Why Korone Became the Strongest Member in Hololive ft. Subaru Mio Okayu [SMOK]

[@lightsabermadeofbees4924]

Daily reminder that Korone is the only Hololive member who's ever had to take a break because of a deadlifting injury. I feel like she's going to hold that record forever.

[@MrYeetus]

kronii might

[@MrSaywutnow]

I thought the injury was from squatting?

[@thehoodedteddy1335]

@@MrSaywutnow that is part of deadlifting I believe

[@thehoodedteddy1335]

Hasn’t she also taken boxing lessons?

[@benjiusofficial]

Wait, doggo deadlifts? Holy crap, Korone is peak waifu.

[@JustChiaki]

Korone is a textbook example of not underestimating your opponent. Would you ever expect such a cute facade to actually be hiding a boxing trained, chainsaw loving, Mike Tyson eating, dog?

[@williambarnes5023]

You're going to attack me? With fists? But don't you know? FISTS ARE MADE OF FINGERS.

[@DinnerForkTongue]

Yes, in fact.

[@ethanfreeman1106]

​@@williambarnes5023that actually sounds badass, holy 😂

[@DontDisapPyrrha]

Korone: -boxes -did her birthday live with her knee being injured -fractured her finger then like 3 weeks later did a flip -does endurance streams so often 3 hour streams feel short -doesn’t look after herself well enough tho 😡

[@SDE1994]

2:25 i was expecting Subaru to retort here that she is human but doesnt, she has finally fully accepted being a duck

[@amundkringensamuelsen647]

"These fists haven't punched a person yet." Oh, the pain that we have endured...

[@brugalter94]

We are not people in her eyes, just punching bags.

[@Run-Riot]

We listeners do not count as people to Korone. Even when we're not being physically hurt by her, we're still being emotionally hurt by her.

[@MrEasterband]

I mean, Korone once intimidated a Yakuza dragon into submission on her own stream. If Korone isn't the strongest Holo I don't know what to think any more.

[@hajime_am1]

You can't disregard the fact that Korone's strong, and that she has a sweet reason of being so. But we all know that Yagoo is the strongest for recruiting all these creatures lol.

[@AigisAppreciator]

So what you're saying is that Yagoo is Makima?

[@highlight0001]

Korone has a really cute reasoning as to why she does that, I with how strong she is physically and being able to do all those endurance streams, I'm sure there aren't many people who would beat Korone in a fight lol also because she is too cute to fight with lol

[@gamerman782]

Doesn't it really depends on if she is used to fighting?

[@Elmithian]

​@@gamerman782 She practices kickboxing.

[@blazefactor6849]

@@Elmithian Even if she practices kickboxing, that doesn't necessarily mean she knows how to use it effectively in an actual combat scenario. No matter how much you practice the standard moves and even spar with them, it's hard to directly translate that into actual fights.

[@Elmithian]

@@blazefactor6849 Still miles better than those with no combat training at all. And I don't know about you but I would prefer someone that doesn't know dozen of ways to temporarily cause me to limp. After all, you don't need to "win" in self defense, you just need to be faster at running away.

[@yodawgzgaming4416]

Korone's joke drawing answer ends up being mathematically accurate, amazing

[@xelasneko]

I agree with Mio's ranking the most, but Okayu's Mio explanation is the most creative and hilarious! I didn't expect Mio to have hair power, but it is definitely a possibility and still somehow fits.

[@chibbersthesquirrel6189]

Nobody wants to be on the receiving end of that shibakiage punching. Except koronesuki, of course.

[@benjiusofficial]

There's a stream Korone had a long time ago where she mentions not being able (or wishing she was able to) help someone that was having an emergency on the train. Then she mentions building her strength to be able to protect everyone. I do powerlifting alot and one of the things we talk about is not just to have big numbas but, like, if a person is trapped underneath a car, that you can deadlift it off of them. Day by day, Korone becomes untouchable as peak waifu.

[@DiabolosVT]

No wife. Friend. Best friend. And keep that in your mind dear virgin-san

[@josueveguilla9069]

Inugami Korone (Evil God Korone) (Hololive) is a very, very, very, very, very, very, very cute dog.

[@nucl3ar_snake]

They all forgot Mio's got a freaking stand too on top of (now) hair powers (which is also a stand), Mio's becoming too powerful.

[@Arrowdodger]

These four have great comedic chemistry. You could truly say that where there's SMOK, there's fire!

[@shaithis77]

Korone’s power level is over K-9,000.

