[00:00] ---
    Last time on...
[00:01] ---
    Love Live! Sunshine!!
[00:03] ---
    We'd been practicing for
    the Love Live regional prelims.
[00:05] ---
    One day, Yoshiko-chan found a stray dog.
[00:09] ---
    And then, the dog's owner showed up.
[00:11] ---
    G-Glad to be of help.
[00:13] ---
    But believing that
    encountering the dog was her destiny,
[00:16] ---
    Yoshiko-chan couldn't give up.
[00:18] ---
    I wondered if such things
    really don't exist...
[00:21] ---
    Things like destiny... Invisible powers...
[00:23] ---
    I think invisible powers exist.
[00:25] ---
    Not just in you, but inside everyone.
[00:34] ---
    Here we go.
[00:38] ---
    We've seen this place before, zura!
[00:41] ---
    This is the promised land
    where the last Ragnarök took place.
[00:45] ---
    The regional prelims that we couldn't pass...
[00:49] ---
    It's payback time.
[00:52] ---
    Yep!
[00:53] ---
    Fifty-seven?
[00:55] ---
    Right. As of today,
    we have 57 prospective students.
[00:59] ---
    "Shine!"
    "Love Live! Tokai Regional Prelims"
[00:59] ---
    Can't be... Are you saying we couldn't
    even add ten more this past month?
[01:04] ---
    There's less than a month until the time limit
    given by Mari's dad, isn't there?
[01:08] ---
    "Shine!"
    "Love Live! Tokai Regional Prelims"
[01:09] ---
    The night that the Love Live
    regional prelims will be held...
[01:13] ---
    If we don't have a hundred
    prospective students by then,
[01:15] ---
    there will be nothing we can do.
[01:19] ---
    In other words, the regional prelims are...
[01:22] ---
    Yes. Our last chance.
[01:27] ---
    So this means that we have no choice
    but to stake our future on it, huh?
[01:37] ---
    Let's throw our all at each other
    and grab hold of the future!
[01:56] ---
    The sky and this ocean are both on our side
[02:01] ---
    Shining and saying, "Go, do your best!"
[02:06] ---
    To let our voices reach far, far away
[02:12] ---
    Shall we shout our dreams louder?
[02:17] ---
    (Full of hope)
[02:19] ---
    Today pulls tomorrow toward itself
[02:23] ---
    It's really fun to grasp the magnet
    in my heart and run right now!
[02:32] ---
    (Let's always go together)
[02:34] ---
    What shall we do about the future?!
[02:37] ---
    Everyone laughs and cries
    as they look for the shape of their dreams
[02:44] ---
    Because I'm sure the future us
    will have the answer
[02:53] ---
    Let's run with everything we have
    and become the shining wind
[03:01] ---
    We got dream
[03:06] ---
    One, two, three, four!
    One, two, three, four! Now change!
[03:07] ---
    "'#6 Aqours WAVE'"
[03:10] ---
    Up! Up!
[03:12] ---
    Oh, good! I'd like to see your arms
    raised at the same angle.
[03:17] ---
    Hanamaru, bring them up a bit higher.
[03:20] ---
    That's good!
[03:21] ---
    Don't forget this angle.
[03:23] ---
    Zura...
[03:23] ---
    Well then, let's practice individually
    after taking a break.
[03:29] ---
    --Chika-chan! I bought some ice cream earlier.
    Would you like some?
    --I'm so beat, zura.
[03:32] ---
    --Really?!
    --Are you okay, Hanamaru-chan?
    --For a change of pace.
[03:34] ---
    Zura...
[03:35] ---
    Whoa! They list the groups
    that are considered
[03:38] ---
    the most likely to go to the nationals.
[03:40] ---
    --Zura?
    --Wait, what? There's something like that?
SIGN    "Here are the school idols who are considered the most likely to go to the nationals!!"
[03:43] ---
    Since Love Live is popular, there seem to be
[03:45] ---
    many people who try
    to predict that kind of stuff.
[03:48] ---
    What groups are in the list?
[03:49] ---
    Let's see... There are, of course,
    those who went to the nationals last year.
[03:54] ---
    And...
[03:56] ---
    Ah...
[03:57] ---
    Saint Snow. They passed the last regional
    prelims as the top-ranked group,
[04:00] ---
    and won eighth place in the final round.
