This is really interesting. The director is definitely a genius. On first impression, Ai may seem like a girl who was always happy and care-free, but, deep down, she had hatred towards everyone. I like how Ruby was able to express the real Ai's real emotions, the ones she had hid from everyone. So, it seems like Ai also did cry when she was alone. 😭

Kana was finally able to give the push Ruby needed for her acting, but instead just pushed off a cliff and broke her. Ruby and Kana finally were to fulfill their acting potential, but at a huge cost. The big risk in method acting is having the character you "become" consume you whole sadly. That means you literally become the character not only on the acting stage, but in real life. The character personality seeps into your every day life and it's difficult to shed it. Yes, Ruby will become the mirror image of AI, but she will become AI Hoshino when the cameras stop rolling. Ruby does not know how to separate her acting role and being Ruby Hoshino. It will be interesting what happens in two weeks.

In my experience pretending too much to be alright even when hurtful words plague you, DEFINITELY makes you hate everyone, despite smiling every single day. And because you can't show it openly, you use other ways like private emotional or agressive outbursts. (breaking things, shouting, laughing, etc.) Everyone in the manga, even Ai, is messed up. The only difference is it's only showing more fully now, brilliant manga storytelling

Gotanda really wants to see the true Ai for himself, trying to recreate her through Ruby and it’s honestly a little cruel. I have a feeling that Hikaru Kamiki isn’t going to react to this movie lightly.

Ruby is finally reaching her climax 😭

If i was ai i would kinda of hate nino. Which would have probably been conflicting for ai if she was feeling anger. Ai had nothing in all reality. Nino had a family friends real connections. Ai had real life problems. Nino was screaming at her that she was jealous of ai so much that she wanted her to die. That her looks are all that mattered. Ai surviving all she did to that point to have someone she thought was her friend freak out at her like that, smiling was probably all she could do cuz how is someone like ai supposed to react. It didnt matter how she reacted nino said what she said. Id never forgive nino

Ruby is slowly turning into a psychopath. If this keeps up, she might be the most dangerous person in the story, even dangerous than the father.

Looks like Ruby's breaking again (as symbolized by her Black Staringan resurfacing)... Good thing there's no break this time... Also, Happy New Year...

Honestly the ending just reminded me of the earlier scene when Ai told the director "Please film the real me" Maybe Ruby's actions are exactly like "the real Ai" not the Ai that everyone (including Aqua and the B Komachi members know

The more I see the similarities to Ai and Nino's relationship to that of Ruby and Kana's relationship the more I can't help but to think that history is sadly repeating itself, 😢 but hopefully Aqua, Akane or Mem-cho can help them makeup.😔 Thank you for reviewing chapter 136 of Oshi No Ko, Zephyr and please keep up the great work and also happy New Year to you too, I hope you had an awesome new year.😊👍

No. I think kanas real wrong with thinking ai lied about wanting to be like someone else even if ai is cuter. Ai was basically abandoned and homeless as a kid. She wanted to know what love was and how to love and to be important. As someone that grew up like that i cant see that as a lie. Of course she wanted someone elses life.

I just realised when ruby threw the bottle imagine if kana had opened the door 😳

I can feel Nino's feelings

Honestly what makes me sad is the fact that the one who truly knowing Ai is Ruby, not Aqua. Ruby thinks Ai as mother, she sees her as human. If course she will portrait her accurately. I think Aqua problem is the fact that he still thinks Ai as idol the most instead of just human, thinking Ai won't cry under pressure.

Imagine ruby kills kana that would be hella crazy

Another reality that oshi no ko has a well done showing is the actors/actress will be affected by their role because in the last chapter Kana's hatred seems genuine. Imagine if Kana reached the point where she's going to stabbed Ruby because she will be heavily influenced by Nino

Insane Chapter 🔥🔥🔥🔥, Also wtf Ruby ayo 😲😲😲😲, she's showing Hikaru genes.I feel theres twist at the end like Ai and Hikaru is the same but different sides of the Coin, Ai endured the struggle whilst Hikaru fell from it, but then again, I doubt it since the Hikaru was the one who survived him her.

