After a Week of Nonstop Heists, Owarino Mukuro Learns Her GTA Gangmates Were Former Pros
The four-hour look back at the Surge City role-play server mixed tributes to each member of her green gang with clips viewers had sent in.
SPECIALITE — Owarino Mukuro spent most of a week committing crimes alongside her Grand Theft Auto role-play gang, and only on Sunday, during a stream looking back on the Surge City server, did she find out from her chat that several of her gangmates were former professional gamers. “I didn’t know at all,” she said, adding that it explained why they were so strong. “They’re all ex-pros.”
The Specialite talent opened the four-hour *zatsudan*, or chat stream, by saying she had gone outside that day for the first time in about a week, walking to a drugstore, after playing roughly 12 hours a day. She then went down the roster of the 12-member green gang, which the members named Utopia, praising one member’s steady temper, another’s helicopter flying, and a third’s clear explanations. She said she had nearly skipped Surge City after struggling with helicopters on the earlier Surge Town server, until a gangmate messaged her asking her to come. Because the gang moved straight from one crime to the next, she said, there was little downtime to learn about one another.
“I still don’t know everyone well, so I want to get to know them better.” — Owarino Mukuro, after introducing each member of her gang
About 50 minutes in, she switched to clips that viewers had sent, watching heists from her teammates’ points of view and remarking on how calmly they read the radio and the map. Some of the busiest minutes in chat came during clips of other streamers pressing her character, a reaper, on whether she pays taxes in Japan and how old she is, and a scene in which she insisted she is the kind of reaper who shows up in photos.
Chat joked about the gaps in her knowledge, with one viewer writing, “From now on, ask about work history during introductions.” Another wrote during the reaper clips, “Shutting it down by force is hilarious.” She read five Super Chats near the end, some of which asked for a reunion of the gang.
Owarino said she would take the next day off to rest and catch up on work, and would likely stream again on Wednesday, with the content still undecided.