[@Isaac_eins]

Wow wow!

[@koholos]

I mean, even if she’s never hit someone in a fight, she’s trained in boxing, and there’s swveral videos of trained boxers knocking out even otherwise strong untrained people.

[@Nyukes]

I wonder if Korone has abs Indeed she sounds like one punch is enough to knock out someone

[@IHeart16Bit]

Can we talk about Okayu’s heart antenna please.

[@scruddo1644]

What do you want me to say... They're perfect

[@Temari_Virus]

All of gamers got those cute headbands recently. Go check out their most recent EDF streams

[@cirmothe9]

I agree with chat. Subaru seems like she has good stamina from her dancing. But yeah Korone being one punch man out there.

[@EricOrang]

I mean Korone does do boxing.

[@nathanhampton1863]

I think Okayu is the weakest in a fight thanks to her masochist nature. She might enjoy being beaten.

[@AkinomaHNU]

There's a clip out there about when Okayun explaining that she's more into receiving dirty talk/psychological bullying and not in physical pain

[@raimyonlinewarrior236]

I do recall that Okayu did lean some self defense

[@IceX92]

Korone IRL actually look like a badass gym member, she did some boxing too

[@WindStreak_]

All the Korone-suki know how powerful her punch is

[@shoyusuki8687]

Korone can throw a falcon punch, Im not betting my life on that

[@greebo6799]

killer hair... I think Okayu has watched the horror movie Exte!

[@kuhakuxiii6408]

no one can deflect the nose splash

[@The5armdamput33]

Subaru may have been scolded in martial arts class for the lack of power in her punches... But that's because she's not a striker... She's a submission specialist... Evade their strikes until you can get behind them... Then catch them in a 'Sheep-Killer Headlock'!!

[@drpibisback7680]

I don't know how to feel about the fact that the adorable dog girl from Hololive could kick my ass six ways from Sunday.

[@lyconxero457]

I guess engaging in martial arts training from a young age is more of a Chinese stereotype than Japanese, but I remember being super happy when my Mom enrolled me in Tae Kwon Do lessons as a youngin' because it taught me about way more things than simply fighting and gave me a sense of discipline that helped me get through some pretty tough times as a young adult.

[@Ruintheus]

Interestingly enough, Taekwondo has neither Chinese or Japanese origins as it originates from Korea!

[@maldorov6297]

In a fist fight, Korone. With weapons, Shubangelion

[@drakke125Channel]

Korone is that giant muscle ripped protag guarding their neko loli.

[@ankylosaurus1654]

This is what she told Mio, Ayame and Subaru two years ago, too. But she also says it's only fun exercise lol

[@gamerbear84]

I like how in Korone's answer everyone else is just #2, she'll wipe 'em all out in a single punch so all are KO'd at once. lol

[@maxis2k]

And thus, a new chapter in the lore was added. And there was much rejoicing.

[@nickrob6941]

“Nose Splash!” 🤣😭😂 OkayuOkayu really got me there

[@karmunlee8772]

That why I love her.

[@Ammothief41]

Who is most likely to hold a death game? Definitely voting korone on that one. lol

[@OhGeeGanksta]

Like a true doggo, she defends and she attacks.

[@PrismZet]

I feel like everyone except Subaru is underestimating her lol. Korone sweeps all of the hololive members easy, but Subaru is definitely sporty and strong.

[@magic_cfw]

Mio: I can't move my hair! Also Mio: Hatotauros! ORA!

[@Script_Mak3r]

Somehow, Subaru being the most in tune with chat feels right.

[@nezyro]

Just another reason to love Korone

[@NoriMori1992]

So Okayu's reasoning is that Mio has Love Deluxe?! 😂

[@EnergyBurst2]

My ranking was also the same a Subaru's and chat's based off of my knowledge of the 4

[@bigalzo5311]

Mio “I don’t think I lose to a cat” Her older cat “looks like you forgot who is the top ‘dog’ of this house again”

[@rkade1486]

1. Okayu - I can't attack her 2. Korone - She'd break my face and everything else in one punch 3. Mio - I've learned of her greatest weapon today and how I'll die 4. Subaru - I think I could take the duck.

[@XaneKudo]

You take the duck, a muscle knight’ll get revenge.

[@rkade1486]

@@XaneKudo Forgot Subaru was a protag.

