>>5754442Uhh let me preface it first by saying that I agree Mio and Marine been trying to support her in this current hardship she's been wading through lately, either to help her being comfortable playing Minecraft again or just by giving some moral support.
However the part I have a problem with what you've been saying is basically:
>That the Akukin members don't actually think it's a real thing or show any loyalty/care for her, that they just want a bit of whatever offered some clout?I don't know about them wanting a bit of whatever, but I'm genuinely on the opinion of nobody, even Aqua herself, in that Akukin Construction think that it's a real thing, or it's a way for other members other than Mio and Marine to show any loyalty/care for her.
>She already lost Moona who then got put on a pedestal as the prime Usaken member.This is what most viewers herald as the spark that ignited the rivalry between Akukin and Usaken. But if you comb through the archives, Aqua inviting Moona to join her 'company' was actually just a spur of the moment event. Aqua and Marine were working on the ship, then Moona appeared offering help, and since there's no reason to reject it and the two of them been roleplaying a construction company at that moment might as well invite her for more entertainment value. That's literally there is to it.
Then some days after that Moona, having free time similar to previous time, helped Pekora and decided to also do it on long term since she's taken a liking to her, hence the switching company thing.
Aqua even put the motto of her company as 'Free to come, free to go'. The rivalry between the 2 companies is great for more storyline, but clearly Aqua herself isn't as invested in this 'rivalry', she just want friends to make some shit together. Aqua still visited and used a lot of Usaken 'properties', and Pekora wasn't even showing any animosity towards it. Like, let's face it, the 2 girls are probably the least invested in this 'rivalry' thing. Viewers, like you, are the one overblowing it out of proportion by scrutinizing every actions member of each company made.
I apologize if the word I'm using are too harsh, and hope you have a good day.
