It is indeed the Aqua x Ruby route 💀

Sarina/Ruby: You said you’d marry me once I turn sixteen

Sarina/Ruby: Doctor (Aqua), I am turning sixteen now

Sarina/Ruby: Bro (Aqua), give me your juice

Other works would do some cowardly backpedaling, revealing that they are step siblings at the last minute.

This writer is too big-brained for that, and choose to

Oshi no Ko manga ending spoiler

kill one of them off instead.

I guess there are certainly fewer options when they are technically genetic twins 🗿

(But the other girls are right there!)

Proper thoughts / discussion:

Absolute Cinema - Ruby version

I love the Oshi no Ko formula of season finale. I love how there’s closure, but there’s still a hook leaving you wanting more.

I am so glad that Aqua and Ruby got to know their past lives’ identities, and that Miyako got to get together with Ichigo again (though Ichigo got off too lightly IMO).

Now that this series is entering the final phases, I wonder if Memcho would get her turn in the spotlight. Akane, Kana and Ruby had their turn, but not Memcho. She’s pretty much relegate to being a side character these days. Feels bad if she’s the only core member who got left out, and get less character development. Maybe she can be involved in a scandal whereby her actual age got leaked?

Regarding that white-haired little girl, I’m surprised that she’s an actual person and not just a spirit. I wonder why all those crows flock to her, and how she handles them. Think of all the bird shit. Also, what’s her deal? She has some knowledge of what’s going on - could she be a reincarnated individual too? But there’s too little clue to guess at her motivations.

Anyway, peak season once again. Looking forward to the next (and final?) season. I am aware of the manga ending, but I hope that the journey there won’t be disappointing.
