Did someone understand why Ruby was so pissed at the Thought of Aqua doing it with Akane i have suspicions but i am not sure i think it could either be that she has a crush on him or she thinks he is reborn and through that mentally older than akane?

[@Shigeru0508]

"you´re bad at judging people. stay away from dating for a while" Looks like Aqua was right about Ruby^^`

[@yellemdeluanire]

Now we can see just how willing and dedicated Akane truly is, I was really looking forward to anime portraying this moment because in manga it really shocked me, think overall they did fairly well!

[@chrismeandyou]

Felt more like Death Note there, haha.

[@ThomasHall-r5i]

@@chrismeandyou Aqua gives off Light Yagami vibes.

[@zam023]

As long as she does not piss-off Ruby. You saw that dark side coming out of Ruby. It is not Kana that Akane should tiptoe around.

[@rebeccareed6801]

@@lupusreginabeta3318 I am guessing it has to do with her father, specifically about how Ai and her father did the deed. I wonder if she knows, suspects or blames her father for Ai’s death? It could explain why her eye went dark.

[@rudy941218]

Loved Akane this episode, taking Aqua's side unconditionally and stooping down to Kana's level of petty, and acting cute all the while too.

[@Timmycoo]

Prob my fav Akane episode.

[@pleaseclap7890]

Ngl I kinda ship GOA and Abiko, if for no other reason than it would be hilarious whenever someone asks them how they first met. “Well, when we first met, she called me a talentless hack that was ruining the adaptation of her manga and demanded I be fired.”

[@didsva]

I kinda ship them too after this episode❤️

[@coltonwilliams4153]

That dynamic was adorable.

[@nisukenakasaki8968]

I thought the Same thing as well 🥺

[@deandredukes95]

I love that Kana just activated Nokotan mode 😂

[@killermetal10]

I already loved her back when I read the manga, but when Akane looked Aqua straight in the eyes and said, "I'll help you kill them" she went from best girl to RIDE OR DIE! Get yourself a girl like Akane

[@bobfrancis123]

Akane's admission she's crazy, too and the first appearance of Ruby's Dark Star chilled me. And I think the ghost of Goro is elevated in the anime over the direct depiction in the magna. It's absolutely frightening.

[@actionvids35]

Really liking the mirror scene with Aqua that he almost has split peronality almost like fight club. Both are one the same but also seperate he wants to live his life but can't overcome the trauma and abondon his hate for the guy responsible for Ai'murder. While at the same time Akane and Kana rivarly really is firing up both respect one another but also want to beat the other. Fitting that the characters they play in play also have rivarly between them,

[@donnienall626]

I'd be 100% on board if next week was an hour long and it was just the play.

[@Tommy_Lee123]

IHI STAGE AROUND TOKYO is a 360-around theater built in Tokyo seven years ago.

[@sorabowden5812]

Ngl , best episode by far in my opinion and all thanks to Akane. It was so good and then I gotta admit, I didn’t expect that little moment from ruby. Interesting.

[@Ticking-time-bomb]

It quite funny how the stage play will not only depend on the "actors" performance but also the voice actors since they will have to deliver the emotions through their tone to match the lvl of acting each character should have😂 BASICALLY include the animation studio to also pace it perfectly that we feel like we're in a play lol this play is bigger than the Mangaka thought.

[@actionvids35]

Prepare ti Get you a ride or die like Akane. She’d go through hell and back for you 🔥 This girl is keeper this kind girl youm miss your chance. But at same time it feels like that if you piss her off or cheat on her prepare to get shived. This season has been on fire so far.

[@JurassicGodzillaFan]

Great episode. Also, this was the first time we saw Ruby star pupil turn black. Looks like she's got a villainous instinct in her too.

[@azurerandomness]

This episode felt so long like man amazing how it was paced

[@cdelio8716]

Oh Brandon Season 2 will be wild I tell u

[@MUSUTAFA12]

My oshi arima kana is so cool ☺️ Next episode gonna be hype

[@zam023]

Love the part where Kana going superior on Akane... LOL >_

[@ivanova5791]

That scene between Aqua and Akane be like: Aqua: Look at my black star and be afraid, be very afraid. Akane: B*tch please

[@xxx_rimuru9620]

This episode is best episode hands down the akane part gave me goosebumps that really was a twist I didn’t expect that definitely top 10 anime moments for this year i just loved this episode the rivalry with kana and akane and the ruby part was crazy because she’s usually a happy jolly girl but it’s interesting to see that side of her and the duo rivalry with kana and himekawa and aqua and akane i love it and overall a great episode definitely 10/10 but im also interested to see how aqau overcomes his trauma in the next episode for the stage play great review btw ❤💯

[@zennvirus7980]

Objectively... I agree with you. This episode felt like a car drifting around. And picking speed. Man, those eye shots! Those looks... Aqua and Ruby are one hell of a pair of siblings. Kana and Akane too. We have not seen much of Ruby this season, yet we've been given one hell of an Aqua arc. To say that this play is shaping up to be one hell of a climatic battle between actors and their inner demons... is a gross understatement. Next week, sparks will fly. And light a fire. Especially when it is Aqua's turn to do emotional acting. The rage, the loyalty... he's got those down. But the grief... Oh, hell, Oshi no Ko, you are NOT pulling yer punches.

