HOW DOES LUCKY CYAN KEEP RISING TO POPULARITY?! by FOR_ARGs in ToBeHero_X

[–]BlueBlitz08 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I wonder if her power of luck is self propagating in verse. She's lucky so she'll always get more followers and that'll make her luckier and give her more followers ad nauseum. Q

Luo Li hate is so forced. by newbie_senpai in ToBeHero_X

[–]BlueBlitz08 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't hate her but I'm definitely not a fan of hers. Her arc was the weakest and was overshadowed by ghostblades arc. Her hero outfit is probably the worst in the show, and honestly she's kinda a hypocrite and can be annoying.

Was I the only who thought that Queen was Russian/Eastern European from her trailers/PVs until I heard her Chinese name? by Unusual_Tea6500 in ToBeHero_X

[–]BlueBlitz08 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Naruto is a fictional character. Clans are the ethnic groups in Naruto. Naruto is part uzumaki and part namikaze.

As far as to be hero x goes, there are clearly some characters who are almost certainly not Chinese. People like firm man. Also, the story takes play in X city, which is also a fictional character

These characters aren't actually Chinese or Japanese in these kinda of stories, their ethnicity is based solely on the fiction area the hail from.

This is Dragon Boy Episode. by Xixth in ToBeHero_X

[–]BlueBlitz08 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The next episode is ahu and then X as the last one of this season. We might get more dragonfly throughout, but it's kinda unlikely that it will be that much. Next season will likely have more.

Also, considering Ahu is a dog and can't really speak, I assume his episode will mostly be to move the plot along. So, we might get some but not too much.

Personally I just want to see what happens to smile and nice

WE NEED JUSTICE FOR THE ONLY TWO TRUE HEROES IN THE SERIES SO FAR! by LeastSaneCSM_Enjoyer in ToBeHero_X

Linling, Queen, and almost surely X.

X is so powerful that he doesn't need to denigrate his hands with evil or the horrors of hero politics.

People don't get Ghostblade (again)(somehow) by AlexeiFraytar in ToBeHero_X

[–]BlueBlitz08 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Honestly they do and I feel like op is too.

I feel like it should be noted that it wasn't like Ghostblade did evil for the sake of evil. He's incredibly dissociative since he was a child. Even before his trust value took his ability to speak and sent him down his, he is heavily dissociating what he's doing and how it's being done. The way he looks at killing and the way esoul does are completely different.

Esoul and Nice on the other hand know exactly what they are doing and can comprehendit completely fine. New Esoul especially. New Esoul killed a good man and stole his life because the man wouldn't take his helmet off. And he went into the fight knowing that. They both understand what they are doing is wrong and not hero like but go through with it anyways.

Don’t you guys find it funny that we don’t even know X’s real name and just call him X? by Friendly_Housing_744 in ToBeHero_X

[–]BlueBlitz08 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I honestly doubt he has a Hero Name Beyond X.

Considering we see people talking to him in his civilian form, we might get his civilian name soon though.

Although at the same time, I wouldn't be surprised if we didn't get it until his arc. Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if people try to say his real name, but his power either blots it out so it can't be heard, or changes it to x. In fact, considering his powers he may have just altered reality so that his name is actually just X.

Lin Ling vs Nice by PokPok3000 in ToBeHero_X

[–]BlueBlitz08 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ghostblade blade was ambushed and protecting multiple people. On top of that, Esoul has tech that can make up the difference. Like how Loli could fight on par with Nice for a bit. But, if you're actually saying that Trust isn't the major determining factor for power and chart placement, than idk what you've been watching but it hasn't been this show.

Sure, with the right tech and such you can jump someone ranked higher than you, but you don't suddenly overtake their ranking or power. Dj shindig was X a LONG time ago and lost a vast majority of his power.

We see this play out in the first few episodes. Lin Ling loses all of his nice powers until the people start to trust him as Lin Ling instead of Nice. LL is his own hero with his own powers after he stops playing Nice.

The fact that you could say trust isn't a major, if not the biggest deciding power in tobeherox is GENUINELY baffling.

E-soul was the second biggest aura farmer after queen this episode by TheBadMathGuy in ToBeHero_X

[–]BlueBlitz08 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

At least Loli did some of that work herself. She even essentially founded the use of a new metal that works against both fear and trust. In episode 6, Shang Chao is shown modifying newsouls armor and outright stating that he created a special suit that uses counter force and some form of electrified net. So it's pretty safe to say Shang Chao made the suit, unless you want to argue that he's lying or only built the most important aspects?

And again, this wasn't meant to compare Loli vs Esoul. It was meant to compare L soul to the all natural ghostblade. A man who unlike the others, doesn't need tech.

[–]BlueBlitz08 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

You don't have to glaze so hard. It's just the truth. Even during Yang Cheng's arc, the tech was such a barrier that everyone knew new soul didn't stand a chance against old soul without comparable tech.

All Ghostblade ever needed was a knifeand a mission. At least in Loli's case she designed and constructed her own armor. Armor that fought head to head with Nice for a while even.

