Retrospring is shutting down on 1st March, 2025 Read more
512
it seems i got the duet prediction wrong… at least we got 3 covers this time.
either way, haruka5 is confirmed, which means the cap is being raised, inevitably.
since the enstars collab does have a gacha, i guess that means no tsukasa in vd… i'm a bit hesitant about shiho. maybe they will do len? somehow lol.
well, the 4* cap has already been raised with movie miku haha. also i believe tsukasa could still be in VD, if they're evil
i think len can happen if they do mafuyu+mmj, bc mafuyu+shiho+len would be the exact same units as kanademix3
either way, the choices im feeling most for VD are:
mafuyu+minori+shiho
mafuyu+mmj+tsukasa
mafuyu+mmj/tsukasa+niigo len
im not Truly feeling mafuyu+shiho+whoever because it'd be the same as kanademix3, as i mentioned; the afterlive could be niigo+mmj, i suppose, but ehh
although it's lowkey crazy, i think it could be mafuyu+shizuku+tsukasa. idk, im just feeling it lol
hiiii!
it seems we got the leo/need member wrong lol, but kanade + saki does check out. also rin is slightly surprising but tbh i didn't really think she was going to appear in the next event, mainly because i'd rather not have her get another mmj comm, especially with how due she is to appear in l/n, vbs and wxs… so i'm assuming it's either luka (vs with lowest 4* rn, has 3 mmj comms) or meiko (only has 2 mmj comms; kaito does, too, but he has more 4* and just mokai specifically just got a lim so i'm not really feeling him)
also 4th event in a row a vbs character appears… lol, at least kohane not in gacha (and she was kinda due for an event card). isn't vbs in america rn, though? i only play on en so i'm not sure😭
my predictions don't really change, besides mizuki probably being the 3* in vd? and a nene 3* should appear next month… hopefully.
hello!!
kanade + saki was a surprising choice but sure, i guess! im interested
niigo rin was the most surprising part though; im now leaning more towards meiko in the mmj event, and luka in the perm mix (or perhaps the other way around)
also yes, vbs is in america, and explicitly are staying there. so this is either timeline fuckery (event taking place before they left) or kohane's just a flashback / phone call (?). or she's just there, somehow. funny
for VD, i'd say mafuyu being there is very likely... not sure about the rest of the 4*. mafuyu + shiho + minori, with shop mizuki, makes a lot of sense i think. but i feel it'll be wrong somehow
hi again!
this broadcast's lineup is… interesting. i guess they'll do haruka5? haruai + meiko or smth if i had to guess (not sure what'll happen to rin though…)
as for why akina and jiena are there… anhane cover, maybe? kanaena got a duet (n25) and then ruikasa (wxs), and since vbs i behind in covers, i guess it's possible?
hello! sorry just noticed i didn't reply last time, though i didn't have much to add sorry
yeah, if the event is based on the guests as usual, it should be mmj next month. i think there's a chance it's minori6 rather than haruka5 (because of the story), but oomf explained to me how it could be haruka5 first then minori6 and it made sense, so currently i think it could go either way. i'd 100% expect the VS to be rin though, she really needs a new comm and a 4*
akina and jiena are simply there, i'd say. it doesn't have to mean anything. Perhaps it means something, but it doesn't have to
statistically, an ankoha cover can happen. vbs is extremely likely to get at least one cover due to being behind, and ankoha haven't had one in a long time so... it Could happen, but it's not necessarily guaranteed just because of the guests, imo
hmm… honaka + luka/meiko actually makes a bit of sense. maybe mizuki 3* and ichika 2*, then? to have space for possible new interactions or smth. also to give them event cards considering they're due, and nene should probably appear in a wxs event as a 3* next month, probably? otherwise she's also possible.
as for valentine's… mizumafu + minori > tsukasa definitely seem like the good choices… but i think the 4* cap may be raised soon anyways? miku will soon be at 22, like i said, and the only characters left at 19 are minori, luka and rin. minori and luka are probably appearing this month, and then rin could appear as a 4* in the next group event? so len could have a chance.
