In Oshi no Ko Episode 4, Aqua will see his work showcased with the release of “Sweet Today” and make a lasting impression on his co-star, Kana Arima.

Oshi no Ko Episode 3 Recap and Episode 4 Spoilers

Aqua has already found a sufficient source to test Masaya Kaburagi’s DNA to see if he’s a match. At the end of Episode 3 he decides, while he’s there, to end his time on the show with a bang, and in Episode 4, he will deliver. But it won’t necessarily be solely to steal the show — in fact, a lot of his performance is meant to directly highlight Kana Arima, and this has a profound effect on how the actress views Aqua.

With regards to how Episode 3 handled Kana, I was pleased with how aptly it handled her position as a former child star who still wants to make it in show business. It’s clever and incisive, and even an innocuous greeting like “I haven’t seen you in so long” can cut like a knife for people whose income and pride are constantly depending on them always being seen in their latest projects. Kana is a great character, and I hope viewers get to enjoy her similarly.

Episode 4 will also see Aqua going on the next steps in his quest, while Ruby embarks on the next steps to become a pop idol. But to revive B-Komachi, Ai’s old group, Ruby will need additional strong performers who would make strong public faces. Aqua, having just worked with Kana, throws her name into the mix.

Finally, for the Kaguya-sama fans in the audience, you might get to see a fully tangible connection between Kaguya-sama: Love Is War and Oshi no Ko with the release of Episode 4 or later. This comes in the form of Frill Shiranui, whose sister is Koromo Shiranui, essentially bringing characters from the two stories together via the family connection.
