Shu Yamino is a Nerd

Shu Yamino, the sorcerer from NijisanjiEN’s Luxiem, has had the running joke of being called a nerd with subsequent nerd emoji spam in his chat. But why? Watch and find out.
editor’s note: Back at it again with the royal treatment of a documentary / story / whatever you call this style to ya boi Shu Yamino eyyyyy. You know the drill - present the meme, explain the meme, its origins, how it applies to the vtuber and shows their personality, and then end it with a wholesome moment to tie the knot on the whole gift. I probably could’ve completed this a month ago, but I didn’t have much free time to devote so, at least better late than never.
Nijisanji (aka 2434) is a group of mostly 2D-only virtual youtubers (“Vtubers”, or “Virtual Livers” for general streaming purposes) managed by ANYCOLOR Incorporations. Its English branch, NijisanjiEN, currently consists of five waves: LazuLight, Obsydia, Ethyria, Luxiem, and Noctyx.
Lazulight consists of Elira, Pomu, and Finana - a solar sky dragon, a forest fairy, and a tropical mermaid respectively.
Obsydia consists of Selen, Rosemi, and Petra - a lunar sky dragon, a rose maiden, and a frost penguin.
Ethyria, consists of Nina, Millie, Enna, and Reimu - a nine tailed fox, a witch (cat?), an angel (bird?), and a ghost.
Luxiem, consists of Vox, Mysta, Ike, Luca, and Shu - a voice demon, detective, novelist, mafia boss, and a sorcerer.
Noctyx, the latest male wave, consists of Fulgur, Sonny, Yugo, Alban, and Uki - a cyborg, officer, DJ, phantom thief, and a psychic.
Terminology:
-“Y’all” is an American contraction between “You” and “all”, meaning essentially “all of you.”
-STEM is education focused on Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math.

[@jpachu16]

The evolution of shu’s chat is so funny lol. Going from bullying then down bad for the nerd talk hahaha

[@nimeowmamama9475]

It's the classic romance trope. First the bullying then the falling in love for their nerdy stuff.

[@brian_Austin27]

He's such a cute nerd

[@Howaboutyes11]

bruh

[@lyssao.8308]

WAIT ITS NOT NORMAL TO FIND CODING HOT?......EVEN AS AN OCCASIONAL FAN I- - SEE, your point...now...

[@daralingmae]

I was in Shu's stream on the latest VR chat collab and he always read the instructions while everyone was just running around and winging it. SHU YAMINERD is adorable

[@angeljin5770]

^^^^ That's one of the reasons why I always try to watch his POV of collabs because he takes the time to show the instructions and like explain/think through it a bit while still having great fun and commentary. He is so genuinely considerate, and humble ;n;

[@simp4507]

Where does he stream? I’ve been trying to figure it out for hours😭

[@midgetmcshorty]

@@simp4507 he streams on yt

[@witch6993]

@@simp4507 wdym? On his channel ofc. Search Shu Yamino and there should be a schedule on his community tab. He streams almost every day.

[@Mm0nm0n]

@@simp4507 maybe you were searching on twitch or sth cause that was my mistake when I first started watching the Luxiem memebers. As far as I know only Mysta occasionally streams on twitch the others are on KZbin and his name here is shu yamino

Shu is definitely my luxiem spirit animal. He’s just so easy going and seems so genuinely happy about being a massive nerd in a community filled with nerds (even if he tries to hide it).

[@selayarlaut2746]

This clip made me realize there's lack of nerd in vtuber industry, despite there's a lot of overlap between weebs and nerds

[@theoverlordbear]

Well, VTubing is more about entertainment, and if a VTuber wants to nerd out, they gotta make it entertaining. Shu's doing a pretty good job there, if you ask me, especially with how chill he is. :D

[@dcardigan13]

It's true! It's so true!

[@peridot507]

It's fine mysta is here

[@TipoIrritable]

Nerd ≠ Intelligent.

[@yhusandia]

is that true (?) naoo i like nerdy things :(

[@Kimri]

I'll never get tired of your short documentaries like this. Poor Shu, he got bullied so hard -like a nerd- by everyone. No worries, i still love the smart, nerdy and sweet boy that he is.

