Whoever predicts what happens in the final episode wins.
I predict it will be shite
>>282084289We learn briefly about X's past, but moreso about Lin Ling. It would end in a cliffhanger in which every top 10 hero stares at one another as the clock for the tournament counts down to zero.
Gay sex
>>282084726between who?
Ahu winning the tournament
>>282084289Show is so trash, I fogot how ep 23 ended even though I watched it like 2 hours ago
>>282084289Show is so good, I still vividly recall how ep 23 ended even though I watched it like 2 hours ago
Why exactly is Loli immune to trust values or she drains them or something?
>>282085515ayy materials, don't need to explain shit
>>282084750only with x and nice
>>282085699I like thinking X put him on the roof at the end of ep23 to make him kill himself.
Utterly impressed by how fast that airing thread maxed out. First thread to last almost a full day vs. the two that usually happens.
>>282086429Even X couldn’t handle the cringe
>>282086429yeah that's hot though. nothing better than violence as foreplay for a pathetic man. many such cases
>>282084289The only real heroes in this show so far:>X>Ahu>Yang Cheng (pre-mindbreak)>Smile>E-soulEveryone else is a fraud. A FRAUD
>>282087088>Smile>a real hero
>>282086429Anon that's retarded, you don't save someone to push them to die later, if you do, you are no different from an assholeI can't even understand how you could come up with that idea
>>282085515Her suit did all the heavy lifting, Loli only has her strong will for justice
>>282087436I don't think he knew Nice was an asshole willing to let kids die when he saved him first time.
>>282087120He was a real one dammit!
btw there will be a special screener of the last episode in china one day before it is released globally so beware of spoilers
>>282087617S'fine I don't speak chang
>>282084289Some weakness of X will be revealed, so that the tournament won't be him snapping everyone instantly.
>>282087514I doubt he didn't know how corrupt the whole hero business was, I can't imagine why he would want to kill Nice and Nice only when he spared even DB.He might have been a piece of shit but so was half the heroes, and the main villains were the CEOs.
>>282087514Doesn't mean he would encourage someone unstable to take their own life, that's malicious intention
>>282087088Firm Man?
>>282084686We know it’s not really a tournament anymore but rather an “everybody is told to kill X” hunt.
>>282087949Oh yeah I forgot about him
>>282078086>Queen is on top of X's crotchWhat did they mean by this?
>>282088142It means X dicked her down for a few minutes after bro snapped his fingers, what else could it mean
>>282088142After failing to beat X she decided to breed with him to have their daughter be the strongest hero ever.
Nice in despair scene technically is also a collection of many different animation styles, kind of funny we just had it last episode with X, it's definitely not a coincidence but I'm so tired of Haolin pushing all these hints and Nice is still just a dead plot device
>>282088142The more important question is why is Yangcheng on his ass?
>>282088310haolin knew the shippers were wrong when they shipped wrice and had to sort them back
Looks like we know at least one thing about what X is going to do in ep24. He’s calling a press conference.
>>282078086>Nice lives rentfree in X's heartCan't make this shit up
>>282088495>Tonight at 7 o'clock >The show airs at 7 o'clock the morningHmmm
>>282087088Retard.
>>282088538holy shit anon this is the fucking picture i wanted you to grab from lofter.fucking saved
>>282087514We know X didn’t actually drop Nice on the roof. In episode 1 Ms. J and her goons bust in like a minute after he killed himself, which means they were trailing him and were close behind. That wouldn’t have happened if X just had warped him there. X was clearly involved behind the scenes somehow, but not like this.
>>282084289As a Nicefag, Idk how the season final could make me feel satisfied, many fans started this show because they got baited with Nice's PV made by the Korean studio, and Nicefags went through so many trials to test their loyalty and sympathy with Nice, some have given up on him, some accepted all of his imperfect sides, but the problem is there's a high chance he will stay dead and become irrelevant in ss2...Nice's fanbase is also pretty big, are they really going to let Nicefags give up on the series?
>>282087850What could potentially be his weakness? His parents if they're still alive?
>>282089164the entire tournament is no overtime pay
>>282089164Poison
>>282089164Chocolates.
>>282089164Nice
>>282089092Nice literally kills himself episode 1 my man
Why does this season not have much comedy like previous ones?
>his smile and optimism: goneRemember when civilian X was still a cheerful weirdo?
I was thinking if the thought of offing himself steams from seeing LL planning to do so in front of Nice, that would be hilariously tragicI honestly feel bad for people committing suicide because of depression ;__;
>>282089092lol
>>282089939He looks like he is about to get serious cause the commission finally succeeded in pissing him off
I guess you can interpret the ED this way too
>>282089967He looks like bootleg nice. They gave him Asian face with no make up or eyelid tape
>>282090201little johnny would be as useless as always (he should just quit heroing and go full model gig), but big johnny should be able to do something if X's powers is powered by trust
>No family>No Friends>only person who even knew he died was his shithead boss>obsessed with a woman who didn't even know he existed
Nice will suffer for the entirety of S2
Damn it's not even a day after the new ep is aired yet TBHX tag on both twitterland and chink social media are full of Nice's fanarts
>>282090779Sounds like me
>>282090779He's a mystery which I think is what they intend at this point. Lin Ling in general is just kind of a teaser for the second half especially since chronologically his arc comes at the very end of the show.
>>282090854He needs to be alive to be relevant by then
the problem is that we have 3 main characters and 1 is presumably dead >ling ling>X>nice
>>282090882he's way better than yang cheng (nu esoul) and pretty much the most entertaining chara in the series
>>282090326OG Nice is bootleg Nice. Lin Ling managed to be a better Nice than him.
>>282090951Interesting how the wageslave fanboy outdid the formerly real thing. OG Nice was a complete fake.
>>282088977I'm calling some unreliable narrator fuckery with Lin Ling/Nice that we either learn about next episode or the start of season 2. There's too many oddities about that scene including the glitching
>>282090854In hell
>>282090749You think X can't teleport or space warp Big Johnny?
>>282090983to be fair, lin ling the wagie only has financial probs, while nice has a lot of emotional baggage and possibly daddy issues too.being a hero only made nice's life miserable while the former have it solved
damn, I actually cried when ahu became a heroI can't believe this is the one anime to make me cry this season
>>282091013I'm not buying into the schizo theory that Lin Ling is actually dead and Nice deluded himself into thinking he was Lin Ling. Miss J and her men show up right after Nice fell off the building so they were following him, so that kind of crosses off that X just teleported Nice to that building. Lin Ling is also essentially powered by his feelings for Moon since even in Episode 1 it was pretty much thinking of Moon that seemingly helped Lin Ling overcome Fear.
>>282091061he should have more control over his own body compared to the rest. at least less disoriented.big johnny was the only one who managed to move his entire body inside queen's force field (powered by trust).
So X worked as a magician in the circus in disguise as a hobby? I was thinking the scene was just Ahu relating it to his past, but X does gives him a look as if he knew him when they are fixing the vending machine.
>>282090929>LL>Main character>Been irrelevant for 19 episodes Nah LL is just another fodder for out mighty king X, he will fall once X snaps his fingers like everyone else in the ending
>>282091120Thing is though, we know that building was already Treeman's and it's right across from the dilapidated structure that's also theirs. I doubt it would take that much time for them to get there after seeing their guy on top of their building near some dude about to jump.
>>282090951Don't ever reply to me or my wife again
Funny thing is that Nice is actually becoming very popular instead of getting worse in the eyes of the fanbase like E-Soul (actually good character) and DB. I think it's because he's an asshole who actually gets punished, even when he tries to do the right thing. He's so pathetic and makes all the wrong choices. It's fun to watch
>>282090951>>282090983>a 'totally me' loser in life is way more interesting and complex than this tragic hero guy LL schizos are at it again
>>282091229Pity = hotness
>>282090983I would have loved to see him failing miserably during that talk show. Enlighter's plan was perfect, he just got extremely unlucky that the guy that night wasn't who he was truly targetting.
>>282091269nobody said that, schizo.
>>282091097This season has many good quality shows but storywise they are all boring, TBHX easily comes out on top, I think JJKfags would love this show if they give it a chance but they would be 'not anime' and proceed to shit on whoever recommends them
>>282091272I don't think it's just pity. Nice is generally just interesting. He's a victim and a villain. A negative character arc leading to a suicide mystery in the background of other arcs is...new? Makes him feel like the central character of this season despite barely being in it.
>>282091142If X used to be a magicain, then he wouldn't be a complete mystery, would he?Think anon, think.
