A Japanese Twitter user has caught the attention of the online community by sharing a peculiar photograph that shows him posing with a “marriage certificate” with Uruha Rushia, a popular retired VTuber. The former VTuber has been the subject of continued speculation and discussion surrounding the circumstances of her retirement from the industry.
In the photograph, the user not only displays the marriage certificate, but also presents a bouquet of white roses, indicating the celebration of his “marriage” with the ex-VTuber. However, the most striking thing is the presence of a dakimakura starring Uruha Rushia. In the image, Rushia is depicted lying down and covered with a blanket, suggesting that the wearer sleeps with the pillow as if she were his legitimate wife.
The post has generated a wide range of reactions in the Twitter community. While some praise the user for “living the dream of marrying his waifu in real life”others express concern about the level of fanaticism on display, suggesting it could be indicative of a worrying obsession.
In February 2022, Hololive Production released a statement terminating its contract with Uruha Rushia due to several violations on her part. The statement alleged that Rushia had leaked company information that he was responsible for protecting and had spread falsehoods to various parties, which had damaged the company’s reputation.
At the time of his retirement, Uruha Rushia was the most superchatted YouTube channel of all time, with total revenue of more than $3.2 million through more than 273,000 superchats. Rushia’s channel had 1.59 million subscribers and more than 150 million cumulative views, so her immediate expulsion was a surprise and a mystery that the community is still trying to solve.
