【Oshi no Ko】 - Ch. 163 - YOU

[strider_01]

Good chapter, gonna kill Aka less

 

[KanchouM]

Holy shit the madman

 

[luxray630]

Q: Who am I?

A: Yes.

 

[Justking14]

Oh shit. I actually think he’s dead now. The crow god girl definitely looked like she was mourning him

 

[Rand564]

Yeah... no, still don't believe he is dead or will stay dead.

 

[UnlimitedPainWork]

I need answer

 

[Saybah]

Spoiler

I bet, that in the next chapters we will see him accepting "Aqua Hoshino's life" and then waking up after someone rescued him from the water. Again, cliché, but at least it seems like a logical progression.

Spoiler

Inb4 Akane also predicted this and is the one who will save him

 

[radstylix]

His chances of living just rose, whew

[Takuma_Aki]

Oi... Why do I feel like he really dies... I mean, realistically speaking, the area looks to be remote, so the chance of someone finding him in time is very unlikely; but still...

Spoiler: Either that or...

Either that or he actually died. In that case I'd think the route would be he reborn again... which is likely going to be Ruby's child. But definitely without any memory this time, or it'll be weird as fuck...

 

[Lame_Security]

Yeah, I'm not accepting his death until they fish his cold, lifeless body out of the ocean. Can't fake me out that easy.

Crow god exist in this manga, so even that's not an assurance.

Seriously wants him to crawl out of this one on his own.

Likely he’ll survive, just because “positivity”, and the rest will just Aka trying to make the situation looks more dire so the reveal of him still alive is like something to be celebrated.

 

[Asheron]

A few chapters left but I'm not optimistic about the last 10 chapters living up to the greatness of the first 10 chapters.

Still holding out hope for Aqua/Ruby ending.

 

[ShikiAlter]

Seems like he returned to live in the end of chapter.

That what if is everything went right was wholesome and sad in same time.

 

[nicolas22g]

Aqua in a sea of ruby red blood

 

[Sholvq]

Aqua will be reincarnated.
... as a crow.

 

[PrecureHunter]

wow, really riveting stuff from Aka
imagine all those years of work just to write this dogshit chapter and make it pass as some deep message about selfworth lmao

well, ive gone through so many awful manga endings, this is not even the worst

 

[Morose]

Is this a bad end

Is it?
What is Bad End anyway?

Well, Aka could easily play this off as Aqua's rebirth from the burden of revenge and regret. Buddhism. We are essentially already hinting at this, saying that he needs to get rid of Goro’s legacy.

There would be no point for Aka to convince Aqua to value his personality and identity if he was going to kill him. So I think saving him as a metaphorical rebirth would be an obvious move.
