Not Telling

Is there any chance that Rena and Riko are the members who were rumored to have helped Maho's assaulters?
No.
Those are Mahohon's vocal supporters throughout this entire ordeal.
What we can be sure of (it's an undeniable fact), is that the guilty perpetrators are still in NGT48, safe and sound, protected by AKS.

For what it's worth, I don't think Rika is involved in this situation.
However, that said, I am quite clear in that I want to see her leave the group as well, simply due to her long row of scandals, which includes being toxic towards a.) fellow NGT members, b.) other 48 group girls, and c.) Other fans (e.g., shit-talking fans to other fans at handshake events). This kind of behavior is 100% intolerable, and before this NGT disaster happened, I thought Rika was the big problem of 48G due to her toxicity, which can cause so many cliques, rifts, and bad situations overall.
What we've seen now with Ayakani/Gatanee and the other members mentioned in this context, plus the outside people such as Jo, Inapoo, etc., as well as lax management, is just atrocious. It is absolutely ridiculous, and in my opinion, there are only two ways to completely mend this situation, even though that might prove difficult:
Option 1. Fire Ayakani and Gatanee, likely also Ogiyuka for her involvement with Inapoo. Look for at least disciplinary actions towards Noepii and Katomina. Fire Rika for her issues (unrelated to this case). Fire all management that has permitted this to go on (that would include Imamura, but as we now know, he is merely relocated within AKS/48G which is highly disappointing). Pursue legal action towards Jo, Inapoo, and the others. Pursue legal action towards Bunshun due to their involvement with Inapoo.
Option 2. Fire relevant management that has done nothing. Dissolve NGT48 as a whole. Do not transfer any girls to any of the sister groups. Alternative is to transfer only some girls, but then those girls needs to be 100% innocent and clear of any drama. Unfortunately they are NGT48 girls, and so one cannot be sure what kind of fans they have in their wake, and as such I would much rather have them gone from 48G than risk having this toxic disaster spread any further.
Second option sucks, but at least it removes all of the problem girls in one go.
How NGT48 is going to somehow rectify all of this out of nowhere is beyond me. And I just don't think they have it in them. Sorry to say.

Yes, this is beyond ridiculous. It's not even a scandal, it's a criminal matter.
And the fact that NGT management have tried to cover it up, along with AKS, is disgusting. And the responsible members are still in NGT so far, along with Nakai who has been given free reign to do as she pleases, despite her toxic behavior. So, even though Mahohon urges fans to not hate NGT (which I for what it's worth do not), I can't help but think that it's very difficult for me to feel excited about that group. Especially so given how management behaves, and that there are such elements within the group, contributing to its downfall.
Imamura not too long ago had to apologize for NGT having the lowest number of theater performances in 48G, and on top of that the lacking performance standards of the girls. For example a new group like STU blows NGT out of the water with singing and dancing alone. Certainly groups can have "anomalies", i.e., certain members that are truly exceptional at one or more thing, but there's also the fact that idols more or less are similar in skills. So it's up to the manager to make sure that the girls gets proper training, and he has failed here. And he has now also failed again in making sure that the girls are safe, and that the right thing is done in a matter like this.
I'm afraid that AKS won't fire Imamura, and that the responsible girls will also not be fired. On top of this, it's likely Mahohon will just graduate.
All of this is beyond inexcusable.
Of course, I hope that heads will roll, so to speak, and it needs to, for the sake of the girls themselves, and for the fans. Otherwise it's hard to take NGT seriously, despite the wonderful girls they have.