[04:04] ---
    The older sister Sarah
    is a third-year student this year.
[04:06] ---
    This is her last chance,
    so she's in it to win it.
[04:09] ---
    I bet both of them are pretty fired up.
[04:12] ---
    Let's see who else...
[04:14] ---
    Ah, Aqours!
[04:15] ---
    --What?!
    --Really?!
[04:17] ---
    --See?
    --That's us, zura.
[04:20] ---
    Hey, what're they saying about us?
[04:23] ---
    Although Aqours didn't
    pass the last regional prelims,
[04:27] ---
    their performance in the qualifiers this year
[04:29] ---
    was so splendid that it was a fair match
    for the groups that went to the nationals.
[04:34] ---
    We're looking forward to seeing their growth.
[04:37] ---
    Looking forward...
[04:39] ---
    If I use my dark powers as a fallen angel,
[04:43] ---
    this is but a trifle!
[04:46] ---
    Right. It is but a trifle!
[04:51] ---
    I would expect nothing less
    from one who made a contract with me,
[04:55] ---
    my little demon Lili!
[04:56] ---
    How insolent! Never have I signed
    a contract with the likes of you!
[05:02] ---
    --What's going on?
    --"Lili"?
[05:04] ---
    They sure must've fallen far, zura.
[05:06] ---
    --Yeah.
    --No! It's not like that!
[05:09] ---
    Welcome to Hell Zone.
[05:11] ---
    Hold it!
[05:12] ---
    I'm glad you guys seem to be having fun!
[05:14] ---
    Even you, Chika-chan?!
[05:16] ---
    It says that for
    the regional prelims this time around,
[05:18] ---
    the groups who will proceed
    to the nationals will be decided
[05:20] ---
    by the votes at the prelim sites
    and on the internet.
[05:22] ---
    That's good! It's better than
    having to wait to hear the results.
[05:26] ---
    It's not that simple.
[05:30] ---
    Each school's students will be at the site
    to root for their school idol group.
[05:36] ---
    Even though they'll hold
    internet voting, too,
[05:38] ---
    schools with many students
    will still be at an advantage.
[05:40] ---
    Then could it be that...
[05:42] ---
    That's right. In terms of number of students,
[05:45] ---
    Uranohoshi has the biggest disadvantage.
[05:58] ---
    "Dance Formation Idea Notebook"
[06:06] ---
    That may be the only answer after all.
[06:11] ---
    I think so, too.
[06:14] ---
    That brings back memories.
    So you kept it, huh?
[06:20] ---
    Don't tell me... you want to do it?
[06:24] ---
    Don't tell me... you don't wanna do it?
[06:29] ---
    You do understand
    the situation we're in, don't you?
[06:31] ---
    We have no choice but to take a chance on it.
[06:33] ---
    --But...
    --My feelings haven't changed.
[06:38] ---
    Mari...
[06:39] ---
    This time, I agree with Mari-san.
[06:42] ---
    We do everything we can
    to keep our school alive.
[06:46] ---
    I think that's my duty as president
    of the student council, so...
[06:50] ---
    Moreover, this is our last chance.
[06:55] ---
    But this isn't something we can do.
[06:58] ---
    It's something we cannot do.
[06:59] ---
    That's not really true.
    We were so close that time, too. So close...
[07:04] ---
    But we couldn't.
[07:08] ---
    Worse than that, you injured your leg, Mari.
[07:11] ---
    It was my fault that I injured myself.
[07:14] ---
    I wanted to catch up with you,
    so I tried too hard.
[07:17] ---
    She's right. Moreover,
    there are nine of us now.
[07:20] ---
    It's not just us.
[07:23] ---
    No... we shouldn't!
[07:26] ---
    We tried to reach what we couldn't reach...
[07:29] ---
    ...and because of that, someone got hurt.
[07:32] ---
    And now, we are going to
    push that on Chika and the others?
[07:37] ---
    This has to...!
[07:50] ---
    Mari!
[08:03] ---
    Oof...!
[08:11] ---
    Don't speak so negatively
    about what we did together.
[08:15] ---
    Those memories are very precious to me.
[08:19] ---
    That's why I want to see this through.
[08:21] ---
    I want to complete the Aqours
    that we dreamed of back then.
[08:24] ---
    "Dance Formation Idea Notebook"
[08:35] ---
    Shiitake looked at me...