>>282091097I cried when he licked his owners hand in the hospital
>>282091142I think I have seen this question on internet for 3-4 times today, how young are you guys to not even understand a metaphoric concept?The dog was simply thinking X is like a magician it had seen in its early days at the circus
>>282091288The Enlightener had a power that would stop all plans and solve all problems the cast is currently facing. That's why he needed to go bad and presumably get arrested.
>>282091552That's what I thought, but rewatching the vending machine scene made me question it. He could just be giving the look to Ahu for another reason.
>they redesigned the entire arena so instead of a bracket or regular tournament, it's a fucking 9v1 death pit for XYeah I don't see this tournament lasting anywhere near 24 or even 12 episodes. Fuck they can end it next episode and do the actual plot for season 2 with this format.
>>282091229>Johnny arc>People talked about Nice vs Loli instead>Dragon boy arc>People talked about Nice and X instead>Ahu arc>People continue to talked about Nice and X insteadNice becomes more and more popular in both good and bad ways, it would be interesting to see his final ranking on October 31st now that they allow audiences to withdraw their votes
>>282084289Some kind of cliffanger. So Nice just gradually slid moral horizons off-screen ending up killing people no question asked in order to stay hero in public eyes?I expected some kind of better breaking bad scenario, ngl
>>282091509It was so cute
>>282087436Nice revealed himself as a child and dog killer and forces the elderly to be homeless. Of course X would make Nice jump
>>282089164X so far has been shown to always manually activate his powers, if he doesn't have means of automatically warping reality he is not really untouchable, he would be one of the less broken reality warpers in fiction actually.
>>282091272>Pity = hotnessThis is the only reason. I can guarantee you if ESoul or DB was in his position they would not be let off easy
So Nice didn't have OCD but Fearphobia
>there are people who actually think Nice was teleported by XGrim media literacy. He was with Shang De in the night, and is in broad daylight behind LL next. He's a schizo now.
>>282092340Yeah but what can the commission do for X to have no means to warping reality anymore? X can wrap it to get home earlier after his work slave hours, he can do whatever he wants at will
>>282092382Lmao this scene got a chuckle out of meYou don't usually see director making fun of the fans in their show
>>282092455Same goes for retards thinking Ahu's imagination is real and X is a fucking magician
>>282092468Maybe he loses his powers if he gets fired
>Nice has no excuse for being a child and dog killer
>>282092442It's both
>>282089945>>282089596probably because they wanted to cook a very good and complex story with a serious twist this time.I really loved that they didnt reuse the concept video and redid it from the perspective of Ahu and not the omniscient viewer. Those who didnt see the PV dont even know what trippy things actually happened.The thing I cant understand is what do different art styles signify? Different time period in chronological order, the "world tendency" or its just a side effect of whatever X is doing off screen somewhere else.
>>282091733>Johnny arc>People talked about Nice vs Loli insteadReasonable since Little Johnny is a barebones character that didn't need so many episodes dedicated to him >parents died, guy I think killed my dad was 9/11ed, I guess I'll just do literally nothing for over a decadeFOMO milked those onee-sans lusting for him so much until they were dry and tossed him over to Mickey for retirement
>>282092615Ghostblade once again shown to be best bro
>>282092615He didn't kill them>>282092208Yeah I get it, no one would say I was wrong for making an idiot like you jump either, one less retard for the world
>>282092902Calm down Nice sis
nice had so many opportunities to redeem himself or just to say no to the crazy fear dude, shame he didn't learn his lesson also it wasn't the ocd or fearphobia or whatever, retards, it was PTSD from watching what fear did to smile,I can't believe how dense people can be
>Ghostblade killed a bunch of people and everyone loves him>Nice only tried to kill some people and everyone hates him
>>282092678>I really loved that they didnt reuse the concept video and redid it from the perspective of Ahu and not the omniscient viewer. Those who didnt see the PV dont even know what trippy things actually happened.I feel the same, I was kind of expecting they would use the concept pv animation here to save some budget but I'm glad they didn't The director probably thought if the audiences feel attracted to a character arc, they will check out the PVs themselves later
>>282093113director outdid himself, so did the animators.I wish that part 2 wont make us wait 4 more years
>>282092902>He didn't kill themYeah, ordering someone to kill a child and dog is so better.
>>282093069He can't say no but I'm more surprised he didn't kill the dude when he was no longer sane
>>282092902
>>282092902>He didn't kill themNice has command over the clones, and they killed the scientists, so he is responsible for their deaths.And he would have killed directly if Loli didn't intervene.
>>282092039I'll keep your seethe in mind the next 30 trillion "I have no personality besides announcing that I want to fuck my waifu." posts I see.
>>282091552To be fair, his official profile says magic tricks are his hobby. It might be a cheeky joke, hinting he’s as close to a real, honest to god mage as it gets.
>>282093267Lmao
>>282093226>>282093293Isn't the writer pretty clever with this whole Nice killing people thing? In fact we haven't seen him successfully killed anyone on screen, the blood that was shed is always on the hand of others
>>282093483Not for a lack of trying
>>282088495Maybe that's what we see here? Don't know who else he could be talking to aside from Ahu, maybe
>>282092615There was nothing normal about Ghostblade’s childhood because he has actual brain damage.
>>282093499Zero is X's mother
>>282093267Considering those dudes were cheering for Murder Boy when Nice was just trying to protect Smile, the joke’s on them.
>>282092615>bro skipped the whole sequence of Nice being traumatized by the forced image of his fans and corpo owners
>>282093604>>bro skipped the whole sequence of Nice being traumatized by the forced image of his fans and corpo owners>Retard can't understand symbolism when it's there.You realize Treeman was never founded at Nice's age during that scene, right? Treeman was created after this son died which is when Nice is an adult
>>282093649kid was groomed from the start because he wanted to be like smile my man
>>282093170Honestly, next ep will decide whether ss2 is worth looking forward toPeople lose interest easily because new things happen everyday, JJK ss3 is coming out next year, it's not a good arc but who knows how Mappa will cook it, and there's Frieren ss2 coming too
>failed as a hero >failed as a killer (literally didn't kill anyone)>the harder he tries the harder he fallsnice is a trainwreck and people love watching trainwrecks
>>282090779>>282090892LL is Zero's bastard child
>>282093293>Nice has command over the clones, and they killed the scientists, so he is responsible for their deaths.Oh shit, you're so fucking right. My mind's been deadset on the fact that they work alone
>>282093691He's not a kid, he's an adult making conscious decisions, you Nicefags needs to stop babying him
>>282093815i don't even like Nice brohe's clearly not one of the good guys in the showeasily manipulated and takes part in a bunch of the evil plots
>>282088977I lean toward X moving Nice somewhere for a face to face, if nothing else. There's anywhere from a few hours to half a day's time between Nice showing up at Shand's garage to Lin lin being fired from his job and ending up on the roof. It's possible for X to pull some time distortion fuckery to make it seem like an instant for Nice, but he's way too calm walking off that roof compared to how he's acting in last ep's final scene. I still think the decision was ultimately Nice's but anything could have happened prior to the rooftop scene
>>282093815He is capitalism's slave and no hero in this world can go against the public opinion because of the Trust systemWell his decision as an exhausted adult is committing suicide
>>282093867>i don't even like Nice broYou keep telling yourself that
>>282093871Anon, Miss J and the bodyguards were following Nice so they definitely knew where he was heading, he probably float/walked their on autopilot
Some of these heroes or arcs seem very underdeveloped. Like 1 ep for the dog and then 1 ep for X? What even is the point?
>>282094147X has been built through the entire show in the background, his episode is only finally getting more insight from his point of view.Ahu's backstory is self-contained, pretty much just a special dog who stumbled into becoming a hero, he doesn't need more than a episode.
say something nice about Big Johnny
Are we gonna get 3D models for all 10 heroes? Looks like we will for Johnny and Ahu (who technically already had one).
>>282094572lol no
>>282094588I thought CG was supposed to save money in the long run. Make an asset a single time instead of having to draw it out constantly. I was a bit surprised most of the season was 2d.
>>282094572We've already gotten Loli and Dragon Boy too. Just missing GB, Cyan and Queen now
>>282094572Hard to say. My initial thoughts were they might be a bit concerned about going full 3D since they are unsure how characters like Cyan and Queen will come across in 3D, but I don't really think that is an issue since Moon and Miss J looked fine.
