Oshi no Ko season 2 episode 7, titled 'The Sun,' saw the Tokyo Blade Stage Play proceed further, as Kana Arima's co-stars were left impressed by her experience and skills as an actor.

Nevertheless, Akane wanted to seize the opportunity to act with Kana. Unfortunately, the moment Kana was about to start acting to the best of her abilities, her past caught up with her, forcing her to act cooperatively.

What to expect from Oshi no Ko season 2 episode 8?

Oshi no Ko season 2 episode 8 will be titled Trigger. The episode will continue the Tokyo Blade stage play and will now bring Aqua Hoshino into the spotlight. As seen in the climax of the previous episode, Aqua and Akane decided to help Kana shine in the spotlight. So, the next episode might see Kana do the best acting she has ever done in the series.

Moreover, the chapter might also see Aqua again get the panic attacks he gets whenever he thinks of his past or Ai. So, the episode might also see him trying to look for a solution as showing the world his weakness might be dangerous. However, the majority of the chapter will be entered around Kana, and might even see one of her flashbacks.
