Oshi no Ko season 2 episode 8 recap

Oshi no Ko season 2 episode 8, titled 'Trigger,' first focused on Kana Arima's acting. She was informed by Taiki Himekawa that he wanted to do improvised scenes. But in reality, the scenes were for Kana, as Aqua wanted to use the opportunity to push her into acting to the best of her abilities. While Kana was hesitant at first due to her past, she gave in to Aqua's request and started acting like the dazzling sun.

Following that, the anime switched its focus to Aqua Hoshino. Taishi Gotanda had helped him identify his trigger and asked him to get help. But considering Aqua's persistence to stay in the acting industry, Gotanda suggested to him that he never enjoy acting again. Thus, painfully, Aqua played his role as Touki, hoping to surpass Taiki, Kana, and Akane.

Oshi no Ko season 2 episode 9 will most likely depict the end of the 'Tokyo Blade' stage play. With that, the cast members will finally be able to reflect on their performances and prepare for their future shows.

Kana Arima had finally let go of the supportive role while acting. Hence, she might have a lot to think about before accepting any future projects. As for Aqua Hoshino, he could go through some turmoil following his performance. However, fans can expect Akane or Gotanda to help him through it.