[@Flaregamesz]

Mio is now the new Bayonetta according to Okayu

[@KanuckStreams]

I fucking love the girls, and Korone is so goddamn adorable. "These fists haven't punched a person yet." As someone who has done martial arts, and has fists that have punched several people, I volunteer to be your test dummy, Korone-chan.

[@lastnamefirstname8655]

cute SM OK teetee. very cute.

[@Saihamaru]

korone vs kanata their fight will be legendary

[@MrSaywutnow]

I don't doubt Subaru's stamina. Ducks are migratory birds.

[@luissantiago5163]

Ayy nice

She is not a spaniel, she's a freaking Rhodesian Ridgeback.

[@RTM_random]

Protec

[@daodolong]

IRL Korone maybe stronger but animal kingdom wise Mio is .

[@dragothdarqlaw156]

To be fair i think if subaru was able to outmanuver korone then she could get her in a oozora clutch.

[@undeniablySomeGuy]

Korone is peak

[@josueveguilla9069]

What if Korone (Hololive) was a Pokémon? (Alternate History)

[@lyconxero457]

A big reason why I believe Subaru is able to guess similarly to the chat is that she's not a member of Gamers which inherently introduces a bit of extra bias into your overall perceptions.

[@williamg5495]

Subaru is boji !!! you can do it subaru!!

[@ichikuraii]

Of course, Korone is the strongest in hololive, but the most powerful attack would be PP Tenshi's 100% grip right? If Kanatan has the chance to hold the opponent, it's an instant gameover, death by pain.

[@Kitsuna_Gacha]

Funny how Okayu is ranked low in all of the rank lists. Have you ever been scratched by a cat?

[@vyran7044]

rly? nobody considered the fact that anybody that would try to hurt okayu would have to face of against a pissed of korone as well? ^^

[@SurrealKeenan]

Hololive boxing event when?

[@remigengogakusha]

Speaking of fighting, I think an SFV Hololive Mod Pack would do really well. (Had to add this)Or, a Hololive Fighting Game!? Anyone else feel the same? 🤔

[@gallantblade1825]

But who would each character be? Korone always trains, so she’d arguably be Ryu. She does boxing, so maybe Balrog instead? M. Bison as Haachama. I think it fits. Could also be Menat. Kanata has that gorilla grip strength, so Zangief or E. Honda. I don’t know why, but I’m thinking Mio and Sagat. Also thinking Subaru and Sakura. R. Mika as Pekora? I only chose this ‘cuz of the hair that could be rabbit ears. Ina and Dhalsim? Might be a bit of a stretch. Fubuki and Guile, tho. That seems cool. And as much as I don’t want to do this, with how she’s being portrayed as of late as an agent of chaos, Watame as Dan Hibiki.

[@remigengogakusha]

@@gallantblade1825 As long as the skin mods are fine, my play "Drive" would be infinite 🤩. Hopefully Hololive would make its own fighting game so we can see it in Evo.

[@scruddo1644]

Why is "Korone" and "Okayu" written in hiragana, but "Subaru" and "Mio" is written in katakana? Is it for stylistic purposes, did they just want to do it that way, or are there some Japanese grammatical rules which makes this the proper way to write their names?

[@wootoo3435]

I think it's because the impression that hiragana and katakana give is a little bit different. Hiragana gives warm and gentle impression. ぺこら　わため　あやめ Katakana gives sharp, stylish and cool impression. フブキ　シオン　クロヱ When deciding on their names, whether their names are written in hiragana or katakana is also considered an important factor,I guess.

[@scruddo1644]

@@wootoo3435 Thank you for the reply! I only recently memorized Hiragana and Katakana, and I thought I knew when one was used over the other. But then I saw a panel from One Piece where an entire sentence was written in Katakana, which artistically made sense. In my head I thought it would be like writing in cursive in English. Used to think Katakana wouldn't be needed, but it's used in these random places, and it's really interesting. Again, thanks for replying

[@wootoo3435]

@@scruddo1644 No problem! Hiragana looks softer due to use of curved lines, while katakana which uses straight lines looks sharper. Btw most of the SE in manga (such asゴゴゴゴorドドドドfrom jojo) are written in katakana but sometimes hiragana is also used in some cases. (likeざわざわ… from kaiji) It might be fun to pay attention to how hiragana and katakana are used in manga!😊

[@jingo4754]

Korone's logic checks out: The inugami is a mythical Japanese creature that resembles a dog. It is a type of shikigami, spirits used by Japanese diviners. They are extremely powerful spirits who act on behalf of their masters, called inugami-mochi, in delivering vengeance or acting as guardians.
