would you prefer Ruby to experience the same thing as Ai? sometimes ruby's dream/happiness doesn't necessarily make ruby safe, what you say is overprotective this is what parents in asia and the middle east do, this doesn't mean parents control their daughters, they still give freedom to their daughters, but they have to be able to assume the responsibility to maintain the honor and safety of herself
The fact that you mistook Ruby for Ai at the end really plays into the idea in the show that Ruby looks like and is following in Ai's steps. Unintentional genius!
@@jackjohn4156 what does that have to do with what I wrote? And I strongly disagree, but alright bud. A character’s writing quality doesn’t just disintegrate because there’s more focus put on other characters. Ruby’s got her depth and development, so does Akane, so does Kana, so does everyone. That’s the story it is.
@@aquatazer Ruby only gets spotlight in “her arc” but even then she’s just generic. Akane and Kana gets more than Ruby by 10 folds. So her character actually disintegrates because she’s the least interesting character in the series. Now for what I said was a reply to “Ruby looks like and is following Ai’s steps”… That factually became false after Akane showed up. Ruby took a beakseat
@@jackjohn4156 I doubt you’re caught up on the manga, because if this is your stance after reading the newest chapters, you’re objectively interpreting Oshi no Ko incorrectly. What I said stands: a character’s writing quality doesn’t just disintegrate because there’s more focus put on other characters. I don’t see a point trying to prove that to you, I suggest you catch up on the manga instead of talking like you are. And if you are caught up, reread it.
@@aquatazer You mean issue 115 where Akane steals the show from Ruby? LOL. I really have fun with OnK fandom because they literally use the same excuse due to lack of information they themselves have for series. Now for the big question; Do you think the manga will end soon?
I feel for Aqua. He’s still hurt. He’s traumatized. He saw the life fade from his mothers eyes as she held him. Like he noted, it seems like Ruby has bounced back from Ai’s death, but Aqua is still holding onto those feelings. And he doesn’t want his sister to meet the same fate.
Aqua's been screwed by the same guy in both of his lives. Got killed in his original life. Then had his mother killed in front of him in his new life. By the same dude no less. No doubt he wants to stop at nothing to get back at the one responsible for that.
Sometimes you have to be the "bad guy" for those you love in order to properly protect them from themselves. Aqua was overstepping, yes, but after everything he has been through - and everything Ruby continues to downplay, ignore, or remain ignorant of - I absolutely get where he is coming from. Doesn't make it "right", but I definitely wouldn't vilify him for it either. As an aside, the animation, voice acting, and music are so polished, but the characters and their dialogue especially shine. I'm blown away by how well done this show is.
I mean I think Aqua was kinda justified in his position. He wanted to protect her innocence as well as her safety. Yes, the idol industry is filled with dangers but Aqua isn’t worried about hypothetical dangers. Their killer father is still out there knowing they’re alive so what happens when Ruby draws attention to herself and looks exactly like Ai? If someone you love got murdered but the police never caught the murderer would you let your loved ones go back to the same place especially when you know the murderer was targeting your family specifically?
I like the older Arima Kana… I thought she’d remain haughty and stuck up, but she seemed respectful, positive, and outgoing. I love her cosmos eyes. I hope she’ll be a good influence to pull Aqua out of his darkness.
12:50 Actually, there's a play on words in Japanese. Ruby misheard and remembered Kana's title as an actor. 😆 jubyou de nakeru tensai koyaku = The genius child actor who can cry in 10sec.👏😲wow jusou wo nameru tensai koyaku = The genius child actor who licks baking soda.🤣🤣🤣
I agree with Aqua, imagine you have a super pretty cute little sister who wants to enter a dangerous industry i don't allow it either. I will protect her at any cost!!!
You gotta remember ai literally died in aqua arms and because he was child at the time he couldn't save her he felt her bidy go cold while drench in her blood In the manga the police didn't even let ruby see Ai's body So if I was aqua I wouldn't let my only family follow down the same path that got their parents killed either
Aqua actions is understandable knowing what happened to her mother Ai I wouldn’t also let ruby go anywhere near in idol industry but Ruby has to follow her dream that’s what’s Ai also wants from her good thing that that her adoptive mother is the one who’s gonna manage Ruby career being an idol
some thoughts and stuff to add: - scouting does happen like that, just cold approach on the street. - so when idols got insanely popular after 2010, that was called the "warring idols era" for the sheer amount of groups that would come and go. eager to make any profit, any type of theme would be good to go. underground idols, also known as chika idols, or indie idols, are a way in which that momentum has continued. it's like cover bands, but with the pay and shitty management of a part-time job - on top of the risk of that job maybe even being meant to scam you as the employee. - what that one idol said is pretty spot-on. there's an interview that joey/the anime man did with a former jpop idol that came to mind - incidentally, only coworker of hers who went anywhere big was kiara takahashi.
yes it's okay to still be in his parent's house. especially if his mother is alone aging old lady. sometimes aging parents get lonely without the company of the children, it is really miserable. and we can see she still full a lot of energy, because she feels young to still have to take care of her son. and at least he has a good job and making a good money, (I think he's a good man who help to pay the bills) and not unemployed that wasting his parents wealth.
Kana isn't a shitty brat anymore, she's a cure waifu now!! I hated Aqua a bit after ruiner Ruby's audition but gladly their company decided to make an idol group once more.
yeahh it was very harsh from Aqua, but considering their dad is still out there and might plot a murder for them, it's understandable why Aqua is paranoid.
It's a danger of entertainment in general, Christina Grimmie was murdered in 2016 by an obsessed fan right around when her career looked to be taking off.
If you notice Ai's eyes are purple with star in each eye her children in each opposite eye have a star in them and if you combine them it makes purple. So it shows that they are 1/2 of her. If you noticed when Ai died the light in her eyes faded it was so sad.
Yep, Aka Akasaka writing style is great 😌 I agree with You, is funny because he is going to release another manga as writer togehter with another artist next week and I can't help but think In a couple of years wey Will be watching the anime saying it is a Masterpiece too 😂
I didn't read the manga so if my guess ends up to be correct, it wasn't a spoiler, but what I guess is that Aqua finds the dad, kills him and then it will turn out he didn't had anything to do with the murders. And yeah I'm just guessing that just because that would be the worst case scenario I can think of and I have a feeling that this anime won't have many happy endings.

