>As an independent musician, Sawano Hiroyuki has maintained a long-term partnership with SACRA MUSIC under Sony Music. Leveraging the resource advantages and synergistic effects of the Sony Group, Yuki Kajiura was successfully invited to take charge of composing four key tracks for 'Convex Hero X' — the main theme 'JEOPARDY' running throughout the series, the opening song 'INERTIA', the ending song 'KONTINUUM', and the hero Nais's theme song 'PARAGON'. The music closely resonates with the plot, bursting with intense emotional tension at critical moments.

They even spent extra money on Nice's theme song and PV animation to bait people, worth it I guess?

He's right. Most of the characters look like they were made to appeal to fujos. I guess this is a strategy to attract the female audience for the show, but in the end it only brings in the cancer to your fanbase like fujoshi shippers.

His affiliation is ??? now so he doesn't belong to Treeman anymore

>>282307016
So has DOS with Graphitti King (who looks eerily like Wreck). What would Shang De gain from having to reveal to the world that he's been experimenting with corpses via injecting Fear into them? That would make him a social pariah at the minimum.
>>
>>282307136
Graffiti King probably has always been looking like that, not because of Fear
>>
>>282307206
Overall, he looks like Smile did after he died and had Fear overtake him. Also, he has Wreck's chest Jewel, Wreck's outfit outline, including the shoulder pads, chest/waist fabric lining, and wrist cuffs, and has the same spear design as Wreck's but in "Fear" form. That's too many similarities to have not been Wreck's resurrected corpse.
>>
>>282307328
>Wreckfujos conspiracy time
So Treeman dumps Wreck from his failed villain performance and DOS recruits him as a hero. He also didn't trying to get back at Treeman but obediently worked for DOS for months. And he also magically has a different set of power.

>resurrected corpse
Idk why Wreckfags tends to believe that he's dead. He's just irrelevant to the plot, hence no screentime. His remaining use is to tell us how X and Nice meet for the first time I guess?

Wreck supposedly fell to his death after he learned what happened to Nice. Regardless of whether or not he died, there no proper indication that it concluded with Treeman dumping him, nor coming back to them. He disappeared after he fell.
Also, do we know what Wreck's powers were truly? Because it seemed that from the Nice trailer, he could change the structural space and dimension of his surroundings, thereby "corrupting" them. I guess he can change the structural space that he takes via becoming Graffiti art? But that one feels inconclusive to me.
>DOS recruits him as a hero
For all we know, he only works for DOS in name only while technically working for Spotlight Organization. We don't truly know if he's actually a "hero" per se.
>Wreckfags
I'm indifferent towards him, but his outfit looks eerily similar to Wreck's with the added Fear flair that resembled Smile's death, plus x's on his eye area to indicate someone is dead.

>obediently worked for DOS for months
more, Phobiaclone did not have free will after he died. Phobiaclone was a respectable hero prior to his death, yet now he's working for Shang De in the shadows. Hell, Phobiaclone's name changed to Black Clad after he was resurrected.
So who's to say this isn't the case for Wreck?
>>
>>282308878
So the guy in the tank was Split, not E-Soul? Did we ever see what he looked like beforehand?
>>
>>282308551
>Wreck supposedly fell to his death
Yeah that's parts of the script

>do we know what Wreck's powers were truly?
Yes he can cause 'distortion', hence the name 'Wreck', it's clearer in nip (キング・デストラクション) and chink (破坏王) versions, literal translation of 'King of Destruction'

>For all we know, he only works for DOS in name only while technically working for Spotlight Organization
Rewatch the ep will do you good. The Commission asks those hero agencies to send their 'heroes' after X, and Mickey sent order to Graffiti King directly, not through Queen's dad

>his outfit looks eerily similar to Wreck's
Well I can't deny the similarities, they even add a fucking broken heart, I will just call it lazy design for now, unless they can retcon how DOS granted Wreck a new power in the future
Fear experiment is still an underground thing so there's no way Mickey would reveal to the Commission and other rival companies he has something weird like that at home
>>
>>282308878
There you go, Black Clad was created with Fear value and Split's ABILITIY

>>282308941
Black Clad isn't Split, it only has Split's ability, it's better to think of it as a tube baby born from Split's cells. Black Clad can do dirty jobs and understand simple orders mean they have their own mind with limited intelligence

Graffiti and Distortion are two different powers and his intelligence seems to work normally so

It says Shand created Black Clad as the *henchmen* of Treeman Group with Fear Value and Split's ability. It doesn't say he created Black Clad from Split, it says Black Clad was made a henchmen worthy of being in the Treemen Group using Split. It's not clear how separate of a being Black Clad is from the Split ability. Can he survive without that power? We're not sure.

