Kaida Haru Heads Into a Break of Just Over 10 Days After a Long Genshin Impact Stream

The Nijisanji streamer said the stream was his last before the break and that he is resting for reasons other than illness.

Kaida Haru, a Nijisanji (VΔLZ) streamer, said on Nov. 2 that he will take a break of a little over 10 days starting the next day, with his next stream likely on Nov. 15. He spoke about the break at the start of a nearly four-hour Genshin Impact stream and confirmed the plan at its close.

He opened by acknowledging the talk online after a ‘coming soon’ notice, and said the timing of his break was tied to it. He wanted viewers to know where things stood before he stepped away, he said, which is why this stream was the last before the break. Specifics, he said, would be shared at the proper time, and he described his mood as ‘let’s do fun things again from here.’ He added that he is not taking the break because he is unwell, and that he might meet friends for a meal but mostly wants a slow stretch of time.

After that he turned to Genshin Impact (原神), picking up Archon Quest Chapter 7, Act 4 in Snezhnaya. The story took him through a trial of a new weapon-like device and then into a fight with the boss Ronova starting about two and a half hours in. He was hard-pressed early on, wondering aloud how he could win, and the battle wrapped up around the 3:15 mark before the story moved into an epilogue. He closed the stream with a stretch of character-build planning.

Chat filled with wishes for rest as he explained the break, and again at sign-off. He said he will still post on X during the break, that some work is already scheduled, and that short clips may go up in the meantime.

‘So, see you next time,’ he said, ending the stream.
