I think Ai-chan definitely did revolutionize MM dynamics, you summed it up so effectively I don't need to say more! About 11/12ki paralleling 7/8ki, I hope management doesn't botch up their handling of 12ki then, because 8ki was a management disaster. Then again, they seem to have been learning from their mistakes so far, so I can tentatively hope for the best.

Oh about Sayu doing the Yaguchi thing...she definitely won't be quite as harsh, but she DID point out on one ustream program once that she wished 9/10ki had a bit more sense of seniority between them because she thought it wasn't fair to 9ki that 10ki wasn't appreciating them as senpai. It was a very touching statement because 9ki was saying that they didn't feel like they had the right to criticize 10ki since they didn't have that much more experience than them, but Sayu encouraged them and told them to have more pride in themselves as senpai because they've been through 2 more concert tours than 10ki (Fantasy DX and Ai Believe) and that experience really counts for something. So in a sense she only encouraged them to have more consciousness about seniority rather than enforcing it, probably because while she's happy that they're all getting along, I suppose she also has an eye to the future where 9ki will be at the top and therefore they need to have that confidence as senpai. But I digress. XD

Also, Idol Psychopath Meter yes! Matsuura is so the evil mastermind type. The kind that plots your untimely demise and you won't know it. Until it's too late. Kamei probably isn't a straight on psychopath, but something about her makes me not trust her on instinct. I cannot explain how or why, but it's been that way since I joined the fandom. I like her, but I don't trust her. It's a strange feeling. XD

On Mizuki as Psychopath: she so is. I look forward to her eventual reign as MizuQueen when Sayu finally graduates. She just fits the type that manipulates people into doing things for her, and she's just plain scary sometimes. Did you know she totally got banned from changing around Momoko (from Berryz XD) because the manager was like "it's dangerous" (me: to WHO? and HOW?). Yeah. Mizuki ranks high on the danger level meter for me, and the scariest part for me is that everyone in 9/10/11ki loves her. That, is what you call being subtle. Those are the worst types... ._. Lmao.

Sayu's Psychopath level actually isn't that high compared to Mizuki's. Leader's a known quantity, that diminishes her threat level. Maachan, on the other hand, ranks high on Potential Evil Mastermind, except she's still high on kiddy Kool-Aid so she hasn't woken to her potential yet. Or not >_> We might never know. Haha.

Conspiracy theories, I love 'em!

I get the impression Sayu is very self-conscious of seniority even when she appears to disregard it. Just look at her Aichan adoration. XD In turn, given how Koharu apparently hated her time in MM, Sayu might be feeling very self-conscious about her previous turns at mentoring.
It makes you wonder how she felt about the Gorokkies getting lost in the shuffle as "The New Kids" compared to the Golden Age gens, compounded by how Mikitty disregarded all of that, and then her own developing sense of intense loyalty to 6th gen, even as the Gorokkies were basically one entity by Platinum Era.

Nah, Matsuura makes sure you know it, because she relishes the anticipatory fear of her victims. "Ai no muchi dayo!" XD

I can't decide what's more frightening: the fact that Mizuki might be dangerous to MOMOKO OF ALL PEOPLE, or that maybe it's dangerous because if they team up, the world is so fucked.

Sayu's Psychopath level depends on who she's facing off against. She's pretty much helpless against 9+ gen, but all of the older ones beware.

Oh geez, I can definitely see Maachan using her incomprehensibility to manipulate everyone into doing her bidding.
I need to get to know 10th gen better. Would it be possible for Duu to be the Evil Mastermind siccing Maachan on her enemies?
