Reader’s Question:
I have a question about “Oshi no Ko.” I watched the second season a little while ago, so my memory is a bit fuzzy, but I remember that Aqua and Ruby have a half-brother, right? I can’t recall his name. In the anime, there was a scene where it
was revealed that the man who was said to be their half-brother’s father was actually already dead, and Aqua was freed, but then it turned out that Kamiki Hikaru was the real father. When Ai was pregnant with Aqua and the others, Kamiki Hikaru was said to be around middle school age, so does that mean he would have been in elementary school when he got the half-brother’s mother pregnant? Aqua and his half-brother seem to be about ten years apart in age, so is a relationship between a married woman and an elementary school student even possible? Or could it be more like a sperm donation situation? Will this storyline be addressed in the anime in the future? I only have knowledge from the anime, so I’m really curious about this. I would appreciate any insights you can provide.
Let’s Dive into “Oshi no Ko”!
Hey there! I’ve been thinking about “Oshi no Ko” a lot lately, especially after hearing some questions and discussions about the characters and their complicated family dynamics. It’s such a wild ride, right? For anyone who’s just getting into it or might feel a bit lost, let me break down some of what we’re seeing, particularly around Aqua, Ruby, and their half-brother, Hiiragi Daiki.
Family Ties and Twists
So, yeah, Aqua and Ruby do have a half-brother named Hiiragi Daiki, who enters the scene at 19 years old. The age gap is a significant factor here, as Aqua and Ruby are only about 3-4 years younger than him. This raises some eyebrow-raising questions about how exactly Hiiragi came to be. The revelation about Kamiki Hikaru being Daiki’s father is a twist that caught a lot of us off guard! It’s like a soap opera, but with a dark twist. When you think about Hikaru being in middle school when Ai was pregnant, it certainly makes you wonder about the nature of that relationship. The theory floating around that it could involve something as grim as a situation with a much older woman and a child raises some serious concerns. And then, there’s the aspect of whether it was more like a sperm donation or something darker, which we find out later in the manga. It turns out that Ai’s relationship with Daiki’s mother, Hinagawa Airi, was problematic as she had some serious issues herself. It’s heartbreaking to think that the young Hikaru might’ve been manipulated in such a way.
A Bit of Humor Amidst the Drama
Even with all the heavy themes, “Oshi no Ko” manages to sprinkle in those classic comedy moments. I remember laughing out loud during scenes where Aqua and Ruby are just trying to navigate their chaotic lives, and their reactions to the absurdity around them are so relatable. It’s like watching your friends tackle ridiculous situations and you can’t help but chuckle at their misadventures. As a dad myself, I find Aqua’s determination to protect and understand his family pretty inspiring, yet I often think about how I’d react in his shoes. Would I be able to handle all the weight of those revelations? It’s a tough one!
Looking Ahead
As for whether the anime will dive deeper into this storyline, I’m hopeful! The manga has wrapped up, so it definitely touches on these themes more extensively. I’d love to see this explored in future seasons, maybe around season four, as the anime continues to develop these characters. It’s fascinating how stories like “Oshi no Ko” can take such complex issues and weave them into the fabric of the narrative, making us think while still providing entertainment. So, what do you all think? Have you had any similar experiences with shows that tackled heavy themes but still kept you laughing? Or maybe you have a favorite moment from “Oshi no Ko” that made you chuckle? I’d love to hear your thoughts or any tips you have for navigating shows with intense emotional landscapes!
