Oshi no Ko Chapter 160 Reveals Aqua’s Most Disturbing Crisis Yet

While Aqua has made moral missteps multiple times, his darkest moment may come after the events of Oshi no Ko Chapter 160.

The latest chapter continues from where Chapter 159 ended, with Aqua confronting Hikaru and accusing him of being a liar. This pivotal moment unveils Hikaru as the true antagonist in Oshi no Ko, placing Aqua at a significant crossroads.

With Nino captured by Akane and others after her attempt to harm Ruby, Hikaru reveals his manipulation of both Nino and Ryosuke into committing murder against Ai. He had exploited their obsession by discussing his relationship with Ai and the fact that she was carrying his children, fueling their madness.

Ultimately, he orchestrated Ryosuke’s tragic actions, leading to both Ai’s death and Ryosuke’s suicide. Hikaru even incited Nino to attack Ruby by suggesting she should turn herself in, further complicating the situation.

This cunning maneuver cleared his co-conspirators from his path while allowing Hikaru to maintain a facade of redemption before the Hoshino twins. It’s a brilliant yet malevolent tactic that leaves him insulated from legal consequences.

This compels Aqua to take matters into his own hands. For a long time, he has contemplated killing Hikaru but had hesitated upon believing Ai’s feelings for him and thinking Hikaru had changed.

Believing his thirst for revenge was quenched, Aqua had planned to exit the entertainment industry and pursue a medical career. However, the latest revelations signify that he—and especially Ruby—will not escape their tumultuous past until Hikaru is eliminated.

In Oshi no Ko Chapter 160, we find Aqua wielding a knife, seemingly ready to confront his father. While the outcome remains uncertain, this determination marks Aqua’s darkest point in his journey.

Reader reactions are mixed, as some express concern for Aqua’s well-being while others wish to see closure in the ongoing narrative. One user on X noted, “Uh, Aqua is back on the dark road? Ruby definitely doesn’t want that.”

Another remarked, “Damn I thought Aqua would let off Kamiki but I guess not.”

A different commentator stated, “Lol Aqua is a coward and a liar. This has nothing to do with Ruby. He is doing it for himself. Also, how is Hikaru responsible for the Ruby incident anyway?”
