we're finally back with another oshi no ko episode and it was SOOOO GOOD btw i will not be able to upload next weeks episode until after june 18th! i will try to get it out ASAP D:
I think that's basically what he was saying, he used to see himself as his old self in a new body but over time he's realizing he's becoming a new person but still shaped by his old memories.
@@username-ql8ox the aqua in his mind is young talented actor,and his old self is a jaded normal guy,so he essentially saying he start to lose those "special" of aqua
0:52 “A…Akane?” Neat detail from the manga: Akane’s first name is written in hiragana, and Ai’s is written in katakana. Aqua’s first “A” here is in katakana - he was about to say “Ai” and stopped himself.
The way the studio playing with the color palette with Kana's scene in that crossroad is very interesting. Like it's so pale when she was alone then when Aqua called her it went bright. It really tells you the mental state of Kana and maybe Aqua too because it's stay that way during the catch ball scene.
the thing I took away from the thing Aqua monologued after talking with Kana. wouldn't it make sense if he went to Kana to compare feelings with Akane? He probably feels a certain way towards Kana, and wanted to know if that same feeling is present with Akane too. becuase he probably likes Kana in that way.
Agreed, I think at the very least he subconsciously views Kana as a romantic interest. I think being with kana helped him realize that his feelings for akane weren't romantic, but just like seeing Ai ghost.
@@brezals he may be conscious of them for sure, I just mean at the very least I think he subconsciously views her that way. But you are right he may very well know how he feels about her.
I didn’t think I would love Akane more than I did the previous episodes, but damn she has done so much research on Ai that she’s literally become Ai reincarnated, to where even Ruby said, “Momma”. Please don’t let anymore bad stuff happen to Akane, let the bad stuff stay in the past. 🙏 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I would say Aqua is conflicted over the blurring of his identity ~ His relationship with Ai is very complicated ~ He is a fan of hers and at the same time a doctor who was in-charged of her but later due to his death, he is now Ai’s son ~ so the question he would ask is “So who am I exactly?” As time passes living as Aqua, he starts losing his doctor identity and his existence is slowly merging to the point where he is all of the above mentioned (I believe he dissociates the different identities previously, a reason why he did not call Ai “mum” or indulge in any so called baby behaviours) we can say that this is something like multiple personalities disorder
yess the animation!! the way this show is directed is so gorgeous and i love all the stylistic choices especially the colours. ive been really confused about aqua’s feelings as well and what ai really is to him. like he blushed because he was seeing ai come to life in akane and i dont know what to make of it. His situation is complicated though and the guy is confused himself. i just appreciate how he is thinking through this just as we are
As a man myself. I lil bit undestand what aqua means toward kana. Kana has become his comforting person for Aqua, and maybe not yet in love, but respected in another way.
I think he subconsciously likes kana and talking to her and working through it helped him realize that he didn't like Akane. After he complimented kana and she lit up with happiness, that seemed to do something to him subconsciously, and he got the answer he was looking for.
I think when Aqua said that his past self is disappearing I think he meant his past life as a doctor is gone but the memories stays and he is a completely new person now as Aqua whose only goal right now is to find Ai's killer
Aqua's feelings towards girls "he's into" is very complicated and what's even more interesting is how they stem from Ai being his mother & an idol crush to him.
12:29 I don't think Aqua likes Kana, but I also thought it was strange how she helped him to realize his own feelings about Akane. I wonder what did the difference, is Kana really the one who makes Aqua comfortable? Even if he don't tell everything about himself, if it's true, then it is a sign of him liking her? I have too many questions of my Aqua-Kana ship
I mean, it's been happening the whole time. Teenage Aqua is clearly a completely different personality from Goro. Baby Aqua was an extension of Goro himself, but it's long past that point now. Environment and DNA both equally shape a person, Aqua at this point might as well be a different person with just access to memory of another.
