Regarding the graduation of a certain shark, is there hope for the return of the cowboy?
I'm honestly coping so hard rn but if it makes her come back again I'll recover

Senzawa tweeted a fish a few days ago, so that gives a lot of hope. Although, my guess is that she will first take a break from streaming before re-starting as senzawa.

Yeah, if what she said is true, and it almost certainly is, I bet she takes at least 3 months off before we see even a hint of any return.

Gura is basically always on break from streaming, though. Is she going to take a break from taking a break?
I mean it's her life but from a marketing point of view she should stream as soon as she can, while the iron is still hot.

I'm assuming a lot of stuff has been happening behind the scenes, so this "break" she's been on probably hasn't felt like one as she fights management. If anything, she probably doesn't want to return to a large audience, at least for a while, so returing "while the iron is still hot" is probably a bad idea for her mentally.
Give her time.

Hard to say. But she would be free out of travel commitments, dance and vocal rehearsals, constant brand deals, "do this, don't do that," etc. She would be able to set the pace to do what she wants, when she wants, for how much she wants.

Senzawa now has a blue check on Twitter that she didn't have the other day. She wouldn't pay for that if she didn't have plans on returning. she is also following Dooby now. I think that should erase any doubt

And was followed by Casey Edwards.

Maybe, might do a rebrand like Dooby did.
Alpha_Salmon
And nimi
what-kind-of-fuckery
sorry who is dooby and nimi? i know senzawa but im new to the vtuber scene in general
poser27
Dooby was Amelia Watson and Nimi was Ceres Fauna.
Remote-Astronomer-46
Are we actually deadass? I knew Amelia was Dooby but I never knew fauna created a new persona. (Ps I haven’t been active in the vtuber community since Amelia left and only recently got back after mumei announced her graduation)
EchoMeMoriAeni
She rebranded, but still uses her old channel. Also her ASMR channel still has her PL name LemonLeafASMR
Happy_Ad_7515
is there hope... yes. but she might not go back but go forward.
SaintLarfleeze
It's one of those things where one of the reasons she seemingly is leaving Holo is because she got way too big for her to handle. Her coming back to senz is not going to be any different.
Virulent_Hunter
Not necessarily. As Sen she has free reign on herself and brand, she can do the things that she truly wants when she wants to vs as Gura her entire image and schedule was set by Hololive. The release from contractual obligations is probably very freeing, at least that's how I see it.
SaintLarfleeze
Right but her huge audience is a huge problem for her. It's only going to be marginally smaller when she's Sen
Battlefire
I'm always confused when people say this. Image? Besides her avatar, her image was set herself. Schedule? She was on break for freaking two years. What schedule did Hololive set for her?
It was her popularity and the expectations that came with it. The fact people say her graduation is "an end of an era" is telling. That is too much on one's shoulder to carry.
Taka_Kaigan
I KNEW this sub would come back to life after the annoucement, hopeful yes.
Specialist_Win_1602
yeah we are back
EchoMeMoriAeni
would say so, but question is to what extent
culade
I'm sure she'll make a comeback.. as soon as she remembers where she wrote down the password to her YouTube channel..
DisEkript
I think there is hope, but that shark needs to take it slow, given the reasons for her graduation.
Also, Senzawa lead a not-so-healthy lifestyle, so perhaps a rebranding is in order. As much as I love the blue gremlin, change is necessary in this case
seremuyo
OMG, what a great if true.
Hitokiri_Ace
Maybe.. if it's more the company holding her back vs, herself.
Based on the past.. welp.. I wouldn't get my hopes up. lol ><
I would love that though.
Satell_S
Thank you for posting this. I wanted to make a funny little joke post here, but I was scared of coming back to this subreddit after all this time.
I’m really sad this is happening, but I’m really hopeful for the future.
TheSaifman
I'll feel hope when she is collab-ing with Dooby3D 😬
Wooper160
I wonder if it will be as Senz or a new name and face using that account like the other two did
SenseEducational8156
It might take a while for her to come back
athleticweeb7
Between her recent tweets and bio updates, the shark saying she LOVES (not loved) streaming upon her announcement, and the cameo of the blue dummy in Tokyo Wabi Sabi Lullaby music video, I’d say there is a very good chance. At worst, perhaps a little rebranding similar to Dooby. I would be more surprised if there wasn’t a return of sorts at this point
HoboMeatballs
Senzawa Twitter just got a blue check. She's coming back
Puzzleheaded-Ad2186
She just got verified in twitter too. So I hope. But more than anything if she comes back i hope she actually enjoys it!
tipsyTentaclist
I want to believe.
And I want the tiny one to be happy and just do the occasional silliness without pressure to do additional demanding stuff.
kad202
She probably wait the current indie scene self implode a little bit more (Sinder scandals). When the morale is rock bottom she would make a come back.
So far we have Nimi and Dooby will perform as Virtual Summer on July 5th 2025 in LA. HoloEN Fes probably in August (late summer) so I think Senz came back after HoloEN Fes would make much sense.
Hopium the grey 4 tons orca Shachi can recovery her health enough for a comeback by end of the year too.
That would be the 2nd SNOT (Sen, Nimi, Orca, Train conductor) cast reunion
Weeell, she DID tweet a single emote and follow Shachimu and Nimi Nightmare's accounts about a week before the announcement.

Artist/singer who used to have a Vtuber avatar but retired it around three years back. Also joined a certain Vtuber company and is currently on her way to graduation.

Why are we playing Coy about this?

She is nanashi mumei from hololive
KurobinaYuki2 11 points · Apr 2025
It's an unspoken rule that directly mentioning a Vtuber's past life by name in public is bad manners.

I agree with them, the "unspoken rule" you're talking about is stupid. It's only useful in official spaces, like the chat of the vtubers or whatever. Here, we're mostly on the same page.
