Predictions for Oshi No Ko Ending

1. Anemone will be the one to find Katayose Yura's dead body.

In Japanese flower symbolism, Anemones or Windflowers represent death, bad luck, and forsaken love. And it just so happens we have a character named exactly that, who happens to be the only other character apart from Katayose Yura who loves being in the mountains.

Anemone will likely be climbing the same mountains on Yura's wishlist, and just like before, The Crow might lead Anemone to the dead body.

It's like Akasaka-sensei decided Spider Lilies are already too obvious a deathflag so he chose a different flower.

I'm taking the bet that Akane might be the person who figures out the connection between Yura and Kamiki, or Miki-san might simply show up on the news as a statement about his "dear friend Yura" who "disappeared".

Akane might also give the head's up to Aqua that she thinks Kamiki murdered Yura, and that would be a reason for the two to spend more time with each other again. (Might shove a wedge between Kana and Aqua again, if Aqua isn't already doing that himself lmao.) Either way, it'd be a convenient way for Akane to attempt to both "save" Aqua and also help him accomplish his goals without killing himself.

2. The person who texted Frill Shiranui is Miki-san.

Sylvanes made a fairly solid guess that Frill Shiranui works for Kamiki Productions. Whether or not he was necessarily correct on this, I'm making the bet that Yura's "best drinking buddy" Miki-san is connected to Frill professionally, and goaded Frill into pushing Ruby into the spotlight.

Some speculators say this might have been Aqua's ploy, but I I think this was incorrect. Aqua agreed with Kaburagi that money comes first and Frill was a more reasonable choice commercially. He even said that Gotanda should "grow up" and not choose Ruby just because of his artistic integrity.

Apart from the friendly, casual tone of the text message that really sounds like the "Miki-san" persona and the image of decanted whiskey as his profile picture, I think Kamiki is actually praying for Ruby's success as a star.

In fact, I think people misunderstood why he killed Katayose Yura. He didn't kill Yura because his serial killer MO was simply because he liked killing up and coming megastars who shone brightly. He killed Yura because:

(a) He hates Stars who lie, who sell a persona to their fans that is vastly different from who they are as people, which is why he hated Himekawa Airi and Hoshino Ai.

(b) He killed Yura because he knew that the project being offered to her was the lead role in The 15-Year Lie. And simply, he wanted Ruby to play Ai's role.

In a twisted way, I think Kamiki believes he is protecting his children, and the public in general, from being lied to any further by celebrities like Yura who deceive the public with their feigned innocence.

Honestly? I think the reason he killed their mothers was to protect them from growing up with mothers who lie and abuse their kids.

3. Kana might play Hoshino Ai in The 15-Year Lie.

Okay, okay, okay, okay. I know. I know. Unhinged fan theory. I get it.

Even AquaKana stans think this is majorly unlikely to happen. I agree in that, I think it's insane. But I keep coming back to what Aqua meant when he said that, "Kana is so easy to manipulate", and "It's more convenient for me to build a good relationship with Arima right now."

People tend to say, he's making silly convoluted excuses again, he just wants to spend more time with her. But I think a man who is resolute in his goal to off himself by proxy of martyrdom doesn't care to date the person he was protecting from a love scandal anyway.

There are a few key reasons why I think Aqua's "using" of Kana will result in her playing Ai's role.

First of all, I think Aqua's plan is to play Kamiki, to portray him in the worst possible way, and expose him as the murderer through the film. Through this, Aqua will bait his father into murdering him too, and thus Aqua's death can be used as legal grounds for charging Hikaru Kamiki with Homicide.

As established above, I think Aqua doesn't agree that Ruby is the best choice for Ai's role. There are a lot of parallelisms baked in between Kana and Ai. Apart from the shot-by-shot remake of Sign is B, Kana is also the best person to get stabbed and deliver the lines, "Some day I hoped the lies would become true. / I did my best. I worked hard. I lied with all my heart. / To me, lies are love. In my own way, I thought I was showing my love."

Besides, you saw anyone else say these same things?

Uhuh, you guessed it:

So is Kana gonna get stabbed? Hopefully in a movie, yeah.

I think it could happen as a result of Kaburagi's dissatisfaction with Ruby's performance.

Kaburagi's "finalized" casting isn't final-final yet, really. We can see that he swapped Aqua to play Kamiki instead of Himekawa who will now play Ryosuke the university student/stalker here:

Which makes sense! Aqua looks like his father, is closer to his age during the time of the events, and Taiki's age and height also better matches Ryosuke.

And even though the paper says finalized on Ruby's casting, Kaburagi's still not completely sold:

I think the swap will come as a result of Ruby being severely overworked and unable to keep up with the demands of her role, and the Dome performance that she might want to prioritize. She may even outright collapse from exhaustion, as foreshadowed by Kana:

Apart from Akasaka-sensei absolutely trolling us to death by Ai x Kamiki on-screen romance being portrayed by twins, then just outright pulling the plug on that for fun, I think it'd just make sense for Kaburagi to say it's better if we pair Aqua with Kana for this role.

Ruby doesn't even have to collapse or anything. She's so loved up with the idea of Gorou-sensei right now, Aqua could literally just tell her "this is what's best for the plan, you trust me, don't you?" And she would absolutely just go with it.

I said before that I think up until Mem-cho pointed it out, Aqua was wholly unaware that Kana had a crush on him and joined B-Komachi just because of him. I think now that he has the awareness, he'll ask Kana to do it, first to help Ruby, but also because he can only trust Kana to play this role because she is "Special" to him.

A repeat of:

It really is the only way that this scene therefore makes sense to me:

Bonus: if the Shima D masterpiece film doesn't draw Kamiki's attention to her, Kana playing the role of Ai definitely will. And if she delivers the role with so much honesty, it might change the trajectory of the story altogether.

