Aqua Hoshino in Oshi no Ko

After the wild turn in last week’s chapter, anything can happen in Oshi no Ko Chapter 160 – here’s when the new chapter will be released and what happens next.

Oshi no Ko entered its final saga with no punches pulled. From the start, it’s given us one shocking twist after another, including revealing Ai’s true feelings for Aqua and Ruby’s father, and the seemingly final villain Nino.

However, things get decidedly crazier in Chapter 158 when Nino stabs ‘Ruby’ in a fit of jealousy. While the twist is brutal, it’s countered in the very next chapter as we learn it’s been Akane all along, disguised as Ruby to set Nino up.

If this wasn’t mind-blowing enough, the latter part of Chapter 159 definitely is. It turns out Hikaru’s regret and redemption were a hoax and he’s the real mastermind behind Ai’s murder and Nino’s botched stabbing. We can already tell that there’s more from him coming.

Oshi no Ko Chapter 160 spoilers

Hikaru Kamiki in Oshi no Ko

Oshi no Ko Chapter 160 picks up where Chapter 159 left off. When Aqua accuses Hikaru to lying to everyone to his own agenda, the older man denies. We then see Nino, who’s been apprehended by Akane and co., as she reveals how Hikaru never told Ryosuke or her to kill Ai.

All the man did was to tell them about his relationship with Ai, including when she was about to give birth to his children. While this looks innocent on this part, it was all part of his sinister plan to manipulate Nino and Ryosuke into killing her.

On the day Ai delivered her babies, Hikaru asked Ryosuke to deliver a bouquet on his behalf, leading to Gorou’s murder. Back to present, Aqua accuses him of trying to kill Ruby and manipulate the people around him. Hikaru denies and blames him back, pointing to his own immoral behavior.

Towards the end of Oshi no Ko Chapter 160, Aqua declares that Ruby sings to make people happy, not hurt them, and to protect her, he’ll do what he must. The chapter ends with Aqua ready for his darkest moment with a knife in hand.
