An idol's unofficial return to the stage, and another's search for the truth.
Get Funky With Your Favorite Hololive Girls!
HoloFunk: Hololive Funkin'
is a Hololive-themed Friday Night Funkin' Game Mod-turned-original Fan Game led by Codexes. Having started life as a simple asset-swap crossover mod for FNF, it would go on to evolve into an overhaul mod and later an independent Unity fangame featuring the cast of hololive as opponents and cameos alike, with songs included in the Weeks being remixes of the talent's songs, remixes of pre-existing songs outside of hololive (such as Kiryu Kai Forever featuring Yakuza songs to Homage the game series and to serve tribute to Kiryu Coco) and original songs. Up to 8 Weeks are included in 6.0, counting the Crossover Week with VS Camellia and the (canon) Ninomae Ina'nis week.
Over a year after her departure, ex-talent Mano Aloe decides it's time to strike out on her own. But a problem quickly arises: how do you build your own career from scratch? She, at the behest of ex-genmate and Implied Love Interest Momosuzu Nene, decides to find Tokino Sora to get some advice, but Hololive's first idol is nowhere to be found after a long tour. So the duo decides to get searching; as the rest of Hololive's quirky cast is drawn to them, Hilarity Ensues.
Prior to 6.0, the story of HoloFunk was vastly different from current versions of the game, containing enough unique tropes to warrant its own page as a separate work. To see those, click here.

- Astrogirl - sana
- Lazyroop - okayu
HoloFunk provides totally-seiso examples of:
- 20 Minutes into the Past: Though the full assembly of the game's story began during the summer of 2021 when it takes place in-universe, 6.0.0 being released in 2023 renders the setting this trope even after its revisions. The dates align as well, with Week 1's date of July 16th being a Friday (that date was also a Friday in 2021.)
- Achievement System: Version 5.0 onwards, with the addition of GameJolt integration, added Achievements that are typically earned by completing songs in story mode or freeplay.
- A.K.A.-47: Botan's AK-47 rifle seen in Week 3 is labelled "SSR-47" (presumably standing for, ShiShiRon-47) on the receiver.
- The Alleged Car: Botan's iconic shopping cart from her Trials: Rising streams appears in Week 4, carrying all of NePoLaBo zooming alongside, giving their former gen-mate Aloe Mano moral support.
- Amusing Injuries: 6.0.0 "upgrades" Polka's treatment on the shopping cart with her genmates to this, with Week 4's dialogue being updated to mention her getting knocked out from whiplash and the loading screen for "BIG SHOT" showing her getting hit by a Pipis and flung into the abyss of the Cyber World.
- Another Dimension: Wherever Haachama takes Aloe/Fubuki in "Red And Black". While it appears that Haachama merely kidnapped the protagonists and brought them to her kitchen, with the implication it was All Just a Dream, the Week 5 clear achievement is titled "Haachama Dimension", suggesting this trope is in effect.
- April Fools' Day: Exclusive to the version 2.1.0 build is a different collection of various "joke sprites." Examples include:
- The opening title reading "hollow knight FUNKY".
- Calliope getting a Poggers face, just like what Calliope Mori did for the end of one stream; plastering a "Callipog Mori" image over her face.
- Ame and Gura being depicted as their "smol" counterpart, not just limited to their miss animation.
- Nene's face getting put on the speaker, with a purple Crewmate twerking on top.
- Botan being a mess of various sprites; her idle glitching with her face getting the worst of it, her down pose being two of her 3D model renders in one, and her up pose / one part of her idle replacing her head with Pico. note
- Finally Aloe herself who, while not subject to much craziness in comparison to the others, doesn't seem to know how to process any of this. Though, her losing character icon looks a little sus.
- Artistic License – Gun Safety:
- Averted. Botan practices good trigger discipline while holding her Kalshnikov rifle in all previous versions featuring her prior to the redesign, in which she keeps her rifle holstered on her back while rapping Aloe and Fubuki.
- Coco also keeps her finger off the trigger of her pistol, but unlike Botan, waves it around recklessly while singing.
- Art Shift:
- There are brief moments in Week 2 where the sprites of Gura and Amelia switches to Walfie's "smol" style, punctuated with soundbytes of Ame's "H I C"s or Gura's signature "a". These elements get used again when Gura and Amelia are particularly terrified in cutscenes.
