>>76464640This may sound weird, but there's one aspect to Bijou that's actually like Gura. She just does her own thing. With someone like Calli, Kiara, Mumei or Nerissa, you know they want to chase numbers. They do crazy shit like long streams and talk about specific numbers they want to achieve. But Biboo just does her own thing. Biboo has been called a runt at one time, but thats also because there are times when her CCV is relatively low. Well, low against the more popular ASMR/GFE streams. But because Biboo is playing the role of the kusogaki memelord gamer who just wants to have fun, she's attracted a particular crowd who watches her for "that". Add to that her penchant for long streams, as inspired by Kaela, and she's doing pretty great.
I said it before in another thread. Ludicrous as it may sound, Bijou is the closest Hololive has to a "second Gura". Of course, she's more like Pikamee/Henya than Gura, but she matches Gura in terms of brattiness and meme energy. And after all, Bijou has been the only person to truly eclipse Gura in CCV numbers, even if it was only once and under specific circumstances.
