the private Arc covers chapter 67 to 80 in the ocean ofo manga which takes place directly after the Tokyo blade Arc which I covered in this video here I'll be covering the entire private Arc in this video so there will be spoilers for those of you who haven't caught up yet anyways the private Arc starts with the Tokyo blade crew right after finishing another performance they all decide to go out for some drinks at a place that County knows however Al has an alterior motive for going there he wants to get more information on the director of the play toshiro kichi he has been a representative of the la la Li group for a long time even since I was working there at their workshop as they talk Ki mentions that the workshops ended up being a failure when Aqua tries to learn more kichi tells him to stop prying fortunately Aqua gets assistance in the form of taiki who also wants to know more about this failure for some reason taiki ends up taking them to another bar and as cute girls motivate Ki and to talk him more by getting them drunk they'll be able to learn the secrets this strategy ends up working and drunk Ki starts off by mentioning the way tii and aqua act are similar a kind of acting that belongs to those who are likeing something kaii eventually passes out after getting too drunk but it's actually revealed that tii was the one AO wanted to speak with he ends taiki a DNA analysis which actually shows that they both have the same father and AK could then asked T everything about his father Tei ends up taking Aqua over to his place so they can speak privately there Taki reveals that the actress a he may Kawa was his mother the thing is according to an article she ended up committing double suicide with her husband SRO urara who Taki claims as his father which means SRO would also be ala's father and this leaves ala a bit stunned the target for his revenge isn't alive anymore when Nako gets home he finds ruy waiting for him angry that he had been out all night however she calms down when AKO says he was with taiki and even suggest introducing him to Ruby Al begins to think about what to do now that revenge is seemingly over before getting a call from Kana and a text from aan both of them worrying about what he's up to letting Aqua know they do care for him he begins to wonder if it's really okay for him to finally be free live a normal life and be happy then when he turns to Ruby we see that his dark black staring gun is no more a little later on you get to look inside Ruby's bedroom where she has a bunch of posters of eye she wonders if she should remove them wanting to keep the secret to her grave Ruby also explains why she named her group Bachi the first reason was to take over the dream I was supposed to fulfill the second had to do with Goro when Ruby was younger she tried contacting the hospital but they told her that they had lost contact with Goro he's gone missing but Ruby thought there was no way he missed the name bomi and figured he's watching over her from somewhere later we see beachi planed to film a music video to boost their YouTube channel mcha has a contact who runs a design company in the countryside and will give them a family discount if they go there to film however this place they going to is not other than M aaki the place where Ruby died as Serena and was born as as Ruby but back to Bachi mro's second step to boost Bachi is to make an original song Mako commissioned himura the guy who had worked on Bach's original songs he has apparently composed a lot of hit songs and is seen as a top artist a even considers the possibility of Amura and I having a relationship but tells himself to stop everything is over now there's no reason for him to seek revenge kind of seems to know something is up with aqua and says he looks different somehow but she doesn't know why and just says he looks like a softy now unfortunately even though Mako asked himura to finish last month he's still not done Ruby suggests they urge him to finish because as Idols their time is limited they don't have time to slow down so makako ends up contacting imura who says he's been stuck and he can't write it half hour early but his schedule is also full the problem is that his creative flame seems to have died out recently and he wonders if it's time for him to quit just then M sends him a message from Ruby she tells him that she's been listening to the songs since she was small even before she joined Bachi which is all true Ruby tells him that she'll be very happy to sing another of her songs and just like that after seeing Ruby's enthusiasm him got his flame back soon after we see Aqua contemplating what to do now that schedule is empty after the Tokyo blade play finished without the goal of Revenge which jao carried with them in his entire life he doesn't know what to do anymore even Ruby can tell it's like aka's lost all his energy and suggests he goes with them to Miaki Ruby essentially says that was kan's idea since it could serve as relaxation after the play Aqua realizes he hasn't been there in a while and decides to join exitting Ka she uses this opportunity to try to help Aqua get ready for the trip but he has to meet with the Kane that day so he can't go with Kana of course Kan isn't happy to hear that and