[@AHBrandonReviews]

I love how ruby's main role this season was to het the number of the person she shouldn't lol

[@kennhern]

Man, the episode blitzed plotlines like no tomorrow. The pacing went too damn fast, yet really cohesive at the same time

[@SavvisGeo]

That yandere Akane... peak girl

[@nisukenakasaki8968]

That talk between Aqua & Akane on the balcony was even better than in the Manga 🤯👌🏻 She is definitely the perfect, maybe too much, match for him 😤 Her and Kana' rivalry is so hilarious to watch as always 🤣 Respect to Melt for protecting Ruby's friend 🙏🏻 Gotanda is pretty much Aqua' adoptive father at this point 😂 Can't wait to see how Doga Kobo cooked the theater movie on scene 👀 This season surpassed the 1st one without a doubt 😎

[@colt1903]

I already knew this when episode 1 dropped weeks ago, but yeah, this is my AOTY. Again. There is no contest.😂

[@didsva]

Man this episode was so amazing that I was so excited for a while even after the episode ended. Also now we know that Akane and Aqua is the supreme ship. As Akane does take so good care of him by cooking him and his adopted father lots of tasty food. And not only that she also would be totally in with his revenge plan. Which is so romantic in a way IMAO. Like I really thinks it’s so cute and wholesome how Akane will stand by his side even if murder as criminality would be involved. Then we also have Ruby which showed a new side to herself. After her friend had to explained what Aqua and his gf Akane might be doing until so late every day. As Ruby would never forgive her brother if he managed to make a high school girl pregnant. Which shows that she also has some trauma left from her mother. Also loved Akane’s and Kana’s rivalry. As Kana really had those bitchy mean girl energy going as she did mock Akane because of that old interview she did. Last but not least we also have the play starting now next week. And Aqua is trying to use his trauma to his benefit in his emotional acting. Which will be very interesting to see how this will go next week

[@VictorLiso]

It's crazy how insanely perfect for one another they are.

[@jeansanchez5209]

this episode, proves once again why Akane is the best girl. and yes I know their relationship is not the healthiest but that's okay for me

[@bojackbojackbojack]

The jury-rigging of Aqua's performance might not happen next episode. But it's coming.

[@coltonwilliams4153]

I think that this episode shows that the best performers all have some kind of darkness in them. Aqua, Kana, Akane, and Ruby are all just a little bit crazy, and it’s that crazy that elevates their abilities to perform. I feel like Ai was the same way with it.

[@nathankeel6667]

My stance on this whole thing is akane and aqua deserve one and other and aqua and kanna are perfect for each other. But all 3 need therapy.

[@SoulSurvivor-tl5bv]

If looks can kill that one is it no doubt about it.

[@Timmycoo]

No one talks about how implemental The Producer is during the episode. I feel like he is left out and he's actually pretty important.

[@collecter343]

Well that was a *uckin turn!!! Whiplash this entire episode!!!

[@deadline6149]

1:49 nah, for the narrative they are 2 ppl that should not be allowed to interact, for both of their mental health. (unless one of them gets character development) Of course it depends if you want Aqua to be a normal person after all of this happens. 6:53 Tokyo Blade is probably the best arc overall, it's a perfect mash up of all the plotlines and intentions in OnK.

[@jdoggivjc]

If people weren't already convinced, it's pretty clear now: Akane's yandere mode has been activated.

[@AggieCEO]

Akane is a GODDESS

[@paulr.9029]

Akane is like the wife in My Home Hero. If Aqua kills someone, she will be right there beside him to fill a tub with chemicals to dissolve the body

[@animeguy2099]

Akane is the perpect girlfriend willing do everything for aqua but to me you need to end this with a harem ending that all

[@darkwolfz4]

Akane is ready to become Aqua Bonnie to his Clyde

[@guala4964]

4:19 i took a step back and thought about it... This is the exact same thing Ai was doing almost all her career... but I would like to point out Ruby... Idk what was that about, but she feels like she could go yandere any minute... idk if its just my imagination or what, but she is sus now + i dont believe for a second shes gone inside just for toilet

[@deadline6149]

the thing with Ruby was her thinking about teen pregnancy, her mum was a teen when she got pregnant

[@Ahjenta]

Good friends help you move. Good girlfriend helps you move the body.

@@lucygirl1111 Pretty sure she was reminded of Ai who gave birth young and died early. She dosent want similar stuff with Aqua to happend

[@Phantom_373]

This episode honestly made me dislike Akane more, She's really weird and being so willing to kill is not normal for someone with no trauma that could lead to it

[@reijinvyskra1759]

She literally wanted to kill herself after being bullied online. I don't think this is a stretch that she isn't right in the head.

[@KitKatze1]

I'm still don't romanticize unhealty attachments to disturbed, emotionally unavailable boys. Akane is desperate and Aqua will only take advantage of her. He is 100% consumed by his twisted "love" for Ai. They are messed up, it's not cute it's scary and messy. (still love it tho :D )

[@BingusWeeb]

Marry her
