After six months with no breaks, we are at the Season 1 finale. Presumably, Season 2 will come out at some point. Thank you all for the many weeks of discussion!
>8:55pm>no episodeI am forgotten
honestly one of my favorite things to come out this year.
>>282243516Is this series worth a watch? What's the premise?
>>282244330Multiple heroes backstory in preparation for a tournament.
Also, I'm hearing that it's up on Crunchyroll, but not the piracy sites, so no idea what's going on.
>>282244330Basically an anthology following the stories of various heroes who's life's will eventually cross with each other.Its capeshit with a focus on the corruption and superficial shit going behind closed doors as being a hero in that world is a business (yeah, it's a bit like the boys in that sense)And the grim fucked up shit that can occur in a world where people aren't born with superpowers but develop them out of nowhere based on people trust... While at the same time that trust can twist and fuck the heroes lives or leave them to rot if the people stop trusting in themExample,a guy wanted to rescue his love interest from a villain but couldn't as his fans realized it was a trap and didn't want him to go. So as they went "no, don't do that it's a trap!" he felt himself going weak and unable to walk because he couldn't go against his fans wishesAnyway, it's a good series. But it has some weak arcs in the middle.Basically... Every arc protagonized by a woman is shit. Like for real. Only the guys have good arcs. Even the fucking dog has a best arc compared to the women.
>>282244330NotChina setting where superheroes gain their powers from the belief of the common people on them, which in turn makes them both celebrities and marketable products for corporations.
>>282244497No English subs for some reason though
>>>/trash/Not anime.
Normally I prefer the English dub, but Ahu is so Piccologeta that it distracts me.
Also a little detail we got this episode: X snaps doesnt need to physically snap. Even with his hands occupied there was a snap and power activation. The snapping is just aura farming
Now go watch Ishura while you wait for s2
>>282245136I guess, but idk how you give a gruff dog dressed like a mobster a voice that doesn't sound silly
>Just as Fear never disappeared, it, alongsite Trust, became a power that could trigger a domino effect>The seeds of cause and effect were planted long agoSo I wonder if X is saying that Trust/Fear is causing it because of how it works or if someone set up things at the start to manipulate events.
Cyan is the only one who could take down X
>>282245520Wrong, Lin Ling is
>>282243516OP really has shit taste at choosing OP pic
>>282245142>lying like a piece of trashIf you had said 2ch, I might have believed you>>282245320That's no different from the west sideMerch still sold out at daiso everywhere, and it has enough audiences for Aniplex to hold cafe events>>282245045Mate pls learn to read >>282219549If he was literally created from Fear, trust value shouldn't work on him. He wouldn't get panic attack when Fear substance touched him>>282245161Maybe killing other top 10 heroes so he gets a slot next tournament? >>282245067If you expect it to explode in popularity like Frieren or JJK, it wouldn't. Weebs and otakus in general hate 3D and chinks. If they could maintain the quality like in those PVs they used to bait audiences, it might have worked out differently>>282245101>The senior in the same company suicide in front of him>Got revived by Fear >Social media shit on the company he used to work for>"Why would LL give a fuck?"Are you retarded?
E-Soulsisters..My fucking stocks
>>282243516Honestly, a pretty weak sequel hook of a season finale. Too many setups, very little weight to them.
Based Shadow
>>282245609>Shand says that they will investigate the truth of Moon's death>Lin Ling fucking saw E-Soul cap her and then Ghostblade stepped in and saved his assWhat the hell are they even investigating?The question also is how the fuck did Ghostblade get to the island too.
>>282245633>a pretty weak sequel hook of a season finaleThis. They could've maybe answered some of the plot holes. We just saw X flexing his powers for almost half of the episode which is fine but damn, can we get some answers
>>282245633Aliens were still never elaborated upon and no we're back to the Zero plotline which still makes half sense
>>282245593>>lying like a piece of trashThat's you chinkshill. Nip twitter don't give a fuck
>>282245633yeah. X fucking around was still kino so whatever
Finally!
The episode should have been at least 10 minutes longer. Now we only have a vague idea of who ??? is, and several confirmations of things everyone already knew, like Nice being alive.
what is his power?looks like even without snapping his fingers, he has 360 vision, spider senses and lightning reactions
>Rock being set up to be the biggest threat of the CEOs>His only entry into the tournament is Dragon Boy>Who gets destroyed by half of the other contestants The Zero simp is so pathetic
Oh no...
>>282245741His nephew is about to ruin his ass too
>>282245633I think one of my gripes about this series is how much easier and more enjoyable this would've been if we learned more about the heroes themselves like the actual character PV's showed than them fighting random X's. Smile was fine but the other ones were pointless. Heck even X's MV for winning the poll of how he got his powers or fought whatever hell he was fighting with two other heroes by his side seemed a lot more interesting than this entire episode.
>>282245400It could be both. If people's need for a god to fix their problems caused them to put their faith in Zero, then fear itself goes back to before Zero.And now that fear and trust is everywhere and in everyone causing the events we've seen all show.Even the commission in their efforts are simply acting on their fear of Zero and acting with an iron fist quite like Zero himself.>>282245654>>282245673We did at least learn the truth about Zero that runs contrary to both interpretations we got from unreliable narrators.>Micky/The Commission Propaganda: Zero accumulated too much trust and accidentally killed a hero, causing Fear to corrupt him. The HAC has to exist to prevent people from gaining trust.>Rock's Cult Bullshit: Zero was the coolest dude ever and simply took on too much of the people's woes mixed in with their praise and he couldn't handle it. We need a new Zero that's strong and can endure the pain of others that can act as our new god.>X: Zero had all the trust of the people and solved their problems but acted as a tyrant with an iron fist and stomped out all who opposed him. He was eventually defeated by rebels but people seek to create him in spirit(Rock) or in function(The Commission). As a result he will never truly disappear from people because of their fears
>>282245745handholding...
>>282245609They better deliver with season 2 because making him a incompetent henchman who kills people because uhh he's bad after his arc makes me question what's the point of his existence as a character. Dude's not even there to be a plot device to shill LL because he got KICKED OUT OF THE TOP 10.
Who's the Tarot girl? Should we ship her or queen with X?
Smile-bros...
>>282245741Despite the fact that they kind of initially sold the show as a hero battle royale I imagine that the tournament itself is going to fall apart pretty quickly in Season 2.
Nani?!
Wait is the implication that X got his power from giving the coin to cyan?
Quick question is nice actually alive? or what was that at the end
>>282245593Oiwwwee that a lot of replies. You sound like a tranny faggot landwhale
>>282245830>I imagine that the tournament itself is going to fall apart pretty quickly in Season 2.I hope so, it'd be pretty boring honestly to watch episode back to back of them fighting one another
>>282245845Nah, he's a chinkshill. These faggots are pathetic
>>282245857mindbroken lol
>>282245830Pretty obvious going by all the set up. Also from Queen's arc it seems like the tournament itself is pretty short and I doubt anyone is interested in watching 24 episodes of 10 characters fighting each other
>>282245839No, he's likely dead but his corpse is being used and powered by Fear. You can see the cracks and Fear from his body.
Glad to get some more cute Ahu before the end at least. Only 1 episode would've been too sad.
>>282243516>e-jobber
>>282245861Nah, I'm not a chinkshill
>>282245908utterly mindbroken, lol
>>282245839Hi mysteriously resurrected, giving him a boost in popularity and that kicked E-Soul out of the top 10
>>282245911>He's repeating like a broken recordKek
im confused. has all of this been a flash back since the first nice arc? is this episode present time or past or both?
>>282245970All of 5 through 23 take place before the first arc.Episode 24 finally brings us back to the present
>To Be Flop X
>X's natural enemy>jobs extremely hard the moment he meets Xhuh?
>>282245987damn. I honestly don't care about half the characters its a shame they dragged it out that much.
>reposting the same screenshot but cropped uh oh melty
>>282246088And in japanese too, do you like it?
>>282246136yeah, i prefer reading it that way over mtltrash, thanks
Rumors of a four-month break
>>282246163No way it's that short.
>>282246088Hey, it's not his fault that no one want to watch To Be gay Flop X in Japan. Honestly the audience of this anime are all ugly fujos lol
Cool part of the ending was seeing X's CREATE HERO buddy.So, let's see: What would you rate the series as a whole?
