That all depends on whether or not Sayu Sincronisity either: a. had enough time to develop any meaningful relationship with them in that agency, b. alienated them through her antics during that brief time in that agency, or c. Sayu (or all depicted) wants to keep their distance, whether on their own initiative or maybe part of the severance terms from that agency.
By your logic debating the lore and powers of any movie character is meaningless because none of it applies to the actor.
Not really. Difference is Vtubers never really make use of their powers and their informed powers aren't really relevant to who they are or what they do. Holopromise can be the literal embodiment of time, space, nature, civilization, whatever, but it doesn't mean they're gonna play any games or sing differently than someone like Miko or Aqua, who lore wise are just normal human beings. Their lore is largely irrelevant since most of the time, you're not gonna see COVER do anything with it. It's different than characters like superheroes whose powers are baked into their identities and how they actually interact with the world.
But for all it's worth, I think powerscaling, be it of Vtubers, superheroes or whatever, are okay as long as everyone agrees it's meant to be taken in good fun and not too seriously. Problem is it all too often devolves into "my character can beat your character therefore they're just better written" which is indeed the 30-40 years old's version of "my dad can beat your dad" argument. Doubly so when characters' power levels in canon are inconsistent as hell, but people will throw around numbers as if every writers strictly abide by those calculations in their stories when they clearly do not so trying to be sweaty about it is just stupid.
this is literally meaningless because they don't actually have these powers.
No fucking shit the people behind the characters aren't actually the characters. People aren't discussing the streamers but their characters. By your logic debating the lore and powers of any movie character is meaningless because none of it applies to the actor.
You people feel even a slightest bit ridiculous discussing "lore" and "superpowers" of vtubers? This is akin to a bunch of children playing pretend in the playground, except these children are 30-40 years old. They are told to put on this show by the Hololive marketing department. Instead of just being normal streamers with Live2D avatars, they are more akin to actors in a sitcom. And it's not like they are a part of some narrative, like a manga, game, etc., this is literally meaningless because they don't actually have these powers.
Imagine fighting an army of these. Replikas can already survive and mostly brush off being ripped open, but Falke units specifically can distort reality with bioresonance and apparently survive being impaled through the face. Fighting her in her prime rather than dying of cancer would have gone very differently.
