In Oshi no Ko chapter 135, titled By Her Side, Aqua confronted Gotanda about Ai. When Ruby inquired whether Ai cried when faced with hardships, Aqua was puzzled. Nonetheless, he was confident that his mother never shed tears. As for Gotanda, he was clueless about the matter but was determined to portray Ruby in the best possible light to convey Ai's story. Despite the challenges that lay ahead for Ruby, Gotanda was certain that she would be alright because Kana was by her side.
However, the dynamic between Ruby and Kana has deteriorated over time, causing both Aqua and Gotanda to doubt the strength of their friendship. Nevertheless, Aqua remained confident that the filming would proceed smoothly, as both actresses were exceptionally talented in their craft.

Expect to see Ruby and Kana stepping into their roles as Ai and Nino in Oshi no Ko chapter 136. The upcoming scene will involve Nino criticizing Ai for being part of the B-Komachi idol group. Given the strained relationship between Ruby and Kana, there's a real possibility that this scene could irreparably damage their friendship.
Therefore, the upcoming chapter could make or break Ruby and Kana's friendship. However, this may entirely depend on Kana Arima and how she deals with Ruby.
Editor's P/S
As a Gen Z fan of Oshi no Ko, I am eagerly anticipating the release of chapter 136. The series has consistently delivered thrilling developments and intriguing plotlines, and I can't wait to see what's in store for Ruby, Kana, and the rest of the cast. The dynamic between Ruby and Kana has been a central focus of the recent chapters, and I'm curious to see how their friendship will evolve amidst the challenges they face.
The upcoming scene, where Nino criticizes Ai for being part of the B-Komachi idol group, has the potential to be a pivotal moment in their relationship. If Kana Arima handles the situation poorly, it could irreparably damage their friendship. However, I believe that Kana's growth and development throughout the series suggest that she will find a way to navigate this challenge and strengthen their bond.