Akane might burst if she knew how big of a compliment it was for Aqua to say it was like actually seeing Ai. I think what he's saying is that when he was initially reborn, it was much easier to compartmentalize and distinguish between "himself" and the child Aqua because he had to keep the two separate for appearances. It also helped that his young brain wasn't holding on to memories. Now that he doesn't have to maintain two personas to not seem creepy or give himself away, the line is getting blurry and it's hard for him to differentiate between what thoughts and feelings are "him" and which ones are Aqua.
13:22 I was thinking of the opposite how he's gradually becoming more and more like hes past adult self and losing hes young Aqua self surrounded by the events of Ai being her mother and stuff coz he did mention infantile amnesia... but I probably got that wrong and it's more complicated than that. While we only got a small reaction from Ruby .saying 'Mom' ..in her past as Sarina she was hospitalized at a young age with little to no interaction with her parents... Is just sad.. so I wonder if we're gonna get more reaction out of her with Akane acting like Ai.. so we can see more of the difference on how Aqua and Ruby would be handling the situation.
Funny thing, Aqua's Tilt-A-Whirl of emotions aren't really that different from what most teenagers go through. How quick did Akane go back to being Akane? I was prepared to be pretty pissed at Aqua if he lied to Akane and strung her along to get info on who his father is. She read him like a book and knew that he doesn't see her as a love interest and called him on the carpet. Good on him for being truthful and realizing that he can get her help without playing her or leading her on. I thought Aqua was playing Kana, but she seemed to get it, and he needed to figure out how he really felt about Akane. Kana is suuuuuuuper jealous. MEM-cho is set to be fleshed out as a character, and I love it.
I dont know about you guys but my mind kinda drift into phychological horror. I hate it but i always have this thought in the back of my mind. Its not explicit shown or even in the subtext but from my own assimptions i forget that aqua was a normal guy but at the same time i feel like his obsession with ai and the tragedy of ai and the fact that he spent 4 years trying all phone password combinations I think that aqua is not normal anymore but mentally unstable therefore many times i expect aqua to have a psychotic episodes like really freak out and look crazy Does this happen to tou guys?
Not manga readers view. I'm sure akane's insight and intelligence are top notch, she's even smarter than aqua. However, akene is very bad at dealing with her own feelings, and once she falls into this relationship with aqua, she will become overwhelmed😢 Aqua is definitely cunning, even though he honestly told Akane that he only had a boyfriend and girlfriend relationship with her because of TV job.
I always get the feeling that Aqua and Akane have different kinds of intelligence. Akane is crazy good at inference and putting pieces together quickly. But Aqua always seems to be better at actually planning stuff out and building a coherent idea out of the information he has.
we're finally back with another oshi no ko episode and it was SOOOO GOOD
btw i will not be able to upload next weeks episode until after june 18th! i will try to get it out ASAP D:
Enjoy your time off !
a shame, but take your time c:
this ep their 1st step best girl Akane & Aqua to true best couple 🥰❤ Lets goo ❤ XD
@@oshinokoakanefan1 kana fans akane haters also know obvious truth facts akane already far better now to even compare
I think that's basically what he was saying, he used to see himself as his old self in a new body but over time he's realizing he's becoming a new person but still shaped by his old memories.
Then we could say hes like 80% Aqua with 20% of gorou or something like that???
I read it as he's gradually becoming his old self and no longer being aqua
@@piput8533 How can that happen when he always thought of himself that way? He started like that but now he's questioning it.
@@username-ql8ox the aqua in his mind is young talented actor,and his old self is a jaded normal guy,so he essentially saying he start to lose those "special" of aqua
@@piput8533 no thats not it at all. He started as thinking as gorou however slowly he is becomig aqua

