I just want to know what Ling Lin is after now, I can't read Chinese and people are saying that LL join MG. Just what is he fighting for and after. All the other hero we can make a really good guess what they are after now but LL. No idea if he when and join MG the same place Moon's killer is...

>>282263901
Obviously LL wants revenge for Moon.
But he's probably also gonna investigate what the fuck happened with Nice.
It's likely he has a few more objective since there's likely a fucktown of things that happened since we last saw him but those two key points of his character shouldn't have changed at least.

Eh? Episode 24 clearly says that LL stayed with Shand. Where did you read about MG?

>>282263840
>They obviously followed LL there through the portal.
No they didn't
That theory of yours is even more retarded, if E soul was stalking LL before he enters the portal, he can just headshot LL from a far without entering the portal, not even Moon could see who shot LL from there
Esoul and GB already on the island, it's just simple math. Rock wants Esoul to kill LL to get into top 10 so he tracked down Moon location for Esoul like how he tracked down Smile daughter, Esoul waited there because LL will surely arrive for his waifu. GB also tracked down Esoul, he probably assumed Esoul is responsible for his daughter situation OR his institution as an old time assassin told him to get rid of Esoul before Esoul coming for his ass again.

>>282264024
People were saying it in other threads and because I can't read Chinese, I couldn't tell if it was true or not.

>>282264248
Anon, all you proved to me you have a really shit taste. Narratively, this shit makes no sense.

Seeing from a meta perspective, killing Moon just to give Lingling an arc, making in the most stupid and overcomplicated way as possible, adding tons of unnecessary elements that don't add jack shit to the plot, dragging the mystery for two whole seasons, and then taking E-Soul out of the competition last second, just make this whole thing a huge waste of time. You could erase this whole plot and make Moon be killed by a random low tier goon that shot her because he's "le bad guy" and everything would play out the same.

>>282264279
The funny thing is that it may really be true. To made it even more funny, it the one way he stop being Darth Vader to Rook's Palpatine. Also it mess over his chance to be in the top 10 heroes because of jealous for Ling Lin for having everything in his eye and not even having to lose his identity from being a hero

>>282264453

wow, more gratuitous anger. What exactly is Moon's problem ? She has little screen time, but in two episodes and limited time, they quickly managed to give her a better characterization than Cyan and Queen.

What you want seems like torture porn. It's not interesting.

>>282264519
>and then taking E-Soul out of the competition last second, just make this whole thing a huge waste of time
I really don't think the tournament is going to be the entirety of season 2 and E-Soul being in it or not doesn't really matter anymore. Queen's arc implied that the tournament just takes place over a single day and no way is all of the next season just going to be over a single day.
I imagine it will start at the tournament then turn into company vs company and then some of the main heroes realize that the companies in general are all utterly evil and strike out on their own and possibly team up with X to figure out a true resolution to everything.

>>282264519
It for E-Soul arc because he didn't obey Rook again and was just petty that LL get everything, without even losing his identity. So he kill Moon from pure pettiness because Lin Ling look like he get everything in his eye. Well new E-Soul had to give everything up

>>282264562
NTA, her way of treating Nice after she learned from LL that he died was pretty rude. Not to mention, while understandable, her month getting stuck with LL in that apartment had her act pretty bitchy to LL the first few weeks. She really wasn't helping them get away from house arrest.

Says you. It's miles more interesting when you actually consider what Nice is about. He was a good kid enamored with Smile, without remotely understanding what Smile stood for. He's a pathetic pawn who keeps doing evil because he doesn't have the character to be a hero. He is in a unique trajectory to show just how the ambition to be a great hero can lead you astray. That is the core of this show, and there's nobody more genuine and extreme on this front than Nice. He needs to go all the way

>>282264799
>Nice is already at his lowest
So far.
>Nicefags have nothing to lose
Nicefags will lose what they never thought they had.

New E-Soul will be crown the king of incels in season 2. When we learn that at first he went to kill LL but then he stop when he saw that in his eye LL, had gotten everything that he gave up. So he went from killing LL first, to just being petty first and killing Moon, to have him suffer

let's say they animated a lot of scenes already for season 2, how easy it is to replace the 3d models in them without redoing the entire scenes? because cyan and to a lesser extent queen are really bad compared to moon and miss j

>>282264668
I also believe it won't last long. What I'm saying is that possible sequence of

Is just laughable bad. Sure, they can fight outside the tournament but it's just so whatever when everything started because dude was obsessed enough with the tournament to the point of committing murder.

>>282264686
That makes E-Soul an extremely shallow and waste of character. Doesn't even serve a purpose of making him an interesting antagonist, and makes his arc look like a big waste of time.

