From Scandal to Triumphant Return! Kana Arima's Powerful Cry After Breaking Free Receives a Storm of Praise: "As Expected of Juso-chan" and "That Was Exhilarating" - Anime "Oshi No Ko" Episode 30

In Episode 30 of the anime "Oshi No Ko" that aired on February 18th (currently airing sequentially), Kana Arima (CV: Megumi Han) finds herself in a major crisis when a weekly magazine reporter photographs her entering an apartment with a man... Though Kana was deeply depressed at first, her ability to pick herself back up on her own was depicted in an exhilarating manner, capturing viewers' hearts with comments like "She's incredibly cool" and "This is the real Kana Arima."

Kana was photographed by a reporter entering an apartment with film director Masanori Shima (CV: Seiichiro Yamashita). Although nothing like what the reporter imagined had actually occurred, in Episode 30 "Idols and Romance," when the reporter ambushed her, Kana panicked and fled. As the voices of fans' abuse echoed in her head, combined with her recent struggles with idol work, Kana crouched down alone and began to cry. Then she called out Aqua's (CV: Takeo Otsuka) name, saying "Help me. Help me, Aqua."

However, Kana quickly wiped away her tears, saying "What did I just say? Am I trying to cling to a man only when I'm struggling?" "That's honestly gross of me," and showed a defiant expression. Then, as if shaking off everything, she let out a cry and powerfully recovered on her own, declaring "I'll let someone else handle being the innocent type... No matter what happens, no matter how things turn out, I'll survive this entertainment industry as myself!"

The internet erupted with excitement over Kana's refusal to be defeated by scandal, with comments like "As expected of Juso-chan," "She's incredibly cool!" and "This is the real Kana Arima." The performance by voice actress Megumi Han, who plays Kana, was also highly praised with comments such as "That performance was exhilarating" and "Megumi Han's acting is absolutely divine."
