Season 2, episode #2 of Oshi no Ko will be released on HIDIVE on Wednesday, July 10, 2024, at 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time (EDT), 10:00 a.m. Central Time (CDT), and 8:00 a.m. Pacific Time (PDT). For fans of Oshi no Ko in the UK, the episode will be released at 4:00 p.m. British Summer Time (BST). The release date for the dubbed version of the episode is yet to be revealed, but will likely premiere on HIDIVE at a later date.

Season 2 of Oshi no Ko is currently listed for 13 episodes, which means it will likely adapt until chapter #80 of the manga. Each episode of the anime is currently adapting around 4 chapters of the manga, which means the second half of season 2 will likely cover the Private arc as well, where the mystery surrounding Aqua and Ruby's reincarnation as well as Ai's murder will deepen even further.

What Happened In Oshi no Ko Season 2 Episode #1?

Season 2, Episode #1 of Oshi no Ko begins with an introduction to Tokyo Blade, the hit action fantasy manga within the world of Oshi no Ko which is being adapted into a stage play that Aqua, Kana, and Akane will be taking part in. Aqua takes on the role of Touki while Akane takes on the challenging role of Sayahime, both of whom are the antagonists of the play.

Kana, on the other hand, is given the role of the peppy, energetic Tsurugi, the supporting character to the protagonist Blade, who is played by Taiki Himekawa, a talented stage actor. Despite his disheveled appearance, Taiki takes everyone by surprise at rehearsals with his enigmatic acting and stage presence. Himekawa is seen immersing himself into his character and his passion literally and metaphorically hits everyone watching him in the face, inspiring them to also do their best.

Meanwhile, Akane expresses her concerns about Sayahime's character being changed and oversimplified from the manga and struggles to get into the character or feel a proper connection with the role. Akane aspires to compete with Kana on stage, while Aqua, who although present at rehearsals, is occupied with his goal of getting closer to Touhiro Kindaichi, a founding member of Lala Lai, in the hopes of finding out more about Ai from him.

Oshi no Ko Season 2 Episode #2 Will Introduce Tokyo Blade's Eccentric Author

Season 2 episode #2 of Oshi no Ko will likely delve into the character of the successful mangaka behind Tokyo Blade, Abiko Samejima. Despite her seemingly meek personality, episode #1 saw Abiko express her dislike for the script, wishing to change the entire thing and the upcoming episode will include plenty of drama as Tokyo Blade's script gets reworked and rewritten. Abiko is also expected to butt heads with the scriptwriter Goa.

Fans can expect the upcoming episode to reveal a glimpse into the entire process behind adapting a manga into a play as well a peek into the life of a manga artist, the struggles that come along with publication deadlines, and even the stressful expectations that come with the success of a manga like Tokyo Blade.

It is also left to be seen whether Aqua will be able to set aside his primary goal to actually enjoy theatre and whether he will be able to successfully adapt his acting skills to the stage to compete with Kana, Akane, and Himekawa, all of whom are giving the stage play their absolute best. Overall, season 2 episode #2 of Oshi no Ko promises to be a visual treat with plenty of thrilling drama to come.
