The highly anticipated finale of Oishi no Ko Season 2 has been postponed, with the new release date set for another week. Initially planned to air earlier, delays caused the season finale to be moved up by one weekend, aligning with the start of the Fall 2024 anime schedule. Fans can expect the episode to stream at 7:00 pm local time in Japan, and is expected to release around 4 am PT/7 am ET internationally.
Season 2 of Oishi no Ko has been one of the most prominent anime of Summer 2024, receiving praise for its deep dive into the reincarnated lives of Aqua and Ruby. While the season primarily followed Aqua’s journey of revenge and self-discovery, the final arc signals a major change in the direction of the story, with the potential to be explored further in the delayed finale.
what to expect in the finale
During Season 2, Aqua is on a quest to uncover the identity of her biological father, driven by a desire for vengeance. Her investigation led her to Taki Himekawa, whose DNA testing revealed that he was her half-brother. Aqua believed that her father was involved in a tragic murder-suicide, but recent revelations have forced her to reconsider her path in life. As he reevaluates his mission, Aqua faces a turning point in the final episode, where he begins to shift his focus away from revenge.
Meanwhile, Ruby’s story has taken a more emotional turn. After the release of B-Komachi’s new music video, she finds herself back in Miyazaki, the place where she and Aqua once lived before their reincarnations. Unlike Aqua, Ruby remains optimistic, striving to realize her ideal dreams despite her dark past. However, her motivations run deeper, as her real goal is to reconnect with the Doctor who was with her before his death.
In the final episode, Ruby’s search takes an unexpected turn when she discovers the remains of the doctor she longed to see again. This tragic revelation mirrors Aqua’s earlier experience, where the loss of someone close increased her need for vengeance. Now, since Ruby has suffered similar heartbreak, the finale may reveal whether she’ll follow in Aqua’s footsteps or forge a new path for herself.
The final release date of Oishi no Ko Episode 13 will be Sunday, October 6, 2024.