>>282093293>Nice has command over the clones, and they killed the scientists, so he is responsible for their deathsI hadn't noticed this until you pointed it out. This implies the entire cast already knew about Nice's true nature. Loli might have shared the information with GB if they were in contact, or GB could have heard it from Johnny, who probably learned everything from Queen and Cyan. Similarly, DB and E-soul likely heard the story from Rock, and Ahu witnessed it today. I have a feeling X has been aware of everything all along. That leaves LL as the only one who's completely in the dark. Perhaps that's why his eyes were closing in the ending, with all those white feathers falling around him—the truth about Nice is something everybody knows except him wait so does this means the whole ED sequence is about NIce?
>ITT waa waa X will be pivotal in the storydaaaaamn what gave it off? the imagery of the OP that celebrates him extensively?>DAT nonlinear time storytellingOMFG I hate that. On a movie is a valid resource, but on a 24 ep series that broadcasts weekly? come on, its not the only series I watch.
>>282094422I hate his alien design, there's nothing cute about it
>>282094147What's else do you want to know about the dog? I'm more curious about Dragon boy background and why he got those tattoos
Please no he's already dead
So, the whole anime style switch effect + Nice having no idea what he's doing there basically confirms X either killed him or staged his suicide right?
>>282095091No you fucking idiotStop pushing this retarded idea and making X sounds no different from an asshole
>>282095148But Xfags told me when the artstyle changes its because X does something
>>282092442Anon the fearphobia looks exactly like misophobia and fear of contagion people with OCD often have. It's not even subtle.
>>282095175The artstyle changed because the animators did something
>>282095091I don't get it. I see this theory so much but that just isn't what I watched. To me, it seems obvious that Nice is going crazy, and the anime glitch effect is representing him going crazy. It's telling you>something is wrong in this sceneX might be there, but he is not going out of his way to kill a man, nor should he care to stage a suicide.
>>282095091This is a shizo theory that some believe to be true but it's more of shitting on Nice than anything
>>282095091Even if Nice is an asshole nothing with how X has been presented has hinted that he would just lead a man to his own death.
>>282085515>she drains them or something?That was a mistranslation
>>282095327But he teleported him there
>>282087436We are talking about Chinese "people's" morals, not that far fetched to be honest
>>282095342Jesus Christ. It is not even the same time of day. I didn't realize reading comprehension was this bad.
>>282094147Ahu had a better story arc in one episode than some characters got in 3+
>>282095342He didn't, use your brain for once >>282094040
>>282094422Queen finds this thing cute and fluffy
>>282095274>X might be there>mightAnon you can literally hear X snapping his fingers while Nice is having his breakdown in picrel. I don't know what to tell you. So far there has never been an animation swtich where he didn't snap his fingers. >he is not going out of his way to kill a man, nor should he care to stage a suicideWhy not? He literally goes around making heroes and killing villains. He's been doing that the whole show.Maybe he decided Nice was a villain. Which, wouldn't exactly be unfair considering all he witnessed in the laste episode.
>>282093293I feel dumb, but how do we know that Nice commands Phobiaclone? Does Nice tell it to target so and so in a particular region, and then it programs a system to predict how to fight if such a scenario were to pop up? What scene tips off that Phobiaclone is an inanimate object completely controlled by Nice?Honestly, I thought it's controlled remotely by a third party from Treeman, while Nice gives it new info sometimes so that the person controlling it remotely can deduce what to do next. Otherwise, it's hard for Nice to always give real time updates on what to do when they get separated/when things go awry.
>>282095091X did SOMETHING for sure but I dont think there's much supporting one idea or the other as to what that is > Miss J and her goons are chasing after Nice in a panic, time cut from last episode to episode 1. I think Nice mentally checked out for a while before ending up on the roof. The snap is well before his suicide. This snap reminds me of the E-soul v Yang Chen snap. We don't (iirc) see X when they occur and we have no real clue to what end his intervention really had an effect on the events. Assuming X does have do be "around" the area to begin with, he was watching the two during pivotal moments
>>282094926I laughed when he said that. Best part is that it was Nice's fault that Ahu became a hero at all.
>Who am I? What am I doing here?An above 2 digit IQ viewer would probably assume that he's dissociated and lost his sense of identity following his fear freakout, and is no longer reliable as a source of information.>TBX fans: X teleported him there!
>>282095416>So far there has never been an animation swtich where he didn't snap his fingersNot entirely true. Episode 1 and Episode 4 both don't have a snap when it switches from 3D to 2D.
>>282095441Argably Nice unintentionally made 3 heroes just by messing up. Lin Ling, Loli, and Ahu.
>>282095416>Nice isn't wearing the same outfit>Not the same time of day>Miss. J knowing exactly where he is>The snap happening AFTER Nice is already on the building, not beforeI don't know what to tell you smoothbrains.
>>282095480Yes, X is involved in whatever is happening to Nice
>>282095416>He literally goes around making heroesLike when? The one who made Ahu a hero is his owner btw>Maybe he decided Nice was a villainOut of whim? Are you retarded? He didn't even care to touch the commission knowing fully well they are after him nor killing DB for killing his good old friend, now he suddenly feels like punishing a depressed person because he was a foolish prawn? Damn X's mind is as simple as his fans
>>282095509Also helped Dragon Boy to get into the Top 10
>>282095504Oh wow it's true, I wonder why. Episode 1 is probably because it starts out as a flashback but episode 4 I'm not sure. Maybe it means Lin Ling has access to the same ability X possesses somehow.
Ahu should have become a hero back when he was a circus dog, if not for the fact that he didn't believe in himself.
>>282095509>>282095582>Xfags claiming X making new heros >It was Nice actuallyKek it's funny
> Zac on the other side of the room realizing X is one of his wageslaves
>>282095520>Nice isn't wearing the same outfitIt's a transforming outfit you moron, when he enters sparkles mode it grows some kind of armor. It is the same outfit.
>>282095572Then I'm disappointed in him for not stopping Nice committing suicide
>>282095690But he did
>>282095718Oh wait maybe he did but he gave up halfway cause it didn't work in the end
>>282095578Anon we literally know nothing of X. I don't know why you've decided he was a good guy but personally I don't know him well enough to have complete trust he wouldn't push Nice from a building. Good for you if you do though.
>>282095416NTA, but>So far there has never been an animation swtich where he didn't snap his fingersActually, ep 1 and 4 likely had no snapping sound, as I discussed here >>282076130 and >>282076330. Though, I would love to be proven wrong. It's just strange that this lack of snapping only occured for LL's arc and no one else's.Anyways, I do agree that there was a snapping sound for this ep. X can bend time and make it different only for certain people, so my schizo theory is that he did that here as well. This power is confirmed to exist in last week's ep for DB fight, where only Nice was slowed down with X, while everyone else got fast forwarded to DB getting "teleported" to the water. I apply this to my theory, but in reverse, meaning Nice got fast-fowarded to the future, but everyone else saw his descent into madness in real time.
>>282095674kek
>>282095686Retard. When Nice is in front of Shand, he has his full armor. The next second, he is in his casual outfit. So did X strip him then, retard?Are you idiots incapable of understanding the concept of a timeskip?
Is this meant to be a feared up Wreck? We know from past episodes he's fought X before and the line in the PV suggests they have been sending people after X
>>282094926This was basically a slap in the face for NicefagsChink fujos were really angry with this episode, they said they will never forgive lh0 for using Nice as a punching bag for lol like this. It would be funny if the next episode content makes them forgive him somehow
>>282095674Zac already knew
>>282095941>This was basically a slap in the face for Nicefags>Chink fujos were really angry with this episodeBased director
>>282095768We know that X helps people and animal in need and he won't kill his friend's killer. That's enough info to understand his moral code isn't the same as his low IQ fans
>>282095997You know the creator is a fudanshi right
>>282095921The armor is literally contained in the casual outfit anon. It flares up when called and goes away when released. I don't know why you're so angry about being wrong. And why exactly do you assume a timeskip absolves X of any involvment? The guy is so overpowered having time powers isn't exactly out of the question. Especially when last episode hinted at it like >>282095834 said
>>282084289Did Ahu take credit out of greed or because he could tell X wanted to stay on the down low? It was kind of ambiguous IMO but I might be missing something.
>>282096058>The armor is literally contained>When Nice is in front of Shand, he has his full armor. The next second, he is in his casual outfit.You realize how none of this actually matters? The fact is that his outfit changed between scenes. It doesn't matter how it changed. The fact that it did means time passed.
