To be hero x

3 women povs in a row

Are the comfy times over until Ghostblade?

I love you anon, thank you

It's more that everyone's still angry at the Moon cliffhanger and pushing it off to the end of the series is frustrating as fuck.

I'm not

I am

Thank you anon, this sounds pretty cool.

God i hope Luo doesn't die horribly.

Maybe not horribly but I don't see how he wouldn't die

E-Bump

it's out

Our guy finally appears

still no lucky cyan episode 7 single

god fucking damn it, I hate and love how the final minutes of every episode ends on a cliffhanger I need to wait another fucking week for.
Cyan is gonna have to kill Luo isn't it?

Who names a woman "Ken"

Yeah. It's very much looking that way. The director manipulated Luo somehow, but Cyan is still going to put him down.

i unironically got hard when i realized he was x

ive met women named ken, though it was a nickname for them. one was kendra and the other was kennedy.

Did Uncle know that the Lightning Attack would do that? If so, how?

It's more like the half way point. The series is setup with a 48 episode structure according to the director. First half/season is the introduction of the heroes and then the latter half is the battle royale and the heroes interacting with each other.
The problem is that it will probably be a year or so until the second half.

E-soul "reincarnated" in him.

This is 100% bullshit nonsense not supported by anything in the show. Actually the dumbest "theory"

Also, FWIW, the episode is out now.

uncle is the ceo of might glory, of course he knows everything about esoul

I have a feeling that the song and the guitar have likely something to do with the zombiefication .

What the fuck did the orphan directory say to Luo to get him to react that way?

Probably either found some way to blame cyan for Lou's parent's deaths, or was manipulating him into thinking Cyan just doesn't care about him anymore.

Luo is probably rolling in his grave that he wrote a great song like "My Love" for Cyan only for her to be singing auto-tune shit a few years later.

1. what is this?
2. any homob8?
3. are there any traps?

To Be Hero X, China's take on the battle tournament genre.
There's not really homo bait, right now, we're in the cute girl sings songs with her amped guitar arc
No traps or ever, because China.

So the Dean said something to Luo and now they're mindless zombies?

Best girl

What's the timeline so far? How long did it take for Cyan to be a hero after she ran away from the orphanage? Seems pretty long with how old Queen's dad got

Year 0 — The Founding
-The Commission is established.

Year 2 AC — 1st Heroes Tournament
-The original E-Soul becomes the first hero to earn the title of “X.”

Year 6 AC — 3rd Heroes Tournament
-E-Soul and Zero engage in a catastrophic battle known as the “Fall of Dawn” (depicted in E-Soul’s PV).

Year 20 AC — 10th Heroes Tournament
-Little Yeng Chang’s parents are murdered by unknown thieves in an alley and E-Soul saves Yeng Chang during the incident.

Year 23 AC
-Plane crashes, Lucky Cyan is only survivor

Year 28 AC
-Cult formed around Cyan. Heroes fight each other causing disasters. Queen gives speech about overturning the trust system. Heroes Mr Matchstick, and Ms Blazing fire, implicated in scandal

Year 33 AC
-Yang starts playing E-Soul at a children's theater

Year 34 AC — 17th Heroes Tournament
-A firefighter saves a young girl, later becoming the hero known as Firm-Man. Mr Shang resigned from Mighty Glory to sign the firefighter who became Firm Man. Treeman Corporation was founded.
-Cyan and Luo attempts to escape the orphanage

Some time in-between: Shang Chao interned at Treeman as Firm Man's assistant.

Year 36 AC — 18th Heroes Tournament
-A statue of Firm-Man is sculpted from the world’s largest boulder on Hero Avenue.
-The girl he once saved gifts him a red scarf, which becomes one of his signature symbols.
-E-Soul Arc/EPs 5-7
-Lucky Cyan performs her first concert

Year 38 AC — 19th Heroes Tournament
-Moon is saved by Nice, leading to heavy fanbase speculation and shipping. Eventually, to appease their fans, Moon and Nice enter a contract to become a public couple. The current Mr X becomes the #1 hero.

