Abstract

Hololive Production is a virtual YouTuber agency which accommodates 71 active talents (VTubers) with 65 million subscribers on YouTube. Hololive protects its talents’ privacy by giving them unreal names and avatars. Some viewers intend to find real identities of the talents, some others ignore the real personalities, while many of them keep secret although they know the real person behind the unreal avatar. Then, how is cyber gender anonymity characterized on the privacy of Hololive Virtual Youtubers? Using qualitative method, this article indicates necessity of cyber gender anonymity to keep Hololive’s talents’ identities safe. This is supported by Judith Butler’s posture of gender and Philip Zimbardo’s deindividuation. Unreal characters and names for VTubers are for anonymities but some viewers are doxing and making fun of them. Viewers want the streamers to be open and clear, but Hololive VTubers want to be anonymous and opaque. That idea contradicts sexual differences and gender anonymities that include tensions of being rigid and flexible. In conclusion, Hololive does not live static condition, but moves through ambiguous avatar of cyber anonymity. Anonymity could always be endangered; laws protect them but attacks to psychological condition is inevitable.

Abstract

Abstract: The research deals with the archetype of supernatural power in Pararaton and Babad Giri Kedhaton. How are the supernatural power archetypes portrayed in Pararaton and Babad Giri Kedhaton? The theory of archetype, Pararaton, supernatural power, and a qualitative research design are applied to answer that research problem. The Morphology discussed focuses on the difference between Hindu and Islamic traditions. The finding shows that Pararaton and Babad Giri Kedathon show male-dominated figures. The archetype of male supernatural power in Pararaton and Babad Giri Kedhaton is portrayed as shining, disciplined, and a great achievement as a king. To sum up, the two stories reflect that the heroes (Propp’s idea of a hero) are male holy figures having supernatural power as miracles. Therefore, the fabula of stories has many similarities. However, both books have different traditions so the differences influence how stories are told as the suzhet.

Abstract

This paper examines the theme of perseverance in the animated film Kung Fu Panda (2008), focusing on the journey of the protagonist, Po, as an embodiment of resilience and determination. The story follows Po, an overweight and unskilled panda, who dreams of becoming a kung fu master. Po is unexpectedly chosen as the Dragon Warrior, tasked with protecting the Valley of Peace. Through hard work, belief in himself, and overcoming self-doubt, Po demonstrates that perseverance, rather than natural talent, is the key to success. The purpose of this study is to analyze how Po’s character arc reflects the importance of perseverance in overcoming adversity and achieving personal growth. The research adopts a narrative analysis approach, focusing on Po’s interactions with other characters throughout the film. This paper explores how Po’s perseverant journey aligns with Albert Bandura’s concept of self-efficacy, where persistence, belief in one’s abilities, and overcoming negative feedback led to eventual success. The analysis reveals that Po’s perseverance is key not only to his success as the Dragon Warrior but also to his self-acceptance and personal fulfilment. The conclusion highlights how the film serves as an inspirational narrative, teaching audiences that persistence and belief in oneself are vital components of achieving greatness, regardless of one’s initial circumstances.

Abstract

This study investigates disablism and its impacts in Kate Chopin’s flash fiction entitled The Blind Man. Chopin straightforwardly writes that the blind man, as the main character, is discriminated against because of his disability. This is called disablism; it occurs when people have a negative viewpoint, undermine someone with a disability, and bring harm or prolonged hatred to them. Through the theory of disablism and qualitative analysis, this research explores disablism and its impacts in both real life and literature. Chopin’s flash fiction proves that treatment toward human beings is never neutral, but always identity-related. Meanwhile, disabled people should be regarded as human beings, not through their disabilities. In conclusion, Chopin’s story opens people’s eyes to humanize others, especially those with physical limitations.

Abstract

This study examines how bad social life conditions contribute to the development of thanatophobia in the main character, Mickey Barnes, in Bong Joon Ho’s film Mickey 17 (2025). Thanatophobia refers to the fear of death and the anxiety related to mortality. Using a qualitative descriptive method and applying Ernest Becker’s theory of death anxiety, this research analyzes selected dialogues, scenes, and character interactions that reflect social degradation, economic instability, dehumanization, and authoritarian control. The findings reveal that Mickey’s poor social environment marked by economic desperation, manipulation, violence, disposability, and loss of autonomy intensifies his awareness of mortality and reinforces his existential anxiety. The study concludes that Mickey’s fear of death does not emerge merely from repeated physical deaths, but from the social system that treats him as replaceable and strips him of human dignity.

Abstract

This article examines the role of purpose in shaping Mufasa’s resilience in Barry Jenkins’s film Mufasa: The Lion King (2024). Derived from an undergraduate thesis, this study focuses on purpose as one of the main reasons behind resilience based on Edith Grotberg’s resilience theory. Using a qualitative descriptive method, the data are taken from Mufasa’s dialogues, actions, and narrative contexts presented in the film. The findings reveal that Mufasa’s strong sense of purpose particularly his commitment to protecting others, maintaining justice, and upholding the Circle of Life functions as a central psychological force that motivates him to endure hardship, loss, and adversity. Purpose enables Mufasa not only to survive difficult circumstances but also to transform suffering into moral strength and leadership capacity. This study concludes that purpose is a foundational element of Mufasa’s resilience.
