I have only just realized that Aqua and Rubys red and blue eyes are the two colours that make purple. Which is the colours of Ai's eyes
@No, that's wrong. it's the same sort of thing though
My personal theory about this - Ai can mean the color indigo in Japanese. Which is a mixture of cyan and magenta in CMYK printing, coinciding with Aqua and Ruby’s colors respectively.
Also you know what also red and blue, Kana and Akane hair colour
She named them Aqua and Ruby based on their eye color
@@yesthatsright.Pink is simply
Light red
Something really interesting that happens with aqua and ruby I'd that when there angry like really angry about something specially something about there and ai's past the star goes dark and spreads to both there eyes
The bright stars in their eyes collapse like a black hole
@@yeshankatende840 hole*

( spoiler) I believe the star means their talent, skills and capabilities. Aqua and ruby got one star showing that they got their mother’s genes meaning they have the the capability of becoming stars just like their mother. Also later on Akane gets two stars on her eyes when acting like Ai meaning that her giving her 100% and acting similar to Ai triggered the stars to activate. Later on ( sorry for the spoilers ) Ruby gets to stars when she starts working really really hard to achieve her goals. So yea the stars mean their talent, skills, and hard work.
Ai’s eyes Got really bright when she saw her kids dancing to her music. Again she pushed her self more to do better and her eyes got brighter

And later on there is another character who completely doesn't have any conncection to Hoshino's family but got star in her eyes.

Before the dad cut short her life too, though 😂
@@risn5478 yea I said Akane got them
I think it also means motivation/determination.
Aqua's star darkened when he became truly motivated by the fact that his father deserves ultimate punishment.
And at some point in the manga, Ruby's star also darkened and started to use her power as an idol to achieve her evil goals
Dark stars = Bad Motivation/Intentions
Light Stars = (Seemingly) Good Motivation/Intentions
@@Alexander42099he was talking about the other girl that died
The star eyes are not physically there because other characters also get the star eyes later down the story like Akane
Akane getting them makes me think it's more about ambition than deceit.
@@LittleSparklingStars I was thinking about passion at first but thought it's not the right word, you nailed the word I was looking for "ambition"
Yeah but Akane notices Ai's physical stars on her eyes when she was scanning and analyzing Ai
@@rebeccaaether6541 I think you to see that scene again. She did not mention any stars.
@@neerajoshi5473 Oh my bad but either way, I thought she meant like she could see the stars in her eyes because it draws people in. I guess it's just symbolism
Actually, it is definitely a reference to Japanese Gods (even Ruby refers herself as Amaterasu when she was a baby).
In the Japanese tale, Izanagi washed his left eye in the river, he made Amaterasu (Ruby, god of sun, Left eye star)
and when he washed his right eye, he made Tsukuyomi (Aquamarine, god of the moon, right eye star).
Later, in life, they both Tsukuyomi and Amaterasu married each other (hinted like how Sarina wanted to marry doc when she got older)...
I've seen an in-depth explanation in a Japanese video, but that's the gist of it.
Is Is true foreshadowing Jesus
Are they gonna marry each other in the future🫢
@@Dough149I don't think so, because Jesus is Jesus nobody else is Jesus except for Jesus. There are three in one: the gospel, the holy Spirit, and Jesus.
@@cocostxr-is8ez uh Jesus Is an esclamation like "oh Jesus" bruh
@@Dough149 🙄 yes but I'm christian so. God is my lord, heavenly father, and savior.
Fun fact: Ai means “Love in Japanese” and it’s pronunciation Ai resembles the English word “Eye”
So, it’s an important detail, about her whole character
You looked that up
it's different
@@Twaiplayerit's pretty easy to make that connection. When you watch anime with subs, you know what "Ai" means
Well when I think about it also resembles with word "Lie" Ai has eyes which are full of lies
The thing is, Ai's name doesn't mean love. It actually doesn't mean anything, since it's written in katakana.
And I love that detail that sadly always gets overlooked by the community. To me, her name only sounding like the word for love in Japanese symbolizes her lies, how she says she loves everyone and how her fans blindly listen and believe her. It's only when you look closely, to how her smile look too calculated, to how her name is actually not what you thought it was that you see all her being is lying.
