Laplus seriously panics at Kanata's "I Have a Girlfriend" Prank [ENG Subbed Hololive]

[@BrokenAmoeba]

Amane "i'm not a lesbian" Kanata

[@BrokenAmoeba]

also its so cute that Laplus tried to save it by following along

[@NotKaiii]

Mom please, I'm a not gay I swear -Kanata

[@perotekku]

"Haha, it's just a joke! Doesn't everybody joke about having a same sex partner?" Never change, PP Tenshi

[@Archedgar]

Definite Not YuriTenshi.

[@astranix0198]

Would it be considered homosexual if you eventually fall for a person of the same gender due to how close you are? If you are loving that person because of who they are, regardless of gender?

[@Darkness_Abyss]

When you got like 10thousand people backing your prank, even the world will believe it.

[@isthatbraised]

I bet some unaware JP or EN fan was ready to cancel the shit out of her. Bet someone posted something on 4chan or 2chan before it was revealed as a prank. They get pretty toxic about a vtuber/idol getting a oartner

[@YubiYubi_]

@@isthatbraised You don't live your life dodging haters, you live with it. it sucks but nothing you can do when you become big. Im glad holomem dont shy away from content like these.

[@bobpotato1231]

@@isthatbraised Even as far as crazy idol fanatics go I don't think anyone would care if the talent had a girlfriend. It's a boyfriend that would cause the stink.

[@doterin7539]

@@bobpotato1231 Idk why but I have that mindset too. I dont mind if they have a partner irl, but if it’s a girl I’ll find it double the treat, meanwhile if it’s a boy it make me feel uneasy.

[@cloudsteele1989]

@@doterin7539 You should try and find out why then, so you can change it. It seems unhealthy and perverted to have that kind of mindset about someone you've never even had a real conversation with.

[@HakunonMatata]

Kanata: I have a girlfriend Laplus: haha not while i'm eating! Kanata: So anyway i'm going out with this girl-- Laplus: Oh shit she's serious.

[@maspoccburt6793]

she was too focus on her snack she needed some time before processing what kanata just said

[@SilverScizor753]

La+'s reaction to this was perfect. The instant support, reading the chat, the instant panic, she went in for the save by pretending to be the girlfriend, very successful prank. Thanks for the subs!

[@malickmeziani_FreePalestine]

I love how despite her "Chuni Kusogaki" vibe, Laplus is a very sweet and kind girl. All the Hololive members gives me back the faith in humanity is thought I lost on Twitter.

[@thanhnguyennguyen9235]

@@malickmeziani_FreePalestine Yeah, based on what others said about Laplus (Miko iirc) and sometimes when she's off the track on stream, she looks like a really kind person outside the kusogaki act.

[@ultimateweeabootrash]

I feel the fact that both Aqua and Laplus bought into this prank so much says something about Amane "Not a Lesbian" Kanata.

[@Acorn_Anomaly]

I mean, Aqua was just playing along with the joke. Laplus (seemingly) actually believed it.

[@Grandgoomba25]

Don't forget that Coco believed it too.

[@Carlos-ne3zf]

"Guys I'm not gay I swear it was just a prank" Sure Kanata, sure

[@Kronos3900]

Laplus is way to kind. She immediately tried to cover for kanata cause she thought kanata slipped up. Way too kind!

Well, Towa is her oshi, after all, and everyone knows that Towa Maji Daitenshi. She’s just trying to be like her oshi!

2:30 "Really? In front of my salad?"

[@Shawn-sensei]

Lmao this is not the comment I expected to see but it's perfect

[@Raidanzoup]

Laplus really spun her horns on that "obviously you were talking about me, I'm the girlfriend (phew, that'll throw them off the trail)"

[@Cielzerozx004]

When the Angel is more devilish than your average Devil.