Yeah I'm sure BC isn't the successful result from that all that failed experiments using Split's corpse. It's totally a coincidence that BC has Split's ability. At this point, I can't be bothered talking with a brainlet retard anymore, whatever puts you sleep at night I guess

Anon, I'm talking about Split's ability. You stated he was only revived using that ability. I'm not talking about his corpse, I'm talking about whether Black Clad is only Split's ability.

>Rewatch the ep will do you good. The Commission asks those hero agencies to send their 'heroes' after X, and Mickey sent order to Graffiti King directly, not through Queen's dad
I was thinking in name only in a similar way as to how Glimmer Labs some were working for HAC in association/funding only, benefitting from real-time intel without reprehension, since they also worked for Spotlight at the same time, ordering DJ Shindig to destroy Fear iirc. Regardless, do we know just how much does Mickey do for Spotlight members where he hides the terrorist association, and takes them under his wing to work at his beck and call?

>how the fuck did rock know that shang chao will wear the helmet at that moment instead of yang chen?
I'm gonna copy the post I made back in May about this, with a little bit of tweaking:
I think that the assassin was supposed to go up to Yang and attempt to kill him, just as he did with Pomelo, while Yang proves his worth to Rock that he can be strong and fast enough to overpower the assassin's bullets coming at him (and if not, then Yang was too weak for Rock, and Rock moves on to his next e-soul/zero candidate). Shang was never calculated to be part of it. So the assassin and his brother paid the price when Shang De's son died, since he's also the MG's founder's grandson. Rock killed the two brothers to bury the evidence, but alas, Shang De probably caught on, hence Treeman and Nice was formed.
>>
>>282320183
zero was actually a top hero unlike the doll who was outdone by a dog and his replacement
>>
>>282320599
>overpower the assassin's bullets coming at him (and if not, then Yang was too weak for Rock,
Really? we saw e soul beating thugs and punching a car before they were ordered to kill him, i don't think he stood a chance and rock surely knows that, killing shang chao is so perfect to rock goal that it's absurd he didn't order it.
>>
>>282320765
>we saw e soul beating thugs and punching a car before they were ordered to kill him
But not bullets. Remember, he is supposed to be pretty fast with his electricity powers. This was just another test of power.
>killing shang chao is so perfect to rock
Why would he purposefully kill MG's founder's grandson? Killing someone who's in a high position politically with a bunch of connections is a recipe for disaster. Hell, Shang De wasn't even a coworker rival he needed to overcome, since Shand had Treeman by 34AC and wasn't as focused on actual superheros, and Yang Cheng became E-soul at 36AC via MG who was more focused around actual superheros.
>>
>>282321101
it feels forced like rock spent months years maybe on yang it would be a waste to kill him just if he missed once
>Why would he purposefully kill MG's founder's grandson
because simply an assassination attempt wouldn't be enough to turn him against old e soul his hero
To me turning yang cheng against old e-soul is far more important than a stupid test to see if he can dodge a bullet
>>
>>282291855

>>
>>282321248
>rock spent months years maybe on yang it would be a waste to kill him just if he missed once
Yet he threw him to the side once Dragon Boy became a far more viable option to groom. Also, from the FOMO intel we got from the last episode, Yang Cheng wasn't the only 0 trust value candidate Rock had in mind.
>because simply an assassination attempt wouldn't be enough to turn him against old e soul his hero
And yet Rock buried the evidence/brothers haphazardly, causing Shang De to find it soon enough. It was obvious when the plan went awry, unless you want to somehow claim that he wanted to get found out by the Treeman CEO?

Like, which one is more probable: Rock doing a test of power that wasn't deadly, just as he did when Pomelo was involved, to make Yang think OG E-soul is coming after him. Yet, Rock's plan had gone horribly wrong after killing someone who's politically significant. But luckily, the plan was somewhat kept on the right track, with some downsides, like being found out by Chao's father quickly.
Or, he knew exactly when Chao Shang cosplayed E-soul, and he knew that he would cosplay E-soul, for some reason, and told the assassins to kill the person wearing the E-soul outfit. Meanwhile, neither brother knew that they killed Chao at the time, as proclaimed when they were sinking to their death. And Rock was burying the evidence quickly because it was totally planned. And gaining...a Yang Cheng who was already mad at OG E-soul because they sued his ass? I guess we also get the result of Yang thinking OG E-soul is coming after him, but the first option also did that.