Her name sounds like love, but it doesn't mean it. It's empty, devoided of any meaning. It's a lie.
I think Aqua and Ruby having only one star eye is also a symbol of them basically having 2 lives. Identity is in big part made up of our personal experiences. They both already lived a life, but that doesn't mean the new life and identity they have is fake because they did grow up being Aqua and Ruby, nor does that mean that they sometimes are one person and sometimes the other. They are basically two people at all times.
So ai having two star eyes means that she'll get reincarnated somehow?
....I.....was always so sure everyone understood that the star shapes in their eyes were clearly for the reader/viewer only. It's a symbol of their secrets, their power, their furious passion, and the connection between parent and children.
The first time I heard someone say "Well, they see their eyes, right? They have to know" and the such, I was bewildered. Real people whose pupils/irises had such a freakish shape would be famous around the world from birth. :/
i never put that much thought into it, but i remember going: wait but their eyes nobody notices them?
samee I always thought it was obvious since the stars correspond with their emotions/actions/etc 😭 media literacy y’all!
Well people with bright red or purple eyes would be as well, so even the devil's advocate in me that considers the stars being diegetic does so on the assumption that other people in this universe might occasionally have other weird eye quirks, which are sometimes genetic and sometimes only manifest in one eye, so people don't bat an...well you know, as if it was just an uncommon birthmark.
The fact that they CHANGE color with mood/tone and fully appeared on Akane after she didn't have any before was where I felt was too far for them to be something the other characters can see but don't notice, so I came to the same conclusion as you, I just don't think all anime abide by the same line of what eye or hair features are "obviously" unnatural or stylistic and which are "obviously" just normal. It's worth taking a moment to consider both and which possibility actually fits the individual story and world better.
No one in this comment section is very bright apparently.
I just wonder if Ruby and Aqua actually share the fact, who they were in their previous life and that they knew each other very well. Hope the Manga gets a full adaptation !!! The show is sooo good

SPOILERS
They don’t know about each other’s past lives at the point current manga is.
@@rugveddharankar5992 manga speculation (don’t read if you’re not caught up or you risk getting spoiled)
i think they’ll find out near the end of the series. aqua is probably gonna destroy hikaru kamiki with the play and is going to end up destroying his own life in the process prolly why akane wants to stop him, but maybe then ruby gonna find out? idk but we’ll see i can’t wait
i wish there was a light novel so i can read ahead and find out what’s going on, the suspense is killing me
edit: I was kinda correct except it was ruby basically going to destroy her life by going through the path of revenge, but damn chapter 122 was so good wow
@@mememaster1655 yeah prolly that’s what would happen but can’t say for sure. And the suspense is fr killing me. I couldn’t wait to read manga after anime’s 5th episode(cuz that’s how many episodes were out when i started) and finished the manga same day.
@@rugveddharankar5992 DUDE SAME, it was the 6th episode for me because i started watching a few days back. spoiler below for anyone else reading
holy shit they got us good with sarina’s mom pulling up in the studio. i wonder if ruby gon duck her up or play it cool but i wanna find out frfr
You got the intent on the stars being a cue for the audience, and not actually on their eyes. However, the white stars don't indicate "deceit."
This theme/device is like a play on the concept of yin & yang. They turn dark when the character in question is leaning towards realism/pessimism/negativity. When they are white- they are in a neutral-positive state. When they are shining in their color/brightly, more so with the "galaxy eyes", the character is being their "true self"- they are the most "raw/honest" in that state.
Like say, when Ai is on stage performing, her eyes shine the brightest, not because she is lying to her audience, but because she is living out her desire to try to love others by entertaining them- which is the only kind of "love" she has ever learned throughout her dysfunctional development.
Yes, she may be "technically" lying to her audience, since it is all a performance- but that performance IS her most sincere form of giving love. It's all she's ever learned- but she DOES WANT to love others. That is why her eyes shone bright when the manager saw through her facade during her scouting interview. It's also why it was shining most furiously when she saw her babies dancing- and the online commenter rightly saw that that was Ai's most genuine smile to date.
