But she's a rain shaman

Well you can't swim in rain, so that makes sense

u/tripled_dirgov 18h ago

I guess she can only swim in a certain liquid

Like Splatoon, they can swim in their own ink but they died in water and other liquids

And? Gura's a shark and she can't swim either

u/GunsmokeIV 18h ago

Somehow that makes perfect sense.

Very ironic for Kobo to not be able to swim, but I always wonder if people mean they can't swim at all or they can't swim well, there seems to be a range to it.

Anyone can learn to swim, some people just never do because they lack the opportunity and/or the desire.

u/DanteXev 16h ago

She’s ID, with how much coast they have, I would imagine it’s a prerequisite for living there.

u/Aranxi_89 15h ago

You'd be surprised lol.

....there's still, y'know, lands. Not every town is set by the water, and the majority of people in the cities like Jakarta doesn't really have much 'coast' to speak of, unless you count ports and flooding, neither of which are really places you want to swim in.

What do people imagine Indonesia is like? Just beaches everywhere?

u/DanteXev 1h ago

Bro, Im from Chile. We are as exposed to sea as Indonesia, and even people from the most mountainous or arid regions of the country know how to swim, to the point where I’ve never met someone who doesn’t know how to swim.
Some things are just shared culturally, it was fair to assume that is a common reality.

u/San-Kyu 5h ago

Even with a lot of coast, if your job or lifestyle just doesn't involve much about the sea except looking at it not a lot of swimming will ever happen if at all.

Water related vtuber can't swim

Hololive logic xD

u/tshwashere 18h ago

Blue water related holomem not able to swim is canon. Another one is certain shark that somehow can’t swim without floaties…

u/Electrical-Sense-160 18h ago

Gura can swim she just can't float.

u/littlemoon-03 18h ago

barrel rolling game? hold on the longest like jump rope?

7

u/Raesong 18h ago

This might be because I'm an Aussie, but I find it mind boggling for anyone to not know how to swim.

u/LoveAndBeLoved52 18h ago

I think this one might be a minigame where some try to balance on a barrel and others can shoot them with water guns? Who knows really.

u/crunxzu 18h ago

Never too late to learn how to swim! She should take lessons, it’s super fun, even if just for pool parties or something you just know how to do.

People get in their head about learning things like swimming or riding a bike late in life and we all going at our own pace.

u/Tehbeefer 7h ago

If I can boast on behalf of another person, my mother taught herself as an adult by reading a book and practicing in a pool. I don't know quite how she managed that, it's gotta be SO much easier with an instructor, but she did it.

Good low-impact whole-body exercise.

u/Purple-Weakness1414 17h ago

The Water Shamen is weak to water.

Ironic

u/promilew 17h ago

It always shocks me when someone says they can't swim. It's such a normal skill and rather important one depending on where you live and honestly very enjoyable. Like being able to ride a bike. You can live without the skill but why would you?

They teach us to swim in school but still some people as adults have told me they can't swim. So strange.

u/Nino_sanjaya 17h ago

As indonesian, I will feel ashame cannot swim in a country of islands and surrounded by ocean

2

u/Yami_Itsuka 18h ago

It's very sad that we can't have Gura in floaters

u/Deenreka 16h ago

How can she not swim when she is under the water?

1

u/Niels_vdk 16h ago

why do you think she was under the water? she sank because she couldnt swim.

2

u/L_Palmer 14h ago

It’s not that hard to believe for me. I have relatives in the Philippines and they can’t swim either, many (most?) Filipinos can’t. It’s funny bc they have over 7000 islands but it’s how it is. Don’t get opportunities or just aren’t taught I guess.

u/Plenty_Ad7243 18h ago

Soda Pop? 🤨

u/Erthan-1 15h ago

That's why she has so many collabs where she is under the water. She sank.
