What Happens in Oshi no Ko Season 2, Episode 4?

Much of the runtime of Oshi no Ko Season 2, Episode 4 centered on the dispute between the stage play writer of Tokyo Blade and the original manga creator that the play is based on. The episode explored the creative process and compromises that are required to get big productions such as a stage play made, and it was all very intriguing. Eventually, the rewrites by both creatives were completed, allowing the actors in the play to continue rehearsals.

Where things get interesting is when Aqua reads the newly revised script and realizes how much more emotion and nuance will be required of him. Attempting to put happier emotions on display for his acting, the guilt and depression over Ai’s death suddenly overtake him, leading to an emotional moment between him and Akane. The episode ends with a tease that Aqua still has his inner demons to overcome before he can deliver an authentic performance.

So, Oshi no Ko Season 2, Episode 5 will be released on Wednesday, July 31, and will be available to stream on HiDive.
