Oshi no Ko Chapter 160 escalates Aqua’s quest for vengeance, yet it falls short of captivating readers, who criticize this chapter for concentrating on the “worst part of the story.”
Summarizing the narrative of Oshi no Ko is nearly impossible. It’s a dramatic portrayal of the grim realities of the entertainment industry, interspersed with lighthearted moments and a complex love triangle.
The story also delves into themes of reincarnation, serial killers, and child predators, all framing Aqua’s revenge arc. This arc ignites after the tragic murder of his mother by an obsessive fan, witnessed by Aqua and his twin during their childhood.
Despite being the central plot of the story, many readers view Aqua’s revenge arc as the weakest aspect of the manga’s overall narrative. The convolution that has developed over the span of 160 chapters has led to dwindling patience among the fanbase.
This is why there is considerable disappointment surrounding Oshi no Ko Chapter 160. The chapter unveils Hikaru’s complete involvement in Ai’s murder, while hinting at a darker path for Aqua. Although this could have introduced an intriguing twist, readers seem to prefer a focus on different characters instead.
“This revenge plot might be the worst part of the story,” commented one user on X.
“I just want the revenge plot to end, for once,” another fan expressed.
“Deadly boredom? Just hackneyed stuff? Hikaru and Nino don’t say anything new; we are rehashing old scenes,” wrote another. “And Aqua ALWAYS says the same things too.”
Another user mocked, “Yey! The history keeps repeating itself at this point: therapy, jail, and heaven is the right ending.”
One more comment read, “This gotta be the biggest fumble of all time.”
Although fans are currently dissatisfied with Aqua’s revenge arc, the situation could worsen in forthcoming chapters. The repetitive nature of the storyline has been a frequent complaint, and another instance of sameness could lead to a complete disengagement from the plot.
Oshi no Ko Chapter 160 is set to be released on September 11, 2024.
