There is a break in the shooting before the big scene where Hikaru and Ai kiss each other. Most of the people in the production have mixed feelings about it, but the producer and Ruby are on board with the idea, so there is no stopping it.
Aqua was questioned about writing the scene in the script and his feelings about it, but in reality, he had no say in this. He isn’t thrilled about kissing his sister, so Ruby tries to change his mind. Here are the latest updates.

3. Chapter 143 Speculation
Ruby is determined to go through with the kissing scene. It seems like she is still too hung up on her past life when she fell in love with Goro as Sarina. She does not care about the ethical and social implications of kissing her own twin brother and only wants to think of him as her past love.
However, Ruby did not have a star in her eye when she suggested rehearsal of the kissing scene, so it is really Sarina’s suggestion. Aqua also has made no move to deny Ruby, nor did he deny the writers.
It is also disturbing that the production is not only on board with the idea but is also trying to convince everyone to go through with the scene. Hopefully, someone will act responsibly and put a stop to this.
Ruby can also just switch with either Kana or Akane for the kissing scene with Aqua, as they have a similar build to Ruby. Body doubles are a regular thing in the acting industry so it should not be hard to execute.
4. Chapter 142 Recap
Chapter 142 of Oshi No Ko is titled “Responsibility.” Kana is incredibly disturbed by the kissing scene in the script. As Ruby plays Ai and Aqua plays Hikaru, the twins have to kiss each other in the movie. The president and Mem-cho are also deeply conflicted.
However, Mem-cho understands why a kissing scene between an idol and her handsome twin brother would get famous. Kana is trying to understand why Ruby would agree to this but realizes that she has a severe brother complex and is actually excited.
Ruby did not need much convincing from Kaburagi, but Aqua is the one who wrote the script, which raises more questions. However, Aqua didn’t write the romantic scenes in the book but Yoriko. Aqua asked for her help to polish the script, and she got too excited about the romance.
Aqua tried his best to convince Yoriko to at least tone it down to a kiss on the cheek, but she refused to give in. As a writer, he needs to take responsibility that his words reveal the truth and consider the impact they will have on others.
Ruby brings up the kissing scene in front of Aqua and asks him to take responsibility, as it will be her first-time kissing. Aqua doesn’t feel comfortable kissing his own sister, so Ruby asks him to think of her as Sarina. However, Aqua still isn’t convinced, so Ruby offers to rehearse the scene.