- Week 6's background and the characters appearing in it use the unadulterated art styles of several artists on the team (confirmed to be a mix of CJ, Grand Hammer 6, and RadioactShark's styles), as it's set in a video game. The result is everyone being drawn in a more Animesque manner slightly out-of-sync with the way non-Super-Deformed characters are portrayed in the FNF artstyle, Aloe/Fubuki and Nene/Mio included. This naturally stops once the console breaks and Aloe/Fubuki needs to face down Korone.
- Update 6.5.0 is set to introduce an adaptation of King Kman's "Challeng-EDD" animation, retaining the art style used for that video.
- There are brief moments in Week 2 where the sprites of Gura and Amelia switches to Walfie's
- Ascended Extra: Mano Aloe, a short-lived retired member of hololive, takes the spotlight in this Game Mod as the playable character.
- Ashface: The losing sprite of Botan in the Week C features an animation of the SSRB exploding in her hand, leaving her with a blackened face with visible beady eyes staring ahead in pure disbelief.
- Ass Shove: Implied. One of the background images in the 4.0 main menu features art of a very excited Coco preparing one of her infamous Plug-In-Type Asacoco™ in front of a terrified Aloe.
- Ax-Crazy: Haachama barely looks to be holding it together in her Week 2 and 5 appearances, having twitchy Empty Eyes throughout.
- Bait-and-Switch: Akai Haato's song "Haachama", starts off as the peppy love song "Red Heart", before slowing to a crawl and subsequently being replaced with a horror themed mix of "Haachama Cooking" with elements of the former song slipping in later on.
- Battle in the Center of the Mind: "Red and Black" partially evokes this trope with the battle taking place in the mysterious "Haachama Dimension." Though not fully explained whether or not it is a separate location or a mind attack, Aloe and Nene (or Fubuki and Mio) eventually do escape.
- Boss Warning Siren: The "spell card time limit" warning sound from Touhou Project is sampled towards the end of Haachama's song in Week 2, as the tempo starts to accelerate faster and faster.
- Brought to You by the Letter "S": Polka's outfit for this mod ditches the color motifs of her original appearance for a black bomber jacket with the letters "POL" written in large gold letters on both sleeves.
- Brutal Bonus Level: After Week 5, an additional song opens up in the extras menu detailing the immediate aftermath. Aloe and Nene decide to go to an isolated grotto to practice singing, only for Rushia to show up and reveal that it's her territory. After initially threatening to kick their asses, she settles to challenge them in a rap battle over the death metal song "Killer Scream." The song in question does not pull any punches in comparison to the five weeks throughout, due to Rushia's singing (and memetic screaming) draining your health throughout the song, forcing you to get a good hit-rate note to survive her verses all the way to the end. Especially the end.
- The Cameo: HoloCouncil appears on a poster in the Week 5 mall.
- Cameo Cluster: Like the vanilla version, Week 5 features a large cast of characters watching over the holiday-themed rap battle with Takamori. The upper level includes Pico, A-Chan, YAGOO, ENMa-Chan, Oga, Arurandeisu, Blantad, Boyfriend, Girlfriend, Camellia, Koefficient, Cr1TiKaL, Destiny, Nyanners, Towa, Roboco, Risu, Haachama in disguise and Pikamee. The Holo-members watching on the same floor include Shiranui Flare, Shirogane Noel, IRyS, Houshou Marine, Minato Aqua and Hoshimachi Suisei.
- Can't Drop the Hero: A variant; if a song uses unique assets for whoever's singing and/or doesn't use Boyfriend's voice, the playable character for it can't be replaced in freeplay.
- Contrived Coincidence: The Fubuki Side is largely a retread of Aloe's route; meeting up with the exact cast of characters in the general same location with the same songs to accompany Fubuki's "hunting the mysterious thief" plotline. Some of is at least Justified note , but you still have stuff like the NePoLaBo cruising through the same street on a shopping cart in Week 4, meeting up with Fubuki and Coco rapping on top of a moving limousine like Aloe and Coco did before.
- Comedic Work, Serious Scene: Mio's inferred Disney Death in Week 5 is taken completely seriously, despite the comedic plot of the rest of the game.
- Cool Mask: Botan partially dons a kabuki-style cat mask in her Week 3 appearance. The wanted posters in the same level, as well as the initial character portraight, also features her fully wearing it.
- Cover Version: Week 4's Cinderella is basically Coco's (drunk) karaoke cover of 24-Hour Cinderella, originally sung by Majima Goro in Yakuza 0.
- Creator Cameo: Destiny Omáda, the alter ego of HoloFunk's music director GGalactigal, makes an appearance in the crowd alongside the many other cameos present in Week 5.
