Plus, Kokona will not be remove, if she became a rival, she'll be Kizana. If she doesn't, then she'll be a normal NPC. Well Kizana sure looks like her (and Yanderedev's said that if Kokona becomes an official rival she will be way less likable so it fits).

The only two things I wonder about are -

(1) Will there still be a girl named "Kokona Haruka" at school? I guess that if there is, she will not look similar to the current Kokona, since that will cause confusion with Kizana. I also guess she'll be a normal NPC (presumably social butterfly) without any significance.

(2) What will happen with all the Kokona-specific scenes (the compensated dating call, the talk with Saki and obviously the befriending cut-scene) - Will they just be copy-pasted to Kizana? Will they be split among several rivals? Will they be removed completely? Only time will tell.
