Oshi no Ko Season 2 is heating up, and fans have gotten the first look at what’s coming next with the preview for Episode 7! The second season of the anime taking on Aka Akasaka and Mengo Yokoyari’s original manga series has kicked off the 2.5D Stage Play arc after spending the first few episodes of the season seeing Aqua and the others rehearse for the new play. As seen with the last couple of episodes, this play is challenging each of these young actors to push themselves harder than ever before or else their performances weigh down the entire experience.
Oshi no Ko has kicked off the new arc to showcase even more of the rivalry between Akane and Kana, and it’s clear that their time in this play together is a greater battle than fans might be aware of. After being previously clued into the fact that Akane actually admired Kana when the two of them were both kids, it’s clear that years of working together since have turned that into a heated back and forth where the two will need to decide on a winner through the course of the Tokyo Blade play. Check out the preview for Oshi no Ko Season 2 Episode 7 below.