[08:37] ---
    Yes, among the performing groups,
    we have the least number of students.
[08:43] ---
    You certainly are at a disadvantage.
[08:45] ---
    You'll just have to give
    a knockout performance
[08:47] ---
    to overcome your disadvantage
    in terms of number of students.
[08:50] ---
    Yeah, I know. But a knockout performance...
[08:54] ---
    Sis, you can take a bath now.
[08:56] ---
    I think it's something more
    than simply being good.
[08:59] ---
    In fact, many Love Live performers
    these days can sing and dance
[09:04] ---
    in the same league as our sempai idols.
[09:06] ---
    But no one thinks that they're equals.
[09:11] ---
    The shine of the pioneers
    who established the popularity of Love Live
[09:14] ---
    from the beginning...
[09:16] ---
    The light that can never be reached...
[09:20] ---
    The light that can't be reached...
[09:25] ---
    What makes us Aqours?
[09:27] ---
    Yeah.
[09:28] ---
    What does it mean for
    us to walk our own path?
[09:32] ---
    What is our shine?
[09:34] ---
    I've come to realize that
    it's important to find the answers
[09:37] ---
    after performing in Love Live...
[09:40] ---
    And yet, I still can't put them into words.
[09:43] ---
    They haven't taken shape yet.
[09:46] ---
    So I want them to take shape.
[09:49] ---
    Take shape...
[09:53] ---
    To hear something like that
    from Chika-san now... It must be fate.
[09:58] ---
    I'll tell them about that, okay?
[10:00] ---
    What? But that's...
[10:02] ---
    What? What're you talking about?
[10:06] ---
    There's this formation that
    the three of us created in order to advance
[10:10] ---
    to the Love Live final round two years ago.
[10:12] ---
    Formation?
[10:14] ---
    --Falling Angels?
    --Zura?
[10:16] ---
    Ra... Ra... Ra...?
[10:18] ---
    --We're not playing shiritori.
    --Ah...
[10:20] ---
    I didn't know there was something like that!
    That's amazing! Teach us how!
[10:24] ---
    But Mari hurt her leg while trying to do it.
[10:28] ---
    In addition, it'll be a lot of work
    for the other members, too.
[10:31] ---
    What point is there
    in taking such a big risk now?
[10:34] ---
    Why not?
[10:36] ---
    Kanan-chan! When are we gonna do it
    if we don't do it now?!
[10:39] ---
    We made a promise
    at the beginning, didn't we?!
[10:41] ---
    Let's struggle as hard as we can!
    Love Live is right in front of us!
[10:45] ---
    Now is the time to struggle!
    I want us to do everything we can!
[10:50] ---
    But this formation requires a lot
    from the person in the center.
[10:54] ---
    It was me that time...
    but can you really do it, Chika?!
[11:00] ---
    I'll be fine. I'll do it!
[11:03] ---
    Chika...
[11:05] ---
    Looks like it's decided. Let's hand
    that notebook over, Kanan-san.
[11:10] ---
    In order to make a breakthrough as Aqours,
[11:14] ---
    there's a wall that we
    must overcome without fail.
[11:17] ---
    Now may be that time.
[11:22] ---
    But let me tell you one thing.
    If I judge that it's dangerous,
[11:25] ---
    I'll stop you, Chika, even if it means
    we have to withdraw from Love Live, okay?
[11:37] ---
    Ow, ow, ow...
[11:38] ---
    Chika! Be quiet!
[11:41] ---
    It's more difficult than I thought...
[11:42] ---
    Chika!
[11:49] ---
    Chika!
[11:51] ---
    I'm sorry, Mito-nee! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!
[11:54] ---
    You brat!
[11:56] ---
    What're you gonna do about the doors?!
[11:58] ---
    Stop disturbing our guests, Mito.
[12:01] ---
    R-Right.
[12:03] ---
    Here we go... Aah!
[12:20] ---
    Are you worried?
[12:22] ---
    I was afraid it'd turn out like this.
[12:26] ---
    I wanted the three of
    us to do that formation.
[12:29] ---
    Then why are you having
    Chika and the others do it?
[12:32] ---
    It's like we're forcing it on them.
[12:34] ---
    I trust that Chika-chi can do it.
[12:38] ---
    The Aqours this time will definitely succeed.
