Oshi no Ko season 2 episode 11, titled 'Freedom,' saw Aqua go out with Kana Arima to shop for a travel bag. Despite the outing not being a date, Aqua made sure to please Kana. Evidently, Kana was happy but was worried about Aqua's fake relationship with Akane.

The episode later saw Aqua try to end his fake relationship with Akane. During this, Akane realized that she wasn't certain about her feelings for Aqua. Later in the conversation, Aqua expressed to Akane all that he had found out about his father. However, Akane spotted an obvious flaw in the story.

The episode ended with Ruby visiting her mother's grave. Just as she was leaving the graveyard, a man was seen referring to her as his child with Ai.

Oshi no Ko season 2 episode 12 will most likely see Aqua and Akane head to Miyazaki with the B-Komachi idol group. While Akane and Aqua were on the verge of breaking up, Aqua had invited her to the Miyazaki trip. Hence, it is very likely that she will join them.

This trip could force Aqua to think deeply about who he wants to spend his future with. Aqua seemingly has feelings for Kana but is having a tough time letting go of Akane.
