It's long been my theory that they made Iikubo a subleader because she was oldest, but never going to be one of the top in seniority thanks to 9th generation being around. So they threw her a bone and turned one mostly meaningless role into two mostly meaningless roles. Now she's gone and there's no longer a disconnect between group seniority and age seniority.
