Rosa Coatl has chimed in and taken the "it's not fair PC gets to take an indie's identity away" line.
So I guess lucid let her keep her rights to her Rosa identity then?
I think this take doesn't take into account that Phase did a lot for Yuri while she was there. Beyond just more CCV associated with being with a larger corpo, there was also the new model, the merch, the Super Idol MV, and probably lots of other things I'm forgetting. It would have been expensive and difficult for Yuri to do those projects on her own had she remained an indie. This absolutely wasn't a case where PC just took her identity and a cut of her money and did nothing in return. If Yuri wants to keep vtuber as opposed to quitting or becoming a fleshtuber (if that rrat is true) or flipping burgers, then surely the best outcome for both her and PC would be for them to have kept working together. Maybe there's a chance she'll blow up as an indie or get scooped up by an even bigger corpo and I'll eat these words but I doubt it.
rosa is such a brainlet apart from being a "latinE", I guess every corpo under the sun most just roll over and give everyone they fire the character and shit. I highly doubt fishman just came out to lumi and yuri told them to give them their character rights for free and just to jump aboard. If he really wanted them he probably offered them both to keep their character at a higher cut for him of everything or he buys out their rights up front and gives them the standard cut of the other girls.
Out of the two lumi seems to actually be the one who really got attached to her character and the new model while being different in tone you can tell it's still lumi but yuri? she went for a complete overhaul with name change to boot. It wouldn't surprise if yuri isn't exactly hurting from losing her character, what stings is losing her gig for whatever stupid shit she tried to pull. From the two if each got a different deal, yuri probably took the money thinking if she ever gets fired she doesn't lose something she really liked.
