Talk:Episode 94 - Mahiru's Radiance/@comment-26426093-20180216040209

Is it just me, or does Elza treat the main characters differently depending on what type they are? I know that this might sound far-fetched, but hear me out on this one:

Yume (Cute)-  Elza initially views Yume little more than your average cute-typed idol as a bargaining chip, but after Yume gains strength after strength, even Elza herself can't ignore her growing power-and seeing how she treats Yume with more respect after that, Elza might actually view Yume as someone worth challenging, even if she wouldn't admit it.

Laura (Cool)- Hooboy. Laura beared the brunt of Elza's bullying when she stood up for Yume, and has paid the price for it ever since. Sexy types don't usually get along well with cool types due to the former perceiving them as threats to their own popularity, and that shows in Elza's discrimination against Laura among other things.

Koharu (Sexy)- Out of all the five main characters, Elza treats Koharu with familal respect. This comes as no surprise, seeing as both are sexy-typed idols and share a similar interest in design. In addition to that, Koharu has contributed a lot to Elza's cause and never rebelled against Elza so it's logical that Elza would pay lip service to her loyalty.

Mahiru (Sexy)- Now this is the most intriguing one. Other than Hime and Laura, not many other characters have dared to speak out against Elza or openly criticize her policies. Mahiru is the exception: she has both the confidence and talent to speak out against Elza and hold her ground (Ep 55 is a very good example). In return, Elza, due to understanding that Mahiru is actually quite capable (unlike her perception on poor Laura) and showing a mediocrum of respect towards Mahiru as fellow sexy-typed idols, is neutral towards her at the very least.

Ako (Pop)- Poor Ako never stood a chance against Elza in their first and only interaction: not only did the former get mercilessly told off by the latter, she didn't even do anything noteworthy to catch Elza's attention from the point foward. Then again, being a pop-typed idol doesn't quite equate to a increase in popularity, let alone reputation...
