Oshi no Ko Chapter 159: Release date & spoilers

After the shocking twist in last week’s chapter, everyone’s looking forward to Oshi no Ko Chapter 159 – here’s when the chapter will be released and what to expect next.

Ever since Oshi no Ko revealed the story’s final villain in Chapter 155, everyone has been expecting something shocking to happen. Yet, no one saw the brutal incident in Chapter 158 coming. In the chapter, Ruby is stabbed by a mystery assailant, just like Ai.

Aside from this, we learn that Ruby has already surpassed her mother as an idol. Hikaru Kamiki also regrets his actions and plans to surrender to the police after finding out Ai’s true feelings about him.

That means his role as the story’s antagonist is over. Now, Nino is the one to look out for, and she’s already taken the first step. We’ve been waiting to see what she does next for more than a week, but the break is finally over with Oshi no Ko coming back soon.

Oshi no Ko Chapter 159 spoilers

There were a lot of questions left by Chapter 158, some of which are answered in Oshi no Ko Chapter 159. The spoilers of the upcoming installment reveal fans’ theories were true after all, to least to some extent. Akane is really connected to the stabbing, but not the way most predicted.

It turns out there’s a crazy twist to Ruby’s stabbing, as in it wasn’t her in the first place. That day Akane disguised herself as the younger Hoshino twin and opened the door, only to be stabbed by Nino. But it was a thought-out move on her part as she’d come prepared with a knife-proof vest on.

This was all part of the plan to set Nino up and catch her in the act. Though we don’t know for certain yet, Aqua must’ve been involved in this, too. He’s most likely the mind behind it as his conversation with Akane in Chapter 155 already suggested something brewing.

Thanks to Akane’s brave gesture, Nino finally has been caught red-handed and Ruby’s concert goes without a hitch. This also indicates that Oshi no Ko’s ending may arrive sooner that we thought.

Elsewhere, Aqua and Hikaru are watching the concert through a phone. But Aqua suddenly calls the older man a liar, and Hikaru enigmatically replies, “What are you talking about?” While this seems like a harmless question, his big sappy smile and the black stars in his eyes teases that he’s Oshi no Ko’s real villain after all.
