Oshi no Ko Chapter 162 Spoilers: Hikaru and Aqua Struggle as Crow Girl Watches From Above

The highly anticipated Oshi no Ko chapter 162 is set to release on Thursday, October 3, 2024, at 12 AM JST. As fans prepare for this chapter, the initial spoilers are expected to emerge two to three days prior to the official launch. With the storyline approaching its climax, manga leakers online have already shared some early spoilers for the upcoming chapter.

In the previous chapter, fans recall that Aqua Hoshino resolved to follow through with his original plan to kill Hikaru Kamiki. However, this decision put Ruby Hoshino’s future as an idol at risk. To safeguard her career, Aqua fabricated a story that suggested Hikaru attempted to kill him, resulting in both characters falling off a cliff. Surprisingly, Aqua chose to carry out this plan.

The leaked initial spoilers for Oshi no Ko chapter 162 suggest that the narrative will pick up where the last chapter concluded. Following Aqua’s self-inflicted stabbing and pushing his father off the cliff, both characters found themselves plunging into a body of water, quickly submerging beneath the surface.

Despite Aqua’s stab wound making it difficult for him to swim, Hikaru Kamiki should technically have been able to reach the surface. Instead, he was mysteriously pulled down by shadowy hands, one of which bore the face of Gorou Amamiya.

Shortly thereafter, chapter 162’s spoilers reveal Hikaru’s troubling motivations. His fixation on Ai Hoshino led him to the irrational belief that killing his daughter Ruby would somehow bring him closer to Ai. At this point, it became evident that Hikaru had completely lost touch with reality.

Aqua, on the other hand, is depicted floating in the water, gradually bleeding from his knife wound. As he nears death from oxygen deprivation, he begins to accept his fate. The initial spoilers for Oshi no Ko chapter 162 then indicate that Aqua experiences flashbacks of his life.

During these reflections, he envisions his sister Ruby and muses:

“This time, I’ll go before you.”

In their previous lives as Sarina Tendouji and Gorou Amamiya, Ruby had initially died first as Sarina, followed by Gorou later. However, with Aqua potentially dying first this time, their roles appear to have reversed.

Meanwhile, while Hikaru and Aqua are drowning in the water, Crow Girl/Tsukuyomi can be seen observing their sinking bodies above the surface. Fans will have to wait for the next chapter to discover the fate of both characters. Full spoilers for Oshi no Ko chapter 162 are expected to be released in the upcoming days.