- Crossover: Received one with Vs. Camellia in 5.0, with both mods receiving their own versions of "Lioness Pride," a single by Botan which Camellia had a hand in composing. On the former mod's side, the mod's cast finally meets Boyfriend in person... although there's a reason Kenji from 5.0 and below wasn't supposed to be him, as he doesn't register their presence until Botan is halfway through introductions.
- Demoted to Extra: Boyfriend and Girlfriend are nowhere to be found in the mod's story outside of their cameo in Week 5, and are merely a cosmetic option for Aloe and Nene in freeplay when it comes to the foreground. All content related to them outside of this largely consists of novelty trivia that has no bearing on gameplay, and they cannot be brought into any song that either does not use his voice or uses alternate character sprites. That being said, the reworked "Test" throws them a bone by being the song required to unlock them and making their use mandatory there.
- Department of Redundancy Department: To learn of the codes used for accessing different MV songs, you must input "password" into the hidden password menu, upon which it'll ask you to input the randomly presented song code.
- Developer's Foresight: If you play as Nene in Freeplay for songs "Tutorial" and "iCarly", where she normally sings with Aloe, the singing roles will be appropriately reversed: Nene taking the lead and singing first with Aloe following suit.
- Early-Installment Weirdness:
- The mod as a whole started life as a simple sprite-swap for FNF in the first 'Beta' version that replaced Boyfriend with Aloe in her classic design, as it was a tribute to Mano Aloe after her unfortunate early graduation. Later on in life it would evolve into a much larger in scale mod with overhauled Weeks that feature the hololive cast as opponents/cameos, with whole new songs replacing the pre-existing ones.
- The mod's sprites originally intended to give each talent featured their original outfits from hololive proper. Aloe and Nene's redesigns for launch and later the mod's entire art direction would instead give them casual clothes they'd hypothetically wear (assuming they don't already have an urban life outfit, like with Calli).
- The first depiction of Aloe, Nene and Calli all depict them with Skintone Sclerae like BF and GF in vanilla, before the above mentioned launch would move away following the change in art direction. This minor design aspect would later be included in Doki Doki Takeover!'s Plus update, presumably to match up with the designs of the characters in DDT.
- Easter Egg:
- While there's little to no reason to play the untouched vanilla Weeks in the early versions prior to 5.0, trying to do so for Week 6 reveals the dialogue has changed to reference the infamous Grubhub commercial.
- Camellia's unique Game Over theme is "Seethe," a remix of "Baka Mitai." However, there's a very low chance it'll replace Aloe or Fubuki's own themes upon losing in place of the original game's Gitaroo Man easter egg, which earns an achievement.
- Using the debug tools to play as Botan in Week 2 reveals that she will simply glance at her partner in amusement during the thunderclaps, referencing her legendary impervious to Jump Scares.
- There is a 1/4096 chance (3/4096 with the Shiny Charm purchased) that Fubuki will start a song as "shiny," which primarily turns all shades of blue in her sprites red and references her shiny-hunting streams in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl.
- Expressive Shirt: Watson wears a Minecraft-themed chain that changes blocks depending on her sprite's mood during cutscenes. It starts out as a normal Grass block, but becomes a TNT block whenever she is angry or vexed.
- Failed a Spot Check: The mall Santa being held at gunpoint in Week 5 has his role filled by Ina in this mod. Why her of all people when Calli and Kiara are the week's opponents? Because Calli legitimately thought she was the real deal based only on a hat and fake beard.
- Fictional Video Game: The setting of Week 6 mostly takes place within the unnamed High School AU themed game played by the holomembers, with its player interactive nature (to the point of rap battles in game being just as feasible like in real life) implying it to be something like The Metaverse.
- Frying Pan of Doom: Haachama carries one on her other hand in her appearance, alluding to her status in hololive as a Cordon Bleugh Chef.
- Funny Background Event:
- After "RIP" of Week 1, Nene admits to starting an impromptu livestream of Aloe and Calli's rap battle, showcasing her stream with her avatars (plural) covering the whole screen to hide them both. One of the smaller details in the stream setup is the messages in chat, including a user named "EatingMikeTyson'snote " using superchat; asking Nene to say "Hi, honey!"
- Throughout Week 4 against Kiryu Coco features the rest of Generation Five in a shopping cart riding alongside the limo they're on. While Coco and Aloe (or Fubuki) are rapping with Botan and Nene listening in, Lamy is sleeping drunk and poor Polka's hanging on for dear life.
