The TRAGEDY of Yura and Who Might Be Next | Oshi No Ko

In the Oshi No Ko manga, Yura Katayose is said to be the greatest actress in Japan. Akane, Kana, Frill, and even Ruby are some of the rising stars in the acting industry, yet Yura stood alone at the top until a certain incident. She trusted the wrong person and it cost her dearly. Until this man is stopped by Aqua, this man will continue his spree. In this video, I'll go over everything we know about Yura and how we can use that information to figure out who might be the next victim...

With how much build up this starkiller has he has potential to be one of the best modern anime villains assuming the author can give a proper payoff to all of this build up.

[akixia]

I think Kana was also included since in 5D stage play, one of the directors say that "people tend to associate her with her crying but this kind of performance that made Kana Arima a household name" "A performance as brilliant as the sun, she's truly a star", kana don't have a star eyes but I think because kana is a star herself and alot of people already said it in the Manga (please don't attack me if you offended 😅😅 only my opinion)

[conkle]

I really appreciated how Hikaru was revealed in 109. In every panel that featured him (besides the final page) had his eyes closed, which made the reveal much more impactful once we get to the final page and see him with his eyes open revealing that he was in fact Hikaru.

Imagine being the No 1 Actress and You got used for someone's Character Introduction

[alcole-holic]

I’ve been watching all your OnK videos and I’m glad i caught this one. No one talks about how crucial this scene is so I’m glad that you did

[akinahara]

There's no way that was Hikaru was the one who pushed Akane off the stairs. I could have sworn that it was just an old man wearing a shady hoodie. But God damn, you just made me up my guard for my expectations for the next chapters I'll be reading. Nice video btw!

[arizona_anime_fan]

it's not going to be Akane, because akane knows who "the starkiller" is. She knows him, and won't let him close to her. The natural conclusion to this story is for him to target Ruby. Ruby doesn't know exactly who her father is, she just knows he's responsible for Ai's death. Aqua's secrecy will put her in danger.

[asefbodlox]

Reasons why Akane would die:

1) She has the staringan which Aqua's father is targeting.
2) She knows who Aqua's father is.
3) She said she is willing to walk the same path as Aqua.
4) Currently trying to stop Aqua's plan, which likely won't end well.
5) She already planned suicide before. So she ended up dead anyway won't be a surprise.

[claisolais]

Now that ruby and aqua found out about each other, it has to be ruby.

Then aqua has to seek help from those friends in order to get ruby back safely. Through saving ruby, aqua would finally atone himself for not to be able help Sarina the last time.

[alficammy]

I'm sceptical about Akane being one of Kamiki target, the reason is her star eyes is resulting of mimicking Ai character as the perfect idol. She basically just acting as Ai the perfect idol emotion shell. While the star eyes is basically to selling lies, white star lies to other while black star lying to yourself. But Akane only selling lies when acting or working and not in her daily life like Ai, Aqua or Ruby.

The scene with Yura having a star eyes and makes a declaration in chapter 109 page 9 and 10 is the thing that convince me that Kamiki only kill Yura because she having a self doubt that she would achieve all her dream like what she said to him consider deceptive eyes is eye of self doubt and normal eye is eye of self confidence. He killed her because he believe that Yura only believe in half of what she said so killing her in her peak would sort of immortalize her like Ai.

Also I believe Kana also would had this deceptive eyes consider her role in Ai biography movie is the B Komachi member who hate Ai. So one way or another she need to selling lies that she hate Ai when portraying that role consider Aqua and Ruby is Ai children and her close friends. Also I think Ruby the only one that fit Kamiki target description consider even Yura only talk about her.

[cosmicrays]

That's redundant, he tried to kill akane before on the staircase. And from a writing perspective that's the obvious bait.

Kana is written in a way, since the beginning of the story, to be this brilliant actress but she hasn't gotten the opportunity to shine on a grand stage, keeping her away from hikaru's sight and seemingly preference. She's basically been coasting under the radar for the entire series in the entertainment industry. Sure the idol stuff has been successful but it isn't on the level as when Ai was the lead. You factor in that kana is personally connected to both aqua and ruby on a deep personally level. If their dad wants to personally get back at them, because of the movie, that's an added bonus to make them suffer. Plus aqua has, clumsy, tried to protect kana for about half the series, if you take his past trauma of him not protecting/saving Ai and something happens to kana, it's going to get ugly.

And finally the color white symbolism. Kana's glow stick is white and it's considered "special" in idol culture. I believe on two occasions we seen white roses in the series. The first is with Ai's death scene and the second was at akane's event, clearly these white roses are his calling card for his next victim. The color white and white roses are symbolic of purity (among other things), in my opinion I believe the white glow stick and white roses are narratively connected. And if you look at the latest volume cover ( vol 11) it's Kana with a rose like dress with white gloves and there's a promotional art (official art) with kana holding a flower to her face, I'm not saying that means anything but man.


