According to spoilers for Oshi no Ko chapter 130, the upcoming manga chapter will be titled "Basic Tactics". It begins with Mem-Cho engaging in a live-stream session, where she excitedly shares the news of her upcoming film role with her audience. Playfully, she jests about her newfound status as an actress and bids farewell to everyone. While some fans commend her growth, others perceive her announcement as a form of bragging about her accomplishments.

Mem-Cho perceived her life as a succession of hurdles, spanning from the moment she bid farewell to high school to the point of her transformation into an idol. Although apprehensive about venturing into uncharted territory, she remained steadfast in her determination to persist.

The filming crew's environment frightened Mem-Cho, as people consistently behaved stubbornly and made demands of others. It was disclosed by one of the makeup artists that this was typical in a Kaburagi production, as Kaburagi himself was a particularly stubborn individual who would only hire those he favored.

Kana Arima expanded on this, explaining that the smoothness of the filming process greatly depended on the artist's ability to keep things running smoothly. If an actor caused a delay, there was a high likelihood that the scene would be cut unless it was absolutely necessary. Akane also made an appearance in Oshi no Ko chapter 130, expressing that actors were regarded as physical laborers. As a result, they required significant endurance and patience.

In the latest Oshi no Ko chapter 130 spoilers, the focus shifts to Mem-Cho as she shares her thoughts on a movie production.

This unfamiliar atmosphere contrasts with her accustomed routine. Nonetheless, Mem-Cho draws strength from her track record of overcoming challenges and remains confident in her ability to excel in the realm of acting.

Just then, Aqua Hoshino arrived and commended Mem-Cho for her exceptional work. Surprised to see Aqua on a day when his presence wasn't obligatory, Mem-Cho inquired about the motive behind his desire to produce the film. Aware that he sought revenge on his father, she couldn't help but feel that something was amiss. However, Aqua clarified that this notion only arose due to the edits made by Director Taishi Gotanda, Abiko Samejima, and Yoriko Kichijouji.

Mem-Cho was perplexed by Abiko and Yoriko, renowned artists in Japan, assisting Aqua. Aqua then explained that the two Mangaka were willingly offering their aid, while Abiko's assistants had also made significant progress, allowing her to take two breaks per week. Curiosity getting the better of Mem-Cho, he questioned Aqua if he too was taking advantage of her. In response, Aqua stated that he was effectively utilizing her, much to Mem-Cho's satisfaction.

In the concluding section of chapter 130 in Oshi no Ko, Aqua is depicted engaging in the act of playing Ai Hoshino's DVD, wherein she delves into the topic of Aqua and Ruby's paternal figure. Resonating through the recording, Ai's voice conveys her felicitations to Aqua on his 15th birthday, subsequently alluding to her intention of divulging his father's tale. This occurrence significantly aids Aqua in solidifying his determination to seek retribution against his own progenitor.