>>2822461905/10, too many cringe characters i don't care about, and the male heroes design/costume are keep getting more and more gayish
>>282246040I don't think they really know what they're fighting against when it comes to X
>>28224616324 episodes followed by a 4 month break into 24 more episodes would be ridiculous. If it's that short it means everything is probably like 90% finished and they couldn't secure the full continuous timeslot
>>282245929>>282245838Here you gohttps://x.com/aniplex_info/status/1966780460551598153?t=lcckxmVdIo09ZI-tNpVtDA&s=19
>Rock and Zac are working together to farm fear, FOMO exists only to farm fear for Zero>Fear is Zero>All of the lore that we've been told is the version the commission has been bullshitting about for years, he killed MANY hero's who opposed him and this may be another reason why E-Soul was taken out because he knew the truth (maybe also why he was depressed? because he feels he himself is a fraud)>X knows everything, including the future and "Fate">The audience represents us expecting E-Soul there, only for Nice to be there instead since the public only found out recently that he was dead, thus the trust he had was enough to switch the twos places (E-Soul also had last place in the 1st round of votes, meaning DB may have some shit happen to him during S2 like this as a result of the IRL voting)>E-Soul was aiming to kill Lin Ling but he went for a two for one deal, GB stopped him from killing Lin Ling but wasn't in time to save Moon, it's shown to the audience via the camera work and how Lin Ling's face is the focus from E-Soul's PoV>May also be why E-Soul isn't there, due to GB telling people about E-Fraud killing Moon but this one is speculation, either way Nice took his spot in the top 10>X doxxed himself before the commission could reveal him themselves, quitting to defy Fate and the commission the satisfaction of defeating X>Nice is a zombie of fear, presumably made by Shang. E-Soul is out of the tournament because of this>It's thanks to FOMO that Roc found Dragonboy>During the Yap session, we can see that Cyan touched Queen, basically her dad planted the seeds for Queens success by using Cyan's luck power, creating irony that she unknowingly helped the careers of both the top 2 Hero's
>>282246190my AOTY i would say 9/10, it has some problems especially in the middle where they had too much recaps of events we know but from a different character perspective but the uniqueness in terms of storytelling, animation makes it easy to ignore them, i hope this push japan to try doing something new, they're stagnating hard
>>282245845>A screen shot from fucking May proved anything Not an argument
>>2822461908/10 imoreally good, would've been a 9 if it had more 3D.
>>282246182nices office lady is pretty sexo but yeah not enough hot girls desu
So how strong would you say each hero is going into the tournament? From weakest to strongest I'd say>Ahu (he's literally just a dog)>Lin Ling (just because we haven't seen any impressive feats from him)The next bunch are tough to say and interchangeable>Punished Nice (his fear powers might give him an edge)>Loli (Given how she was able to keep up with Nice, some prep time and knowledge about the other fighters might make her a strong contender) >Lucky Cyan (Her offensive feats are pretty poor, but she does have hax)>Dragon Boy (He can keep up with pretty much any physical hero, but he does have a limit to how much punishment he can take)>Ghost Blade (He's a top tier fighter, but I wonder if he can perform as well without weapons. Like are his weapons powered by his trust too and made more sturdy?)The top 3 imo are definitely >Little Johnny (He has alien hax and can bypass trust powers) >Queen (She was able to tame Little Johnny, but that was just because Little Johnny had no killing intent towards her) >X
>>282246261Post your to be faggot X twitter stats lol
Official art for seasons final
>>282246250Oh wow, so Queen is basically the Rosclay the Absolute of this series but with actual talent. Come on Aniplex, give the world Season 3 of Ishura.
>>282246190i fucking hate loli/10
>nips having shit taste like always>theyd rather be watching their shitty isekai power fantasy fanficlol
>>282246250And we thought Zac was the least bad of the CEOs.
>>282246280>Given how she was able to keep up with Nicenot even a single hit except for the last one, unironically watch again
>>282246251>AOTYDon't you mean DOTY?
>>282246289>salaryman vs salarymankino
>>282246280E-Soul would be between GB and the Johnnies no?he got thrown out of the cave by Big Johnny but didn't seem particularly hurt, and Speedsters are bullshit.
>>282246182>>282246282Why are you still here shilling and bumping thread for us?
yeah, no one's catching X now
>282246363>starts posting normalfaggot nonsense whining about anime in generalwhat's the endgame here?
>>282246340Do you think I care about about your pathetic petty war against da nips or something?
>>282246379>screeching about lel normalfaggotYep, that is clearly a sign of fujo tranny.
>>282246371top 3 are pretty fixed but the revoting period is going to shake up with Nice being alive
>>282246250>All of the lore that we've been told is the version the commission has been bullshitting about for years, he killed MANY hero's who opposed him and this may be another reason why E-Soul was taken out because he knew the truth (maybe also why he was depressed? because he feels he himself is a fraud)I think the main lie from the previous version is that he didn't kill the first hero by accident, he killed him and other heroes because they were opposing him(not sure about what) even before public trust turned into fear.
>>282246250The entire plotline of E-soul killed Moon is so fucking pointless now and has so many plot holes, but everyone is so happy to call him E-Fraud to notice this. It manages to get even worse knowing Ghostblade was conveniently there in the supposed unknown desert island too.
>>282246261>A screen shot from fucking May proved anythingIt's also the only article about To Be Faggot X LMAO. No one care about it, not even ragebait site
>newfag randomly calling everyone he doesn't like a fujo despite not knowing what it even meanswell that explains it, lol
>>282246444Why are you gay?
>>282246434It was because he was reshaping the world. That was probably part of the lie.
Well now make sense why the tarot girl pull Fool and Chariot(VII) together. Cyan was the first person who believed in X. They truly need each other for season 2.Weird is that Wheel of Fortune(10) is Ling Ling. Well that will be for later
I don't know why people acting like e-soul dropping out of the tournament means his character is done, do you guys actually think the next season which is confirmed to be 24 episodes will be just the tournament? an entire 24 episode tournament? really?
>>282246371I guess Lin Ling's stuff will come during the break as marketing moves.
>>282246439It's honestly so pointless to bring back Nice. Like what does he even bring to the table? We know that's just his corpse being paraded around. E-Soul vs Lin Ling at least brought something
>>282246444Go back to twitterland with your people fujoshit no one cares about your ships
>>282246371But Cyan didnt do anything...
>>282246484I really hope they aren't planning everything around popularity polls or the second half is going to be a legitimate mess.
>>282246494meds
>>282246384You obviously are, thanks for free shill and bump btw
Full official timeline (it's in 4 parts)https://x.com/tbhx_officialCN/status/1967068286438232533Also, Zero was 15 by the time he became a God, crazy.
>>282246496
>>282246512>Rock is unironically worshipping a 15yothe groomer memes just keep going
>>282246512
>>282246440>Ohnonono no one uses social media these days, nips only read articles
>>282246532
>>282246337He'd definitely be top 4. Maybe his electricity doesn't count as trust value power and he can beat little Johnny, but little Johnny smoked Vortex.
>>282246512Well, need an English version
>>282246546
>>282246280>Little JohnnyYou mean Big Johnny. Little Johnny is the weakest of the cast.
>>282246526And it was his dad grooming Zero.
>>282246289>Queen has Lucky Cyan as her bitch sidekick>X has Ahu as his bitch sidekickKino
>>282246289Queen and Cyan will always be paired together in official media. Cute and Canon.
>>282246305Apparently if a hero killed another, they inherit the one dying's votes? That at least what happened in E-soul case
What killed the hype?
>>282246434>he killed him and other heroes because they were opposing him(not sure about what)He was enacting his own furious justice on the world. People wanted God New Testament and they got Old Testament Yahweh
FREE FOR ALL OR 1 VS 1?
>>282246516Ahu got more butt shots.
>>282246502>I really hope they aren't planning everything around popularity polls or the second half is going to be a legitimate mess.Same. It'd fucking suck
Okay, how the fuck does Nice being involved in the tournament work?Is he taking E-Soul's place since E-Soul seems to not be there, but to be instead confronting Rock?And what the fuck is about to happen with the second season seeing how there's so many new characters in the OP?
>>282246289>They changed Nice clothes to this one I want to impregnate this man so bad
I hate that I'm not going to remember anything by the time the second season airs, so I may end up just not watching it, like I did with Ishura.
>>282246602>That at least what happened in E-soul caseIt didn't though? E-Soul wasn't even in top 10 right?
HOLY SHIT THAT WAS GREATTHAT ENDING SEQUENCE PREVIEWING SEASON 2 AS WELL AS THE ORIGINS OF XLETS FUCKING GO
>>282246602I don't think it works that way. It only worked that way with E-Soul because it was essentially the same person.
>>282246594Tarot Girl is Zero
>>282245839most likely recycled, like split/phobiaclone.they're being, most likely, controlled.
>falsefagging retard got bored of his shonenslop and isekaishit and start paying attention to usIt's actually a good sign that TBHX is getting more recognition on /a/
>>282246647Nice was originally a top 10 hero, then the news about his death came out. During that time, E-soul ranked 10th. Then Nice magically came back to life, pushing E-soul out of top 10 list.
