Oshi no Ko Season 3 Episode 3 proves Ruby is the scariest player in the room as the industry’s ugly truths get exposed

Finally, in Oshi no Ko Season 3 Episode 3, Ruby is on her way to becoming twisted beyond comprehension, and fans have been intrigued and on the edge of their seats. The name of the episode is Correctness, and with that, we have a conclusion of what seemed like a normal segment within entertrainment industry and cosplay. It is important to note that this installment is particularly memorable because of how it touched on uncomfortable topics.

Since this has been released, fans who have watched it have been praising because Oshi no Ko Season 3 Episode 3 also gave us a significant plot twist in the end by Aqua having major doubts about his sister. It all started by picking up on the aftermath of the Tokyo Blade cosplay theme being cancelled at the last second, which forced everyone to have a costume change.

Once again, we got to see the ugly side of the entertainment industry, because once the shoot day is fixed, then by hook or by crook, everyone in the team has to get things sorted. The emotional and mental toll that it takes on a person has been animated perfectly in Oshi no Ko Season 3 Episode 3. This is not just a minor inconvenience; it is a reminder that instability is normalized within the entertainment industry.

When “Correctness” turns into disrespect

Everything in this episode takes a turn when a cosplayer who is known for her erotic content is being interviewed. Just because of her choice of cosplay style, the director ends up asking some invasive and personal questions to her, which were clearly out of line and veering into the territory of sexual harassment.

What makes Oshi no Ko Season 3 Episode 3 stand out is its refusal to reduce the incident to a single villain. Initially, the director came out as the ultimate villain, but listening to his part of the story and also the other departments, it turns out everyone is doing their best. This could be either because no one wants to take accountability or because it was purely situational.

Another best aspect of this episode is how it tackled the NSFW industry. The anime has never turned its back on not fully committing to showing what kind of work goes behind every type of line in the entertainment industry. Including a cosplayer who does risky shoots, it took its time to remind the viewers that, regardless of what one does, it is of utmost importance that they need to be respected.

Ruby’s masterstroke and a shift in power

The climax of Oshi no Ko Season 3 Episode 3 delivers an unexpected yet deeply satisfying resolution. Ruby orchestrates a bold move: bringing the cosplayer back onto the show and forcing the director to publicly confront his mistakes, while cosplaying a Tokyo Blade character himself. It is humiliating, yes, but also strangely humanizing.

Instead of mocking him, the cosplayer calmly explains why she was hurt, drawing parallels between his rushed cosplay effort and her own experience. When the final scene rolls up, it is clear that Aqua knows that Ruby is the one controlling situations more than she is letting anyone on. It is a dangerous game to which she outright refuses to have any knowledge of.