>>
>>282321641
I don't think Yang Chang was ever a candidate to become the next Zero. Rock just wanted E-Soul out of the picture for multiple reasons and there is nothing like demeaning someone you despise by spitting on their very memory by turning them into a tool
>>
>>282321641
>Yet he threw him to the side
there's a difference between doing that and outright killing him
>Yang Cheng wasn't the only 0 trust value candidate Rock had in mind.
Yes but he chose and spent months/years on
him
>And yet Rock buried the evidence/brothers haphazardly
it doesn't look like he was panicking or anything he was acting all keikaku doori
> that wasn't deadly
But it was he ordered his assassination unlike pomelo which was just kidnapping, like they could've sneaked shot him

and btw shang chao with his connections and involvement in the hero world could've figured out rock identity and figure out it wasn't e soul that was coming after him which will be a problem for rock
>he knew exactly when Chao Shang cosplayed E-soul, and he knew that he would cosplay E-soul,
That's why changing rock order to kill shang chao makes far more sense than all of this
>but the first option also did that.
Not to the point he's willing to straight up kill him

also let's say shang chao is still alive and yang killed e-soul why would he join rock and leave shang chao? there's no reason and if suddenly rock revealed his identity to him he might actually question it because his mental state wouldn't be as bad without shang chao death which he mainly blames himself for
>>
>>282321894
Anon, the iconic "Zero never truly perished" line came directly before the scene showing Rock looking at the candidate screen. The difference between the two scenes is less than 10 seconds. There was no dialogue uttered between those two moments. It went like this:
X snaps fingers as he says "Zero didn't truly perished", Zac and Rock shake hands, and Rock looking at the screen with a whole bunch of candidates, including Yang Cheng.

What do you think this entailed?!

I liked it but the Moon cliffhanger really fizzled out. Lin Ling just went bitch and dropped the issue offscreen? Just like that? We still don't even know how E-Soul got there, now we have to buy that Ghostblade was there too? They need to deal with it in the 2nd season. It's top scuffed as is.

What else can he do? Treeman and the Commission will just cover the truth to prevent giving birth to a new Zero. On a side note, Shang probably promised LL that he could have his revenge as long as he stayed with Treeman.

>We still don't even know how E-Soul got there, now we have to buy that Ghostblade was there too?
You think DB magically knew Smile's whereabouts despite him already concealed his identity when visiting X at night? Meanwhile Ghostblade is a fucking assassin, his best quality is stalking/tailing his target.

We're talking about the man who threw hands against a supervillain as an unpowered civilian nerd, just to save his waifu. It wasn't even her that time. Now you expect me to believe he'd just gormlessly stand around after the real (actually real) (for real real this time) Moon was murdered in front of him?

>You think DB magically knew Smile's whereabouts despite him already concealed his identity when visiting X at night? Meanwhile Ghostblade is a fucking assassin, his best quality is stalking/tailing his target.
It was a random deserted Galapagos turtle island in the middle of nowhere that her portal gun randomly sent her to.

So he didn't kill Yang Cheng, a person with significant public image and has connections to MG, even though Rock has no use for him and can easily be killed by someone else Rock has been grooming to make sure said person makes it to the top 10.
Maybe that can tell you that he didn't mean to kill Chao Shang, another person with significant public image with connections to MG, just so he can get someone who Rock has been grooming into the top 10?
OG E-soul battle was not planned to be deadly by Rock by the way, but by Yang Cheng himself. Rock was even adamantly against it because the R&D of Yang's equipment was inferior and he will likely lose.
>it doesn't look like he was panicking or anything
I said haphazardly because Shang De found the evidence right away, not because he was calm or panicking.
>But it was he ordered his assassination
Apologies, meant to say “automatically deadly" as in, doing this guarantees death of someone, which Rock never did up to this point
>That's why changing rock order to kill shang chao makes far more sense than all of this
He told the brothers to kill the fraudulent E-soul in the car, threw the gun, and went on his merry way. No order to kill Chao Shang.

I think people need to understand that there is very likely a certain amount of staff manipulation going on with the polls and the characters they want near the top will remain near the top. LL arc was very solid and I would say Episode 4 remains a high point of the series for me.

I would've thought so too but it feels like they utterly fucked him in the finale.

