** The other two had their own problems after this incident: Kanan sacrificed her school idol dreams and her relationships for Mari's sake, turning her into a BrokenBird while Dia is caught in the middle, unable to do anything about it.

* Season 2 already starts off with quite a bit of drama right off the bat. First off, despite the great support and wonderful showing at the end of Season 1, Aquors did not move past the regional qualifiers, which they aren't too worried about as they will just develop their skills for the next Love Live competition. However, they might not get a chance to, as Mari's father calls in and tells her that it's been finalized that the school will cancel the open house for upcoming year and will be integrated with a nearby school, thus closing the school down. The goal that μ's was able to accomplish in their first season, Aqours was unable to do.

* The third episode is full of them.

The realisation is obvious on all three members' faces, but they still go on with the show. After the power goes out, Chika keeps singing, only to begin to cry from the sheer hopelessness of it all.

And then, despite being a member of the group making her happy, Hanamaru decides not to join officially after realising that she doesn't have the stamina to keep up with the others, going back to sit in the library alone until Ruby shows up and points out that Rin, her favourite member, didn't think that she could be an idol either.]]

Mari had absolutely no interest in studying abroad, she just wanted to enjoy being an idol with her friends.]]
* In the penultimate episode of season 1 the girls go to Otonokizaka high school in order to understand why μ's was such a great idol group. While there they come across a student who reveals that [[spoiler:there is nothing of μ's left at the school, after the girls disbanded they took all off the proof that μ's existed with them leaving behind only the school that they saved as proof of their achievement.]] It's an understandable bit of realism but still a bit of a GutPunch for fans of the original show who wanted the two groups to meet each other at some point.

This hits the girls so badly that many of them even wonder if it is worth still going towards Love Live, with Mari and Chika being affected the most by this news.

* In episode 8 of season 2, they go to Hokkaido to see some of their perspective rival groups for the finals, especially Saint Snow. [[spoiler:But as we learn in season 1, Love Live can be incredibly brutal and nerves can really take over: we learn that the sisters collapsed on stage, destroying any hopes of advancing. Both sisters take this hard but Leah in particular loses whatever confidence she had and decides to quit being a School Idol. It was also Sarah's senior year and thus her last chance to participate, thus Leah's obviously feeling guilty over ruining this chance for her.]]

But in this live, the play suddenly stops, prompting Anju and Shuka to approach her. Initially, this reminds the audience about 1st Live's infamous "stage anxiety"... until Rikako joins the rest of them in the performance! Finally, the song is performed with nine members!
