I was talking to my friend about Oshi no Ko earlier and mentioned Aqua and the term “nepo baby” in the same sentence. My friend, who by the way, is an Aqua stan immediately goes, “No he’s not!!”
Like… be serious. Please. Did we read the same story?
Okay, lets look at the definition of a 'nepo baby'
"Nepo baby" is a shortened term for "nepotism baby," referring to someone whose career is similar or related to the career their parents succeeded in, often used to describe individuals who gain advantages or opportunities due to their family connections
If it sounds familiar, its because it is. That's literally the point of Episode One.
I am an Aqua stan and defender, but the entire premise of Oshi no Ko is about nepotism and inherited connections. Sarina literally says, “What if you were blessed with the connections from the start?” That’s the inciting incident! That’s the fucking plot, man! Both the Hoshino twins were born to the entertainment industry!
