On 5 March, she held a stream to debut her second outfit. Hina first reviewed predictions sent by fans through the hashtag #NuevoMisoTraje. Half an hour in, she proceeded to reveal her new model: a maid variation of her previous one, with a plaid red-and-blue dress with frilled trims and wide sleeves, a maid apron, a headdress based on her previous beret, black thigh highs, thigh straps and brown boots. Her hairstyle was also changed to a pair of low twintails but preserving its colors. After the stream, she premiered her cover of "Ahora Te Puedes Marchar" by Luis Miguel, and later ended the day with a stream thanking Superchats sent to her.

On 9 April, Hina reached 150,000 subscribers on her YouTube channel.

On 23 July, Hina posted on Bilibili that she would leave her channel and stop all further activities, as her studies and other responsibilities made it difficult for her to guarantee streaming regularly, which she felt would let her fans down. Misora was last member of her generation to leave the platform.

On 17 August, Hina announced via Twitter that she would be taking a short hiatus from streaming until September as part of her summer break to finish moving to another city. During this period, on 24 August, her YouTube channel reached 200,000 subscribers.

Her new hairstyle also added twin buns.

Retirement
On 4 December, she held her last stream.

On 8 December, WACTOR announced that Misora was sick and would be taking a break. The next day, she addressed this in a tweet by saying she was diagnosed with gastritis due to stress and was mentally unstable. Hina also mentioned she was looking for another hospital and told her fans to wait for her.

Misora kept being active as usual on Twitter, commenting about the World Cup finals, Christmas, and the newly debuted WACTOR ES members. On 25 December, she posted one final short on YouTube. On 31 December, she made a tweet wishing for one more year together.

On 3 January, 2023, Misora posted one final tweet saying "This time calls for cereal". She then went silent in all social media.

Epilogue
On 13 February 2023, Hina Misora's former actress posted a letter on Twitter stating that her contract with WACTOR was terminated on 9 February. She also apologized for any concern the past events may have caused and assured her fans that she would continue her activities as a VTuber with her new identity at her own pace.

On 28 February, WACTOR posted a press release on their website, Hina's twitter and a video on Hina's YouTube channel regarding her termination citing breach of contract, violation of company norms and rules, and acting irresponsibly causing monetary and moral damages to the company as the grounds of WACTOR taking legal action against her. The press release was also placed in the description of multiple videos on Misora's channel, such as her schedule waiting room, and it included confidential information (Name, Nationality and ID number), which caused the rage of several communities, especially the Spanish-speaking one. Eventually, the video and tweet were taken down after fans reported them as violation of community guidelines and cyberbullying, though the statement on the website and the descriptions of various videos remain up.

Miscellaneous

 * Misora says no one calls her by her real name and rather use her nicknames "Misopa" and "Heiki."
 * On her YouTube debut stream, she told her viewers to call her however they liked and blurted out many nickname examples. When one of them recommended "Miso-chan", she laughed and said it was alright even though it reminded her of miso soup. This inspired the nickname "Misopa" and later, the fan name "Misopitas."
 * She mentioned that she earned the nickname "WACTOR's weapon" on Bilibili after OBS mistranslated her name as 「兵器」 (pronounced Heiki), which means weapon, instead of her official Chinese name 「海空」 (pronounced Haikong).
 * Before auditioning to join WACTOR, she already knew about the agency and even Spanish-speaking clippers, and was a fan of Hizuki Miu as well. She has stated that Miu's dedication with her overseas fanbase was a mayor inspiration to use her Spanish skills to become a VTuber.
 * She can be easily irritated by the word "Pien" (ぴえん), an onomatopoeia which expresses sadness and is represented with the emoji "🥺", because she considers it overused and disingenuous, except of course if it's one of her senpais who uses the term.
 * She can't read much kanji.
 * She has mentioned she likes how anesthesia feels.
 * Her streams are frequently interrupted by motorbike sounds, which she and her fans often refer to as "the yakuza."

 * Micharda eventually ran from home due to being in heat, according to Misora.
 * She once charred an orange off-stream while trying to cook a "grilled orange" (Yaki Orenji). Hina describes its taste as a warm orange and calls it her magic ball.
