A brief recap of Oshi no Ko episode 1
Oshi no Ko episode 1 presented a heart-touching story of a teenage mother who lost her life while trying to make a name in the entertainment world for herself while secretly raising her twins.
Ai Hoshino was a 16-year-old idol who got pregnant by someone from the entertainment world. To give birth, she went to a countryside hospital and met a doctor named Gorou, who turned out to be a die-heart fan of hers, but it was all because of a young girl named Sarina who introduced him to her but later died at the age of 12.
On the night of Ai's delivery, the doctor was killed by a stalker, but by some miracle, he was reincarnated as one of the babies Ai gave birth to that night. Those babies were named Aquamarine and Ruby. The doctor wasn't the only one who got reincarnated; his twin sister was the reincarnation of Sarina.
They went on to protect Ai's happiness in every possible way. Capturing hold of the entertainment world pulled the kids into it too, but one day the stalker came back and killed Ai. Oshi no Ko episode 1 concluded with Aqua realizing that their biological father was behind the murder, and he took the oath to kill him with his own hands one day.
