I think there are a lot of elements to it. Sakana took a chance on her when literally nobody else would. She had been rejected from almost every other corpo. (she never applied to Niji) Even Dizzy a close friend of Sakana at the time said he should pass on her. A large portion of Phase Connect's success has been directly build on her back. Along with Sakana her and her Gen mates took nothing and made it the biggest small corpo, one that's gunning for the big leagues now. There's probably a lot of loyalty in coming up like that but I imagine also a lot of pride in what she's accomplished. Walking away from that would be really hard for anyone.
@@happygimly6061 100% true. Gen 1, Sakana and year 1 staff were forged in fire. Bet they're all very proud and loyal to the company they built. And a lot it is built on the foundation of Sakana knowing who to take a chance on and them being grateful for it. You can't buy that kind of loyalty.
Pippa the lap rabbit. I can imagine Fishman sitting in a dark room with the only thing illuminating his face being the glow in the dark rabbit sitting in his lap going pipipi.
@Pherim_ Pippa is my oshi, but let's be honest, in the beginning it was both her and Tenma. Tenma was far more willing to and active in collaborating with other vtubers and streamers
@@bradyp8868 if we're gonna play that game, in the beginning it was actually uruka that inadvertently carried. EN corpo vtuber debut ads were unheard of before fishman started it. the obvious success of those ads is why all small corpos run debut ads these days. a large part of the success was because of uruka's original song. a corpo chuuba that wrote their own debut song was unheard of, and it being an english joke song rather than generic cutesy or edgy japanese song made the company stand out that much more. her lax take on company inner workings was a major contributor to spilling the earliest fishman, staff, and other talent shenanigans behind the scenes. she also had a bunch of spontaneous call ins and a lot of yuri baiting with lia. these things were what started the whole transparent bantering image of phase. im fairly certain even the name "fishman" was originally dubbed by uruka herself, if not, then it's from her reading a comment that called him that. then she summoned all the TW bros with her mandarin songs and then the ES bros by butchering despacito. combined with being the rare violinist, and multi instrument capable, that's how she exploded and drew in the biggest crowds at the time. eventually, she took some fishman karaoke requests, and got rewarded with a random fishman akasupa. that's where the fishman akasupa tradition started. once you know all this, whenever there's talk of fishman having a favorite member, even if it's not true, the apparent candidate couldn't be more ovbious. back then, pippa even straight up said to uruka in a collab, since uruka was their flagship, pippa herself didn't have to deal with the stress of being the face of the company, and was happy to coast smoothly behind uruka. unfortunately, the bear has been so sickly, and decided to devote her time to further education, that her appearances became scarce, so her numbers stalled.
@@Pherim_ She's definitely valuable to phase but you are only a shareholder if you holding shares and as Sakana said some dumb shit they do finally gives him a stroke the company would just totter around for a bit and dissolve, there ain't no succession planning and there ain't no shares it ain't a worker co-op fish falls over bills don't get paid and Phase connect gonna phase out.
@@Pherim_ believe it or not there was a brief time at the very beginning when Tenma and Lia were the heaviest hitters. Then Pippa blew up and it just never stopped.
other corps told her no. Dizzy told her no. Sakana gave her a chance and said yes of corse she faithful. However this "Flemish Giant" is one heck of a "lap dog".
Realize something about Pippa. Sakana saved her life. Pippa was in a REALLY dark place when she started working for Sakana, and eventually got mentally better. Unless someone gives her an absurd amount of money to leave, Pippa will remain fiercely loyal to the Fish man who not only employs her, but saved her.
@@alexgainsborough4921 She admitted she was in a REALLY dark place mentally when she started. She considered... unaliving live on stream for a while. She got better.
Sakana took a chance on her when no when every would. Together they have help grow a small corp to almost the big leagues. All while keeping a family friendly atmosphere of sad girls. With a CEO that tsundere and will never admit he actually cares about them.
"Family friendly" I can't tell if this was sarcasim. It's wrapped in honesty, so it makes it seem like you _actually_ think the Sad Girl Company is family friendly.
@@MartyrPandaGaming lol....on that note...yeah I worded that funny...I more meant internally the talents seem to generally like each other and support each other. Tenma adores piipa. Shiina and dizzy are close. Jelly and Lumi.
I need some fanart of Sakana sitting in a dark, team rocket Giovanni style room, with his giant fish head obscured in darkness while a pink rabbit sits on his lap, red eyes glowing menacingly. Then I need a second art where the lights are turned on and it turns out it wasn’t menacing at all and Sakana was just trying to remove some of the mold off of Pippa.
Pippa probably gets a lot more recruitment than she admits. I remember when FuwaMocco was getting popular and bunch of agency(specially niji) was specifically looking for twins to recruit

Lol. Lmao even. Imagine trying to poach a top tier girl who has expressed love for her company many times, and when she comes in she starts writing down everything you say. 0 situational awareness.
I think it would become incredibly obvious if she gets in a relationship. She'd never let on about who it is but I think we'd notice a change in demeanor
“You smart, you loyal, I appreciate that” -Sakana probably
"Buy poppakin and mammakin an RV"
-Sakana "Fishman Don" Phase Connect
That's what good boss do. It's rare these day tho
"My Lord, I bring information that may interest you..."
"I am a genuinely unstable individual, but my loyalty makes me an asset."
Like the kid you were nice to that tells you not to come to school tomorrow.
It's important to get the mentally insane on your side. You can do a lot of things with them, and no one would believe them.
Getting the loyalty of someone so contrarian is a great achievement
Sakana's a good dude, she wouldn't have been like this for Nijisanji for instance.

If you are an evil villain you want someone like Pippa as your henchman.
Wait a minute, what is Sakana really up to?
World domination
Coffee Industry Monopoly
Do not ask what is happening in the Paris catacombs. There is no fishman army.
other corps told her no. Dizzy told her no. Sakana gave her a chance and said yes of corse she faithful. However this "Flemish Giant" is one heck of a "lap dog".
This is why Sakana is best boy/girl/animal/oshi
I wonder if Pippa has held a grudge over Dizzy telling her to fkk off when Pippa applied to tsunderia.....
@@Archedgar ayo
Didn't knew about that. Was Dizzy in some other company's staff before joining PC?
@@SupreMamaco She used to be a staff in Tsunderia (r.i.p), you can actually see her former avatar in her debut stream
@@GyoGleiphand was a manager for brief moment of phase connect, mostly because dizzy and sakana are childhood friends.

She is the informant
pippa is a good girl
Sakana made Pippa an offer she couldn't refuse on this, the day of his daughter's wedding

Pippa isn’t Sakana’s lap dog. 1) she’s a bnnuy, 2) she’s probably doing it too bug him

That sounds like dizzy. I imagine dizzy saying that to pippa lol

I like to think Sakana doesn't really care about this information and Pippa just does this anyway, confusing him deeply.

does your mother smoke?

Who knew the mold rabbit was a corpo-rat
the rrats are serious bussiness
Also sakana is a huge fan and would love to know about a new gen
Now I imagine Pippa wearing a Collar and Phase Connect Fishman holding her leash.

At least she sort of told the company that she did this to them, in this stream. It could have been worse.
