Oshi no Ko chapter 136 is scheduled to be released on Thursday, January 4, 2024, but spoilers and raw scans have already surfaced online. As part of the filming for the '15-Year Lie' movie, Ruby and Kana were slated to shoot Ai and Nino's split scene, but with the cast members' strained relationship, there was concern about how the scene would unfold.
In the previous chapter, Aqua and Gotanda discussed whether Ai had ever cried during her time in B-Komachi. Aqua was of the belief that Ai was a resilient person, while Gotanda was unsure and lacked evidence to form an opinion. Nevertheless, he was determined to capture Ai's true emotions for the film.

Spoilers for Oshi no Ko chapter 136 reveal that the upcoming chapter will be titled "Noisy." The manga is expected to kick off with a crucial scene featuring Ruby and Kana as Ai and Nino.
It was stated that Nino had become a member of B-Komachi before Ai. As a result, she was the one responsible for B-Komachi's initial popularity. However, when Ai joined the idol group, fans immediately shifted their allegiance to her. In reality, Ai was the only member with a dedicated fanbase, while the others were there to support her.

As a result, Kana Arima and Nino had a confrontation with Ruby Hoshino. Kana expressed resentment at wanting to be born like Ai, and Ai expressed the same desire to be like Nino. However, Nino quickly stopped her, explaining her true feelings. She was certain that fans found Ai more attractive and would always choose her over Nino. Nevertheless, Ai did not share the same sentiment.
Chapter 136 of Oshi no Ko then revealed Kana's perspective as she understood Nino's feelings towards Ai. Just like Ai, Ruby was talented and attractive, drawing attention to herself. Kana admired Ruby and wanted to be friends with her, but also felt resentment towards her. This internal conflict mirrored the real Nino's feelings, as she simultaneously loved and hated Ai.
Following that, Oshi no Ko chapter 136 spoilers saw Kana as Nino deliver her line:
"I despise you, truly. It would be best if you were not here!" Ruby Hoshino, playing Ai, smiled at Nino, while Kana exited the room, as scripted. But as Kana left, Director Taishi Gotanda sensed something and extended the camera's filming time.
Ruby ferociously then threw an object at the door, destroying it. This shocked everyone in the room including Aqua Hoshino as it was not part of the script.
Right after, Ruby said:
“I hate it. I hate everyone. Did I do something wrong?”
While saying so, Ruby teared up with two black star eyes. This helped Gotanda realize how Ai must have felt about her time in B-Komachi.

I find it particularly intriguing that Ruby, while playing the role of Ai, deviates from the script and expresses her true emotions after hearing Kana's dialogue.
