But does she need to make a public declaration about that? I mean, people expect her to succeed Acchan of all names. That means they already know she has Center Nova potential. What could she say at this point that wouldn't sound redundant? If anything, everyone saw Chieri means business during this performance, when her radiance rivaled Yuuko's, so they know she's going for the Center Nova position too. Heck, Nagisa herself said "My glow won't lose to Chieri's and Yuuko's. I want to become Center Nova", so even Nagisa took Chieri as contender for the position even if Chieri herself hadn't said anything about it .

Although she likely have her own agenda, like Tsubasa suspects. She may try to do something to stop a center nova of becoming one later on.

AKB0048 19 - Succession Sickness
AKB's always had these rituals and supernatural elements to it, but when Mimori falling sick was taken as a sign of her becoming the next successor, the series suddenly took on a new dimension. AKB isn't just an institution, it's nearly a lifestyle in this universe. The stuff with Nagisa and Chieri continues to be pretty interesting. It's been made clear several times throughout the series that they glow the brightest when they're together, but I don't think two people can take on a name at once. If Chieri goes on without Nagisa, or Nagisa goes on without Chieri, they both might end up underpowered. Chieri has popularity on her side, but Nagisa apparently has that *thing*, that spark. The tension's really picking up. |

Oh wow a fever of succession, well good for Mimori, though i wonder what Tsubasa was surprised about at the end. Good thing Nagisa finally has gotten things straight. Liked how she took down Yuuko's pictures and chose to aim for center nova. Though it was quite funny at what time she decided to declare herself.

Maybe others facepalmed, but I can live with Nagisa's unexpected intent to throw her hat in the ring. Yuko's earlier comment on her performance kind of given Nagisa a reality check, that she's no longer just a performer but also as a competitor.
(I think a performer deciding to disrupt in the middle of live a performance isn't new at any concert in history.)

That's true, but considering she was filling in for Mimori, I think what she did was a bit disrespectful. She even told Mimori she would do her proud, but instead she used the opportunity for self-promotion disregarding everyone's hard work for the performance. I don't hold it against her because I don't think she really thought what she was doing, but I still don't like it one bit.

Looking over some screencaps from this episode in a blog, this image caught my eye:
The way Mayuyu's hair is draped over Yukirin there is very d'aww-inspiring. So cute! In regards to Nagisa's interruption, I have to agree with Kazu-kun. I also felt it was disrespectful to the person she was filling in for. Determination is all well and good, and making an announcement like that gains you respect in those quarters, I get that, but she could have showed her determination without interrupting the song, and she should have held her announcement until the break. Unfortunately, it seems she doesn't multitask well, so once she started thinking about how Yuuko and Chieri were leaving her behind, all other things she was supposed to be focusing on (like the performance she was in the middle of) flew out of her head.