Year 41 AC — Current Events
-Lin Ling Arc/EPs 1-4
-Lin Ling’s final episode was 15 days away from the 21st Heroes Tournament.

If only Yang Chang had made it to the concert...

Year 34 AC

Year 36 AC

2 years, huh. Dang, so those injuries Luo has wasn't the aftermath from the truck

-Lucky Cyan performs her first concert

I wonder if that "first concert" is the same as the one that happened during the E-Soul fight.
They said it was "a concert" and didn't seem to specify it was her first.

Its 100% the same concert because she sings the same songs, and they do outright mention its her first concert. she even mentions at the end its her first time on stage in a long while, and the last time was a bad experience(her trying to escape with Lou)

My guess is that Luo's parents were probably died in the plane crash that Cyan survived. The director probably implicated Cyan somehow.

When Cyan says that that person is no longer here is it implied she thinks Luo is dead or if she is saying that he's just not with them at the moment? Anyone know? Did her manager lie and tell them that he died like the PV?

She thinks hes dead.

I don't really like this predictable pattern where the heroes end up losing the one they care most about at the end of their arcs. It happened with Lin Lang, It happened with Yang, and now it's most likely going to be Lucky Cyan? It just lacks creativity.

The more it happens the more I'm sure that the entire series is just going to end with a timeline reset.

I mean, the great majority of capeshit heroes either have to witness somebody they care about die in front of them to embrace their hero-ness (Spiderman), are already orphans (Batman) or are raised by a foster family that will eventually die (Superman)

Most heterosexual man in China.

Sacrificed himself for Cyan's freedom

Suffers for two years at the orphanage

Genuinely happy and proud for Cyan living her life

I know he's gonna die but it still sucks

Yang to schedule the E-Soul fight on the same day as the concert

He shot himself in the foot

By the way Luo your bad luck as a baby caused a plane crash that killed her entire family. She was the only survivor of the flight.

We're 3/3 right now, but maybe Loli's story will be different.

Ya but this is 3 heroes in a row and it happens at the end of their arc.

Queen and Johnny are likely the only ones left that will lose someone.

Ghostblade already has a confirmed dead wife

Looking at his character PV though it doesn't seem like her death is the reason for him to become a hero, no?

When does the next episode preview release?

No but his arc does seem to look like it's going to center around him becoming some surrogate father figure to loli and her friend. Her friend even looks like she could be his actual daughter.

-E-Soul Arc/EPs 5-7

-Lucky Cyan performs her first concert

Really? This happened in the same year? The way they talked about Cyan in the Esoul arc made it seem like she's popular for a good while.

It's out already.
Here's the TL rip from Reddit
files.catbox.moe/nolx3r.mp4

So they just dropped the CGI style?

For now. The director stated it will return in the future.

This makes sense considering during her montage, people were recording her, which explains why her Trust Value was so high again.

Yeah nah they were definitely also beating the shit out of Luo while he made multiple escape attempts until they took away everything but the radio.

Loli

Luo Li

Cyan is about to kill Loli's brother and her father is probably a mad scientist that experimented on both of them

Shit I thought Queen was happening way later

Thanks

Cyan doesn't seem like a killer, like her power is just being lucky I think it's very unlikely to say the least

Watch Cyan be the only happy end after she saves Luo. She is lucky that she saves herself from the Director of this show

I fucking wish

Why would she want to be X if she got her happy ending? It just doesn't add up.

Happy ending maybe?

Inb4 Luo gets sniped the same way Moon gets sniped

That seems wrong, wasn't the commision only established after the "fall of dawn" incident where E-Soul fought Zero?

sex with cyan

Cyan part is too boring. I sleep

Lucky Cyan? Yeah, her happy ending with Luo is confirmed.

But the hero ranking

Nothing is stopping her path to being X

Lucky Cyan? Yeah, her happy ending with Luo is confirmed.