The shining star galaxy eyes are indicative of the character beaming with shining sincerity. And when they are black- it is a clouded realist façade. Edit: think, Haikyuu's Hinata vs Tsukishima
@No, that's wrong. ofc, beacuse what I said is a subjective interpretation of a plot device that is symbolic in nature, and not necessarily a claim on what it actually is within the oshinoko universe. It's sad I have to explicitly explain that it's just my opinion- that's the internet ofc.
Discussing further than this would be spoilers- yes I have read the manga, and I still think my view on it fits.
Someone haven't read the manga.
@No, that's wrong. I'm not trying to be "correct". As I replied, "ofc" - meaning I agree with you saying I am not technically "correct" in terms of the explicit definition of the stars in the series. People can go ahead and read the manga for that.
I merely shared an interpretation of the symbolism of the said plot device (to someone who is anime only).
You are free to think in shounen anime terms and be anal about the details. I merely expressed that in my opinion, the symbolism fits, and that I stand by that opinion. I don't need to be correct for that.
@No, that's wrong. Plus, there's still debate to be had from a philosophical standpoint about the nature of the stars- even if you saw the "proof" from the manga about the stars, whether black or white. Say, even what Ai says about herself can conflict with what we have seen with Ruby or Aqua. So in that case- the stars could mean different things for different people- and there would be no one definition for all of them.
Even if someone says "I am lying to you" you still have to make out whether they really are lying to you, or not. Or if someone says, "this is the true me" you still have to question whether they are really telling the truth- or if they even have a correct grasp of how they actually behave.
I think each one only has one because theyre both splits of AI. Ruby has pinky red, aqua has blue, add those together you get purple- Ai's eye color. Add their stars together you get 2 stars. I think its like that.
That's what I thought originally too, but it gets complicated later on since... (spoiler)
...both Ruby and Aqua end up with 2 stars later on, both black, so it makes you wonder how they got the extra star.
@@abckidscroblox i had multiple theories, but after reading what you said, two remain:
- they're getting closer to the truth about ai
- their eyes are also their connection to each other (as reincarnations, ai's children, intentions, etc) but on the opposite side, so when their goals align, they kind of sync and both get one black star in the other eye
does that even make sense
@@SkyBeats-1721 Those are good theories, although (another minor spoiler)
Aqua actually lost his only star when he loses his goal of revenge for a while, so while it’s possible that Ruby and Aqua’s stars are synced somehow, it doesn’t make sense in this case since Aqua had no stars while Ruby still had one.
I do like your idea that they are getting closer to the truth of Ai, but then again, other characters unrelated to Ai are able to have stars in their eyes so that wouldn’t really work either.
@@abckidscroblox i already read that, i guess i just forgot. and yeah, these theories seemed off even to me, but i know why now
thanks!
@@SkyBeats-1721 Yup, no problem 👍👍
🎉NO SPOILER🎉
(I will only use events that are already animated as examples)
I'm a manga reader, but for me I think that the stars in their eyes represents a goal that they desire. As you can see in the 1st episode, ai looked quite gloomy before she was an idol, but while being scouted by the ceo, as he said there are many forms of love, including lying, ai's eyes brighten up hoping to actually experience real love through this journey. And I think that's her goal, since while dying, she told ruby and aqua she loved them and it definately isn't a lie, and later the stars in her eyes disappeared and it would also align with the opening song's lyrics. The stars disappearing is'nt her soul leaving, but fullfilling her deepest desire. ( maybe after a few more episode or in another season you guys will know why I said this 😊😅❤)

Another example is aqua thinking that their father (his target for revenge) is dead, so he has no reason to do that revenge anymore. The stars in his eyes disappeared completely and started to even think what should he do now. Meaning aqua's sole goal is revenge.
