Expected plot in Oshi No Ko Chapter 164
Oshi No Ko Chapter 164 is expected to address Aqua Hoshino’s fate. With Aqua’s disappearance from the limbo-like vision, the chapter may finally reveal his current status—either confirming his survival or marking his death.
Depending on this outcome, the reactions of those close to Aqua, such as Kana Arima and Akane Kurokawa, will likely be explored in detail, depicting their responses to his condition or absence. Ruby’s reaction is also anticipated to be a focal point, potentially warranting an entire chapter dedicated to her feelings regarding Aqua’s fate.
Her response could reveal how she processes the loss or recovery of her brother, influencing her future actions and her own trajectory. Oshi No Ko Chapter 164 may also explore how these events impact Ruby’s perspective, both personally and in her pursuit of her idol career.
Oshi No Ko Chapter 163 recap
Oshi No Ko Chapter 163, titled You, begins as Gorou experiences a dream-like scenario where Sarina’s surgery is successful, leading to her full recovery. She regains her health, reconciles with her family, and eventually starts walking again.
Sarina then moves on from her hospital life, pursuing a normal life while maintaining contact with Gorou. Eventually, she auditions to become an idol and joins B-Komachi, performing alongside Ai. Gorou, stunned and elated, watches Sarina and Ai on stage.
Meanwhile, Aqua realizes that this sequence is not reality but a dream, questioning who this vision is meant to satisfy—Aqua or Gorou. Tsukuyomi clarifies that these emotions are his alone in Oshi No Ko Chapter 163.
She reveals that Aqua Hoshino embodies both his past life as Gorou and his identity as Aqua, Ai and Hikaru’s genetic descendant. She comforts him, telling him he was just an 18-year-old boy burdened with conflicting roles.
As Aqua fades from the vision, Oshi No Ko Chapter 163 comes to an end as Tsukuyomi is seen mourning the boy over the B-Komachi keychain Sarina once gave to Gorou.
