The spoilers continue to deliver excitement, revealing that Aqua uncovered Hikaru Kamiki’s horrific attempt to murder his sister, Ruby, by coercing Fuyuko Niino to execute the act on his behalf.

This shocking realization drives Aqua to take drastic measures—he resolves to kill Hikaru to safeguard Ruby’s future. Determined and furious, Aqua appears to be ready to end his father’s life to put an end to his lies.

Will he stick to the plan? As the title of Chapter 161, ‘Future,’ implies, Ruby’s future as an idol hangs in the balance.

The chapter spoilers kick off with Crow Girl discussing Hikaru Kamiki, revealing that he eliminated anyone who surpassed Ai Hoshino, which led him to an obsession and self-imposed isolation. He leveraged his charisma to preach his twisted ideology and gather followers, thus establishing a cult-like following. Formerly respected, he now realizes his ambitions through others’ demise.

This also explains why, despite his affection for Ruby Hoshino, he sees killing her as fated.

2. Does Aqua kill Hikaru?

As Hikaru becomes aware of Aqua’s knife, the spoilers depict Hikaru attempting to twist the narrative to his advantage. He argues that Aqua killing him might elevate the value of Ai’s life.

Hikaru then swiftly pivots to the topic of Ruby’s idol career, knowing it would resonate deeply with Aqua.

Aqua Hoshino finds himself torn—he could harm his fragile father, but doing so would jeopardize Ruby’s career, as the public would not see past the tragic event, labeling her as the “murderer’s sister.” This stigma would tarnish her reputation and aspirations forever.

Hikaru advises Aqua against the deadly act, claiming it’s not in his interest. He further attempts to manipulate Aqua by highlighting the opportunities he would forfeit if he were imprisoned for the murder.

3. Does Aqua die in Chapter 161?

In Chapter 161 of Oshi no Ko, spoilers reveal that Aqua comes to a startling agreement with Hikaru. He expresses his dreams of becoming a surgeon, sharing emotions with Arima Kana, enjoying a beach outing with his half-brother Taiki Himekawa, addressing Miyako Saitou as “mom,” reconnecting with Akane Kurokawa, and witnessing Ruby perform at the Tokyo Dome.

However, Aqua Hoshino is willing to sacrifice all his ambitions to secure Ruby’s future. This leads him to the only conclusion: he must kill Hikaru Kamiki.

Hikaru tries to negotiate, but Aqua cuts him off, revealing his plan. He decides to commit suicide to ensure that the media will not pursue Ruby without mercy.

Aqua Hoshino plunges the knife into himself, intending to die alongside Hikaru. This act aims to create a narrative that Hikaru attempted to kill Aqua following the anticipated release of an autobiographical film. The struggle results in Aqua pushing Hikaru, leading them both to tumble off a cliff.
