Next in Line to Win (ๅชๅๅ่ฃ Yลซshล Kลho) is the third episode for the 2nd season of the Love Live! Superstar!! anime series. It aired on July 31, 2022.
Summary[]
Ren finds out that Liella! will be the headliner at this year's Yoyogi School Idol Festival. They then realize that they have never actually won the Love Live!. That night, Kanon asks Sunny Passion about their endorsement. They say that Liella! did well, but not well enough to beat them. The next morning, Kinako, now more athletic, tells Kanon about Mei. The next day, Natsumi sees the festival and becomes interested. Meanwhile, backstage, the mysterious girl calls for Kanon and leaves. Kanon, with the other members, run outside, and watch the mysterious girl perform "Butterfly Wing", and win the whole festival. Kanon finds out that the winner, Wien Margarete, is a third-year middle school student. Outside her house, Wien tells Kanon that she will easily beat Liella!, the predicted winner, and that the competition is pointless. Kanon says that they were only predicted to win because of Sunny Passion. The next evening, the other students congratulate Kanon, and tells her that it is fine if she didn't get first place, as other clubs didn't win anything at all. The next day, before Liella!'s performance at school, Kanon tells the group that she wants everyone to be the song's center, and they perform "Go!! Restart".

Notes & Trivia[]
- NHK-E broadcast exclusive End Card: Wien Margarete (Butterfly Wing)
- A background character appears in this episode with a uniform that matches the Uranohoshi Girls' High School first-year uniform.
- The same stage where Tiny Stars was performed by Kanon and Keke appears again.
- Keke mentions that this is Sunny Passion's last year as school idols.
- Yuna mentions that there has never been a school that won Love Live! back-to-back. If Superstar!! took place in the main anime timeline, Yuna's remarks can be considered inconsistent as A-RISE won for a year and during the events of the first season of School idol project.