>>282095941>lmao the fujos absolutely HATE when their fave suffers guys amirightHave you entered the internet yesterday? Welcome aboard
>>282096115He does it for the Trust value count
>>282096118>argues back and forth about it for 2 posts>realizes he's wrong>"IT-IT DOESN'T MATTER YOU REALIZE THAT RIGHT"
>>282095941>Chink fujos were really angry with this episodeReally? Ep 20 very much showed how Nice would kill other heros and civilians (scientists) just to gain something on the Trust system, so this isn't new. Plus, it's very common for fujos to like a villain just because he's hot and/or deep.
>>282096145But he seems like a good dog
>>282096136They weren't angry with the revelation from ep 20 onwardIf you didn't know the situation on that side, just kindly shut your whore mouth
>>282096164>Nice isn't wearing the same outfit>Not the same time of day>When Nice is in front of Shand, he has his full armor. The next second, he is in his casual outfit.Do you understand what is being said here, or will you waste my time with semantics? Never mind, you didn't even read my post going by this>And why exactly do you assume a timeskip absolves X of any involvment?Literally nowhere did I absolve X of involvement. I said X didn't teleport him there, retard.
>>282096167Don't bother with him he's an idiot who just wants to call a fudanshi based for screwed fujos over in his head.
>>282096176Well he thought if he was stronger he could protect his owner better so he claimed the credit out of good will greed
>>282095941>Becoming a fag for a dude who dies in Episode 1What the fuck were they expecting?
>>282096238I wonder if X is okay with it
>>282096145He remembered X smiling at him when he lied rather than X doing cool stunts to show off his prowess, and said prowess can be gained via Trust points. I doubt he thought of the Trust system when he lied.
>>282096253He doesn't seem like the type to give a shit at all.
>>282096253X doesn't careHe already reached the X title, anymore credits would amount to nothing if X doesn't run on Trust value
>>282096053And yet he still sunk any Nice ships in the process
>>282096214>"muh semantics" You're still going huh. It's ok to be wrong anon, honestly it's more pathetic to hold on like that. >Literally nowhere did I absolve X of involvement. I said X didn't teleport him there, retardDidn't you? >>282095520 could have fooled me. >The snap happening AFTER Nice is already on the building, not beforeDo tell me then, how is he involved if teleportation isn't it?
>>282096309Doomed yaoi is a popular subgenre, anon. So if anything, he just fed the fujos with tons of angst fic and fanart ideas.
>>282095940The crown certainly looks like it yeah. It would make sense too since if Wreck was indeed loaded on fear steroids Treeman wouldn't just let him die like that. He's basically corporate property. Now that I think about it maybe that's why Nice didn't message him anymore. He was scared shitless of his fear cooties.
>>282096323>Didn't you?Yes, that's me? You know that post doesn't say>X wasn't there!!!It says X didn't teleport him here. Anything X did after Nice got there doesn't matter. People knew where he was. The date and time are not the same. His gear is not the same. He doesn't know WHO he is. It is obvious that time has passed and he has no idea what he's doing anymore. >how is he involved if Maybe wait and watch the rest of the show, retardbro?
>>282089967Every episode I feel less sympathy for nicelander
>>282096309A homoship does not die when a couple of pretty boys dies anon. It dies when it is forgotten.
>>282096309You really have no idea how a fujo thinks if you believe that.
>>282096428What a waste of a post. Time could have been saved by not typing and not making me read it.
>>282096433It's the opposite for me, the more I see of him the more I like him. As far as pathetic little meow meows go he's great, just my type.
>>282096479>Translation: I had no idea what you were talking about, missed the point completely to argue semantics, and am too stupid to admit I was wasting your time.Apology accepted
>>282096545No idea what you're talking about but whatever helps you sleep at night bud.
>>282096433He tried to kill Luoli's dad and everyone there. It's pretty clear that he was too deep into the game at that point. The smile arc is to show that he's human too, but not to redeem him. If anything, watching Smile die the way he did, because Nice didn't go according to plan, probably made him more unhinged.
10 bucks says Nice is not actually dead.
>>282096554>no ideawell understood at this point. bye, bro.
Now that the full versions of all the themes are out, my ranking is:SPARX > New Type of Hero > growL > Paragon > Because of You > Neon Rain > Scar > Queen of the Stars > Take Off > Candy Mountain
>>282096584God I hope so. The fact that we still don't who sent the Nice ad with the finger guns and the drawn smile to Miss J's mailbox gives me hope.
>>282096627we still don't know* who
>>282096309The only ship he had sunk so far is Nice and his best bro, it was wrong cp anywayTill next ep, there's no concrete proof that X was involved in Nice's death so XNice is safe for now
What's with the outfit change? He looks like he back to wearing Nice's outfit without the cape.
>>282096606Take Off and My Color are my favorites. Everything else is whatever.
>>282096627how do you guys notice this shit?
>shipsNice doesn't care about romance. Never did.
>>282096627Timestamp for pic?
>>282096783I didn't, I saw it on twitter while I was looking for theories on who sent the ad.
>>282096705Seems like a 3D'd version of what he has already
>>282096844Episode 4, 00:08:08
>>282096876It's not, look at the preview https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HLA3Slxn41EHe's literally changing out of it.
>>282096881Thanks
>>282096692How so? That's the only one that isn't a complete crackship
>>282090882>Locked out of chink social mediaSomeone please drop the fanart here before he's removed from the polls on the 12th I'm begging>>282091229I'm actually so interested to see where he lands when the vote reshuffle happens - assuming he's not pulled out of the vote entirely. At the start he gobbled up a lot of votes meant for Lin Ling but now he actually has a fanbase. Maybe he'll actually stay in the top 5.
>>282092455Exactly, and Miss J was literally right behind him meaning she had to have been following him at some point. Wonder if anything else happened in that missing time apart from him continuing to crash out?
>>282093747>Extremely hot trainwreckAdds a lot of power.
>>282093747
the ed to this show is such a banger
Is Ahu's power actually transforming into a humanoid dog and not just the perception/illusion outsiders get of him when they look at the dog? After all, we never saw him transform when he went after Phobiaclone with the axe. It could be because he didn't fully develop his powers yet, but it still seems fishy to me.
Did you go to XFC today?
>>282097346Honestly all Shand needed to do was praise him and pat him on the head instead of negging him constantly. I'm sure his perfomance would have drastically improved.
>>282096309Lol, lmao evenYou ever watch Gundam anon?
>>282090201Is there really any doubt? They'd need some retarded asspulls to have anything but a stomp by X, hopefully they're smart enough to understand that doing so isn't clever.
>anons genuinely believeing X snapped Nice into the rooftopdid everyone forget the concept of symbolism and cinematographic storytelling or something
>>282098396>the fact that we hear X snap his fingers and Nice changes animation styles 5 times during his breakout means nothing guys, do you even media literacy Do you?
Nice killed himself due schizo shit? If you were created with Fear seems redundant to get infected with it.
>>282096433The fact that Shang Chao died in 36 AC which means Shand De didn't start the emotional abuse to inact his plan for revenge while Nice is born in Year 16 AC makes it worse for me. That makes Nice 20 years old, not some kid that finds killing people to stay a hero fine
>>282096705I'm gonna laugh if the Commoner's first opponent is Loli and he just ends up beating the shit out of her.
>>282098547>If YoU wErE CrEaTeD WiTh fEaRThe sooner you understand this show has garbage subs the better, anon. Nice wasn't """created""" ex nihilo from Fear, he just improved his trust value by beating up mooks injected with Fear by his company in front of cameras.
>>282098567>once you're past 20 you're not allowed to fall under the influence of anyone much less have a mental illness or a midlife crisisGoddamn, no wonder so many people are in jail.
>>282098742>Nicefags always keep trying to justify his actionsI have a new respect for E-Soul fags honestly
>>282098940GBfags are worse, since he doesn't have anything close to the sheer number of Nicefag haters out there. Amd seeing how high he is on the polls, I'm honestly surprised that he's not called out often as a poor choice for a new X. Can you imagine GB becoming X when he didn't make the connection that he's killing hundreds of innocent people until his daughter was affected? Sure, he did the right thing at the end by resigning from MG, but him being blindsided to ever question such a serious set of actions until it essentially spat acid on his face tells me he's not a good hero model.
>>282099175Ghostblade getting a bonus because quiet softboi daddy shows how shallow things are in and out of universe
>>282099751He probably knew the shallowness of it all way too late because of how autistic he is. Either that, or he killed hundreds of people with a questionable moral compass if that was the case. Either way, a terrible candidate for X, and I'm shocked at how much support he has with such little pushback.
