I have to disagree when you said he has the weakest mentally, he was so down to earth and he knew what he wanted and his how far his capabilities could take him. He was so outspoken and upfront about everything and when he was slapped in the face about the AR, the parasocial fans fucking his friends up, him getting stalked and his mom getting calls from strangers he said as much and complain about it without actually crumling. There’s always a point of how much you can take.

@@Xochi_Mictlan6969 I don't think they can create a channel or something, and use their past as a vtuber to get fame.

​@@jeffnewlin6920 While it's true that mentioning your identity as a graduated vtuber is a breach of contract, said identity can still boost you if you decided to go back to streaming/content creation.

[@littleyamini]

Mysta’s graduation will be a catalyst for many more NijiEN graduations because of how relatable his reasons are. He is a strong one for pushing through with giving up his vtubing life to have his peace and that can give the others the push they needed to do the same to have theirs.

[@brian_Austin27]

I think it was Nina's really they were all broken krisis just got in so they didn't know her very well but thwy seem a bit upset about it to mysta leaving will just be the domino effect of after shock and nina said that she told mysta that she was leaving before ethyria probably not to upset them( millie reimou and enna was upset/angry because they felt like they could taken on the world with their outfit update) Ethyria has the best personality out of all the groups but is the most underutilized, almost left alone by the comapny until people startedd liking them and most people saw it because lazulight got stuff then everyone else and ehtyria came right after lazulight and mysta already wanted to leave both felt burnt out and u can see it in their content

[@shinryouzen]

@@brian_Austin27Mysta’s graduation he said was already decided 5-8 months ago and Nina’s decision was more recent than his which is probably why Nina told Mysta about it. So for the past few months, many of the Niji EN livers already knew about Mysta graduating. He was just waiting for the rest of his content/merch/etc to roll out.

[@Sachicodao]

As someone who's watched Mysta a decent amount I've gotta disagree about Mysta being emotionally/mentally vulnerable. Man has a lot of emotional intelligence, he just might have seemed vulnerable because he always talked about his feelings without much filter. He was the one to set his boundaries the best out of Luxiem when they blew up (or, well, the fastest out of the more sussy members) and many times after. The fact that he was still a streamer entertaining enough to keep his numbers and engagement despite being burnt out for half a year, even when he constatly talked about how he's not motivated anymore, is because of that honesty. I'm not sure about other fans but Mysta has never stopped being a comfort streamer, or made me feel concerned for his mental health in a way that I thought "ah, he's not handling himself well', which is something that makes me avoid some streamers here and there. This graduation also feels like a very conscious and healthy decision on his part, and shows that he knows what he wants and isn't afraid to make a big decision like this. While it's a tragedy in many points of view, paradoxically as a Mysta fan, I feel like it's a very valuable and inspiring event to have happened... I think it's an admirable thing to be able to stop when you've had enough, before it becomes too much.

[@NicoDoesLP]

Yeah I have never thought that he doesn't have his stuff together. He's moving on, and his way is his way. I hope I can catch him on the flip side if he decides he wants to do that, but if not, I wish him all the love and the best of luck.

[@Pfish1000]

I think you are thinking of him being emotionally vulnerable as him being emotionally exploitable or weak. A part of being emotionally open, is being emotionally vulnerable. He doesn't walk off his emotions where they are protected and nobody can get to/see them.

Well said. As a fellow mystake I agree, it's a bittersweet feeling.

I'm at a point where, messed up as it sounds, I'm actively hoping that my favorite NijiEN talents graduate. Even if just a half of the things that surfaced about the company over the past half a year are true, that'd already be more than enough for me to say that they deserve better, be it within or outside the context of streaming. Luckily time has proven that a big corpo graduate can absolutely return and not lose their core fanbase. I hope we'll get to see Mysta again in a different form, but even if not, I'm just glad he's leaving that cesspool behind him.

