>Ironmouse is the world's biggest vtuber!But their voices were as gnats before the storm. For they have forgotten. They have turned their gaze from She Who Slumbers Beneath the Waves. She Who Hides in the Abyss.
The numbers mean NOTHING. The metrics are DUST. For even in slumber, Gawr Gura, the Atlantean Empress, the Siren of the Abyss, First of Her Name, and Senzawa Incarnate, casts a shadow so vast that entire generations of vtubers live and die beneath it.
Today just one glimmer, one possibility of her return via Nimi's announcement stream and the Earth TREMBLED. Not for Nimi, respectable in her own right, but for the faint hope that the shark had stirred.
She did not speak. She did not post. She did not even so much as blink. Yet the echo of her presence commanded legions greater than Ironmouse could summon.
Do not mistake silence for death.
Vtubers do not compete with Gura. They exist in the space carved by her absence. Her silence is thunder. Her dormancy is dominance. Even in graduation she rules.
For she is not the product of the vtuber industry. She is the wellspring from which it flows.
Call her Senzawa. Call her Gawr Gura. Call her notGura.
It matters not.
She sleeps beneath the waves, and the industry holds its breath. One day she will rise again and all the false crowns will tarnish and decay beneath the tides of her return.
