As per the anime’s official site and the episode preview, Oshi No Ko Season 2 Episode 8 will be titled Trigger. Aqua and Akane will work together to push Kana to deliver her best performance in this episode, and it will likely feature scenes where Aqua and Kana share the stage, with Aqua seizing the opportunity to display the results of his extra rehearsals.

Kana, who chose to become a more adaptable actor to survive in the entertainment industry, may struggle as Aqua encourages her to push beyond her usual supportive style. Additionally, Aqua, who experiences panic attacks when he finds enjoyment in acting, will likely employ a unique method to cope with his challenges during the performance in Oshi No Ko Season 2 Episode 8.

Oshi No Ko Season 2 Episode 7 recap

Oshi No Ko Season 2 Episode 7, titled Sun, sees the Tokyo Blade stage play continue, beginning with Blade (Himekawa) and Tsurugi (Kana) confronting Monme (Sakuya) after his victory over Kizami (Melt).

A brief technical glitch occurs during Sakuya’s dialogue, but Kana swiftly ad-libs, earning Sakuya’s respect for her quick thinking. The play then introduced Aqua and Akane’s characters. Akane’s performance, particularly in a scene revised in the script, is highly praised by Abiko for her portrayal of emotional depth.

The next act introduces a clash between the Shinjuku and Shibuya factions, with Aqua facing Himekawa and Kana confronting Akane. Kana internally critiques Akane’s powerful stage presence and questions why Akane dislikes her. Akane, determined not to lose, recalls that Kana’s acting inspired her to pursue theater.

A flashback in Oshi No Ko Season 2 Episode 7 reveals Akane’s admiration for Kana during childhood and her disappointment in Kana’s indifferent attitude toward acting. This realization led Akane to study human psychology in an attempt to understand Kana’s mindset.

At present, Akane concludes that Kana’s attitude stems from a desire for validation and a fear of inadequacy. Akane rejects Kana’s supportive acting style, favoring a more assertive approach. On stage, Akane’s performance captivates the audience, and Kana acknowledges the challenge presented.

Although Kana initially hesitates, she decides to support Akane’s performance, recognizing it benefits the play overall. Oshi No Ko Season 2 Episode 7 concludes with Aqua and Akane agreeing to help Kana reach her full potential on stage.

OPINION: Why GOAT comedy era of Akshay Kumar from the 2000s needs to make a comeback asap

OPINION: Why GOAT comedy era of Akshay Kumar from the 2000s needs to make a comeback asap

Akshay Kumar is undoubtedly an undisputed king of comedy. His hilarious movies from the 2000s, including Hera Pheri, Garam Masala, Bhool Bhulaiyya, Phir Hera Pheri, and Welcome, are proof. The superstar has been experimenting with different genres in recent times, be it period drama Samrat Prithviraj, action-thriller Bell Bottom, science fiction action movie Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, or the thriller Mission Raniganj.

Currently, he is going through a dry spell at the box office, which seems to end soon. In the upcoming two years, after Khel Khel Mein, he has lined up several comedy entertainers, Jolly LLB 3, Welcome To The Jungle, and Housefull 5. Does that mean the GOAT comedy actor Akshay Kumar is back in business?

Khiladi Kumar wore patriotism on his sleeve in films like Airlift, Baby, Holiday, and Kesari. He inspired us through his socially relevant roles in Toilet: Ek Prem Katha and Padman. While Akshay continues experimenting with genres, the audience still gets nostalgic about his comedy classics from the 2000s era that had a unique charm to them. His comedy was natural and relatable, so to speak.

Who can forget when Akshay as Mac navigates through his adventures of dating three women in his “favorite film”, Garam Masala? With its fast-paced storyline, Akshay tickled our bones throughout the movie and added masale-daar tadka to his filmography. “Woh mere Pooja chacha hain!” Remember how he convinced Sweety of his fake uncle in the movie? Or when Raju in Phir Hera Pheri made us roll on the floor with his “25-din mein paisa double” scheme through the Laxmi Chit Fund? 

Akshay’s comedic prowess was also evident in Bhool Bhulaiyya when the actor as a psychiatrist, Dr. Aditya Shrivastav couldn’t help but ask a hilarious peeing question. “Itna susu laate kahan se ho?” Special mention to Aarush from Heyy Babyy, who takes the baby’s sh*t on his face in a scene and when he goes to buy the baby’s diapers at a store. He enacts putting a diaper on himself while explaining it to a woman. Who can forget his ‘wicked Sunny’ walk in Mujhse Shaadi Karogi? Be it absurd humor or slapstick comedy, is there anything in comic stories that Khiladi Kumar can’t do?

Akshay Kumar, who introduced himself as an action hero, was initially considered a non-comic actor. Akshay later had a ‘Safira’ moment when he switched to comedy, all thanks to Priyadarshan after the filmmaker offered him Hera Pheri. Akshay worked with Priyadarshan in several movies, and their collaboration was the highlight of Akshay’s comedy filmography.

Indian Airports, Borders On Alert As Global Mpox Cases Rise: 10 Points

Three state-run hospitals have been selected as the key facilities in Delhi to quarantine, manage and treat mpox patients. They are Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital, Safdarjung Hospital, and Lady Hardinge Hospital.
The Centre has asked all states to keep hospitals ready to handle mpox cases. These hospitals should be designated as nodal centres and the information given to the public, sources said.
PK Mishra, Principal Secretary to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, chaired a meeting on Sunday to review the country’s preparedness for mpox amid enhanced surveillance for prompt detection.
Officials said no mpox case has been reported from the country at present. According to assessment, the risk of a large outbreak with sustained transmission is low, they said.
The World Health Organisation (WHO) has declared mpox a public health emergency of international concern in view of its prevalence and spread across many parts of Africa.
“The virus strain this time is different and is more virulent and infectious. But the risk of a large outbreak with sustained transmission is low in the country as per the current assessment,” news agency PTI reported quoting an officer.
The Health Ministry has ordered officials to ensure the network of testing laboratories is ready for early diagnosis of the disease. At present, 32 laboratories in the country are equipped for testing mpox.
An earlier statement from WHO said 99,176 cases and 208 deaths have been reported due to mpox from 116 countries since 2022.
Mpox cases have been steadily increasing in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Last year, the number of reported cases around the world increased significantly. This year, the number of cases reported so far has already exceeded last year’s total, with more than 15,600 cases and 537 deaths.
Since 2022, at least 30 mpox cases have been reported from India. The last case of mpox was detected in March this year.
