Oshi no Ko Chapter 161: Release date & spoilers

With Aqua finally confronting Hikaru about his true nature, we have a lot to look forward to in Oshi no Ko Chapter 161 – here’s the release date and spoilers of the upcoming chapter.

The final arc of Oshi no Ko is wrapping up the long-running plot of Ai’s murder. There were many mysteries surrounding the tragic death, some of which were eventually revealed. As the story progressed, we learned Hikaru Kamiki’s role in the incident.

However, Chapter 155 took a wild turn when it teased Hikaru’s redemption and introduced Nino as the final villain of the series. But thanks to Nino’s plan to kill Ruby, we finally learn that it’s been Hikaru all along – the real mastermind behind both incidents.

In Chapter 160, Hikaru showed his true colors, leading Aqua to choose a dark path. But will the young man really go through with it? That’s something we’ll find out in Oshi no Ko Chapter 161.

Oshi no Ko Chapter 161 spoilers

Oshi no Ko Chapter 161 picks up where the previous chapter left off. While prepared to stab Hikaru and end his sadistic manipulations once and for all, Aqua considers the consequences if he goes through with it.

If he kills Hikaru, he’ll be apprehended for murder and it’ll forever tarnish Ruby‘s reputation. From then on, she’ll be known as the sister of a murderer and her career will be over. What’s more, people will expect her to commit a crime, too, as they’re ruthless and judgmental when it comes to others.

But if Aqua makes it look like Hikaru stabbed him, and then take both of them off the cliff, he can kill his father while keeping Ruby’s reputation intact. That’s his ultimate plan to exact revenge and bring Hikaru to justice.

As things get more twisted, find out who Aqua and Ruby’s half-brother is. You can also keep an eye on other manga with our guides on Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 270, One Piece Chapter 1127, and Boruto Two Blue Vortex Chapter 14.
