[Oshi No Ko]
| Main character is a type character that viewer focus on until the end of the story, interacts with the secondary characters, and is personally impacted by the plot's main conflict. We can see she is muredered in the first eps so there is no way she can move the plot. She also archetype of mentor to guide her childs. She is almost same character like Haymitch Abernathy in Hunger Games, where he guide the main character. There is no way that a character labeled as main character but they died. If she still won't change to support character then Gorou Amemiya and Sarina Tendouji should be Main Character too because both introduce first than Ai and also they just switch body that can move the story plot. |

| In theory yes, you are of course right. After all, main characters are those that stay the focal point throughout the majority of the story. However labeling her as main character is a good kind of "trolling" for those that haven't been spoiled. She's also like the face of the series and the poster girl. |
| I disagree. If one actually watched episode 1, which consists of 80+ minutes of time, wholeheartedly... ๐ค |
| It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it, is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service. |
Listing Ai not as a main character would spoil the fun, not to mention it's not wrong anyway that she is a main character. The show is still about her in the end. |

| Well, despite being a titular character and poster child of the series, she is still a supporting character at most. |
 |
| i mean she's still at the hearth of the anime after episode 1. She's the reason Aqua is seeking revenge, the reason ruby is trying to become an idol, she's the character Akane attempt to roleplay/become (sure bcus of Aqua but it is still relevant) She's also constantly reminded of throughout the episodes. You can't say it's a secondary character when litteraly the whole anime revolves around her, not only first episode. |
droLmuCehT said: UnknownOriginal said: Everything that happened in this story came from ai hoshino. If she did not exist, there would not be a story at all. She is not exactly a main character but more of something beyond that, but for now the word "main character" shall suffice. I don't think we'd have a "oshi no ko" without ai hoshino, same way we wouldn't have a death note without light yagami, that qualifies her as a main character. well by that logic you could say nothing in death note would've happened if it weren't for light's mom, but does that make her a main character? I don't even remember light's mother tbh. It's not about the consequences of a character, it's rather about how the story is narrated. Ai Hoshino is constantly there, in every episode, and throught many characters. |
| I hope moderator see this thread and can change Ai to supporting character. Zrytst said: If you think about it from the point that Ep 1 was marketed and produced as a film, we can essentially consider Ai as MC for the first episode only (like Yuuta from JJK 0) I see, so because it marketed as first eps like a movie making it as MC? I think it's not. Oshi No Ko should be treat same as other anime. If main character died, then the story finish. Cognate6448 said: I believe trolling is not a good idea because it ruin literature format of character in myanimelist. Or something going fishy with myanimelist that I can't tell what will happening in future. I also want to see if the anime make season 2, will she be in a list as main character?tbh it doesn't rly matter if she's labelled as a main character or not, they did quite a bit of trolling with the trailer and making her seem like the main character of the series so it could just be an extension of that? |

| True, maybe. Who cares, tho? |
 |
| Ai is basically what you can call as a combination of a Main Character and a Side Character. Lemme Explain... Without Hoshino Ai, the story would not even start or continue as it is being. What we call a main character is a person who influences the story plot the most. This also means that without Ai, neither Aqua could continue her death's revenge, not would Ruby try to become an idol herself. This makes Ai a main character. But, as the definition is given in the start of this post, I most definitely agree with it too, that a main character is someone who, in most common sense, is alive(even 'kind-of' alive in some cases). So, by this perspective she doesn't hold the right to be considered the mc of this series. |
   |
| I think she is considered somewhat the main as the plot revolves around her. |
 "Don't give up after failing just twice. We'll be able to do it next time. Failure is the stepping stone to success." |
| It would be kind of a spoiler though if she was labeled as a support character |
| Nino is the objectively superior one, don't @ me |
| Honestly you’re not wrong but at the same time she does get a lot of attention in the anime. By that I mean the anime is literally about getting revenge for her. So being a mc or supporting character would both be right. |

| ...But viewers DO focus on Ai throughout the whole story and she definitely is impacted by the main and side plot of the story, even if she died.

You can't say it's a secondary character when litteraly the whole anime revolves around her, not only first episode. So is gol d rogers from one piece a main character? Everyone’s motivations or at least a large cast is to find the one piece he led behind the entire story literally surrounds gol d rogers “one piece” it began the entire pirate era and all Thats superfluous at best. She's a main character because we follow her through the story, and even though she dies, she gets brought up constantly even after. Gol D Roger does not get brought up constantly (keyword, constantly) throughout the story of One Piece even though he is an important character. The adventure is around his treasure, not him. Would be different if we followed his adventure from the beginning, but we do not. We get stories about him at best. A better example, Nedd Stark. Used in the narrative in GoT similar to how Ai was used. Hes still a main character because we followed him through the story up until his death, not to mention has impacted the plot and main characters that arose after his death. |