- Week 4's background dancers are replaced with Coco's grunts; ": ^ )"-faced people, originating from the "Quantum Chicken Soup Grass Big Chungus" meme of Coco's Reddit Shitpost Review, who'd become a representation of the redditors of r/hololive who deliberately trigger Coco's hatred of poorly-done Japanese with memes that feature Japanglish and Stylistic Suck translations.
- Four-Fingered Hands: Averted; compared to the base game, which give the Super-Deformed characters four fingers, all characters have five fingers on each hand, including those who are Super-Deformed.
- Gratuitous Japanese: This mod's equivalent to the "SHIT" rating note in the vanilla version is instead "YABAI", the Japanese equivalent of the "Oh, Crap!" phrase.
- Homoerotic Subtext: While not making use of outright Ship Teases unlike Journey to Stardom, The Adventures of Detective Fubuki deliberately portrays Fubuki and Mio as Like an Old Married Couple in this manner.
- Informed Location: Week 6 provides conflicting information on where "D.O.O.G." is taking place in. The dialogue suggests the room is in Korone's house, but the actual background is filled to the brim with things associated with Nene.
Guest composer MAKYUNI suggests this was a developer oversight. - Interface Screw:
- In the second song of Week 1 ("RIP") from an earlier version, the camera zooms in to match Calli's "fuck it", and her own beatmap vanishes, leaving the player with Aloe's own and forcing them to react instead of watching Calli's verses for prompts. This did not get retained when the song was moved to Freeplay.
- The final song of Week 5 causes the arrows to sway, tilt, and shake. It also introduces broken heart notes that force a combo break should you touch them while permanently reducing your total HP.
- Rushia's song "Killer Scream" features the entire screen shaking whenever she hits her death-metal notes, which also hits your hitpoints harder as well.
- "D.O.O.G." liberally shakes the screen to show Korone's rage. When Aloe begins rocking out, the player's interface shifts to accommodate a 5th key (that the player's prompted to map before starting the song).
- Interface Spoiler:
- The third song of Week 2: "Haachama", which is plainly listed like any other song on the Week select screen. Those unfamiliar with hololive might not think much about it, but for those who do...
- Averted with Week 6, as its true contents aren't shown on the Week select until it's properly cleared, with the above image replacing Roberu with Okayu.
- Kaizo Trap: "Killer Scream" ends on Rushia letting out a bloodcurdling scream. The mechanics of the level will cause this ending scream to inflict a massive amount of damage, and if you haven't left Aloe/Fubuki with a great advantage by that time, it will deliver defeat mere seconds before the level ends.
- The Last Dance: The additional fourth song "Hands" in Week 4 can be seen as this as a tribute to Kiryu Coco, who 'graduated' from being an idol in hololive on July 1st, 2021. The stage also takes a night time appearance befitting the festive, yet somber mood. By the fifth update, it also serves as this In-Universe, as she's formally retiring from the Yakuza lifestyle to move on to another life.Coco: "GOOD NIGHT, MOTHER FU●KER..."
- Later-Installment Weirdness:
- For various in-universe and out-of-universe reasons, older iterations of the story drew more attention to Aloe and Coco's graduations. 6.0.0, on the other hand, is written in such a way that the issue is sidestepped entirely in favor of a more diverse set of topics.
- 6.0 makes Aloe and Nene's romantic feelings for each other less overt than 5.0, most notably replacing the Un-Confession using an attempt at the "the moon is beautiful" stock line at the beginning of Week 3 with the two simply eating takoyaki together on the roof. However, it's been implicitly confirmed this isn't actually downplaying them whatsoever.
- Due to the entire fallout and subsequent rewrites to HoloFunk's lore and story, it is now vastly different compared to everything pre-6.0.0. Non-story elements from that iteration that did not transfer over include:
- A CG after Week 2 that parodies those found at the end of Hologra episodes. Although its removal is likely because of a Meaningful Background Event meant to reveal a major plot point in the old lore, no replacement was created. Instead, the loading screen for "Haachama" features a similar shot drawn by Zarkion, with the obsolete details adjusted accordingly.
- Dialogue being present at all before "Lalion"/"Run & Gun" and "Poi"/"Merc'd" in Aloe's route.
- Week 3 in general simply being a remix of Week 3 from the original FNF; 6.0 replaces them with original songs.
- Coco's bar only being visited in Fubuki's route; both protagonists now visit it in story mode.
