According to the alleged Oshi no Ko chapter 164 spoilers, the upcoming chapter will be titled Final Act. Following the previous chapter, where Aqua Hoshino shared a conversation with Crow Girl, the protagonist was again seen sinking into the depths of the sea. Elsewhere, just as B-Komachi's live performance ended, Kana Arima tried looking for Aqua Hoshino. Unfortunately, he was nowhere to be seen. As for Ruby Hoshino, she could be seen interacting with fans.

The Oshi no Ko chapter 164 spoilers then switched back to Aqua as he was cold and in pain. Just as he started sinking deeper into the sea, he started regretting his decision as he wanted to breathe. His heart and body were screaming as he wanted to live. The only thing he wanted more than anything at the time was a quick death as he could no longer bear the pain.

Just then, the Oshi no Ko chapter 164 spoilers saw the three B-Komachi members singing together. Seemingly, Aqua Hoshino was able to hear this song and started smiling. With that, the series' protagonist passed away with a smile on his face.

The Oshi no Ko chapter 164 spoilers then experienced a minor time skip as everyone found out about Aqua and Hikaru's death. Even the people from Strawberry Production seemingly found out about it through the news. As for Kana Arima, she was left shocked with pitch-black eyes.

The manga chapter saw Akane Kurokawa conveying to Aqua (who is dead) what happened to him after his death. Seemingly, a fisherman found his body 20 kilometers away from the crime scene. There was minimal damage to his body due to the coldness of the winter sea.

The deaths of Aqua and Hikaru became a huge news story as the media depicted that Aqua Hoshino was killed by Hikaru Kamiki due to the 15-Year Lie movie script. But Akane realized that was far from the truth; she realized that Aqua had sacrificed himself to protect Ruby's future.

After the last time Aqua and Akane spoke, Akane believed that the former was going to come back. He had the face of someone who wanted to live, the face of someone who did not want to die. So, Akane was confused as to why Aqua did not let her help him. If he wanted to kill Hikaru, she would have planned the perfect crime and happily become a murderer. This is because she did not mind falling as far as it was with him.
