It's The Ultimate Dream, Don't You Think!?

Three months after Poppin’Party's self-sponsored live show, the local live house owners, including CiRCLE's Marina Tsukishima, organize the BanG Dream! Girls Band Challenge, a tournament with the final taking place at the Nippon Budokan. Poppin'Party and Afterglow express their interest in participating, and although Kasumi invites Rokka to join them, she declines as she is still searching for a band. Meanwhile, CHU2 struggles to find a new guitarist for RAISE A SUILEN until she watches Rokka's performance at the cultural festival. CHU2 invites Poppin'Party, Roselia, and Rokka to RAS' latest concert, where she proclaims the band's entry into the Girls Band Challenge and openly offers Rokka an audition, much to her dismay.

Scared to Death

After not performing in RAS' encore, Rokka is chased by CHU2 and PAREO in school and around town the next day, wanting to scout her for RAS. In the meantime, CHU2 meets with Yukina, reiterating her challenge to Roselia. Seeing similarities in the bands' philosophies, Yukina decides to have Roselia enter in the BanG Dream! Girls Band Challenge competition. Later in the night, after seeing Rokka practice her guitar in the Galaxy live house, Masking takes Rokka to CHU2's studio, where she performs alongside RAS. Unimpressed with Rokka's lackluster performance, CHU2 decides not to include her in RAS, explaining she cannot accept those withholding their skills to satisfy her.

I'm Not Leaving!

The preliminaries for the BanG Dream! Girls Band Challenge begin with the top two teams in vote count going to the finals at the Budokan. Roselia and RAS begin performing their live shows while a zoned-out Rokka comes to terms with her failed RAS audition. Meanwhile, Poppin'Party write a new song for their first live show in the preliminaries which they perform in front of a live audience and Rokka. Motivated by Poppin'Party's new song, Rokka quickly rushes to RAS' studio where she is given one last chance to audition.

PoPi-V!

Inspired by RAISE A SUILEN's music video (MV), Poppin'Party decide to make a MV of their own (dubbed PoPi-V). Taking cues from Pastel＊Palettes' MV and Rokka's ideas, Poppin'Party take random photos and videos with Rimi and Arisa putting the video together. After many sleepless days and nights, Poppin'Party are amazed by the MV they produced. They nervously upload the MV on the competition website but are excited by the likes they receive straight away. Later in the night, CHU2 confronts Roselia and proposes a band battle with RAS, which Yukina accepts.
