What to Expect in Chapter 163

In Oshi No Ko Chapter 163, we might see Aqua sinking deeper into despair, hinting at the possible end of Gorou Amamiya’s storyline. However, this doesn’t necessarily mean the end for Aqua Hoshino. While Gorou may find closure with his regrets, Aqua still has unresolved issues to tackle.

There’s a strong possibility that Crow Girl will swoop in to save Aqua, preventing him from dying at this crucial moment. He may wake up in a hospital after being rescued, but even though his plan may have played out as intended, the other characters are likely to criticize him for taking such reckless risks.

Recap of Chapter 162

Oshi No Ko Chapter 162, titled “Aqua Hoshino,” starts with Aqua and Hikaru grappling underwater. Aqua has Hikaru by the throat, but Hikaru, weakened after hitting his head on a rock, struggles to fight back.

As Hikaru’s strength wanes, he feels himself being pulled deeper by the dead. In his last moments, he reflects on his time with Ai, realizing he only felt truly alive when he was with her. As he aged, that feeling faded, and he thought he could revive it by harming Ruby.

Meanwhile, while B-Komachi’s concert goes on, Tsukuyomi appears above the water, questioning Aqua about whether he’s found his mission. Underwater, Aqua comes to the realization that his reincarnation isn’t about revenge; it’s about protecting his sister, Ruby. He remembers their past lives and concludes that his purpose has always been intertwined with hers. The chapter wraps up with Aqua feeling relieved at the thought of possibly dying before her this time as he starts to lose consciousness.

With the stakes higher than ever, readers are left excited for the next chapter!