But her character PV shows that Luo is dead

The Luo for Lou Li (罗) is different spelling from Lucky Cyan's Lou (洛). They're not related. In fact, looking at Loli's PV, that aforementioned doctor/professor uses the same Chinese character as hers to signify that they're related. That's why some places call Lucky Cyan's friend Liu as to not confuse the English speakers.

This is what I get for being an English speaker, thought I was really onto something

Character pvs are not canon

JUMP INTO THE NIGHT CUZ I CAN SMELL THE TROUBLE

Does she get pregnant 100% of the time or 0% of the time?

No her management told her she's dead in the PV. During the concert she said he is no longer with us which implies she still believed he's dead and the PV for the next EP showes this. Cyan is going to save herself and Luo with luck for sure.

Yeah, because if anything the last two arcs have ended well for our leads.

Depends on how much she wants the baby.

Lin Ling's arc ended well for him, albeit not Moon.

No shot tragedy ending 3/3, also its set up to look like a tragedy already so i'm expecting a twist fake out tragedy.

The chinese youtube page for the show posted this pic in celebration of "Children's Day"

Cyan's story is all about an abusive orphanage basically

Hilarious.

Why did he do it?

He's a nice guy

That was the only autotune thing she's done so far, it was so weird. The singer's voice is already beautiful, doesn't need it. None of her other songs sounded like that. What was with that?

Wow, I actually never thought it this way. Fuck, now I have hope cause I really don't want Luo to die

The guitar is both the cause and cure for the zombie virus. That shit was spreading spores when Luo played it and Cyan might be the cure. Luck and Unlock
HEAVEN AND HELL LET'S ROCK

Continuing the tradition of hot company women.

Can't be the same concert. She was using the guitar for My Color in one, not the other.

This was not a good episode
I cannot overstate how utterly uninterested I am in Lucky Cyan as a character
How many episodes left in this arc? Two?

It'd be really kino if Cyan's ending is some depressive shit with Luo. I think that's more bittersweet than Ling Lin and Yang

I don't agree with your opinion

One more episode and then we are onto Queen who is probably going to be a partial lore dump.

ALL MY LIFE THEY SAID THAT I WAS STRANGE
BUT I KNEW THAT I COULD BE THE CHANGE

her arc has been the worst so far and by a good margin.

I'm glad her songs this episode were way better than whatever the fuck was in ep7

bring back e-soul

That beta? Nah

the cool one. I want to know more about him

He is gone, only puppet kwab Esoul remains. Cyan is a lot more compelling than him or used goods lover Ling.

the cool one

me too anon, all we're ever gonna get is his pv

I want E Soul vs Zero full episode

everyone looks cool

nice looks like a fag

Yeah I really dislike Cyan at this point, she really did not hesitated much to escape without her friend. Then she went: "oh no my friend is in danger? Anyway let's play some music".

On another note, her luck seems way less powerful than I thought it would be since she got caught. I was expecting her to consistently pull nagito-like bullshit.

Pray that the tower episode is actually a full on flashback showing the early days and why the commission operates the way it does. We may get E-Soul Vs Zero that way.

nice looks like a fag

Well he probably is.

I wonder if the truck was Cyan's good luck or Luo's bad luck.

I can't explain it well, but the way the truck crash scene was animated was really funny.

It was sleepy asian driver

Which was spawned in from good luck or bad luck?

Luck is a red herring, he was simply tired from overwork.

I want E Soul vs Zero full episode

Well according to the director guy, if this gets popular enough they will release mini series of other characters. Hopefully we get a full 4 ep of OG E Soul and how the Zero fight went down, and hopefully with the same amount of budget put in as this shit.

Well according to the director guy, if this gets popular enough they will release mini series of other characters

Manifesting Enlighter full arc.

Enlighter is probably guarenteed a arc, if you watch his interview he mentions that even he is suprised as how popular he is. He specifically used Enlighter as an example of a character who would get an arc if this shit flies off.

Marvelous news.

Did he know about Uncle Rock ruse or fell for it?

