Yup, Ume is the best choice since the remaining seniors will graduate soon. Among 3rd gen, I agree those two have the potential but Ume is a bit older and less playful than Kubo (with their kouhai) Congrats to her. She'll do great as the next captain.
The debate on who's to be the next captain is finally over. Good choice for the management. Congratulations, Ume.
As i expected, Ume chan is definitely gonna get this role. It's not something that surprising to me, it's just a matter of time before they decide to announce it. She always emits leadership aura . Congrats to Ume chan!

along with an appearance in DownTown DXDX 2022 Her being Capricorn Blood Type A ended up in 32nd place in this years fortune ranking. And Captain Manatsu claiming Ume's personality as negative that she overeats when she feels stressed that things may not be going well or she didn't do things well https://disk.yandex.com/i/pQs-tEpeZ_K6bQ