>Going to have to wait 2 years for another seasonThis blows.
>>282246502Yeah, fucking Cyan should be 7 to reunite with her QueenI want to see heroes that can actual hold a fight in top ranks
>>282246543>no one uses social mediapost your twitter stats then? I didn't see it trending anywhere lol
>>282246656Hold out hope, we'll get Season 3.
>>282244480>capeshit>tournament arcChina was a mistake.
There are two groomers in this show and one of them is significantly eviler than the other
>>282246763It's pretty obvious that it's not going to be a tournament for the entire runtime and that something's gonna happen to change things up.
>>282246763>>282246751Keep yapping like a dog, can we do something about this retard so this thread isn't ruined?
>>282246695nah
Let hope this doesn't become a pile of dogshit like Link Click season 2
>>282246561I'll google translate it all in a sec
>>282246788Oh wait she is there as well!!!!!!
>>282246787>can we do somethingYeah stop giving it (You)s
>>282246635im guessing its gonna be a ladder tournament but who knows
>>282246773Queen's arc shows that the tournament seems to take place over a single day. The battles are back to back. I imagine the first 6 or so episodes will be the tournament and then shit will hit the fan or something before the end of it.
>>282246695??? is probably Queen's mother
>>282246602>E-Soul vs e-soul>Well that one lost, so the winner must be the real E-Soul>Trust value transfers overAny other case, it's not like that. People just put their trust in the victor because they've proven themselves stronger (I would like to see how the votes changed over the season, would probably be a good example) and the propaganda machine companies spin it in their favor. No use wasting Trust farming resources on PR praising a dead hero, but you can still use them and paint a story about how they randomly went evil and were killed in self-defense or some shit. I guess if you were just watching Trust numbers like they're stocks, it would look a lot like a killed heroes trust being inherited by their killer.
So basically:X is aware of everyone's shenanigans and despite everyone's earlier thoughts, being X is just a popularity boost and not the equivalent of the Holy Grail from Fate.
>>282246289>Ending made it look like Loli was reaching out to Lin Ling>Now she's right next to himI wonder if something will develop there in the second half. I believe they are pretty close in age as well.
>>282246872>spirit Nuonuo gives Loli the push to date Lin Ling
>>282246872Ghostblade should fuck and impregnate loli. Wang will wake up to her girlfriend becoming her mother
how the fuck did ghostblade get on the islandwhy was moon killedwhy the fuck did they drop the e-soul vs LLalso what the fuck is E-soul going to do now that he got kicked from the rankings
>Zero caused Old/New E-Soul and Dragon Boy>Zero / New E-Soul caused Nice>Ghostblade caused the Johnies>The Johnies caused Cyan>Cyan caused Queen>Queen caused Loli>X caused Ahu and Lin Ling and the othersThat origin story from X. It seems that his coworker kouhai or sister, maybe girlfriend, was into tarot, the occult, and the supernatural, which lead her into alien stuff, which gave X his Trust-and-Fear-surpassing powers. I wonder who the other guy is. Could it be X's brother? Maybe an alternate version of X himself?And why is Queen turning evil? Was she infected by Fear, or is she an Alien like some anons were predicting?Great finale. I hope season 2 comes out before I kill myself.
>>282246788No one is there, then X and his bro fight while Tarot girl disappears, then suddenly a girl that looks similar to her is floating there.
>E-Soul drops off screen to rank 10>Gets pissed and decides the solution is to murder LingLing this random dude that got rank 9. Probably.> Decide to do that when LL is on a supposedly unknown desert island going after his stupid gf that got herself trapped in there>He got there by uhhhhh >He gets unnoticed by the two of them because uhhhh>He decided to shoot the girl first and not the guy he wants to murder, who didn't even notice him because uhhhh >Gets stopped by Ghostblade who was on the island because uhhhh he was stalking him because he hates his ass?>And he got there by uhhhhh unnoticed >But too late to save Moon>They hid the fact that E-soul killed Moon because uhhhh>LL wants to murder E-Soul in the tournament probably but his ass got dropped to rank 11 because a zombie took his place Is this seriously the plot? For real?
>>282246915>Silver Torch loli>Ice Maid?>literally just a guy >the fucking Ben 10 transformation>literally just a comedy duo>shittier E-Soul(he's even MG too)>"X's natural enemy" who jobs in secondswow these guys are ass
>>282246915Hey at least they sent the Legally Distinct Mario Bros. in first
>>282246945are u blind?
>>282246767Imagine bringing home Cyan after rescuing her from the wreckage, having her bond with your daughter, and then you separate them by stuffing Cyan in an orphanage and turning Queen into a maladjusted jobber.Why the fuck did he listen to Mickey and not adopt Cyan? Too busy fucking around with fear to raise two kids?
>>282246927Some of it I will just sum up as bad writing which likely won't get explained, but I don't think Lin Ling vs E-Soul is dropped. The tournament also isn't going to be the entire show for season 2 but is probably just going to be the first arc and different things will likely lead to Lin Ling eventually getting a confrontation with E-Soul.
So, the flashbacking is clearly not over, right?We still need to know what actually happened after E-Soul shot Moon (like we know the fallout, but surely something actually happened on the island at that time), we never actually found out what's up with the aliens, we got no real backstory on X, the Spotlight organization stuff was still ongoing with Mickey and Queen's Dad, etc.There's so many threads still lose here that feel like they need to be tied up somewhat during the tournament. Maybe we'll get a mix of falshbacks before the actual fights in each episode to fill in the gaps.But given how crazy that new OP looks, maybe the tournament itself is gonna get shafted early on for an entirely different plot with the Tarot chick?
>>282246970>>He got there by uhhhhh>>He gets unnoticed by the two of them because uhhhhif he's even a bit as fast as comic speedsters, he could very easily just run on water.>>282246970>>Gets stopped by Ghostblade who was on the island because uhhhh he was stalking him because he hates his ass?>>And he got there by uhhhhh unnoticedremember that Ghostblade's been with MG for decades now, he probably superficially knows everything that's going on and just never cared until now>They hid the fact that E-soul killed Moon because uhhhhtouched on in Cyan's arc, people losing trust in one hero is a net negative most of the time.
>>282246982No, X is just too based. Did you watch that scene where he stands completely still, unmoving, and the whole world moves to protect him? Absolutely marvelous.
>>282246915Why did she grab the dog and leave giggling?
>>282246927>>282247007I think some of those bits in the "domino" section weren't literal but more transitions showing the flow from one event to another.Queen didn't meet loli Cyan, but they were symbolically linked through her father.Ghostblade didn't fight E-Soul on that beach, it was just a transition from the beach stuff to their fight in the ruins (which happened prior, but that whole sequence was clearly jumping around the timeline too).
>>282246915The sleepy value brand Static girl was the only one to do anything useful by stealing Ahu.
also more maid sexo
>want to kill myself>fail What did Nice mean by this?
>>282247023Season 2 definitely has to go back to the island at some point because it seems like a complete and utter mess that they really cannot just sweep over especially now that Ghostblade has been thrown into that mess. I feel like the OP at the end is hinting at X's backstory but isn't giving the viewer much more than fragmented pieces that we cannot turn into a full picture.I do think the tournament will only last a few episodes and isn't going to amount to much in the long run aside from some spectacle fights.
>>282247066He's imperfect, like a woman.
>>282247023i don't understand why people are acting like the entire season is going to be just the tournamentThe op is basically a tease for X backstory most of what happens in it was revealed in the second episode of queen arc
>>282247086Good observation, femanon
>>282247065How did she get trust value that turns her into a maid witch?
>>282246872>two heroes denied their love interests

>>282247090>i don't understand why people are acting like the entire season is going to be just the tournamentThey will start season 2 by skipping past the events of the tournament and dealing with the aftermath. All flashbacks of the tournament will not show any fights that happened.
>>282247103and how did a little kid get the trust value to inmolate herself?
>>282247107I'm poor...
>>282246915Why didn't they just snipe X instead of rushing in like idiots?
>>282247117She's the little girl that Firm Man didn't save (the one he saved turned into a furry wolfgirl).
>>282247117She has the excuse of being a FOMO personality. Could you imagine what random influencers would get for powers if that worked in our world?
>>282247131See >>282247038If they tried to snipe X, someone would trip and take the bullet for him.
>>282247027So E-Soul manages to get the location of LL on a desert island, decides he would kill him right there and manages to figure out and reach the place by running on fucking water, all in the span of one minute since LL arrived, and neither Moon and LL notices a fucking thing. Ghostblade got there by ???? Wow what a fucking amazing plot. The writing in this show is just too good.