Although the stars in ruby's eyes never disappeared, when she saw dr. Goru's(?) body and came to the conclusion that ai and goru's killer were the same, the stars became black like aqua's, but in both of her eyes, maybe because she wants revenge for ai and goru. One for each. And also, unlike aqua's, ruby's star eyes after that never became white ever since.😢
When I first saw some clips and spoilers from the anime I thought Ai was an actual star, like, a star that fell from the sky and lived as a human idol (because of the scene in the hospital's roof where she's right below a bright star.) And was killed because she was not from this world or something like that.
AI's final moments also reflects that the lyrics in the end of the full version of idol, the opening theme, perfectly matching up with her hugging her children from behind saying I love you, but disappearedcwhen they turned around
The eyes changed based on their emotions. Which is easy to assess. The only people that can see the stars are the readers. I think the characters in the show “see” them but it is more related to seeing the brightness of the person or how sometimes a person can sometimes “glow” at certain times.
When I first saw the stars and how they changed color I figure it was visual way to show us the audience how the characters are feeling...I mean think about it if other characters could see the Star eyes (like Doma's rainbow eyes from Demon Slayer) than when characters talked about how great Ai the Idol is they likely would mentioned her Star Eyes after all it's not like she was trying to hide them or they were just Special Designed Color Eye Contacts.
In one of the scenes in episode 1 ai was holding the star sand gift while pointing at the star in her eye
Some people say the eyes are inherited, but one thing I don't understand is that why Ruby and Aqua wouldn't have two star eyes if that was the case. WARNING! MANGA SPOILERS AHEAD! PLEASE DO NOT READ IF YOU DO NOT WISH TO BE SPOILED!
Hikaru Kamiki, the father, also has star eyes, meaning Ruby and Aqua would've gotten stars in both eyes. Because, star eyes are recessive traits, the table would be YY*YY (With Y representing recessive and X representing dominant) meaning that no matter what, both eyes of Ruby and Aqua would be stars.
My personal theory is that the stars represent their intentions. Aqua, for example, had pure eyes at the start, and after Ai's death, his eyes turned black due to him seeking revenge. Ruby, had pure eyes until late in the manga, where due to her discovering Goro's dead body, she now wants to seek revenge on the killer of Ai and Goro. Now, after Aqua ran a DNA test and found that Himekawa was his half brother, he knew that they had the same father. But Himekawa thought that his biological father was dead (Kamiki wasn't) and threw Aqua off, making Aqua lose his motive and thus, the stars in his eyes disappear. Now, I believe that the reason Ruby gained stars in both eyes is because she inherited the other side of the will, revenge, because Aqua gave it up. Now I am probably wrong on the Ruby gaining both stars because Aqua does go on to gain stars in both eyes just due to revenge.
Thank you for the spoiler warning! Some people don't put spoiler warnings so i truly respect you for putting spoiler warning.
@@shumika_real Your welcome
Most spoilers for me makes me even more eager to continue the story
I think that why aqua and rubys eyes only have one star is that unlike ai, who is kind of living a full lie, aqua and ruby is only living half a lie by lying about having a past life and lying about being ai’s kids etc.
Love your content man! Thanks for focusing in this incredible series!😊😊❤❤
The Stars represent Life
Case in point when Ai dies her Stars in her eyes fade
Ruby and Aqua only have Half the Life of their original past life along with their memories
Nice observation, but it wouldn't work because that means everyone living would have star eyes.
Incredible Analizis as always man! You're truly one of the best anime youtubers!
The whole star eyes thing is actually their true feelings inside their souls.
Now we just need an analysis of the OP and ED 😉 Just remember, the ED is much underrated IMO
BTW: The No in the Oshi No Ko looks like there eyes - Looking at you like "ready for another lie?! 😁"
wait what… 推しの子… uhh, I guess?
As I have mentioned to people even as a little girl was one of my favorite Quotes "The eyes are the gateway to ones soul." as someone who embodies this as the only way to figure out what I'm truly feeling/thinking at any given moment I can say with up most certainty the star eyes are something that may, in fact, will be unique to the individual (ones true self/soul) not just the same premise for everyone who may end up with them.
Loved this video analysis 414! The starry eyes are captivating!
