“I had no idea what was happening,” she said, describing her initial reaction to the news as shock. One of her first thoughts after learning the truth was: “What are you doing? You idiot!” directed at Gaou.

She shared that many people reached out offering support and checking in on her well-being. From her perspective, it felt like she went to bed with everything normal, only to wake up and find “the entire city had been destroyed by a bomb.”

The Vtuber Sakuna Yuki Gaou situation has also hit her financially. She described the amount she used to pay Gaou as “insane,” and the consequences of this revelation are weighing heavily on her.

When asked if she would change her current model, Sakuna explained that she holds the copyright to her design and technically there’s no issue with continuing to use it. Still, she’s considering a change. “It’s a half-made decision,” she said, hinting at the possibility of either a redesign or alternative versions created by different illustrators.

Nothing is final yet, and as she put it, “only time will tell” what the future holds for her model.