There's something that draws their father to highly popular (with star eyes) female actress in the industry, if he sees this movie and he sees kana's multi-star eyes, which also extends out from her body, that makes her radiates like the sun, which akane has directly stated, and she finally starts to garner more success and attention I believe Kana might be his next victim.

Personally for me there's too much subtext and stuff shown in our face over the course of the series that I can't think of anyone other her.

[redmustangredmustang]

One of the very few places where we can let loose and not hold back when it comes to this series especially the manga. Man Wednesday is going to be f ing awesome. The season one finale with it ending at chapter 40, the most likely season 2 announcement. The manga chapter and it's "big reveal". Aka stated in a recent interview is that he already has the ending planned out. Still it took a reliable leaker to tell us when Kaguya-sama Love is War was ending, it probably will be the same when it comes to this series. Either way all we have to do is sit back and watch as the good stuff starts to happen in the series.

[pedits]

Arima kana for sure and I think they are many hints that can be taken as a foreshadow of her death.

[babarrahim]

Honestly I don't Akane will be much of a target, don't get me wrong she's talented and a very famous actress but personally i think Hikaru will most likely go for Kana or Frill. Kana because not only is she extremely close to both Ruby and Aqua, but also because she's extremely talented in many different fields besides acting, and Frill because she is also extremely talented in many different fields. I would say that Ruby and Frill are friends but after Ruby found out about Gorous death she basically ghosted everone and only recently she is working with Kana as she is teaching her acting for the movie. The biggest target can be Kana as, not only is she a star who has similar energy as Ai (how they can both draw anyone in when they perform) but also because she has a very close relationship with the twins, and where Hikaru killed their mother, I don't think that killing their best friend will be hard for him. This is only my opinion tho-

[duyetpham]

Yura is what set Kamiki to be the antagonist. But i'm always off my seat to know who is his next target ??? Akane, Kana, or maybe even his own flesh and blood daughter Ruby ??? Maybe this is Aqua plan all along...

[LFanimes]

Since pretty much everything points to Ruby or Akane being the next target…

I very much believe Kana is the one he is going after.

Kana, the only one amongst the main cast who has never been shown with a starry eye, is the one with the biggest *POTENTIAL* to achieve that.

She already shines brightly. She’s one of the few people who was actually able to make Aqua look her way without explicitly mentioning Ai or being similar to her.

Plus, Aqua is very clearly trying to convince himself that he only sees Kana as a tool, even when he quite obviously doesn’t.

So my guess is that Hikaru will attack Kana, not only forcing Aqua to recognise his love, but also pretty much making him loose his cool once and for all. Dude might actually give up on his revenge because of it.

The outcome would be similar if Hikaru went after Ruby, but at this point, I think Aqua’s reaction would be a little different if Ruby were the target.

With Kana, he would get desperate. He would loose his cool. He would break once and for all.

With Ruby, having lost once more the person who represents the continuation of the two people he so desperately tried to save, Aqua would pretty much just spiral even further into his revenge and actually want to kill Hikaru even more. He would have nothing more to lose and his ideology would be entirely validated.

Plus, considering the events of 123, with Ruby back with her starry eyes and the crown-loli warning Aqua that this was a bad move, it’s also possible Hikaru will target her and Aqua will blame himself for making Ruby a star once again.

So yeah, anyways, from a story telling perspective, I doubt Akane will be the target. The flowers are just bait. For the better or for the worse, Aqua simply cares more about Kana and Ruby, so these two would get better reactions out of him (and hence better key moments for the manga itself).

Like, Akane is such an obvious target that, while possible, I just can’t quite believe Akasaka is going for this route. He is an author who really likes his twists and baits, after all.

And that’s not even mentioning the fact that Akane straight up knows who the killer is. She’s a way harder target.

Conclusion being, Mem-Cho is safe.

[GarethOfByzantium]

We don’t know his real motivations! For all we know he killed Yura to help Ruby get the part.

[headshot]

Probably akene gonna die while cooking🍲 a plan to save or stop aqua's plan
Killing kana wouldn't makes sense cuz she is kana so, yhea
Even if he targeted ruby she can't die it would make a lot of mess too! I donno about frill she is kinda sussy
Now we gotta wait for the new chapter

[MarkITEXE]

I just can’t help but think how the HELL the protagonists are going to deal with this ABSOLUTE MENACE TO SOCIETY. IF they can that is.

Also, (QUESTION) what if this is all going according to HIKARU’S PLAN???😱😱😱

[jinze]

Hikaru is after girls with star eyes, so Akane has the heights chance of getting killed. However, to me Akane's star eyes are more of a fake star than a real star. She only gets the star eyes whenever she acts like Ai.

Ruby is another great candidate but here star eyes are black, just like her father...