>>282264890
I think it's partly because people expected some follow up at the very end of the season to a cliff hanger that was 20 episodes ago at this point, instead we got it skipped over to maybe get a flashback in the second season.

Nice seemed like the guy to bottle it all up not just in front of his boss, but his peers as well. I bet they were just barely a presence to one another once they're in private, with the only thing Nice had going for him is his OCD cleaning the place thoroughly.
Either way, why did she immediately badmouth him in front of a stranger without an explanation? Because that seems pretty rude.

What the hell is this bias for OG Nice? I'm only answering you, who seems the sanest to me, but we don't know how really was the relationship between OG Nice and Moon.

She herself tells Ling that she couldn't stand Og nice and it was probably mutual, And by the way, I like Og Nice and I'm glad he's still there, but let's not forget that he is a brutal asshole who will have to answer for his bullshit.

So, I find it pretty believable that Moongirl was in "OH NO!! Anyways..." mode.

Note that Moon becomes much more open with Ling when he tries to court her, and although she doesn't want to give up her own agenda ato run away and get freedom, she clearly doesn't mind Ling's company.

The swing scene demonstrates this.

It seems like everyone is mad at her because she chooses "herself" instead of becoming Ling's girlfriend.

Selfishness is a character trait whether you like it or not.

E-Soul isn't currently an interesting character after his arc. He just straight up Rook 's loyal follower with no free will and just does what ever Rook tell him too. E-soul doing anything even if it just pure pettiness toward someone else and making him do something that isn't just be no free will slave number 1 to Rook would make him more interesting.
You can replace E-Soul with a robot that made for the sole purpose of being Rook's slave and you would have no different at this point in time.
The only interesting thing would be a Nice vs E-Soul or Nice a slave who doesn't want to be a slave but can't seen to escape even which death vs E-Soul a Slave who doesn't want to escape and can't think/make any choses for himself anymore.

Not really no, LL's arc is the better introduction to the hero world. The fact that everything LL knew is completely recontextualized as we the audience carry on with the rest of the arc is a feature not a bug. And an excellent one at that.

Okay maybe I'm retarded but what exactly is the difference between the "dragon" story X told and the Zero downfall narrative? He acted like he revealed some new information but it seemed like he repeated the same thing Ahu probably would have already known?

Is it just the "public somehow doesn't know about fear" thing? Why the dragon metaphor?

>>282265268
the whole show is quite anti-relationship if you think about it for a moment and Ling is the only person open to this. Yang fucks everything up because revenge is more important, Cyan has a boyfriend who defines her entire arc and he mysteriously disappeared into another dimension. Queen's father doesn't have a wife and nobody mentions her. Queen is into cute animality. X-couple is the subject of scandal and never actually shown on the show.

I think Moon's decision was fine, even if she did enjoy her time with Lin Ling in the end it didn't really change the fact that she essentially had no freedom for at least a couple of years and she didn't just want to go back to that. It's also pretty clear that if E-Soul didn't cap her then her and Lin Ling would have gotten together.

The difference is in tone and phrasing of events.
The official narrative is that Zero killed a single hero accidentally and that's what created fear and drove him mad.
X's story is that Zero was willingly and actively killing every hero that opposed his form of justice.
Zero never went crazy, he was always a menace.

The Dragon metaphor is that everyone thought Zero would solve their problems, but instead he became the biggest problem.

The substance is the same in both stories. Whether Zero killed by mistake or on purpose, the first homicide was the breaking of a" taboo", the event that broke all the balances.

Even if X hadn't told me this in a retarded-proof way, I'd already imagined Zero's spiral of violence had been gradual.

I still think Cyan and Queen should have been a single character.

A little girl who survived the plane crash, was adopted by a journalist, and sent to a school for special children. There, she met Lou and was transformed into an "idol", which formed the first piece of her Queen persona. The character's point was to start out as a small, incompetent, lucky girl and then become a more like Queen on the outside, while maintaining her passion for music and a friendlier personality. By mixing the two characters, she probably would have had a decent growth arc.

Bowa could have been better used starting as both a rival and enemy, then as a friend, sister or any kind of sub text you want.

Ling is the only character who doesn't have all of his trailers unlocked on the polls. And for the longest time during this season, everyone hasd 2 of 3 trailers unlocked, while Lin Ling had only 1 of 3, and he continues to do so. He definitely will get his important development next season.

There are a few people obsessed with creating bizarre theories hoping to land some unexpected twist on the show, but I think most of us have figured out that the island thing is pretty simple.