Akane "you can calls me mommy now" Kurokawa
AQUA: "I have a lot of things on my mind, you get it"
AI-KANE: It's not that far, you can grab it.
AQUA: YES MOMMY.
mans got obedient INSTANTLY
damn mom, you look pretty good today💀
@@VyKeR08 nahh you foul for sayin that 💀💀
@@VyKeR08 Bro💀💀💀
*SQUEALS* 😂
I LOVED THIS EPISODE, THE KISS?! AKANE BEING SO SMART LIKE TF, also Kana is my favourite so sucks seeing her this sad, i don't want her to be hurt😭
The VA for Akane did an amazing job! She sounds just like Ai.
The way the studio playing with the color palette with Kana's scene in that crossroad is very interesting. Like it's so pale when she was alone then when Aqua called her it went bright. It really tells you the mental state of Kana and maybe Aqua too because it's stay that way during the catch ball scene.
yeah i love that palette change so damn much. It's simple and effective way to portray kana's feeling.
It feels like Kana seems to be the one Aqua goes to for peace of mind
😂😂😂😂😂😂

@@Doflamingo757 but why would that be the case if he weren't conscious about actual feelings towards Kana?
@@brezals he may be conscious of them for sure, I just mean at the very least I think he subconsciously views her that way. But you are right he may very well know how he feels about her.
😂😂😂😂😂 ler o mangá? 🤡
I can't get over how beautifully these animators draw the character's eyes. That and their use of color is just so, so good
I didn’t think I would love Akane more than I did the previous episodes, but damn she has done so much research on Ai that she’s literally become Ai reincarnated, to where even Ruby said, “Momma”. Please don’t let anymore bad stuff happen to Akane, let the bad stuff stay in the past. 🙏 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Akane manage to make 2 teenager call her mommy in 20 minute

omg, this thumbnail... she is gorgeous!!! I love Kana!

I can't wait to watch how the anime unfold after this. I wanna see how the characters progress even further.
I finally figured out the idol trio in the opening
ルビー かな MEMちょ
Already realized since eps 3 cause i like watch op scene. I spoiler my self LMAO 😂😂
@@snap3181 comment section is a scary place my bro
I love the voice acting cast on all of these character especially for Kana and Akane I was skeptical at first but both of them did an amazing job!
Kana is just so precious
Holy sht i just remembered we wont get tokyo blade arc this season 😢
I too am sad we won't see Kana Kenpachi this season.
Sad we won't see Akane simping for Kana.
@@irinechemist2550 I like how Kana's biggest simps are:
Aqua and Akane
Watching this episode on my bday was great as heck, so glad they went on break last week
As a man myself. I lil bit undestand what aqua means toward kana. Kana has become his comforting person for Aqua, and maybe not yet in love, but respected in another way.
I think he subconsciously likes kana and talking to her and working through it helped him realize that he didn't like Akane. After he complimented kana and she lit up with happiness, that seemed to do something to him subconsciously, and he got the answer he was looking for.
It isn't just the aesthetic of Akane's transformation into Ai. It is the voice actress switch that makes you feel just as shook as Aqua.
Fun fact, they didn't change akane's VA. Her VA legit just impersonated Ai's
I think when Aqua said that his past self is disappearing I think he meant his past life as a doctor is gone but the memories stays and he is a completely new person now as Aqua whose only goal right now is to find Ai's killer
Mem-cho gave off some major Chika Fujiwara vibes at points in this episode and I am here for it, especially at the 1:50 mark
Oshi no ko hasnt disappointed once yet every week so far for me
9:51 who's gonna tell her
Aqua's feelings towards girls "he's into" is very complicated and what's even more interesting is how they stem from Ai being his mother & an idol crush to him.
Akane!! ❤❤
I mean Mem is in the opening when the idol trio (New B komachi) go up on stage so it was obvious she would join eventually :P
Can't wait for my girl Ruby to shine in the next episode. I will always support you ❤
12:29 I don't think Aqua likes Kana, but I also thought it was strange how she helped him to realize his own feelings about Akane. I wonder what did the difference, is Kana really the one who makes Aqua comfortable? Even if he don't tell everything about himself, if it's true, then it is a sign of him liking her?