No one believes Ghostblade would ever become X. He's not even interested in becoming X.Most of the top 10 don't seem to care much about the position:>Loli>Cyan>Ghostblade >The Johnnies>Ahu>XThis might be the largest amount of apathetic top 10 heroes the commission has ever had
>>282100321Loli, Ahu, and Johnny would have reasons they would want to get stronger at least, and Ghostblade would probably want revenge. I don't know why Cyan would care at all though.
>>282100377I could only see Cyan becoming X if she teams up with Queen to become the second co-Xs in history
Scariest part about Nice's breakdown are the background sounds. It just sounds like a computer or TV breaking down and blaring noises and then he wakes up on top of a billboard glitching out.
>>282100321Johnnies might just get out of the whole hero thing nowhe really doesn't have any reason to stay since he doesn't know that GB was the one who killed his dad and Vortex (the scapegoat) is long dead
>>282100429>to become the second co-Xs in historyThis.
So... XX?
>>282096876Why Commoner punch has that golden ratio thing like Nice's hero concept? Is it going to be a perfect punch or sth?>>282097128>assuming he's not pulled out of the vote entirelyIt will be a rigged poll then
>>282097346Nice is a cute little failureI could impregnate him
>>282097643Those unrealistic powers are granted by the publicLil Johnny didn't even manage to call for beasts like he did in the PVs, FOMO only produces fake heros
>>282098453It means the animators worked their asses off and XNice is real
>>282101332If his fans believe Nice is carrying X's child, it will happen
>>282100799I think he's going to start to realize that something doesn't add up since the same tree damage that was where his dad died was at that camp site. He was too addled by the fear aura to put two and two together then, but he might later on.And Rock may try to push him in the right direction. He wants Johnny dead, so having Johnny try to get revenge against his dad's killer who is infinitely more powerful than him would be pretty smart.
>>282101367I assume Johnny can "control" animals, we just haven't seen him in a scenario where he'd want to or need to.
>>282101501i guess that works. If Rock wants GB out as well, then that works out for him, killing 2 birds with 1 stone.But that means he'll be used as a plot device, yet again.Kinda sad that his tamer shtick didn't really took off. Little Johnny was one of the heroes I was eyeing on the most when their PVs dropped.
Did the show ever explain why Lin Ling saw Moon dead on his bed in episode 1 the way she was at the end of ep 4?>>282101564Well this could be where he actually starts using his powers effectively. Again, he's never actually been in combat scenarios before as a hero, so it makes sense he wasn't being super smart about it, especially with such a specific power set.He'll probably get smarter about his powers...I hope.
>>282101777>Did the show ever explain why Lin Ling saw Moon dead on his bed in episode 1 the way she was at the end of ep 4?Nope. People speculated that maybe the powers of precognition came from Nice, but nothing with OG Nice implied that he had precognition so that may be something specifically unique to Lin Ling.Lin Ling in general is just a mystery.
Ahu realizes his transformations can copy hero abilities and he uses X's to curb stomp all the other Heroes.
>Nice appears in an episode>It's goodSeriously check them. He has never missed.
>>282101864Right up until he faces Little Johnny who then controls him and his powers
>>282101905Would LJ really be able to control him once Ahu transforms to a more human-esque appearance?
>>282091142It's a visual metaphor. It didn't literally happen>>282091229E-Soul is still my favorite arc so far though Ahu and LinLing are tied for second
>>282090201what if this happens and he wants to chat with the other 9 heroes in his altered reality? and that's how the season ends
>>282102049I guess once LJ and his fans still believe Ahu is a dog no matter the transformation, it should still work
>>282101420!?
>>282096433I think he's cool and the most interesting hero, although he has the most screentime I think. He's clearly a soft guy playing tough, dont know if he has actually killed anyone since so far either he fails or someone else does the job for him. I find the idea of a coward superman interesting. He just wants to play prentend hero with his buddy
Does this shit have anything to do with the superhero genre or is it just idol cringe?
>>282102349If you have to ask then get filtered
>>282096115he took the credit because otherwise he would lose his trust value and then he wouldnt be able to protect the girl
>>282096627are you actually retarded?it was LL, go back and rewatch the first three episodes you fumb fucking nigger
>>282102349If you mean "idol" as in idolatry, then this show explores it thoroughly and its dangers within a wide spectrum. There's the classic idol/pop singer worship, there's cult/religious worship, there's worship of private persons who want to be left alone, etc. all within the context of them possibly becoming or retiring the superhero label. In other words, it's a superhero show interwoven with exploring idol cringe.
>>282102691the original didnt have the smile nor the hand pointing to the X
>>282087088Is X really a true hero when he's a burnt out wage slave who treats heroism like a 9 to 5 work shift? He has all of the power but none of the spirit.
>episodes with dog, x, and nice>it's goodfelt refreshing after that fucking slog through the middle of the series
i dont like cyan, the disconnect between her regular voice and her singing voice is way to wide
>>282102691The original video was done by LL, but the video having graphiti of Smile and such at the end despite Smile being dead is the work of someone else. Also, Miss J insinuates that the email was recent when she showed it, yet civilian LL was already gone for months. Someone else tempered with it and sent it to her.
>>282102727literally a nothing burger anon
>>282102822its something, anon, he was the editor, he send the AD as is, someone edited it afterwards, presumably X who happens to work there too
>>282102822>Arc highlights that you will be rewarded with significant lore if you focus on the tempered advertisement banners. For instance, the very 1st ep evidently has some significant relevance all the way to at least ep 22.>A mysterious person sends Miss J a clearly tempered advertisement banner with LL's voice in it before he ever publicly announced his hero identity.Anon...
Do we have ANY theories for what Rock figured out about X?
>>282095940why does fear turn you into graffiti?
>>282084289Kino episode.>>282084302And you were wrong, it was easily one of the best chapters in the entire series. The problem this show has is the same that's inherent to all anthologies regardless of whether they're disconnected or building up to a larger narrative, which is to say that some stories will always be better than others, and that means your experience as a wiever is a rollercoaster in terms of experience quality.
>>282103237Probably a tracking device inside that locket
>>282095409If her sense of aesthetics is so distorted, that means I have a chance with her. It also explains her dressing like a pimp granny on her off days.
>>282103408Not him but what's the general consensus for worst arc? It's gotta be Johnnies or Loli, right?
>>282103237Next ep trailer showed that Shand and probably some other corpos, likely including Rock, know his civilian identity already. They have already joined with each other and the commission in a plan to take X down a few eps prior.I guess they found him out since Rock noticed how emotional and personal X was via clutching Smile's pendant. Rock likely followed Smile's footsteps and found that he visited someone close to him just before he died who is also facially similar to X. Hence, them connecting the dots.
>>282103512Ok but what are they supposed to do with that? Poison him? Blow him up while he sleeps?
>>282103537Perhaps threaten the weaker people around his personal life and only letting them go when he drops out of the race/ensures he won't be X again.
>>282103483Yeah, those two by far. I'd say the difference was that the Johnnies arc got really fucking good on the last one and a half episodes (when it stopped being about the Johnnies, ofc), while the rest was an absolute bore. By contrast, Loli's arc was never as good as the best of the former's, but was never quite as bad the worst of it either.
>>282103483the Johnnies hand down, too long, too pointless
>>282103537have you been not paying attention? they couldn't hurt him because they had nothing to coerce him with, relatives, things, etc. now they know who he is and can use any of those things if available
>>282103669I thought they couldn't hurt him because they realised he's literally omnipotent.
>>282103679if god bleeds then he is not omnipotent, killing smile showed he does bleed (has emotions which can be manipulated)
>>282103483Dragon Boy's arc when it was about Dragon Boy
>>282103483Queen for me, and it's not even close. A nepo baby who I am still confused why she of all people wants to dismantle the Trust system, along with a fight that actually bored me to tears and has no justification for being so long. That length could've instead focused on proper characterization and explaining why she has the goals that she does.At least I understand why Johnny and Loli want to further their specific goals, and both of them defying the Trust system via the tools around them (pet and suit) makes for an interesting story. But Queen just repeats the story of Fear taking over someone and a hero needing to defeat it from Cyan's arc. At least we get our first proper X appearance in this arc.
>>282103754You know what, the only thing I remember from the Queen arc is her fight with X.
>>282103483You could completely remove Cyan and nothing would change. Her airplane killed some guy, but they could've killed him off any number of other ways, and it's not it ever revisited what crashed the plane.
>>282101420He can carry my child
>>282103777Yet Bowa's was many times longer. What significance does she bring into all of this compared to DJ (leading to ruins incident) or vortex (leading to plane incident).
>>282103679If he really was omnipotent, he wouldn't have let Smile die. They realized this vulnerability, and are going to utilize it to threaten his loved ones now that they know his identity.