For me the star in there eyes represents how good they are at lying or convincing everyone, a lie that is convincingly real enough to be real. While the dark stars represents there dark thoughts and negative emotion like what happened to aqua and ai.
( Spoiler )
Ruby eventually receive both of her dark eyes due to knowing the death of Goro(aqua past life) and ai also knowing that there death was intented and not a coincidence. After this ruby was in despair and wants to take revenge to the person that killed both Goro and ai.
Also those that have the stars shines more than other like Akane.
I agree.

When Ruby got dark stars in both her eyes, Aqua's star in his left eye disappeared. This happened after Aqua learned that their "father" had already "died" and that gave him the freedom to live with no lies and give up on his "revenge." This was exactly the same instance with Ai when she said "I love you" to her children with NO LIES. For a second, the stars disappeared in Ai's eyes before she died, indicating that she died free from her lies. Just like what the video stated,
Fast forward....
Aqua's stars, eventually returned to both of his eyes, but this time, it was dangerously dark.
I always thought that the star eyes mean how good you are at convincing others of a lie
Spoilers for the manga btw
Like Akane got them when she was pretending to be Ai and she was damn convincing. Then Ruby got them when she started going down the manipulative lie. Aqua lost his for a while cause he no longer needed to lie to get away with things
Though I guess this doesn't prove much since Miki has the stars whenever they want to look cool for no ^^'
It is worth noting that, while the star-eyes are not visible to the characters in-universe, characters in-universe do _react_ to them. Their showing up in one character's eyes shows she's achieved a particular spoiler accomplishment and Aqua reacts very strongly to what they represent in that moment. When Aqua or Ruby's stars glow, people are hit by the same sort of charisma that Ai seemed to have. When Aqua's star turns dark, too, it is a clear indication of how well his emotions get across.
Stars reflect the deepest feelings of every character
When you see Akane’s star eyes. You will be shocked
Thanks for the video, I enjoyed you're opinion. You're a pretty cool content creator. I am looking forward to your video on ep 8. I can't wait for it😂
The eyes in anime are always Amazingly vool when the get light up, or trail when they are runninf its soo cool
When i think about it, the first think that pops up is the title name because it means "My star".
Took the day to read the manga after watching the show yesterday. Recommend you do it, its still ongoing but its about at chapter 119 as of writing this. Glad I did read it though. Waiting for it to fully animate is gonna keep me on edge too long with such a good story that hooked me. It hits me hard in the feels too..
As for her eyes. Nothing has been revealed in the manga yet. But just to give a slight slight spoiler. The eyes don't have anything to do with Star power or talent, etc. Like people are saying in the comments. I feel it has to do with a persons intent, good and evil. In the current anime, Aqua's eyes change color when his intent changes. Some parts in the manga reflect this for other characters too who aren't in the main cast.
Same here. Very rarely do I read the manga. But how episode 7 ended, it convinced me to read the manga and keep going to 119.
For me personally the star eye in oshi no ko is the power to influence others people, by theory is this, the one who start developed star eye is Ai which can be pass down to their child, hence why each one of their child get half power of star eyes, but in case like akane, she probably being influence by Ai star eye energy which somehow she got the star eyes.
Upon first glance and being familiar w idols and that kinda culture, I think it is how different and charismatic idols are. It’s more than how they act, how they look, how they sound.
well having read the manga, you see more examples of people "unlocking their star power", so I personally think the stars have to do with being the most brilliant, selfish, and attention-hungry person on stage. You'll see soon in the anime of an example of this, and there will be more examples to come.
