I don't know what to say about this one. There's too much. Information overload!
I don't know what to think about Mimori. I rarely approve of girls cutting their hair shorter. Not being an AKB fan, the Mariko name has no weight with me beyond it being Tsubasa's former name. It will, however, be all but impossible for me to call her by a new name after all this time. Kanata and Takamina's scene... hurts. Takamina has hoped over all this time that Kanata would be chosen for another name, yet Kanata remains the steadfast captain for the trainees. In the end it seems that nothing truly has changed since last season. And it hurts. This isn't something that either of them should be forced to do. But seeing Kanata's pain as she was left behind, Takamina finally brought it to her directly: "What if you had been ready to succeed long ago, but you couldn't advance because of me? What would you do? Would you be willing to drive me out to become a successor?" How can there be an answer to that question? The series has tried to play up the lesson of focusing on your own goal as the most important thing in life, but it seems to me that the sort of person who would be willing to destroy the dream of someone they deeply care about just to advance their own would not possess a soul that would be seen as worthy of succession. Nor, I think, would she consider herself worthy of the position, knowing that she had done such a thing to Takamina. Yet she cannot declare that she'd be unwilling to succeed either. To do so is to abandon her own dream, and abandon the people who have supported her through everything so far. In the end this seems a choice where there is no right answer at all. Mii-chan's behavior is mind-boggling. I got nothing. And I see it's time for me to start preparing my special punishments for Chieri's father, since I think he will be making me lose my temper with him in the near future.
