In #umineko-stream-chat, discussions about foreshadowing and plot points in Umineko ahead of Joe's progress in the story were extremely commonplace, leading to many walls of nothing but spoiler-marked text.

SHOU-chan, short for "The Spoiler Hunting Oracle of Umiden-chan", is the embodiment of using the discord channel #umi-full-spoilers-chat to avoid revealing story elements of Umineko When They Cry when discussing it in JADS.

In JADS, a channel is created for each game Joe plays, so fans of that game or the streams a have a dedicated place to discuss it. These are usually full spoilers chats, where fans are able to talk about game spoilers openly. One such channel was opened for Umineko when Joe chose to stream it on 2024 Leap Day. Usually spoiler chats are closed whenever Joe stops streaming a game; however, the Umineko chat was left open, and a community of Umi fans formed there and started blogging their reads of other VNs.

When Joe resumed streaming Umineko the following year, Umi Den was converted into the permanent channel #reading-club, so people could continue blogging VN reads and discuss books as well. To accommodate for the huge volume of Umi conversation, stream conversation up to the point where Joe had progressed got a channel called #umineko-stream-chat, and full spoilers conversation got #umi-full-spoilers-chat. When Joe took another break from Umineko after finishing Questions Arc, Mouse created the Umineko Undercourt, a standalone Discord server for Umi fans to go during the break[1].

The original creator of SHOU-chan is epheoko. SHOU-chan is the only chan confirmed to be male.
