what do you think of the recent chapter of oshi no ko?

Hi!

You can find my thoughts on chapter 134 here. As for chapter 135, my thoughts have not changed to be honest. I like the focus Ruby and Kana's friendship is having! For Kana, it is the chance to explore her own darkness, while for Ruby it is a way to empathize with Ai. There are 2 thematic points to this movie:

For the real Ai to come to life > it is a meta way to explore Ai and what she means for all the characters. Ai is the ultimate idol, so nobody really knew her. Not her friends, not her family. Throughout the movie every character is facing this ghost and coming up with their own interpretation of her. The end product (the movie) will probably answer the question: "Who was Ai Oshino?"

For Ruby and Aqua's story to have a different ending than Ai's. This is the final goal of the series. Thematically, Aqua and Ruby are Ai's second chance, so they should re-live the same story, but change the ending.

The current chapters are clearly conveying this ideas.

On the one hand Ruby is empathizing with Ai:

On the other hand Ruby and Kana's relationship won't end up like Ai and Nino's:

Other than this, the current chapter sets up two other ideas.

1 - The idea of growing up

The Director still sees Kana and Ruby as the children he tried to care for:

Still, they are already grown up:

Aqua choosing to take a step back instead of meddling with them is in itself an aknowledgement of their growth. In the beginning, Aqua would always insert himself in the narrative, manipulate things from the shadows and help others. For example, he protects Ruby from the idol industry and helps Kana shine. Right now, though, he chooses to trust them.

2 - Aqua is the one who sees Ai the least (probably)

Ruby (thanks to Kana) is able to see Ai as a normal girl. Aqua is instead idolizing her. This means that deep down he doesn't see Ai as her own person, but as an idealized image. Of course, this has a double meaning:

Aqua is Ai's fan, so he puts her on a pedestal like her other fans (including characters like Nino and Hikaru, who hurt her)

Aqua is Ai's son, so he doesn't see her objectively, but as a perfect person

This final point is important because to grow up a child needs to break their parents' pedestal. Ruby is slowly doing it:

While Aqua is still far away from it.

Thank you for the ask!

favorite oshi no ko character/s and why?

Hi!

I love all the main characters, but there are two I would call faves.

Ruby Oshino

Ruby's arc is probably the best surprise of the series tbh. Especially, because she is initially not focused on to the point it seems difficult she can reach the same level of complexity as Aqua or even Kana. And yet... she does! And she has one of the best developments imo.

I love Ruby's arc because it takes less space than Aqua, but it is incredibly powerful, which in a way mirrors her personality. Ruby is incredibly emotional and passionate. She feels both negative and positive feelings to the max. So, it is really no surprise she goes from being one of the most optimistic and hopeful characters to one of the most opportunistic and vengeful. Her DarkRuby phase shows she can be just as smart as Aqua and brings to the light all Ruby's repressed trauma.

The way she recovers thanks to Aqua and the discovery he is indeed Sensei is one of my favourite moments in the series. Not only that, but after facing Sarina, she is slowly starting to face Ai. The way she struggles with her mother's persona is beautiful and a wonderful way to explore both Ai and Ruby's feelings over her. Ruby is very empathetic and is clearly starting to understand her idol mother more.

In short, she is a highly traumatized character, who still chooses love, empathy and hope, whcih I find beautiful.

Akane Kurokawa

Akane's arc is less complex than Ruby, Aqua or even Kana's arcs. Still, everything about her is very well made, starting with her introduction. Akane's introductory arc might be one of my favourite in the series. It starts by focusing on Akane's spiral and by presenting her as unable to keep up with the others. So, it is brilliant how things get completely turned around in the finale, when we discover Akane is really a genius actress.

The executions is perfect and really peak writing imo. Not only that, but her whole introduction tells us what Akane's main conflict is about... She is so used to play characters she lacks a real personality. Not only that, but she is so good at acting precisely because she buries her real self deep inside, to the point she loses contact with her real wishes and emotions. This is why she initially fails in the reality show. She is asked to show her real self, but she can't because she doesn't know who she really is.

Akane lives in lies, be it her Ai-personality or her love story with Aqua. I think that a great conclusion for her would be to show others who she truly is.

Thank you for the ask!

Eyo, tagged by @canadianmapletea

Pick 10 characters from 10 fandoms and tag 10 people. Now my problem is, which fandoms do I deem important enough...?

1) Homura Akemi, Puella Magi Madoka Magica 2) Misao Kusakabe, Lucky Star! 3) Azusa Nakano, K-on! 4) Shinka Nibutani, Love, Chuunibyou, and Other Delusions! 5) Ruby Rose, RWBY 6) Hibiki, Kantai Collection 7) Sakuya Izayoi, Touhou Project 8) Yuki Nagato, The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya 9) Ougi Oshino, Monogatari series 10) Nonon Jakuzure, Kill la Kill

Oh would you look at that? Nearly half this list is KyoAni. Not to mention that these are all girls from anime and Japanese video games (except Ruby). Very clean

I’m not tagging anyone. If you see this and want to do it, feel free to do so.
