| I feel almost as disappointed as Aqua does in finding out that his father is supposedly dead, and I say supposedly because he could've faked his own death or maybe the guy that his half brother showed is not the same person as the one that Aqua is looking for. On that note I wonder if the white haired girl that was shown at the end has anything to do with Aqua's father or if its something new, curious to find out. Regarding the girls, it's nice to see Ruby have more screen time and it's too bad she doesn't realize that her sensei has been at her side all this time. Then there's Kana who really wants to spend time with Aqua and if they do all go together to Miyazaki I wonder if Akane will go, especially if she finds out her rival will be there. |

Two weeks felt eternity, but Peak is back.
Well things (de)escalated too quickly. It's kinda bad that Aqua motivation for living his revenge won't be completed as his supposed father is dead. But Himekawa told his parents suicided(20-5) 15 years ago while Ai died 14 years ago, so how can Uehara give info about Ai to the murderer, math ain't mathing. Maybe theirs more to it.
But for now atleast Aqua is "free" from his burdan. After a bit of soul searching and seeing how obsessed Kana and Akane is towards him, maybe he will try to enjoy life more.
But his Star vanished. Not so pleased and bothered by this but atleast good to see my man smile. It's a rare occasion.
The new arc which is FINALLY Ruby focused. Enough of side chicks it's time for main girl to shine. Also Memcho screentime too..
It's kinda sad to see how Ruby's face droped when she heard about "tight security" and when Miyazaki was mentioned being where she was hospitalized. Her obsession with Ai and to name B-Komachi just for her Sensei notice is so wholesome and really nothing to be ashamed of. Ruby is getting some limelight and she was so cute this episode.
Miyako getting pushed by Ruby to pressure Himura was very fun and sweet. Himurua who got bigshot syndrome struggled to write songs. But Ruby can't be stopped as she need time as idol before Memcho turns 30.
Himura lost motivation was rejuvenated by Ruby passion.
Doga Kobo back to their usual cooking again.
Tokyo Blade play ended.
What a masterpiece of an arc🫡
Aqua is now unemployed acc to Ruby, she needs to stop hurting others with her words. The change to Aqua's nature was very noticeable to Kana. She convinces him to go with those 3 to Miyazaki where he didn't go after getting killed. Kana is looking for downbad time doubt there be any fun with that mysterious girl shown.

Aqua and Ruby were at least 2 years old when Ai died. It is absolutely possible then for Uehara to have done it with Ai 16-17 years ago and have died 15 years ago. |
Kinda reminds me of Lemillion from My Hero 😂 |
 Yep. Ruby is truly the best girl on this series. No contest. |
 |
| Is it actually true that his father is long gone? For some reason, it doesn't feel that way. Idk why I feel that way. But, let's see if that's the case but after that, Aqua looks a lot happier which is nice. But, it seems like Ruby and her idol group are going to make a new original song for B Komachi. The composer bit was really good and motivating. It do be like that sometime. |

