In Oshi no Ko season 2 episode 8, titled ‘Trigger,’ the main focus was on Kana Arima’s acting. Taiki Himekawa approached her with the idea of improvising some scenes, but it was actually Aqua’s plan to push Kana to showcase her full potential. Despite her initial hesitation due to her past, Kana ultimately agreed and embraced the opportunity to shine on stage.

After that, the anime’s attention shifted to Aqua Hoshino. With help from Taishi Gotanda, he was able to identify his trigger and was advised to seek assistance. Despite Aqua’s determination to stay in the acting world, Gotanda suggested that he should no longer find joy in it. Despite the difficult decision, Aqua continued to play his role as Touki, hoping to surpass Taiki, Kana, and Akane.

It is highly probable that the ninth episode of Oshi no Ko season 2 will mark the conclusion of the ‘Tokyo Blade’ Stage Play. As a result, the actors and actresses will have the opportunity to review their portrayals and get ready for their upcoming productions.

After finally relinquishing her supportive acting roles, Kana Arima may have a lot to consider before agreeing to future projects. Aqua Hoshino, on the other hand, may face some personal struggles after his performance. However, fans can rely on Akane or Gotanda to support him through it.
