Supposedly, she was meant to take up Poppin'Party's mantle and become BanG Dream!'s next "crown princess."
But then RAS, debuting in the same season's anime, stole the spotlight. She didn't even get a proper anime appearance, just got shoved into the game, accused of "cutting in line."
Her first Live was a disaster because the members weren't even ready and got pushed onto the stage anyway.
Add to that her personality, which is all kinds of unlikeable.
In the end, with the "crown princess" title slipping away, BanG Dream! slowed down due to COVID, and D4DJ siphoned off some resources. A few years later, the spotlight shifted to Tomoe Takasugi ,MyGO!!!!!and Ave Mujica, who basically revived the franchise, while she ended up stuck in limbo.
She’s the eternal loser, am I wrong?
Finally got an OVA, but it only highlighted her tripping out—picturing herself underwater with jellyfish and whales, turning random dogs into penguins, or getting swallowed by darkness when she’s down. Straight-up shroomer energy.
During BanG Dream!'s 10th anniversary stream re-airing the OVA, everyone was just obsessed with Soyo-Mutsumi in the background.
Mashiro Kurata’s fated to be cast aside as a loser, and for the "Mushroom Mountain Boss," doesn’t that suit her perfectly?
