Oshi no Ko

[MFauli]

Really not a fan of the little silver-haired girl. We have a magical premise, sure, but if you want to make the entire anime about magical stuff, don't wait two seasons until revealing that. I gotta say, if that silver-haird girl is magical, then I'm 100% convinced the "real dad" is also magical in some way. Maybe eternal youth or something.

Naturally the exceedingly easy way out of this would be for the twins to realise who the other one is. That would fix Ruby's trauma, shock, sadness, and everything in a single second. Even if she needed to let go of her romantic feelings.

Why would she need to let go of her feelings? Aqua and Ruby aren't really brother and sister, they are both established persons from their past lives that they fully remember. Dunno if you have a wife, Kraco, but if your mind was transferred into your wife's brother's body, would you stop loving your wife? And that isn't a fair comparison anyway, because Aqua and Ruby BOTH are basically strangers to their new bodies, whereas your wife would, ofc, be weirded out at the prospect of doing sexy stuff with her brother's body. That wouldn't be the case for Aqua and Ruby.

I mean, next episode WILL have another cliffhanger. Could have been this episode's revelation, but it isn't. So I think the cliffhanger will be Akane figuring out that Amamiya Gorou is the dead doctor, that Aqua also has some relation with him, and that leads to Ruby finding out that Aqua is the reborn doctor. THE END - Wait forever until Season 3.

When Akane learns the corpse is Gorou, which ought to happen due to Ruby knowing it immediately, she will be left baffled by the timeline: If Gorou disppeared 15 years ago, because he was dead and forgotten in that cave, how can he matter so much to Aqua and Ruby who were one year old at that point? How does Aqua know so much about him and why would Ruby love him so much? With Akane's considerable wits, she will also realise it was no pet dog Aqua was talking about earlier. The greatest mystery she will ever face! I doubt reincarnation with intact memories will be her first guess. Maybe she will assume the twins heard endless praise from their mother, who must have been the doctor's staunch friend. But then again, it is Akane, so she might believe anything as long as it's about Aqua.

Why would she need to let go of her feelings?

Sure, she doesn't need to let go of them, but she will need to let go of the hope of ever realising them in practice. Japan might be okay with cousin marriages, but siblings marrying is too much even for Japan. On the other hand, Aqua loves Ruby as a sister, but that's it. He never loved Sarina (who Ruby used to be) as a woman. She was a really important patient who also taught a lot to Gorou, but that's it. Now he's taking as good care of Ruby as a sister as he can, within reason, due to being a responsible adult inside. He's no siscon, by far, in the traditional manga/anime sense. Ruby treats him exactly like a sister would, with full signs of the psychological mechanism that makes falling in love with siblings impossible, whatever it was called. So, no, I can't see anything much happening even if she learned the truth. You can't simply overwrite the past 16 years.

Eh...I'm glad you qualified that, because he spoils and dotes on her well beyond the norm. Aqua definitely sees Sarina in Ruby and has indulged her through that filter from the start, even though he hasn't made the actual connection.

Sure. He certainly doesn't behave like a normal guy of that age would. But it's still a far cry from manga/anime where being a siscon (or in reverse a brocon) is the actual character trait.
