POINTLESS RAMBLING AHEAD. Sorry for any inconvenience. I tried listening again, and you're right! In fact, it's also similar to the 'feel' of the "Saikyō no LIVE" at the very end of the song. In this case, they both come at the end of their respective verses, right before an instrumental section. I think it's because the emphasis in the middle ("episoDO SOlo", as with the other two instances of the phrase, and also "good collaboRATIon", which appears in the same places) doesn't really "draw your ear" toward the end of the song/section, or carry the same 'finality' as "SAIkyō no liVE" (and "Episode soLO", the pattern of the one that leads into the bridge)... Because it's not supposed to. Imagine if the vocals just ended after Hime's line (instead of continuing to "Saikyō no LIVE" at the end of the chorus)--I don't know about you, but to me, the song just wouldn't feel finished. And that's exactly what they'd be doing, if the line before the bridge had the same emphasis as the one in the chorus, so I think that, even though it sounds "off", it was definitely intentional. ...sorry for rambling, I just... Thank you for helping me think about this.