As much as I hate to say it I think he fell for it. Rock's scheme was basically flawless.

The thing he cares about the most is revealing stuff. No reason for him to know.

Cyan arc is fucking boring

I don't think it's boring but I thought this episode was progress more than it did. Doesn't even have her bow yet. They also need to release the My Color song (please).

Favorite song at the moment?
For me it's Inertia, especifically the part that gets skipped in the actual opening

Didn’t you know it’s enough

Just to deserve that love?

Without a crowd, without a stage

You’re still a real hero

Take Off for me, great music and lyrics. Also meaningful for Cyan story as it was her literal take off.

Cheating cause it's not released yet but Scar. Then Take Off with Neon Rain coming close.

If she has the power of luck how does she turn that into a glowing arrow shot? What does channeling luck into an arrow shot even supposed to do?

SPOTLIGHT
LOVER

So it's basically mentally old E-Soul with physical new E-Soul body or physically old E-Soul body with mentally new E-Soul. Either way, Yang Chang is gone.

A new type of hero is fucking great. Too bad we have to wait until the last episode to see it play out.

Take Off and My Color sound the most beautiful, I prefer female vocalists. Inertia's lyrics though.

Neon Rain for me, it's absolutely perfect.

Sirens call

A distance crime

The scene is lit by neon sign

Flashing you're out of time

Here comes the rain

Never to see your face again

Yang's arc was depressing, anons.

I never believed that they could make each of the 10 heroes super interesting. I'd rather see more of dead Nice and dead E-Soul at this point.

hesitate at saving your friend for a girl

Lose the girl anyway

kill your hero, the man who saved you after your parents death

lobotomize yourself and take on his identity, basically commiting suicide in (i'm pretty sure) Live TV

Yang Cheng might actually hqve the Bad Luck powers, not Luo.

Vocals are good, I just don't like the overly long DWWWWOOOONNNNNGGGGG part at the beginning that sounds like every live action movie trailer in the past 10 years. It brings down the song.

Ghostblade is 41

Jesus Christ this guy is OLD

can he even take the mask off? he's probably so heavily associated with it at this point that his "powers" forbid him from doing so
would explain why we've never actually seen his face

Personally I'm not a fan of most of the top ten, the designs are all too safe and clearly designed to be popular. I could be proven wrong because I wasn't expecting to enjoy Lucky Cyan's arc but have been so far, minus all the singing (but I get it's cause she's an idol). I'm especially worried about Ghostblade and Dragon Boy cause they strike me was just brooding pretty boy edgelords which is something I really don't like.

I'm especially worried about Ghostblade and Dragon Boy cause they strike me was just brooding pretty boy edgelords which is something I really don't like.

The director did say Ghostblade has a lot of twists so I'm hoping so. As for Dragon Boy, I hope he has more than edgelord and some actual depth to his character considering he's ranked 3rd and the character designer's fav

I disagree, I'm not sure how to describe how, but I think the song would lack something if it didn't have that buildup at the start.

You'll reach that age too someday. Then what?

"Cyan has a boyfriend now btw".

Cyan doesn't have good luck, she steals luck from other people

41 is old

41 is middle age. 1-30 is young, 31-60 is middle age, 60-death is old.

Nothing is more surprising that Johnny being 28.

Loli

18 years old

The reason she thought it was familiar is because Luo's parents were humming it on the plane that crashed or something, huh

queen

27 years old

...egg status?

Top 10 by age 18

10 years later she is still not X

Frustrated and desperate.

He’s assembling a team and knew he had to teach Cyan some go-getter attitude.

Why did she do it?

Dragon Boy has bones painted on him

Can’t wait for that edgelord’s arc.

He also has nipple piercings if you look closely.

Both, I guess. It was a good luck for Cyan and bad luck for everybody else. As the director says in the next episode preview, her good luck backlashes into misfortune for others.

So whats so special about this guitar? It was able to negate the Dean's powers. Any theories? Do you think he knew when he got it for Luo?