They're all better off somewhere else. Nijisanji has been on a different mode since they went public in stocks. Their talents well being is secondary to increasing profit for shareholders now, especially if they aren't part of JP.

[@vencelfoldi8236]

@@RaisonLychi Yeaaah. With Hololive, they have their fair share of skeletons in the closet, but I feel inclined to believe that they do everything in their power to avoid throwing their talents under the bus, or at the very least learn all the lessons when they choose to do so. Nijisanji, the EN branch at least, just comes off as the vtubing equivalent of the type of company we all know where if you have a problem your boss tells you "if you don't like it the door is open, hundreds are waiting outside who could and would do your job". Which kinda leads to their downfall, since contrary to what people expected when vtubing first took off, the majority of fans are ultimately far more loyal to the talents than to their franchise, unlike in the actual idol industry.

[@Bam_Bizzler]

​@@RaisonLychiwho could have guessed public stocks were a terrible idea

[@Evillious_Oracle]

I...have this itching feeling that Mysta Rias may just be the talent's (the actual person behind the VTuber) last VTuber incarnation. I would like to hope not, but just judging from the words he said in his announcement stream it just seems like the case... He may well just end up pursuing a different career path after he graduates, I wouldn't be surprised if he did. He has mentioned before (I think on a Minecraft stream..?) that if he were to have a different job asides being a VTuber, he'd be a social media manager. And I can definitely see him using his experiences in NijiEN as a guide and lesson on what to and not to do. Regardless of it all, I sincerely wish him the best in his future endeavors.

[@greed-1914]

Yeah, the way he put it was different from Nina. She sounded like she still enjoys it, but felt too restricted by being in the company. Mysta sounded more like he was plain done.

[@a.d.--.]

I agree, it sounded like he was done with vtubing. He has said he likes to entertain but I think he wants to do it in another way, a complete different kind of content. Also, Mysta said streaming was his dream job so I believe very much that he is gonna be a streamer, an irl one maybe which works fine for me. Or he could found a way where he puts out content but can also maintain his privacy to the max and that would be perfect (hes doing what he enjoys and he avoids all the parasocial shit)!! There is this existing probability that hes gonna be around and Imma be on the look out!

[@ajyechani3399]

I like how Mysta made the metaphor of a candle during his Announcement, and it made sense for me. Everyone of them are a candle, and the light of the candle defines the effort they give, the stress they face, and more... and since Mysta keeps lighting and lighting his own candle, recieving more stress, plus his existing troubles before even lighting his candle, eventually, the candle with melt itself out and die. I think I'll view it as... Mysta's candle is already cracked and small before he light it(which indicates that he joined the company), and since he grow brighter and brighter, he melts more faster. Now, he reached his end, a month worth of light till he's gone. I'll always cherish the memories.

[@roxrequiem2935]

Watching these talents graduate one after another really got me jaded and afraid of getting attached to these characters. Every Oshi I had graduated in a big f*ckin bang some tragic some not.

No more asacoco to feed my addiction, no more bread to fill my hunger, no more genshit gremlin to tell me about the shota meta, or alcoholic boomer mom trying to control her chaotic children.

The fact that mystas personality and the way he was so honest about stuff got all of us so interested in him and so attached is crazy i hate how time went by so fast and how i got so attached to his character. its scares me as i havent even cried like this EVER over a content creator. its probably because with vtubers we never know how their really doing or if their ever going to actually return in any form and its scares me because of this feeling As if its sm1s actual funeral. its makes me now scraed of ever loosing anyone in my life suddenly like this i cant imagine it. his graduation really opened up my thought and i hope the best for mysta in life and for the people around him (this took me 10 whole minutes to write because i started crying again lol...) edit: And ik since yugo returned as an indie vtuber, some of us deep down might have this false hope that they might even return as indie vtubers but if your a mysta fan and know how he is, most of us know that he likely wont even return for the safety for him and his mother. we all know how close he is to his mom and how random strangers calling up his mom was probably where it hit him that he should stop or leave the company that clearly cant manage properly. and since he's reached his goal of 1M there was nothing stopping him from leaving since he was thinking about it for a long time and he was slowly losing interest we all know it deep down without actually thinking about it thats why its harder to take in wether he returns or not its a small possibility but we know its not gonna be anytinme soon at all... edit: FORGET ALL OF THAT HES BACKKKKKKKKKKKKK ALL HAIL KURO 🙏🙏🙏

