You know how in sports movies the coach has no one else to sub in except the kid he's underestimated the whole season? And then when he puts them in they pull off the game winning score and all the coach had to do was have faith in them? This is that moment for Yagoo, I imagine.

[@hashichan6995]

you underestimate the hololive community

[@esense9602]

Nodoka is the tactical idol incase of apocalyptic fallout.

[@MadCapybaraRX]

​​​​​@@esense9602 I made up a lore just now in which Yagoo keeps Nodoka busy with backstage duties and away from the yabai-ness of the livers despite she being talented and her charisma. That is because Nodoka is the model reference of Yagoo's dream idol so Yagoo never forgets his dreams despite all the yabai-ness and comedy of the Holomembers continuously shattering said dreams.

[@shadowknight9345]

This is the secret character. You have to go through a lot of obscure side quests to unlock her.

The devs try to camouflage her as a friendly, helpful NPC. Fortunately, you can easily find walkthrough in the internet for those obscure side quests.