as for the 4* in a row thing… true, but i wouldn't be surprised if they also break that, atp. i mostly agree with your predictions, though (all of n25 getting vd 4* would be foul tho, so maybe it could be tsukasa instead of mizuki?)
yeah that was pretty much my spec haha. honakana+VS, with shop mizuki and ichika. nene instead of mizuki could work too, and mizuki's in like. kanade5 in march/april
other than that, don't have much to add. tsukasa instead of mizuki would work if they dgaf about the VD -> enstars lim gap. im feeling len on WD more though, tbh, but we'll see what they do...!
i agree with rin in the february unit event, and luka in either the perm mix this month or next, while meiko's in the other
Hello,,, sorry for bothering but can i ask to be unblocked? I dont think im in your dni list and alot of my oomfs interact with you and i want to interact aswell😭 (my handle is harukahater)
hi again!
i'm partially surprised it's len. it makes sense, i guess? both rin and len are both at 2 vbs commissions only so it was a 50/50 chance (i remember some people speculating touya rin len pu for some reason which. lol.)
on one hand, len finally has a permanent happy card! on the other hand, this greatly decreases his chances of appearing in valentine's day… it's not impossible, tho.
not really sure what to predict right now (permmix events are kinda hard to predict always), but luka should probably be in next event? miku is going to be at 22 4* because of the movie card, rin will probably appear in next month's hako, which is probably a coinflip between l/n & wxs, who are both at 2, too, so it's not that big of a deal? meiko is possible too ig, and kaito, but eh i don't feel it.
hello!!
yeah len was a surprise... but his last vbs comm was like. flyer? so i was expecting him eventually. he was my initial VS spec for akito5, even
len seems pretty unlikely to be in VD now, imo. they haven't given a VS two 4* in a row (with a gap inbetween) since miku back in 1.5 anni... plus it'd be his 22nd 4*, so i don't think it's happening tbh
for the perm mix, i was actually thinking honakana, with either meiko or luka as the third 4*. mixeds lately have been focusing on old relationships (emumix2 being emumafu + emuhona, shihomix3 being hinomoris+tenmas, ruimix3 was kind of new but kohane being a wxs fan was established from the start, and then ny with akty+airiena), so i think honakana makes sense
on the other hand, VD... i've started to think it may be mizuminomafu lol. mafuyu really needs a 4* somewhere, but with kanade in the perm mixed, and ena in WD (because of niigo len), thats a lot of niigo events, so i genuinely think it could be mizumafu + minori. alternatively, they can do mafuminoshiho but that combo seems a bit random haha
or maybe they don't care about tsukasa getting the enstars lim and do VD tsukasa anyways?
oh yeah, the enstars collab… it's going to heavily depend on whether they have come with hairstyles or not. i doubt it, though.
i do think the wait between both lims would be outrageous though… basically 17&18 days. not even hairstyleless lims and normal lims (minori wl to wedding, kohane wl to vd, sanrio ena to vd) have such a short distance… oof.
i've seen some people spec for shizuku to be in vd, but i'm not really confident in them doing that (minori would be a better choice in that case tbh). i am still feeling tsukasa though, despite of what i mentioned.
also, while it's still a while before it, do you think 4.5 anni could be a vs event? it's also something i've been seeing speculated😭 i personally don't think so because we're essentially guaranteed 5 hakolims b2b and it seems like a better chance for all of them to appear there, but i'd like to see what you think!
