[Oshi No Ko]
| I've recently finished the second season of this show, and while it was incredibly good, I'm a bit worried that this season is going to lean into the supernatural stuff ever since they introduced Crow Girl or little Silver hair girl or whatever you want to call her. Yes I know two of the main characters are reincarnated yada yada, however the show still kept a grounded setting without any other supernatural stuff going on, so having a character with mysterious powers suddenly get introduced kinda saps the experience for me. Which is why I'm hoping they keep this supernatural stuff to a minimum in the third season. |

This is a reincarnation show lol
@DoobieSam How read?? |
| I watched this BECAUSE of the reincarnation. Otherwise I wouldn't really care. So introducing someone supernatural who knows the twins little secret made it even more exiting. Gave me Higurashi vibes for a moment there. NGL, the showbiz stuff is interesting. I would have missed something great if the supernatural weren't included. |

Aqua learns waterbending around chapter 90 but other than that nothing supernatural iirc
| @azovti6 Kana also becomes a master at tearbending much to the annoyance of many fans |

| I didn't read the manga so I'm not saying anything that is confirmed spoiler for next season...but the post credit scene of someone getting killed by Dad...if I had the hazard a guess...that's the white haired loli who is giving hints to Ruby this episode. So now we have a 3rd reincarnator if I'm right and based on how big she is on the poster, you'd better stop hoping. Next season is probably about Ruby investigating the Loli and why she knows so much stuff a loli shouldn't know about. Again. I'm mostly speculating here. If I'm correct then...*shrugs* |
| OP is going to hate the quest for all 7 legendary idols arc. |
| I mean the supernatural stuff is the point. That's the plot, that is the story, and I assume they are not going to ignore that. My assumption, and I have not read the manga this far ahead so please do not spoil me, my assumption is that season 3 will be like the other seasons where the bulk of it is using the bigger story as a justification to do deep dive looks at various aspects of the Japanese entertainment industry, with some big mystery/supernatural vibes and revelations thrown in 2-3 times over the course of the entire season. |
| That being said, it's not like the source material will change even if you want it or not. So, we gonna keep watching it. |

| We need more Crow Girl, she's one of my faves!!! |
| Not at all. Since the very start of the series the first thing I said was along the lines of "so these two mega fans die not too far apart and reincarnate as the children of their idol? That's WAY too convenient in a series that takes itself seriously, so it's evident there's a major supernatural force at play". It was obvious it was the work of some god or other supernatural force DELIBERATELY reincarnating them in the fashion it did. Whether it's to take pity on them, or for its own entertainment doesn't really matter. It'd actually be incredibly shitty writing to not follow up on it and just leave the obvious magical background of the plot unexplained like friggin Tokyo Revengers did. |

| I mean it has reincarnation so probably not |

But other than reincarnation and crow girl there’s nothing supernatural. But yeah I hope they keep it to a minimum as well |
| More supernatural stuff yehey |

| It’s going to adapt the manga as always, so go read that if you want to know in advance. |

| I agree with OP. The crow chick is super cringe, and pretty unnecessary imo. |
  |
| I agree. The story's premise is reincarnation, so the supernatural will be involved to some degree, but the story has already found its identity without heavy reliance on supernatural events, so I hope they don't rely on that too much going forwards. To ignore the supernatural entirely would be somewhat of a waste, but if they shifted focus too hard on the supernatural it would feel like a different story. |

| @Quadruple_Oi I completely agree with you. If I'm not mistaken, I don't think there have been any noteworthy supernatural event that have occured between the second episode of the first season to all the way to that episode in the second season where crow girl got introduced. I personally think that the writers only want the reincarnation part of Oshi No Oko to be nothing more than just plot device, just something to motivate Aqua and Ruby into doing what they're doing, because literally nothing out of the ordinary happens in the majority of this show's episodes. Now this doesn't mean I wish for the writers to completely ignore the fact that Ruby and Aqua are Reincarnates, as that would be kinda stupid, however the reason why I made this post is because I'm afraid that if this season focuses greatly on the supernatural stuff, it would deviate heavily from what makes this show (in my opinion) good. |
Absolutely fire image |
| Yes, it should be kept at a minimum, so only if it's truly necessary for the story progress. |
No, this isn't my signature~desu. |
Reply to truth999
It's been religious supernatural the whole time the major plot point is reincarnation lol
| @truth999 reincarnation doesn't do shit for the plot, except to make the incest arc possible. |

| I agree but it was bound to happen eventually unless they completely forgot and disregarded the first episode. And I also need to know the relevancy on why the reincarnation was included at all, because the series could've been basically the same without it. |
| Yeah I don't like how that mysterious girl appeared in the show. Reeks like those dumb supernatural shows from 00s. I do hope there will be a minimum of that. |