- Aloe and Fubuki's routes being separate downloads: with 6.0, they are now packaged together.
- Until 6.0, the mod's soundtrack only used Boyfriend's voice for the player's vocals, allegedly out of respect for Aloe. Most songs made during and after 6.0 bit the bullet and used vocals made from Aloe and Fubuki's voices, the former of which was created by now-playtester Blantados and used by himself and others for over a year with minimal complications.
- Maximum HP Reduction:
- What the broken heart notes in Haachama's "Red and Black" and her EX songs will do if they're hit, along with darkening the screen. They also count as a miss for the purposes of achievements.
- For Week 6, Okayu features her "Mogu Mogu" chibi devouring the health bar at one point in both of her songs, widening the risk of failure from missing notes.
- Pokémon Speak: All of Haachama's rap vocalizations are variations of the syllables in her name, "HAA-CHA-MA".
- Production Throwback: The game features a song that is a collaboration with Saster, is a heavy-metal piece, and has the Player Character randomly pull out a guitar at various points, with the strumline adjusting in key count to match. Are we talking about "D.O.O.G," or "Discharge?"
- "Psycho" Strings: Occurs a few times during Haachama's titular song, highlighting her psychotic nature.
- Reckless Gun Usage: Coco is seen waving her pistol around in Week 4 while dancing and singing. While the trigger discipline is slightly more reassuring, it's still wholly unwise, lightly putting it.
- Retcon: As this mod is in constant development, certain aspects end up changing from version to version. In particular, version 6.0 would mark a drastic case of this, wiping all crossover content in the game's story (including primary reference material) off the grid and adjusting in-game material to compensate.
- Ship Tease: The Tutorial song for Journey to Stardom features Aloe blushing as she sings for Nene, with this scene preceded by Aloe being touched by Nene gifting her the Aku-Mic that she kept safe since last time Aloe's gotten into singing. Week 5 also has Nene getting handsy while helping Aloe change into her Christmas outfit, complete with heart eyes and Perverted Drooling.
- Shout-Out:
- The preview trailer for HoloFunk 5.0.0 parodies Super Smash Bros. Ultimate's method of showcasing its crossovers, showing off the game's title logo alongside "Takamori" split up by an X. The latter title shortly afterward changes to Friday Night Funkin': Vs Camellia, revealing the Crossover with the mod in question.
- The Freeplay art of Amelia and Gura have them posing, JoJo style.
- The art for Week 4 select screen features a recreation of a scene in Puni Puni☆Poemi, with Coco as Shii Asu and Aloe as Poemi Watanabe.
- Due to Calli's love for Persona 3, once to the point she spent two hours continuously begging ATLUS to allow her the streaming rights to the game without pause, there are many references to Persona 3 included alongside her.
- Whenever she's encountered during cutscenes, the UI completely changes to the game's own, from the different dialogue box and font to the date and time-frame in the upper right corner.
- Week 1's first song "Live Again" is actually a remix from SiIvaGunner's rip of Joy from the Persona 3 OST, which is actually a mashup of the former song and Mori's own single Live Again.
- The gun she wields in Week 5 is called a D.E.E.S Evoker, named after the SEES Evoker. Aloe even lampshades that the gun name brings to mind a game series Calli likes, nearly name dropping Persona 3 before being interupted.
- Week 3's loading screen intentionally bears a passing resemblance to the artstyle of Friday Night Shootin', having been drawn by the same person who created a skin mod for FNS combining the two's aesthetics.
- Coco's week one a large collection of references to the Yakuza series, to the point of Homage.
- Like Calli with Persona 3, The dialogue box throughout the week is styled after Yakuza: Like a Dragon's, with the character portraits appearing out of the 'tears' from the sides instead of just above the dialogue box.
- Aloe's first encounter with the henchmen, complete with the exact quote and Aside Glance, references a sequence in Yakuza: Like A Dragon where the main character encounters a foreigner who speaks English.
- Upon making her appearance, Coco's mugshot grays out with red Boss Subtitles of her name and profession appearing, just like in Yakuza whenever a major character makes an appearance.
- After Fubuki questions Kiryu Coco about someone they've been looking for, a popup titled "Side Story: A Bumbling Detective" appears, akin to mid-dialogue side-quests in Yakuza. By the end of week, the same pop-up shows up again, this time showing "quest completed."