| @gorkthe134th no when Ai died Aqua presumed that their father had a hand in it. But Ai died 14 years ago and Uehara was already dead then so how did the murderer get info about Ai. I am talking about that. |
| We are back after a break. Feels good. The big cliffhanger and the hype which the previous episode left us just gets dropped like a dud bomb as apparently himekawa tells aqua that his mom who used to be an old famous actress and dad who used to be a struggling actor both died in a double suicide. So thats it for aqua? maybe or maybe not we'll see i doubt it though. But good to see himekawa and aqua having nice bonding moment as half siblings. Also himekawa calling out Aqua for seducing Kana and Akane was funny but true in a sense hes playing the game on both sides. Aqua back home thinking about his life, how his revenge life for ai is pretty much over with the news of his "fathers" death and now he can finally be free and focus on his happiness/love life as level symbolizing Kana or akane. Both of them calling to check up on him and both were adorable especially kana with the tsundere but cutest expression. Also Voila the Star finally disappears on aqua for once. Moving on to the B-Komachi where ruby, Memcho and kana are planning for the next big thing. I am glad to see Memcho back shes one of my favorites and she deserves all the screen time.  They prepare for a room tour video & it was funny how she convinces kana to shoot with tax saving scheme so quickly. xD Speaking of which Kana is really financially smart and sensible also really fashionable & classy at the same time. The Chloe Handbag, Herman miller chair, the gaming pc (Seems to be msi) while having actual savings and tax planning. and shes doing this all on her own without her irresponsible parents especially her selfish toxic mom. Wow girl i am impressed. Respect We then see ruby in her room remembering reminisching about the most important people in her life AI and goro sensei (aqua), i think she obviously still has strong feelings for him till this date and wants him to see her with b komachi cause hes one the main reason she made the group. Tbh dont know how this will all pan out when the truth gets revealed about aquas identity. Sweet home alabama? i hope not ==" The girls are also planning to shoot a video and going to take country side trip to memchos designer friend which will give them some relaxation too. Speaking of which someones daydreaming already.  Get this girl a Glass of water cause damn shes thirsty calm down kana xD Anyways the place is miyazaki and it kinda brings memories to both aqua and ruby i guess. Interesting choice, wonder if theres something waiting for them in the future episodes. Also the group will have their first B komachi original song and mama miyako stepped in already, has taken the liberty to hire the groups old composer/singer himura san. Aqua at the mention of another old acquaintance gets riled up with the black star but it quickly passes away since realization comes over again. Kana notices how he has changed and mellowed out more & its really nice seeing him be calm and smiling for once. Its kinda scary as well as if a premonition to whats gonna come. Ruby cant wait and throws the most cutest baby tantrums and puppy dog faces like how can you no to that face? :3  Miyako finally gives in and while remembering her moments with her hubby ichigo which made me feel so bad for her. She still really misses him so much. But theres still the problem of composer himura san being in a slump of his own which is understandable even being a veteran in the industry. Ruby sends him an encouraging and get well soon video & it works like a charm. The star power in her just makes her shine and again doga kobo with beautiful visuals do justice to it. Himura san gets the red bull wings he needed to stop slacking and push onwards. Maybe he got reminded of ai as well? Anyhow Good job ruby *clap clap* Tokyo blade has finally concuded with their show and aqua is on a break. Ruby invites him to join them for an r&r especially with no ones suggestion *cough* kana *cough* So guess aquas coming along too. Finally we see the crow girl from the intro and thats gonna be whole another world of plot and explanation i suppose. Cant wait for next episode. |

| The new episode finally arrived!!!😆😆😆 Let's take it from the start then! AQUA FINALLY FINDS OUT HIS DAD?! We, along, too! It's crazy how they leaved us at a cliffhanger and they litterly showed that their father is just dead😒, but whatever🤷♀️. I love the fact that Aqua is happy now tho!Now, why did Ai really fell for that player father? Would Ai really just do that🤔? Why did that man unalived himself? SO MANY QUESTIONSS!!! We finally got a break from Tokyo Blade!!! I personally didn't like the Tokyo Blade part😐, so I'm very happy we get at least a break😌. BUT B KOMACHI IS BACKKKK😆!!! I was waiting the hole 10 episodes for this ngl😆. Ruby is slaying it💅, Kana is finally trying to get closer to Aqua😏, and Mem-cho is looking like she is really helping and trying her best👌. AND THE NEW SONG😆???!?!?! THATS CRAZY WE NEED A BANGERR🤑!!!!!! Finally, we are in Privet arc😁!!! Everyone seems to be super excited about it, but Idk about it🤷♀️. I hope it's good anyways😁! That's it from me, thank u for reading my opinion😊 and sorry if my English are poor, I'm not English😃. SAYONARA👋~    |
| That part with the animation between Ruby and Himura was really nice. |
| This show can be stressful lol Anyway, yeah, wrapping up the previous arc and setting up a new one, so this one was a slower episode than the last few. There were some very interesting things they touched on in this episode too, from Aqua's listlessness to the Bigshot Syndrome they got into towards the end. It was an okay episode of ONK, but also the kind of episode that the pacing would demand at the moment anyway. I have some questions for manga readers right now (would like very general answers to these, and please spoiler tag where necessary): 1. Who was that at the end? 2. Will I still get Akane in this next arc? Right now it seems like they are going to Miyazaki without her? |

| @WaterMage Sorry, I misunderstood was comment. It's possible it's a mistake on Akasaka's part. I've heard the timeline in Oshi no Ko is a little messed up. But if it's not, either Uehara is not actually dead or the stalker we saw kill Ai found their address from someone else. Those are the only possibilities I can think of. |

| @gorkthe134th I also gets confused by it when Ai died Aqua is supposed to be 2/3 year old. He also acted with Kana in a movie good amount of time before her death when he at max will be 2 and Kana will be 3. Well they don't look or act that age. I thought they would be 5/6 when Ai died and that would be 10-11 at max 12 years from current events. gorkthe134th said: their address from someone else That's also my hunch. Or Uehara may not be the father the DNA report said 99.4 so that leaves 0.6% wiggle room. |

