Synopsis
As the members each battle their own feelings, the new general selection election finally gets underway. The audience erupts when a member who hadn't appeared in the preliminary report breaks into 10th place. To answer their cheers, she gives a bright, upbeat declaration of resolve. And backstage, as the rankings are announced one after another, Chieri—insisting that the popularity her father manufactured for her is a lie—resolves to quit AKB0048.