>>282247148>Chinese Gojo
I feel like we're still missing some huge twist that's gonna recontextualize their entire world.To Be Hero and To Be Heroine both had huge reveals that twisted the way the established world came to be, and given how vague and weird X was being about the origin of everything, I feel like the same is gonna happen with this world somehow.
>>282247164>Ghostblade got there by ????A good question for another time.
>>282247164>Be Ghostblade>Stalking the fucker who almost killed you and your daughter>Looking for a chance to fucking assassinate him like he deserves>Suddenly, he starts running on fucking water towards some deserted island>Perfect, no witnesses>Chase
3D Nuonuo was unreasonably hot. The most attractive 3D female of the cast. No wonder Loli fell for her.
>>282247164>>282247185Did everyone fucking forget that Ghostblade is also a speedster and was keeping up with E-Soul during the ruins fight?
>>282246289Why did they give Queen yaoi hands?
>>282246512alright first one done
>>282245771Good interpretation.
>>282247164I don't think Ghostblade was actually there, it was representing the time they fought in the ship. X is just explaining every one of them is connected by the domino effect.
X wife?
>>282247210They're for her to please Cyan with
>>282247198It's cause that's not 3D Nuonuo.It's clearly still a 2D drawing, just done in the style of the 3D, probably as concept art for the modeling to follow.I really do wonder if a lot of the models in teh final bit are WIP. The Cyan looked REALLY bad. Queen looked alright, but kinda generic and lacking her aura.
I was assuming the scenes with Tarot girl take place in the past, at least the flashes of other things like X in the mirror, but then LL is placed in that fight with the ??? henchmen. I know the first version of the OP was more symbolism than anything but we see people like NINE in this one who do have some place in X's backstory
>>282247222Probably sister or something. His wife was Smile.
>>282247237>It's clearly still a 2D drawingThat's literally just her 3D model put on a picture. Are you blind?
>>282247214wait Shang De's dad was named like the Marvel character?
>>282247222dunno why but I thought that was Queen
>>282247222Checked. I think so as well. >>282246929
>>282247066Most incompetent character ever
>>282247174literally they hei of our generation
>>282247238The scenes with X, Tarot girl, and Nine take place in the past. (Wreck is connected somehow.) X gains powers and fights alongside Nine to defeat the ??? (you can see he's sweating and has a cut, possibly because he doesn't know how to control his abilities or something like that). Everything else is possibly in the future.
>>282247222I still think she's somehow Queen's mom
>>282247257Are you, anon?Look at it closely. That's clearly not a 3D model render. You can see the brush strokes on the highlighting and shading. It's a more realistic drawing of her, but it's still clearly a drawing.
>>282247204So let's start from the beginning >E-Soul somehow knows that Lingling just stepped his foot on a desert island, gets the location somehow, arrives there in like a minute, by running on water. Neither notices a guy running on the sea at an absurd speed. >Ghostblade, who was stalking E-Soul for probably a long time, sees him deciding to speed through the sea to get to a deserted island. >Immediately starts running on water as well. E-Soul doesn't notice the guy running on water at almost equally absurd speed as him that's right behind him. >They arrived almost at the same time. Holy shit, everything makes sense now! Kino fucking writing.
The new 3D models look really bad, hope they get fixed
>>282246945Even though it's probably that they didn't draw her from the distance X and co are at, it's funny to imagine the trio has fabricated this crisis for some reason, if we're meant to take the OP to mean the heroes will be teaming up come s2
>>282247261no, shang shi is 尚实marvel guy is shang chi 尚氣 (shang qi)
She cute
>>282247312I imagine they will. Probably all of them are WIP aside from Lin Ling, Nice and X.
>>282247289If she was, Mike and Queen's father probably would know who she is and not put her as ?????
ill never not laugh when the fattest, palest and probably smelly gringo barges into the thread yelling "not my anime!" and "chinkshit!"lmao
>>282247320>she has an X on her tieI didn't notice that.She has different hair and eye color, so probably not directly related to X.Either coworker or wife.
>>282246929>I hope season 2 comes out before I kill myself.same bro, same
>>282247312i like dragon boy he looks goodQueen looks genericCyan is awfulGhostblade looks like he came from love and deepspace which fit his characterlittle johnny looks decent, big johnny looks bad but maybe it's intentional being an alien
>>282247324>Queen's fatherAnon...
>>282247238Makes sense it is the past as the villain in that opening had a profile section along with Nine who were connected to X that Queen's group was researching. Guess Tarot girl got corrupted by fear, X and Nine sealed her away, Nine broke up with X because of what happened, and X chose to retire because of it until Smile's death motivated him to continue.Then I guess she eventually breaks free or is let out and the whole top 10 heroes have to work together to defeat her now.
Queen doesn't have a mom, never did. She is Zheng and Mickey's love child.
I can’t shake the feeling that X has realized he’s inside an anime, something already manipulated from the start.He drops hints all the time: calling them “pawns manipulated by fate,” saying he won’t follow that path and that he’s going to rebel. On the surface, that could just be about defying the Commission, but honestly that would feel way too shallow.The biggest clue for me is when he says: “I don’t work overtime.” To me, that sounds like a sly fourth-wall break, as if he’s saying he won’t extend his screen time, then the episode ends.And the one who really sparks this awareness is the girl from the latest trailer. She seems to know everything is being manipulated — that heroes only grow stronger through the audience’s faith from outside. When she shows him the tarot, the card of the woman who would become X (the one from episode 1), that’s when he connects the dots: he’s not just another character, but someone who can subvert the “script” itself.From there, it’s easy to imagine his powers awakening not only from in-universe belief, but also from the real-world audience watching him.Sure, there are still loose ends. But I’d rather believe in this meta angle, because if it turns out to be just “fighting against the Commission,” it’d feel anticlimactic compared to all the buildup.
>>282247324Queen's father is a notorious liar
>>282245727He's the Fool.https://files.catbox.moe/ojne03.jpeg
>>282243516>Flopped in japanNips are based for once
man in season 2 they really to go back to Moon and that fuckass island
>>282247399silly X, you're in a donghua
>>282247404kino
>>2822461909/10.
Hey, what if>the commission and the hero orgs always knew where Moon was>Her power is teleportation but she couldnt do it without her gun>What if the gun was company equipment and has logs of where she opens her portal toAlsoWhat if>It wasnt E-soul who killed Moon>the angle of attack was different>Ghostblade was at the location as well
>>282247404You forgot a few.
3D Dragon Boy is so fucking hot...
>>2822461907/10 it was enjoyable but felt unsatisfying.
>>282247465>>282247404
>>282247380Now they just need Queen to become X and establish a rule that she has a massive cock and impregnate Cyan with it while they secretly record it.
>>282246578He trained.
My head canon is that the orgs always knew where Moon was since ya know, satellite tech and GPS and all that, so Esoul was ordered to wait in ambush for Commoner to show up and kill both of them at once
>>282246190I really enjoyed it, but I can't really give it a rating yet because the show isn't done and I feel like season 2 could easily make the entire thing fall apart.
>>282247485>the fool>the chariotpls halp i dont understand im a brainlet
Why is E-Soul so fucking strong? He keeps going down in ranking but he doesn't seem to get any weaker. Even OG E-soul somehow managed to beat Zero
>>282247452i still think it's shand that leaked her location to e soul to motivate lin ling and seeing e soul was willing to kill ghostblade just to have one less opponent then it's easy to assume he jumped at the opportunity to kill lin ling
>Cyan is responsible for herself, Queen, Loli, X and Ahu becoming heroesShe's too powerful
>Why was GhostBlade on the Island?The scene right before is Nice grabbing Lin Ling when jumping, I don't think the scene is necessarily literal.
>>282247521>The Fool is a tarot card that symbolizes new beginnings, innocence, and spontaneity. It often represents embarking on a new journey filled with potential and adventure, encouraging a carefree and open-minded approach to life.>The Chariot is the seventh card in the Major Arcana of tarot, symbolizing control, determination, and victory over obstacles. It often represents the need for focus and willpower to achieve goals, and is associated with the zodiac sign Cancer.
>>282247465Fool - XChariot - CyanWheel of fortune - ling lingHeriontraph? - NineDemon - Zero resurrection Those are the ones who will affect X live in the next season
>>282247320She is way cuter than Queen and Cyan or Loli
>>282247559>Heriontraph?Isn't that the Emperor?
>something something defying fate>tarot cardsSo it's either preventing something the girl predicted or undoing something that has already happened with her
>>282247570give her ranking and she would become 2nd just behind X even without her own episode.
Esposa de X? Modern day tarot girl? Who?
