(After a weird "adventure" they had two days ago, Muse finally acquired the seventh episode.)

Honoka: EPISODE 7 IS OUT, GUYS!! WE WILL FINALLY KNOW WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED TO THEM!
Nico: This better be worth it. I am not gonna fall for any "victorious" bullshit.
Maki: Just shut up and watch.

(Their PV got 50,000 + views and they ranked 99th place.)

Nozomi: Everyone is getting their hopes up.
Hanayo: I believe they should be more cautious.....
Nico: It will fall soon for sure. They're dumb to think that rank is enough to hold them together....

(Chika feels they can be champions in Love Live.)

Nico: 😬 WHO THE HELL YOU THINK YOU ARE? MUSE 2.0? AS IF!! YOU ARE ALL JUST RURAL NOBODIES WHO HARDLY KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THE CRUEL URBAN LIFE! Chika is such a mikan (orange) as@#$le!
Eri: Now you're talking way too seriously geez.....
Maki: Oy, calm down will ya?

(Message received from Tokyo, what Chika calls "the capital from the east")

Kotori: Hahaha, she talks like a tourist!
Rin: She seems to be praising our city too much...
Umi: Does she think our place is home of the gods or something?
Honoka: Chika is not very correct? As far as I know, I think there are a lot capitals in the east -
Umi: Honoka shut up and don't get started on that. Skip the opening please!

(Tensions between the Kurosawa sisters as Ruby announces their trip to Tokyo....)

Nico: Oh no here we go....also Chika is such a pleb to rely on her allowance alone for money....she has no idea how I live...😒
Honoka: Sister troubles....😕 I totally get it with Yukiho not agreeing with me and all at times. I am worried for Ruby!
Umi: That is because you act like totally immature in contrast to your unusually mature little sister....
Honoka: Hey!! 😲
Eri: I totally get Dia's standpoint. 😕 I personally had qualms with my lil' sis Arisa in similar situations, such as her decision to stay here in Japan with me.
Rin: Anyone who has a sister totally understand the situation, nyah... 😧
Hanayo: Here we go....Dia is gonna oppose Ruby's involvement there.

(Dia gives Ruby the "go" signal and totally understands.)

Hanayo: Huh?!! Wow, totally did not expect!!
Eri: THAT'S MY GIRL!! WHAT A GREAT SISTER!
Nozomi: More open-minded than what I had in mind either!
Kotori: What a cool sis! I wonder if I have one -
Umi: No. Just stop. Don't wish. Your sis will most likely be like Honoka...
Kotori: Would that not be so fun?
Honoka: Hmmm...I think I'd do the same thing and let Ruby go do her thing!
Nico: As much as I appreciate Dia knowing what it means to be a school idol, I wish she just stopped her.
Maki: So far, it seems Dia is the only girl you don't criticise much, Nico...
Nozomi: I am questioning how on earth does she knows so much....conspiracy....

(Tensions between Mari and Dia amidst a dark foreshadowing.)

Eri: Well well, what is this?! Looks like we have a very interesting conflict going on!
Nozomi: Mari seems to be acting like me so far...
Umi: That dynamic is so well done.
Maki: Something's fishy.....
Honoka: Mari is so smart, testing Aqours for something I have no idea what is about...
Umi: What?
Nico: Now what is she up to? Wait....does she mean by?

(Dia pins her at the wall and says "You have not changed....")

Eri: Oh my! This is so intense!!
Kotori: Oh my, what happened before? Looks like we have a bad backstory going on....
Maki: How interesting, huh?
Nico: Okey. It's official. I have confirmed a theory about her and all. Looks like I know what she is talking about too...

(CHIKA IN TOKYO OUTFIT.)

Everyone: Whaaaaaattttt!
Umi: FOR GOD'S SAKE, WHAT A HAM!!?
Nico: Chika is like the dumbest girl ever. Advertisments probably blew her mind away to think we look like that.
Honoka: Hahahaha!
Kotori: Gosh, I feel bad for her.
Maki: Idiot.

(Riko is like "what the fuck you doin'?" and Chika's big sister laughs.)

Umi: RIKO I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU!
Honoka: Oh my...her sis is laughing! I can't take this!
Nozomi: Totally misguided....
Maki: What a fool.

(RUBY ALSO WEARING A CRAZY DRESS.)

Hanayo: KAWAAAAAIIII!!!
Umi: NO, NOT YOU TOO!!?
Kotori: Isn't she sooo kawaiii!!? What a nice dress!
Eri: Chill, girls! Isn't she so cute in that dress!? She is just a kid so it shouldn't be too bad if she thinks Tokyo is like tha -

(HANAMARU IN CONSTRUCTION WORKER OUTFIT.)

Maki: ZURA, STOP! We have another idiot....
Hanayo: Hahaha....
Umi: Just stop. Please. You ain't goIng to a mountain.

(Riko tells them to drop those clothes away.)

Umi: Riko, I love you. Yes, tell them!
Maki: Glad we have someone who's been to Tokyo to straighten them up.
Eri: Hehehe....?
Honoka: I LOVE THEIR GETUP!
Maki: Who on earth told them Tokyo is a dangerous place?

