This article includes spoilers for the manga “Oshi no Ko”. Reader discretion is advised.

As previously reported, the manga “Oshi no Ko”is currently in its final story arc. Having produced and screened the film that reveals all the secrets behind Ai Hoshino and his life as an idolAqua and Ruby finally confront their father, Hikaru Kamiki.

He reveals to them that Ai abandoned him just when he needed her the most, but a recording left by Ai ends up revealing that she loved Hikaru, in her own way. Deeply affected by this revelation, he admits that he will “do everything I can for Ai.” However, Akane points out that it is impossible for Hikaru to be involved in all the star murders, so There are still loose ends involving one of B-Komachi's former members and Ai's former partner.

Meanwhile, the new B-Komachi is touring Japan, activities that have left Ruby exhausted, leading to a touching chapter where she spends time with Aqua. The calm before the storm, don't you think? Well, fans of the franchise, already familiar with the style of author Aka Akasaka, had the same impression.

The next chapter, Chapter 158, will be published on August 21st in Weekly Young Jump magazine, but it has already been leaked on the Internet as usual. This new chapter left a shocking revelation that surprised more than one, as it shows in its conclusion that Ruby Hoshino will be stabbed in the same way as her mother.: blindly open the door without checking who it is.

Although, if we remember well the beginning of this popular story, we discover that Ruby was in another room when Ai Hoshino was stabbed, which would explain why she made the same mistake as her mother. Now, the leaks are of the worst quality imaginable, but apparently Fuyuko Niino, the suspected former B-Komachi member, discovered Ruby's potential and leaked her information to make it easier for the killer to find her.

Little is known about what will happen next in “Oshi no Ko”, although many assume that Aqua will use her previous medical knowledge (i.e. those from your past life), This time you can save your loved one's life. Now that Akasaka is reusing the same element that popularized the work in the beginning, will it have the same impact as it did then?

• «God forgive me for saying this in our church, but this is a good thing. It will be a great way for Aqua to realize that Ruby is the most important person in her life. He will probably use his medical knowledge to save her. Something tells me this will be a great milestone for our ship to sail even further.».
• «I doubt Ruby will die. In the first episode we had two previews: one with the twins in idol uniforms and another with them on a talk show. Chapter 152 showed that Aka remembered the trailers from volume one. I think we will see scenes from the first chapter in the near future. Ruby was fine during the events of the first chapter. Nothing to worry about.».
• «As for the stabbing itself, it's a blessing in disguise. First, this is a perfect opportunity for Aqua to redeem herself by saving Sarina (we've been focusing a lot on her career as a doctor lately) and for her to realize that she loves Ruby romantically. Second, this whole situation gave me validation and showed me how important Ruby is. Plus, some Kana fans were wrong.».
• «So Ruby got stabbed. I hope Aqua does something, I don't want to see her suffer and him not do anything about it. It would be worse if Kana's fans did this to her somehow, because they always do that. Honestly, Ruby has already suffered so much, she deserves less. It's unfair. I hope everything is okay and that Aqua pays more attention to Sarina from now on.».
• «My ideal scenario was that Aqua would go to Kana's graduation focused on seeing only her, but her feelings would make Ruby leave, but with that, any method that helps us win is fine. However, I fear that they will postpone the decision or that it will be conditioned on the long term, which could lead to defeat. Now I hope that Ruby is out of danger and that her condition does not determine Kana's rejection. Wouldn't it be great if Aqua decided to spend Christmas with her, either in the hospital or at home recovering?».
• «My problem is with the pacing. Aka is doing this now because of the parallels with Sayahime and Touki, and because Sarina's death should be animated this anime season. It should have taken at least 1 or 2 chapters to build up to the stabbing scene. Not having Ruby be affectionate with Aqua in one episode and then immediately get stabbed in the next? What kind of "going from one extreme to the other" situation is this? This goes beyond the "it escalated quickly from 0 to 100" saying.».
• «This was the most obvious thing that could happen. He walked past Aqua studying surgery and Ruby saying “I’m with someone I trust with my life.” Too bad Aqua wasn’t the first person to penetrate Ruby.».
• «But in terms of manga logic, what do you guys think? I personally think Ruby won't die or maybe it's 50/50».
• «They probably couldn't know that. It could be a nightmare Aqua is having. Since they might not have posted all the chapter pages, I highly doubt Ruby was stabbed.».
• «My hope is that Aqua gets stabbed instead of Ruby after realizing she's too scared to lose Sarina/Ruby again.».