Maybe, he basically became a father figure to them as well. Him being that secret father seems impossible, though who knows if he does have connection to them somehow. Though I feel like he was a really good person.

Aqua is the most calm yet unhinged lad ever. That boy is scary because he's fueled not only by genuine care for Ruby, but also for revenge.
I feel for Aqua. He’s still hurt. He’s traumatized. He saw the life fade from his mothers eyes as she held him. Like he noted, it seems like Ruby has bounced back from Ai’s death, but Aqua is still holding onto those feelings. And he doesn’t want his sister to meet the same fate.

I mean I totally get it. Their mom died doing the exact same thing. He just doesn’t want his sister to die.
I like the older Arima Kana… I thought she’d remain haughty and stuck up, but she seemed respectful, positive, and outgoing. I love her cosmos eyes. I hope she’ll be a good influence to pull Aqua out of his darkness.
She is Aquas light, but he doesn't want to hurt her because of him diving into the darkness.

This episode feel like buildup for the next. Amazing to see that the quality hasn’t really dropped!

I really love the ED, it's simultaneously beautiful yet haunting T_T
The ed is by Queen Bee, which did the 11th ending of Chainsaw Man's "Violence" if you did not know!
I’m loving watching TH-camrs react to this show because they can connect with that position of fame/influence.
some thoughts and stuff to add:
- scouting does happen like that, just cold approach on the street.
