 I saw that video quite a while ago, and while I don’t entirely disagree with her point I don’t see why we can’t have fun with the duplicate characters. Headcanons and world building are FUN (and one of the things keeping a decent chunk of the fandom interested in this undeveloped game). While I know that Rival chan isn’t actually Osana’s sister since that idea was scrapped, that doesn’t mean that people cannot enjoy viewing her as such… Even if Rival chan has no future in the game (I can’t see why she’s still hanging around if she has no future whatsoever) she’s still distinct from Osana. And no amount of people getting annoyed about it will change that.

I mean she’s pretty much the “Mascot Rival” (where as Kokona is a rival standin)... Rival chan’s the kind of person Ayano would have nightmares about coming and taking her senpai away, and her recurrences on the daydream-esque challenge menu only cements this further. She’s basically the default stabbable girl, which is why it kinda makes sense for her to resemble the first rival (though since she is a strawman who exists mostly for stabbing purposes she doesn’t have Osana’s character)... Rival chan is a non-character simply representing the idea of a rival. This is why she’s the “Indestructible Rival”. She’s a concept, not a person.
