>>74702743It gets better when you take into consideration two very important things:
1. Time zone differences
Tokyo is 13 hours ahead of EDT (NYC) and 16 hours ahead of PDT (LA). When the clock strikes midnight on May 1 in Japan, it'll still be the morning of April 30 in the US (11am EDT/8am PDT)
2. The Tokyo Stock Exchange
Anycolor has a massive hardon for its stock value, and the TSE loses at 3pm JST on trading days, including April 30. If there's any business Niji needs to get done in Q4, but hasn't done yet because doing it will drop the stock value, they'll have a nine-hour window to technically get it done in Q4 without negatively affecting the Q4 stock performance. There is a small but non-zero chance of weapons-grade fuckery in this window, including but not limited to graduation announcement(s) and/or immediate termination(s).
April 30 trading ends at 2am EDT on April 30 / 11pm PDT on April 29 - a bit less than 26 hours from now
And for the cherry on top: even if all 31 talents stream tomorrow, and even if all 31 of them each get Pekora-level superchat revenue in those streams, that still might not be enough to save the branch. The YOY drop for Q4 will be much worse than the Q3 drop even with such a jackpot.