Killing Moon is a move that obviously benefits LL and Treeman and I refuse to believe it was Rocks plan or that E-Soul wasted the effect of surprise on Moon even though the target was Linling. No arguments that were given so far convinced me.
The mere fact that they keep it a secret until S2 is a rather big hint the solution is not simple anyways.

>>282266179
>he can't be chinese gege
If he was Chinese Gege, he would be killing off the female cast. He's just critically injuring them (Queen, Nuonuo, Bowa) and making them evil (Tarot Girl, Bowa).

>>282268109
Why would Rock's lapdog be working for Treeman, especially during the time in which one of Treeman's heros surpassed his rank?

>>282266178
So does Little Johnny, but no one is complaining.
Then again, Little Johnny was originally a girl, which is why he's just one of the girls in his friend group, and is a damsel in distress needing to be saved by an ojisan and his sonpet.

>>282268103
Yes, it's quite plausible, but I expect the final part to not be completely fanservicey. I expect there to be a Team Up moment where all the heroes defend themselves from the tarot girl's attack.

Among other things, it is further confirmation that the tournament will be largely irrelevant.

>>282268257
What shitty decisions? Rock fulfilled his objective. He doesn't give a fuck about keeping Ghostblade and E-Soul in the top10.

>>282268109
Yeah. It's where I'm having a really hard time connecting the dots. Lin Ling becoming revenge obsessed with E-Soul would be of benefit in Shang and his own goal of seeing E-Soul and MG before destroyed, but I also don't think Shang would go to Rock and say "Hey. Can I borrow E-Soul so he could kill Moon?" because Shang wants to see MG burn alongside E-Soul.
It will probably be Mickey or Zac who called the hit. Zac may be able to because it looks like the guy works very closely with Rock.

>>282268215
And again, why would he do that specifically when he was surpassed in ranking? Remember, his promise to Chao Shang was to rise in the hero ranking.

I can't believe the chink voters keeping nice in the most voted heroes made him come back from the dead and kicked e-soul out of the competition. The absolute STATE of E-Soulshitters

I always thought the Queen/Bowa dynamic could have been done far better, so I agree with your post.

They should have gone rivals to companions working together to take down the guy who cucked both of them of the title.

Shang went directly for favors from E-Soul before and E-Soul complied, I don't see why he couldn't do it again. Maybe he would have to choke on his own vomit a little but he's a CEO, he's probably used to it.

No I don't think so. I think he's just stuck with the one guy who groomed him because he had no paths left after he rejected Shang Xing. I don't believe he likes to think about Shang Chiao at all really. Why would he treasure the promise he made with that guy even though he should have figured Rock was the mastermind behind his death a long time ago? I could be wrong though admittedly. But yeah I really don't think rankings are on E-soul's mind much.

>>282268731
E-Soul is seen doing work like saving civilians and ads. He was top 3 in the ruins incident, according to the official timeline, but Rock thought it was a nice idea to send him out of everyone to assassinate GB and LJ and he got dropped to 9. Now he got kicked out of the tournament by a corpse.

I just don't know what Rock was expecting to win with this bullshit unless he's planning to destroy E-Soul's reputation and then kill him again.

>>282268731
> E-Soul is a gym rat and doesn't do any hero work,
Firm man episode, he was chasing a villain, also there's a montage where he saved some civilians about to get hit by a a car iirc
>idol work, social media shit
That part is uncertain in present time, but he did upload vids when Shang was alive.
>Chao Shang is just a retard slightly less pathetic than Nice.
Meh, he was just getting started with actually constructing the suit, and he also did a video of Yang Cheng doing heroic deeds in the city, which is the reason why Yang continually gained trust points rather than it be just a fad.

>>282268851
I think that Rock just sees E-Soul as a useful tool while Dragon Boy is the one he is trying to turn into the return of Zero. I think It really doesn't matter if E-Soul is in the tournament or not to Rock.

>>282268851
Rock doesn't care about E-Soul's rankings. He only cares about DragonBoy achieving Zero status.
When will people understand this. It's not like it's subtle.

>>282268851
Rock never actually cared about his nephew. If he did, Shang should have had at least one Trust Point. Shang should have realized this himself since almost everyone would have Trust Points from their family and friends. Which also means his love interest (forgot her name) didn't either probably why he killed Moon

Sure, but that implies that he has no reason to oblige Shang's request of killing off Moon (which I don't think is what happened, but is theorized by others) especially after he dropped in ranking due to a Treeman hero.

Seething fujoshit

>>282268917
I think Rock eventually came to this conclusion. But initially, he was looking into FOMO's intel and deciding which hero to groom into Zero, thus choosing Yang Cheng, as seen from this week's ep. He was putting all his eggs in one basket, then transferred some to Dragon Boy, only to then complete the transfer and put all his eggs in Dragon Boy's basket sometime between 3ish weeks before the tournament (ep 4 end) all the way to tournament itself.

