Pekora, Marine and Vivi Grade 40 Cheating Scenarios and Split on Where the Line Is

HOLOLIVE — Usada Pekora, Houshou Marine and Kikirara Vivi of Hololive’s FLOW GLOW spent 100 minutes on Tuesday grading the 40 scenarios of a “cheating-judgment sheet,” a checklist of situations involving a partner’s contact with someone of the opposite sex or with an ex. The three landed on very different standards, and by the end Pekora was calling herself the heaviest of them.

Each item offered three answers: 1 for cheating, 2 for not cheating but unpleasant, and 3 for completely fine. The sheet had been getting a lot of attention, and Pekora said she had wanted to try it with these two. She said she had first invited Vivi, with Marine’s sore throat in mind, which Marine protested before being let in. Pekora then staged a mock poem about having to choose between the two of them.

“I might actually be the heaviest of us.” — Usada Pekora, after saying she would rather her partner had no friends of his own

The first item, a one-on-one lunch with an opposite-sex colleague, set the pattern. Pekora and Vivi both answered 2, and Vivi said work lunches were fine. Marine said she would let it pass but that each such event would put a crack in her heart, and that she would leave only when her heart could no longer take it. Pekora said that for her one offense is enough to end things, while Vivi said she would blow up on the spot but probably would not break up. All three called late-night drinks with an opposite-sex coworker cheating, and all three gave the same answer to a secret nickname shared with an opposite-sex friend.

Pekora said she did not understand the idea of an opposite-sex friend at all, and at one point said she would like her partner to have no friends. Vivi, by contrast, kept choosing 3 for kind acts such as giving a present or lending a jacket, saying she would feel proud of a partner who did them. The other two teased her for it, warning she was setting herself up to be cheated on, and the word “proud” became a running joke in chat. Vivi also said she dislikes social media posts of selfies.

Near the end they asked whether their answers would change if they were the one in the situation. Pekora said hers would not, while Vivi said hers would, because she could not ignore a greeting from an ex. Asked which item bothered her most, Marine named a partner going to meet a friend who was feeling low, which she said could be enough for her to leave. The three closed by telling viewers to use the sheet and imagine which of them would fail each item. The stream drew 15 Super Chats.