[@RykenInverse]

To be fair, that Devil is Maji Tenshi

[@redace4821]

As shown here, she even more evil than the Darkness herself

[@notadrawer7261]

I've seen a gorrila beat the shit out of a giant dinosaur and a giant pickle with teeth. I've even seen a GORILLA SHOOT LASERS out of it's mouth. But this prank? This just normal now.

[@RykenInverse]

@@notadrawer7261 That's the Kanata subspecies

[@Kuromueina.]

Average devil? What are you talking about? Laplus is demon lord herself

[@TheExecutorr]

1:58 I never knew how much I needed Kanata doing a C-chan impression in my life. It's like the old days

[@retnemmoc101]

Last time she pulled this on Coco with Aqua as the GF, would be funny if she pranked someone else next time with Lap+.

[@ryugaknight]

It’s cute that even after all this time Kanata still calls Coco her best friend.

[@fortissears5388]

They're friends outside streaming, aren't they?

[@yourvenparianen5390]

"I had no choice but become the girlfriend" *i see this as an absolute win*

[@Lemon_Inspector]

"By the way, I have a girlfriend... Haha, tricked you! She's actually my wife!" What kind of prank is that, seriously.

[@Mikado310]

I hope a welcome banana becomes a regular gift Kanata gives to people she invites over now

[@gachatookthekids]

La+ picks up a lot of her oshi's traits. Describes themselves as devilish and intimidating, but comes off as some of the most lovable angels in holo

[@perotekku]

La+ was probably just hoping Kanata's girlfriend wasn't Towa.

[@HydrengeaEdelweiss]

La+ tried so hard to help cover it up lol. Great prank! Would be talk about in Asacoco!

[@purebaldness]

*THAT'S BLASPHEMY TO GORILAS*

[@mnnwdr]

now kanata can freely have relationship with c chan and encounter any questions about her relationship with "it just a joke" 😂

[@jjrambles683]

They were already using this tactic with the paired rings lmao

[@Archedgar]

Oh no, what would happen if the fans knew about Coco & Kanatan ?! it would be almost as disastrous as them finding out Senchou isn't actually 17 years old............... don't be absurd man.

[@Vanessa_exe]

i think at this point fans want the lesbian ships to sail

See this is how you prank someone. It’s serious enough to be funny, but not to the point where someone could actually get hurt

[@saber_xyt]

Laplus panics so fast xD i love her and so our cute angel kanata too!:')

[@someoneelse4939]

The mere implication of her presence is enough to spread panic, sasuga Doragon. XD

[@handlesarecringe957]

:^)

[@Bob.Roberts]

Kanata's impression of "Friend C" was pretty funny. 'C' has an iconic voice that is instantly recognizable; I wasn't even looking at the screen and realized who she was talking about, lol.

[@Ozai75]

The fact that Lap+ was like "Do I know her?" And was totally fine with her being a girl is awesome

[@tonyflamingo3444]

I like how you can basically see the exact instance Laplus went into "Oh Shit" mode and immediately had to step in to desperately save the situation

[@SinginintheRain-r2y]

I took part in it as a surprised English comment.

[@carlontesvito]

I really adore the dynamic between these two

[@NinoChapter]

I'm seriously in tears. Kanatan's laughter is so contagious! ~

[@Fiz.]

I watched this stream without knowing Kanata's previous stream. So I dunno about these pranks. And I was shocked too when Kanata tells about her girlfriend. She's so good at acting and building up the mood. And also, our sousui is so kind. She's trying her best to cover for Kanata's sake.

[@bhull242]

La+ Maji Tenshi

[@JSLing-vv5go]

That was a really good prank. It had multiple misdirections. The first pranks were gentle and childish, so she was not expecting something more robust! Genius!

[@50mt]

I feel like I know of a certain delinquent that Laplus might get along quite well with, if she needs lessons...

[@ultimateweeabootrash]

Considering that it's really only a matter of time now before she collabs with Haachama, that interaction may very well happen one day.

[@yagooatthegoat]

Pjk's girlfriend? 👀

[@JazzLafayette]

Laplus, upon finding out it was a prank thirty-seven years into a sham marriage: "I had no choice but to become the girlfriend."

