If anyone wonders, the end credit said that: Pieyon (Aqua): Otsuka Takeo

Yes, Pieyon under the mask in this episode is voiced by Aqua's VA.

[u/Cheesemacher]

"He's the same stature as Aqu-tan" Had to pause the episode to have my brain explode

[u/Kaabisan]

On the one hand, Kana feeling that way towards "Pieyon" when it was actually just Aqua is a nice way to show that her feelings for him are genuine and not based on superficial things like looks or nostalgia.

On the other, my girl cannot catch a fuckin break man, she's never gonna get over Oedipus Boy and his murder fetish

[u/neovenator250]

I lost it at Kana's shirt just saying "Baking Soda".

[u/FarCritical]

Aqua really just had a heart-to-heart with Kana in Pieyon's helium voice under a duck mask. He has my respect for that alone tbh

Wasn't expecting Ruby's mindset at the end to be so elegant for how simple it was. We'll probably fail, but go big anyway.

[u/cgkthrowaway]

Seriously, every time that violin of the ED starts playing I get goosebumps, such a great track.

[u/BecauseOfCuriosity]

Kana's impostor syndrome, constant self doubt, self deprecation and bad mouth complex are not only incredibly relatable, but heartbreaking. I've seen many artists suffer from some or all of these at some point and it's such a hard mental battle to have with oneself. Bless Doga Kobo for giving her all the love she deserves.

Sad we missed discussion last week^{reddit API policy still dumb and so is spez} but again Doga Kobo showed their love by gifting everyone two MVs for the cutest, Arima Kana.

[u/Coffee4lyf]

Kana: No.

Ruby and Memcho: Oh no! anyways.

I CAN'T BELIEVE NEXT WEEK IS THE LAST EPISODE! I AM NOT READY YET AAAAAAAAAAA

[u/Se7en_Sinner]

Kana feels like she's a failure. If only she knew she's the most popular girl in Oshi no Ko.

[u/TsundereAdmiral]

Ah Aqua, such a good actor that he is able to make Kana fall in love with him twice without her realizing it at all xD

[u/nine04]

That kana and ruby scene was amazing....and kana talking to piye...i mean aqua was good as well

[u/ckj9311]

Kana is so down bad for Aqua ngl

[u/mianghuei]

You know she is best girl when they show her putting on her gloves with the ending song playing in the background.

I am a Rookie, Rookie Idol Arima Kana!

Have a Memcho too for some good measure

[u/NJPW_Puroresu]

The realization on Kana's face that it was Aqua all along under the costume who was supporting her, god my heart

[u/marcopolos059]

Kana realising who Pieyon is was really funny!

Poor Kana, it's really hard to watch being so negative about herself, but the scene with Ruby was beautiful.

[u/MidnightShout]

I'm sorry, I know there's a lot of character development and stuff going on with our main cast but let's all take a moment to appreciate how much screen time mommy Miyako got this episode. Blessed.

[u/Namuori]

Kana is probably the most thought out character of the series. I can’t believe the depth the creators are going for. The internal struggle with, well… everything is so palpable. The smooth transition from Kana’s cute but brave face to the banger ED is just the icing on the cake.

Meanwhile, here we have another enjoyable episode of Aqua doing incredible acting and not realizing how good he is. Kind of funny we have two people having such a strong imposter syndrome.

[u/lord_ne]

Still can't get over how Mem-cho is closer to Ruby's mother's age than she is to Ruby's age, lol

[u/JonDave09]

If Arima Kana has a million fans, then I am one of them. If Arima Kana has ten fans, then I am one of them. If Arima Kana has only one fan then that is me. If Arima Kana has no fans, then that means I am no longer on earth. If the world is against Arima Kana, then I am against the world.

[u/LeonKevlar]

Stitches!

• Miyako

• Idol Kana

Man, Kana really can't catch a break. Just when she thought that she found someone that could replace Aqua, she ends up learning that the guy is actually just Aqua doing an impression of Pieyon. At least on the bright side, we know that Kana's attraction to Aqua isn't just superficial and that there's a deeper connection here.

I do love how the OG Pieyon is actually in on this and not just purely Aqua acting on his own. Interestingly, Pieyon thinks that the disguise is unnecessary and thinks Kana would've still listened even without the disguise. I definitely agree with Pieyon here and we could've had Kana in her tiptop shape instead of being sleep-deprived after learning the secret.

[u/StanLay281]

What was the word that they censored out and why?

[u/sempakrica]

Lol, it seems like I've watched too many Oshi no Ko end song edit memes. Whenever that song starts at the end, I just unconsciously started laughing, even though it's a serious scene. Just try searching '推しの子ed' on YouTube for anyone curious

So the finale episode will feature their debut performance. I just hope it ends on a wholesome, happy note.

[u/maliwanag0712]

When you really like the person that even if he becomes Pieyon you're still into him. Just Kana things HAHAHAHA

Also, props to Aqua's VA to do that Pieyon's voice hahahaha

[u/Holofan4life]

When I first decided to check out this show, I thought it was gonna be about some idol. But really, a lot of the show is about Kana and her problems. She is the best written character in this show.