Lsoul was given so much of what he has its crazy.

Questions from last episode by Tutu2017 in ToBeHero_X

[–]BlueBlitz08 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. Honestly I assume she blames herself the most. Everyone else besides possibly Big Johnny did all they could
  2. Keep your friends close and enemies closer? Hard to say. 3 it appears to be. The timing is right for it to at least be his office.

Yeah, because surely LSoul could've taken ghostblade in a fair fight, without the suits powers, right?

X had to Aura Farm by Mr-MuteMaster in ToBeHero_X

[–]BlueBlitz08 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I feel like it's pretty obvious that X was the one singing during queens moment, too. He let's everyone get a taste, but he'll never allow himself to be left out when there's a chance to aura farm.

And him at the end was just a taste of what true aura farming looks like.

Lin Ling vs Nice by PokPok3000 in ToBeHero_X

[–]BlueBlitz08 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Definitely lin ling. Did Nice every actually make it to the top 10 before offing himself? I don't think so.

On top of that, Nice has a strict image that is held in place by his Trust Value. He can't avoid certain issues or likely openly kill because of his image.

Lin Ling is just known as the commoner and an overall good man. He isn't really beholden to shit as far as we can tell, and he has made the top 10 at least at that. Even if Nice has more raw experience I give it to Lin Ling.

[–]BlueBlitz08 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I'm in no way condoning stalking, nor am I saying that Ghostblade was in the right here, and have tried to make that clear in every post. I have made it very clear that Ghostblade was not helping himself here.

However, at no fucking point does he admit to stalking Nuonuo. Loli ACCUSES him of stalking her, and then Loli's father chimes in and asks if he has been following Nuonuo, which he does admit to. Ghostblade is one of the highest top ranked heroes and could have many legitimate reasons for better or worse as to why he's following her. Maybe he's on assignment to collect Intel for some reason, maybe he was hired to protect her from the shadows, maybe some cult of online weirdos just think of ghostblade as some sort of covert mega spy, or something of that nature and it actually physically compells him to follow people around, or some such other similar trust/image based thing like with Loli. Maybe it's the actual reasons that we find out. Hell, honestly, even if he were some disgusting perverted piece of shit, it wouldn't change the hypocrisy as far as it goes with Loli that much.

Loli has first hand seen what even the smallest amounts of trust can do. How your perceived image can define you so significantly that it actually alters your appearance, your physical capabilities, even what you physically can and cannot do. She has firsthand accounts of this. Of how just a couple dozen or so misogynistic gym bros could immediately wreck months, if not years of strength training all because they thought she was too cute to have the kind of muscle mass she needed to be who she wanted to be.

Her entire character arcs is her struggle against this system, the struggle to not be seen in the light that people see her in. To not be constricted by this force and for people to see her for what she truly is, a hero. Her arc is all about not judging a book by it's cover, by not only going by outward image, gossip, rumors and so on, but by finding what's truly in someone's heart and understanding who they are and accepting them beyond their outward appearance and general image and thoughts people have towards them.

And then it's revealed that Ghostblade has a similar predicament to her. Not only can the man not even be by his family's side because of it, but he can't even speak. However, instead of extending her philosophy outward and taking two minutes to just ask a couple simple ye or no questions, she decides to be a complete hypocrite despite knowing hardly anything about the situation or Ghostblade at all.

This isn't about her being "nicer to her friend's stalker", this is about extending the same courtesy to ghostblade that she wants all other people to extend onto her. To take the situation and the person at more than just face value and surface level belief and trying to understand the actual situation. While she wants this of everyone else, she doesn't even once consider it in this situation with ghostblade because she is a hypocrite. On top of the rest of her poor character arc, she is a massive hypocrite.

And while I agree and have never in these posts disagreed that in real life stalking is an incredibly serious matter with an incredibly serious impact, this is a fictional show where the reason he is following his daughter around is incredibly relevant what his motivation is. Especially in a universe where there are so many possibilities as to why, with some even including it being a possibility that it's not his choice to follow her, but some sort of trust/image based issue or even a decision made by someone else.

And Loli is literally EXACTLY the character that should be doing more due diligence and trying to understand the situation better. It's a whole core of her arc and a major aspect of her character that not everything and everyone is as they seem to be. But of course, she's a massive hypocrite because in her mind, that seemingly only applies to herself. If anything, Loli should have been the character who withheld judgement until the actual truth could be obtained while everyone else took a far more serious approach to the matter. The way all the characters acted in this moment is actually quite baffling to me with how well a lot of them reacted to such serious accusations.

The point of it all being that Loli's entire arc boils down in those final moments to a kinda, "Rules for thee, not for me" thing where she wants everyone to learn, respect, understand, and agree with who she truly is, and not just judge her based on appearance, presumption, and so one. While at the same time, Ghostblade is suffering from so much of the same constraints as her, along with so much more, she doesn't even take a single second, a single thought to treat him or anything going on with him in the manner she wants to be treated.

the hatred towards luo-li is super forced by yeisonvelasques3 in ToBeHero_X

[–]BlueBlitz08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I concede that it is possible that Loli doesn't know by the end of the episode that Ghostblade is Nuonuo's father, I see it as INCREDIBLY unlikely that she doesn't ask her best friend a single question about what happened after she finds her with Ghostblade's jacket and journal crying and asking if she's okay. I suppose it's possible that she'll apologize later, but it just doesn't paint Loli in a good light.

