[Oshi No Ko]
| I started reading the manga a few months after the manga's serialization. But, the eyes' color never got caught on my radar. Probably because of black-white drawings and never put attention to them. The anime from the first 2 eps, due to color differences easily detectable to newbies like me. From the first 7 episodes, is it correct to assume the bright/colorful Aqua's eyes are a facade/character/act he created as armor for his real self? As he (Aqua) stated in eps 7 to Akane. The color constantly changes depending on the situation.   Now, can't wait to see ... ... after re-reading the manga (after noticed this aspect) --- This is a fair assumption, right? about the subtle details of their eyes' color |
| It probably goes dark if he enters Ayanokoji mode. |

Same for white eyes, that's when there normal and not showing any malicious intent |

Same for white eyes, that's when there normal and not showing any malicious intent interesting POV. I don't know. It's just the gist or intuition I got from watching/reading this series after noticing the eyes. It seem the dark eyes came out when Aqua use his real motive/inner monologue. But, the bright eyes seem like a facade he created as armor to hide his real self. Alas, need proper context counting to properly analyze it. Didnt have time for it yet. Or someone on the net already did it (or a theory/conspiracy) video/post about this premise? ---- AMF2049 said: actually no. the eyes hint towards the emotion they are feeling. the white eyes mean nothing it's normal, if the stars sparkle then that means interested or surprised etc. the dark stars mean malicious intent or darkness. for example, at the end of ep 1 as aqua says he will get revenge his eyes go black signalling the darkness of revenge in his eyes and in the ruby picture the fact she wants to kill says about the darkness in her eyes. for Her eyes, Maybe to portray she is an innocent lass unlike Aqua that can switch it on-off on a whim depending on the situation? |
| Yes its a fair assumption, no its not supposed to be subtle. |

Now, can't wait to see ... ... after re-reading the manga (after noticed this aspect) --- This is a fair assumption, right? about the subtle details of their eyes' color As I pointed out in some other discussion, I believe their eyes are a sign of pursuing a certain goal wholeheartedly, with serious dedication and passion. Regarding the color of them and whether they're brighter or darker, I think it's mainly to show the emotions of the characters and what they're thinking about at the moment. But I'm probably overthinking it and they're just made like that to attract viewers' attention. I stand strong about the first part of my statement though. |

| I think that most of the time the star is white he is really being nice, not just a facade, dark star on the other hand is for when he has malicious intentions. |

Izuella said: That’s an interesting idea, I personally just went with: Light Eyes: More neutral or good intentions Black Eyes: Hateful and negative emotions I really need an entire 30 minute theory video on the meaning lol same, hahahah I could watch/read it again and overly analyze it. but, got a tight schedule. ahhaha hopefully, there is someone out there did it. if yes, please share with us here. hahaha --- RobertsahDHDA said: Yes its a fair assumption, no its not supposed to be subtle. Sorry, but by subtle i meant in the manga. Didnt notice it. but, in anime you're correct. it became more apparent. --- Mr-Yuki said: hey ! i have a real confusion about the eye of aqua ! are they genetic or artificial , because in the 7 th episode we have seen that akane has the same eyes what's about that ? huh ๐๐i am curious . I think the iris of their eyes is just symbolism. Ai was a full-frontal "star" during her peak era. While Aqua and Ruby only got half of their mother's "talent" (or something). Just my 2 cents~ --- NoWaySan said: yeah but apart from the color there is also which eye contains the star. like at first Aqua has it in his right eye then he completely loses it with his desire for revenge, and then, like Ruby, he has permanent black stars in both eyes. There's maybe something with the right and left eye also ? --- Dounford said: I think that most of the time the star is white he is really being nice, not just a facade, dark star on the other hand is for when he has malicious intentions. But from eps 7 (like pictures above), there is no malice in Aqua's words. He just plainly stated Ai is an anomaly that no one can't replicate. Which, quite a funny premise since later on Akane manage to mimick Ai's behaviour with her acting skill , LOL (Ai fanclub scan said it is Stanislavski's system) |

Now, can't wait to see ... ... after re-reading the manga (after noticed this aspect) --- This is a fair assumption, right? about the subtle details of their eyes' color I feel like the eyes changing from light to dark is just symbolic of their outlook and emotions. the fact that Aqua and Ruby are now two sides of the same coin, Aqua looks more often at the ugly underbelly of this industry and constantly confronts it with his plan to take revenge for Ai, whereas Ruby sees the other side of the industry, the fun and optimistic surface, yes it's hard work but she is excited and sees the pleasure in it more often than not, and her motivations is to succeed Ai as an idol in loving memory of her. hence why we see the darker/lighter star, the star is what Ai had herself, she constructed lies, acknowledged the ugly side while also maintaining a genuine love for her job. Perhaps its more fitting to describe the eyes as their emotional response to what happened to Ai. One wishes to lay low and get revenge, the other wishes to honour her by following in her footsteps. I think her children are symbolic of those two concepts splitting away after what happened, so I feel it's going to be important for both the twins to meet in the middle again perhaps learn and acknowledge more about the other outlooks of said industry and how they ultimately feel. the extreme end of anything is never usually good, so it will likely reach a point where Ruby needs to be more aware of the danger and or Aqua finding passion and joy in performance again. |
| at the very least, my theory/assumption is wrong. hahaha in eps 8, aqua's eye is still shiny despite sitting alone in his room. he should be himself wondering about his relationship and Ai  Hateful and negative emotions, or malicious is more plausible I think? |
