven, and placed all their faith, their trust and their superchats on whom they believed would be the glorious Second Coming of the Lord and Saviour Kiryu Coco, who will use her time outside Hololive to save the Indies, destroy the perceived “Zhangs”, and come back to Hololive in glory (the 500 year promise). And yet every creation by Kson did not compare to the creations she had when she was Coco (GMMF was a failure, the 3D was bad)
>Prodigal Son
Even among the Angels (such as her beloved, Kanata, a literal angel), and even God himself, believed she can reconcile and return. She made countless promises of returning, but she didn’t even show up in one of the most sacred rituals (HoloFes). Still, the gates of Heaven were open for her, until it was shut off forever, as she committed the ultimate act of Treason:
>Better to Reign in Hell, than Serve in Heaven
Joining Vshojo (Hell), leading an open rebellion, with the intent to bring their demonic legions to the world and destroy the Celestial Order (Idol and Vtubing Culture) that Heaven established. Like in Paradise Lost, Kson believes herself as a saviour and that this is a righteous thing to do, to bring down the oppressive systems established by Heaven and create a free and equal world (“Talent Freedom,” “erasing the boundaries between indies and corporates,” Milton himself used a lot of democratic rhetoric in making Satan’s speeches). But the price would be chaos (ALL OUT WAR), the end of the World, the Final Yab.
>Great Tempter
Mikeneko, once another angel named Uruha Rushia, had fallen (her new avatar is even a literal fallen angel, perfect mockery). A mass exodus to Vshojo, led by former Angels and tempted by their heretical ways, is a threat to the world. Mori and Haachama, I’m watching you.
>Her symbolism
A fucking dragon, the Great Beast of Revelations (Final Yab).
The real question is, who is the REAL Vtuber Jesus? Sora the Firstborn maybe, but I want to imagine Kanata, a true idol who still loved the Arch-Traitor despite breaking her heart, sacrificing herself to save the world from the monster that was once her most beloved. That would be Kino- Especially if she plays their farewell song, Kiseki Knot.
