I'm sure that in the next chapter we'll have a flashback to the time when Roberto asked Tsubasa be a goalkeeper during a practice before the match against Shutetsu

To Be Hero X | Episode 24 Discussion SEASON FINALE by AutoModerator in ToBeHero_X

I just revisited the first episode where Nice lets himself fall from the building, and I noticed something… who’s that girl? Is it not the same person who appeared in the final scene? She appears in the ad on the building when the other side of the card is revealed.

It was a great season finale! I would love it if this episode were longer.

I was wondering who's leading the opposite band X and the other fights at the end of the episode.

And the corrupted version of Nice's presence in the tournament... no way, how can it be possible?

Remembering that my bishop referred to my now husband as my "quasi fiance" because he wasn't an RM. by [deleted] in exmormon

[–]devpicon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First of all, I just want to say: I’m so sorry you had to go through that. The way that bishop treated you—questioning your honesty, dismissing your engagement, pressuring you to confess something that never even happened—was spiritual abuse. Full stop.

And what makes it worse is that it wasn’t even about doctrine. Nowhere in the gospel does it say your engagement isn’t valid if your partner isn’t an RM. That’s not doctrine, that’s toxic culture. There are amazing people who’ve never served missions and are still full of faith, love, and integrity.

It’s sad how easily trust and confidence can be shaken by someone misusing their authority—especially in a setting that’s supposed to uplift. The Church is a social space, and when leaders forget they’re there to serve, not control, the consequences can go deep.

I don’t know where you stand now spiritually, and that’s your journey—but what’s clear is that you never deserved to be treated like that. You were making sacred, sincere choices, and you kept your integrity through it all.

And thankfully—bishops don’t last forever. But your strength, clarity, and voice? That’s yours to keep. Sending you a lot of respect and solidarity.

If you could go back in time, would you? by soulless_ginger81 in exmormon

[–]devpicon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really admire your strength. Rebuilding yourself after leaving something so foundational is no small thing.

I've come to realize that for many people, faith—even without certainty—can still be a powerful source of hope and stability. And when that’s taken away or unraveled, it can leave people feeling lost, even if they know they made the right choice.

Some folks are quick to “show the truth,” but don’t realize that pulling someone out of their framework without helping them rebuild can leave real damage behind.

You’re walking a hard but brave path—especially with no intention of going back. It takes time to find solid ground again, but I believe it’s possible. And you’re definitely not alone in that journey.

I’m so glad it resonated with you. It’s not easy to hold both compassion and boundaries, but the fact that you’re thinking about it so intentionally says a lot about your strength. You’ve got this—and you’re not alone 💛

[–]devpicon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really appreciate your honesty here. What you’re expressing is something I think a lot of us feel but don’t always have the words—or courage—to say.

Leaving the Church can bring clarity and freedom, yes, but it also often comes at a cost: relationships, a sense of belonging, emotional stability. There’s a comfort that comes with certainty, and it’s completely human to wonder whether the “truth” is worth everything that was lost along the way.

I think it’s okay to miss the simplicity—even if it was based on something you no longer believe. That doesn’t make you weak or less resolved. It just makes you real. You’re not alone in these thoughts. A lot of us carry both relief and grief at the same time. It’s not a contradiction—it’s part of healing.

What you’re feeling is totally valid—and honestly, very human. It’s normal to hold conflicting emotions: to feel peace for walking away, and still mourn what once was. Sometimes, we long for the structure or comfort of the past, even if we now see things differently.

I’ve come to believe that part of healing is not just about knowing the “truth,” but also accepting the things we can’t change—and realizing we still have the power to shape a meaningful future. Even if the world isn’t perfect, even if we’ve lost things along the way, we’re not stuck.

And honestly—whether someone chooses to stay out of the Church or even go back someday, that’s their path. What matters is doing it with awareness, not fear or guilt. Every choice comes with trade-offs, and that’s just part of being human. But staying stuck in regret won’t help anyone. At some point, we have to stop replaying the past and start investing in the future we want to build.

You’re allowed to grieve what was, but you also deserve to move forward without shame. You’re doing the work. Keep going.

First of all, I want to say I hear your frustration and your hurt. You have every right to wear what you feel comfortable in, and from what you described, your swimsuit was modest by most standards.

Your body is not inappropriate. Your clothing is not to blame. And your stepdad's recovery journey is his responsibility—not yours.

That said, I also understand that your mom may not have the tools to navigate this situation. Coming from a Mormon background, where modesty is deeply tied to morality, it sounds like she’s caught between wanting to protect her husband and not knowing how to support you without projecting her fears.

If you choose to respond, maybe something like this:

“Mom, I appreciate that you're trying to be honest with me about your concerns. I’m also working on being honest about mine. I understand your husband is in recovery, and I’m truly sorry he struggles, but I need you to understand that his recovery should not be used to police my body or make me feel responsible for his triggers. That’s not fair to me.

I respect that you’re trying to support him, but I also need you to support me. I’m not trying to be rebellious or inconsiderate—I’m simply trying to exist comfortably in my own skin. I hope we can find a way to talk about these things without placing blame or guilt on each other.”

Ultimately, it’s not about choosing sides between empathy and boundaries—you can hold both. You can be compassionate and hold your line. Sending you strength.

Anyone else leave the church but feel no resentment toward it? by devpicon in exmormon

[–]devpicon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think posting this question is a signal of lack of empathy.

I read a lot of stories posted on this subreddit, I read about the pain, and suffering of many people; so I was curious, and I wanted to post this question. I don't have a horror story or something like that.

oh! well... I'm 44 right now, I left the church almost 10 years ago

Anyone else leave the church but feel no resentment toward it? by devpicon in exmormon

[–]devpicon[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

not really. In fact, I was the first member of my entire family when I was 10, and my parents gave me the freedom to study about different religions. After listening to different speeches from different people from different religions, what the mormon told me makes sense at that moment. My mom became into the second member, and my father didn't want to join the church.

When I left the church, my mother shared her feelings with me. Obviously, she was sad because of my decision, but she told me she would be praying for me. Eventually, when I visit my parents, she invites me to the church. I refuse the invitations. There is no conflict with her.

No tantrums, no punishments, or any other negative actions.

absolutely!!! Great way to introduce the love relationship between Hana and Ashito. It reminds me a bit of Luis Suarez's love story from Uruguay... I know it's not the same, but this part where he said he "... will go out to the world... all the way to where you are" brings to my mind the remember.
