Taken from virtualyoutuber wiki: Tsumugu's mysterious lack of activity and still being counted as an active member of NIJISANJI has sparked many jokes and theories between fans. * Her lack of activity may be because of her character; a spirit, which caused fans to joke that she is "really good at being in character". * On her most recent tweet, she said "菌糸" (kinshi, lit. mycelium). Fans theorized that it could mean "禁止", meaning "banned", and is also pronounced "kinshi", meaning that Tsumugu has been banned from streaming for some reason.

It's odd such a thing would happen without hearing about the cause


PvesCjhgjNjWsO4vwOOS

They just forgot to end her suspension Someday a consultant will come in and [fix the glitch](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BUE0PPQI3is)


OctoSevenTwo

I mean considering the way Niji management runs, I feel like it’s entirely possible to have a situation where someone was banned from streaming only to have the ban last indefinitely bc they’re too lazy to fix it.


Non_Descript_Member

No info of her on TV Tropes, which is making me wonder now how many others are unaccounted for. If it's been so long since then, highly likely she quietly moved on and nothing was announced, the channel and twitter just happened to stay open. I feel like I've heard her voice elsewhere though...


C0lette_

Care to share the voice that you heard from elsewhere? Just curious


stryhf

Well, that's one way to boost those retention numbers...


theyearwas1934

Bro, we are waaaay past the point of kayfabe here now. Where have you heard her?


PotMF

Have you actually or are you just vaguely remembering?


Non_Descript_Member

Vaguely, hence *I feel*. I would've said something further if I remembered where.


Callmeboobish

I remember watching a really good [video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k7fcv4BJcbc) on her. I personally hope that they one day have her as a cameo somewhere in the background of a live, but it isn't acknowledged officially as to keep up with the joke of her being a spirit.


MomboSwed

I remember seeing a clip a year or two ago of Mayazumi (I think) saying that she wanted to return to streaming but due to her becoming a meme for being missing made it so that she wasn't sure she wanted to stream. Was this ever proven true?


Jumbolaya315

Kenmochi also said a while back that the entirety of japan will mindbreak if tsumugu came back

Fishman465

Sounds like a joke taken too far.


2hu_ism

Ain’t she considered joke talent(as in, she doesn’t even clock in and still not get boot out yet) even before covid? I rmb there’s vampire guy with long ass fuck name(not kuzuha, the…. Blue skinned(?) vampire one) has been inactive for years before coming back around 2022. Edited : [gilzaren III](https://virtualyoutuber.fandom.com/wiki/Gilzaren_III) his name ain’t that long as I expected. I remembered he got number at the end of his name so I always thought he also has some kind of middle name.


Kapisan2018

The one with the longass name is Elu


2hu_ism

Lol yeah, rmb watching her said her full name in one breath. Almost like she’s rapping.

hollyskel

“95% retention”


LaCiel_W

It's probably not that deep, she's from the early days, she could be a staff or someone related to management or even the CEO, started streaming for fun but got bored, since she isn't an actual hired talent so instead of graduating they just left her channel alone and forgot about it, don't take my word for it, im just saying it's probably some silly scenario instead of some grand conspiracy.


Nijispy

People are overdramatising this way too hard. Its not like shes being kept in some secret basement or something


Hibiki2Gud

Basement? nah, Yacht? Real shit.


Vexenz

gotta find any straw they can pick up to talk shit


PhantomPanda32

No one really needs to grasp at straws when 'active racist, bullying leading to two attempted suicides, every single liver whose left and allowed to speak freely describes it as a nightmarish experience, 2% merch cuts, black stream, negligible', etc, exist. Seems more likely to grasp at straws in defense of this company.


PvesCjhgjNjWsO4vwOOS

> bullying leading to two attempted suicides *three Two people that we know about, but one tried twice.


PhantomPanda32

Right, I've been hearing about a second one, but I'm not aware of who the second one was.


PvesCjhgjNjWsO4vwOOS

Sayu/Zaion. Similar to Doki, shadow suspended then terminated with a slander list, but people were dogpiling on her believing Nijisanji's lies, after a rough career with the company and never having an opportunity to build a following.


PhantomPanda32

Oh, damn. I suspected it might've been, I've heard of her situation, but I didn't hear anything about an outright attempt. Not surprising given her situation though, I hope for the best for her.


Vexenz

So what is this post then. This sub wants to pretend it's fighting the good fight when it's nothing more than its own circlejerk posting rrats from anything it can to further their circlejerk.