>>282247142I actually did a brief concept story about this.It was about a 'cultivation influencer' that got a form of chi manipulation through marketing energy drinks. His chi aura was just made up of vibrant radioactive piss coloured energy drink.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2uuPU2K_w9c
>>282247588You underestimate LLself-inserters and Cyancultists
>>282247600The system is rigged... how can any hero compete in popularity with someone who has his own theme song...
>>282247066You can rape him forever, he won't break physically
>>282247626They all do, but no one had fights as good as his.
STUBBORNLY I WILL BELIEVE I WILL BELIEVEthat season 2 will be aoty.
>>282247645Unlikely, all of this was just introduction and I can see that when they make an actual story it's going to fall apart.
I really hope Season 2 is more linear in story telling. I don't think there is going to be real justification in jumping around like Season 1 did and it will probably be much more collaborative than "This episode focuses on this hero"
just let the fucker rest good damn
>>282247521>>282247554It's relevant to mention that the Fool card also has important meanings due to the similar Fool/Jackass card in other sets.The Fool represents a rule-breaking game-changing entity, like a pigeon that throws the chess pieces around and struts.
>>282247666Damn he even lost the lights in his eyesAaaaaaaaaaaaaa haolin you better watch your back
>>282247452The best way to make this entire plotline not absolutely shit was making Shand be the one ordering Moon to be killed by a fake to have Lingling hating E-Soul's ass just like him, since Nice, his puppet, died. It would give a plausible motive and why "E-Soul" knew where they were, and how he managed to get there unnoticed. But then this episode just dropped Ghostblade being on the island as well and Nice's zombie. So who fucking knows how to make sense of all this bullshit now. I just accepted we're not getting a satisfying answer and it will probably be something extremely stupid.
>mfw every fucking protags beside Jotaro use the fool to represent themAraki is based, not gonna lie
>>282247521It's a LOTM cross-over
>Inertia suddenly having female vocalsI see what they did here.
I don't even know how Lucky Cyan got into top 3
Wife
>>282247711What?
>>282247692anon he is a literal Zombie made up of Fearif you look through his body cracks in all just purple
>>282246512>英雄ZERO封神I don't know Chinese, but in Japanese those kanji mean that Zero wasn't killed but simply sealed. It means "sealed God".
>>282247645Keep dreaming
>>282247715There was a literal DJ who got to top 1 before her.Whats surprising is there arent more social media influencers who are in the top10 in their universe
>>282247715She has a fucking cult, and the studio even promoting to the younger fans that if you vote for her you will do well in your exams You haven't seen Cyanschizos went utterly crazy over her vocaloid collab
>>282247750>her vocaloid collabWTF? LINK?? Absolutely based if true.
>>282247720So you're saying now he's waiting for someone to kill him off? Is this man not suffering enough already? They want him to die to be another hero stepping stone AGAIN? Isn't respecting the dead a cultural thing in China? Wtf is haolin smoking?
Is there any chance the second season will have the same visual quality? I find it hard to believe, considering it was a flop.
Why did that manager girl in the start not realise that X was leaving work on time?
>>282247769It's chinese vocaloid that only chinese weebs care about
you get home from workthere is a dog in your wallswhat do?
>>282245745>LL is different, he’s a true hero>he will change the system I swearLLfags blown the fuck out.
>>282247726In Chinese it's apotheosis, since 封 can also be to granting a title/position. I think in JP it only has the seal meaning, I can't recall seeing it for anything else
>>282247799X needs a housewife to clean up his mess
>>282247769https://files.catbox.moe/1sf9mf.mp4
The finale was a nothing burger, how many years until season 2
>>282247826He does now, he has Ahu.Just need the art.
>>282247819How are LLfags coping in twitterland and leddit?
>>282247826X is not gay, he need Queen, not a faggot
>>282247839>Queen>Doing houseworksFunny
>>282246289>Ghostblade glaring at yapping Ahu because he hates the noiseCute autist.
>>282247832I guess we can expect announcement from now on till next week, they need to keep the hype going
>>282247797>>282247831I see! That's really cool.Imagine a Miku collab.
brainlets in this thread>moon dies>shang sees it as an opportunity to gaslight LL>yeah bro you will fight him in the tournament and get revenge on him just shut up>e-poop gets kicked out of the tournament by zombnice
>>282247819>>282245745>The handholding was censored Fucking kek
>>282247819Lin Ling is essentially a baby compared to everyone else because he absolutely has no idea what is really going on behind the scenes which is probably going to play into his stuff in season 2.
>>282247825Ah I see. Thank you.
>>282246532alright it's getting late so I'm stopping here, I'm sure someone will do a better version laterand this guy got the important bits I thinkhttps://x.com/silencedhawks/status/1967069904932327904
>>282247719It's a song about X and now there's a female character who is supposed to be close to him.
>evil nice has cracks which goes against his clean OCD nature Kino
it was pretty kino
>>282247913Oh, so Phobiaclone and Vortext caused the crash? So Vortex wasn't on the plane? Well
>>282243516they better bring her back next season
>>282248001Moon my beloved.
>>282248001I feel like the finale is going to be that anyone who died from Trust/Fear/Hero shenanigans will be revived aka I'm expecting a reset end.
Am I the only one disappointed on how 3D Queen looks? She doesn't match 2D Queen's vibes.
>>282248001kanpeki!>>282248031they probably blew all the budget on the X fights, hopefully the models will be updated next season
>bosses around the fear powered phobiaclone henchmen>end up as a fear zombiecan nice stop losing??
>>282248031She looks like a chink, while her 2d model look white
speed forgetter herehow did original nice die by a simple fall?
>>282248001so did E soul really kill Moon because he wanted to fuck with LL or did he just straight up missed
>>282248048We don't know.They still kept it a secret until the end.All we figured out was how he got to the building, but what actually set him off is still unknown.
Is the series just "I'm gathering a team" with X as a main character?
So Cyan gave X his powers? It's her fault that Queen jobbed...
>>282248041Well yes, it's time for him to start winning. Because he just beat E-Soul in the rankings. From hereon, Nice will be the hero he wanted to be...as a corpse.
Lil bro thinks he's E-Soul
>>282248048it's believed that if you don't believe in yourself you don't become a hero, this was given to us as clues in the ahi episode which means that perhaps, when he had his mental breakdown he stopped believing in himself or his reasons to be a hero and lost his powers? anyways, now we have another mystery which honestly isn't good, no good comes from any kind of show that piles mystery over mystery, it always ends in disaster
>>282248055We just don't know. 20 something weeks later and we still don't even have a hint of an answer aside from the fact that they seem to be hiding the truth from the public and Lin Ling is seemingly going along with that.
>>282248100thats ESouless
So second season isalready in production even before the first season was released, how long the wait?
>>282248055We don't know. Everyone seems to be extremely satisfied with the possible answer being that he got into a desert island somehow just to shoot LL and missed, and got stopped by GB who was conveniently there. The motive? He stole his rank. The pay off? Clearly not happening in the tournament. I think all this is extremely fucking lame, so I'm coping for an better answer in season two.
>>282248048We don't have a solid answer, but I think its as simple as that bit of fear that got on him sending him over the edge to where suicide became a real, and maybe the only 'out' he could conceive ofOrder of events so far as we can tell are>Nice hits a series of failures, each paired with Shang telling him he's nothing more than a tool, to give up on his dreams to be like Smile, etc>Lose more and more time to climb the rankings to qualify, sent on a job to go hound poor people >Fail AGAIN, splashed with the Fear that powers the phobioclone henchmen>Super OCD triggers, fear ramps this up to 20, go ask Shang for help >Shang tells him he's lower than a literal dogHere we have lost time. The snap notably doesn't happen until we cut to Nice on the rooftop. That, the cut from night time in the garage to sunset on the roof, and the fact that miss J is already chasing him leads me to guess he kinda just snapped and went on autopilot after Shang told him to fuck off in the Garage. He ends up on the roof, snap, then we cut to the scene from E1
Nice continues to surpass/subvert expectations every time he appears. You never know what you're going to get with this guy.
>>282248092She giveth and She taketh
>>282247544>I don't think the scene is necessarily literal.Anyone who actually watch it understand that.
So they just never elaborated on the Hero Tower top floor or Moon huh? Gonna be a long wait.
>>282248103Not true. When Nice appeared, he was descending so his flight was still working. He didn't just lose all his power. To be honest, we have no idea what happened. I don't like it either. Since this season started with Nice, it would have been appropriate to resolve this mystery.
>>282248199I just wanna understand whats the point of making Nice into a zombiewhat is the motive for this exactly just to show how Fear can be used as a good thing now?
