So for a little trivia, on BiliBili’s website they hold legitimate irl voting polls for the top 10 heroes, lowest hero gets punished (E soul was lowest when ep24 was released and got removed from the tournament, and was replaced) by the OG nice who was number 5 at the time so technically it’s a series where the fans do actually have influence. Which is one of the sickest things I’ve seen in a long time. Edit:You can see it at the end of the episode btw during the start of the ending

All about dumping on Nice but when you think about it it all goes back to Rock, he was responsible for killing the son of Treeman CEO so he could create he's own E-Soul back then, Treeman CEO got so turned by hatered/revenge he started using fear and turned the innocent boy inspired by Hero Smile into corpo pawn with fake heroic acts...So while i do hate what Nice became i can't really blame him 100%

Egregore

I can already tell that Fear Monster Nice is gonna be fucking horrifying

Noel

True, but there's also slight chance for a redemption arc especially after seeing the ending song scenes where he was fighting alongside other heroes

StorytellerDave

This show is so underrated, it was SO freaking good, I loved it.

Fun fact - 4:16 - It's not just a tie, it's her dad's tie. 7:30 - You can see her dad wearing that exact pink tie in the family photo.

X really is the coolest hero. Man barely even tried during that entire fight sequence

Matheus Filipe Lenz

My boy Ling (the Commoner) just leading the charts by a large margin while having a lot of his votes being counted for Nice instead of him due to confusion and the fact that he “was” Nice for a moment is just mind blowing, he truly is the actual protagonist, he better be the focus or have a major role on next season, because he’s so fucking cool and deserves it, we got so little of him this season.

Indeed. Zero might died, sure. But the Fear he generated has never gone away. It moved Rock to break multiple heroes in his quest to bring Zero back. It caused the creation of the Commission, who will kill anyone if they even approach that level of Trust that Zero had. It's the poison that was used on quite a few people throughout the series. Zero is dead, but Zero is still twisting the world.

Is there a plan for what to watch next.

I have a feeling the black haired girl that was with him there with the tarot cards is literally fate, or at least thats her fear/hero name, and she's actually the second zero that hes trying to stop, and maybe thay whole ending sequence was a previous failed timeline, so he's literally "defying fate"

Cyric Sherburne

So I'm thinking that Zero was so strong that he was essentially immortal, they couldn't kill him so they sealed/imprisoned him and told people he was dead in the hope that people thinking he was dead would weaken him enough to actually kill him, the girl in the end I'm thinking is the person from the first part of the season that was instigating fear (can't remember the name of the orginazation}

Nick

So bit of an explainer based on translations of stuff in the episode: Everyone is questioning how Nice is alive but most assume he was resurrected by Fear power. Because Lin Ling got to Rank #10 under Nice's identity, the trust value still applied to him when he was resurrected making him the new #10. So what about Lin Ling? He gained his own equal Trust Value when people believed in him for saving Moon and realizing he was the Hero under the Nice persona for the past year that deserved that rank. So Lin Ling became #9 while Nice is #10. BUT what about E-Soul then? Nice's resurrection at the last minute actually knocked him out of the Top 10 because the Ruin's Incident, presumably, caused him to drop down in ranks and he ultimately had more Trust Value than the #11, but less than Nice, so Lin Ling moved down into #9 while Nice took #10 and E-Soul slid down to #11 kicking him out of the tournament which is why he shows up behind Rock with a bit of aggressive body language, he likely was very much not happy. The end credits of the episode are likely a teaser for Season 2, which if I heard correctly the Director said something to the effect of he wants it out before the end of 2026, but I have no source for that and if I recall the person I heard it from, on Reddit, said the Director said it on a livestream after the last episode aired. So take that bit with a grain of salt. Also, Rock is not Zero, Rock is Zero's ideology living on after Zero's death and he wants to resurrect Zero using Dragon Boy. He's been hiding under the Commissions nose the whole time and is the actual biggest threat, but they don't see it and assume X is the biggest threat. If the end credits actually are a teaser for Season 2, then Dragon Boy does not become the next Zero, but some woman definitely seems like she's gonna take that role and give even X a run for his money. Also, bit of speculation, people think the reason Lin Ling signed up with Treeman might be because Shand promised to revive Moon if he accomplishes a goal. And if the montage in the middle of the episode is factual in some way, it looks like E-Soul was actually after Lin Ling and Moon got in the way of the shot, and then Ghostblade saved Lin Ling. Likely was tracking E-Soul's movements and being as sharp as he is might've deduced that Lin Ling would be a target. It still doesn't explain how they got to that deserted island or how they knew Moon was there unless they snuck in through the portal Lin Ling opened, both of them are speedsters so it's not impossible.