>>282103800>nothing would changeQueen would have never recovered from her depression nor have survived being hospitalized if the Bowa fight still happened.
>>282103902Just replace Cyan with a bottle of prozac.
>>282091142>So X worked as a magician in the circus in disguise as a hobby?No, that was Ahu's interpretation of X's powers diplayed as a visual metaphor for the watcher's benefit. The entire episode was told from Ahu and the little girl's perspective, which is why the change in art style was so effective.
>>282103715Dragon Boy's arc was hardly about him. They should have renamed it the Nice arc. Even then the arc was shit. The only redeeming thing was Smile and X
>>282093696I think you misunderstand on a basic level the inherent appeal of an anime original where spoilers are impossible because the only version anyone has is the anime. The more rare something is the less likely it'll be completely swept away
>>282102901>AhuSuperpowers: Being coolUltimate: Bite the private partsWeakness: His beautiful owner
>>282104106Speaking of, when was the last time an original anime that isn't tied in to some larger franchise got a proper second season(and not just a tie-in movie for instance)? Li Haoling's works seem to be pretty unique in that regard. So the ability to generate this flavor of hype after a season's conclusion is pretty much an uncharted territory.
>>282103800>and it's not it ever revisited what crashed the plane.Peronsally, I'm glad that they aren't revisiting it at all. Makes the world feel a little more real by not having every bad event be some interconnected conspiracy.
>>282104221I feel like it has been a long time. We are in an era where even something like Gundam is seemingly struggling to get 50 episodes with the latest entry being a mere 12 episodes.The fact that TBHX was penned with a 48 episode structure in mind from the get-go makes it pretty damn rare in the current era.It really makes me wish we saw more companies willing to take a risk since I really don't think you can tell a good original show in 12 episodes, especially if you are setting up a new world.
Xinya is so cute
>>282102349I think this show carries a similar enough spirit of pulp that older cape comics did, but in an anime version with cheesier (but also sometimes better and more memorable) OSTs. Or like what a select few older superhero cartoons attempted, but more serialized in structure even with all the origin stories strung in there. Like how Young Justice the cartoon tried to string together a large world of groups of heroes despite the flaws or frankly insufferable aspects it included with the good stuff. That means the show comes with its own uneven hit or miss aspects but eh. Every faction has some level of understandable enough motives even if they act demonic or cold on this or that thing. It almost doesn't even matter /that/ much if it ends up a trainwreck by the last third, or 2nd half, because at least it chased the ambition to actually attempt a larger world like this to entertain me for a bit
>>282104316Both her and Ahu are pretty adorable together, and I wish the best for both of them. But knowing Ahu is already 13 years old...
>>282104375Maybe the same kind of trust magic that gave him Super powers and speech can extend his life.
>>282104289I think they don't take the risk because they don't want to 'fail' but yet the problem is when you focus on visuals and let the writing suffer you end up with the same thing. It's not ironic to me that most of my favorite series started as OVAs such Takt op, blood+, Gundam, Yuri on ice, space dandy, tbhx and so on. OVA gives you the most freedom with art style and direction but you need a good team of script writers. China is at the stage where 80s-2000s anime was with the bold ideas and the funding for it. They're sending off animators(although not just animators it's a lot of industries) for training and research and then love calling them back to China.
>>282104465Sure hope that's the case.
>>282104316Late 90s to early 2000s anime energy>>282103902Yang Cheng never would have become new E-Soul if he wasn't trying to invite his not-girlfriend to a Lucky Cyan concert only to accidentally end up as the bull in their weird 3-way cuck situationship
>federation be like>X clearly wants to stand out, lets kill him"is this jap syndrome?
>>282103483I feel Ghostblade, the Johnnies, and Loli's arc could have been compressed down to the A, B and C plots of a 4 episode arc (maybe 5 episodes so the ruins incedent gets it's dedicated episode) instead of taking up 7 episodes that felt like a lot of recap
the Johnnies arc has literally no pay off>he didnt get revenge>he didnt find his dad's killer>he didnt get murdered only because e-soul intervenedits also the longest arc for some reason
>>282105059It's called toxic confucianism
>>282105059That's literally every Asian country ethos, especially on ones influenced by Chink culture and philosophy. You can only stand out in ways that are approved the state and society.
>>282105143Most of the arcs have no pay off for that matterThink about it
>>282105059Did you miss the part where the world is going to end if someone stands out too much?
>>282105143Johnnies is only redeemed by all the moving parts set in motion by and for all the characters not named Johnny. If you want to talk about utterly pointess, it feels like all of Cyan, Loli and Queen episodes could have been condensed into two and not miss any relevant.
Where's the X x Ahu ship art.
>>282105059I don't think they do this as much now because of how much international news coverage gets drawn to it like moths to a light, but in China some big wealthy businessmen (like super hundred-millionaire or billionaire rich) could get exiled or worse very quickly by the current party faction in power, because they were accumulating way too much influence
>the tittle of hero X will be relinquished after 1 year of acquisitionthere, i fixed all the problems
>>282105223I kind of disagree. None have a definitive resolution because all of them are part of a grander narrative, but several did manage to develop its central characters, establish the world's lore and some definitely helped advancing said larger narrative more than others (see Ling Ling and E-Soul's arc vs Johnnies or Loli's).
>>282105223Yeah because everything is being setup for the second half which is something that started to really frustrate me around the halfway point. I think the recent arcs have been better because Nice is something that can kind of be resolved this season so we are getting closure on something.
>>282105303The one disadvantage of this in the perspective of the table bigwigs is that they don't sniff out the potential cases that are extra greedy to remain as X and then fast accelerate a timetable to eliminate them, vs the ones they can just hit with a cooked scandal and consider them done

>>282105580I can get those anywhere.
Speaking about Chink repressive and comformist culture, I wonder how this show is received over there. It has good production values so I'm guessing it's popular, but I wonder how some of its subversive elements get past censorship. By which I mean, while a lot of the show is "safe", it's entire trust & fear value power system and the goverment and corpo schemers manipulating it seem to skirt way too close to an open critique of Chinese vigilance state and social score system, and that ought to have ruffled some feathers.
>>282105629It’s doing great. The only shows averaging higher viewership are LOTM and Dragon Raja, which are both ultra popular IPs with a huge pre-existing fanbase.
>>282105781I have no fuck idea what either of those two are, but good to heart I guess.
>>282105143johnnies arc has:1 recap ep1 backstory ep that has shown no significance yet1 group ep where he's a minor characterhonestly, queen, loli, ghostblade, and johnnies all deserve only 1 episode each (kind of like intro arc for all 4) followed by the ruins arc that flows continously
>>282105629Link Click had done better, iirc.that one has a specific viewership to boot.though tbhx is successful enough to warrant a second season.
>>282101896Now I wonder how will ss2 goes if Nice is no longer needed for the plot anymore
>>282106111>Nice is no longer needed for the plot anymoreSays who?
>>282105781Is LotM doing well there even with the pacing controversy? Kinda based, I think it did get better after the first few episodes.
>>282105200To be fair, the same is true in America except your standing out will be turned into a product and sold
Ahu is the BEST
>>282104007without Nice both Loli and Dragon boy arcs are just boring fest for Queen and X aura farming You can hate him but can't deny his potential as the most interesting character in the story
>>282105717CuteX will beat the shit out of those making Nice cries
>>282103902She will cheer up when she meets Big Johnny anyway
>>282105629Rank 8 in top 10 donghua summer 2025Pretty good but not impressive >>282105781both LOTM and DR are big IPs but fans of the original works were disappointed with the adaptation, DR2 also looks pretty low budget yet TBHX still couldn't out perform them, maybe china hates this western heroism slop, there are many reasons to drop the show early on: Nice isn't as beautiful as the PV, Nice arc isn't about Nice, Cyan and Queen arc being boring, X was late to appear, etc.
What did they mean by this
>>282107067>all the other donghua are established cultivation slop franchises on their second, third, and more seasons>not impressiveLMAO.
>>282106178The mystery behind his death is already unfolded, all heroes are aware of Nice's deeds, he couldn't make it to top 10, what else can Haolin use him for?
>X is no longer motivated at workNow we know it's serious.
>>282085515Loli's dad had sent people to collect spaceship materials, but didn't discover it had nullifying properties so he just left it there at home gathering dust. When Loli made her suit she just used whatever "junk" materials she found on her dad's lab at home, picking up the alien shit, thus, we have a suit that's resistant to both trust and fear.
So X is powerful because he was a famous magician back in the day?