He's allergic to closed shirts

female hero gets focus

its so boring and the threads are dead

hopefully they all die in the beginning of season 2

Both, I guess. It was a good luck for Cyan and bad luck for everybody else.

This makes the most sense when Luo made her throw the marble and it set off the alarm. For this episode, she got away because of the truck but the driver could have died or killed people

Jeopardy > Inertia > Neon Rain > A New Type of Hero > Take Off > Kontinuum > everything else

There hasn’t been a single song I’ve disliked, though.

female hero gets focus

its so boring and the threads are dead

Next two whole arcs are female heroes too

Could be related to something she learns about the plane crash or how the world functions.

Jesus Christ why is this so sexy

Another kek arc? We already had enough with Lin and Yang ffs.

At least we now know what these are in the PV. I wonder if the affects are irreversible and is Cyan going to kill them

Why the fuck are all the songs in english, and sung by nips? Shouldn't they in chink?

Nobody answers this question

weird

Is doing household chores and volunteer work considered edgy nowadays?

i thought skeletons were banned in china

Multinational production, they probably like the way English vocals sound.

Yeah, it has to be something like this. It’s a revelation bad enough that Luo went negative super saiyan.

Would that matter though? Why?

Because she stole the luck of everybody else in the plane in order to survive.

That's not her fault

Would that matter though? Why?

I don't think it would honestly because Luo definitely knows what it's like since he has powers (ish) like Cyan except his brings disasters

More like chinks don't wanna hear japanese in their shitty faux anime, but need the nips voices in it so people might care about their series

Why did the Dean accept Luo in the first place? Clearly not out of the niceness of his heart if he wanted the orphanage to thrive

Luo himself said he was trying to raise heroes, he probably thought his unluck could be weaponized too.

The man, the legend, the one and only

When did he start monitoring Cyan? When the plane crash happened? Even earlier?

Yeah watching was so tiring for me due to maintaining a constant erection throughout the whole episode.

I wouldn’t be surprised if he just sort of knew the key timeline details without monitoring anyone specifically. says he has the sense of ease that comes from truly understanding the world, which sounds like some higher enlightenment.

only 1 episode left

big sad. who were the next arcs, queen and then loli?

Yep, and from now on only the Johnnies get 3 episodes. Everyone else gets 1 or 2.

Then the question becomes like the age old one about God. Why does X allow bad things to happen?

I'm hoping to be pleasantly surprised but only Ghostblade looks kino so far up until Ahu then X.

queen and loli are women bleh

johnnies doesn't make any fucking sense

dragonboy is a cunt with nothing heroic about him

Ghostblade, Ahu and X please deliver.

Some Anon says this sweetheart shot Moon in the head...

Explain yourselves.

X is not omnipotent, presumably, and he’s all about freedom. He might nudge things here and there for a higher purpose, but otherwise people make their own choices.

Battle shonen bros call her boring but I love her sweet innocent story. Maybe because I'm one of those battle shonen bros that also consumes CGDCT and SOL (my other contender for AOTS is Ballpark).

Even the answer is very similar to the one people use for God. Very nice.

my other contender for AOTS is Ballpark

Surprised its not Hibi.

I like Hibi too but Ballpark is personally nostalgic even though mine is American ballparks that aren't quite the same

This is how you build up to a central character to hype up the audience

The arcs are shown in reverse chronological order, so he should be alive in all following arcs until the end of the season.

Enlighter for new X.

I'm still fucking mad that he and Yang Cheng never actually talked other than when he saved him as a kid. Nothing? Nothing about OG remembering Yang's name, nothing about Yang's adoration pf him except indirectly at the press conference? I get that it's part of the tragedy but it's still frustrating. And over some fujoshit grievance with the annoying cockblock rich kid. Seriously, does anyone actually like Shang Chao? He's a dumbass.

This show has been so fucking good so far i truly feel bad for those that gatekept themselves from watching just because it's chinese or because of the 3d.

Enlighter is a bitch and already in prison for his crimes
