Oshi no Ko Season 3 Episode 3 Preview Drops, Teasing Cosplay Chaos and On-Set Tensions

The third season of Oshi no Ko is moving forward, with Episode 3, titled "Compliance," set to stream next Wednesday, January 28. This installment promises to immediately pull back the curtain on the behind-the-scenes chaos of a variety show segment focusing on cosplay. The episode will be available on both Crunchyroll and HIDIVE.

Early details confirm that Ruby and the other cast members face immediate pressure due to last-minute costume adjustments during filming. Tensions escalate quickly on set when director Urushibara reportedly treats the cosplayer Meiya disrespectfully, creating significant friction among the crew. Daisuke Nishimura directed Episode 3, with Jin Tanaka handling the script.

The series continues its narrative pace following the six-month time jump established at the start of Season 3. Ruby is strategically boosting her profile on the internet TV show Dig Deep One Chance, receiving key support from Ichigo Saito, the former head of Ichigo Production.

Elsewhere, B Komachi is nearing a major career milestone, largely due to MEM-cho’s efforts. Aqua continues to diversify his entertainment career, while Akane maintains her acting success. Kana, however, appears to have lost some of the characteristic spark she once possessed. The central mystery surrounding Ai and Goro’s deaths remains the driving force behind Ruby’s actions, ensuring the show’s critique of the industry does not let up.

Studio Doga Kobo is returning to handle the animation production for the season. Chanmina provides the opening theme track, and natori handles the ending song. The core voice cast remains consistent, featuring Takeo Otsuka as Aqua, Yurie Igoma as Ruby, Megumi Han as Kana Arima, and Manaka Iwami as Akane Kurokawa.