>>282248217X probably just snapped the first floor to look super unused as a middle finger to the commission and hero agencies since he never planned to live there or work within their system
>>282248217top floor of hero tower is from the future
>>282248238Depends. Who do you think revived him? Did he even die properly? I don't think anything good will come out of it. According to the writer, Nice is supposed to be the quintessence of the heroes. He wanted to be one and fell off as far as he could go. At the end, he questioned the entire point of it.
>>282248261>Depends. Who do you think revived him?Shang De, it's his specialty the guy who is taking corpses and reanimating them to do his bidding
>there's another xnice faggotwho the fuck did i convert?God damn I knew nice wasn't dead though. I don't know what to say about the last episode. I'm still processing it but holy shit what a beautiful piece of work. the storyboards, animation, transitions. holy shit what a great episode
>>282248291>nice wasn't dead thoughHe pretty much is though, his corpse is being paraded around
Holy fuck they made her butt ugly
>>282248271Reviving Nice goes against Shang's plans because that implicates Treeman as experimenting with Fear. Moreover, Shang wanted E-Soul and Rock taken care of. E-Soul getting out of the tournament is the last thing he wants. In the new rankings list, Nice isn't a part of Treeman anymore so that casts doubt on Shang De being behind this. There are others researching Fear, and Nice was infected even before he died.
>>282248309made of clay
>>282248309The eyelids make it worse
Pokeman
>>282248309migu if she real
>>282248309Queen and Cyan definitely seem like WIP models over being the final models.
>>282247299Nta, and while I don't like how the island mystery was handled, here's how I interpreted it.>Rock and specifically Zac are noted to have exceptional info gathering skills about a person's real identity and location, as seen from them finding X+his location during the fights>Elighter fight solidifies LL in the top 10, with either LL rising into 9th place, or Rock/YC seeing the potential for LL to rise. Zac is also clearly interested in LL.>And so the hunt commences. Rock and/or Zac search for any weaknesses/vulnerabilities for LL. Find Moon alive, with her island location>Send YC to the island in secret, hoping Moon's connection with LL will make an opportunity for LL to show up>GB knows his way around MG, and utilizes this skill to hunt down YC. He knows YC's general location, but due to YC hiding to stalk Moon, he can't find the opportunity to strike>Time passes, Commoner ads are being placed in the city>LL finally decides to check up on Moon, whose been stuck there for a while, with E-soul stalking her in the background>What we see in ep 4 commences, followed by what we see in ep 24>Spreading fear is dangerous, so just like the Ruins incident, the heros have to be quiet on what actually transpired.
>>282247107>https://x.com/t_features/status/1967030580765487159>shfiguartsdunno anon here i might skip
Are enlighter and nice the only two not raped by Fear as far as physical changes go? Even bowa had her eyes go all freaky. I wouldn't count the fear phobiaclones or Dragon Boy (since this kind of thing seems to be his shtick)
>>282248333Nintendo's gonna sue The Johnnies.
>>2822461907/10, Johnny, Loli and Queen have a lot still to explore, while their arcs didn't feel like much especially Queen's, Johnny straight up just doesn't have a character arc
>>282248305>corpseThere's a lot it can be than just a corpse anon
>>282248364we don't know what's under nice's walking carcass
>>282248396Pretty much a dead giveaway
>>2822461907.5/10 was fun with 10/10 visual spectacle but writing just completely fell flat in the second halfSequel bait finale that didn't tie up any loose ends was also disappointing
>>2822461908/10. Enjoyable to watch but just around characters too much making to disorientating.
the one thing i know? xnice is going to have a lot of saving AUS
>>282247838They’ve entered full delusion territory. He’ll leave Treeman any day now, X currently beating him by 55 million votes and counting is just a temporary setback, he’ll be the main focus of S2, the locked. PVs will fix it and so on.
>>282248339Hmm that's an answer that actually covers the plot holes in a realistic manner. It could be it. Still won't be a good or satisfying plot for me, especially all the mystery towards it just to end with the motive being wanting to rise to rank 9, only to get kicked out of the rank 10 all together. But it's not absolute bullshit like what the other anons were saying.
Just watched the new ep, I feel an unexplainable rage steaming from within...How tf X know so much? What's the point of casually expose himself in front of everyone? And he sure does have a foul mouth, but this ep also made it clear that Ahu was lying to take credits for his own good, last week people were too busy shitting on Nice so Ahu appears like a 'good' doggoAnd they just casually let Nice walk in like that, he doesn't even look alive, if he was the old Nice he would have forced a smile, fucking hell just let him die in peace, they are going to beat his corpse to make it break even more or what?Ghostblade 3D is fucking beautiful bros, I almost chant his name when they switch to his shot, 3D queen actually looks better than her 2D version imo
>>282248271Shang de would have to be an utter retard to have done this. Nice is literally cracking up at the seems and barely held together by fear. The whole world knows he committed suicide. The world knows about, and is terrified of, Fear. Any organization that signed Nice up is committing suicide themselves. It can't be any of them.
>>282248447LmfaoThis is so funny
>>282248092Stop making shit up
>>2822461909/10As much as I enjoyed the episode, I hate that it doesn't really wrap anything up and just opens up 100 new questions to be answered in a s2 that we don't even know when we'll get. Doesn't feel like a finale at all.I much preferred Ishura's EP24 style finale which would be the equivalent of a full blown zero flashback arc which answers the main questions while hyping up the upcoming tournament>>282246656Go fucking watch s2 right now its so much better than s1 and you don't need to remember anything because it's focused on new character arcs anyways
How large is the Queen Cyan age gap?
>>282248461X’s character profile states that gathering information is his hobby, plus he can literally walk through dimensions. If he wants to find out something, there’s no force in the universe that can stop him.
>>282248396Fear can affect corpses, as seen by Shang's use of it to trigger phobiaclone's power even after his death, and like >>282248414 points out, it's all but confirmed to be fear under thereThough I should clarify that I meant it not really changing him when he was first infected with it. He kinda just dissociates for half a day before ending up on that rooftop, which seems like a long time to be infected with fear and appear untouched, apart from it amplifying his OCD and whatnot.
How did Treeman think of giving Nice a female partner that looks uglier than him would surely help boost his popularity? I don't get it
>>2822484613d queen needs tweaking and cyan look weird. X needs to take them to a better rendered/modeled world
huh
At what point does zombienice punch a hole through shang's retard head
>>282247913Woah Esoul and Queen are the same age?
>>282248460One thing that preplexes me is that YC didn't immediately go kill LL once LL showed up. Was it a miscalculation? Was it because YC wanted to warn him about taking 9th place away from him, so LL should drop out as soon as possible while he still can? None of these sound like something YC would do, as he's been shown down to kill heros. Maybe he only warned him because how disconnected LL is from the rest of them compared to Johnny and GB, so he was willing to give an out for LL? But again, what a terrible choice to kill Moon then.
>Ghostblade has definitely trounced Queen>Nice is most likely gonna beat CyanLooks like waifufags have given up and are too busy voting for X now.
>male episodeskino>female episodesabsolutely atrociouswhy did they do this?even the girl in Ahu's episode was waaay better than the three bumass bitches we got
>>282248584Some people were speculating that GB pushing him made he accidentally strike Moon instead of LL. So she was just collateral damage. Still think the killing off Moon just for this plot is super weak, so I'm still coping they're hiding a lot from what actually happened over there.
>>282248414>>282248509I was talking figuratively about the real form below nice's carcass, not about what's powering him
I don't get the whole zombie thing. If Nice is corrupted he should start wrecking havoc instead of hiding himself then calmly processing to notify the Commission all to enter the tournament like this, who is behind him if not Shang de? Micky? Rock? The Commission? Is he sane? Is he capable of thinking at all? I wish I could strangle the director for leaving us hanging like this for another 2-3 years, by then I would have lost interest
>>282248611So X is their new waifu?
>>282248623Spaceship arc redeemed LuoliQueen/Cyan are still completely irrelevant I can't understand why they're so highthe 3D luoli armor looks sick too
>>282248624>Some people were speculating that GB pushing him made he accidentally strike Moon instead of LL. So she was just collateral damage. That actually sounds very plausible.But yeah, them killing Moon off was an... interesting choice. I definitely know it has to do with LL's premonition powers, but in what way, we still have no idea.
>>282248624>Some people were speculating that GB pushing him made he accidentally strike Moon instead of LL. So she was just collateral damageOkay that actually made a lot of sense! There's no point in killing Moon but if Esoul is there to eliminate LL, he should leave no witness. And Ghostblade was tracking down Esoul for revenge, what a fucking mess
>>282248654>Spaceship arc redeemed LuoliThat brat was annoying and rude to Ghostdad. Only managed to land one hit with zero damage on Nice and got stopped by Queen. She's fucking pathetic and unlikable
If heroes get their powers based off public perceptionHow did X get his powers
>>282248652
>>282248715From us
i liked the queen 3d model, cyan model is ugly
>>282248261>Who do you think revived him?Can't he just revive on his own?Like after getting corrupted with some drops of Fear, his body becomes like that
dog attack
x is such a cocky bitch i love him
i heard theyre gonna use actual polling of characters for season 2
>>282248199I can fix him!