hi sorry for the late response i've been tiering and it's also been my birthday and i forgot to check retrospring
i doubt enstars lims will have hairstyles.... not that i will complain if they do bc akito ^_^ but i'd be surprised if they did
current VD spec would be like. mafuyu or mizuki + minori + either niigo len or... someone else (shiho, or mizuki/mafuyu if the other's the focus?), in case they want to leave len for WD, as i've seen some people theorize. it's a bit odd currently... once i see the next perm mix i'll be more confident in my VD spec, i think
also i Really really doubt 4.5 will be a VS event. vs wl will already take the yearly vs event spot, and as you said, we've got a lot of hakolims coming, and having most of them be 3OC would be odd, so i'd say we don't need to worry about 4.5 being a VS event at all
heya! the schedule has been announced and… touya5 is being before the permmix. what the fuck😭😭😭😭😭 they really don't care anymore. touya, kohane and vbs rin 4* are essentially guaranteed then, i guess? now i'm not sure if we'll get two n25 mixed focuses b2b though…
welp. first time we get three banners with characters of the same unit in a row lmao. but yeah, touya and kohane are guaranteed, and the third 4*'s likely rin
unsure about the mixed, though... thinking emoji. two mixeds of the same unit in a row is unlikely, so maybe it's like. niigo focus perm mix, then tsukasa VD? (i know he's getting enstars too but maybe they don't care. there's been shorter gaps between lims and WL cards, and collab cards would fall under the same "not-a-real-lim" category as WL cards)
hi again! i forgot to mention some other predictions but:
we already have the ny's lineup fully confirmed (although it was leaked so not going to say it lol), but with those in mind, i think the permmix will come first? unless they want to do vbs 4* three events in a row so…
permmix
4* kanade (banner), minori & mmj rin
3* mizuki or nene
2* ichika
therefore, touya5 should be:
4* touya, kohane > an, vbs luka
3* an or kohane or akito or vbs rin?
2* an or kohane
touya is confirmed obviously, and while kohane seems like the more rational choice, an isn't really super due for an event card, while kohane is, so i'm not sure. akito also got a 3* and a mixed focus so i'm considering him being excluded from the set but. then it would be his 3rd time which is so… yeah.
valentine's remains the same (mafukasa + n25 len) but not sure about event cards lol.
also do you think miku's 4* from the movie may count as a limited? unlike magimirai i think this one may count because it's actually a card, but miku supposedly doesn't count for card rotation (not that there's one anymore lol) so yeah.
honestly the thing i'm concerned the most is how wild post 4.5 anni lineups are going to be… we straight up have 5 guaranteed hakolims, which is foul. will we get a wedding hakolim or will they actually not do it at all? i doubt it but you never know.
what do you think? what are you predictions?
hello! sorry i didnt reply to your other ask bc retrospring wasn't working at all yesterday lmfao.... but it wasn't really a miscommunication thing actually, they genuinely wanted people to watch the movie 26 times to get all 2* im crying. but this is mainly because they didnt think people would want to get all 2*, which is dumb. this is a card collecting game bro
also, i spoiled myself on the NY stuff because. i can't avoid leaks for four days jfc, especially when it involves my oshi (so excited to roll... god....)
either way, specs time. i do agree the perm mix will probably go first because i doubt they'd do three banners in a row with 4* vbs chars. however, i dont agree with mmj rin, and im not so sure about a mmj char
niigo + leoni being the lineup makes the most sense to me, with niigo as the focus because they dont have a single mix3 yet lmao. maybe kanade + honami, or mafuyu + honami or ichika. and the third 4* being a VS, like niigo meiko (actually meiko's the most reasonable choice for the lineup lol. it'd be the same gap as bridal luka -> tsukasa5 luka), because it's too fast for niigo luka and rin makes more sense in touya5 because vbs rin's missing her BNW design in a card
niigo + mmj works... except it'd be minori bc we just got haruka and airi on NY, and shizuku's gotten 4* in november and december already. kanade+minori seems like a decent guess, although i hesitate because of the NY mixed already having mmj, so i lean more towards leoni
(scratches head) im not really sure. though ichinene shop cards seems like a good guess or pretty high possibilities, at least
now, when it comes to touya5, i definitely think it's touya, kohane, vbs rin. rin's the VS with least event songs right now, so paired with the fact vbs rin needs her new design, this makes the most sense
also if akito's not a shop card in touya5 you'll see me on the news /j
VD... still thinking mafukasa+niigo len too, yeah, although if mafuyu's the perm mix (which is more reasonable than giving the perm mix to one of the most popular chars... although they actually did that with rui so idk...?), then. idfk what VD could be LOL. niigo len is extremely likely there, though
as for the movie miku... i'd say it likely counts as a lim, but miku's never really at lim cap so we may never know for sure haha. and finally, i doubt we get a bridal banner, though a wedding themed hakolim is pretty funny to think about lmao
l/n anon here!