Ruby has both stars but black from Chapter 79, I think you are right about the emotion theory😭😭
internet clips about it: very happy
the actual anime: 💀😭
"The brightest stars burn the fastest"
7:46 nice i definitely agree. I was scared she wasnt going to say it or mean it
Ai looks like twilight sparkle form my little pony 😂
They each have one sharingan (except Ai who has two) which is the white star in their eyes that gives them genjutsu like powers like how Ai can decive her audience in order to keep them attracted to her, and how Aqua can read the minds of his directors, but when they awaken a strong desire to kill, they awaken mangakyo sharingan in both eyes which are the black stars which have unknown abilities but are known to cause the user to emit a dark aura. So far it has manifested in both Aqua and Ruby. One can also awaken a temporary version of the sharingan by closely imitating those that permanently possess one like how akane awakened hers by imitating Ai, but it cannot evolve in to a mangakyo and can only replicate the abilities of the user that is being imitated. They do not possess any of thier own abilities. From what we know so far the eyes decended from Amaterasu the Japanese sun god who also caused sarina and goro to reincarnate as Ai's children.
what
The manga later on has showed that ruby also has 2 star eyes later on.but I don’t wanna spoil too much so that’s all I’ll say and also aqua’s star disappear somewhere in the future 👀
3:10 yes as far as we know the stars are only visual to the viewers eyes. And the other thing you said: “if other people could see the stars in aqua and ruby’s eyes, then other people would know their her children” wel no, you see, other characters are going to get stars in their eyes too. I think that I saw Akane in the manga gaining them first other then the 3 Hoshino’s if i’m not mistaken
I would probably say the Star eyes mean the character ambition and drive, when the character drive come from good place the star is white and when it comes from dark place the star is black (like when Aqua thinking about taking revenge or the reality of entertainment industry or teaching people a lesson his eyes are dark but when he help his sister or saving akane stuff that comes from good side of him his eyes are white).
Also it seems that how much ambition correlates with the star size with small one when their ambitions is low and big to going beyond boundaries when aqua in super revenge mod
I think the Eyes represent the potentional and chrisma of the person. That when bright it represents hope and chrisma. Yet when dark it represents the dark and lies that lie within. Both of the kids having it on opposite eyes represent this. As Ruby is hopeful while Aqua is on the dark path of putting on a facade and lying to get ahead and find his mother killer. That why throughout the show you see the eyes in characters that reach their potential.
Tbh ai's death is the only deatg tht made me cry in anime so far
They're beautiful.
Thought it was really even more obvious; it represents star quality. That mixture of charisma and ambition that draws people to them.
As much as this makes sense, there is one major hole in this explanation, it’s that as shown in her meeting with Ichigo, Ai had those eyes before she began to lie.
RIP🕊🕊🕊
I just realized that Ai's name was really intentional. The Hoshino eyes are a major point to the narrative...the fact they emphasize it via Ai's name (sounds like eye) is something I probably should've picked up sooner.
I'd like to mention that lithe visual input an eye get activates in the opposite side of the brain. Left brain is the more rational part, right is known as the emotional creative one. Interestingly, Aqua's Star eye is on the right. May allude to his previous adult life where he got the chance to mature (unlike Sarina whose brain was still developing). It could also allude to how he was the first twin who plotted revenge first (granted, it was motivated bc his emotions). Ruby's over there is experiencing teenage life and mentioned in the video, trying to follow Hoshino's Steps. Later she wants to plot revenge and imitates her brother.
What I'm getting at is that what side their starred eyes are on may reflect their thought process (not just intent and true emotions). The fact they have only one and its on opposing eyes likely shows that they are twins who shares a connection with Ai and with each other (past and present life) because it completes the image of Ai having two starry eyes. I did not pick up on the white and black eyes though.
I think the all the white dots and the star is just a highlight 👍
Just watched this, but one thing you didn't mention is how the blue haired girl who tried to commit death(forgot her name), had star eyes herself when she imitated Ai perfectly for Aqua
I think the star eyes means on how passionate or want to accomplish something like how Ai is passionate to love.
what exactly does hikaru want to achieve,, kill all actresses??/sarc
@@SinclairEmil maybe revenge or it's just trauma bc of the lady who did something bad about him(idk if this is true lol).
@@SinclairEmil or want to accomplish something in a dark way bc he has black star eyes

If you want the "official" answer, the sparkling eye is "The eye of deceiving". It is the ability of making people believe lies are truths. (From chapter 96)
I don't if anyone noticed but Akane can make her eyes starry-eyed. Great post
Love this show
Still didn’t watch the video but wanted to say my opinion from what I’ve seen in the manga, I think the star symbolizes thier passion or determination to achieve something.
