Oshi no Ko season 2 episode 1, titled 'Tokyo Blade,' saw the Tokyo Blade Stage Play rehearsals begin. Raida Sumiaki was very excited by the prospect of witnessing Akane Kurokawa vs. Kana Arima but he felt that Akane was better. Taiki Himekawa showcased his acting skills, pushing Kana Arima to cooperate with him. This allowed Kana Arima to showcase her true acting skills, one that attracted people's eyes to her.

Akane Kurokawa felt threatened by this and tried countering it in her way but the alterations to her role in the stage play did not allow it. Hence, Aqua tried helping her out by speaking to Director Toshirou Kindaichi and Scriptwriter Goa. From this interaction, Akane realized that her objective was to make the conflict in the story easy to understand.

The anime episode later saw the "Tokyo Blade" manga creator Abiko Samejima and "Sweet Today" manga creator Yoriko Kichijouji attend the rehearsals. After watching the cast members' acting skills, Abiko expressed that she wished to get the entire script modified.
