I know she lost, but my memory of it I admit was jumbled. I was using the system Aikatsu Stars is using and not Aikatsu (where if the winner leaves the runner up gets the place). But the argument still stands, admittly with a few tweaks. Your comparing Ichigo with Mizuki saying she had to work to surpass her, but that comparison only works if Yume were to beat Hime in the S4 selection. Your using Ichigo's dream to be the top idol and comparing it to Yume's dream to be in S4. The former where you need to beat the big boss (plus all the outside idols) and the latter where you don't, just everyone else in the school, in your divison. (Which Ichigo did in the Starlight Queen Cup, even though she didn't get the title)

A rather better comparison would be Ichigo's Starlight Queen Cup with the S4 selection. (With the theory that Yume will lose to Hime but not anyone else)