>>282323125
LL arc is so forgetable because it only has irrelevant stories and characters
Even ep 4 can easily be outshine by ep 7 with the match between two E-soul, then Cyan bore fest, then Queen vs Bowa is also quite impressive animation wise
>>
>>282323178
As kino as E-Soul arc was I still think it's a waste the two of them never even talked. Not even during the fight.
>>
>>282323153
24 was all about X at the end of the day and the problem is that a large bulk of 24 is just X flexing on everyone. We do get some interesting reveals with Zero, but the fact is that for a season finale a large part of 24 was pointless.
I don't understand why some people think they are done with LL and that he won't get anything in season 2 when the guy was always the "secret" character.
>>
>>282323178
>LL arc is so forgetable because it only has irrelevant stories and characters
This. He also has 0 relation to the rest of the cast and his only superpower is hitting things really hard. E-Soul is out of the tournament so he just lost his one motivation to win.
>>
>>282323214
>I don't understand why some people think they are done with LL and that he won't get anything in season 2 when the guy was always the "secret" character.
IMO it's because his treatment in the finale means they'll have to go backwards and "fix" his appearance there instead of being able to go forwards. It'll be playing catch up and redeem in S2 when they really didn't have to.

Samefag, because I just realized upon reading that post again that it's even more dumb.
>shang chao with his connections and involvement in the hero world could've figured out rock identity and figure out it wasn't e soul that was coming after him which will be a problem for rock
Shang De is even more powerful and has deeper connections to the hero world as the fucking Treeman CEO. Remember he was already pulling strings to get Wreck and Nice hero-villain duo the year prior.
Who do you think would be more motivated to find Rock's evil plans: the college kid who successfully helped launch a friend's hero career and has been looking at a bunch of agencies to work in, not just Treeman. Or, the father whose kid fucking died under very mysterious circumstances?
>also let's say shang chao is still alive and yang killed e-soul
Not Rock's plan, that was Yang's
>why would he join rock and leave shang chao?
Chao Shang has been looking for internships at a whole bunch of places, who's to say they can't come at a package deal to work for MG?
>there's no reason and if suddenly rock revealed his identity to him he might actually question it because his mental state wouldn't be as bad
OG E-soul has been suing Yang Cheng, or anyone really, who threatens to take OG E-soul spotlight from him, or makes fun of him. You don't think he can manipulate Yang into thinking he's doing an inside job to get rid of the filth shutting others down?

Lin Ling and Ahu are the only true heroes in the current top 10.

And DB and GB were able to overcome fear. The director also confirmed that overcoming Fear depends on the person and how much they can hold before going beserk. LL ain't special

>>
>>282291855
yes
>>
>>282323426
DB had X intervene to literally cool him off.

GB had a sluggish mind during his fight with fear until it was defeated externally. He tanked it, but didn't defeat it internally.

LL defeated it entirely internally. Then came back to his original non-fear form, just to fight the toad ex-boss.

Thus far, everyone but LL held for a while before going berserk until theat had been extinguished externally. LL is the only one who defeated it completely internally without external interference whatsoever.

Yeah, doesn't change the fact that GB was resistance the entire time or at least wasn't affected. For DB it was never confirmed his transformation is Fear induced. It's clear he can turn it off and on based on the PV's. LL was able to overcome Fear so all three of them have shown resistant but that doesn't make them special or anything. It essentially confirms what the director said. How Fear affects you depends on the individual

I don't think he was actually thinking of killing him so much as exaggerating his dialogue for comedic effect. The first time he properly confronted X, he was willing to just talk to him to say he shouldn't be competing, and was surprised that the commission was coming after X to kill. Meanwhile, Ahu was reiterating he just wanted him off the tournament and was so flabbergasted that they're willing to kill X immediately that he changed sides.

That, or Ahu's stupid and thinks the commission killing the guy instead of him doing the deed is a sin that can only be repaid by teaming up with your target idk.

One thing I'd like to point out since you're obviously a braindead. The researcher group will be accompanied by at least 2 heroes, so sending only a fodder like Black Clad is like hoping the mission to be a failure

Rewatch Ahu ep would help you realize if Nice didn't stop Black Clad there, the only shit Ahu could have pulled out is his own innards

Retard, now you sound no different from a fujo lmao
Then after saving Nice, X shouldn't stand above the bridge to wait for Nice to come to, X could literal just teleport himself to the corpse or vice versa, also X shouldn't know the corpse's identity since it was still covered in Fear.

He didn't, the 4 agencies were in that table where it showed X's identity on the screen.

