[ENG SUB] Has Kuzuha Met Someone Similar to Kanae? [ChroNoiR/Nijisanji]

some lore
Wanted to translate more from their 3rd anniversary stream but I don't think I can because I'm kinda getting busy, so I decided to clip a short one.

"You forget the past, as new people come in" now I'm sad

[@user-ek1fo2ku9t]

why does kanae sounds like he's jealous lmfao

[@ru4382]

(he sounds like a girl trying to find out about her bf's exes)

[@chiiisssu]

LMAO FR

[@user-mm3iu7vf6i]

they ended their stream with a lore, the hell

[@yume8149]

whoever asked that, thank you.

*"You forget the past as new people come in"* Noo, I don't want forget the graduated Livers
Poor Kuzuha even Kanae's amnesia spreads to him now xD
Plot twist : *It was Kanae in previous life and he was a girl.*

It's about their lore

@@Cerita__Dunia I'm sure they're aware. No need to point the obvious.

[@whycchi5204]

I like how it's vague yet it feels heartbreaking at the same time... What the hell, of course they have to drop a lore bombshell just right before they end the stream (and everyone went crying after that lol)...
Thank you for the translation 🙇‍♀️

This soft Kuzuha is making my heart melt. Lorewise, there is no way he would be able to say that it was the same Kanae who died before.

[@elreyfenix100]

Lorewise, I'd like to think that Kuzuha refers to Kanae's past lives

[@hao9631]

He don't even remember what he ate for breakfast---
fr he might remember but that talk probably wasn't suitable on stream.

[@Necroneer]

Thought he'd get into more detail about it

[@yuuzelthyc9683]

Hshshhshhrkfklh Kanae probably knew but was still jealous of his past life

[@ka8281]

How many 'Kanae' did you know Kuzuha....

[@augustkoyos]

Omg I want to know too... Do anyone know?

[@blessu6902]

@@augustkoyos we need to count kanae's outfits😩

[@nozo4977]

@@augustkoyos it's said kanae's lived 4x up till now

[@kaikaikitan]

after this i like to think kanae asked kuzuha if it was really true aha

[@nonsensicalabyss]

I LOST MY MARBLES WHEN I HEARD THIS CAME UP IN THE STREAM... sasuga cnr...

[@farissaryhana]

im so confused why does kuzuha sound so different

[@cecilia9236]

Becuase this was a chill stream just hanging out at kanae´s house, in his normal streams he is more high tension

[@farissaryhana]

@@cecilia9236 ahh i see i see thanks for letting me know!

[@augustkoyos]

I would like to answer 'because he's with Kanae' but 🤷 oh well whichever suits you

[@Lulu_0809]

Is this lore?? Unexpected…

[@augustkoyos]

I like their lore, can someone do fanfic or comment me long explaination about it, please?

[@momo-5694]

Probably not complete, but basically:
Kuzuha first met Kanae 150 years ago, back when Kanae was a priest. Kanae passed away and proceeded to be reborn with different roles (without any memory of his previous lives) and pass away again several times throughout Kuzuha's life.
Kanae was reborn as a military soldier, a writer, etc (there's no exact detail, but you can see it in their MVs and such. Some fanworks even depict him as Kuzuha's adopted son in one of the rebirth cycles) and then reborn again as the current Kanae.
There are other related theories like Roto being involved in Kanae's amnesia and rebirth, but there's no exact detail for that either.
In this video, it's very ambiguous, but Kuzuha's answer might imply that he was thinking about the previous Kanae he'd met before he was reborn. Kanae's response might imply that he doesn't know about this. And Kuzuha doesn't say anything about it.
All of this is just the ChroNoiR lore you'd see in their MVs and other related content (the rebirth concept was used in Kanae's recent song cover though) so it's not at all their official lore as Nijisanji livers! It's just a very good story to consider when you're making fanworks and stuff