[@billybased64]

For me, what was the initial catalyst of yabs and bad news was when their discord convos were leaked. Kind of pulled back the veil and made Fulgur and Vox look like tools. Mysta was talking about really personal stuff. And alot of talents had their own individual yabs. Finana had her lil drama when she censored some words in her chat. Yugo was just the first casualty and proof that they expanded too fast after Luxiem when five out of the last six waves have had a termination or graduation. EN Management must have been overwhelmed with how many waves they put out so quickly. And then things got really parasocial when the boys came into town. Mysta seems like the most mentally sound seeing as how he doesn't want to cater to his most toxic fans anymore. I'm sure he got tired of being the Nijis court jester. That shit with Reimu and Vox really turned me off of him in general.

[@oomay1925]

Not denying that the conditions of Nijisanji needs a lot of improvement, but I think the BIGGEST reason Mysta is leaving is because of all the wrong attention he got while being a Niji liver. Obssessive fans, and dedicated haters. He and even his family were stalked, doxxed, and harrassed often. I think when he said that it's the "people that make Nijisanji, not the company" along those lines, he was trying to remind viewers that the people behind the livers are still people. I think he felt like he wasn't being treated as a person anymore that pushed his mental to no longer want to be in the company. If you pay attention to the things he's been saying around the graduation, then it's obvious the main reason he's leaving is because of the unattractive part of the community and people you attract being a big corpo vtuber. I think Vox also pretty much confirmed this recently when he talked about Mysta's decision. There's also a fan who got to interact with Mysta in game (a recent collab with Luca) that mentioned after stream ended, Mysta stayed for a while to thank everyone for their support and also mentioned "please don't forget we're also people"- this was a day before he announced his graduation.

Mysta was one of the first vtubers I was interested in. I quickly drifted once I found my oshis but I have been following him either way. I’m sad to see him go but to be honest I expected him to leave like a year ago. I’m really glad he’s been able to make a decision that’s right for him

[@marikuborlado]

1:10 he really did. Actually Vox said that Mysta taught him a lot about vtubing and he looks up to him. I will say that he isn't mentally weak. If you watch his Zatsu he had High EQ and the fact that he is leaving is the proof of it. He is always straight forward and always pushing the limit.

Im wondering what deals were being made around AR live in order for the cancelation to take such a big toll on everyone

[@altair5072]

i believe it hurt everyone because of how much hard work and effort they were putting into it. each and every one of the talents was working their asses off to make sure AR live was a success. for it to be cancelled for such a bullshit, coverup reason would be enough to burn anyone out.

[@BlaZay]

It's probably got to do with the efforts leading up to the event and that got wasted because of cOvId. We can never truly know how much they prepare in advance for those, but I sure as hell would've been just as salty if months of offline work got discarded because of that.

[@sweetmeloday5935]

​@@holographicwing They were doing rehearsals and flew to Japan just for it. 5 waves of EN were preparing for it, and it was probably quite a hassle to go through. I''m not particularly sure of the procedure they went throught though. They might have planned on creating a live stream or just probably a recording of their performance. And if it was a recording, and they were halfway through the practice and suddenly thought "nah we will scrap it" after you came back home to your own country then bruh. If it was the live stream, and they already have made progress on the practice then the event was stopped then what was exactly the purpose of flying to Japan? It probs felt like a waste of time and efforts being thrown into the trash kind of thing. And if Mysta said his been having talks with his friends about graduating 8 months ago, and knowing so that Nina would have planned as well. They would have probably wanted for all of them to be together to do the AR Live. These are just baseless speculations, take it with a grain of salt. From what I remember, the AR live was supposedly the 5 waves, Lazulight althrough Noctyx, were getting their 3Ds all together in 1 live.