[@ncp9095]

“It’s just science!!” is the nerdiest answer I’ve ever heard lol

[@SAKA-xf3wu]

We were the true clowns all along, thinking we really got him by teasing his nerd moments, only to end up being down bad whenever he has them.

[@nonin2857]

but all jokes aside, i hope he recognizes how endearing it is to all of us. we poke fun at him because we're impressed 😋😋

[@tarutaru0208]

i love that initially he was bullied (affectionate) by chat for being a nerd but now everytime he just mentions coding or sumn the sweat emojis start coming lmao. i love shu and yaminions so much

[@ssjsimp1004]

5:04 THAT WAS HIS TRAIN OF THOUGHTS?!!! How abrupt it started, and how he said it. I thought he was reading off the game dialogue.

[@elliesart_]

ME TOO I HAD TO REPLAY!

[@-Raylight]

*"I-I'm not a nerd!"* Sounds like exactly what a nerd would say. Nerd Shu is too adorable🤓🤓 Even the senpai and Ike joined to bully him. All because the Undertale cat(?) guy xD At this point, he has completed 5 stages of griefs and accepted this 😂 Awww the ending so wholesome, congrats for reaching your long term goal Shu!!

[@8koi245]

as a fellow closet nerd, this hurts me psychically "Okay that was nerdy, but you don't have to be so loud" Lmfao

[@milkyhoney2140]

Honestly, I don't really like his design at first but after i give a shot to watch his stream, he's such an easygoing and fun person that I began to like him more.

Man, the end really made me just cry tears of happiness for Shu. He's so precious and such a good boy...I hope he can keep this success going because he deserves everything! Let's hope Shu and Luxiem stay with us for a nice long time! ❤️🧡💛💙💜

[@isaachester8475]

Shu is so wholesome and humble. He’s made it so far. I wish him nothing but the best 💜

[@Zircaa]

I loved this compilation LOL, plus the background context for these kinds of inside jokes is really nice. Thank you for putting so much effort into everything about this, even the subbing and timestamps and editing!

[@kaseylirious2612]

22 minutes of just Shu being an adorable nerd Thank you for this treasure

[@LupaLazuli]

This whole video gave me so much joy, perfection

[@iamnotaclipschannel1824]

My heart, too, goes down bad for Shu when he starts spouting smart stuff, and I'm not entirely sure why. 🥵

[@nielle_]

aw man that speech at the end made me tear up wtf :(( im so happy for shu. he deserves all the love he's receiving and more 💜

[@Cinnaray]

Okay… is there something that Shu CAN’T do!? He’s like a protagonist already….

[@macaronifunk3618]

it's such a great compilation that involves all the consequences and effects that fits so much it shows how precious this adorable nerd is and the last part, shows how he treasures us thank you for the clip

[@chocomiruku7464]

Shu is really precious 💜 i like him so much, thank you for making this!

[@torikorino]

Now this is a great clip for any new viewer to catch-up with shu. Origins of inside jokes and all, and showcase the charm of shu himself. Nice work! Hoping there's a lot of this kind of clip.

[@flashtirade]

He's totally right about the math stuff, all the cool things you can do with it are fun to look at but painful to do by hand.

[@dazzlingapril]

When i first encountered luxiem, i thought i would never like shu bc of how flashy his character design. As time goes, i saw him in collab streams and finally I'm in the stage of down bad atrocious now. Like suddenly he's on the top list.

Shu moments clips are always my favourite. 💜

[@ux8sind]

i love that he imagined 150k people as a grid of 150 people stacked 1000 times instead of imagining 15 stadiums that can fit 10000 people all jokes aside hes hella smart

As always, your thematic compilations are amazing. Dw, Shu, your chat may bulli u but they really love your yaminerd moments.

[@cyuteking6872]

I'm already laughing my head off for the dishwasher nerd part. And I literally scream for excitement when I know Shu coded before, especially I write with some of the coding languages Shu mentioned. It's a surprise to know that I share the some of the same experience with the VTuber I like. It's a different joy from learning new things from VTuber who has experience I don't have yet eager to learn. 感謝精華剪輯，迷上Shu了！