wonders when they will break up for good speaking of breaking up during the date with a cone AKA realizes he needs to start thinking about his future with her too he doesn't need a cone around him now that he's lost his purpose it really shows AKO is just using a Kan and still considers to keep her around just for her intelligence but decides against it since he doesn't want to hold her back forever akani then brings up the trip to Miaki and reveals that while she traveled overseas a lot she doesn't travel much within Japan she couldn't travel with people agage or go on school trips because of work basically so she kind of envies Aqua so Aqua offers her to go with them to me as akaki there's also something he needs to tell her as well which raises a suspicion leading her to asking if AKA wants to break up with her since a su it out she just wants to get the talk over with now so they head out they reminisce a bit about my love now it's been a year since they met she even feels like the show is still going when she's with him however AKA states that he doesn't think it's a good idea for him to keep her tied down and reminds her that their relationship isn't real Akay knows their relationship is unnatural and youa would bring it up eventually she even questions if she was useful in the end after all aay knew from the start that AKA only kept her around to use her for something that isn't the only thing she knows though we then see a beautiful panel of a count hug and AA from behind it turns out that they're now also standing on the very same spot AKA saved ak's life that time AKA saved her without calculations or plans when AKA kissed her akan didn't hate it either because she knew he was kind if it was Aqua aan even states that she won't mind kissing or even having sex with them Aqua then gently moves a away and says that he may have deceived her a is rightfully confused and questions if AO doesn't think it would make sense to have a relationship without kissing and sex however ala sort of says he doesn't feel that way yes he has felt lust towards thean but this that are two different things AA then asks if she has romantic feelings for him and a suggests that she does thing is a has never had a boyfriend before so she doesn't know for sure and is just going for it however she truly does want to help Aqua it kind of brings up that Aqua did tell her the reason he's in the entertainment industry and that she's not against the idea of breaking up but she thinks he needs someone to share that burden with ala tells her that she doesn't need to worry anymore and begins to reveal the truth to her how he wanted to find his father to get revenge for driving his mother to her death and how the the person who believes to be his father is dead after committing lover or suicide yeah ala mentions he feels relieved deep down with this he's free and can finally live his life fall in love and devote himself to Acton he's finally found Freedom as soon as AA says that cone seems to realize something and quickly makes her departure kind thinks of all the key words AKA mentioned and realizes that he really just wanted all of this to end that's why he didn't notice a simple loophole if he did notice AKA would surely live only for Revenge again so Connie begins to ponder what to do meanwhile Ruby is at eyes grave and talks about they're going back to their Hometown and the AA seems more cheerful lately almost like he's no longer obsessed but that doesn't mean he has forgotten about I however she notices a curl behind her and then decides to leave as Ruby walks away she passes another man unaware of who they might be the man recognizes her though even saying her full name and now she's grown up to be a beautiful woman he's not surprised though as he says that's because Ruby's their daughter his child with ey moved on from that insane cliffhanger Kana essentially meets up with aqua later to go shopping for a trolley case for aqua which basically turns into a pseudo date with Kana continuously getting flustered when asked about a Kane AA does mention he never thought he should fall in love until now which is why he'll treed carefully ultimately though nothing romantic transpired after that aaka just sent Kan home with the taxi later the Bachi Trio finally get to listen to a demo of the song humo is making for them and they think it's really good we then see Mecha talking with one of her friends animon a popular instagrammer and Video Creator it turns out animon is the one mecho mentioned would help them film anim Mona shs mecho she can handle the workload of their music videos too she just needs to feel of their environment to get the storyboards done as long as they can shoot the video her way they won't need a lot of preparations M decides to trust her since they're good friends and it's a video animon wants to shoot and so the travel day arrives along with the Connie who Kan isn't too happy to see on the other hand Ruby is very excited to meet her she even ask if it's all right if a con calls her sister and suggests that a con will probably end up marrying Aqua anyways which also breaks Kaa when they arrive at Miaki Animo introduces herself and explains why she chose this place for our company her main reason is that she loves