Yang Nari Takes the World as a Dandelion, Parrying a Baby, a Cat and a Dancing Man

NIJISANJI — Yang Nari of Nijisanji cleared a game about growing a dandelion on a stream that began Nov. 10, closing the run with the announcement that the dandelion had taken over the world. Chat answered with a wall of “world conquest” messages.

Nari said afterward that the game was unfamiliar and that the stream began without knowing what kind of game it was. The early going was a tutorial of sorts: Nari collected colored orbs of energy, chose upgrades to level the dandelion up, and stepped through its life stages, from seed to a white puffball. The on-screen text was dense with kanji, which Nari read aloud and joked made it feel like a Japanese study game. Along the way Nari relayed facts the game raised, including that a dandelion head is a cluster of 100 to 200 tiny flowers and that the plant can live more than 10 years.

“You should seriously go play FPS games.” — Yang Nari, to the baby boss after another parry

The game then turned into a series of boss fights built around timed parries. Nari fended off a baby throwing toys, a cat that sent the dandelion rolling, and a drunk man who danced and slapped, noting at one point that a successful parry restored health. Nari repeatedly urged the baby to try FPS games, and chat joked about how good the baby’s aim was. The run closed on a long boss-rush stretch before the ending.

After the credits, Nari thanked viewers for watching. Chat praised how many kanji Nari read correctly. Nari also said a members’ stream was planned for Wednesday. The chat logged 4,868 messages and 15 Super Chats.
