Victoria Brightshield, a member of Nijisanji EN, is set to graduate from the VTuber agency, marking the first departure since Hex Haywire left in August.
The date for Victoria’s graduation has been officially announced for November 9, 2024, which aligns almost perfectly with her debut on October 27, 2023.
This decision was made public via the agency’s official X/Twitter account, where it was shared: “Announcement – We regret to inform you that the NIJISANJI EN Liver Victoria Brightshield will graduate from NIJISANJI EN on November 9th, 2024 JST.”
The post continued by praising Victoria for her contributions and clarified, “After November 9th, 2024 JST, Victoria Brightshield will cease all her Liver activities,” indicating that she will stop streaming as part of Nijisanji and will privatize all her social media accounts.
【Announcement】We regret to inform you that the NIJISANJI EN Liver Victoria Brightshield will graduate from NIJISANJI EN on November 9th, 2024 JST. Thank you for your understanding and for your continued support of NIJISANJI and NIJISANJI EN. pic.twitter.com/rlDdzBfH0D

In response to the graduation announcement, Victoria shared a stream on her channel to give her audience further context regarding her decision.
Although Victoria didn’t specify what she was referencing, notable events seem to be influencing factors. She mentioned her inspirations, fellow Nijisanji members Pomu Rainpuff and Selen Tatsuki, during her debut stream.
Following Victoria’s comments, Pomu graduated in January 2024, and soon after, Selen faced a controversial termination, a situation that continues to impact Nijisanji’s international audience.
According to tracking by Social Blade, Elira Pendora, another star from Nijisanji EN, used to see monthly views ranging from 1,000,000 to 1,900,000, but this has since plummeted to around 350,000 per month post-Selen’s termination.
While Victoria didn’t experience the same decline in viewership, the overall situation has certainly posed challenges for her growth early on.
For fans wishing to stay connected with Victoria, they should consider following her previous channel, MoguGhost. After her graduation, it’s likely she will return to her previous pursuits, a common path for many who leave VTuber agencies, much like her inspirations did.
