>>42258171Pekora and Towa first did a collab in DbD back in September 2020. This was one of Towa's first real collabs since her incident and she is very autistic to begin with, but perhaps that helped her get along with Pekora. Towa also said she was a bit of a nousagi and really liked Pekora's "aripeko." At the same time she also didn't seem to be inhibited by Pekora's aura and both took hits and fought back even in that collab. Afterwards, Towa got suckered into Pekora's Sora Mountain incident, where she got pranked into blowing up "Sora's" mountain, in an elaborate set up involving lots of TNT, Sora's (fake) menacing presence, and the beginning of the word "yab." In response, Towa wanted to get revenge, and created an overly complex trap that took many months and ultimately ended up just killing herself on the day of. Pekora was quite impressed by this effort though and recruited Towa into Usaken as a result.
Meanwhile, Botan was friends with many people, but FPS_KING_USADA could not let this upstart take her throne, and challenged Botan to a series of PUBG battles 50v50 with listeners from both sides. Inevitably, the nousagi spent the entire time griefing Pekora, but the streams were a lot of fun. Afterwards, Pekora eventually had Botan as an official-but-not-actual member of Usaken. Botan claimed to simply be a mercenary looking for food (ramen?).
The three of them actually collabed for the first time along with Marine in a Momotetsu game. However it was as part of Usaken activities (namely the summer festival right before Coco left) that the three of them really got along as the organizers of the festival (as Towa wanted to do something for her genmate, Pekora was her boss, and Botan was just laughing). As a result they became part of the face of Usaken (along with Moona of course) and to "help secure funding for Usaken" they played Payday 2 to rob banks. The three of them had a good dynamic, with Pekora and Towa constantly bickering while Botan laughed at their antics. And that's how Pebot started.
