Talk:Episode 49 - To Become the Number One Star!/@comment-24848025-20170322014418

Now that we are about 2 days out from the episode airing - I'll put my predictions for this episode here and see how close (or how off) I am from what actually happens.

Episode starts with Yume getting the text message from Koharu. This gets Yume going as she leaves her dressing room where she runs into Hime - where both vow to use their full strength. From here, there are two things I could see happening - one being realistic and the other being super melodramatic:

1 - What'll probably happen: Yume performs Star Jet with her Prog Aura out early, BNP saves budget and doesn't alter her performance much. She then scores around the 29,600 to 29,800 range. Hime then comes on with Start Line, BNP saves budget again by not altering her performance much. Hime then scores 1 point below Yume and loses in a shocker. Then we get the speeches of what is next for Hime, Yume accepting the win, etc.

2 - What I wish would happen: Yume performs, pulls out Prog Aura out early. THEN, toward the end she pulls out yet another Prog Aura. Yume then scores a perfect 30k which puts Hime in a bind. Hime then comes out and does the same exact thing, and also scores a 30k resulting in the first ever S4 audition tie. Anna-sensei moves to say that the tie will stick, but then Hikaru is going to come on stage and force a one-off performance duel between Yume & Hime (who both agree to it.) They both then duel using So Beautiful Story with Koharu being shown watching from France. The scoring ends with Yume 30k, Hime 29,999 and a new legend is born, speeches, yadda yadda.

The episode ends with Yume & Hime talking at the seaside cliff, with Hime probably remarking how far Yume has come and Yume saying it's all thanks to Hime that she's finally made her dream come true. End of episode.

BTW - I know a Hime win is also likely, but I also think BNP has learned its lesson from Aikatsu season 1 in not allowing Ichigo to win over Mizuki. Aikatsu Stars has departed from certain conventions from Aikatsu, and I think this'll be one of them.
