alright. so in this round of main story, crazy:b asked alkaloid to team up w them on their plans.
their first plan here is to hold a live called "idol royale" and crash this live they planned themselves.

(i'll be slow w this thread bc i need to recheck things)

their main intention holding this live is to get a huge amount of L$ and make the fans doubt ES. rinne wanted alkaloid to cooperate with them in this live and stand on stage, or if they don't want to, at least stay quiet while crazy:b do their thing.

however, the planning actually didn’t put crazy:b as the host, but instead a unit from cospro that even aira didn’t know about. He then asked his internet otaku friend about it and apparently it’s a name of a fictional idol unit himeru made up in a show back then.

about crazy:b’s situation. They’re becoming a hot topic among ES because they often crashed other unit’s live and people got really interested in them. But, most of the units had said to their fans to not watch crazy:b’s live, so it’ll be hard for them to gain audience themselves

Which is why, publicly, this live didn’t mention that crazy:b is going to appear in it. But seems like the fans who attended the live actually expected them to come, so they can make this as an “excuse” to see crazy:b’s live even though their beloved idols have told them not to.

Alkaloid ended up rejecting the offer to stand onstage because the planning looks so suspicious and they want to avoid risks because they’re not in a good position themselves. Crazy:b invited them to watch the live for free in the end.

This live was planned to have a lot of units participating like the obon live, but apparently the strong units like akatsuki and ryuseitai rejected the offer because the live sounds so suspicious. Hiiro realized that this might be a trap his brother set up.

A thing i found quite strange is that all of other units rejected the offer, meanwhile trickstar were *rejected* from the live itself (according to hokuto). Who knows if there’s any special meaning behind this

rinne then revealed that the only one participating in this live is crazy:b and that every other unit rejected the live offer, saying that they don't wanna get involved with bad guys like them.

kohaku asked why would rinne sent requests to other units knowing that they'll get+

rejected? rinne said that it's part of his plan. he already asked himeru to collect the answers the other units gave them, and also asked hiiro to do "something" the night before.

he then revealed to the audiences that idols are faking a lot of things and are just ES' pet dogs.

rinne: "first of all, we'll expose the hypocrisy of the justice super sentai, 'ryuseitai'!"

midori saw this live from (i assume) wholehands (the sns) and told chiaki (who passes by) right after. chiaki saw this as a bad sign and told him to come get the others and head there.

at first, chiaki also want to head there but midori told him to just focus on his work because they're still a newcomer so they need to build trust with their work partners too. he said to just leave this to the ryst kouhais and then left to inform tetora and shinobu about this.

chiaki told him to be careful because he had a bad feeling about this. it feels like the revolution two years ago that happened in yumenosaki is once again happening...

"if seen from the public point of view, or at least in ES' eyes, we're the evil ones!

but those 'ryuseutai' guys that act like the 'allies of justice' didn't even touched us!

even though we sent them an invitation to face each other as justice vs evil in this 'idol royale'?"

"if they wanna deny and call us evil, don't just proudly talk behind our backs, come at us!

but! fans, you can see the exchange displayed on screen right?

they said to us 'we're busy so it's impossible' with such formal manners in a business-like tone!"

then rinne keeps blabbering about how ryst are fake heroes, there's no such things as "the ally of justice" in this world, they're just clowns. how disappointing!

but however disappointing that is, it's the truth. he then showed another respond from ryst on the screen.

"'we're really busy so it'll be hard to perform, but if with our appearance fee, something was added to sweeten the pot, then we'll not going to not think about it.'

ー'but of course, if us, the 'allies of justice' were given a scenario where we won.'!"

"'also, the amount of money those guys presented are approximately ten times the appearance fee of the official drefes ES provided!'"

this was fabricated, but i think it's really what chiaki said. maybe it's what rinne told hiiro to do bc hiiro was talking to chiaki before this.

SORRY IF I WORDED THINGS WEIRD BTW i'm fighting the character limit but basically it said that the fee crazyb put was so big and if it's just. like that without any special things for ryst, then they'll not gonna think about it

ALSO the hiiro thing was also my speculation i also still want to believe them :(

then rinne talks about how ES were planning something behind their backs by putting shining idols on their surface, while beneath it all they were erasing every traces of the bad truths happening.

himeru then showed a footage of the "summit" meeting.

rinne then pointed out the people thereー those guys from akatsuki, undead, even the big 3 fine and knights and the ones who just held a live to save the failed ones, switch. ibara was standing(?) so he wasn't captured onscreen, although 2wink are there.

