1. Synopsis of Oshi No Ko Season 3

In Oshi no Ko Season 3, the story is expected to increasingly focus on Aqua Hoshino's journey as he gets closer to the truth behind his mother, Ai Hoshino's death. The entertainment world, which once seemed glamorous, now feels increasingly cruel, filled with intrigue, manipulation, and sacrifice. Aqua is no longer just a talented young actor but also a figure who coldly plots his steps for revenge.

Meanwhile, Ruby begins to carve her own path as an idol with big ambitions. However, the dream she pursues gradually intersects with the bitter realities of an industry that is equally destructive. This season has the potential to showcase Ruby's increasingly complex inner conflict, especially as she starts to understand the dark side of the world she once admired. The relationships between characters are also predicted to become more intense, with emotions, secrets, and major decisions that will change the direction of the story.
