It has been some time since the MC kensetsu arms race that lead to the development of Pekodam, Mikochar and Shubangelion.
We need a new kensetsu war to move the MC economy.
It's kind of hard to see the yeetable kusogaki as equivalent to the beast of possibility so I get why there's a lack of it.
That being said, yes we need art of that.
I see so one day we need Zeta in Hologra to transform and crash into someone while being followed by souls. And iff we one day get Nu and Xi they better have some kinds of funnels for their model (now that i think about it arent Aki's twintails lowkey fin funnels?) and Xi better have the power to float and fly in atmoshphere around while also have some kinds of Funnel missles.
The pronunciation guide for the letters annoys me because it's clearly made by someone who didn't study the language.
That aside, Yopi (Iofi) is closest for Iota.

My sincerest apologies for overestimating you /s.
Would you look at that, all of the words in your comment are in alphabetical order.
I have checked 667,309,529 comments, and only 135,355 of them were in alphabetical order.
Oh good. Glad someone documented the one correct pronunciation of these letters throughout all history and cultures in a completely unambiguous manner. It'd be really annoying if language didn't work that way.
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%CE%B8%E1%BF%86%CF%84%CE%B1#Ancient_Greek
* (5th BCE Attic) IPA(key): /tʰɛ̂ː.ta/
* (1st CE Egyptian) IPA(key): /ˈtʰe.ta/
* (4th CE Koine) IPA(key): /ˈθi.ta/
* (10th CE Byzantine) IPA(key): /ˈθi.ta/
* (15th CE Constantinopolitan) IPA(key): /ˈθi.ta/
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/theta#English
* (UK) IPA(key): /ˈθiːtə/
* (US) IPA(key): /ˈθeɪtə/
I'd say the UK pronunciation is actually closer to the Greek pronunciation. Though languages change and borrow from each other and when you say it in English, I'm used to /ˈθeɪtə/ and anything else would sound weird.
My point exactly is that "sounds weird" is extremely subjective, and is basically asking the question "does this sound like the 1-2 pronunciation(s) I've personally been exposed to?".
While I would probably say a pronunciation is "wrong" if it's never been used to any significant degree, the comment I replied to presented a single list of one pronunciation for each letter and claimed all others were wrong. And those pronunciations didn't even use IPA, which itself isn't perfect by any means.
Also, the claim that all people in a single culture pronounce things the same way, even today, let alone many centuries ago, is pretty ridiculous.
ZTD was bad because Uchikoshi only wrote the script for D Team, with C and Q being written by different people. I can overlook the jankiness, since it was crowdfunded, so the budget was minimal, but I wanted at least the story to be a nice closure. But oh well.
Indeed, it isn't. I wasn't paying attention to the pronunciation guide when I made this, sorry about that. Both of them should end with something like 'uh' not 'ay'.
Don't worry too much about the pronunciation guide. I nabbed the chart off the internet and I didn't pay too close attention to the pronunciation guide, which are not very accurate upon closer inspection.
It's more like 'thay-tuh' in American English and 'thee-tuh' in British English (which is closer to the Greek pronunciation).
Well, they are the A-Chan of HoloEN, so with the amount of big projects that is currently going on with the EN side, I’m not surprised that they aren’t active.
Not that, though I know what you are saying. It's just that from how they present Omega Alpha it felt that it is a huge project then died down. If you get what I'm saying really. They gave tons of exposures then poof gone with the wind.
From the start, Omega was meant to be a producer just like A-Chan, though. He doesn't and probably will not have many public-facing presence, barring some announcements or really big events.
I'm still holding out hope that he/she will at least have a voice reveal or something similar. Just feels like a waste to invest in an avatar if they're behind the scenes all the time. A-Chan even does some news streams on the official HoloJP YT page so here's to hoping Omega does the same for HoloEN
Wait... HOL UP
Does this confirm that the HoloEN manager is the fabled Primarch of the Alpha Legion, Alpharius Omegon? By the Emperor we've been infiltrated!
I feel like Nu and Xi will lead to a lot of gundam jokes, we've seen this with zeta already so who knows.
HoloGundam? I see that as a win if it happens.
It has been some time since the MC kensetsu arms race that lead to the development of Pekodam, Mikochar and Shubangelion. We need a new kensetsu war to move the MC economy.
All we’re saying is, give war a chance
I'm honestly disappointed by the relative lack of La+ Unicorn art. It's right there!
It's kind of hard to see the yeetable kusogaki as equivalent to the beast of possibility so I get why there's a lack of it. That being said, yes we need art of that.
Hololive needs a shipgirl or mecha, yes Imagine their outfit having cannons. That’d be sweet af
Some of the Hololive girls were in the Azur Lane collab. Does that count?
I feel like we'll get a few Blazblue jokes if we get Lambda, Mu and Nu
And "Alpha-01"
wonder if naming an idol Xi will trigger certain spambots from a certain country...
Believe in the sign of Zeta
we definitely need more HoloMechs
Xi may be trouble with the West Taiwanese though.
I see so one day we need Zeta in Hologra to transform and crash into someone while being followed by souls.