I remember in the dig deep arc, after discovering the death of goro (forgot how its spelled) Ruby became obsessed with gaining popularity for herself and began to use a lot of manipulative and underhanded tactics to get that. Doing so made her basically the center of attention with Memcho refusing to do KZfaq videos without Ruby for fear of getting flack. On top of that Ruby even wanted to get that one girl to join komachi B to gain more popularity of whom has similar features and aura to Kana which led to Kana having a scandal. She definitely didn't consider Kana's feelings on the matter and Kana most likely felt easily replacable and wanted to get a name for herself. Since its clear in many ways that Ruby parallels Ai and Kana parallels Nino, I wondered if Ai has ever done something similar to Nino or any other people in her life. Using manipulation and underhanded tactics to become more and more popular such as using people. In general, since only Ai and Ruby get popular it would be seen by coworkers as them using other people as stepping stone to get what they want. Although they may not realize the effects of their actions (whether justifiable or not) it still leads to or members/coworkers feeling inferior to them. No one likes the feeling of being used and seen as a mere stepping stone. If this is the case and Ai did use these methods, it would mean that she became consumed by how dirty the entertainment world could be and embraced it. Though, as the result of embracing this, you begin to isolate yourself and relationships become merely superficial and professional. Don't get me wrong, it is very much needed to be professional in these types of setting, but too much of it inevitably leads to depression and sadness. To be clear, I am not blaming Ai for using these methods to get more and more popular nor am I blaming for making Nino feel what she feels. It is more or less the result of how toxic the entertainment industry can be and the only way you can survive in this industry is be manipulative and a liar. I think one of the main themes of this manga is that it is extremely difficult to balance healthy relationship in a professional setting while actively trying to progress your career. Even if thats the case, no one likes to be around people that lie often especially if its extremely obvious that they're putting up a façade. What are yalls takes on this?

I created the theory in my head that oshi no ko is inspired by perfect BLUE where an idol was almost killed by a fan obsessed with her because she decided to become an actress and I saw the fact that kana would give up from being an idol to being an actress made me think about how any fan or person who didn't accept this could try to kill her

This chapter showcased a very important detail that you guys must pay attention to. Number 1, The fact that our protoganist is not reliable at all. Aqua doesn't know a thing about Ai! Literally. If i look at Aqua as a character, he's only there for playing the role of a male character in this series. Everyone has had a different notion about Ai, different from how she appeared, but it's only him who keeps pressing on her "talent." Ai was talented, she was so talented that noone could figure out who shr really was. In the end, Aqua is just turning into what his dad probably was, an obsessed freak. He couldn't even fathom Ai being weak and himself said, "Ai didn't cry." Gotanda tries to see her true self, he is making this movie as a revenge. Even he knows there's more to Ai than the eye can see. Akane, if this girl this didn't exist, Hikaru would still be unknown. She was the one who suggested that Ai was secretely hiding her anger. And see? She's correct. Kana. Though she might not understand Ai very well, she damn as well knew how she felt regarding Nino. That's what I was surprised at. "See Ruby, that's how your mother felt." She understood the assignment. And finally, the most important, Ruby Hoshino. Ruby is the only one who ever loved Ai, though. In these series, I can see that she "is" true. She was always a true fan for Ai, and it's very true that she couldn't figure out who her mama really was, but with Ruby its like, "I'll love mama no matter what. Even with her real self." During the shooting she realised who her mother really was, a sad and vulnerable person. This made her sadder for her. She herself said, "Mama was feeling all kinds of things." This "mama, mama" is kinda repetetive, but it's what Ruby thinks of Ai as her mother. I think Ruby, who has been shown as an innocent and "left in the dark" sort of girl, with the entire spotlight only towards Aqua, Kana and Akane, needs to take the spot in the centre. Aka made me think so many things in this chapter. I was also Ai's fan, and never for once suspected this! Isnt that what this show really is about? Exposing the reality of showbiz? The fact that people are shocked, even her son, that their idol was only a human who hid her sadness is sad. Ai was just a vulnerable girl, but she had immense strength. When Ruby threw that plate, it was her true feelings. Ruby's life is very much like her mother. Maybe we didn't notice this because Ai's was kept in secret, but Ai and Ruby, they're similar. Ruby manifested Ai's emotions, no, she simply showed her true emotions when she threw that plate. But they were Ai's as well. Gotanda is great for trying to decipher her emotions. I think it's even sadder how she's still smiling while crying or saying "screw them". That's just who Ai has always been. Plus, a lesson that Kana needs to learn is that, don't assume for people too much.. "Naturally gifted" is such a lame blow to someone's hardwork. Ruby is better than you because she worked damn hard. She had a tough schedule, you yourself saw that right? It's just so depressing to see that that's all what she thinks regarding Ruby's acting skills.

This series never fails to make me sad. Ruby has suffered more than anybody in this series. I hope aqua and Ruby have a happy ending by the end of the series. I hope they don’t die.