So now that Nice is ahead of Lucky Cyan, just like X being ahead of LL. It will now be impossible to catch up, and beat the simps for X and Nice who will use all there time and all there votes of each day to keep putting votes in for said character. Well until all the troll show up right before the voting end to vote for dragon boy, just because he last place to mess up the voting completely

Yes, I think that very possible because troll do stuff even if it waste a crap ton of time because they think it funny. The other type does it for malice because they hate something or hate the fact someone else is happy/enjoying something that they want to ruin it. Some of those people even use a crap ton of AI/auto bot account to do it and I don't know how well put together this poll is, against AI and bots attacks. I have sadly seen poll just like this be destroy time and time again because of bots and trolls

I dunno if I wanted to see more of him cause every time Nice is on screen, it's just suffering time but out of all the heroes introduced from the start, only Nice and Ghostdad were different from my first impression. I thought both of them were kinda cringe based on how they were promoted, but they ended up being the most interesting characters.

Then there's X. At first, I thought he'd be super cool, like that 'Throughout Heaven and Earth, I alone am the honored one' vibe. But turns out, he's just a lazy, low-energy guy with a bitchy personality. Kind of a letdown.

I'm ok with being wrong then about Lin Ling and OG Nice in the long run. But at this point I can't really see Nice as anything more than a total fraud. A fake relationship with Moon. His own arch nemesis is just his bro from their idol days. Only thing I can see being authentic about him was apparently his desire to an hero in the end.
>Just a head up
Thanks, although going by the thread I can expect the next mini-arc to be a high water mark which I'm excited about.

This is the first hero X thread I've posted in. I don't have much to say about Moon since she got fucked by public consensus restricting her power to only warping to Nice. I wouldn't call her a fraud for the same reasons I did for Nice. Like yeah she was faking a relationship for 3 years but her hero work didn't seem based on an initial lie like Nice's was.

Is Ahu actually competing in the tournament? He didn't stand on those floating podiums as the clock reached 0.
>>
>>282334838
>I wouldn't call her a fraud
But she is though?
She signed the contract for a fake partnership to boost her own popularity too, she was originally a travel blogger so I don't think she ever did any heroic works, her role is to be a damsel in distress anyway so she's probably has no real fighting experience, in the newest ep fans didn't even believe she's dead cause they scripted her death 2 times already kek
If you mean 'initial lie' is the company staged everything and created a fake nemesis for Nice, well, Nice never had a choice to begin with but his abilities are his own, just keep watching
>>
>>282335237
Then he would lost his remaining arm, anon
>>
>>282335542
He is, X teleported him there so Ahu can arrive on time, you need pay more attention in the background, each docking port will have that hero's name in both chinese and english, and fans will also chant the hero's name from outside the arena
>>
>>282291855
I am 2 episodes in and it's been decent so far but it's definitely not anime. Don't know how to explain this but this doesn't feel like anime. There is something so Japanese about anime that's completely missing. And I watched it in Japanese.

I heard there was an early hint that Nice was alive, so I rewatched the episode to find it. It turned out to be a tweet that flashed on screen for only about 0.3 seconds during the bar scene where X and Ahu are drinking
>"I saw Nice flying around in the sky during the day, and now at night I see X zipping past my window... Yeah, I'm putting in my resignation tomorrow—I’ve been working so much overtime I’m literally hallucinating..."

So that means Nice was revived at least two days before the tournament started. He probably flew to the Commission, and they placed him in E-soul's spot!!!
>>
>>282338197
But he stood in the hallway, not the floating podium? Like sure, X teleported him there to get him to the tournament, and Ahu said he was competing the day prior, but he never sat on the floating podium itself as soon as he saw civilian X in the middle and the clocked reached 0. Who's to say he decided not to compete at the last moment?
>>
>>282339402
If I'm not mistaken, Shang De looks surprised at this tweet and forwards it.
Possible hint that it wasn't him reviving Nice but someone else. Maybe Spotlight.
>>
>>282339807
Who cares? If the dog wants to quit, it can quit, even FOMO CEO has no expectation for it. The only character it might be able to defeat is Lil Johnny anyway
>>
>>282339402
I think he was revived longer than that so he or whoever is controlling him told him to come out of his hiding and join the tournament, but why though? Nice has enough with this hero bs agenda so it's probably not his own will, then I can only think of Rock who wants E-soul out so he won't have to fight Ghostblade. Spotlight could also be sending him over to support MG heroes
>>
>>282340065
Sure, you do you about whether you care for him. I just want to learn what sort of powers he can use in the tournament since he never transformed in the show proper. But if he isn't in the tournament, then it'll probably be a mystery for a longer duration during s2.