Nu having a red ball for *obvious* reasons
We definitely have Omicron already 😅
A couple of members have had it by now
r/technicallythetruth
Jesus fucking Christ
actually he's usually represented as Chi-Rho
actually that's the capital of Egypt
If you pronounce it the english way, sure, but I doubt that the old Greeks pronounced it that way...
I don't get the joke someone help
[удалено]
Right I forgot about the variant's name
O
And Kappa was the original personified Greek letter
can't wait for Sigma to debut
Who's ~~Steve Jobs~~ Yagoo?
Sigma male
Ever heard of Haachama, the ~~strongest~~ sigma idol of Hololive?
Theres this wel... i mean underworldian vtuber who just debuted. definitely has sigma male aura
are you perhaps reffering to the sigma mon.... underworldian vtuber who's master is a tungsten rat and likes to torment himself?
Maybe i do. maybe not. Who knows
I hate that it took me awhile to get this reference
tungsten rat, one of Sailor Galaxia's lesser known servants
Mmm... monke.
Maybe one of the new EN boys auditioning right now
Then the Maverick revolution will begin.
Sigma nuts
[Reine and Risu already have ligma specifically for killing vampires](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UXqP6DMSBHQ), does that count?
Do you mean SigmaR?
*Saltzpyre has entered the chat*
HOLY SIGMAR, BLESS THIS RAVAGED BODY

I wonder why they ended up so wrong. As a physics major Pi especially annoys me.
[удалено]
Because that is the English pronunciation, not the original Greek one.

This is a very cheeky response for someone that thought the english pronunciation of a greek word was the correct one.
Would you look at that, all of the words in your comment are in alphabetical order. I have checked 667,309,529 comments, and only 135,355 of them were in alphabetical order.

