The story
In a chat thread on 5ch’s Nandemo Jikkyō (Live Commentary) board, a post comparing the stock prices of ANYCOLOR, which runs Nijisanji, and Cover, which runs Hololive, caught users’ eyes. Around the release of ‘Holodori,’ ANYCOLOR’s share price climbed from ¥2,490 to ¥2,830, while Cover’s fell from ¥1,692 to ¥1,501 — sparking a flood of panicked replies from thread regulars along the lines of ‘Delete this, delete this, delete this, delete this, delete this.’
The same thread also drifted into other topics, from reactions to Shokuhou Misaki’s new ability design to a debate over the merits of a war film.
What people said
Kind of like Kamijou's dragon thing?
Thought she wasn't wearing anything under there
Why's she holding a remote control?

Delete this, delete this, delete this, delete this, delete this

Picking Luna in the first round, what were they thinking?

'If We Could Meet Again on That Hill Where the Flowers Bloom'
That movie had me sobbing
A masterpiece — cries harder than The Eternal Zero
Is it really that much of a tearjerker?
Don't act all cynical just to seem cool
You should've grown out of that phase back in middle school
'Cynical,' huh? (mocking the previous poster's phrase 斜に構える, "acting jaded")
Films that go for cheap tearjerking just crack me up lol
Seriously, both its content and its legacy are garbage
Platoon was heavily influenced by Grave of the Fireflies too, right?
Foreign films weren't influenced by Grave of the Fireflies at all
Honestly, a laughable movie like that — playing the victim and basically begging 'please cry right here' — was never going to land with overseas audiences anyway
Everyone has a driver's license though
Plenty of people don't, you know
Are you dissing broke dropouts who quit driving school? (オケラ = slang for "broke/penniless")

Background and Key Points
ANYCOLOR (which operates the Nijisanji VTuber agency) and Cover Corp (which operates Hololive) are two of the very few “VTuber talent agency” stocks on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, both having gone public on the exchange’s Growth Market within months of each other in 2022. Because they are essentially the only pure-play proxies for the Nijisanji-versus-Hololive rivalry that has played out on forums like 5ch for years, their daily share prices function as an informal scoreboard for fans on both sides, in a way almost no other entertainment stock does.
The thread didn’t really argue over whether the numbers in the post were accurate — nobody disputed the ¥2,490→¥2,830 and ¥1,692→¥1,501 figures. The split was over how much weight to put on them: the original poster framed it as a real, gloat-worthy shift in fortunes tied to the Holodori release, while the “delete this ×5” repliers treated the comparison itself as an embarrassment best made to disappear rather than something worth debating on the merits.
What’s easy to miss if you don’t follow Japanese small-cap trading is that both companies sit on the Growth Market, where thin trading floats and a retail investor base that overlaps heavily with each company’s own fanbase make short-term swings of this size routine and largely disconnected from any single release. Neither poster raised the possibility that the move reflects ordinary volatility, earnings-cycle noise, or buyback activity rather than a verdict on either franchise’s actual momentum.