Dragon Boy became a MG hero in Year 34 AC. Yang Cheng became a MG hero in Year 36 AC.

Rock already recruited DB before Yang Cheng, so DB wasn't YC's replacement. In fact, last episode, we see him specifically looking for someone like YC, with zero trust. He has something planned for him, we just don't know what.

And if he cared so little for YC, he could have just used DB to kill him while he was at the peak (top 3) to get his spot. It would be easier and safer than making go after Smile. So he clearly wanted YC in the top 10 as well.

>>282269212
>If he doesn't like to think about Chao Shang, then why would he oblige Shang's request out of guilt towards Chao Shang's death?
Just because you don't like to think about the kid you killed by mistake once does not mean the guilt doesn't shape you as a person or make you malleable.
>The rankings are a big deal and turning point for Lin Ling's achievement in his arc.
LingLin has nothing to do with this though. I'll take this as a concession.

>>282266286
why bother putting in effort when no one watches the show for them anyway

>>282269239
I think Rock had different roles for Yang Cheng and Dragon Boy. Dragon Boy was always intended to be Rock's Second Zero. Yang Cheng was intended to replace E-Soul who didn't want to play along with what was expected of a modern hero nor would he do what Rock demanded, like wet work.
It's also very likely that Rock personally hated E-Soul since he was the one who killed Zero and if you are trying to create a second Zero then obviously you want the man who killed the first one to be gone and it's even better if you can turn the hero who defeated your god into your own personal tool.

>>282269239
>And if he cared so little for YC, he could have just used DB to kill him while he was at the peak (top 3) to get his spot. It would be easier and safer than making go after Smile. So he clearly wanted YC in the top 10 as well.
Good point, but
1) Can Rock even kill E-Soul?
2) Moves like sending E-Soul to the ruins or to kill Moon but not DB could be a hint that Rock tried to get him killed. He's always the only one sent on the high risk missions. Would Rock really have minded if he didn't come back?

>>282268999
So he really was an orphan with nothing going for him

>>282269198
>ghostblade is shounen core
GB is made for "I can fix him" yumes

>>282269446
1) He could. Since E-Soul, as far as we know, follows all his orders, that makes it easier to plot a trap for him. For example: send him to kill an innocent hero, doesn't tell him that it's being broadcasted and making him look like the villain, uses DB to be the hero who kills the bad guy and saves the other poor hero. He trust would plummet and DB's would rise, making DB having a easier time killing him. But that's just something I came up with, there's plenty of ways to plot E-Soul's assassination.

2) See point 1. There's easier ways to kill him all while gaining even more from it. I feel like the E-Souls fight is a great example of a plot from Rock that he would win no matter what.

How they handled the island and Moon's death when season 2 is like 2 years away for viewers is the clearest sign of how messy the writing is/will be. Someone can call the anthology structure of the first season a mistake, but you still kind of understand why the team did it that way for attention and to fish around for possibilities when this is the 1st season and their 1st try. I still overall liked watching it because of the premise, all the visual effort, and some of the characters, but there's very likely going to be a lot of important fundamentals missing from the writing the longer it goes on.

>How they handled the island and Moon's death
You can repeat this 200 more times and it still won’t be true. It hasn’t been handled yet.

>>282269369
>It's also very likely that Rock personally hated E-Soul since he was the one who killed Zero and if you are trying to create a second Zero then obviously you want the man who killed the first one to be gone and it's even better if you can turn the hero who defeated your god into your own personal tool.
This. There's just too many similarities between Zero and DB that I don't see Rock choosing YC to be Zero in the end.

>>282269605
He's a wageslave addicted to energy drinks
Even though he no longer slaves by doing the bare minimum at all times, he hasn't kicked the habit

Goyblade failed to protect his daughter, other man had to die to barely save her. Shit tier hero.

>>282269654
The delay itself after they used that as the big first character hook very easily paints an image of writers winging it by the seat of their pants. But it's more acceptable in anime since spectacle and absurd situations can be entertaining on their own

>>282269619
I don't see them screwing everything over in season two, but there's no saving the island plotline from being absolutely dumb.

People will eat up, though. I saw people being really fine with the idea YC got to the island by running on water, with DB also running on water right behind him, unnoticed. The only loser will be me.