this is all soooo overwhelming wtf… enstars collab???? that sounds cool but i'm hearing some jp fans are being weirdly misogynistic about how they don't want to see their idols alongside the female characters? that sucks, if true😭 why can't people be normal about men and women interacting (not to mention none of the girls are in the collab in the first place). 💀
second: haruan bf is a bit unexpected but it kinda makes sense? can't even be mad about no len which breaks rotation. also airi GO AWAYYYYY😭 congrats on akito tho!
also why more world links PLEASE STOP😭😭😭😭 all of them are so close to each other too??????? two of them are b2b ffs
as for the songs… l/n off-campaign was 100% expected but ruikasa duets being back was a surprise…! all campaign songs being full group, though… jeez. at least len has a mmj cover now!
what do you mean you have to see the movie 26 times to get all those gards that's greedy as hell omg😭
touya5 nilfruits is probably the most normal thing to come out of this mess because jfc
my only safe prediction now is that mafuyu (banner), tsukasa & n25 len is probably vd's lineup… n25 len getting two vd cards lol.
hello!! sorry meant to reply earlier but. it's been a wild day
im not too fond of enstars myself so... well. especially that fandom
it's not really the best collab for me. not to mention akito will likely get a collab card. please get me out
haruka and an bfes makes sense but they completely broke lim cap now haha. i guess it was bound to happen at some point... but yayyy. akito lim. on my birthdayyyy. so excited ^_^
WL2 is kind of awful. because now i have NY akito -> enstars akito (gross) -> WL2 akito to pull. this is divine punishment... smh
either way, kind of... a messy stream. best thing of it (for me) was the NY banner, then it went downhill and kept going and going. culminating with the worst collab ever. goodness. im not really a hater but this genuinely a pretty bad stream
finally, for VD... niigo len seems like a safe bet, len HAS to happen and doing two mmj uscorer lims in a row is too cruel... so i'd say mafuyu + tsukasa works. maybe they surprise us with something unexpected, though, like mafurui or mizurui. or perhaps there's surprisingly a leoni char (shiho? mafushiho? not sure)
hi again! honestly surprised by the lineup. i had seen some people predict kohane (which, in hindsight, should've been more obvious to me), but rui was a bit of a surprise! this does probably mean the ny can be a n25 focus, though… kanade seems to fit greatly, but putting her with minori again… dear god we may be getting yet another airi lim aren't we😭
also, this is technically spoilers, but the event shop lineup is also great! i'm actually surprised they're been finally giving characters the rarities they're due… ichiena 2* and mizunene 3* for when though.
and finally… it being a rui focus does elevate the chances of next wxs event being emu6 instead of rui5, huh? it's not necessarily impossible for him to still be next: the nenemix3 to nene5 distance was comically short, but still.
as for my predictions for ny, i'll keep it short:
bf 4*: an (pure) & len (anything but cute)
4*: kanade, airi>minori, mmj kaito>n25 kaito (pure? hesitant bc of airi)
as for event shop, i was thinking ena 2*? but that's also very possible in the next n25 event. 3* could be airi if minori's the 4*, somehow, or mizuki, but i'm iffy on that one considering they were last year's ny focus… ugh😭
heya! kohane and luka were expected, but rui focus was definitely a surprise haha. but yeah, this means NY kanade focus is quite likely (unless they do airi focus). whether she's with minori or airi... flip a coin!
