Chapter 159 of “Oshi no Ko”unveils a plethora of startling revelations, including the root of Nino’s animosity towards Ai.
The conclusion of Oshi no Ko unveils Nino as the ultimate antagonist of the manga, despite portraying Hikaru Kamiki – the father of Aqua and Ruby – in that role for the majority of the series. Nino, a former teammate of Ai, was fixated on the late idol and orchestrated her demise.
Nino’s contradictory fixation on Ai is evident. Despite resenting the deceased idol for overshadowing her, she also holds the belief that no one should outshine Ai, not even her own daughter. This mindset leads her to try to harm Ruby, but she is ultimately prevented by Akane.
Caught red-handed, Nino is being questioned by Ichigo, Ai, and her ex-manager. Ichigo discloses that Nino had a previous relationship with Ryosuke, the fan responsible for Ai’s death. It is likely that Nino felt envious and betrayed when her boyfriend turned his affections towards Ai, leading her to plot the murder.

Despite Nino’s denial, it appears to be partially true. Nino reveals that both she and Ryosuke were infatuated with Ai. Following Ai’s passing, when she requested Ryosuke to end his own life, he complied and took his own life.
Nino’s admission in Oshi no Ko Chapter 159 serves as confirmation that she has been struggling with mental instability for some time and that someone has exploited this vulnerability. Akane also notices this and wonders who was behind Nino and Ryosuke’s actions. Although the answer is never explicitly stated, it is eventually revealed that Hikaru was the mastermind all along.
Despite Hikaru being the ultimate villain, fans are disappointed with the way Nino’s character is portrayed, particularly with the explanation for her animosity towards Ai. As one X user pointed out on their post (linking to https://x.com/d0nut2x/status/1830993305208852672), they questioned the dramatic nature of Nino’s actions and the reasoning behind them.
“Another person chimed in, “Is all this commotion really necessary for THAT? Are we actually being serious at the moment?”
“It is truly heartbreaking that everyone has turned their backs on her and chosen Ai instead. However, it is not Ai’s wrongdoing that led to this. Nino is also at fault for her actions and there is no justification for what she did,”stated a third person.
Despite the conclusion of Nino’s storyline, Hikaru’s is just starting to unfold. The upcoming release of Oshi no Ko Chapter 160 on September 11, 2024 will unveil more details about his deceitful plan.
Despite the wealth of information available, there are still many unknowns in the entertainment industry. To discover the true protagonist of Oshi no Ko and the creator’s thoughts on the ending, be sure to check out the latest updates.