>>282248739>X pulls Ahu along to keep him safe then toss the dog the next scene to keep the enemy awayHe is such a weird bitch
>>282248652As he should be.
>X lives in Area 51Yeah, his powers are definitely ayylmao related.
>use bunch of shitters to try to defeat top ranked heroDid they somehow forget that he defeated all other top 10 heroes in seconds?I think the evil guys are somewhat incompetent.
How come we don't know more about the Mario brothers? I liked them.
>>282248779They did tried to send his nemesis
wtf LL is rank 9
>>282248779IIRC somewhere we're told the top 10 aren't meant to be fighting this close to the tournament so I can get not sending any of them in, but if they had the ability to call in more heroes why not just have them there from the start>"X's natural enemy" also jobsIt's at least clear they don't know nearly as much about him as they'd like to think they do
>>282248817nice guys finish...
>>282248779Do you honestly think the top 10 chucklefucks would’ve done any better?
>>282248836No, I just think trying to ambush him without a plan was retarded.
>>282248817Self-inserter supports
>>282248847What plan would work on him and minimise the risk of being noticed by the public?
>>282248779top 10 heroes can't be seen fighting each other before the tournamentalso, who would they send?>queen: not evil>cyan: not evil>LL: not evil>Johny: useless>ghost blade: got out of the killing business after his employer tried to kill him>nice: he was (presumably) dead>the dog: CEO wouldn't ask that of him>loli: not evilthe only viable options would be e-fraud and dragon boy but DB is part of the top. 10 and e-fraud seemingly didn't know he was kicked until last minute?
>>2822461907.5/10. Has potential, some arcs were great, some were crap.
>>282248861I'm not the evil guy trying to kill him.
>>2822461907/104 for Nice, 3 for Ghostblade, the rest and director can go fuck themselves
>>282248909ok Rock
>>282246213Which male hero has a gay costume design? Is it the same essence as Batman and Superman are gay cause they are only wearing panties?
Okay, so, having reached the end of Season 1, I can say it was a very decompressed show. The final part works, but from the beginning of Cyan's arc to the beginning of the cave incident, there are several repetitions.Cyan and Queen are pointless arcs because all the main information (and lore) they provide is also repeated in the Loli and Ghostblade arc. The two heroines have excellent designs, but they were poorly exploited by the writers. Queen in particular was perhaps the worst arc, with very few noteworthy events and a big, well-animated, but sterile fight.Loli is cute and well-written, but her arc was rather silly. And the idea of having the same event seen from different perspectives also decompressed the story's pacing a bit.Oh right, the fight with X was nice, but It was way too long. There was no need for the duel in the bar. They could have used that screen time for something else instead of repeating more Aura farming.In the end, I expected it to be just a list of character preludes, but even the revelation from X isn't that necessary, it's something that any attentive viewer had already understood and the information that really interests us hasn't been revealed, so in the end we're beating around the bush a bit without really going towards it.E-Soul is confirmed to be a murderer and Ghostblade magically appears to save Ling. Lame, although we will surely see what happened at the beginning of S2
What was with that ending sequence?
>>282248928It's obvious Ghostdad tracking down E-soul for revenge, he doesn't care about LL
ALL HAIL TO THE X TO THE ONE WHO NEVER BLEEDS
>>282248936X's private MV
>>282248530it worked for Linit didn't work for Nice because he's gay
>>282248947What about Nice? I don't think he can bleed anymore>>282248952They're still acting in front of media
>>282248943The result is the same, even if he indirectly helped Ling.
>>282248530Moon was pretty popular, I don't understand what you're smoking.
>>282247600>song starts playing at the beginning of a fightkek, I'm a sucker for these kind of chuuni shit
>>282248996Too much fujoshit rotting their brain
>>282249039Implying fujos ever had a brain to be rotted.
>>282249039fujos somehow own the combination of being aggressively obnoxious and wrong.
besides LL Nice and Esoul are the rest of the heroes at the same placement they were before?
Gotta admit, the LL hero costume being all white sucks. He should have kept the black on him
>>282247452Frankly, I think Ghostblade fighting E-Soul is just a reference to the past. What really happened was probably along the lines of E-Soul shooting Moon, going "Well, can't win them all" and running away at super-speed, whipping beer bottles at the Commoner and giving him the finger as he futilely attempts to give chase.
what the fuck did he mean? cyan made him X?
So how long does the poll even last for, until season 2 releases?
>>282249111liked the way it looked mid transformation
>>282248541To tell the truth, it clearly seems like a deception to me. You see the cards, but not the villain who appears later when the girl is off-screen. Also, the girl has an X in her tie, and the sequence seems to be set after the tournament with Ling and Nice fight against the shadows.Overall, I like this setting, but I'm starting to get tired of this director's bullshit.
>>282249133you guys really can't understand figurative speech uh?
>>282249133he's saying that, from his point of view, giving the coin to Cyan is what started it all and got him involved, but in reality, as he later admits, things had already started much earlier in time.
>>282248364Nice's boss was also perfectly fine, under his toad power armor.
>>282248644Nice has been resurrected more popular than ever, he probably still wants to be the No. 1 hero. Imagine if you died, came back as a zombie, but now everyone loves you.
>last ep is X NO MORE HIDING IN THE SHADOWSKINO
>>282248966Make it clear, otherwise twittertards and ledditors will come up with a bunch of delusional theories about LL being Ghostdad's son later
>>282248507About 3-4 years
>>282249117it's a fight that takes place right on the beach.E-Soul Track Ling, Ghostblade Track E-Soul.
i don't get it. why he appear in work mode at the end
The reveal that Zero was just a 15 year old kid when he was deified by the public just makes the whole Dawnfall incident even sadder. No shit he couldn’t handle the responsibility and went off the deep end.
>>282249248>T. Speed watcher
>>282249248Symbolisms. His work shift is over, which coincides with the end of the episode.
is X not going to have any powers during the start of the tournament? I thought they were trying to imply his power has a time constraint of only being useable during his perceived off hours.
>>282248996>Moon was pretty popularIn world, yeah but doesn't matter, she doesn't look half as good as Queen. Appearance aside, her fans are pathetic losers while Nice fans are mostly women. Making them a couple is the stupidest thing ever, it will just make their fans disappoint, LL is the most obvious example of hating Nice for stealing his idol. And the top 10 heroes who are higher rank than both of them are all single virgins >>282249039Sorry for always winning, you can keep replying to yourself to feel better
>>282249267>Speed watchers everywhere
>>282249291What the fuck are you writing?
>>282249224Well E-soul is still alive so obviously he went 2-0 against Ghostblade
>>282249200Everyone still loves him before he died, the problem is he already lost the drive to live, and Nice always put on a facade to meet the fans expectation, if I was him, knowing how I look like a monster, I wouldn't appear before the public like this
>>282249322it's irrelevant. It was a surprise attack. It failed, and he retreated. End of story.
>>282243516Do X's powers involve skipping through time or trading time for space or whatever? Time seems to pass really quickly when he uses them>Phobiaclone fight went from noon to night >Raid on X's house lasted until 8:00 am, presumably from a bit earlier than midnight
>>282249291If I was this retarded I'd just kill myself damn
>>282249347If the final sequence is set in the future, it's possible that Nice will have his own healing arc.
>>282249305Not sure what you’re trying to imply here. We have an official timeline right here: >>282246512. Zero became a god at 15 and went completely nuts when he was 18.
>>282249363You mean his own gluing-himself-together arcThis zombie Nice feels like he's beyond saving, unless someone gives him an instant death to put him to rest
>>282249368Rock was right all along, fuck HAC, time to res Zero
>>282249357>Samefagging againThat basic rules in (asian) celeb world, brainletDating = Scandal = Losing fans
>>282249395>faith in himself, restored... somehow
>>282249351He just hides in whatever dimension he wants then come out at the right time. If he can time travel, he should have gone to the stadium at 8am right after they raid his home
I hope this blows up and we get actual finding for cool air like this in the future. I may not have liked the puppet movies but I can't deny the creativity of them. Stuff like this is really what the industry needs whether it's from a Chinese source or a Japanese source or Korean one I just want to see good shit made
>>282249432I really want to believe Nice could have a happy ending where he has no pressure with the hero rankings and can do whatever he wants
>>28224914231 October I guess, all the official code cards will expire by then
>>282249486He's too popular, the fact that they saved him means the character is here to stay. Besides, he's still a character halfway between good and evil. Smile's arc is where he chooses to help Smile by doing a good deed, but it backfires.He's not lost and can still find redemption.