The thing about the star in their eyes being visible only to the viewer and not to other characters, so as to cue us into a hidden or speacial meaning, reminds me of something.
Often in Japanese a word written i nkanji will have small characters, called furigana, above or next to it to show you how the word is pronounced. Japanese literature, especially manga, uses a literary technique where the word spelled by the furigana is a different word than the kanji, and it's implied that the character speaks or thinks one word but means the other word.
As an example, in one manga it had the word 仲間 (nakama), meaning companion or close friend, but the furigana said かぞく (kazoku), meaning family. The characters in the story were not related by blood and thus not technically family, but they were raised together and were so close that they think of each other as such, hence the speaker in that panel says "kazoku" when referring to "nakama".
eyes eyes Ai
in ep 1 Ai says "Idols are objects of warship, you know?
They sparkle though the magic of lies" i suspect that is the meaning
I hope you get to read the latest Manga release! 🍿
I definitely recommend reading the manga as well. This anime is incredible.
Tobirama: *Those damn Uchihas…..*
I saw another video about the starie eyes and, although your answer is interesting, they explained it as a form of star power. They did inheret their star power from AI and when it turns black, it's a sign of corruption, as the star collapses and turns into a black hole. Another interesting aspect of the stars is when AI died, the stars faded as if to symbolize the life leaving their body. The truth could be a combination of what this video says and the star power idea. Also I have read the wiki and yes, their father also has the starring eyes.
I read the manga for 8 hours straight yesterday
I have like 5 chapters left to read from the released ones, then I will have to wait
i like the idea. i defantly think there is something big relating to the stars. i still like the idea that aqua and ruby stars are reparenting what they got form their mother being the lies and truth of the entertainment world and that 1 is taking on the truth and the other is taking on the lies. mainly becuse just like you i got spoiled by 1 manga page and it got my gears turning on ideas.
I think the reason Ruby and Aqua have only one eye with a star is to show their "Child of Ai Hoshino" Side and "Sarina" , "Gorou" side
I just read the manga and saw that arima kana in the ch.63 had many stars and since her eyes are always more higlighted and dark so when the stars came to her eyes its really noticeable...
I know its a not good explanation but yeah arima kana also has the staringgan
anime only, but never thought I'd imagine their dad having two black star eyes..if I'm wrong I'll be glad though, just can't imagine how dark that is.
💫so sparky star eye 💫
meanwhile :
hikaru :🌼🌹🔪💀
ive seen some of the manga panels and i cant go into detail without spoiling but what i can say is that it for the twins it indicates there desires and what their intentions are
SPOILER section
Aqua seems to lose his star once he finds out his father is dead thus getting rid of his motivations, a little bit later we figure out that their father isnt actually dead and once Ruby hears about it she gains Aquas star which is for revenge and thus Ruby has the inherited intent to kill their father.
I think that the star resembles that the left eye ruby star means hapiness and that the eye from aqua means darkness
tbh the second star activating on each twin only after a traumatic event or discovery is interesting to me
I don’t think so, the white eyes are when their are lying, the white represents happy emotions and purity. While the blacken eye represents darkness. In the anime when aqua is talking about dark topic and have dark emotions, like hate or his intentions to find his father and his hate for father. Also Ai had blacken stars when she was talking about no one to care for her and never been love. I do agree is about the potential one has as an figure in the entertainment industry.
White with sparkles represents positivity, white itself means neutral. Black and dark means negativity or if kept for a while, a reaction to something traumatic.
For my knowledge, the stars represent extraordinary talent in something. Be it acting, music, or something else.
If anyone has seen katanagiri, I'm assuming you already know the meaning behind those eyes.
Remember in nature the stars that burn the brightest are stars that have a short life span
I can confirm that in the manga that the father has the stars in both eyes and also has blond hair
1:37
I love how this is the only time in the season that Ai has dark stars in her eyes.
(Also Season Two of Oshi No Ko is confirmed in 2024!)