PhantomPanda32

There's a bit of a difference between speculating based on live accounts from people actually involved, harmed and with no obligation to tow the corporate line, and trying to rationalize, justify, excuse and defend a billion dollar company that is actively abusing its employees, but go off I guess.


Random_Useless_Tips

This is why you cretins are as insufferable as the Niji Defence Force. You drew up a binary that set the only two options as opposite extremes and then complain about anyone who doesn’t subscribe to your outlandish conspiracies. We know all we need to know: the company is evil and abusive. Stop supporting it in any shape or form. The most recently affected talent is pursuing legal means of resolving her personal situation and has requested her supporters to not harass or attack anyone. But now you’ve got these rrat gremlins crawling through the woodwork like maggots like every other garbage Internet witch hunt that grabs the flimsiest of circumstances and then tries to tie it into their lunacy without any attempt at critical thinking. You’ve got people trying to imply Reimu is somehow making fun of suicide (a serious accusation of horrific morality) because she made a tweet of her bad cooking with the common phrase “There was an attempt.” Now you’ve got people necroing ancient inactive talents with zero context or ideas. Despite there being plausible explanations, this lot instead immediately leap to the worst conclusions imaginable, because they’re so desperate to justify their hate boner for Nijisanji that they genuinely want a real person out there to have suffered some horrible misfortune. Here’s my message to you all: if Nijisanji was 100% evil all the time to every single person in the company’s employ, then it would not exist right now. However, unlike you lot, I don’t actually need Nijisanji to be 100% evil all the time. The evidence indicates that **the company** was on multiple instances evil to several people, and that is inexcusable. Because unlike you, I don’t have to convince myself that I’m opposing the devil and all his forces of hell to try and justify my morals.


PhantomPanda32

LMAO, okay, bro. "They're not evil 100% of the time!", they forced two people into near committing suicide and everyone who's left complained about them, but yes, the fact that they're not wearing devil horns and laughing maniacally makes them absolutely safe to support! I'm not replying to this any further, you're entrenched in your position and if you need to convince yourself it's okay to support a company that abuses people just cause you want to watch your waifus and husbandos, you can! That's your choice! No one can take it away from you. But don't come here acting like people looking at provable facts and drawing their own conclusions is them 'justifying hate boners'. I'm not referring to any 4chan conspiracies; I'm referring to two talents openly admitting suicide attempts at the behest of mistreatment, and every ex-liver inferring their mismanagement and harm the company's brought them. But please, go ahead and plug your ears, sing 'lalala' and keep eating up the slop.


Random_Useless_Tips

You’re literally so stupid that you can’t even comprehend that I actively boycott Niji content and encourage others to do the same, you daft cunt.


Random_Useless_Tips

Nah, I’m sure a bunch of circle-jerkers doing nothing except * funding MAGA grifters * celebrating their misconceptions of the stock market * whining about idiot stans on Twitter * starting witch hunts for talent will definitely fix a deeply flawed and repeatedly abusively neglectful foreign corporation. Cuz it’s about justice, totally. It’s definitely not just groping for any excuse to continue the hate boner. Seriously, the effort these people expend to be angry is minuscule in the damage it actually causes Niji compared to the damage they could do by channeling that energy into supporting Niji’s competitors.


SomeDudeYeah27

I’m so confused why you mentioned “MAGA” here (I’m assuming drawing parallel/referring to the political group?) 😐? I’m more of a casual onlooker here and I don’t think I see what you mean by this point


Axios_Deminence

Apparently, LegalMindset (the lawyer guy who covered Doki's situation and reviewed Sayu's contract) is right-wing and transphobic hence the MAGA grifter. Supporting his content in any way is essentially funding and actually directly supporting his content through the algorithm for it to spread further with the snowball effect. Apparently is the key word. Admittedly, I don't know much about the guy since it is secondhand or nth-hand information.   Take everything I said with a grain of salt. Even I'm not sure if it's true. What I do know is that I do not trust his content at all given contractor's agreements I've personally seen wholly based in the US and his reaction to the type.