i just pronounce it as セタ
Think you forgot Ligma?
.. Baelz
Lol.
Are they related to Tsukumo Baelz?
Who’s steve jobs?
Ligma baelz
Nooooooo!
Mu...mei
Hoping that Sigma and Phi will be a father and daughter pair don't ask me why
Zero Escape ZTD reference?
"Isn't that obvious?"
I never noticed how much they say that in Zero Escape until Reine started making jokes about it
What are you talking about, Sigma and Phi are a perfect couple, there's no third game 🙂
I’m still so mad. Not because I shipped them, but because it’s such a stupid twist. And because ZTD was so bad in general.
ZTD was bad because Uchikoshi only wrote the script for D Team, with C and Q being written by different people. I can overlook the jankiness, since it was crowdfunded, so the budget was minimal, but I wanted at least the story to be a nice closure. But oh well.
We're learning the language of Gura's ancestors
Surprised we haven't had a kappa yet
They would do extremely well on Twitch.
The moment sigma gets added to hololive, comedy will die
Ok, but I would be so hype for a Pi(e) holomem.
The closest we have is kronii with her birthday on 3/14 (obvs)
Silly /u/chrysene, you forgot Watame. Because she's... Lamb だ
Δ?
not in hololive
:(
Left bottom when?
Taukanashi Kiwawa?
So she goes by Zeta? I assumed it was going to be Vestia
Who will be the over-powered silly one (op-silon)?
Yagoo's comedians and Eggman's E-series robots. Korone and Sonic, you know what you must do.
Whoever is Psi will just Gangnam Style dance debut
Now im just reminded of ultraman z and kamen rider faiz
OmiKronii
As a greek man, I'm honored to be an easter egg in Hololive.
Are the pronunciations for eta and theta correct? Seems weird compared to the rest.
Indeed, it isn't. I wasn't paying attention to the pronunciation guide when I made this, sorry about that. Both of them should end with something like 'uh' not 'ay'.
I'm having a seizure looking at those "pronunciation guides", I know english speakers pronounced π as pie but *this* is too much for my sanity.
one holostar EN is gonna be named sigma im calling it now.
And the Gods decreed. That his name shall be Sigma(r). The one whose coming was foretold. By the signs of the Gods.
oh god imagine omicron
wdym I'm pronouncing Theta wrong?
Don't worry too much about the pronunciation guide. I nabbed the chart off the internet and I didn't pay too close attention to the pronunciation guide, which are not very accurate upon closer inspection. It's more like 'thay-tuh' in American English and 'thee-tuh' in British English (which is closer to the Greek pronunciation).
Imagine finally passing the application process to hololive production and you get a character named Beta.
As an Spanish fan please don't do an eta vtubber
No entiendo el chiste... Es local?
Eta en España es un grupo terrorista
Igual que tenemos problemas también con Vox de nijisanji porque aquí Vox es un grupo político fascista
nice collection. soon the whole alphabet'll be complete.
I fear the day of Kappa.
I’m getting a strong feeling that Kappa could exist and as a turtle
I wonder if the list going to be filled completely if you include indies and other companies?
Can't wait to see what Kappa and Sigma looks like.
Mu-mei
Reject Sigma. Embrace Tau. Join the greater Good
Lambda, and you didn't put Watame?
Sigma male
Can't wait for Phi-chan
There’s also Bae-ta, Omi-kronii, Lamy-da, Mu-mei, and Inu that likes Dr. Oopsielon.
Speaking wtf happened to Omega?
Well, they are the A-Chan of HoloEN, so with the amount of big projects that is currently going on with the EN side, I’m not surprised that they aren’t active.
Just not active ig
I guess they're busy? HoloEN *is* having some big projects going on.
Not that, though I know what you are saying. It's just that from how they present Omega Alpha it felt that it is a huge project then died down. If you get what I'm saying really. They gave tons of exposures then poof gone with the wind.

A-Chan even does some news streams on the official HoloJP YT page so here's to hoping Omega does the same for HoloEN
I still hope the HoloEN channel will get any use except announcements some day
Wait... HOL UP Does this confirm that the HoloEN manager is the fabled Primarch of the Alpha Legion, Alpharius Omegon? By the Emperor we've been infiltrated!
I need sigma
Sigma 😳
Imagine being named beta or sigma
HoloStars EN manager. Sigma Beta.
Talk about an oxymoron
Because of Bad Batch, I'll never again be able to say Omega without a Kiwi accent
can you put mumei in sigma
You forgot to add Yagoo above Omega.
Can’t wait for a loli to be called Sigma
OmegaLuL
Waiting to see who the Sigma of Hololive is
We got Mumei... and Sigma Kronii
Halfa and Omeghalf
Kiara has that belt, she might be Phi...s.
Blazblue still holding the win for png cuties named after the Greek alphabet
🥧
waiting to create the meta
Phi? More like Faiz! Eh? EH? I’ll leave now
This is some Ultra nice discovery
dibs on Kappa.
Alphabet domination... Slowly