also yes, with ruimix3 here, if there's a wxs event in january (which i think is likely because of the stream guests), i heavily doubt it's rui, because he's now at 4* cap + the shortest gap between focuses of the same character is three events, so no way rui5 is in january. it may actually be emu6 after all
for NY... i mostly agree with you:
4* kanade + airi/minori + mmj kaito, and shop shizuku and ena is my guess. if it's shizuku shop, 4* airi probably makes more sense. and bfes would be an and len
im not so sure about the pure attribute, because we've had a lot of pure events lately + airi got a pure lim just three months ago, but kaito really needs a pure 4* lmao
at this point, though, i think it's easy to say that akito likely won't be NY focus; i'm not really feeling him being in two mixeds in a row. while they've done it before (like tsukasa in lsh then anni3)... eh. kanade seems very likely imo
i think my spec for NY is wrong somewhere, somehow, though. it can't be that simple, imo
i don't even think that was properly articulated (regarding last ask) but on a more positive note: what do you think of this ny's song campaign? i was surprised by all 5 championship songs being here… i thought they'd be added gradually! 😭😭
since we know which ones are getting covers:
- konton boogie is definitely wxs. i'd like ruikasa but full group seems possible too.
- snooze has a 50/50 chance of being mmj and n25, and the other choice doesn't help at all.
as for the hints: henk4 is 100% ch4nge, really liked that hint lol. vbs getting another giga song is a bit foul, but hey they're a match made in heaven for a reason! seeing some people say it could be anhane or full group (i'd rather have this as full group and hanaobore anhane…)
the 鼓動 (pulsation) with fire emojis overlapped… i'm seeing wayyyy too many options, but general agreement seems to be it's the l/n cover. there was burning x3 by yuyoyuppe song, world lampshade [reunion] by buzzg…
the "eternal farewell" hint seems to be saihate by kz-livetune, and is the song that is also a coinflip between mmj and n25… hopefully it isn't full group either.
i know you mentioned you don't know a lot of vocaloid, and truthfully i didn't know most of these songs either😭 i'm wondering ehich which cover we'll get outside of the campaign, too. i'm assuming l/n or vbs as they're still behind for the albums… hopefully.
sorry for the yap lol it's 2 am where i live what am i doing😭
i considered the possibility the championship songs would be part of the NY campaign but i expected them to be added gradually too... only three hints is kind of boring tbh
now i don't have as much knowledge about vocaloid songs and such, so i'm not the best one to ask about this stuff, but konton boogie for wxs makes a lot of sense. ruikasa 3DMV after so long would be great, but considering they hate duets nowadays... i'm not so sure
ch4nge vbs makes sense too. praying for ankoha but (war flashbacks) sighs
snooze and saihate being for mmj and niigo is what i've heard most, and it's a gamble who gets which. oomfs seem to have settled on snooze niigo and saihate mmj though?
and the long ass song name, whatever it is, being leoni. the issue with that one is that Burning Burning Burning is exactly 21 characters... without the spaces, but they count spaces (look at mozaik role in anni4 song campaign) so it's a bit ??? right now what it's supposed to be
sorry i really don't have much to add in this case...! i just agree with the general consensus here. i'm happy with anything, i just hope there's a duet or two
and for songs outside campaign... i'd say likely leoni bc touya5 should be happening in january, and lately they don't seem to have both cover and event song of the same unit in the same month outside song campaigns? but i wouldn't complain if we got a vbs cover outside the campaign haha
l/n anon again!
two things: omg that was longer than expected (regarding the vd post)… sorry for not answering lol. i think maybe you're right and it's n25, ideally i'd prefer mafuyu because mafukasa interaction but one of my current top choices for next permmix is her so i'm iffy… i guess it'd be okay, though? it's whatever at this point. i was thinking shizuku could still be possible but them doing her would be a 3/5 repeat of pandemonium… not that it's impossible (see: precious memories, bustling café and operation secret valentines all having sakiemuairi lol).