| @gorkthe134th nah I am not. I held off my urges will read after the season is over. Nah it's crazy if it's true.. |

| It's pretty obvious that the actor's mother fucked their real father, and that the "murdered father" was collateral damage from her murder. Aqua being so intelligent and obsessive, I find it shocking that he didn't think about it, but I can understand it, thinking that you have your father within your reach but he is dead. Obviously he's going to realize it, now we just have to know if before the end of this season or not. Ruby is going to be surprised when she finds out that the doctor is her adorable little brother. |

| @godavid10 I assume you are not a manga reader and just stating your theory. Then it's one of most plausible one. Uehara guy being a 3rd grade actor being insecure of his wife makes it more sense. |

It is totally impossible that the murdered father is the real one, because otherwise this manga/anime would be known for being shit. The actor understandably never considered that he was not his real father, I don't know if Aqua will end up telling him or not. Ai, being what she was, it's also impossible that she ended up fucking the murdered guy, who seems like a typical salaryman with nothing special. She said he was someone "special". I can't think of any other theory either, in this case DNA doesn't lie. |
godavid10Sep 11, 2:05 PM
| It looks like the hunt for Aqua and Taiki's father has hit a dead end, quite literally. I can't blame Aqua for feeling lost here considering how much effort he has put into this search of his for so long. Despite that, seeing the star vanish from his right eye was surprising, but also refreshing. He looks to be more relaxed and is smiling more, which can only be a good thing. Mem-Cho got a lot of screentime and I'm all here for it! Seeing her talk about she wants to continue increasing B Komachi's Youtube subscriber amount does remind me of Mayonaka Punch, which makes me smile since I love that series. Still, I do like how Mem-Cho is going about it. =) Same goes for Ruby. She also got a good amount of screentime and she certainly didn't waste a second of it. Her message to Himura to inspire him with her video message of encouragement certainly did the trick to get him out of his creative slump and he's now hard at work in writing B Komachi's first original song. As before, this series does like to end on a cliffhanger and this episode was no exception as we see a mysterious little girl smiling. Hopefully it won't be long before she appears again, as although things look to be more relaxing now that our group is heading to Miyazaki, drama and tension is always around the corner, ready to strike at a moment's notice. |

| @godavid10 yeah Ai being with a 3rd grade actor seems kinda impossible. Himekawa may also not know about it and it's very hard for Aqua to guess as well. There's definitely more to it not sure in which way. This guy also died before Ai's murder so even if he is father he is not the target Aqua is/was looking for. |
Reply to gorkthe134th
| @gorkthe134th id you are looking for motifs ther is jealousy. Himekawa told about his fathers insecurities. |
| I'm getting more and more interested in the manga, I don't think I can wait for another season to drop. Seeing Aqua somewhat relieved and somewhat happy was refreshing. Also very funny how his newly found brother had to lecture him for leading on Akane and Kana. I like how the show and even Aqua acknowledges the situation without downplaying it as a simple childish wimp. Since they are going back to the place where they were living before the incident, I wonder if Aqua will go searching for his corpse. That would be so damn creepy. Still it won't be the first time this anime give us the chills. |
 |
| First time I really took notice of Aqua's goofy hairstyle, bro needs a haircut. |
| Himekawa’s reveal was so random. After Aqua’s entire goal had been focused on his father for so long, for it to fall apart that quickly must have been devastating. I’m glad he managed to recover and find some relief, but I still doubt that Aqua’s father is actually dead. Maybe Taiki lied, as I doubt Aqua and Taiki wouldn’t be brothers after the DNA test. It was also hilarious seeing more of Kana being so obsessed with Aqua. I’m equally excited to see the new B-Komachi song; that scene of Ruby encouraging the composer made her look like an angel. Now I’m curious about what memories Aqua and Ruby will unlock in the mountains, and who that white-haired girl is. The way she was introduced feels like there’s something supernatural going on could she be some kind of reincarnation? |

| The motivational Ruby video scene was fantastic. |

| Finally, a Ruby-centered episode! I love seeing the subtlety in Ruby reaction when Miyazaki and weird fans were mentioned. Some nice animation with the music writer. Seeing Ruby reminiscing about Sensei was very emotional. Such moments appeared throughout the series; I genuinely can't believe people thought you know what was unexpected. |

| I'm not very convinced that the father is dead, and dang no more star for Aqua. This was definitely lighthearted, but I'm sure the last few episodes are going to be wild |
