Talk:Episode 96 - Shining Together!/@comment-26426093-20180302022335

This win was a long time in the making, and the payoff, altogether with next episode's send-off to the Venus Ark characters was both sweet and awesome. Finally, Yume managed to climb and conquer the insurmountable clift that was Elza Forte; for her friends, partners and herself, this victory finally broke the 'invincible' myth of Elza and gave hope to idols everywhere that no matter how difficult the challenges they may face, sooner or later they will gain enough strength and will to overcome them.

On a side note, the moment where Yume won against Elza has just as equal standing as last season's Episode 47, where Mahiru actually beat Yozora against all odds by using her own human skills and talent. If Yume's victory was mainly about "the power of friendship", then Mahiru's victory was based on the pure, human talent alone. Shows just how both Yume and Mahiru are super OP compared to most of the cast.
