PJSK 4.5 Anniversary Event Predictions
The announcement is coming out tomorrow. I probably should've done this earlier, but whatever I'm doing it now.
I'll mainly be talking about what I think the event will be and the accompanying Bloomfest cards that will be revealed.
Eventwise I think we're getting a vocaloid only event, like Connected through SEKAI's Cherry Blossoms or Resonate in The SEKAI! Your Song!, or we're getting Rui5.
I know ColoPale confirmed that there would only be one character focus per month before World Link starts, but I do not know what Limited Events are. I do not know if they are viewed as the last event of the month or the first event of the month. I know they technically start at the end of the month, but more often than not they end spending more time as the start of the month. So my predictions will be taking both possibilities into consideration.
If lim events are considered the last event of the month, I think it makes the most sense for us to get a vocaloid only event.
Two main reasons. Firstly, the last time we had a vocaloid only event was in 2023 with Resonate in The SEKAI! Your Song! (not counting World Link), and I think we're long overdue for another mixed vocaloid event. Secondly, we're going to get exclusively event stories for the next five or six monthish, I think they might just give the missing Vocaloid a hairstyle so they have free reign during the next five or six limited event stories to use whatever vocaloid they want.
Each Vocaloid is missing one hairstyle for a specific unit, MMJ Miku, VBS Luka, VBS Rin, N25 Len, WxS Meiko, and N25 Kaito do not have limited hairstyles. And I think they just want to get it over with so they can use any vocaloid for the lim events later on. Plus it's a good chance to get a unit boost for World Link if you don't have one.
Obviosuly, MMJ Miku and WxS Meiko are going to get cards if this were to happen. Miku might have more hairstyles than anyone but it's Miku, and it's also due to the Movie Cards and that one random hairstyle you could get from Gacha for some reason, so I think it's safe to say that she'll still get a card.
Between VBS Luka and VBS Rin I think Luka will get the lim card, cause Rin literally just got a Lim card in the last Lim event and I don't see Colopale giving her one back to back, she isn't Kohane after all.
Between N25 Len and N25 Kaito, I'm sure most of you are thinking Len cause Kaito has been getting so much love, while Len hasn't really done much in the 5th rotation, but I think N25 Kaito makes more sense for the Lim. I think they're going to use Len for Mafuyu6, which could be a Lim, since that event will probably be about Mafuyu and Mafumom and I feel like they're more likely to use Len for that even since he represents child Mafuyu or something like that. So N25 Kaito is my answer.
So the four stars will probably be: MMJ Miku, WxS Meiko, VBS Luka, and N25 Kaito.
All of L/N vocaloids have lim hairstyles already (we know colopales favorite), so it'll probably be L/N Rin as the three or two star (in spite of the fact she got a lim recently) because L/N Len has already travelled the SEKAI and taken part in a vocaloid mixed event, I don't think WxS Len has done anything recently so he might be there too.
That is if Lim events are seen as the last event of the month.
Rui5 confuses me, because the only time it could happen without a back to back WxS event is this month. We're getting VBS WL on April and WxS WL on May, and the only characters left for the fift rotation is Shiho, Honami, and Rui.
Whenever I try to envision when Rui5 will happen nothing works. Let's assume that Bloomfest will be a mixed event.
Bloomfest -> VBS WL -> Focus 1 -> Focus 2 -> WxS WL
Focus 1 being a Perm event while Focus 2 is a Lim event.
Rui5 isn't going to be Focus 2 obviosuly, cause that would just put it back to back with WxS WL which wouldn't work. It could be in Focus 1 cause Colopale gave Minori a lim only two events after the first MMJ WL and Haruka5 did only have two event between it and MMJ WL. I feel like only one event in between is stretching it, but it's definitely possible.
But colopale always makes sure that every unit has gotten an event before restarting the rotation, and I don't think they'll just skip WxS and suddenly restart. Rui5 has to happen at some point next month and it being Bloomfest just makes the most sense to me (This only works if Lim events are seen as the first event of a month).
There are many issues with this, mainly the fact that it's more likely that Lim events are seen the final event of the month, not the first. Also the fact that Tsukasa and Nene got cards recently, though Nene's was only a three star. Colopale's card distribution has been a lot wackier since WL though...
Whatever we'll find out tomorrow.
Now that the event had (kind of) been decided all that's left is the two characters who are getting Bloomfest cards.
We can eliminate everyone who has gotten one already. We can also probably eliminate all of VBS because they're definitely not getting Bloomfest cards right before their WL.
I'll eliminate Kanade, Ena, and Mafuyu since they're not getting back to back four stars. I want to say no to Tsukasa, Airi and Mizuki, but Minori and Tsukasa did get their Colorfes cards even though they had gotten four stars already that month, though there was an event between them and at that point there were limited choices regarding the characters who needed a Colorfes card. I'll keep them on for now, but unlikely.
We're getting rid of Saki and Emu, I do not think there had been an event where a character got a lim hairstyle in back to back months, there's at least been one lim event buffer. And lastly, no Airi or Shizuku, cause everyone else has 6-7 lim hairs while Airi and Shizuku already have 8 and I think they're gonna get everyone to seven first befor someone get their ninth (Miku does have 9 but she's a special case). We can also scratch Miku out cause they're definitely saving her bloomfest for the fifth anniversary.
That leavse us with Luka, Len, Kaito, Ichika, Honami, Shiho, Minori, Tsukasa, Nene, Mizuki.
We're left with 10 characters that could possibly get a Bloomfest card.
No Leo/need character has gotten a Bloomfest yet, so there's definitely going to be one of them there.
If the prediction for Rui5 is right, I think they just might abritrarily pair up a L/n member with a vocaloid.
If my prediction for Vocaloid mixed event is right, that just makes this a lot harder. The two characters who are paired up for Bloomfest should have some sort of relationship, like how An and Haruka are childhood friends (or that could be just a coincidence and I'm looking too deep into this). Or they just randomly pair up a character with a vocaloid (I do not associate Kanade with Meiko or Rui with Rin, feels like Rui and Mizuki should have gotten their Bloomfest together, whilr Kanade could have been with Honami).
None of these characters have that much of a connection in my mind, and I can't use a vocaloid since I've used them all in this event. Weirdly enough I think the best option is Shiho and Minori, they have a couple events together, they're prettt good friends, and one of Minori's events Shiho and Kohane played a very important role. I think it could work.
So those are my predictions, I'll probably be very wrong and the reveal tomorrow will probably show that it's a mixed event featuring Rui, Shiho, and Luka or something like that, but whatever it was fun.
Two possible predictions:
Four Star: MMJ Miku, VBS Luka, WxS Meiko, N25 Kaito
Bloomes: Shiho and Minori
2. Rui5 with L/N + Random Vocaloid Bloomfes
