Oshi no Ko Leaves Fans Split Over Its Biggest Plot Twist Yet

by

As a devoted fan who has been captivated by the rollercoaster ride that is Oshi No Ko, I find myself utterly speechless after reading about the latest developments in chapter 161. The manga’s creators, Aka Akasaka and Mengo Yokoyari, have once again outdone themselves with the mind-blowing twists and turns that keep readers on their toes.

The anime series “Oshi No Ko” garnered significant attention within the anime community following its debut episode, which featured a major twist at the end. This twist removed the original protagonist, Ai Hoshino, from the story through an unexpected attack. Despite this, the creators Aka Akasaka and Mengo Yokoyari continue to produce new chapters for the manga. As the anime’s second season comes to a close this fall, discussions among manga readers are buzzing due to the extraordinary events unfolding in chapter 161. Regardless of how the next chapter begins, it is certain to include some surprising moments given the dramatic cliffhanger that has been left unresolved.

Heed this notice: If you haven’t read Chapter 161 of Oshi No Ko yet, beware as we delve into spoiler-filled discussion. The story opens with Aqua confronting Hikaru Kamiki, the primary antagonist, who was responsible for Ai Hoshino’s death, mother of both Aqua and Ruby. If you’re not up to speed on this villain, Aqua offers an introduction in the chapter: “Hikaru Kamiki. He became infatuated with the notion that eliminating those capable of surpassing Ai Hoshino would elevate her status, using his charm to spread these ideas among others. Having lost his nobility, he’s now a shattered soul who finds fulfillment in taking lives. As such, his mission has become to eliminate Ruby Hoshino.” Given Aqua’s attachment to his sister, it’s hardly surprising that he is ready to confront Hikaru with a blade.

Oshi No Ko’s Big Twist

Due to Ruby resembling her mom and posing a challenge to Ai’s reputation in Hikaru’s eyes, Aqua is taking the actions he believes are vital to protect his sister. Although Aqua harbors aspirations beyond the idol realm, he’s prepared to sacrifice everything for his sister’s well-being. Instead of attacking Kamiki, Aqua decides to wound himself, driving the knife into his own abdomen. To clarify his intentions, the hero openly reveals his strategy.

“I intend to take action against you, but I won’t allow her, your sister, to be labeled as the sibling of a murderer in the press. To achieve this, let’s create an alternate narrative. For instance, in Hikaru Kamiki’s biopic, he was falsely accused of a crime. In reality, he had a dispute with the scriptwriter that led to a violent altercation involving a knife. Both men then fell off a cliff and perished. This fabricated story will keep the media and public from knowing the truth about Hikaru’s alleged criminal actions.

Unfortunately, it seems we’ll have to wait for the anime adaptation to tackle the dramatic turn of events, as the second season is nearing its end and Studio Doga Kobo needs time to catch up with chapter 161 in the series. However, there’s still one episode left in the current season before it concludes. Although a third season hasn’t been officially announced yet, given the anime’s popularity, there’s a good chance we might see another season soon. Since the second season followed closely on the heels of the first, a similar pattern could occur for the potential third season.

Although popular manga series like “Demon Slayer,” “My Hero Academia,” and “Jujutsu Kaisen” have concluded their stories, there’s no indication that “Oshi No Ko” is planning to follow suit just yet. However, given the way the latest chapter unfolded, things might take an unexpected turn.
