Notes & Trivia

 * NHK-E broadcast exclusive End Card: Ren Hazuki
 * This episode...
 * Is the first to feature a cold opening, with the "Previously on Love Live! Superstar!!" quick recap being played after the opening intro.
 * Also reveals that Ren's father is sending various game consoles to her daughter, implying that he works at a shop that sells them.
 * The "UR" in the episode name refers to the UR rarity in the mobile game, Love Live! School idol festival.
 * Ironically, the card title for the episode name has the UR icon from the mobile game.

Callbacks to previous Love Live! series

 * Ren continues the tradition of being a rather dorky student council president.
 * Kanon's encounter with Ren is very similar to how Nana Nakagawa did to Yu Takasaki in Shout Out Your Love.

Continuity Notes

 * Ren continues to adapt technology by playing various game consoles.
 * After Ren's father had donated the money to keep Yuigaoka going, the Hazuki household's poverty status might have been averted, given that he keeps sending video game consoles to his daughter.