Environment and DNA both equally shape a person, Aqua at this point might as well be a different person with just access to memory of another.
After seeing many reactions of episode 8, is seems like "It's just acting" is an effective get out of jail free card in a lot of peoples minds.
MEM-Cho HYPE! I am a huge fan of hers lol. I can't wait.
Fun Fact : oshi no ko have the same manga creator of love is war. So there's maybe a crossover on the manga 👀
"I assume Ai had a kid in secret"
music violently stops
Glad to see someone else catching the marketing force that Mem is bringing to the idol group in addition to her cute peppy self.
Akane might burst if she knew how big of a compliment it was for Aqua to say it was like actually seeing Ai.

12:39 12:42 well, great catch! I watch many reaction videos and I think you are the only one who got that implicit message :p
same i cant figure out what he meant about realizing his akane feelings through kana. it could be interpreted in so many ways
13:22 I was thinking of the opposite how he's gradually becoming more and more like hes past adult self and losing hes young Aqua self surrounded by the events of Ai being her mother and stuff coz he did mention infantile amnesia... but I probably got that wrong and it's more complicated than that.
While we only got a small reaction from Ruby .saying 'Mom' ..in her past as Sarina she was hospitalized at a young age with little to no interaction with her parents...
Is just sad.. so I wonder if we're gonna get more reaction out of her with Akane acting like Ai.. so we can see more of the difference on how Aqua and Ruby would be handling the situation.
✨SHE"S BACK✨
Kana is seriously one of the best girl in oshi no ko i seriously root her ❤❤❤❤❤
No spoilers but even reading the manga can produce goosebumps
great reaction as always
Am I watching Classroom of the Idols S3 with Aquakouji?
I know aqua is not the same like Ayanokoji but when he say "i can use akane" My mind instantly reminded of him
can't wait for the next episode
worth the wait
Aqua is such a sociopath, lmao.
As a manga reader, I can't wait to see hiw downward spiral animated.
Akane knows everything.
been waiting for this😊😊😊
Funny thing, Aqua's Tilt-A-Whirl of emotions aren't really that different from what most teenagers go through.
How quick did Akane go back to being Akane?
I was prepared to be pretty pissed at Aqua if he lied to Akane and strung her along to get info on who his father is.
She read him like a book and knew that he doesn't see her as a love interest and called him on the carpet. Good on him for being truthful and realizing that he can get her help without playing her or leading her on.
I thought Aqua was playing Kana, but she seemed to get it, and he needed to figure out how he really felt about Akane.
Kana is suuuuuuuper jealous.
MEM-cho is set to be fleshed out as a character, and I love it.
9:56 i miss this line🤣
I HECKING LOVE MEMCHO
Felt sad for Aqua cause i think he was about to burst out cry when he ran out…😢
I'm woried for my girl, Kana. I'm rooting for her soo much
you thought he looked scared? looked more like "stunned" to me
I have one thing in mind. Ayanokoji would be proud
It´s about to go Detective Conan Syle. I´m hyped.
B Komachi needs at least 7 members. 9 would be ideal.
this ep their 1st step best girl Akane & Aqua to true best couple 🥰❤ Lets goo ❤ XD
I dont know about you guys but my mind kinda drift into phychological horror. I hate it but i always have this thought in the back of my mind.

Does this happen to tou guys?
Kana is my favourite character and I hope she doesn't end with Aqua. The guy has too many personal issues to have a healthy relationship.
New Bkomachi MEMber LFG !!!!!!
W thumbnail btw

Akane know more about Ai than aqua know about Ai
Definitely should give a chance to classroom of the elite
Let's gather some tools 🧰
Poor Arima. I dont know what else to say without spoiling lol
Also,Day 112 of requesting Alana to watch plastic memories
Who to root for akane or kana sheesh
My heart sank when they kissed. Maybe I'm a kana arima x aqua ship?? 😂😢😅
i still like aquaka ship more then him with kana 🥲
+1
I like you. At least your reactions legitimate i hate peoples reaction videos that go over the top.
I m with kana x aqua shipping 😭
Damn you look so gorgeous👍😘
dude this anime design animation and directing is something else Doga Kobo is really out did themself after all the mediocre stuff they put out
