Oshi no Ko Chapter 161: Release Date and Spoilers Predictions

With Aqua finally confronting Hikaru about his true nature, there’s much to anticipate in Oshi no Ko Chapter 161 – here’s the release date and our theories about the chapter.

The final arc of Oshi no Ko is concluding the long-standing plot of Ai’s murder. Numerous mysteries surrounded the tragic event, some of which have been unraveled. As the narrative unfolded, we discovered Hikaru Kamiki’s involvement in the incident.

Chapter 155 took a surprising turn when it hinted at Hikaru’s redemption and introduced Nino as the series’ ultimate villain. However, due to Nino’s intent to kill Ruby, we finally realized that Hikaru was the real mastermind behind both tragedies.

In Chapter 160, Hikaru revealed his true colors, pushing Aqua toward a dark path. But will the young man truly follow through with it? That’s something we’ll uncover in Oshi no Ko Chapter 161.

Oshi no Ko Chapter 161 Spoiler Speculation

Aqua about to stab Hikaru in Oshi no Ko

At the end of the previous chapter, we witnessed Aqua prepared to stab his father, believing it essential to protect Ruby and break the cycle of hatred. However, if he follows through, it may change him for the worse.

It seems likely that Oshi no Ko Chapter 161 will find a way to prevent Aqua from killing Hikaru. Perhaps Hikaru will manipulate his way out of the situation, or Aqua may reconsider on his own. It’s also possible that Aqua is merely playing a mind game to push Hikaru into confessing.

Whatever unfolds, we can be fairly confident that Aqua won’t kill his father in Oshi no Ko Chapter 161. With a substantial part of the story remaining, the central conflict won’t be resolved so early in the arc.

Hikaru will likely survive, and Aqua will persist in seeking justice against him. There’s a chance he’ll pursue a legal path for Ruby’s benefit, with Akane assisting him. However, it remains uncertain if Kana will play a role in this plotline.

As the story progresses, we will discover the identity of Aqua and Ruby’s half-brother. Stay updated on other manga with our guides on Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 269, One Piece Chapter 1126, and Boruto Two Blue Vortex Chapter 14.