4. Aqua's plan will backfire.

I explained a little above and in a previous post that Aqua misunderstands Kamiki's motives.

While we all like to shit on Aqua for being the World's Nicest Master Manipulator, we have to give him credit for the fact that when it's used for saving other people, he's been really effective at spinning a public narrative in his favor. Like in the cases of Akane's suicide attempt and Kana's Love Scandal.

If the goal is to get Kamiki to stab him in plain view of the public, villify his father, and make it easy to convict him for homicide once and for all, I think he will fail.

Kamiki will not kill him or go after him. In fact, I think Kamiki will shed his Miki-san persona and reveal the truth: he was Himekawa Airi's rape victim, and Hoshino Ai was a manipulative person who seduced him with the prospect of true love, then abandoned him when she got what she wanted, which was a family.

In the absence of any evidence that he had anything to do with their deaths, Kamiki might even use this momentum of propaganda to make the public believe that he's happy to finally be reunited with his children that these terrible mothers took away from him.

Heck, Taiki might hate Uehara so much that he'd be relieved to learn about Kamiki? And if he really is connected to Frill, and if Kindaichi still cares about him, there might be real people who would back him up.

Then, it won't be until Akane works with Aqua and everyone to bring the murder of Katayose Yura to light that Kamiki would actually be brought to justice.

Update: LA Ghoulette Names + Swiss Element Change

Just wanted to update the name list for future work! I’ve finally decided what I’d like to name the Ghoulettes from the Kia Forum shows! :) These are what I’ll be calling them in my own works, and what elements I’ve assigned them!

If any new tidbits or fun scenes of them emerge in the eventual movie some of this info might change. But for now I am very happy with these portrayals!

My list of all ghouls is pinned but you can find it here —> [Link]

Luna - Vocalist - Quintessence

Trained along side Aurora back in the day! All of the LA ghoulettes were hand selected and worked with Stratus and Aurora for a Papa centuries ago. Back when this particular Papa had a hold on the opera and classical music scene. Luna is very close to Aurora and Stratus! Luna is one of the most respected ghouls in the entire ministry and is often sought for advice and guidance.

Breeze - Grand Pianist - Air

Tall, elegant, and as pleasant as a summers day. Don’t let her queenly manner fool you. She’s stronger than she looks! Sometimes goes by ‘Breezy’. She was mentored by Air ages ago. She often just plays for leisure these days, but was happy to be asked to attend Papa IV’s Ritual.

Aqua - Cellist 1 - Water (Freshwater)

A refined beauty of a ghoul. A true gem in the ministry and very talented at many stringed instruments. She’s not as versed in modern music, but she has a love of all genres and instruments. Before her appearance back into public she tutors many ghouls in music and human culture. She’s an appreciator of fine art.

Marina - Cellist 2 - Water (Oceanic)

Mysterious yet playful. Like the ocean lapping at your feet on a beach. Her favorite last time is running around the halls of the ministry in her fine mourning gown, like a human princess. No one is quite sure what she does when she’s not attached to Aqua or playing music. But she is like a siren. A beautiful voice and even more talent with her element and cello.

Swiss update!!

I originally wrote Swiss as a primarily fire ghoul with water and Forrest abilities. But recently I wasn’t satisfied with that entirely, and swapped them around!!

Now he is still a mostly fire ghoul but he is also Air and Quintessence!! I think this is much more fitting for his abilities and personality! :)

SU OC: Casual Day

[Update: June 13, 2024]

The Stuart brothers with their girlfriend on their casual day

Oliver and Marina (Aqua Aura Quartz) are talk about random things while are dating. At that time, it was free time from Oliver's work.

Bradley and Patricia (Pink Agate) were talked while they were walking home together. Which was after work at Bradley's high school.

”The Graft” - Palazzo del Parco, Diano Marina (Italy). In collaborazione con Diano Marina Culture Bureau and Civiero Art Gallery. 21 Aprile 21 Maggio 2016

Con queste immagini, che non è più e definitivamente possibile descrivere semplicemente come “fotografie”, Aqua Aura riflette sulle anomalie della natura e sul concetto stesso di normalità rispetto ai dati scientifici ricavati dallo studio approfondito del mondo umano e vegetale. Se il fiore, la pianta, l’elemento naturale in sé rappresenta l’aspetto spontaneo della vita, non contaminato dalla cultura e dall’azione che da essa deriva, Aqua Aura rompe questa catena generativa inserendo elementi che ne determinano uno stravolgimento sensoriale oltre che di significato. Egli trasforma deliberatamente tutto ciò che di per sé già esiste, in una propria dimensione autonoma, aggiungendo soltanto una singola entità biologica appartenente al mondo dell’infinitamente piccolo, dai più piccoli componenti del nostro corpo, le cellule, a microorganismi, virus e batteri che all’interno di esso possono vivere o inserirsi, come subdole minacce invisibili. In alcuni casi anche piccole larve e fossili contribuiscono a modificare il flusso naturale delle cose, trovandosi inclusi in un ecosistema al quale non appartengono, ma all’interno del quale sembrano ritrovare da subito una propria nuova collocazione. L’effetto straniante è completato dalla presenza, in questi corpi e mondi, di elementi costitutivi appartenenti a realtà dimensionali anche molto diverse, a volte diametralmente opposte, che convivono a formare  sostanze e materie plausibili o realistiche in un universo parallelo che ci affascina ma al tempo stesso viviamo con una certa inquietudine. Ed è forse proprio l’azione dell’innesto, “The Graft” appunto, tra elementi e componenti tanto diversi ad infondere su ciò che osserviamo un senso profondamente attrattivo e seducente, ma allo stesso tempo di una bellezza minacciosa e preoccupante.