>>282107168Frieren can become a hit on its first season
Early X designs http://xhslink.com/m/7Ym42kPPoQj
>>282107340Is your IQ below two digits?
>>282107356
>>282107362Maybe.
>>282091715when did they show this new arena?
>>282107356I wouldn't ship my bias with X if they had used any of those faggy designs
>>282107340Of course. And can you believe he worked at the same circus as Ahu? Talk about convenient. He also apparently had an act there for years but people only found out about X a few years ago when he kicked everyone's asses at the election thingie. Who writes this shit, am I right? Also, isn't it weird how Ahu saw him performing for years but it was only then that he was impressed by his tricks?
>>282107356I like how each one represents almost a difference animation style era and yet he still aura farms in every version
>>282107485It's from episode 24's trailer.https://x.com/steIIarevue/status/1964504944704442372
>>282106178I mean you literally see his body hit the cement. And no way they would leave his corpse there. If he was really alive, they would have confirmed in in the 5 episodes Lin Ling had
>>282107234Does he even work there or do his "coworkers" merely assume he does
>>282107192Redemption arc? Healing arc? Wreck rescue arc? Yaoi arc? All 4 at the same time?
>>282106924>x in the canon *pushes nice off a building*
>>282102648Aww
>>282107748None of those can happen when he's rotting away on some dilpidated graveyard or while his remains were chopped apart for study in some illegal lab, can they?
>>282107708>you literally seedid we? not sure i trust ling ling
>>282107807Eh but there are plenty of ways he could still be alive, especially if an omnipotent guy like X is involved.
>guys this hero who died in a superhero show is totally dead and is never coming back
>>2821078251.No one knows if X is omnipotent, but nothing points at that being the case right now.2. X doesn't care about Nice. Why would he revive a guy that caused his pal to get killed?
>>282101207
>>282107708Do we really? We see that x can change dragon boy to paper and back in a few seconds
>>282103754>I am still confused why she of all people wants to dismantle the Trust systemHer dad is the leader of the Spotlight organization, take a guess what values he's been teaching her.
>>282107356I'm really glad they went with his current look even if he looks like the KFC Colonel
>>282107748Wreck is so fucking irrelevant, forget about him alreadyLh0's portrayal of Nice is relentlessly malicious—it's like endlessly kicking a corpse. He's been reduced to a pathetic stepping stone. Why bother putting more effort into a stone that's lost its glow when so those that stepped on it are shining brighter? Keeping him alive would only mean prolonging his suffering into season 2
Idk if Nice hadn't blocked the first blow, whether AHu would have survived. But I do know that Nice's remaining conscience compelled him to do so, giving AHu the opportunity to awaken later. Faced with this situation, what would Nice have thought? Would he have thought that if he hadn't blocked that blow, things would have been completely different? I bet he would have. Even as a viewer, I've thought about this, and it's hard for the characters involved not to have thought about it, it was his conscience that destroyed his motivation to live. Nice died because of his own kindness
>>282108321Fuck. Finally, someone who thinks the same.who gives a shit about this dude? no idea why fujos always try to attach him to Nice when their interests are completely one-sided. Nothing about what makes Nice interesting involves Wreck.
>>282108370I don't think it's kindness. I think it's cowardice and hesitation. What is consistent is that Nice is absolutely terrible at being a bad guy. I thought it was weird at first. He comes up against NuoNuo and the dad, but instead of killing them on-site, he introduces himself and spills his intentions first. Now it's consistent here that he meanders around instead of just taking the deed. He just doesn't have the mettle to commit evil without making a show of it. And that makes sense. He didn't become a hero to do these things.
>>282108321If nice wasn't important why is he in the rankings still? Smile was important but he isn't in the ranking somehow I don't really get the feeling he's dead. Or nice is Lin ling or something. I feel like there is a lot more to reveal because the same seiyuu, his involvement, he's on merch more then lin ling, Lin ling isn't even in some merch.
The Nice sisters are losing it, it he’s not alive we might have a mass suicide on sunday
>pretty boy with crippling autism>genuinely thinks he's in the right while killing innocents>never faces consequences for his actions>gets into top 5 >generally likedHow did he do it?
>His ears change as well when transformingWhy though
>>282107823>>282108124You don't think J would grab his corpse? Why would she even leave it there for civilians to see. If he was alive shewouldn't bother with LL subbing for Nice
>>282107993>. X doesn't care about Nice. Why would he revive a guy that caused his pal to get killed?X saving him twice would be pointless af. He wants to die, X is just gonna let him. The real reason he saved Nice the first time was to stop the fight cause he was conveniently there for Smile.
>magician to some random salary-manMust suck.
>>282109174>magicianWhy do brainlets think he ever was a magician?
>>282109198I don't know, they kinda showed it in the latest episode?
>>282109198I reckon he used mass hypnosis to make everyone "forget" him, the coin on a string is a classic magic trick. Would make sense how he's so strong since people still have his trust in their subconscious.
Honestly I feel like X can still subvert expectations because his trust value is not like other people's. I'm wondering if he's a narcissist and that's his downfall He thinks that he cannot be beaten even though he's lazy?
>>282108750So he can hear himself job better.
>>282108321>Wreck is so fucking irrelevant, forget about him alreadyPeople thought the exact same thing about OG Nice back when the episode count was below 2 digits so yeah I'm going to ignore your opinion.>Why bother putting more effort into a stone that's lost its glow when so those that stepped on it are shining brighter?LLfag detected, opinion discarded to the power of two.
>>282108598It's actually surprisingly easy to be liked just by leaving what you actually think up to interpretation and to the projection of your audience. You can do that by remaining ambiguous and/or saying what people want you to say usually, but mute people can take it to the next level so long as they're hot.
Zhike Yang, one of the directors (also scriptwriter and storyboarder) for Ahu arc, said Xinya was supposed to die originally, but he managed to save her from Haolin after some “fierce debates”.
>>282109984It did feel weird and counterintuitive that she survived, so whoever opposed him was right.
>>282110042I don’t think a story about a hero dog who doesn’t manage to protect its owner makes much narrative sense
>>282109984Haolin trying to torture his characters as expected.
I'm still amused at that one anon saying top 10 in China isn't a big deal. China has has so many people and speakers that top 10 can be more than what the whole country of Japan watches
>>282109198X's character profile says that he's capable of doing magic tricks in his personal info (yet it's not under his professional info, so likely not hero info). So there's that link of him possibly being a magician prior.>Skills:Master of snapping fingers, good at piano and magic tricksThese are the only things written for that section by the way.Anyways, it's likely a metaphor that Ahu saw him as a magician. But I could at least see where the others are coming from.
>>282109984Zhike Yang was right
Did Ahu seriously have 0 Trust value until the axe fight, or was the stone shifting to number "01" more of a metaphorical lesson that unless you're one of the people who believes in themselves, you'll be weak/powerless regardless of your trust value points? Because if it's the latter, then I have a theory as to how Nice was able to fall despite having the power of flying naturally.
I can't believe there are so many brainlets among us.
>>282111710he seemed to have the little girl's trust value backthen, otherwise there wouldnt any explanation as to how he beat the thugs at the beggining
>>282111793First time watching a show with a bit of subtle writing with /a/?
The power of x...
>>282108484Hesitation was a luxury Nice could not afford, and redemption was a path forever closed to him. Even if Micky and Rock are terrible people, they don't treat their heroes less than a dog. Ultimately, Nice is a bad villain because his core nature is kind. His tragedy lies in the fact that Shang and Smile became equally vital to him, the twin pillars of his existence. His fateful choice to save Smile resulted in utter ruin. The loss of Smile then forced him to lean entirely on Shang, so when that final pillar crumbled, it took Nice's last reason to live. While one might attribute his actions toward Shang to cowardice or Stockholm syndrome, his decision to save Ahu was a pure act of conscience—an instinctive move before his brain could rationalize it. This same innate goodness is evident when he lunges to save X from falling
>>282111793this and lotm have honestly been super refreshing after all of the bland basic stories in most shows lately
>>282110438To be fair we are in an anglo speaking bubble so there could be 1000 billion chinese people and we wouldn't see the difference.
>>282111849>his decision to save Ahu was a pure act of consciencenah, it was more like>well, i tried, now its not my fault if they diehe lived a coward and died (supposedly) a coward
>>282111821>otherwise there wouldnt any explanation as to how he beat the thugs at the begginingIt's a rabid dog, which trust value or not, can be pretty dangerous on its own. It's not enough to handle an axe very quickly, but a rabid dog is still lethal on their own when the opportunity presents itself.
