In Episode 5, Yukirin warns Suzuko and Sonata that AKB0048 members are not allowed to investigate into who Sensei Sensei is. When Suzuko asks why, she tells them they will lose their belly buttons, which Sonata gullibly believes.

In Episode 6, Yukirin joins Takamina and Sayaka to teach the girls about image and personality. She generously offers the trainees the use of her clothes, but Sayaka warns the trainees that she and Takamina are the "Twin Towers of Bad Fashion." Yukirin looks embarassed and blushes.

In Episode 7, Yukirin is present during the dance practice rehearsals. After one such rehearsal, she joins Takamina, Mayuyu, and Yuuko in following Tsubasa to the shrine next to the AKB0048 stadium. Once inside, Yukirin is shown the image of her original predecessor along with the other girls. After hearing the news that Takamina will soon graduate and be replaced as team captain by Kanata, Yukirin refuses to have anything to do with it, yelling at Tsubasa and running after Takamina.

Lancastar Concert[]