>>282249174In the Japanese dub he also says “Fear, alongside Trust, became a chain reaction leading each one of us towards a predetermined future”. This then ties to his “I’m going to defy fate” proclamation at the end. It seems X knows the future to some extent and is planning to change it.
>>282249486If the fans believe he can pull himself together is he really and go pull himself together? If we do get an arc of him restoring his humanity or something along those lines I'm curious just how far his fans loyalty will be explored. If we say we want him to restore his humanity, can he really?
>>282249514He has access to different dimensions, maybe he didn't see all the events up to our but just the after math.
>>282249508Chinafans are saying Lh0 keeps Nice to sell goods then makes him a stepping corpse for others to shine like he did with ss1
>>282249483You mean Thunderbolt Fantasy?>>282249518I'm a Nicefag, but I can be unbiased. I really do want him to have an arc of self discovery though. Let the man find out who he really is.
I like to believe that we are all X in our own sort of way.
I can discover Nice instead
>>282249553Who's Lh0 and ss1?
>>282249553The point is that this show, while assuredly rushed about the important things and slothful about the useless, is quite careful to respect the foreshadowings. For example, X's entire PV was filmed in the dog episode, which could have easily been ignored or done differently in the show.So if they show us the sequence with the heroes fighting female Zero and a "smiling Nice" between them, it will probably happen.
>>282249580Yeah we can change reality by jumping in front of truck-kun
>>282249598You can if Truck-kun's trust values go up high enough
>>282249580I'm a salaryman so yeah he's literally me
>>282249248quitting the tournament
He's so unserious, I love him more now
>>282248875There's no point in sending top 10 heroes cause they are preparing for the tournament in the next morning. Also Queen and DB already jobbed against X once
>>282249662>BUT HE KILLED LE WHOLESOME CHUNGUS SMILEDragonboy making redditors seethe just makes me love him more
>>282249665>Also Queen and DB already jobbed against X onceYeah I don't see anyone standing a chance against X unless he throws
>>282249662I like how smug he was when Rock bailed him out
Ahu needs more art.
>chinks made a better show than anything nips have put out in the past 5 yearsthank abe lord of mysteries and dragon raja are such shit or id be worried glorious nippon was in trouble.
So does X's power comes Fear/Trust or he's just blatantly outside of the system
>>282249562Yes that showAs for being unbiased, I also think it would be nice to see that. If we get heros consumed by fear why can we not see heroes overcoming that? X wants to change the commission. What would change the commission the most is by showing fear isn't a death sentence. In reality fear can consume you and have you do awful actions but fear can also help you stay alive, and do good things. If I have a fear of a patient dying I can out all the stops to save them (hero like) but being afraid of burning my hand or being careful crossing a street is beneficial to my well-being. But maybe I'm just over thinking it. I just feel like if nice was going to wholly be succumbed to fear he would have done it by now. Maybe he'll be that universe's venom or some shit
Hang on, wasn’t she always shown smiling before? Wonder what happened.
>>282249685Right? I just double down even more>>282249700>I like how smug he was when Rock bailed him outSame
Dragon Boy's superpower: [Overload] - The more severe the attacks he receives, the higher the amount of energy he can store and release.[Uninstall] - Releases all the energy he has absorbed at once for a one-hit kill (But it needs a super long buildup)
I'm the only one that is disappointed they dragged this mystery for so long only to reveal the Moon was killed for such a boring reason?
>>282249719I figure plain trust. his power is stylish and trust puts a great deal of value on that.
So who else was thinking the same thing>>282249746Also shit I forgot to mention we see shand being able to 'remove' fear so who's to say he didn't experiment on nice?
>>282249746I was thinking Nice actually might be a reference to Nezha. Both committed suicide due to identity issues and the pressure of their position. Both were resurrected, through an 'evil force' yet are destined to ultimately regain humanity and assist in 'fighting demons' (Something that the latest PV has shown him doing alongside the hero cast)In Nice's position they could be metaphorical demons, too.Either way I think we'll see his 'true' resurrection and the restoration of his 'divine' powers, so to speak.
>>282246033Hopefully they don't dub S2 in Japanese so I can see weebs seething that they have to watch the rest in Chinese
>>282246267Agreed
>>282249807That's an interesting take on it and would be nice to see happen. Based off what we see happen I feel like there is so many ways to theorize what happened to nice. I'm really glad they started off with him and didn't throw him to the wayside once he jumped but instead won't him into the narrative. Reminds me of orb a bit, but definitely done better here.
>>282249824>He thinks people don't watch it in Chinese and JapaneseI may not be a big fan of tonal languages but the vas here are actually pretty nice and sound good. Less over standard dramatic and cringe compared to other series
I'm really glad I didn't get spoiled or let my self get spoiled .what a great episode.
>>282249778This is my main criticism of this show. It doesn't really focus on the important things and creates an anthology of characters (cannon fodder, by the way) that nobody cares about.there should have been fewer characters and more focus on them. Queen and Cyan concepts could have been merged into one character and it would have worked better in terms of growth and development.Loli and the Johnnies don't even deserve an arc and could have remained secondary characters in Ghostblade arc. The dog is a nice episode, but even objectively it is useless, its only purpose is to give X an excuse to do his monologue.
>>282249719Outside the system, as he was X before anyone knew him.
>>282246763This honestly sounds bad, reading the premise I guess it's more about ways to control belief though.Is this realized in any interesting way or is it just super heroes slapped on the normal world like usual?
>>282249888Every single time this comes up on /a/ it's EOP retards whining that they can't stand Chinese or telling everyone to watch the Japanese dub for no reason. It's so retarded and I say that as a Japanese speaker who doesn't know much Mandarin.
>>282249824NOPE, for goodness sake, if they take away the Jap, I'll just watch it in English which is excellent by the way.
>>282249351We don't know the details, but his theme states he can bend space AND time, i figure that's why he has speedster reaction time, and why in some of his fight scenes the enemies seem to be in slow motion, the music also slows down, he is bending time around him.
>>282249945That's just because they're racists trying to thinly veil it. If I can watch nip dub I will. If not I guess I'll watch in Chinese. It's not that hard considering we're all reading subtitles unless we speak either language. At that point just mute it kek
>makes the car realso it's definitely reality manipulation
>>282249969Another thing I'm wondering is about the source of his powers.Could his powers actually be an extension of Tarot's?
Is there any good fanservice in this show, some hot love interest for the MC? Thinking of watching this after all the hype on /a/.
>>282250050There are many mcs, some have love interests and some don’t
>>282250050No, now go watch isekai #30178.
>>282250011Considering we saw him performing in a circus, I'd say he's the equivalent of Zatanna. Except the DC character has a smaller scope; he can do whatever he wants.
>>282250011He can travel between dimensions and bring/send other things to other dimensions, that includes traveling/retrieving/sending from 2D to 3D. In the episode we see him first snap himself and ahu into the 2D dimension where the car is, then retrieve it back to the 3D dimension where the jobbers are.Or at least that's my interpretation. However we do see him materialize a sword of thin air in his trailer if i remember correctly, so who knows.
>>282250050The show has a lot of fan service but the straight male fan service only pops up in the first arc
I dont think Cyan deserves all the good things she has
>>282250050>the MC>TheLol
Genuinely excited for Nine.The power of creation (guessing similar to Green Lantern, Quasar, etc) and he uses it to create nuts, bolts and other maintenance gear that he keeps under his coat on his belt? What a lad.
>>282250118well , she has the power of luck,
>>282250133>the girl has glasses okeey... so... how this work?>>282249747Does she pull her hair back like X when she fights?
>>282250193>>282250193>>282250193
>>282250074no that was how Ahu saw him, he wasn't in a circus
>>282250175She wears them just to look cool
>>282250213Nope, I don't agree. He actually saw him performing in a show because the scene is done in gray colors and he's not wearing a tie, so it's a scene from his the past, not a metaphor.
>>282250050You decide who will be your MC and make them your waifu
>>282250440Pls grow a brain
>>282250470It will be confirmed by the anime itself you will be happy to be anonymous that can run away.
>X is just the editor of the showBRAVO NOLAN
>>282250133Why did she have an X tie before the current X got his powers? Is both she and Nine, who himself is featured among the other X's in the original opening, former X's before Smile took over the spot?
>>282243516Do you need to watch the other stuff, a CGI thing IIRC. Or is this slice of the franchise standalone?
>>282251434This one is a standalone show