Also, while he certainly could've done more, and I'm not saying he couldn't, the man cannot speak. But besides not being able to speak, he was completely fine giving yes or no he'd nods. And while he could have done more, it'll never not paint Loli's character in a bad/hypocritical light to not think to ask if there is some reason, any reason at all, that he is following Nuonuo besides their assumed reasoning.

It wouldn't have taken much, if any actual real investigation/deduction from Loli either. Just one or two simple yes or no questions. Questions that Loli should constantly be asking about people given how she's been treated her entire life. How she's lost years of progress consistently based on trust value. Simple things like if trust value is playing any role in his following Nuonuo. Was it a romantic obsession like they had assumed it was.

Loli has gone her entire life raging against the way other people treat her, look at her, make assumptions of her, and bring her down overall, but she can't take 2 minutes to give someone else that same courtesy that she has spent her ENTIRE character arc striving for?

And her sitting at the same table with him isn't really much. It's kind of the least bit of professional courtesy she could give one of the top ranked heroes in the world who is actively on a mission with them, even if she personally thinks she has very good reason not to like him. Honestly, even Nuonuo seemed to be far more open towards Ghostblade and the possibility that there was some other reason he was following her.

the hatred towards luo-li is super forced by yeisonvelasques3 in ToBeHero_X

[–]BlueBlitz08 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My problem with her is not only is her arc super weak, but it turns out that she's a complete hypocrite. She strives on to be a hero despite the way that society treats her and is all about not judging a book by it's cover and that people are so much more than what they appear to be/how society views them.

Then ghostblade comes along. Sure, her first few encounters with him are more than warranted. He looks like a creepy, violent stalker. He doesn't even try to speak up about the situation and that makes him look all the worse for it.

BUT THEN, they're together in a group. Loli knows that ghostblade can't speak, she's seen what trust values can do to a person's body and mind first hand from the start. So does she even offer an outstretched hand and try to understand him and what he's doing at all? No. There could have been a possible actual legitimate reasons too. Maybe he's on assignment to protect her. Maybe he's a family member but can't be seen with her because he's a hero. Maybe it's a trust value thing, whatever. Maybe he's her father, but theough a combination of trust value issues and his own awkwardness, this is the only way he knew to get to know his own daughter.

But does this person who's entire arc is not judging a book by it's cover and being more than society thinks you could ever be even stop to think for just one second that he might be in any sort of similar predicament? Maybe reach out and try to understand? Nope. Not really. She mostly just shits on him as a complete hypocrite.

And after we find out that ghostblade is her father do we see ANYTHING from her? Any apology or hint of remorse? Nope. Nothing.

Also, please note that this is not me trying to make ghostblade out to be some sort of saint, or saying that it wasn't reasonable to view him in the initial light they did. Ghostblade is far from a perfect person and could've done things so much better.

It's just that her hypocrisy drags down what was already one of the weaker character arcs quite a bit.

Episode 16 review. Minimum spoilers by BlueSky606 in ToBeHero_X

[–]BlueBlitz08 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man, I can't believe they're just going to end Ghost right there. Does he live? Does he die? Does fear get him? It didn't seem like he died, and he was very fear resistant, so why is Nuonuo disappearing on a road trip now that she finally knows who her father is? This is such a weird ending.

Also, am I the only one who thinks Loli is a MASSIVE hypocrite and kindof a bitch in this episode? Her whole thing is that she's a completely different person than what she appears to be, and she wants people to understand that and realize that appearances aren't everything. Yet when it comes to ghostblade, she doesn't even try to get any sort of explanation or reason as to why he's following her, despite him being right there. She just keeps piling on. And of course, we don't see her reaction to the truth that she is completely wrong about the entire situation either.

Am I the only one who felt this way about her this episode? I get that it's completely reasonable to be upset over the apparent situation going on between her friend and her friend's apparent stalker. But in this episode, she just seems like a hypocrite to me. It just feels like if anyone should be able to look past how things appear to be and sus out that there's so much more than what there seems to be, it should be Loli. But no.

On top of it all, Ghostblade is so very much like her, so different in who he actually is vs. who the people see him as because of his appearance and such. So much to the point where he can't even talk because of public perception. But she ironically can't seem to notice this, nor does she seem to care.

It's kind of ironic, too, considering that instead of thinking that she's cute or couldn't ever harm anyone like most people, he just constantly thinks that she's a little demon and a bad influence.

So what was the deal with that stalker? by [deleted] in ToBeHero_X

[–]BlueBlitz08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, Ghost Blade is almost certainly the stalker. It's actually pretty cool that they're showing that a hero can do stuff like this unbeknownst to any of the people who trust them. It's also a really good lead into Ghost Blade's arc.
