Definitely the best episode in quite a while, with the introduction of Ai and the ghosts that plague her, along with her being betrothed to a god. Getting the sense that things will get a whole lot more creepy from here on out. Also, cue the Oshi no Ko memes with Ai's eyes and all that...

I have a weird out opinion the brother goal was to always kill Ai off quickly, and he was the one who set up the construction beans to let loose. His conscious got in the way since that way of dying would be too painful/harsh hence he pushed her out of the way so he could save her and suffer the consequences of him trying to kill his own little sister. You don’t find it odd that he knew when to push her away? Not to mention in that situation, he could have also lived if he tackled Ai instead of pushing, but he chose not to. The beans were way high up. At that time, wouldn’t you be able to get out of the way? I don’t think he’s the innocent brother we see him to be.

I think he just heard something and looked up

The god was infatuated since the beginning. As Ai mentions, it's something that runs in the family.

As for the age, I think content on Jump series can't show certain laws being broken. Like alcohol for example, I could be wrong on this but I don't think they're allowed to show underage drinking. So it's probably something similar to that, they can't show underage marriage.

Yeah I didn't quite get that part right away what she meant. I thought she meant her family attracts gods in general.

That may be the case. Though there is probably some in story explanation somewhere maybe.

Why don't you just drop the show my man? It's hella stupid to keep watching something you're not enjoying.

You do you my guy, although, I don't see what's boring. There's lots of interesting concepts and mechanics in the show. To each their own.

The stars are the God's mark. Since he was trapped(almost like sealed for a short period) they disappeared. Once he was free, they came back.

Anyone who stick arounds still has a curiosity on the series. Pretty sure he’s trying to be edgy.

New character adds a breath of fresh air. Spooky moments contrasted the slice of life atmosphere at the start well. The plot twists were really cool too.

A "God" fell in love with her and plans to take her away when she turns 20. It sounds like bullshit at first, but considering the nature of this show, that doesn't sound too farfetched.

why sounds like BS?

In ancient Japan (heck, we can also say the entire ancient world) human sacrifices were the norm in some places to please the Gods. I don't get why you think that in this series world, a God branding a person to become a living sacrifice is going too far .-.

maybe the family made a pact with the God? She's someone reincarnation? random choosing?

Oh boi a gyaru girl as his new student. How lucky he's actually be. Too bad tho the girl has been marked with a great fate coming from the so-called God which from what i understand as being called as a star cult of God, perhaps?

Legit that i thought Yayoi doing another catching mistakes. Turns out the spirit actually so strong. It can actually manipulate Keitaro to do its bidding while also escaped from Yayoi doll prison, alone. A must catch for Yayoi then to pursue her dream to satisfy her grudge.

However, before catching up the big fish that is those fascinating the so-called God, the gang needs to clear the very first struggle appear while learning the truth about the gyaru girl situation. Which, depends on the situation, may create a good collection for Yayoi later, if they manage to catch it tho....

Do i need to mention Eiko too here? xd

@CrimsonTome ty for letting me know. I'm shocked by this. So maybe I should be asking in the oshi no ko's forum about their Ai origins instead? I mean, It can't be a coincidence... Right?

There's a new girl on the block for Keitaro: his new tutoring girl Ai Kamiyo.

Unlike Yayoi, Keitaro finally thought that he could be the tutor that he's been called to, but Ai's riddled with bad luck so much that Keitaro can sense the apparitions on her. Most likely, her brother who always keeps her safe and out from danger, while she excels in her studies. That said, there's a better tutor, and Keitaro brings Ai to Yayoi for help, which the latter saw two spirits surrounding her to trap the unwillful spirit.

That same night, Ai's spirit comes into Keitaro's dreams demanding to protect her, and he together with Yayoi rushed down to her apartment, which the doll apparition takes damage from her brother's spirit strangling her, she is not fully covered albeit with the fact. To say that she was the cause of her brother's death, and even so that she's facing death imminent from a god who fell in love with her, it's that same spirit who haunts the picture of her and her brother, especially given the context of her star-shaped pupils, and a power that
s strong enough to defy spirits and break out of Yayoi's stranglehold. To that, summoning Eiko is as easy as a misunderstanding that Keitaro's alone with a girl, but Ai's place is unsafe, and they need to bring Ai to their custody to remain safe.

Forget about the toilet, the spirits are already everywhere...

This new character Ai seems like she could be a bit of a handful for Keitaro, but with both Yayoi and Eiko to help I'm sure it'll be fine somehow.
The situation with Ai doesn't look like its going to be solved that easily though...
