    This Hikaru, so far, is not making any sense. A very superficial, easy to hate villain. I would praise for some more depth down the next episodes

    I was surprised by the lack of Kana’s suffering in this episode just as much as Kana was. She even had a chitchat with Aqua and smiled a little! Now, try not to get cast as a replacement for the just killed actress, Kana. That’s just more suffering!

    Easiest cast prediction for the movie: Hoshino Aquamarine as the mastermind / villain / totally-not-Kamisaki-Hikaru.

    For Hoshino Ai’s role, now that the original lead is gone, and assuming they are unable to find a suitable outside replacement, it would then have to fall on the existing cast - most likely one of the girls from the main trio: Ruby, Kana and Akane.

    Kana and Akane may have the star power, but there’s probably a huge demand for Ruby to take up the role - despite the lack of experience - thanks to her background.

    Frill may be the biggest name in-universe, but I don’t see the role going to a side character of the Oshi no Ko anime.

    If I have to rank them on their likelihood of getting cast as Ai:

    1. Ruby - is basically Ai junior
    2. Akane - has proven herself (to us viewers at least) with her Ai impressions + star eyes
    3. Kana - has the most filming / TV experience among the trio

    Regarding Aqua’s revenge plan:

    I’m guessing it’s something very simple: ruin Hikaru’s reputation bit by bit, slowly choking him out.

    Edit: one more guess, regarding why Yusa?, the original lead, was done in by Hikaru:

    The script for the movie has been revised by Aqua to include bits that hint towards Hikaru as Ai’s real killer. Yusa has those star eyes, and we have seen just how clever these star-eyed characters are. Yusa must have read the script for her role, put the pieces together, and was able induce (or at least had suspicion) that Hikaru is the big bad. Naturally, Hikaru isn’t going to sit around doing nothing, and got around to silencing Yusa.