When i stopped calling him my oshi a week later his graduation was announced and i cant help but feel bad like i dont enjoy his streams anymore but i never lost my respect for him as a person especially knowing all his dreams and expectations about being in a big vtuber corporation were crushed. I just hope him and his family enjoys the rest if their lives that would bring me more joy than seeing him locked up in nijisanji

[@altair5072]

this is a really hard thing to deal with. I want to see nijisanji succeed, i truly do. but the fact is the company is doing nothing to change. if you follow both EN and JP you can see just how differently the two branches are treated even within the company. it feels like nowadays the EN talents have to fight so hard to do literally anything. they're all so stressed out all the time over various things and it hurts to watch. I don't blame mysta for being sick of it. i didn't even really watch him and i could feel just how fed up he was with everything and it breaks my heart knowing there may be others inside who feel the same. I'm terrified to think about if my oshi is next. EN as a whole has not been able to recover fully since AR live, and things just keep getting worse and worse despite anyone's best efforts to boost morale (like pomu's massive cover project) i agree with you that mysta's graduation is monumentally fucking historic. Luxiem felt unshakeable to me, and to a lot of us. Untouchable. the fact that one of the biggest members of the biggest wave in EN is leaving will not go over smoothly. his reasons are incredibly valid and i support him completely for his decisions, but i really hope this sends a message to anycolor that they need to do better.

[@TheDarkestPhoenix]

I've always had an issue with Nijisanji, mainly because I disagree with their approach of shotgunning talents out and then not properly supporting them afterwards unless they magically hit it big. Not sure I could call that "tribalism" though. Seeing them collapse is cathartic, though I do feel for the talents.

You have to be delusional if you think they are collapsing. They have 178 members and making a ton of money. There's 0 chance of this happening

[@NagaManga]

This domino effect honestly makes me wonder when NijiEN’s management lost its mind. It must of been sometime late last year because I highly doubt the current management would’ve tardrangled Finana when the “educate yourself” crap happened. Makes me wonder if Xsoleil debuted earlier in NijiEN’s history then Zaion wouldn’t’ve been shitcanned. Pure speculation on my part, but I do wonder what staff changes were made that gave way to a management that would list a poorly done dark joke as a reason for termination.

[@Rar830]

Didn’t Gundou get kicked for making a baseball joke?

[@NagaManga]

@@Rar830 Yes but that was JP management, not EN. I guess one possibility is that EN management slowly became more independent as time went on and by the time of Xsoleil had stopped having JP management check in on them, allowing them to make their own rules. Could be talking out of my ass though, but I feel like one day we might find out.

[@NagaManga]

@@Rar830 Also keep in mind that both managements have their own biases and what is deemed to be appropriate. NijiJP couldn’t let the baseball joke slide due to sponsors and the online backlash. NijiEN wouldn’t let the r*pe joke slide due to being snowflakes, Twitter freaks, and in general NijiEN’s fanbase being more… ya know… filled with the kind of people that would seal clap and go “YASS KWEEN” when Finana decided to be an uptight lil’ activist.

