I literally had goosebumps on the last scene. This episode was PEAK Oshi no Ko, and that was the best anime scene of all time. I love how Aqua downplays his heroism, but he's a softie underneath all the trauma. Aqua best boi, Akane best girl!!!

That performance at the end... wow. Akane is a total powerhouse. Watching her study Ai’s personality to the point where she actually becomes her was hauntingly beautiful. The psychological aspect of this show is just on another level. I’m speechless.

The give and take between the cast and Akane is really heartwarming. Akane somehow gave the same vibe as Aqua while studying for the role. This episode makes you realize that while they're pros, they are still in their teenage years..

Episode Context

[Oshi no Ko] hits a nerve with "Buzz," an episode that turns the lens squarely on the machinery of public perception. Sitting past the midpoint of the season, this installment carries a heavy, introspective weight as it examines how online narratives can spiral beyond anyone's control. Aqua and Akane are at the center of the tension, each grappling with the emotional fallout of fame and scrutiny in ways that feel uncomfortably real. The drama here is sharp and character-driven rather than action-oriented, expect strategic maneuvering layered over raw vulnerability. The pacing is deliberate, allowing moments of psychological intensity to breathe alongside calculated moves within the entertainment world. It's the kind of episode that makes you think about how thin the line is between a curated image and a real person. Doga Kobo delivers the emotional gravity with precision.
