Talk:Episode 49 - To Become the Number One Star!/@comment-24987657-20170323211527

Honestly expected a lot more rage in the comments.

But anyway.

From my perspective, Yume isn't that OP. Of course she had her special rainbow aura, but it brought along consequences, and she did stop using it around the middle of the series. I don't really watch the episodes entirely anymore, but I do keep up with the show, and watch the performances, and from what I see, it's not that unbelievable she beat Laura. They both worked hard (who did more is not easy to say, but since Yume won, I'm assuming it could have been her), and as a result they were both almost equal in terms of skill. If Yume was really OP, she would have beat Laura by a landslide, and possibly even Hime (or at least lose to her by a smidge), but she didn't. She also didn't use her flashy progression aura, so I don't feel her "main character syndrome" (or whatever other names given to main characters who have it) is really that unreasonable, at least in this case. I'm not so satisfied with her victory, as I'd kind of hoped for Lily to win, considering her experience, and wanted Yume to struggle for a little more, but I don't feel the need to call it blasphemy either.

In addition, I loved Ichigo, but if I look at her story from an unbiased view, she was much more OP than Yume. Not only was she a naturally talented super-idol, she was also the daughter of a legendary idol, and had almost beat Mizuki (the one who had been on top for years, and was in the entertainment world since a very young age) in only her second year of experience. Saying her luck wasn't as strong as Yume's is like saying grapes aren't as sweet as raw beets. (Can't really say as much for Akari, whose experience, in all honesty, was the most realistic of the three.)
