The cosplay tribute is pretty impressive, and of course, anime fans were quick to share the viral moment. Oshi no Ko spent much of its first episodes building up Ai as the most lovable heroine, so many were stunned by its final moments. The young mother and popular idol was murdered in cold blood, leaving her twins to navigate a world clouded by grief. As Oshi no Ko season one carried on, the twins began their mission to uncover the identity of their mom's murderer, and the whole thing kicked off with this shocking scene. So honestly, it was just a matter of time before a group of anime cosplayers brought the moment to life.

If you are not caught up with Oshi no Ko, the anime is available to stream on HIDIVE. For more details on the idol drama, you can read its official synopsis here: "Gorou is an ob-gyn with a life far removed from the glitz and glamour of the entertainment industry―the world of his favorite idol, rising star Ai Hoshino. But when the two are unexpectedly brought together, their fates become intertwined in ways that defy all reason. For the good doctor, it's time to stan(d) and deliver!"
