I have only just realized that Aqua and Rubys red and blue eyes are the two colours that make purple. Which is the colours of Ai's eyes

[Alexander]

( spoiler) I believe the star means their talent, skills and capabilities. Aqua and ruby got one star showing that they got their mother’s genes meaning they have the the capability of becoming stars just like their mother. Also later on Akane gets two stars on her eyes when acting like Ai meaning that her giving her 100% and acting similar to Ai triggered the stars to activate. Later on ( sorry for the spoilers ) Ruby gets to stars when she starts working really really hard to achieve her goals. So yea the stars mean their talent, skills, and hard work.

[ayaan]

Something really interesting that happens with aqua and ruby I'd that when there angry like really angry about something specially something about there and ai's past the star goes dark and spreads to both there eyes

[DDA_TRAD]

Actually, it is definitely a reference to Japanese Gods (even Ruby refers herself as Amaterasu when she was a baby).
In the Japanese tale, Izanagi washed his left eye in the river, he made Amaterasu (Ruby, god of sun, Left eye star)
and when he washed his right eye, he made Tsukuyomi (Aquamarine, god of the moon, right eye star).
Later, in life, they both Tsukuyomi and Amaterasu married each other (hinted like how Sarina wanted to marry doc when she got older)...
I've seen an in-depth explanation in a Japanese video, but that's the gist of it.

[neerajoshi]

The star eyes are not physically there because other characters also get the star eyes later down the story like Akane

[kallistikaleid]

always so sure everyone understood that the star shapes in their eyes were clearly for the reader/viewer only. It's a symbol of their secrets, their power, their furious passion, and the connection between parent and children.
The first time I heard someone say "Well, they see their eyes, right? They have to know" and the such, I was bewildered. Real people whose pupils/irises had such a freakish shape would be famous around the world from birth. :/

[abiutheartist]

Fun fact: Ai means “Love in Japanese” and it’s pronunciation Ai resembles the English word “Eye”
So, it’s an important detail, about her whole character

[ChibiChidorii]

I think Aqua and Ruby having only one star eye is also a symbol of them basically having 2 lives. Identity is in big part made up of our personal experiences. They both already lived a life, but that doesn't mean the new life and identity they have is fake because they did grow up being Aqua and Ruby, nor does that mean that they sometimes are one person and sometimes the other. They are basically two people at all times.

[jephilologist]

You got the intent on the stars being a cue for the audience, and not actually on their eyes. However, the white stars don't indicate "deceit."

This theme/device is like a play on the concept of yin & yang. They turn dark when the character in question is leaning towards realism/pessimism/negativity. When they are white- they are in a neutral-positive state. When they are shining in their color/brightly, more so with the "galaxy eyes", the character is being their "true self"- they are the most "raw/honest" in that state.

Like say, when Ai is on stage performing, her eyes shine the brightest, not because she is lying to her audience, but because she is living out her desire to try to love others by entertaining them- which is the only kind of "love" she has ever learned throughout her dysfunctional development.

Yes, she may be "technically" lying to her audience, since it is all a performance- but that performance IS her most sincere form of giving love. It's all she's ever learned- but she DOES WANT to love others. That is why her eyes shone bright when the manager saw through her facade during her scouting interview. It's also why it was shining most furiously when she saw her babies dancing- and the online commenter rightly saw that that was Ai's most genuine smile to date.

The shining star galaxy eyes are indicative of the character beaming with shining sincerity. And when they are black- it is a clouded realist façade. Edit: think, Haikyuu's Hinata vs Tsukishima

[Lotuswalker]

I just wonder if Ruby and Aqua actually share the fact, who they were in their previous life and that they knew each other very well. Hope the Manga gets a full adaptation !!! The show is sooo good

[usagirocks]

I think each one only has one because theyre both splits of AI. Ruby has pinky red, aqua has blue, add those together you get purple- Ai's eye color. Add their stars together you get 2 stars. I think its like that.

[shinjiikari]

AI's final moments also reflects that the lyrics in the end of the full version of idol, the opening theme, perfectly matching up with her hugging her children from behind saying I love you, but disappearedcwhen they turned around

[raicacananta]

🎉NO SPOILER🎉
(I will only use events that are already animated as examples)
I'm a manga reader, but for me I think that the stars in their eyes represents a goal that they desire. As you can see in the 1st episode, ai looked quite gloomy before she was an idol, but while being scouted by the ceo, as he said there are many forms of love, including lying, ai's eyes brighten up hoping to actually experience real love through this journey. And I think that's her goal, since while dying, she told ruby and aqua she loved them and it definately isn't a lie, and later the stars in her eyes disappeared and it would also align with the opening song's lyrics. The stars disappearing is'nt her soul leaving, but fullfilling her deepest desire. ( maybe after a few more episode or in another season you guys will know why I said this 😊😅❤)

[apackofhoboes]

The eyes changed based on their emotions. Which is easy to assess. The only people that can see the stars are the readers. I think the characters in the show “see” them but it is more related to seeing the brightness of the person or how sometimes a person can sometimes “glow” at certain times.

[nathanpolilla]

When I first saw some clips and spoilers from the anime I thought Ai was an actual star, like, a star that fell from the sky and lived as a human idol (because of the scene in the hospital's roof where she's right below a bright star.) And was killed because she was not from this world or something like that.

[AmenKingGaming]

This might fit in with how Akane was able to replicate those starry eyes.

[xLotusAngelx]

When I first saw the stars and how they changed color I figure it was visual way to show us the audience how the characters are feeling...I mean think about it if other characters could see the Star eyes (like Doma's rainbow eyes from Demon Slayer) than when characters talked about how great Ai the Idol is they likely would mentioned her Star Eyes after all it's not like she was trying to hide them or they were just Special Designed Color Eye Contacts.

[segevstormlord]

It is worth noting that, while the star-eyes are not visible to the characters in-universe, characters in-universe do _react_ to them. Their showing up in one character's eyes shows she's achieved a particular spoiler accomplishment and Aqua reacts very strongly to what they represent in that moment. When Aqua or Ruby's stars glow, people are hit by the same sort of charisma that Ai seemed to have. When Aqua's star turns dark, too, it is a clear indication of how well his emotions get across.

[reneecrimson]

As I have mentioned to people even as a little girl was one of my favorite Quotes "The eyes are the gateway to ones soul." as someone who embodies this as the only way to figure out what I'm truly feeling/thinking at any given moment I can say with up most certainty the star eyes are something that may, in fact, will be unique to the individual (ones true self/soul) not just the same premise for everyone who may end up with them.

[sabsyplayzzz]

i don't think only viewers can see the eyes.because in the anime when aqua was asked about what his choice in women was he talked about eyes the glimmer like the sun. and then akane pulled up the enxt day with the same starry eyes and aqua recognized them being different.
