Do we know if by the time of Nice's death there was another tournament between the top ranking heroes? Cuz it's pretty odd that the board shifts from X to this woman. Would that imply someone else took the tournament win since X wanted out?

What exactly did Queen accomplish by going to university early, when she just became a hero afterwards? Literal wild children with no education like Little Johnny and Dragon Boy, plus an actual dog, are heroes. Even Cyan wasn't educated since they were busy making her a goddess in the orphanage.
>>281735182
Everybody wants to dethrone X at this point. Poor guy just wants to help and maintain work life balance and yet all the orgs in-universe are about to put a hit on him simply for existing.
>>281739275
Probably Smile, which is why the thing has been referred to as the "Smile Incident"
I think during Lin Ling's arc, which is the last arc chronologically, there is a smashed up Smile billboard which implies he was disgraced.
Why did X become X in the first place if he hates doing the work?
Who hired him?
Why is he constantly in the background of the other characters helping them along if he has to greater motive behind it?
What is the story behind his bromance with Smile?
>>281739837
I think the twist with X is that he's going to be the only "natural" Super hero who doesn't rely on trust or fear for his powers. He just woke up one day and suddenly had world altering powers.
>>281741846
Why would she be? Ghostblade is not much younger than Smile; he married his wife about twenty years ago and they were roughly the same age. Meanwhile, Smile’s daughter is a kid right now.
>>281743305
The photo of her Dragon Boy stole shows her smiling just fine. Smile’s wife was just guilt-tripping him about their daughter missing her dad.
>>281739837 >Why did X become X in the first place if he hates doing the work?
He probably just became X for the thrill of it after doing his generic ordinary job for so long. Now he's already exhausted and or bored with being a hero and being X and wants to retire.
>>281744085
Judging by his songs, it sounds like he just wanted to do some good and became something much bigger in the process. >I always knew where I stood >I tried to be so good >Look at me now >I don't know how >But I'm a real hero
It’s also pretty telling that his POV song is called Inertia, i.e. a tendency for an object to stay in the same state unless some external force forces it to change. It sounds like something is forcing him or will force him to take action. >I'm gonna be the last line of defense >I'll blow it if I lack the confidence >I've got to believe >That there's a need for my whole existence

Just because a white haired pretty boy in a tight suit is in the entertainment business and does ballet and has a boyfriend (who gets turned on when he punches him) who interrupted his wedding with a hot girl he pretended to be in a relationship for 3 years with nothing romantic happening he's gay? Pfff
Why'd they show the dude that got killed in the E-Soul story? Are he and Nice the same person? If they are then why'd Nice think jumping off a building would kill him when a gun to the head didn't?
I’m starting to wonder if this trailer didn’t actually spoil the main story. It makes it seem like X (unusually emotional by his standards) is looking into the past of the good/reformed heroes, and the tagline “Heroes I shall redefine” is also suspicious. Maybe Smile’s death in the next episode will be the trigger that finally forces him to break his prime directive and start messing with things on the grand scale.
>>281745772
This >>281745971 and because the Nice persona is an obvious hero version of Shang Chao. Nice was probably picked by Shand solely because of his physical ressemblance with his son. He's not just a tool of vengeance, he's a ghost. He's impersonating a dead man. It's all a mess.
>>281746835
I think whatever happens with Smile is going to be the thing that causes X's to take a more active role. Lin Ling's arc comes chronologically at the end of the season 1, but the arc seemed to have X interfering in it pretty often if we take the animations switches as X stepping in, plus it was heavily implied X was the one who got his hands on and uploaded Lin Ling's rejected ad to motivate him.
Also that line where it states "Where Commoners shine" definitely implies something considering Lin Ling is quite literally The Commoner.
nice clearly injected dragonfag with fear
dragonfag clearly got a power up from it because LE EDGY
dragonfag clearly beat nice and probably crippled smile in the process
>Trust has been mostly a negative to the lives of our characters >Too Much Trust Value can lead to the creation of a God >the Commision is planning to regulate Trust and Fear, making Heroes and Villains a thing of the past
...will X somehow separate superpowers from Trust and turn the world into a normal Capeshit setting?
>>281739983 >>281739837
I hope we get some cool answers in the last episode. It feels like we aren't going to get the origins of X anytime soon but it'd be cool if it starts off like some Batman-esque vigilante since it seems you just can't get powers without Trust, and even then Trust is completely random which powers you get. Loli is still literally just a normal girl (but smart)
>>281743230
CCP censorship doesn't allow confirmation but consider Wreck's incredible crash-out and Nice's some what weird relationships (along with Moon implying it was all just a play) it makes it seem rather obvious that he's probably gay but Chinese works can never confirm it
>>281747366 >>281747815
Nice has no real reason to be in that place if he wasn't planning on killing himself, he can just leave through the front. It does seem pretty impossible for him to kill himself though yeah. Nice thought of Smile like a mentor of sorts so it kind of checks out it would balloon into a depressive spiral. By the time of Wreck's crashout he hadn't answered Wreck's texts for some weeks longer than he's been dead
>>281752288
It's holding some media back yeah but overall I'd say they have to get the message across in a more poignant fashion because of the censorship
>>281741357
That pic of Ahu and X sharing a drink insinuates that they hang out together. Also, both technically work at FOMO, so I wonder if they're work buddies in some way.
>>281756643
A shame he's dead last in the polls. Hopefully his episode does him justice, but I bet the ep will be too light-hearted for people to vote for him.
>>281756586 >Ahu is an old man in dog years >Smile is also old
It’s interesting that X is most friendly with older heroes, despite being pretty young himself.
>>281756707
Ahu also technically has a (human) daughter for whom he cares for greatly, so maybe you're onto something with the Ahu and Smile parallels.
>>281760190
Link Click S1 is full of SOVL, basketball arc and lost child arc especially. Really emotional and moving stories in episodic structure. S2 turned into a bizarre fujo CSI Beijing police serial. It's heartbreaking.
>>281755162
I think it's been implied that X's wagie day job is something like an illustrator or graphic designer at FOMO, so his X persona and powers could be viewed as him overlaying his artistic vision on to reality.
>>281732408 (OP)
I genuinely wonder whether this thread is created by astroturfers, like the Solo Leveling threads.
This show is decent, but there's really not that much to discuss other than a new episode, for fuck's sake.
>>281763649
On the official website his listed hobbies are information gathering, piano playing, and magic tricks. Meanwhile, his official MBTI type is INTP, aka the Architect. >INTPs are detached, analytical observers who can seem oblivious to the world around them because they are so deeply absorbed in thought. They spend much of their time in their own heads: exploring concepts, making connections, and seeking understanding of how things work. To the Architect, life is an ongoing inquiry into the mysteries of the universe.
Put together it suggests X is a solitary, artistically minded guy with an intellectual bent.
I dont get it why all these "Heroes" working for Managers that are evil and this Guy that is how E-Soul seems to have a severe Brain Damage if he thinks killing people is good
>>281770079 >could be dog
Ahu was likely just a regular dog in that 6min trailer, and in another trailer, it's revealed that he got his trust powers after that event. It seems that aliens/alien tech nullifies trust/fear, yet Ahu gained it after meeting X.
Though, I agree that the dog is strange. In the first place, why was Ahu there alone with Phobiaclone? And what's up with his pink necktie?