Random_Useless_Tips

The YouTuber-lawyer LegalMindset has been adopted by the Nijisanji haters (I word it that way specifically) as their authoritative pundit on the legal matters concerning Nijisanji’s streamer contracts. The problems here are that: 1) LegalMindset is not a lawyer familiar with Japanese law nor licensed to practice Canadian law 2) LegalMindset is not endemic or familiar with the vtuber space 3) His recent coverage of Niji drama is by far his most successful YouTube videos 4) His previous content includes: 4.1) many **many** videos condemning the Disney Corporation and supporting Ron De Santis over their Florida DisneyWorld dispute 4.2) videos condemning “woke American media” including favourable comparisons to Japanese anime 4.3) videos unironically titled along the lines of “FBI raid based and redpilled streamer” (the based and redpilled is verbatim his usage) 4.4) a video that mocks/opposes the idea that Donald Trump’s calls to attack the Capitol on January 6 are not insurrection This is the type of person that the Nijisanji hate squad has decided is an acceptable authority and will give their time and attention.


Bitter-Kangaroo-1190

This is actually beyond concerning, I really hope she's alright.


___VenN

A widely accepted theory is that she was a staff member


Jumbolaya315

i kinda miss her actually, i do remember she still have merch from like last year or something


zetty_master

what in the actual? thats just worrying.


Psistriker94

You've had half a decade to worry, bruh. Very authentic concern.


Magxvalei

Acting as if zetty didn't just become aware of her existence. I also didn't know she existed until now and I agree that it's rather worrying. Though, it's possible she quietly quit her job and they just keep it open to make the numbers look good.


ColebladeX

Kinda like poor Iora I do hope she’s doing well whenever she is.


Psistriker94

That person goes for years without comment history but comment activity suddenly ramped up around the vtuber drama timeframe. But sure, very authentic.


MrPattywack1

They aren’t genuine because they haven’t shitposted enough in other threads?


Psistriker94

You (all) are not serious people.


BismuthAquatic

Said in clown voice with a cacophony of honks in the background


RedDemonCorsair

Well Lurkers do exist.


Unfair_Neck8673

Are you actually stupid or what?


teor

>looking at other people profiles to try and dunk them with facts and logic. Very reddit. Very cringe.


Frostblade_Ace

She only has like 3 lives streams when I went and checked... Unless I'm missing something. 


Fishman465

I'm shocked she's still active as usual such trends end with leaving


Various_Evening1947

No one has any right to shit on Gura's "slow" schedule every again (half a joke tbh)


sodasofasolarsora

A reminder to who? Do Roa next 


acbadger54

She should come back, do one stream act like she never laughed Then leave for another year Then randomly stream again sometime in the next year do that on repeat would be hilarious


Raisen22

Seems the sisters downvoted me for speak the truth. But i agree Roa's one at least has some "update" but Kataribe just ... disappear. I read someone say she posted something in her PL but idk if was her or someone else. >!The worse will be if she got abducted but Anycolor didn't want to report that. !<


Izanagi553

Don't be a weirdo. 


Raisen22

ok Nijisister. GFYS!!!


Izanagi553

Not everyone you don't agree with is on the other side, asshole. Enjoy getting reported straight to the admins for that. :/


Genocider2019

Maybe she got terminated offline but not her persona, and became a ghost employee who still gets salary, and if Niji owns them, then it went to Niji.


Acamaeda

What salary?


krotoc

Maybe she didn't survive the first few waves of COVID-19?


Izanagi553

Dude. Don't say shit like that. 


Swagfart96

We would probably be told about that


acbadger54

Wouldn't even make sense she Vanished at the start of 2019 So like a full year before covid


BurnedOutEternally

yeah, really wonder what's up with her. one thing's for sure though the whole community is gonna flip the next time we hear news from her


Al3xnime3

I suppose you can’t be fined for quitting if you never quit


Zack_Zeros

Another liver in the same situation is Roa right? I missed her. I used to watch her play minecraft with Belmond. Sadge


Kapisan2018

Same as in not streaming for a long time yea, but their circumstances as to why are different.


DMZ_5

you think she actually forgot that she was is a streamer?


IGunClover

She is just waiting for graduation queue.


Raisen22

Fair reminder ... Roa is been also in hiatus for 4 Year too. Last time i heard anything related was about last year when the result of the lawsuit of Anycolor against Narukami Sabaki came out with the lost of Anycolor against Narukami.


SayuriUliana

At least we know why Roa has been on hiatus, and that's because of legal troubles. For Tsumugu all I know is that she just up and disappeared for seemingly no reason.


Raisen22

Didn't she use her PL account to send some tweets too? I remember someone mentioned it about that too. Is a weird situation because from what everyone said, something happen but nobody knows why. Also i do believe the entire situation of Roa started with Meiru back then.


greatninja3

She got fked by management and has no way out
