Finally what would be the biggest W of bringing Yuri back?
Phase gets rid of one of their biggest stigmas, the well known "YOU STOLE YURI IP".
Aside from hidden lore from year 1 and merch issues, the only "black company" moment Phase had was Yuri termination and even after Sakana explained the process of a talent leaving you will sometimes still see people saying that Fishman stole Yuri IP, specially when a potential vtuber could invade some bad apples mention the "IP ownership" as a big reason to not join Phase (and i guess some of you have saw Shondo discord screencap mentioning it too).
There is also the positive PR implications to the wider vtubing audience, the "wow Phase is soo good they even forgave a terminated talent".
At the end of the day i think that decision has to be a collective effort between all members of Phase to approve her return and i guess, everyone deserves a second chance