nature but this place is also famous for worshiping the goddess of arts and Japanese mythology her name is am nozumi namoto who is worshiped as the ratate shrine according to Aqua it's something he knows very well when imone takes the others to go film that just Lees Aqua n Kan on their own Kan suggest going off to the cave of the sun god that's nearby arasu shut herself in her in the m just causes AKA to say God huh in an ominous tone he even suggests that there might be some truth to it in fact there's a certain place he wants to go while they're here it's none other than the hospital where Ruby and him were born but it's also the same place where AKA died in his previous life as Goro a takes interest in the hospital the twins are born in and surmises that I must have given birth while visiting her parents AA doesn't corrector but does say that I was just a coincidence they decide to film on this location when they do visit the hospital ala ask about Goro however it's spent 15 years at this point and KN of his colleagues from then were there either all he got was that they all lost contact with Goro and believed he had resigned how then ends up leading a ACC to Goro's old house in the search for the body it's there AA tells her more about Goro he never had a mother that's because of the condition she had obstetric hermer his mother also HD the fact he was pregnant from her parents and then died at blow loss when Goro was born he was left with his grandparents and still felt guilty about his mother's death even when he went to med school his grandparents thought he wanted to be an obstetric because of that guilt but truth was he wanted to be a surgeon because of the doctor in his favorite novel even when Goro became a doctor he was still helpless which he felt the most when Serena's parents never showed off to visit their daughter even when she was on her deathbed his mother died for him but Serena's mother abandoned her when Serena died she gave Goro her prized possession a keychain with eyes words that she got from a concert Serena's last words to Goro were that she loved him if Serena were ever reborn she was sure of something but she died before she could finish the line meanwhile notices Howa finally touches the same side of his face Serena touched when she died then we see a crow as a mysterious voice says that God is kind isn't he then you see a little girl standing by a tree with many crows on it the girl mentions that God seemingly brought two people who never really had a mother and a mother who gave birth to soless Children Together perhaps there's more that meets the eye the C girl says with a grin from there we cut to Ruby who filming the music video even her eating a sandwich is something they can use conis turn his next and on tells her to think of the camera as a crush and turn around that mindset allows K to turn around with a smile and blush across her face animon could easily dissect that K was definitely have a crush as much as Ka tries to deny it we all know she was thinking of Aqua there mcho and kind then explain how expensive a production like this cost before aqua and the Connie show up since Kan and Ruby are still miners they're filming the dance parts now since the can't work past 10 p.m. while mcho can just film her apart all night kind of then and Paris shown off her new costume which Ruby liked cuz it gave off the Idol Vibe aan doesn't seem to like it though but it's mostly because she wasn't really into Kan becoming an idol in the first place however a surprises Kanor by fixing up her wardrobe a bit more although Connie doesn't want to admit it she's still a huge knor fan at heart and wants to see her look good when Kan asks Aqua if he thinks she looks cute though he just says she gets a passive Mark as they watch Kan of film Kane tells Aqua she understands why kan's acting has improve now her acting basically shouts for everyone to look at her and people just spontaneously turn to look at the one who's shouting she questions Aqua if Kan will sell as an idol and he believes she will however Kan tells Aqua that means he can no longer go out with her like he did the other day Kan had been bragging to her about shopping with AA for her suitcase and the restaurant they went to Once Kana starts getting more famous though AA just can't be hanging out with her in public anymore one Scandal is enough to give an idol fatal wounds that line is about to call back to I getting stabbed and foreshadowing him for something else how could knows that Kan is right though just a glimpse of a man in kan's life could cause her trouble it'll be all over the news and she could even end up like I potentially and of course that thought alone leaves Aqua deep in thought once Ruby and con are done filming though they're free to go back to the end Ruby wants to room with aan that night so AO leaves Ruby up to aan they walk outside and Ruby's cheerful that she gets to have a sleep Rover with aan however Ruby then sees a crow and stops to look at it she finds it cute and explains to aan that Birds can't see at night however aan actually corrects her by saying that just for chickens yet with Ruby distracted the C suddenly snatches Ruby's keys and flies away of course Ruby flips out going from saying