The continuity did not happen, just like that. They just play with fans' feelings.

Powerful eyes, yes. But it's a bit too little for the Season 2.

Interesting text: あちゃくらさんは自分の事を棚にあげた. It looks to me to translate literally to "Miss Achakura put herself (her own matters) on the shelf", which does not correspond to the official translation. But perhaps I'm not that far off and the original idea is how Achakura hoisted herself on her own petard.