(Hanamaru's "zura" problem.)

Maki: Oh right, that verbal tic.....
Rin: Is it really necessary for her to drop it? I mean, I am always saying "nyah" whenever I am with you guys in public.
Nozomi: Rin, Hanamaru's "zura" is different from your "nyahs". You can say your tic as much as you want here and people will get it, but her tic is indicative of her provincial origins - which is kinda like people will think she's poor or an outsider or something. It's kinda like my Kansai accent, something I picked up from some place before.
Eri: In othet words, if she keeps saying that, people might look down on her.
Rin: Ohhh....I get it. I find it so sad though...
Nico: Plus points for her that she is aware that she needs to keep her reputation safe.

(Ruby has deep thoughts on Dia's advices.)

Nico: I get what Dia means. Ruby is gonna get wrecked.
Eri: I totally feel the sister vibe.

(You and JOKER-FACED YOHANE!)

Maki: Oh my god....(secretly laughs)....
Eri: OMG!! HARASHO!!
Nozomi: She has been possessed!
Nico: WHAT THE FUCK?!
Umi: YOSHIKO GO TO HELL!! And how dare you call our city a city of sin!!?
Nozomi: She is actually right. 😋 We are all sinners, Umi. Moreso that we engage in homosexual relation -
Umi: You shut up!! Where did that come from?!!
Rin: She is summoning little demons alright, nyah! Ruby and co. are on their way!
Kotori: I am concerned for You having such a weird friend around....speaking of which, they're together already so soon!
Umi: Huh?

(Yoshiko shines on stage and gets people'a attention.)

Nico: HOW ON EARTH?! EVERYONE IS ACTUALLY LOOKING AT HER?!
Umi: No way, what a goddess!!
Eri: SHE IS A GODDESS!
Maki: An attention whore who actually succeeds. Amazing!
Nico: Alright, I get it. NEXT TIME I SHALL TRY DOING THE SAME THING!
Maki: No. Don't. I will stop you.
Nico: You won't stop me, Maki-chan.
Honoka: I adore Yoshiko's actions. She actually knows how to get an audience!

(RubyMaruChika arrive and Yoshiko being Yohane.)

Hanayo: I like how misheivous they look.
Umi: They still need discipline for being late!
Eri: Yohane is so cute and KAWAII!!

(Riko is adviced while more friends support Aqours.)

Nozomi: It really is a thing for people to advice you whenever you come here in Tokyo, huh?
Umi: No doubt hilarity will ensue if she does not guide them. Riko, you better keep your eyes on them!
Honoka: Everyone in the school is really cheering out for them!

(ARRIVAL at Akihabara Station. THEY ARE FINALLY HERE!)

Umi: Call Tokyo a "city of sins" again and I will curse you, Yoshiko! Nozomi, you know how to curse people right?
Nozomi: Whoa, my my, chill Umi. Chill!

(You and Yohane break away from the group - cuz the temptations of going to a cosplay store and a fallen angel store were too hard to resist!)

Maki: Dear lord...
Nozomi: They couldn't resist their desires....
Umi: Their fault if they get lost! Like a certain someone....
Honoka: Oh man....hate to admit it but I would have totally done the same thing. I get easily distracted. Sorry.
Hanayo: I feel their pain. I remember going to a rice shop despite the fact I was trying to lose weight. That golden rice promo was too hard to resist!!!

(Chika goes to a Muse merchandise store.)

Honoka: Yo, look! She's checking out our merchandise! Awesome!
Rin: What a true fan nyah!
Nozomi: So ironic.

(Riko takes notice of a signboard which advertises novels on sale - including a possibly yuri novel - and sneakily leaves to get it.)

Everyone: Ohhhhhh?!!
Umi: Wa-wait!!? Is that what I think it is?!!
Rin: Oh my god!?
Eri: OMG, she actually reads yuri stories?!! I am raising eyebrows!
Nozomi: Wow....Riko is actually secretly into those kinds of things...
Kotori: No wonder she is so close with Chika..
Nico: Wow, girl...
Maki: Did she just confess she's gay?
Umi: RIKO YOU ARE SO SHAMELESS!!? I CANNOT BELIEVE THIS!!
Hanayo: Guys, why are you assuming things?!!
Honoka: What are you guys talking about?

(They walk whilst bringing their stuffs. Riko in particular is hiding her stuff.)

Kotori: You is so amazing. Really loves clothes and costumes!
Maki: Yoshiko cannot resist those cult items. Sigh.
Nozomi: Hehe, Riko is hiding her true interests. So gay.

(Everyone readies to go upstairs - one of those sacred stairs where Muse go to.)

Eri: Oh wow....
Honoka: OMG!! I have so much feels!
Nico: FUCK YOU ALL YOU COPYCATS!!
Maki: Chika is trying too hard to copy Honoka.
Nozomi: This is gonna be so nostalgic...
Hanayo: I think a lot of fans found this a bit offensive.