it's cute to L screaming that she's going to grow and sco it she screams for the crow wait and then chases it into the forest of the county who suggest that go apologize to the in keeper for losing the key Ruby tries to reassure a they won't get lost though even mention how she's familiar with this place because she was born here not wanting to raise A's suspicions a already knew that though thanks to Aqua and mentions how he said he had fond memories of this place too Ru has found memories too but then suddenly asked if a wants to join Bachi a has doubt she would do well and then of Ruby has interest in becoming an actress Ruby is actually a bit interested and a count even offers to teacher however Ruby want to focus on being an idol first and perform live at the Dome someday now hopefully she can get Goro's attention and reunite with them R even ask the count how big of an age grab can she tolerate in a relationship a wouldn't mind a 10-e gap but questions why they're talking about love interest now be Adit a that she does have a crush in someone much older than her and explains a bit of how much that person meant to her if it wasn't for Sensei as Ruby says she doubts do her best to live and wouldn't think of being an idol either he's the one who gave her a reason to live and kind of smiles here on that and even offers to help Ruby yet the problem is Ru has no idea where he is now he disappeared from his job and his whereabouts are unknown Ruby thinks it's cuz he probably got in trouble with girls and ran away though and it kind of wonders if Ruby is actually all right with a guy like that Ruby exclaims how no matter how many times she said she loved him or to marry her he would just evade her advances but that's okay with her he said he'd consider her and Ruby is 16 now that that she is 16 Ruby really wants to see him again the C then grabs their attention as it sits on top of a shrine then when they go into the little cave behind the shrine they find something horrible a dead body or rather someone skeleton looking at his coat kind of guesses they might have been a doctor Ruby knows though it's the deceased body of Goro which was made especially apparent when Ruby noticed the I key chain Serena had given him Ruby breaks down in shock and the next we see of her is in a room being interrogated ala also arrived on the scene finally seeing his corpse found later on that night he sits with a con on a bench apologizing to a con for finding the corpse a doesn't understand why a wants to take responsibility for that but then he explains that he expected a to find it he had given her information on purpose to make her find the corpse Aqua says that's irrelevant that the corpse is found now but he grins evily as deep down he always wanted the body to be found ala thanks the count for finding the body and then tells her he's always been using her about his father the corpse and many other things he's sorry yeah knew this before him saying she always knew now can finally put her feelings into words sheia wanted to get close to Ala open with that feeling of guilt kind of thinks deep down that with this she can finally say goodbye as she says that ala's probably better off without her tears form from her eyes as she gets up and turns around she about wanted to talk to Aqua during this trip and they could say goodbye with a smile and kind apologizes for crying but stopped by Alo wipes the tears from her face AKA tells that Connie is done with the Revenge now and with the corpse found this time he just wants to protect her with that said AKA Embraces her with a kiss Shak and a con they can finally be together the next morning Ruby's outside staring at the keychain she took from Goro's body before someone tells her that's wrong it's n other than that mysterious Crow girl who's watching ala aan the other day she tells Ruby that's wrong for her to have taken the key chain from a corpse and then watches her with a smug expression Ruby just stares at her Cy so the cor girl just continues question if Ruby had a close relationship with that doctor even suggesting she understands how Ruby feels however Ruby begins walking away saying a child would understand to leave her alone she's in a very bad mood now of course the cor says scarying in a very sarcastic tone before question if Ruby is sure she wants her to leave after all she knows what ruby wishes to know which is enough to get Ruby to pause we then cut to them on set withone telling Ruby she can get some rest if she needs it after what happened Ruby still in a days and didn't even notice any moment speaking to her she says she's fine and after driving to a cold River to film Kan can barely shoot a whole scene before jumping out the river to get a towel and warm herself up still Animo Tak a note if Al is able to stand up from the others willing to do whatever it takes to show her charm then there's Ruby sit in silence next to a crow she's remembering the rest of her conversation with the crow girl Ruby had questioned what the girl meant by saying what she wished to know so the cor girl tells a story about how a long time ago a famous adult gave birth in secret at the hospital here did the deceased doctor was in charge of a delivery but I miss him for a long time