>if I don't make a reference to semites in my posts I will die

I guess with the knowledge we have now we can also understand why all OG E-Soul cared about was training. The man was preparing for a possible return of Zero or someone becoming like Zero. The man lived through an era where the world was being controlled by one single being who would strike anyone down who stepped out of line. The question really is how could the entire world forget that since 42 something years wouldn't be enough time for people to completely forget because even with massive causalities there would still be survivors from that era, but I guess with how bad the companies were manipulating everyone that the younger generation were just completely misinformed.

One thing that the comission is also afraid of is waves of fear going through a population. They're constantly having to think about attention control of the population and also placating them and how they feel

I don't think she's coming back. X is a reality warper, and I think he would have resurrected Smile if he could. His power seems to be more akin to space manipulation.

>>282269930
X hasn't reached God status yet either. If he wins this tournament, he is the closest to becoming the new pre-fear Zero which may grant him even more abilities.

>>282269605
This is me discussing X's weakness, but still pertains to this discussion >>282256934

An anon asked me last week for any additional character concept arts, https://desuarchive.org/a/thread/282084289/#q282123471 but unfortunately, the thread got archived before I responded. So I've compiled together 15 of them that are different enough from the final product. Some I've already uploaded here a while ago, others I haven't yet.

(Hopefully, the site will allow me to upload without spam warnings. However, if that happens to be the case, I'll space out the posts more or upload less pics)

Without further ado:
Loli

Tons of concept art from artists who worked on the show exist in places like artstation too, and can reveal pertinent information, like picrel from here: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/klvAlz

Before ep 24, fanartists made a rendition of her blurry appearance from the show itself and got the arm area wrong https://x.com/AllAlbium/status/1928253491085992439. From the official concept background art, it was noted long ago to have been lace/tattoo and not a metallic armband/bracelet

Lastly, the scene that started it all back ~2021. Done by storyboarder/early designer Zhang Lei, this was among the first "clean" and fully realized concept art of the show ever.
Nice's suicide was really planned ahead, huh?

Easy to say at this point that X, Nice, and Lin Ling are the three core pieces to this story. With Nine and tarot lady on top for extra flavor for X

>>282271590
Cute friend group there. It'd be a shame if it broke apart

>>282271882
Only X and Zero, mostly Zero because Downfall is the origin of everything

>>282263844
I was curious for this series because of the initial PV for X himself. I haven't been keeping up with threads, but how's the story been so far? I also heard there was some changeover between studios hence the shift between CG/2D animation?

Then I'll upload one more Wreck concept art just for you, anon.
>>282271882
Can't find it right now, but the next earliest fully-realized concept was of the iconic alleyway scene that the 6 min PV took place in. It had X in his hero outfit looking behind him and seeing Ahu pout IIRC. So perhaps Ahu is also a pretty important sidekick?

>>282272054
>Story
Amthology focused on a world where heroes are celebrities and powers come from the trust of the people
ranges from pretty good capeshit stories that can stand on their own, to mediocre arcs that are saved by their connection to the overall main plot that's brewing in the background.
>animation shift
it's an intentional change, as its a collaboration between multiple studios, with every hero having a slightly different animation style for their arcs, and it's also used to portray the power of X over the world and at one point it's even pointed out as an actual thing in-universe

>>282271797
>Lastly
Huh, I'm surprised there's none of Queen or DB considering they're 2 and 3 currently though it's ironic that they both had the least focus as well in their own arc

>>282267964
>thinking about E-Soul and Ghostblade both camping out on the island waiting for LL is pretty funny.

>>282272175
Interesting, thanks for the breakdown anon. Will definitely check it out.

>>282266813
was kinda hoping for a black and white suit

i think it's really funny how Cyan is meant to be a 19 year old woman, yet even in 3D she's still got a pouty childlike face and seems to be smaller than Loli, the only minor in the top 10

>>282272296
No he isn't

The closest thing I found is the 2023 official posters I've seen here and there. It's also the one where we potentially see a female Little Johnny rather than the final male design. But who knows if that was really the case for Johnny, as all other arts, even earlier less detailed/more stylistic ones, fail to show his cleavage because it's hidden by the hood/jacket.

But anyways, if anyone else has Queen/DB concepts, I'd be happy to see it.

>>282272340
She looks young in 2D too, only looks older and not as cute in the official art

Where the fuck is this poll everyone keeps talking about? Retards just sharing screenshots of it instead of sharing a link.

>>282265569
Helping Cyan made him lucky enough to land into superhero powers that skyrocketed him into number 1.

>>282272894
You can just Google "Bilibili polls tbhx" and click the first result. You can even change the website into English rather than Chinese once you're on there.

So what are fans in universe going to think mid fight seeing Nice in there? LL lied? Is this a ploy to tank his score?

>straight up just had the Mann bros from TF2 as kung fu enemies
Couldn't they have come up with someone more original?