"these guys are the ones dominating ES, the mastermind who are pulling the strings from the back! they're the true form of the "idol utopia" called ES!

they spread around conspiracies while watching with an eagle eye, a creepy secret association that're invading "our country"!

"these guys're annoying, yeah? while acting as an idol, they were loved and worshippedー

as they deceive the public's eye and replaced everyone's love with money, they're trying to invade this country, yknow!

is it alright to forgive them!? no, we're not gonna forgive them!"

"that's why i raised my voice, stood up and thrusted my fists! to revolutionize this rotten idol industry!

we're now just weak pests! if those guys came up to us seriously, we'll get crushed!

but, todayー everyone knows, right? the true colors of idols!"

rinne: "if you knew, then fight! don't just endure the disaster, you can war with the evil nation! us crazy:b is the first special force for it!

destroying those imitation idols, we're gonna become the real idols!"

rinne then told everyone to support them, and if they had any complaints, they should use their mic and fight them onstage.

he called the idols "fake","devil who wore idol's skin", and if they still want to pretend to be humans, then they should go and speak human language here.

(here means onstage)

then he kept saying things that adds oil to the fire like those big units like akatsuki and ryuseitai are cowards who have no will to fight and have no balls (literally)

"if you're a man, come fight here, idols!"

then he started singing.

aira in the audience seat was speechless. he thought that crazyb are really going crazy, saying all those lies and declare war on ES like that...

then hiiro asked, "are those really lies, though?"

aira: of course it is! what do those guys know about ryuseitaiーno, about idols!?

hiiro: but those exchange in wholehands that were displayed onscreen looks real.

aira: those things are obviously fabricated though? wholehands' content are being kept a secret from public, so of course no one will realize that it's not real!

cutting the dialogue to keep it short

aira: and even when ryst or ES say that it's fabricated, fake articles will be published all around the net already! teaming up with the information bureau and doing this is the worst action! i don't understand, what are they trying to do!?

a: i won't forgive them! to speak badly about my beloved idols like that...!

h: hm. then, shall we go up the stage?

a: eh, what do you mean?

h: nii-san said, if you have complaints, go up the stage. he already told us the way. participate in idol royale and face them head-on.

...wait i think this one isn't teaming up with the information bureau, but to "use them like this"...? either way they're kinda the same right? please correct me if i'm wrong btw https://twitter.com/riririellll/status/1249724809132404738

aira: eeh, b-but that'sー

hiiro: in fact, people that were intending to fight fair-and-square and wanting to clear the suspicions already appeared.

then keito and tetora appeared with an angry face.

hiiro said that other idols began to appear too (i think by "other idols" he meant other than cb, so aktk+ryst). especially ryst who were directly attacked before, surely they can't just stay quiet.

aira: t-then should we go too? if it's only crazy:b, with aktk and ryst, surely-

hiiro: no. sorry, i take back my words, it seems impossible for us, aira.

apparently the rules just updated, if you want to go onstage and face crazy:b, it required 500k L$, which is half of the cost to participate for MDM. alkaloid didn't have that much money, so they can't go.

h: yeah. even so, ryuseitai and akatsuki still came up to the stage.

for a powerhouse unit, maybe they can pay off the high appearance fee.

with only those two units participating, 500k+500k L$ = 1 mil L$.

crazy:b can get the amount of appearance fee to participate MDM.

a: and that means...?

h: hm. maybe, this was all nii-san's planーhis strategy.

crazy:b is in the same position as us, to perform in MDM is their last resort to safe themselves, right.

even by force, they will have to spend 1 milion L$ for it.

h: that's why, nii-san thought up of this plan and set up a trap to bring a great amount of money to him as if it was rolling towards him.

.
nii-san has won this gamble.

aira went silent, and it ends there.

so in short, rinne set up this live, sent appearance requests to lots of powerful units, knowing that they'll reject it and recorded their responses, then provoke them onstage while "gambling" that his provocation will ended up reeling at+

least two units onstage so he can get money for MDM easily. HIS WAY OF THINKING IS SO RECKLESS BUT? I LIKE IT? he's basically asking to d*e because he'll bring a lot of hate from others like this but at least he got the money?

tl;dr rinne is still an asshole but he's a smart one

THIS!!! IS WHAT I WAS SAYING SINCE YESTERDAY!!!!!!!! i've got it out for everyone to see now too and i am satisfied https://twitter.com/riririellll/status/1249351689275977730