i'm honestly not sure about the ny's lineup at all so it's whatever atp… as for shiho5 being after honami5, i guess it's possible? not ideal, though, but eh. l/n does need to catch up in the rotation though… so as long as it isn't ichika6 or something weird (which reminds me, i've seen some posts about how emu6 could happen before rui5, have any idea what's up with that?)
i didn't mention it, but i feel an has a high chance of getting 2 lims in a row (ny bfes -> wd). she went over a year without a lim (2.5th anni -> an5) and she hasn't gotten a lim ever since so yeah.
hi again! haha no worries about not answering
i'm still thinking honami+kohane+luka for the perm mix tbh, though i could be a bit biased haha. but mafuyu+tsukasa+shizuku should be totally fine! RIP VD akito but that lineup may make a bit more sense... although we recently got a tenmas + hinomoris event so im not 100% sure on that
as for NY... hopefully it becomes a bit more clear tomorrow after the event reveal. im nervous
then, shiho5 after honami5 is mainly based on the fact that honami's in WD, since next leoni event should be around february or march; but hey, they could give honami two 4* close together
finally, emu6 before rui5 is because of the story? and it also allows rui hakolim focus on golden week
sorry, dont have as much to say, especially because event reveal is tomorrow and half of this may become obsolete soon... lol. anyways, going to reply to your other ask in a sec. hold on
i don't think they'll do a third n25 member for valentine's in a row, or at least i hope so, therefore i'm not really expecting mizuki. i agree i have no idea which other character could be. maybe shizuku? that without ignoring the high chance of it being 3 ocs considering all previous vd events have been like that lol, but you never know😭
well, i think there'll be a niigo char in VD because... there simply isn't many other choices. assuming they don't do 4* repeats, the choices are:
shiho (honami)
minori (shizuku)
an, akito (touya)
tsukasa, rui
mafuyu, mizuki
miku, meiko, kaito (rin, len, luka)
with the ones in brackets being chars that already have a 3 or 2* in a previous VD event
starting with the VS, meiko is likely not happening. she's only missing wxs uscorer, and that'd complete both her uscorer lims and the wxs uscorer lims. miku's a similar case, though she wouldn't complete the mmj uscorers so it's half-fine
kaito's likely on NY, and len has a pretty good chance too; however, if they break the lim cap, len can be here... except it'd be niigo len, so it already proves there'd be a niigo lim in VD lol
i can kinda see vbs rin or luka happening, but since rin is likely in touya5 due to being behind in songs, and luka was the event card last year... not really feeling it
leaving VS aside:
- shiho's already at 4* cap, and i doubt she'd break cap again so soon. this is also the main reason why i think shiho's not the next leoni focus; either that or leoni's not in january
- minori... can happen! but not really feeling her. i think there's a chance she's on NY
- an i think is more likely on NY (as bloomfes), while i can really see akito happening. but an can be on VD if akito's bloomfes, or there's no vbs bfes at all
- i think tsukasa has a HIGH chance of being there, and perhaps even the focus. on the other hand... i don't think it'll be rui. rui5 should be around then, so... yeah.
- mafuyu and mizuki are both possible, though i think it's more likely mafuyu if either, since she's more due for a 4* than mizuki. mizuena got 4* cards in mizuki5 and ena5, so kanade being on NY and mafuyu on VD makes sense... to me!
when it comes to the OCs that already have 3/2* cards:
- honami feels more likely to be in WD if anything to me
- shizuku same thing, although i admit there's a chance it's her. she's a 2* compared to the other two here
- and touya was just last year, so it feels too fast to repeat if they even did repeats imo
this leaves, pretty much:
akito, tsukasa, mafuyu... yeah, my cursed lineup spec. maybe shizuku if they don't mind repeating characters that have already had VD cards?
a bit iffy for now on my specs, but tsukasa+mafuyu VD seems like a good bet