[12:41] ---
    You believe that, too, right, Kanan?
[12:47] ---
    Love Live! Sunshine!!
[12:51] ---
    Here we go!
[12:53] ---
    Chika! Go for it!
[13:00] ---
    Are you okay?!
[13:01] ---
    I-I'm okay. I'm okay.
[13:06] ---
    One more time!
[13:07] ---
    Let's take a little break.
[13:09] ---
    You've been doing this
    for five days. You'll get sick.
[13:12] ---
    No, I can still keep going.
    I feel like I'm almost there.
[13:17] ---
    There are only two weeks
    until the regional prelims.
[13:20] ---
    If you push too hard and get injured now...
[13:22] ---
    Yeah, I know.
[13:24] ---
    But I want to try.
[13:27] ---
    You know, when I sang
    for the first time here, I thought...
[13:31] ---
    ...I couldn't have done anything
    without everyone's support.
[13:35] ---
    At the Love Live regional prelims...
    and the last qualifiers, too...
[13:39] ---
    I was able to do my best
    because I was with you guys.
[13:40] ---
    "Dance Formation Idea Notebook"
[13:42] ---
    Everyone at school as well as
    the townspeople have helped us, too.
[13:47] ---
    So, I want to repay their
    support at least once.
[13:50] ---
    I'll be careful not to get injured,
    so let me try a little bit longer.
[13:56] ---
    Chika-chan...
[14:03] ---
    Ow, ow, ow...
[14:05] ---
    Are you okay?!
[14:06] ---
    I'm fine!
[14:09] ---
    I do understand how she feels,
    but I'm still worried.
[14:13] ---
    Yeah.
[14:14] ---
    Then why don't you two stop her?
[14:17] ---
    I think she's more likely
    to listen to you guys than to me.
[14:23] ---
    You don't want to?
[14:24] ---
    As I said, I do understand how she feels.
[14:28] ---
    Yeah.
[14:30] ---
    Chika-chan was the normal monster.
[14:34] ---
    Monster?
[14:36] ---
    The normal monster, Chika-chi.
[14:38] ---
    Everything about her is normal.
[14:40] ---
    She's always watching
    the sparkling light from afar.
[14:45] ---
    The truth is, she's got
    incredible power, and yet...
[14:47] ---
    She says she's just normal
    and is always on the sidelines.
[14:52] ---
    So she thinks that she wants
    to make it work on her own.
[14:57] ---
    Not just watching, but with her own hands...
[15:15] ---
    Chika.
[15:20] ---
    Kanan-chan...?
[15:42] ---
    Oh? What's going on, Riko-chan?
[15:44] ---
    Ah, Shima-san. Where's Chika-chan?
[15:47] ---
    She said she'd go practice a little.
[15:51] ---
    Practice...? This late?
[16:01] ---
    Ouch!
[16:04] ---
    Chika-chan...
[16:05] ---
    One more time.
[16:06] ---
    She said that if she asked you to come,
    you'd probably stop her, so...
[16:10] ---
    I'm sorry.
[16:11] ---
    That's okay. But it's in
    the middle of the night...
[16:15] ---
    Well, after Kanan-chan said that to her...
[16:18] ---
    Chika, promise me...
[16:21] ---
    ...that you'll give up if you can't
    do it by tomorrow morning.
[16:25] ---
    You've worked hard, Chika.
    But you must be at your limits.
[16:31] ---
    Kanan-chan...
[16:34] ---
    Since she herself
    was challenging it two years ago,
[16:37] ---
    she may know better than anyone
    how hard it is.
[16:57] ---
    She's so close.
[16:59] ---
    Yeah, very close.
[17:03] ---
    --Almost!
    --Almost!
[17:06] ---
    Ahh, come on!
[17:11] ---
    What am I doing wrong?
[17:16] ---
    --Chika-chan!
    --Chika-chan!
[17:18] ---
    Don't get frustrated.
    Relax and just practice like usual.
[17:23] ---
    Riko-chan...
[17:24] ---
    You can do it.
[17:25] ---
    I know you can do it!
[17:31] ---
    Hang in there!
[17:32] ---
    We'll be watching you!
[17:34] ---
    Okay!
[17:41] ---
    --Chika!
    --Chika-chan!
[17:43] ---
    Fight!
[17:44] ---
    Go for it, zura!
