The Oshi no Ko fandom has been experiencing some rough times since Chapter 143 of the manga was released. Ruby and Aqua kissed, and it started a huge wave of disgusted outrage with people calling it incest on various social media.
Can they even be considered siblings?
Despite the fact that Aqua and Ruby grew up together as twins, we can’t ignore the fact that they both have their past memories. Aqua knows he’s actually Gorou, and Ruby knows she’s Sarina.
Yes, they might have treated each other like siblings, but when they learned their true identities, everything changed. Sarina loved Gorou in her previous life, and it’s obvious that such a huge reveal would change the way Ruby perceives Aqua. She’s not in love with her brother, she’s in love with the doctor who became so close to her.
On top of that, Ruby never tried to express her feelings and make a move on Aqua before the big reveal, it only started when she found out he was not actually her brother, which is why so many fans think it’s wrong to call this couple incest.
It’s less problematic than you think
Of course, it’s understandable why there are still so many fans who find the relationship between Ruby and Aqua problematic, but some readers feel that it was never intended to be this way. It wasn’t added to the story to give it an edgy incest twist, but to explore the trauma of these characters.
Fans believe that the kiss between Ruby and Aqua was not in the story to hint at a possible romantic development, but to show how precious these two people are to each other.
Gorou was never in love with Sarina, but she became like family to him, he truly cared for the girl. And now he’s given the second chance to take care of her, and that’s amazing.
A number of manga readers don’t see it as the beginning of a love story, they just think it’s the first step in dealing with whatever is going on between Ruby and Aqua. They’re a bit irritated by the lack of Aqua expressing his emotions properly, but they feel that it’s coming.
The idea is that Aqua and Rudy won’t end up getting together romantically, but they will talk about their situation and find a way to move on and care about each other platonically. And the kiss is just a way to help them get there sooner.
Do you think there will be a romantic development between Aqua and Ruby?
Let us all calm down for a second.
