It is indeed the Aqua x Ruby route 💀
Other works would have done some cowardly cop-out at the last minute, revealing that they are step siblings and hence it's ok for them to get together.
This writer is too big-brained for that, and chose to
Oshi no Ko manga ending spoiler
kill one of them off instead.
I guess there are certainly fewer options when they are technically genetic twins 🗿
(But, the other girls are right there!)
Proper thoughts / discussion:
I love the Oshi no Ko formula of season finale. I love how there's closure, but there's still a hook leaving you wanting more.
I am so glad that Aqua and Ruby got to know their past lives' identities, and that Miyako got to get together with Ichigo again (though Ichigo got off too lightly IMO).
Now that this series is entering its final phases, I wonder if Memcho would get some time in the spotlight. Akane, Kana and Ruby had their turn, but not Memcho. She's pretty much relegated to being a side character these days. Feels bad if she's the only core member who got left out, and get less character development as a result. Maybe there can be an arc in which her actual age is leaked, causing another scandal?
Regarding that white-haired little girl, I'm surprised that she's an actual person and not just a spirit. I wonder why all those crows flock to her, and how she handles them. Think of all the bird shit! Also, why is she getting involved with Aqua and Ruby? She has some knowledge of what's going on - could she be a reincarnated individual too? But there are too little clues to guess at her motivations.
Anyway, peak season once again; looking forward to the next (and final?) season. I am aware of the manga ending, but I hope that the journey there won't be disappointing.
Banner nomination: Ruby sucking Aqua's juice 🥵

Edit: I only just found out myself, so: THERE'S A POST CREDIT SCENE, people! Don't miss it!
Or miss it, because there's nothing much. It looks like a tease of what's to come, or the trigger for Aqua's revenge plan.
Any guesses as to what Ai's message for Ruby is? Maybe something like "beware of guys who are {perfect description of Hikaru}"? That would be too easy though.
Done!