specifically the day disappeared was the exact same day that all gave birth to her children you miss on such an important day or did he disappear because of an important day she questions she wonders if Ruby also realizes how suspicious that is before explaining that there were two suspicious men wandering around the hospital all the time too one was a college student and the other was basically a middle schooler the college student was later identified a few years later as the one who stabbed IE to death Ruby asked about the other one though the cor girl mentioned that there are two men after all but then C suddenly surround the little girl as she says who knows it's Ruby's duty to find out now we see Ruby standing silently on a rock in the middle of the river anona admits that Ruby has the best looks but filming her is not fun it's like Ruby's doing her work by the book or imitating someone else Ruby remains deep in thought though as a c watches on I was robbed over her future at ag20 on the other hand Goro was killed and left in such a dark place for 16 years someone had taken those two people away from her and even now they're still living a Carefree life she finds that unforgivable Ru vows to find him no matter what it takes she'll find him and a tears flown out of her newly awakened double black staring gon Ruby faces the camera saying to herself that she'll definitely kill that person Animo is instantly enthralled by Ruby's expression and watches as she steps into the water Ruby then gives the film crew and us an amazing shot as she sits in the water with a cold gaze as Crow feathers fall all around her then the next we see of Ruby is her just looking to the side as Kanor and mcho are relieved now that filming is over an must have finished the editing for the video as fast as possible and briefly explains our edit in process before we see a cone alone in the hot spring she's thinking of how so many things happen during this trip which all felt like it led up to her kiss with aqua which causes a kind to blush just thinking about it she questions herself if that means they're dting for real now as a man and a woman but then con suddenly appears and can see how R cone is even suggesting she get out the hot spring before she gets dizzy a missed the feeling dizzy but it's not because of the hot spring Kan mentions that she heard a Kane was going to start in another movie and caus her popular KH knows that this is an important time for a because whether or not she can ride this wave of success will determine her future yet a tagged along with them for this trip so kind of questions how long does a plan to play this day and show game in regards their a fake relationship with aqua however it Con lets it slip that's not a dating show anymore both girls pause as a immediately realizes what she just said quickly trying to escape right after with a dizziness excuse that just leaves Kan alone coping to herself that there's no way a to Kane and Dina for real now D we C to a and Ruby in bed trying to get sleep Ruby ask a if she knows why AKO became an actor a tells Ruby that's probably because there's someone he wants to meet in the entertainment industry that's why he's trying to sell himself so he can meet that person something like that Ruby ask who that person is and con stops itself from revealing too much information as she wants Aqua to forget about Revenge so she just lies say Aqua just might want to meet his favorite actor before trying to get some sleep Ruby has already realized the truth though judge her by her look the next morning everyone goes to the arat shrine for Performing Arts to make a wish M wishes for them to all become popular makaka hopes her talents don't cause problems the Connie hes her acting get better Conor hopes to get popular soon too the Ruby makes a wish opening both of black staring gun hoping for aqua to find the person who killed I soon now you see Aqua but not his wish as the narrator questions if their wishes came true was it someone's guidance whichever it was the music video they filmed here regard gner lots of attention and would become the trigger for the new bomi's quick rise to popularity now we get a Time skip of sorts as it's now Al mentions the half a year has passed by Ruby and him are now in their second year of high school while and aane are in their third year and most importantly we see a proposal for something called the 15year lie as ala states that this will be the year all of their careers will take off big time and that leaves right into the main State Arc the next Arc of the series it also marks the end of the private Arc I think the private Arc was honestly a great transitional Arc into the next part of the story the first half of ocean o co mainly centered around aqua and his plans for Revenge but the script has flipped now with aqua no longer pursuing Revenge believing that his father is dead it's Ruby's turn to become consumed by Revenge we see how far that goes in the next Arc or if you read the Manga then you already know but for now thanks for watching I'll try to get the main State Arc video out as soon as I can but if you enjoy this one please drop a like And subscribe I got some more Sho content here too that you can check out in the meantime peace