Sniper Delta

With the bilibili voting system he likely will be. Its possible he could even defeat Hero X with how mant votes he got on the website. I really really hope the creators understood the confusion in the voting system because Nice got all of those votes WAAAYYY before we even learned who the actual Nice was. Those votes were clearly supposed to be for Lin Ling. BUT, they can likely work this into the story as well. It makes sense that the public in-universe could be just as confused and unsure of which to support, questioning who the real hero was. Nice could gain all of that trust due to this and Lin Ling could EARN it all and more in season 2 from the public.

Eric

I mean... I don't know how are they gonna do that "tournament arc" cause X is just too fcking op man. Like, he could pull "all against me" and win. Like, he's gonna mop the floor with them XD

Matheus Filipe Lenz

I wouldn't even be mad if they made a Nice redemption arc, since a lot of his issues were due to manipulation and pressure, from the start he just wanted to be a hero like his idol Smile, but given the circumstances I could see a good redemption for him so he finally make amends for his mistakes and become the hero he wanted to be.

Broccoli Ben

I’m very happily surprised they didn’t just use the animation from when X fought the shadow goons in that animated trailer a few years ago. I highly recommend you checking out that full fight from X’s perspective Alicia, he’s so damn cool

Twisted Fictions

So there are two routes I can see- Rock is straight up Zero and hid after his survival, and has been orchestrating things all this time to recreate his own rise and somehow get his power back. OR Rock is a cultist of Zero the original and is looking to control Heroes enough that he can bring Zero back in some way. Perhaps his body is alive, sustained by the trust from Rock, or on life support. Either way, he's looking for powers to bring him back and protect him, such as getting E-Soul on side since E-Soul beat him once upon a time. Plus the existence of someone like Cyan who could just GIVE him what he needs by pure chance, and Queen who can DEMAND obedience. This can apply to the above theory as well. In either case, he'd obviously want someone like X out of the way or under control.

GildedGrimoire

I want to believe that the Nice we see at the end has accepted his flaws and let go of his need to be perfect and reverted back to the person he was when he started, but he's probably some sort of fear zombie or something

In Queen's arc we got teased of the first woman X and the mysterious woman who is in the sky of the opening. In ep 24 we got teased DOS top hero who won another hero tournament in the year 8 which was the last time anyone saw the first woman X. The mysterious 3 eyed woman design shares similarities with Queen and summons cards just like she does. The first woman X was not recorded in the main event timeline yet the anime teased us. She is not Ms. BrazingFire since she failed to become X in year 28 when Queen graduated. DOS was formed in year 8 which is the same year when first woman X last seen meaning it is possible first woman X and mysterious 3 eyed woman is Queen's mom, yet she looks young and currently working with Rock but not with Mickey based on ep 12 information. There is a higher chance Queen's mom could be an alien which explains a lot of who was Big Johnny's alien pod buddy that was teased in ep 19. Based on how Big Johnny has a strong bond with Queen when meeting her in ep 11 there is a chance she might be in the alien pod with him when spaceship had crashed. The X shaped hole was teased near the alien pods meaning Mickey must have kidnapped a young Queen and her mom was angry because of it .
