Oshi No Ko Plot:
Oshi No Ko captivates with its distinct and compelling narrative, standing tall in a sea of anime offerings. We’re introduced to Gorou Amemiya, a gynecologist, who is bestowed the honor of bringing the offspring of his favorite idol, Ai Hoshino, into the world. Yet, the night of the birth takes a chilling turn as an overly fixated fan of Ai’s murders Gorou, who is subsequently reborn as Ai’s son, Aquamarine “Aqua” Hoshino, with all his past memories intact. Adding to this intriguing situation, Ruby Hoshino, Aqua’s twin, is another reincarnation, though she staunchly denies her original self as the patient who originally piqued Gorou’s interest in Ai. I know this seems like just another classic isekai, but Oshi No Ko is completely dfferent.
The narrative intensifies four years on when the same fan who murdered Gorou takes Ai’s life before ending his own. Assembling the pieces of this grim puzzle, Aqua surmises that the fan was not alone in his actions and suspects his and Ruby’s father to be the accomplice. This realization propels him into the world of acting with a mission to unmask and bring his father to justice. A dozen years later, the story follows Aqua’s journey through diverse productions, collecting DNA samples for comparison, as Ruby forges her path as an idol. As they navigate this labyrinth of personal and professional trials, they uncover startling truths, face unexpected encounters, and endure strained relationships.
