The protagonist’s last potential love interest may have been disclosed in Oshi no Ko Chapter 161, following a protracted romantic triangle involving Aqua, Akane, and Kana.
Oshi no Ko’s tale centers on Aqua’s need for vengeance and his duty to keep Ruby safe, but it also centers on an intriguing romantic interaction. His feelings for Kana and Akane are never made clear, yet they are both in love with him.
His conflicting feelings for Kana and Akane have fans guessing who would win the ship war. Since they’ve pretended to date and she’s the only one who is aware of the full scope of Aqua’s revenge scheme, many people think Akane will be the female Aqua selects.
In contrast, Kana occupies a very different position in the young man’s life. She is more important to him than most people and was his childhood pal. Because of this, some people think she’s the right person for Aqua.
Oshi no Ko Chapter 161 provides us with a clue, even though we still don’t know the definitive answer to this triangle. Just before he stabs Hikaru in the chapter. Aqua muses over his career goals, which include becoming a surgeon.
He also considers how he should react to Kana’s sentiments appropriately, pay Akane back for her generosity, and reestablish their relationship on equal footing. Supporters are certain that this indicates he understands Kana’s emotions and desires to establish a positive bond with Akane.
The panels also lend credence to this argument, since Aqua remembers Akane and Kana standing next to each other, but his recollection of Kana depicts the two of them holding hands. For readers, this distinction suffices as evidence that Aqua and Kana are the ultimate ship.
Akane fans won because Aqua wanted to reestablish their close friendship, Ruby fans won because Aqua was willing to give his life in order to save his beloved sister, and Kana fans won because their ship was confirmed in the endgame. This fan’s post on X said it all.
“All right, sorry to say this, but they show us Arima holding Aqua’s hand while Aqua says she is’responding to Arima’s feeling.'” Another said, “Aqua then says,’rebuild our relationship,’ in Akane’s panels, but they are just standing and staring at each other.”
A third said, “Bro just friend-zoned Akane.”
Oshi no Ko Chapter 161 simply suggests an answer, despite the fans’ belief that they had finally solved the Aqua-Kana-Akane puzzle. By the manga’s conclusion, the problem will most likely have been appropriately addressed and fixed.
The last episode not only hinted at Aqua’s potential partner but also disclosed the young man’s ultimate scheme for Hikaru. Check out our guides to Aqua and Ruby’s father and their half-brother to learn more about the man in question.
