This "world that can never be" struck a chord with viewers, sparking emotional reactions online such as "The 'Ai survival' what-if... it hits way too hard.""Seeing her 'back to life' is actually more painful than the alternative.""Man, I wish this was how it really happened." Oshi No Ko is based on the smash-hit manga by the powerhouse duo Aka Akasaka and Mengo Yokoyari. The franchise has expanded into live-action dramas, films, and even stage plays. The story kicks off when Goro (voiced by Kent Ito), an OB-GYN, is reincarnated as the son of his favorite idol, Ai Hoshino. After witnessing Ai’s murder, Aqua enters the entertainment industry to uncover the truth behind the incident and seek revenge. With two seasons already under its belt, Season 3 is scheduled to premiere on January 14, 2026.