- The first two songs in Week 4, "Friday Night" and "Cinderella" are direct renditions of popular songs from Yakuza 0 (Friday Night and 24-hour Cinderella respectively); the latter one was directly sampled from one of Coco's private-only karaoke streams. The last song "Hands" is from Yakuza 6, the final karaoke song unlockable for Kiryu; a fitting farewell song dedicated to Coco and her graduation.
- The patch notes for 4.0.0 claiming to have removed "Haachama" brings to mind a retired Running Gag for the patch notes of Minecraft mentioning to have "Removed Herobrine".
- When Botan pulls up to the limos in Week 4 in the shopping cart, she announces her presence with the horn Stock Sound Effects from Ed, Edd n Eddy.
- From Week 5:
- Aloe asks if it really is Santa Claus at this time of year, in this part of the country, localized entirely within a shopping mall.
- Kiara and Calli's shirts read "SHE'S MINE" and "SHE'S CRAFT" respectively, in other words...
- Aloe getting ahold of Calli's gun is presented in the same way evidence is obtained in Ace Attorney, with the "evidence" having its own description:D.E.E.S Evoker
A modelgun "wielded" by Calliope Mori. Why she thought it be effective - let alone lethal - is anyone's guess.
- One of the loading screens for "Paintbucket" shows Iofi drawing the "wawa cat" (real name Kotaro) as he appears in the "oh, the misery" memes.
- There is a poster for Doki Doki Takeover! on the wall of Korone's room.
- The preview trailer
- Shows Damage: If her health is low enough, Aloe will appear visibly stressed in her sprites, complete with her visibly sweating.
- Sound-Effect Bleep: Present in two of Coco's songs original to her, "Gangmari" and "Weather Hackers". While the latter does prominently feature her swearing for the chorus of said song, this mod's version of the song plays the vocals in the games signature Beep Boop Bops, meaning there's no real reason for the censor bleep other than for laughs.
- Soundtrack Dissonance: While two of her songs avert this trope, Haachama's later attempts at wanting to turn the girls into her dishes are set to groovy, catchy music such as "Red and Black". While her Week 2 introductory song, "Haachama(-chama)", does initially start off as a straight rip of her single "Red Heart", it shortly transitions into a horror themed song with a constantly changing tempo — from slow and menacing to a frantic rush ridden with "Psycho" Strings and Boss Warning Sirens. The music that plays in the cutscene before "Haachama" is also this, as it sounds very ubpeat in contrast to Haachaama's desire to turn everyone present into her dishes.
- The Stinger: The end of the Week 4 trailer showcases the in-game encounter with Haachama. Except instead of singing, her dialogue is the infamous "My Feet Stink" declaration, followed by Aloe suddenly getting Game Overed in response.
- Streamer-Friendly Mode: A variant. The Adventures of Detective Fubuki, originally a route with it's own Boyfriend incarnation, was originally created to facilitate potential playthroughs of the mod by the actual hololive talents due to the main story placing the graduated Aloe front and center, which is generally speculated by the community to be a sensitive subject. With the combination of both routes into a single file, 6.0.0 plays it straight by offering an alternate build explicitly meant for use by talents.
- Suddenly Voiced:
- Calli's first week of songs utilizes her original songs vocals.
- Coco's "Cinderella" is pulled from her singing "24-Hour Cinderella" in an unarchived drunk karaoke stream.
- Getting a Game Over against Haachama has her act as a Game-Over Man; using up to seven different voice clip quotes pulled from various sources. By the final verse of "Haachama EX," Haachama says "You guys are degenerates!" to signal the sudden health drain.
- Token Mini-Moe: While a few of the hololive cast appear Super-Deformed in this game, Aqua in Week 5 stands out due to appearing next to the other hololive girls cameoing alongside her in the week, appearing much shorter in comparison.
- Translation Convention: Much of the cast are native Japanese speakers, but here the dialogue is entirely in English for the audience/player to read. Though, the only indication to the audience that this is happening is with Aloe's encounter with a Kiryu Clan goon, having the former remarking that the latter is speaking English (while in English).
- Truer to the Text: Well, for a given definition of "text." Compared to 5.0.0, 6.0.0's rebooted story returns focus to hololive proper, and is stated to avoid getting other works, Original Characters, and possible ties to the real world involved.
- Waxing Lyrical: Doubling as a one-liner, Calli quotes the opening chorus of "Off With Their Heads" to Aloe when she reveals she was holding back in the previous songs, before getting into the final song, which was previously a remix of said song in versions prior to 6.0.Calli: Welcome to the mountaintop, senpai.
