Shion had her last zatsudan a few hours ago. I thought I'd share some of the things she mentioned. (rough TL from shiocord)
- She enjoyed seeing people’s tweets about her original song - reading everyone’s impressions and interpretations.
- Yesterday was her final Rust stream. Pekora and Azki surprised her with a fireworks event as a farewell gift. She wanted to save everyone's messages/art from the event, so she downloaded them off-stream. Initially, she thought she'd just log out wherever since she won't be returning, but in the end, she walked all the way back to her house (which was pretty far from the event site) just in case Choco-sen (also playing Rust for the last time) decided to log in again. She didn’t want her to feel lonely with an empty house.
- She talked about a time when she went out to dinner with Pekora and Azki. They discussed how the Rust server wasn’t originally going to be ready in time, but they managed to speed things up just for her.
- She admitted she’s not great with large, time-limited group events since they can be a bit overwhelming (more people online all the time), but she wanted to join this one for a final chance to interact with holomems she doesn’t usually talk to.
- She thought she’d mostly be wandering around alone, maybe going on a few adventures with Pekora. But before she knew it, Choco-sen had moved into her house and started playing with her a lot. She wondered if Choco-sen only joined for her.
- She said she kind of wishes she had joined more group collabs before and regrets it a bit. But she also realized that if it weren’t for her graduation, she probably wouldn’t have joined this last one either, saying it’s a complicated feeling.
- For the last part of Rust, she had a drawing session with Subaru and Choco-sen. She thought it would be a quick thing but they became serious about it. Pekora wanted to talk to Shion once things settled down, but when she spied on them with a "hidden" camera (Peko immediately told them about it after setting it up lol), they were so focused on drawing that she decided to leave them be.
- She feels like she streamed every day this past month. She’s been ignoring feeling tired, afraid that if she stopped, she wouldn’t be able to start again. While she tried not to overdo it because everyone’s worried about her health, she really pushed through during the final week.
- She apologized to Shiokkos, knowing some prefer solo streams and others like collabs. She did so many collabs lately to make sure she had those final interactions with holomems, especially her kouhais who barely know who she is.
- While signing postcards, she’s considering watching Digimon (Brave Heart cover by Korone and Shion). Chat suggested One Piece, but she said it’s too long. She did some mental math to figure out how many years it would take to finish. She skips OP/EDs! Chat suggested 2x speed, but she doesn’t see the point, like "why watch it if you’re just speeding through?"
- Chat brought up pineapple on hamburgers (???). She said she’s never tried it and doesn’t get the appeal - she’d just eat the pineapple first, so then it’d just be a regular hamburger anyway.
- When thinking about her life on her deathbed, she said her happiest moment would probably still be the Shion in Hololive 4 years ago. Her goal after graduation is to create a new "peak" in life that can rival that feeling. She doesn't think she can do that here anymore, which is why she’s graduating. She reassures her fans they can find happiness too - but phrases it carefully, like “everyone find your own happiness”, because she doesn’t want people blaming her if they can't become happy or get angry at her when she said they'd be able to.
- She recalled when she first got the offer to join Hololive - at first, she thought it might be a scam. Back then, everyone (up to 3rd gen) kind of assumed it would only last around two years. She reminisced on how much Hololive has grown, and also got mindblown by how expensive the current studio is.
- She wants everyone to keep happy memories of her instead of being sad she's gone.
- When she first heard about going affiliate or the term "ending stream activities", she thought it was the same as graduating. She decided on a full graduation because she felt it would be cruel to make people wait for a return that likely won’t happen. But for some reason all of 2nd gen is convinced she’ll come back anyway—at least to play Uno lol. They kept saying they’d welcome her back anytime. Chat joked they could just meet up and play privately, but she playfully said, “2nd gen? Meet up? You really believe that’s gonna happen?”
- She told everyone not to believe everything they see on the internet since some rumors about her were floating around recently.
- She didn’t apply for the Switch 2. Said if she asked, her viewers would probably just give her theirs.
- She talked about the early memories OkaKoro mentioned on their recent streams:
- Watching The Grudge with Korone at the studio
- Doing Nagashi Somen with Okayu and Aqua
- Noon-time Minecraft sessions, where people streamed Minecraft around noon and have another stream later in the day
- Someone in chat said 6.5 years flew by. Shion agreed the beginning and this last month went by quickly, but there were a lot of times in the middle where things were rough and it didn't feel like time was moving at all.
- She thanked everyone - fans and holomems - for finding her. She said, “Everyone’s probably going to cry tomorrow”... and then laughed! Chat said she’ll cry too, but she's giving herself a pep talk to hold back the tears until after the end - otherwise, it would mess up her singing. Chat joked about doing a graduation live but stream ends when Shion cries speedrun.
- She reminded everyone to check out her graduation merch since she won’t be around to plug it on the last day. She also hopes everyone listens to her original song at least once before the graduation live.
- She mentioned needing to return the work phone the company gave her.
- The thoughts of graduation starts to set in. She wondered if she’s the only one who still feels like it isn’t real.
- Topics toward the end (I'm just gonna list it here since she keeps on going back and forth with the thank yous and bantering with chat):
- Asked chat if they had any last things to say and Shiokkos being Shiokkos, asked about her shampoo brand and the color of her pantsu, which she never answered
- She loves the Shiokkos! (finally not shy about it anymore)
- Prefers fries with BBQ sauce and nuggets with mustard.
- Doesn’t wear socks at home. Playfully roasted a creepy chat comment: “You’re gonna regret that comment! You’ll look at it later and wonder why you were so creepy!”
- Said she’ll never use Instagram.
- Nani ga Suki brainrot. Still melons > Shiokkos, apparently - so chat spammed the red angry emote. She complained that it was the emote’s fault that her chat froze.
Thank you Shion! You're a kusogaki until the very end, I'll miss you!