X, GB and Nice have no connection to any agencies in the recap.
>>
>>282340904
I guess the big question is who bought Nice back then since Shang is the only one we know who is playing around with Fear and Nice's crack imply that it was fear that brought him back.
>>
>>282337711
I only have limited context at this juncture but the way I understand the timeline of events from Episode 2
>Moon signs with the company
>does her travelogue thing
>gets enough popularity to gain her powers
>became a minor hero (no actual costume is shown at this time, no hero work is actually shown)
>Has encounter with OG Nice in stopping a car from crashing into kids
>New persona is built around romantic pairing, her powers then change
>three years go by
>episode 1 happens

Given she knows about Nice being a corporate drone it's entirely possible that she was complicit in the car event. But I think it's at least likely she was just in the wrong place at the right time and the corporation just ran with public sentiment. It's unclear at this juncture but sure, she was already an agent of theirs at that point which isn't a good look.

Actually, it struck me as weird how Shang De and Miss J were shown having what looks like a serious meeting, not actually watching the tournament. To be fair, Shang probably never believed LL could beat top-tier heroes—let alone X—but if they were really watching the livestream, Miss J would likely be looking at the screen with him. Instead, she's standing there like she's reporting a failure to her boss
>>
>>282340996
you forgot Queen's dad who also plays with Fear
His body's change could be a direct result of that drop of Fear that touched his skin, a process that started after he died
>>
>>282339402
>>282339995
>>282341284
Holy shit, now it makes sense why LL glared at Nice like that! He must've already been notified by Miss J or Shang De ahead of time!
Jesus, the director stuffed too much info in one episode!
>>
>>282341167
Anon, can you tell me where Ahu is reacting in shock in relation to the other contestants who also reacted after X teleported to the middle of the podium? Can you tell me why Ahu was in the dark hallway, running forward to the bright part of the hallway, while the other contestants were already on the floating podium when they were reacting?
>>
>>282340904
I'm really annoyed they have the chinese names and world names but it's not consistent with all the characters
>>
>>282341585
Honestly, how can anyone think Ahu didn't want to join? A child could see he was just running late because he was talking to X! He was literally walking into the arena.

Why so many of you retards have to make things more complicated than they need to be? Especially with this show
>>
>>282341284
Now I want the first ep next season is about Shang De's reactions to Nice's revival from the previous night and what Miss J has to say. She's the one taking care of Nice corpse after all
>>
>Nice appears in shattered state stealing everyone spotlight
>X appears in his civilian form stealing Nice's spotlight
reminds me of that one doujin where Nice is all pissed 'cause X keeps stealing his spotlight. Fujos are low-key terrifying with their psychic predictions
>>
>>282341877
As much as I want the flash backs to be over the fact is that there is still things they need to show the viewer from before the tournament started.
>>
>>282342195
>psychic predictions
It was made after the episode. I also wouldn't consider it a doujin though
>>
Nice will win the tournament and be Zero
>>
>>282341817
So you can't prove that he actually went to the floating podium from the image you posted and insulted me from. And between Ahu finding the truth, and despite begging X not to compete while showing up at the last second in civilian form and stating he'll defy fate, causing shock to Ahu, you can't fathom that maybe that last second deviation from the trajectory might influence whether the dog is going to compete, kind of defying the fate of the tournament?
I'm not saying I'm completely correct on everything, but you gotta stop retorting with insults and trying to pick a fight when you're plain wrong on some things.

>>282342534
The dog clearly already went toward the light gate! What more do you want to prove? I don't understand how you could possibly twist that into him not wanting to join the tournament anymore, just because he was busy standing there talking to X

And even if X was spouting nonsense, that dog wouldn't even understand it well enough to quit. If he wanted to quit, he would have done it from the start—why even bother heading toward the gate?

All your over-the-top theories are pointless. Why do you think the director showed the scene of X bringing the dog to the arena? So the dog could just give up and not go? The entire focus of the episode is the 21th tournament, where all the top 10 heroes are gathering. Where the hell did you even get the idea that the dog wouldn’t participate anymore? Even in the fucking timeline >>282298297 stated that 'Ahu participates in the hero tournament as No.8'

But what pisses me off even more is that I’ve already tried to explain this to you, and you’re still stubbornly refusing to listen, convinced that your reasoning is right. Just go back to Twitterland and find someone there to coddle you. Don't quote me anymore, retard