[@borkborkie5471]

honestly big ups for Laplus for playing along with tryna cover her just incase lol

[@MACHEW_WingDestiny]

When Kanata said she had Yuujin C as her girlfriend I'm like, "Too bad. Even if it's a prank to you, it doesn't mean it's a prank to me. So.. uhm. Who really controls reality here? " - Mumei

[@cas9564]

She played Laplus like a damn fiddle and Laplus just kept being a fiddle

Nah coco is basically a long time wife with gorilla now

[@aabababbbabbaabba7347]

Dang laplus dodged that and helped kanata not to spread rumors she's a great friend!

[@yuuki_konkon3229]

When the angel is more devilish and the demon is more angelic xDDD I really like how chat was very cooperative too, really great prank!😂

[@bhull242]

I mean, this is Hololive. Devils and demons are angels; angels are gorillas; orcas get bullied; sharks can’t swim; tomboys are ducks; humans have tentacles and flaps; maids can’t cook or clean; reapers are dorky dads; vampires hate blood; zombies are incredibly lively; a baby princess can sometimes be the sensible one in the room and is an experienced programmer in multiple coding languages, including one of the oldest and most outdated ones; rabbits are war criminals; seemingly seiso idols can be psychopaths; a proud lolicon is their seiso representative; mikos are perverts; the wolf loves cats; they have a secret society that everyone knows about; the perfectionist guardian of time has a terrible sleep schedule and is often insecure; the guardian of nature is an arson; the guardian of chaos is one of the least chaotic members of Hololive; one of the most PON members is a high-spec robot; one of the most established and teetee couples consists of a cat and a dog; and so on. Hololive is practically irony, subverted expectations, and gap moe personified.

[@CSLucasEpic]

All in all, what this showed us is how much Laplus is willing to do to help a fellow Holomem when she senses they need said help. Laplus is amazingly nice and supportive, and when faced with antis she simply doesn't even acknowledge their existence, taking from them the one thing they crave the most, her attention.

[@hazelnut1294]

The history repeat itself

[@MaskofFayt]

The best way to prank someone is to let them think they know about the prank, but the prank is a guise for a much deeper prank. For further study Kanata's example A [power point slide transition effect]

[@lostbuckie5325]

this clip lives in my head rent free, i love how laplus covered it up for her, such a nice kouhai www

[@redrage9283]

It'a been a while seing Kanata prank, still awesome as always

[@szysi3k]

Yeah, "prank". On another note I'm amused as always at Kanata's impersonation of friend-C.

[@Colopty]

Laplus is a delinquent the same way Towa is a devil. She did a nice last second attempt at a cover-up though.

So sweet how laplus got legit worried and tried to help cover for her

[@theoriginalshew]

Her Coco voice is really good

[@kinoleogeo7998]

Kanaka should had doubled down and just said “Yeah, so any way me and C-Chan got mad wasted one night and we totally confessed…” Imagine Laplus sweating, thinking, “oh crap, senpai is totally getting in trouble.”

[@Medium-2367]

Kanata’s Coco impression was hilarious

[@saucy4817]

Frankly you can’t convince me they aren’t a couple at this point lmao

[@Archedgar]

I know what you mean, me either. There are some dipshits that try to pretend everyone is a gay man or a lesbian, but this isn't one of those cases. The evidence of them being a couple or at least being basically in an open relationship with Coco fooling around on the side a lot, has been stacking up for years. It's pretty much impossible to seriously deny.

[@kenpui]

This reminds me of the time she pretended aqua was her girlfriend, great times

[@mnnwdr]

Oh man u made me unlock a memory. Iirc this was way back 2006 when the theme was "Police". I can't believe that was more than 15 years old already.

[@nikik5567]

I do find it interesting how quickly La+ took credit for being Kanata’s “girlfriend” to cover for her when she thought kanata hadn’t actually meant to say it.
