>>91632803Excuse the incredibly long post but I kinda got curious as an ex-fan and figured I'd write up my thoughts. The assumption is post-niji because NijiEN has no potential for rapid growth anymore.
Elira is fucked, shit out of luck, Riku's yacht is complete and his cock she will suck.
Rosemi isn't exactly capable of being that entertaining but I could see her making a 3view fanbase post-niji. I don't know shit about this tournament and literally only learned it was happening today, so I don't know if she was actively sucking management cock, if she is then I imagine that's a death knell too.
Finana can find another group of simps.
Petra knows Japanese so no matter what she can succeed but personally I hope she doesn't because she's been siding with the bullies since before NijiEN had any graduations. But she can flip that coin as many times as needed for the next 10 years, the chance for rapid growth is there.
Enna, Millie and Reimu are all just fucked. They'll never show up in the vtubing world in any decent regard again, the best they can do is go indie and pull the "I was forced" card but that would only alienate the few fans they have left who're still deluding themselves into thinking nothing ever happened in the first place. So the worst play they could make and one I hope they do. Best they can do is go back to being western utaites, a dying breed where me simply saying it's not outright dead is the highest compliment I can give.
Vox is probably the only one who can make the cleanest getaway, because he has the eternal army of chink fujos, but he'll be in a totally different world from the rest and will never meaningfully interact with any others post-niji unless he spams replies on Twitter and sicks his fujos on them, pressuring them into collabs like they did with Shoto before he fucked off entirely.
Luca... I don't know, honestly? It's a coinflip. I'm going to say he has the potential too because of the fujo fanbase, but fujos primarily exist in the sense of their fantasies: if Luca or Vox literally never interact with anyone else they're not going to get new underaged first-blood's to worship their every move. But there's always some guy stupid enough to do it ala Shoto, so I'm going to say the potential for rapid growth is there for both of them.
I forgot Shu even existed. He's not good enough to be a Valorant pro but maybe Shibuhal can pick him up post-niji if he becomes a padnigger.
Ike has mixing skills. I don't think he'll ever become popular but I can see him staying a name that singers pay attention to. Most popular he'd ever get is being the next Yab though, an impossibility.
Sonny will do another flip and nobody will care.
Uki will start voicing Undertale AU, Hetalia, Haikyuu or whatever comics and get a fanbase.
Fulgur is rapidly growing in a different sense.
Alban has some handle on Japanese but not enough to be able to make it as an indie, and his stints collabing with NijiJP have done basically nothing for him.
Dunno anything about Iluna but I know Ren has a semi-popular roommate, Aster will end up becoming a VRChat whore again, Aia is a no, Scarle is also a no (money means nothing here), Maria I believe also has a semi-popular roommate.
Kotoka and Meloco are japanese and seen as interesting so the answer is yes as we're talking NijiEN and not NijiJP, Doppio can go back to ASMR and Ver is probably a no.
I don't know anything about Krisis, TTT is already dead, and Denauth is a buncha nobodies.
