After moving away from her supporting acting style, Kana Arima may face inner conflict as she considers her next steps in the industry.

Oshi No Ko Season 2, Episode 8 Summary
In the 8th episode of the second season of Oshi No Ko, titled “Trigger,” Kana Arima fully embraces her role in the play, understanding her position as a mediator between the performances of others. Even Taiki Himekawa acknowledges her role and suggests some improvisations for an upcoming scene.
Kana accepts, pleased by his confidence in her abilities. The episode then shifts focus to a scene with Aqua and Taiki. While Taiki’s performance is emotionally charged, Aqua contrasts this with a detached, emotionless approach. Despite Aqua’s efforts, Taiki’s superior skills dominate the scene.
When Kana joins them on stage for the improvised scene, Taiki subtly pushes her towards Aqua. This prompts Aqua to encourage Kana to abandon her cooperative style and act freely. Oshi No Ko Season 2 Episode 8 then flashes back to Kana’s early career.
The flashback shows how her mother, who never succeeded in the entertainment industry, pushed Kana into acting. Kana’s declining popularity caused her mother to behave erratically and Kana’s father even left the family.
To keep her mother happy and keep her place in the industry, Kana followed Gotanda’s advice to work with others. However, Aqua’s insistence breaks Kana out of this mold and allows her to show her true acting skills in Oshi No Ko Season 2 Episode 8.
This impresses both the audience and her fellow actors, especially Akane Kurokawa. Aqua Hoshino, on the other hand, struggles with inner conflicts. While he wants to see Kana act authentically, he also wants to outdo everyone around him.
To achieve this, Aqua adopts a new acting technique that focuses on channeling pain, as suggested by Taishi Gotanda. Aqua’s panic attacks stem from the guilt that acting makes him feel, leading Gotanda to advise him to stop finding joy in the craft in Oshi No Ko Season 2 Episode 8.
Aqua remains determined to stay in the entertainment industry, and in the play, Aqua channels his anger over Ai’s death into an attack on Taiki to avenge Princess Saya.
