Oshi No Ko Season 2 Episode 7 recap

Oshi No Ko Season 2 Episode 7, titled Sun, sees the Tokyo Blade stage play continue, beginning with Blade (Himekawa) and Tsurugi (Kana) confronting Monme (Sakuya) after his victory over Kizami (Melt).

A brief technical glitch occurs during Sakuya's dialogue, but Kana swiftly ad-libs, earning Sakuya's respect for her quick thinking. The play then introduced Aqua and Akane's characters. Akane's performance, particularly in a scene revised in the script, is highly praised by Abiko for her portrayal of emotional depth.

The next act introduces a clash between the Shinjuku and Shibuya factions, with Aqua facing Himekawa and Kana confronting Akane. Kana internally critiques Akane's powerful stage presence and questions why Akane dislikes her. Akane, determined not to lose, recalls that Kana's acting inspired her to pursue theater.

A flashback in Oshi No Ko Season 2 Episode 7 reveals Akane's admiration for Kana during childhood and her disappointment in Kana's indifferent attitude toward acting. This realization led Akane to study human psychology in an attempt to understand Kana's mindset.

At present, Akane concludes that Kana's attitude stems from a desire for validation and a fear of inadequacy. Akane rejects Kana's supportive acting style, favoring a more assertive approach. On stage, Akane's performance captivates the audience, and Kana acknowledges the challenge presented.

Although Kana initially hesitates, she decides to support Akane's performance, recognizing it benefits the play overall. Oshi No Ko Season 2 Episode 7 concludes with Aqua and Akane agreeing to help Kana reach her full potential on stage.
