Talk:Episode 39 - Four Star Academy, in a Crisis!?/@comment-24831376-20161212012218/@comment-24848025-20161214084308

As far as the new S4 is concerned - its pretty easy to say that Lily, Ako, and Mahiru will be joining S4 with Yuzu to replace Hime, Tsubasa, and Kasumi. However I wouldn't be surprised if BNP pulls a fast one and makes Ako & Mahiru both Admins as well and moving some rarely used Admins move up. That could mean the upcoming Season 2 S4 might not be so important as Season 1 S4. As a interesting far-thought -- it's possible we may get a new Main Character as soon as the start of Season 3 -- which may come after the Season 3 S4 is chosen.

That all said - this seems to be more of a one-off episode then anything major. We don't know how the school gets into danger of closing down, considering the school has to be making quite a bit of money from the activites of it's idols. So I doubt that whatever got the school into debt can be paid off just by founding a new brand -- more then anything it'll be some mysterious benefactor that Lily knows who make come in to save the school.

I wouldn't put it past BNP to introduce a new brand and not use it for awhile - especially since the S4 auditions are due to come up before April 1st and the brand may end up being held off until Lily uses it for the S4 auditions.
