Oshi no Ko chapter 160, titled 'Eye,' saw Aqua Hoshino confronting his father Hikaru Kamiki for his lies. While he conveyed that he did nothing to harm Ai, he had been inciting Niino and Ryosuke to commit crimes for him. In fact, he was the one who pushed Niino to kill his daughter Ruby Hoshino.

The manga chapter later saw Hikaru realizing that Aqua had the same eyes as himself, ones that allowed them to deceive others. Aqua agreed that he had the same eyes as his father but was certain that Ruby was different. Ruby's eyes were filled with love as she used them to convey songs of love to her fans, helping them be less lonely. With that, Aqua decided to carry out his original revenge plan, which was to kill Hikaru.

Oshi no Ko chapter 161 will most likely see Aqua Hoshino try and kill his father. But considering how the plot has been shaped until now, there is a good chance that someone will stop him from committing the crime.

Given that Akane Kurokawa was still back at Ruby's home, the Crow Girl could make an appearance in the next chapter. With that, fans could finally learn her role in the story.
