Recap of Oshi no Ko chapter 119

Oshi no Ko chapter 119, titled Biological Mother, saw Aqua encountering Marina Tendouji, Sarina's mother. Sarina was his patient during his time as Doctor Gorou Amamiya. During the encounter, Aqua realized that Marina was a terrible parent. She had willingly abandoned her sick daughter when she was sick to live a happy-carefree life.

As for Ruby, she was struggling with her dialogues in the movie as they contradicted what she believed to be true. The dialogues spoke about how Ai realized that her mother did not love her. However, Ruby was led to believe that every parent deep down loved their children.

What to expect from Oshi no Ko chapter 120?

Oshi no Ko chapter 120 will most likely see Ruby Hoshino having finally mastered her difficult dialogue. As for the movie, the filming may finally begin in the next chapter as there were hints in the previous chapter. Aqua had called Gatonda for final confirmations and the filmmakers had gone out to drink. These are clear indications that the team was done with their pre-production process.

As for Aqua, it is yet to be seen how he will deal with Marina Tendouji. He will have generated hate towards her and might act on them. Meanwhile, there also lies a possibility that Ruby might see her. That could trigger her memories as Sarina, altogether ruining her performance as Ai Hoshino in the movie.