People ASSUME it was Shu. I was in the believe between Selen, Mysta or Vox ... The fact it was Mysta wasn't a surprise as you said not only because he was very vocal about all the problems Niji has, but also he seems really done in some of the clips i snipe after the 2% stuff come out. Edit after the video: Also i agree about tribalism is not good. I only laugh at Niji imploding since Anycolor is doing almost nothing to look better, at all and expousing some of the true shit problems. HECK!!! you said firing Gundou was a good thing for Niji ... YET it expouse even more problems within the agency because they let Gundou does worse shit than Zaion was accuse to but they didn't care, but the moment a joke about Beisbol was made... BAM!!! out. And we won't forget Roa still in hiatus for more than 2 years at this point. I would also bring cases like the person behind Himemori Luna and her reasons to quit Niji or also the same for Chitose who was the reason why Aloe was attacked, because she spoke against Anycolor when she was still Delta at the time. AGAIN the company, not the talents, since most of them deserves better like Pomu or Selen ... also Nina by extension and we seen that already. HECK even Mysta i been thinking the same for a long time. Anything right now make Cover and Holo seem to be the much more viable option and a very VERY VERY good reason why they took a lot for time now to hire new people. If they go rough diamond route, then we know why. And you can also argue why when you also think in the resume most of them had before join (like Sana and Ina been prominent artists on their own merits, Calli as well but she is a skilled musician too ... and so on). I mean look at the focus they did between 2022 and now day. A year ago we had Sana leaving for her own reasons (since you cover that up once and said "why" in a very logical and reasonable way anyone could understand) and the Tempus boys join. YET! after that there wasn't any other than another batch for the Tempus boys at the begin of the year and now EN3, compared with the last year when we had ID3 , Uproar and Tempus. What Holo did that Niji didn't was to focus on what they had already + some new ones and not pump new people without the ways to handle it, who was the error Niji committed after debut Noctix believe or not. Plus make events focus around them like 2022 was a year for Holostars since a lot of events were around them. Now 2023 seems to focus more on international events instead and to make sure to NOW has a focus on both EN and ID over the 1st half of this year as i notice and even ID has half a dozen of events line up for August too. If anything, they seems to be capitalizing from yabs Anycolors are doing in the past 8 MONTHS (who coincide with how much Mysta's mind was already set for a long time to do this already). If anything, it became rare people try to quit Holo (*touch wood*), without a very specific reason like Sana or unless a true Yab happen with Rushia, mainly because they are more than comfortable with everything they put on now.

[@joshuaperez1999]

[@LtShadowKitsune]

I got the impression that some of Mysta's issue goes deeper than Anycolor having garbage management. I mean, the management being bad really doesn't help, but it sounds like some of his issues are things that I'm not even sure good agencies could prevent. Dude sounds like he is done with vtubing and streamer and that is going to be a shame if true, given that he has talent. Hopefully, his next endeavor will be something that he find fulfilling and doesn't do a number on his emotional health. Going to disagree with the Gura and Vesper & Magni thing. I'm not sure there was a better way to handle things with Gura. Fans need to remember that if someone wanted their fans to know every detail of their lives, they wouldn't be doing something like vtubing. I see vtubing as a means to be in entertainment, while also having the option to throw up a god damn wall between you and the crazier parts of your fandom, while also walling at the worst parts of society. If it's a personal matter, the talents aren't obligated to share it with their fandom and fans need to go over themselves and realize they aren't entitled to knowing every detail about their favorite entertainers. Magni & Vesper thing is still up in the air. I'm giving Cover the benefit of a doubt and assuming it's a matter that the two want to keep private either permanently or temporarily. I might adjust depending on what details surface. I will say though that all the agencies need to come up with a better way of dropping announcements. I hate how the whole "Notice" fills people with dread and then that dread is either confirmed or dispelled by the contents of the message. Maybe use "announcement" or "FYI" if a talent is going on hiatus and leave notice to be the dreaded "someone is being suspended, fired or graduating" sign. Granted, that also means agencies need to not abuse it to hide that they are disciplining a talent.