The star in eyes means confidence it was confirmed by Akane chan in one of the episodes when she tried to be like Ai and studied her and found out her star eyes is confidence
To my understanding, Those stars basically represent a person's "star power" or ability to be famous i think? Basically, there's a story about Marylin Monroe, who i believe mentioned that she could turn her "star power" on and off at will. With her star power off, she could walk down a street and no one would notice her. But when she turned her "star power" on, basically instantly everyone around her noticed her and turned to look at her. She apparently showed it off to someone, i think a producer or something. This story i feel is the source of the star eyes.
Ai having two star eyes, basically show she has peak star power. While her kids only having one represent only inherited part of her star power. And whether the stars are bright or dark represents what is the source of that star power? Either a pure emotion or dark ones.
But dang her eyes when she died gives me the creeps...really...😱
Same
I dont believe that Ai's lover has star eyes.
If he did, i expect both Aqua's and Ruby's eyes to be both stars.
Probably a indication of being related would be the blonde hair. But who knows? Maybe Ai was blonde too, her hair is purple afterall.
Purple is not a natural hair color.
(Dont spoil me, im a anime only.)
I would say that stars are their passion
Without spoiling much and being up to date with the manga
IMO the eyes show the characters drive/having a goal + if its positive or negative(dark glow)
Later in the series another character will show this characteristic of the eye glow but it doesn't have a star shape
@414Anime - The literal translation of the series title is "My Star".
That's not the literal translation tho
The stars make me think about Izanagi from the shintoïsme religion.
its said that when he washed his wound in the river , from his right eye came out Tsukuyomi and his left Amaterasu.
Tsukuyomi the divinity of the moon : Aqua
Amaterasu the divinity of the sun : Ruby
Amaterasu is mentioned in the manga , the first time when ruby make his babysiter think he is ofc Amaterasu and the 2nd one when they get back to their native city to make a clip.
I couldn't even tell if you said "Ai" or "eye" when I wasn't paying enough attention... lmao...
Ai's eyes sets "Eye" apart
When aqua wears a jacket he looks like his father for some reason
Basically it's the zone in Akaverse.
Morning Star = Lucifer = Prince of Lies.
i thought the father is the stalker, and was full confused when watchng the anime untill i saw oshi no ko videos
all the budget of the anime went into the eyes, case closed
The star eyes become much more clear in the manga. There's a pretty concrete in the text explanation for what the eyes mean and what causes them. You see others with them outside of Akane later. (spoilers -----------)

An effective front, from an actor or entertainer are signified in the eye, using your lying and deceptive ability for something bad will usually turn the stars black and they get whiter and brighter the more of the lying ability is being used for something more positive. Also the one eye has nothing to do with them just being her children. (more spoilers, bigger ones) further in the manga when Ruby becomes more aware of her mother's fate (and Goro's) she awakens a second permanent eye. Aqua, as of chapter 100, has not awakened a second one.
There's other evidence in the show. Kana has multiple star eyes when she acts with all her ability, but they're actual stars and not stars that are huge and bright. The stars we see in Aqua, Akane, Ai, and Ruby aren't "stars" they're the "the morning star". Literally a planet masquerading as a star. This is evidenced by the fact that Kana acts with just as much, if not more ability than Aqua or Akane at times, but she never has the morning star. I think this is largely due to the fact that even when Kana lies and tries to be deceptive she's ineffective at her, despite her acting ability.
This is already stated in the story. It's not a mirror to the soul or anything. The star represents that the character is giving a perfect lie. It is black or white will depend on whether it is used for bad, or good causes. It is also not something special, and it is only shown to the viewer. Normal people can't see it, but some elites who use to work with actors can detect it with their experience. It's also not just a connection to Ai, because there are lots of people having those eyes in the story, and you can even acquire it if you make your lies good enough. Also, Ruby and Aqua only has 1 eye at the start because they acted as babies when they are actually reincarnations.
TLDR: it's just a visual cue to show that the character is "lying" or "acting" in a perfect way that other characters in the story will never doubt.
Thanks for this comment man
Excluding their dad only one person gets star eyes which is akane only when she imitates ai tho
Me too
I also think that they're father has stary eyes like them