[17:58] ---
    Argh! This is supposed to be
    the scene where I do it!
[18:04] ---
    Why...? Why can't I do it?
[18:08] ---
    Riko-chan... You-chan...
    Everyone's rooting for me so much, and yet...
[18:16] ---
    No... I don't wanna give up!
[18:19] ---
    I haven't done anything yet!
    I haven't been able to do anything yet!
[18:26] ---
    Beep! Boom!
[18:28] ---
    Beeeeeeep!
[18:30] ---
    I'm the normal monster, You-solo!
[18:33] ---
    Hey, I won't let you have your way!
    Riko-pi is here, too!
[18:36] ---
    --What?! Boooom!
    --Bam!
[18:42] ---
    Do you still think that
    you're a normal person?
[18:44] ---
    What?
[18:47] ---
    You're the normal monster Chika-chi.
[18:49] ---
    You're the leader, but you've come
    this far because of everyone's help.
[18:53] ---
    But you haven't done anything at all.
    You're thinking all that, aren't you?
[18:59] ---
    Yeah, because it's true.
[19:03] ---
    Chika-chan, who should you thank
    for getting this far?
[19:08] ---
    That's... everyone at school...
    the townspeople, You-chan, Riko-chan,
[19:15] ---
    --and...
    --Haven't you forgotten
    the most important person?
[19:19] ---
    What?
[19:22] ---
    Who should we thank for bringing
    the current Aqours together?
[19:25] ---
    Who suggested starting it first?
[19:28] ---
    That's...
[19:29] ---
    Because of you, Chika-chan,
    I started being a school idol.
[19:35] ---
    So did I, and the others, too.
[19:38] ---
    No one else could've created
    the current Aqours.
[19:48] ---
    Because of you, we're here now.
[19:54] ---
    Don't forget that.
[20:01] ---
    Someone who thinks she's average
    continues to challenge herself
[20:04] ---
    without giving up...
[20:06] ---
    I think that's pretty amazing!
[20:09] ---
    I think it requires quite a bit of courage.
[20:12] ---
    That's who you are, Chika-chan.
    That's why we all want to try our best.
[20:16] ---
    That's why we wanted to be part of Aqours.
[20:20] ---
    Don't do this because you think
    you owe it to all of us.
[20:22] ---
    We are all excited...
[20:26] ---
    ...about being able to find our own shine
    together with you, Chika-chan.
[20:34] ---
    Everyone...
[20:36] ---
    It's a new Aqours wave.
[20:40] ---
    Chika, it's time.
[20:43] ---
    Are you ready?
[21:04] ---
    Thank you, Chika.
[21:28] ---
    We'll push our limits until the end
[21:31] ---
    (How'll it turn out? Heart-pounding wave)
[21:34] ---
    It's time to overcome our impatient selves
[21:36] ---
    (That's right! Wave!! Go beyond)
[21:39] ---
    We can't think about anything else
[21:42] ---
    (How'll it turn out? Heart-pounding wave)
[21:44] ---
    Our dreams that have become one, run on
[21:47] ---
    (That's right! Wave!! Can't stop)
[21:49] ---
    So frustrated, we can't sit still
[21:54] ---
    I'm sure everyone understands that feeling
[22:05] ---
    Can we do it? (Hi!) We can! (Hi!)
[22:08] ---
    My heart crying out
    (and the shine it craves)
[22:12] ---
    Will prove it right before your eyes
[22:16] ---
    Can we do it? (Hi!) We can! (Hi!)
[22:19] ---
    That's the only choice (we decided)
    with super passionate jumps
[22:26] ---
    Can we grab hold of a new light?
[22:31] ---
    Let's believe (Yeah!)
[22:33] ---
    A "miracle wave" brings miracles
[22:58] ---
    I am so happy that the nine of us
    were able to sing here together today.
[23:04] ---
    Our own way of shining...
[23:06] ---
    What is it? What kind of form does it take?
[23:11] ---
    What the nine of us saw...
    What moved us... What we want to aim for...
[23:18] ---
    Our shine is in those
    sincere feelings... I'm sure of it!
[23:23] ---
    Thank you for believing in me, everyone!
[23:28] ---
    Wooooo, yeah!
[23:35] ---
    Next Time! "The Time Left."
[23:36] ---
    "#7 'The Time Left'"