Think about this: Voltaction from JP, who were promoted similar to Luxiem and debuted only months later, already had their second outfits long ago and already had their 3D debuts. Luxiem only had them 3 months ago, and we’ll never get Mysta 3D (chibi doesn’t count). Like yeah, Voltaction lives in Japan, but we all know that all of Luxiem would’ve traveled to Japan if they had to, considering how just months ago a great part of EN did travel to Japan and vacationed together. Heck, we haven’t even had 3D for OBSYDIA yet, and they already celebrated their 2nd year. I don’t think it is much to ask, but why is there so much difference between EN and JP. The only thing they (company) seem to care about is merch. I don’t think they would even let the talents commission their own stuff like outfits. Even comparing them to HoloTempus, Magni and Vesper had 2.0’s, while for Niji, they have to wait to literally win a 3.0 brush up lottery. I feel like this sort of neglect is one of the reasons that has led to burnout in Luxiem and many in NijiEN. The company is literally holding them back, restricting them already, while also pumping out merch like there’s no tomorrow and pushing the livers into a parasocial image that many of them have explicitly said they don’t like. I think this is one of the reasons Axia Krone graduated, and potentially Mayuzumi. The company they wanted to join is no longer the one that exist now. I… still love Nijisanji. But it makes me sad that the livers a love there deserve better and there’s no sign it’ll get better.

[@ausgod538]

3.0 is a lottery for everyone and en members already got a lot of it. It began being a thing to en this year. As for the rest, things didn't change, it always has been like this, Jp always has and Will be the priority due to it being Nijisanji itself and its extreme popularity

We all know how Nina felt about how things were handled, Selen on numerous occasions has voiced her displeasure about the EN side, and now Mysta graduating saying the exact same things that so many have been saying. So i fear that we may see more EN Niji talent just straight up walking away from it all. There is a point that each of these talents just say enough is enough & that it's not worth it anymore. 2023 has been an absolute disaster for Niji with so many talents leaving. I don't know if it will happen but Niji as a whole really need to stop & re-evaluate their business model especially the brands not associated with JP.

I really hope all of Luxime leaves. I DON'T MEAN IT IN A BAD WAY! I just feel so bad... Niji En is going down they deserve better Luxime's mental health is going down i feel so bad i can only wish the best for my main oshis... Luxime. And Mysta.. Oh Mysta.. He was my main ohsi. And all i can do is wish him the best!

Uuh…can you like not say that. Yes we know that niji en management is shitty and that there’s a lot of graduations recently but we don’t know how the boys themselves feel about it and what their mental state is. Imagine working your ass off and trying to stay mentally strong to keep doing what you love just for some fans who are way too invested in overblown twitter drama to plead you to leave. I’m not saying that’s their mindset but it very well could be and I’m sure all of them are having a hard time dealing with the graduations, you inserting your own assumptions and opinions without even being in the company on what they should or shouldn’t do is incredibly insensitive and entitled imo.

I wish I was surprised, but I'm not. It's important to know when to walk away. He's going to be all right.

As a niji fan the Zaion drama has really fucked with me mentally seeing the community absolutely hate on nijisanji constantly after that happened

[@darkevilazn]

Non-stop L's from nijisanji, especially with all the whistle blowing about how they "operate". They painted themselves as just another black company, and that's what most fans see them as. We may still love and support the Niji talent, but we can also hate and despise the company itself. I wouldn't be surprised if NijiEn management was given a prerogative to actively harass talent into following orders.

@@TheAdminSlayer i am a fan of the talents. to me my brain sees all this nijisanji hate as some doom signal that is going to force every single one of their talents to be graduated

[@phyrexian_dude4645]

Niji needs to clean shop on the managers and remodel their business strategy because at this pace they are going to keep losing talents outside of JP, shut down another branch and, worst case scenario, potencial talents start to avoid them all together, the later would be a death sentence.

Niji can't stop taking hits. That's 2 pretty big vtubers they've lost recently.

​@@wuxian1 I'm new to this channel and I'm not a huge VTuber fan(and don't watch Finana) so I'm out of the loop, but reading this comment section my impression is that a lot of fans here hate Finana. I don't have any opinions on her and I think hating other people is stupid, but considering the type of people here versus the type of person Finana is, I can see why.
