Chapter 129 of Oshi no Ko is set to release on Thursday, October 19, at 12 am JST. With the cast members already trying on their costumes, fans are eagerly anticipating the next chapter. The manga will be available to read on Shueisha's MANGA Plus app.
In the previous chapter, the cast members of "15-Year Lie" gathered for a script reading. It was during this reading that the Crow Girl revealed she would be playing the roles of young Aqua and Ruby. Following the script reading, the cast members tried on their costumes, and as expected, Ruby looked strikingly similar to her mother, Ai.

Oshi no Ko chapter 129: Major spoilers to expect
1) The male cast may notice Ruby's resemblance to Ai

In Oshi no Ko chapter 129, the male characters prepare themselves to witness Ruby Hoshino dressed as her mother, Ai. The striking resemblance between the two is likely to have a profound impact on everyone, especially Aqua. As Aqua previously had affections for Ai Hoshino (as Gorou Amamiya) and Ruby (as Sarina), he finds himself in a complicated situation. The sight of Ruby impersonating his idol may leave Aqua unable to speak, pushing him to choose between his romantic interest in Ai Hoshino or Sarina Tendouji.
2) Aqua may reveal his Hikaru Kamiki look in Oshi no Ko chapter 129

Ruby's Ai Hoshino look was unveiled in the previous chapter, and now the upcoming chapter may reveal Aqua's Hikaru Kamiki look. Given their striking resemblance, it is inevitable that someone will notice the similarity between the two. With Akane Kurokawa being the one who identified Aqua's father, she could be genuinely shocked by the uncanny resemblance between Aqua and Hikaru.
Interestingly, Aqua himself may not react positively to this revelation. As he has been diligently searching for the person responsible for his mother's death, the fact that he now resembles Hikaru may evoke mixed emotions within him. Despite this, Aqua's unwavering determination is likely to propel him forward.
3) Oshi no Ko chapter 129 may see the filming begin

After completing the script reading and costume fitting, the filming of "15-Year Lie" is set to commence, giving fans a chance to witness Tsukuyomi's dynamic interactions with her fellow actors. It is anticipated that Aqua and Ruby may face challenges as they revisit their past moments with their mother while shooting. However, it remains uncertain whether Oshi no Ko chapter 129 will showcase the filming process or utilize a filler chapter to bypass it entirely. Nonetheless, the likelihood of the latter is minimal.
Final thoughts
The announcement for the "15-Year Lie" film took place ages ago in the manga. However, the film has yet to start shooting.
The upcoming chapter of Oshi no Ko, chapter 129, could prove to be crucial for the future of the series as it delves into how the manga handles the filming, showcasing its efforts to expand the story.