I saw this spoiler one week before the chapter came out. I already knew what was about to happen, and it still got me

Kana better watch out not to push Ruby too hard you know what happens when you push Ruby too hard she can end kana at any point if she wanted to before the reveal Ruby was using Khanna for her own benefits she can manipulate Kana if she wanted too

Kana is or at this point “Nino” is pushing Ruby to her breaking point. (2:07 I’m sure she would have said Ruby instead.)

producer Kotanda be like: HOOOLLLLDDDDD, not yet😂😂😂😂

if ruby is going back to her black staringan days I might just end it all

Happy new year and thank you for recapping chapter 136. In chapter 135 ruby had the black staringan so I knew that she was gonna break but ruby seems to be going to a dark path again hope she gets out of that path and kana and ruby reconcile. Also when you said that the thing ai/ruby was eating and then she threw it it did look like the blood when ai died but I don’t think ruby will go that far and kill kana well that’s what I think after all they are best friends or they were. Prob ruby is in an even dark place now.

Happy New Year 🎉🎉

Cool Chapter review, can wait for the next one.

When Aqua said that he never saw Ai cry it shocked me since he was there at her last moments and she was clearly crying and it's not like he doesn't remember her last moments since he remembers that she felt sorry because she couldn't film the documentary( i don't remember which chapter it was) but maybe he'll remember how she cried at her death? Maybe since he idolized her he wanted to only see the good image of her? Idk it's just a theory.

Aqua’s 6D plan is working out perfectly 😈👍👌

First 😊 thanks for the update ❤.

Ai Hoshino is truly a genius like William Shakespeare was in DC Comics, The Sandman series. There is a price of being a genius and the special.

The parallels between Kana/Nino and Ruby/Ai go back further than the movie scenes. Remember, Kana did not want to be the center, she thought Mem-cho or Ruby would be better. We don't know if Nino actually thought Ai was the better center for B-Komachi. Since Akane is in the plot as Takamine (sp?) I wonder if she will raise a slightly different jealously issue for the current B-Komachi members. After the confrontation between Akane and Kana during the Instagram date incident Akane emotionally unravels in front of Aqua. She told Aqua that while she was working and studying hard to become an actress Kana was singing silly songs about green peppers. "She had it easy while I was working my ass off..." Hmm... Where have we heard that before? I don't know if anything will come of this parallel but Akasaka never leaves Chekhov's gun hanging on the wall in the last act.

I never expected the dramatic irony with the real Ai contrary to her literal name harbouring a cynical and hateful attitude secretly towards everyone which happened even before she fell in love with Hikaru and gave birth to Aqua and Ruby who were the main reasons for Ai to give herself a chance to look at the beautiful side of the world before she was murdered for good

This manga is so well written!

What's wrong with aka sensei ?? She's making energetic ruby a depressed girl 😭.

Imagine when this shit gets animated. Holyyy. Happy new year bro.

First chapter of the year and its already so good! This chapter’s art is like, Tokyo blade arc good! (Not that all the other arcs are bad or anything, its just that the art really was crazy in the Tokyo blade arc.) yay

Thanks a lot for this video!! It was pretty confusing to me (I thought someone had got shot 😭)

when you break and cute happy go character:

AI was a liar the truth was she hated every body in the group she hated her friends/partners and she had it Nino the most nino loved and hated AI but I on the other hand headed Nino show much that she wanted to kill her

I'm huge fan of Oshi No Ko and just discovered Your channel. I binged all the manga up to this point and boy oh boy You can't possibly imagine the revelations I have saw!😂 I believe that no one is looking at the 3 last lines of this chapter in the same way as me! I'm certain that most of people who are focusing on those lines are saying questions like: Does Ai really hated everyone? Does Rubi will become Ai herself eventually and will be full of hate towards not only actors, but other people that she was caring about as well? Can Rubi-Kana relationship be rebuild? If You think something else then sorry for all of mine accusations.😉 You see the 3 last lines of this chapter are: "I hate everyone. Screw them all. What did I do wrong anyway?". But now everyone should go back to chapter 118- during the initial conversation, between Aqua and this little girl that calls herself Tsukuyomi she says this: "Why do You hate me so much? Did I do something wrong?"🤯 Is it some kind of twisted foreshadowing? Is this girl a true reincarnation of Ai that became a greater liar then ever?! A liar that can deceive her own children as well?!!🤣 That would be the greatest plot twist of all time!😂 Still I came up with even crazier plot fracture that revolves around my favorite concept of reincarnation. That would be doing naughty things between "siblings" if You know what I mean and including this to a movie!!🤣Those are theories I come up with!😂

This chapter gave me very Act age vibe I won’t be surprised if aka Took some inspiration from that series act is you are such a good series I miss that series. It sucks that that series got canceled.

like brother like sister

Why I got feelings, that one of chapter will be a movie, literally a movie just about Ai and her time in the industry like a background story...