>>282111710>unless you're one of the people who believes in themselves, you'll be weak/powerless regardless of your trust value pointsThe show has said this at least three times now, most notably with Little Johnny's dad and the Firm Man situation. Trust doesn't give you powers unless you believe you can do it. It's why E-Soul was able to beat those dudes up in episode 5. In that moment, he chose to believe he was E-Soul and tapped into that power
>>282108468Cause X is too out of reach and normalfags love childhood friend sob story, Nice even ghosted this guy because Wreck's so irrelevant in his hero life
>>282108598he's hot and literally me
>>282111880>Retard thinks living is easier than dying Underage shouldn't be on 4channel
>>282111839No, I watched shoshimin last season with /a/ and threads were great.
>>282111793Try jjk thread>>282110438It's only top 10 for SUMMER 2025 And donghua season released less shows than Japan, it's not that hard getting into top 10 at all
>>282105059Its chink syndrome
>>282111946>Little JohnnyCorrect me if I'm wrong, but wasn't that more about the addition of fear rather than simply always having the absence of self-trust?>Firm ManTrue, though one could argue that outside perception of him being able to drop the statue might've influenced him rather than simply just self-trust.Ahu I feel is unique because it doesn't mention external barriers for trust like fear and perception of others (ie pomelo), but rather purely internal ones. Xin Ya already trusted him, so it was something Ahu had to figure out on his own.
>>282111793Then bless us your genius takes, o wise one.
>>282109639>People thought the exact same thing about OG NiceJust you, Nice was a poster boy and a large reason why people even picked up this show, then they stay to find out more about the mystery surrounding his death>>282109475How is being a narcissist would be his downfall? He becomes weaker if he falls in love?
>>282109298>>282109220One bad thing about this show is it attracts too many brainlets and normalfags and most of them coming from the west
I actually don't mind there being brainlets, it generates more discussion too. I'm gonna miss these threads herobros...
>>282112407Yeah. I'm going to miss it too because the show and the threads have become part of my weekend routine, but at least we know that it will come back for another 24 episodes in probably 6 months to a year which is way more than most shows get now.
>>282084289>chinkshit flopped in japanHuh, the nips are based for once
>>282112407This show helps me procrastinate less on Saturdays because I look for ways to distract myself until the episode is out.
>>282112525Still will unfortunately take a while for 2nd season to occur. I'd wager it'll be at least 2 years from now because of the polls still being ongoing until this October.
>>282112653I really don't think it will be 2 years. The production for season 1 has been so smooth that I think they essentially had the show ready to go when it first started airing and have likely been working on Season2. I think 1 year max. I don't think the polls are going to have a huge effect like people assume they are going to since I'm sure the story they have planned is set in stone and certain outcomes are also set in stone. The polls just help them decide what characters are going to get extra screentime or may get more spectacle during their matches.
>Ahu is higher than loli nowlmaoIt'd be funny if he surpasses E-soul
>>282113085Unlikely to happen, but there is a chance now that you can relocate your previous points from one hero to another starting next week.I just want the dog to do better than Johnny. By god was he not good in his arc.
>>282112407>brainlets calling others brainlets
>>282108936So cute, can I have the source pls?I was thinking an amnesia Nice would be cute to shelter at home
>>282112268By "people" I mean the people in the threads not the average twitterfag.
>>282108486>If nice wasn't important why is he in the rankings still?I said Wreck isn't important to this show, not Nice. And he is in the ranking because he is the chosen stepping stone, also the mascot of this series. But he already finished his role, or to put it bluntly, he can't be exploited anymore since he is dead. New TBHX merch btw
>>282113369Nta, but https://x.com/shiro_pkd/status/1964979291902591479Tip for next time: simply searching xnice on twitter will likely give you results if google reverse image search doesn't work, since most anons here post fanart that was uploaded recently.
>>282113395Look at the amount of brainlet contents in this thread, you still think twittertards not flooding this place? >>282112575Lol retard TBHX goods sold out in Daiso in japan already
>>282113687>look at the amount of brainlet contents in this thread, you still think twittertards not flooding this place? I see no Soulcommon shippers here so no, I do not think so.
>>282113687>>282112248
>>282113686>Going to twitterlandAin't doing thatThanks for the source
So do we see any other company use fake villains or is it only treeman?
>>282114170>>Going to twitterland>Ain't doing thatYou don't even need to have an account or see the retarded takes from that site if you know the ship name and how to hit search, anon. That's what I do.
>>282114473Unless we get some sort of reveal about FOMO next ep, I think you're right. DOS is the one using the Spotlight Organization, and MG has Zero, so the others have real villains instead of fake ones.
>>282113617I kinda want him, love the dead eyes
>>282114473>>282114669Treeman has phobiaclone
>>282112407I was thinking of making a waiting thread for ep 24 on Saturday but it might turn into a spoiler thread instead
>>282115194And Treeman also has Wreck, a fake villain. It's not about Treeman having an absence of real villains, but rather it's the only organization with fake villains present.
>>282115220Yeah, don't. Some people might forward and post some of the Chinese leaks since it will air in some universities the day prior. We already have anons here who use Lofter, so the chances of that being the case is higher.
>>282115271They are the only KNOWN ones, in TBHX world, the term 'villains' including those that abused trust system, those got infected by Fear and those that work for hero agencies for commercial purpose
>>282113321Not gonna happen. Ahu might get a boost from the next episode friendship with X, but he’s still just a dog.
>get into the top10 Nice>kill the scientist in the crashed spaceship Nice>kill Rocks and Esoul Nice>become my weapon Nice>kill your childhood hero Nice>why are you at a photoshoot>bully locals into selling you their houses Nice>where are those deeds Nice, we have already started promoting the buildings>NiceHeroes in this show really need a union to fight against exploitative practices, maybe X is onto something by leaving on time everyday.
>>282117110He doesn't need a large boost to surpass Johnny, who's next to him in the poll rankings. Plus, Ahu is gaining more points than him in recent time.>he’s still just a dogBy that measurement, Johnny is just someone who can talk to a cat.
Boy, am I glad that they didn't go with the rough drafts for E-soul.
>>282109519Like Queen? Kek
>>282111880This. Under Shand for 4 so years and couldn't even think to walk away, what a coward.
>>282113686>pretending not to same fagShould've known the Nice fujoshit is from Twitter land go back
>>282118341Oh, some samefag accusations, haven't had those in a while. You can literally see me saying how I found the art too, which can easily be proven by using the same method right this second. Just an fyi, I think Nice deserved nearly every insult hurled towards him. A shitty boss doesn't excuse your shitty actions.
>>282093499What he meant by this was humanity in general right? I mean, Zero cant be forgotten, because the Commission exists in FEAR of him.
Fujo vs fujo violence: the thread
>>282102691Anon that still doesnt explain who the fuck streamed the Ad.
>>282118877paintfag
>>282119172I think the anon understood that they couldn't back up their claim on it not being weird after stopping their replies a few responses in.Anyways, what are the candidates most likely to have done it? It could be X, but he's evidently not omnipotent, and likely doesn't have access to Treeman's works as a FOMO employee. How would he theoretically gain access to that ad and Miss J's email?
>>282119781X's PV shows that he can do location jumping when he is swapping between realities, so getting into Miss J's office and getting onto her computer, even if it was password locked, isn't impossible for him.The little smile and how there was a arrow pointing to X makes it really hard to think it was anyone else aside from X who played the ad because there was also an implication that X stepped in during Episode 2 because of the snap accompanying the animation switch so he was watching Lin Ling for whatever reason.
>>282119860I do agree that the theory that it's likely X is sound. But how would he work around>even if it was password lockedHe's not omnipotent. Where could he have gained access to such info? Is Miss J dumb enough to have her password written in her office or something?
>>282119781>>282119172I still think it will be a nothing burger, I will eat my own shit if im proven wrong
>>282117891Woah, same.I prefer 2D concept Moon though, the Totally Spies vibe is much stronger.>>282120145Hope you'll stream it so I can watch. It's the least you can do after a (you) like >>282102691
>>282120815Luckily, that comics-inspired version of E-soul was scrapped pretty early on to give him a more tokusatsu-inspired flair. Picrel is another rough draft that closely matches the final version, as seen by how MG is replaced by WB.
>>282121229I'm gonna samefag and post Ahu's rough draft too. Might as well hit the bump limit.
>>282121229>WBWarner Bros???
>>282121824I'm not sure. They haven't revealed what WB stands for as far as I know. But how would Warner Bros connect to Zero irl?
>>282121591>Weakness: his beautiful ownerYou just know
