==Collaborations==
She appeared a lot in Inuyama Tamaki's streams - a running gag in them is his "harem" (due to his large number of collaborations), as well as his "relationship" with his "girlfriend" Rushia.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oI5NJ7XjRlwhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UmnH97qRA7Mhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hyfe2361eGE When Rushia was asked what she would do if Tamaki was unfaithful to her, she calmly vowed to annihilate his mistress before hunting him down.

==Fandom==
Her fanbase, Japanese, in is called 「ふぁんでっど」(Fandeddo), which is an attempt to combine the words「Fan（ファン）」with the word「Undead（アンデッド）」. In English, her fanbase is officially called "Fandead". 
===In-jokes/memes===
*A running joke in the fandom is her lack of big breasts ("boing-boings") and how she wished for a bigger bust (because she was "pettan"), and her tendency to cringe when her friends said the words flat" (ぺったん)" and "wall" (壁).
*Fans who made fun of Rushia in the chat are killed before they can finish their sentence, so you should never mock her unless you wish for death.
*Rushia's screams sounded similar to Eva Unit-01 in berserk mode.
*Another running joke is how she adored animals, but tended to accidentally kill them while gaming, such as in ARK and Minecraft, where she killed several birds, a Strider and an axolotl respectively. She even tried to befriend a fox in the latter, only for it to jump into a fire.
*When Rushia was mad, she often pounds her table. This has been created as "Desk-kun: -50 HP" as a meme by example.
*Rushia being asked to say "bruh", only to say this instead.
*Rushia and "the girlfriend experience".
*Rushia was also very protective of her fans, and defended one when she was mocked for her appearancehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AH0uV-ijGy0https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mApzicMacVQ.
==Partnerships==
She herself also appeared in a game - she was made playable in Disgaea 6 (Japan) as a Boin Boin Succubus named Ruusha. Other VTubers in the game were Fubuki and Flare.
The Kyocera Dome Osaka stadium, on 13 August 2021, scheduled a collaboration between 12 Hololive idols including Rushia, who were to represent the SoftBank HAWKS and collaborate with six professional Japanese baseball teams from the Pacific League, two hololive members per team.