😢I KNEW THE PART WHERE U SAY IT REMINDS YOU KEEPS COMING. Do you know something? Ais death was foreshadowed on the first episode

Depression in every chapter, I can't imagine then when the film is over what will happen, for sure something traumatic is now around the corner.

Wait I wanna ask, so the last page we saw that Ruby cried with her black star eyes right, so it's that a part of the scence in the movie or its Ruby true feelings?

If Ruby kills kana then I’m joining kana in the after life

Hikaru be like 😈

I shouldn't have read the links before the official release. I'm trying to stay away from the Noragami chapter leaks since it's last chapter is in this weekend. I wonder if there will be another break? I heard that there will be? I'm not completely sure. If there is then at least I can get my mind clear from distractions and focus on my exams again. I know I keep mentioning my studies and exam to you. I apologise...

Just a little question because that arc confuses the heck out of me Does everyone in the show now know that hikaru is the father? I mean aqua will be playing him and a lot of people have said this movie is meant to condemn the father but it's just confusing to me. I mean first of all when did everyone even find out. I still am unsure if they all know but the way it's currently appearing to me is that they know and we just never got to see them find that out. And why aren't saitou or ruby saying something about that like saitou even said he would kill that guy if he knew his name yet he didn't do nothing now and ruby doesn't give a reaction either. And besides why are they even allowed to do this movie to begin with if the purpose is to condemn the father? Knowing how japan is it's quite surprising and hikaru does seem to be an important person in the entertainment industry

wait what's your editing process.? How do you get the small panels and what not

Aqua and akane forever ❤❤❤

This entire arc has so much Ruby angst. The fact that people hate her JUST BECAUSE OF THAT ONE CHAPTER makes me feel even more bad for her, she does not deserve any of this

Now i feel like it's tooooo late for reconcilation between ruby and kana But I have a bad feeling that Kana's jealousy toward ruby will corrupt her and make her woorse than nino and she might ally herself with kamiki to kill ruby

Ruby is older than kana in age and life experience and Yet she still lacks emotional controls even compared to Kana . This is clouding her overall judgement regrading her circumstances.

👀

Kana is annpying

Aqua benig father to ruby eyes? Ruby kills kana?

What da HEEEEEEEE-CK

WHERE IS CHAPTER 137???????

If ai been through all this and acting like a psychopath explains a lot don't you think...... Sorry I was commenting like ai fell in love with a psychopath ow... wait she did All the things that the one who stabbed ai told could be true And if all this stuff is true she could have changed after being pregnant with aqua & ruby If this is all become somehow true that means in the whole world only a psychopath could understand ai"s feeling I only wish everything I said should never be true😧😧😧

I hope kana and ruby can be friends again

I literally don’t know why y’all are praising kana for WILLINGLY choosing to be an awful friend. And then kana trying to delude herself into thinking (I’m just bashing my friend who I’ve been jealous of for awhile to make her acting better) like bffr. She’s literally an awful friend and I’ve been annoyed with her character recently with the way she has been very spiteful and hateful lately. Honestly I genuinely hate how all the characters have been choosing to be awful to Ruby under the guise of “improvement” and this AWFULLY reflective of Ai life as well. With everyone around her pretending to be helpful while constantly treating her terribly. Not to mention the work load, this being a film about her mother, and everybody trying to choose what’s the best way to act out HER OWN MOTHER??? I’m just annoyed, this is NOT how you make a person learn, it’s vindictive. A lot of the arguments I’m seeing are counterproductive. Im and many other commenters are only addressing Kana, not everyone. So while yes, other characters have their own issues. I can talk about the issues I have with ONLY ONE without addressing everyone. I'm NOT denying other characters' complexities, but I’m focused on Kana and the directors actions. No one has the right to dictate how Ruby and Aqua handle their mom's portrayal. And while YES, Ruby is trying to understand her mother. This is still other people who are giving their outside opinion of their mom is, she’s also stressed from having to ACT OUT HER DEAD MOM! Kana kicked Ruby while she's down during a vulnerable moment. She’s not being helpful, she’s being a bad friend.

Ruby will be the final antagonist just you wait.