(Journey to the temple.)

Umi: So much goosebumps!!
Nico: I HATE YOU AQOURS!
Eri: Nozomi!!!
Nozomi: What?
Eri: Nothing! I just remembered you because you always hang out there!
Nozomi: Hehe, I bet the audiences hoped to see me there as well. If they only knew that I [censored information]. That is why I don't hang out there recently.

(Saint Snow's first appearance.....)

Nozomi: Whoa!
Kotori: Oh my, what a surprise!
Rin: Yo, who are they, nyah?
Eri: Damn it!! I thought they are gonna see Nozomi!
Nozomi: Eri are you okay?
Nico: I am so relieved that they did not see any of us.
Honoka: NO WAY!!? ARE THOSE NICO'S SIBLINGS?!!
Nico: Are you blind!!?
Umi: Hold on a sec......
Maki: They....those two are singing?!! It sounds so powerful!

(When the two groups first meet....)

Rin: Looks like Aqours are gonna have their first competition!!
Honoka: Wow, I am reminded of my first encounter with A-Rise.
Hanayo: Hmmm....have I heard of them before? I might need to search for info about them later.
Nico: Here comes A-Rise 2.0 I suppose......
Kotori: Looks like those two seem pretty confident! Especially that Sarah girl!
Maki: They seem so hostile.....

(When Leah does a backflip, acrobatic jump....)

Everyone: Whaaaaaaaaattttt?!!!!
Eri: Harasho!
Nico: The fuck?!! Show off!!
Umi: Okey. Now you are telling me that it is now a requirement for school idols to perform backflips!!?
Honoka: Probably?
Nozomi: My cards say they are serious business.
Maki: Geez....she is trying to get attention....

(Aqours find an inn to stay. Hilarity ensues how they try to relax.)

Rin: This is so funny!
Kotori: They are so cute being together!
Hanayo: I feel bad for Ruby.

(Chika and Riko have a moment in the night.)

Nico: Lesbians!
Nozomi: Sigh, we have another ChikaRiko moment.
Honoka: I am glad that they are very close!
Kotori: But...they seem too close with each other...
Nico: Closer than she is with her childhood friend You, it seems...
Maki: Are you implying something?

(When Chika suggests going to Otonokizaka....)

Nico: NO!!
Eri: Oh god!?
Honoka: Yo!? Amazing! They should check it out!
Nico: I will kill them if they try. By the way, how's Otonokizaka guys? Been a long time since I was last there.
Maki: Well, we pretty much took most of our stuffs there so there will hardly be any of our legacy left there...
Hanayo: As president of the school club, I had things cleared up. It was a bit sad for me though...
Rin: I miss Otonokizaka, nyah!

(...so it seems they won't pay a visit there.)

Nico: Great!
Umi: I find it incomprehensible they won't check our school at all...
Nozomi: This episode is definitely filled with references about us. No wonder Nico is so salty.

(Everyone prepares the next day and are at the audition's backstage.)

Honoka: So many callbacks....
Kotori: Why do I remind myself of Susume Tomorrow for some reason?
Hanayo: They are probably in a worse position because most of the other contestants there are from Tokyo it seems, meaning they are more knowledgeable about school idols.....It will be tough.

(Ruby is very nervous.)

Nozomi: So cute....
Rin: Be more confident nyah!
Umi: Sigh, first times are always very anxious experiences. I totally get her...

(Saint Snow arrives in a majestic walk towards the stage, greeting Aqours.)

Eri: Oh shit!!
Hanayo: No way!
Umi: Them again?!
Maki: I knew it! No wonder why they were at the temple to practice...
Nico: Looks like the enemies have arrived. They really are their rivals. Teach them a lesson!
Honoka: What a cool entrance!

(Saint Snow makes one final declaration and ends the episode.)

Honoka: NOOOOO!!! Don't end it now!
Nico: Alright, I totally get now why Dia seemed so worried. Next episode is gonna be lit.

(Review Time)

Umi: Is it right for me to feel guilty that we are so invisible in this episode?
Nozomi: It is necessary we are not in this episode.
Eri: Next episode is gonna be lit!
Maki: Saint Snow better be good.
Rin: I wanna hear them sing, nyah!
Honoka: Oh man. I wanna see what happens in the next episode!
Nico: AQOURS ARE GONNA GET WRECKED IN THE NEXT EPISODE!!! YESS!!
Hanayo: Nico is so heartless...
Nico: They deserve all this!!! Aqours has to know what kind of rivals they are facing!!! They need to realize how tough Love Live is!! They need to lose!!! They need to face reality AND STOP COPYING US!!!
Nozomi: Nico has so much points in her criticisms.
Maki: Nico is right though. I feel the same way.
Kotori: Anyway, what do you guys feel about this episode?
Umi: It is a very fun and crazy episode, but I feel it foreshadows something bigger.
Nico: Like the backstory of the third years?
Eri: Is that really the case?
Hanayo: This episode makes me smile, but I am worried what happens next.
Honoka: I WANT THE NEXT EPISODE SO BADLY!!
