To Be Hero X (2025) — 01. NICE

just watched to be hero x and I am having thoughtS

tw: sui mention / death

still unpacking the first 2 episodes but the first one is already so much to process 🫠 like OG nice taking the hero act he was presenting to the public literally to his grave, doing the iconic finger gun gesture even as he was willingly jumping to his death D: he really was that far gone and tired of the facade he was displaying to the public that it didn't even waver in his final moments oW

and then Lin Ling casually mentioning it as "he did the pose" 😭 I'm probably overthinking it but the narrative of this show has already slain me /positive

then there's episode 2 where they go into how Nice and Moon had a fake TV relationship ( much like Akane and Aqua from Oshi no Ko ) and that he had a "best friend" that stopped hearing from him leading up to his sui in episode one D:

I'm not okay at allllll QwQ and we didn't see Wreck's body I don't think he's dead ( *in denial* )

tl;dr: the link click director is doing me in again by working on this show and I'm emotionally damaged XD

ok last post (for now...) but like, Nice canonically having OCD? I have so many feelings about it.

So far, it's been portrayed as the stereotypical "needs things neat and organized" thing which fits his powers but isn't necessarily OCD. Some people do that but it's a stereotype that is often considered harmful because it makes the disorder seem more benign than it is.

OCD is, at its core, an anxiety disorder. Compulsions (repetitive actions such as washing hands over and over, checking locks multiple times, etc.) are typically a means of staving off anxiety of "something bad" happening. That fear of "something bad" (i.e. obsessions) can be anything from internal to external, such as fears you might be a bad person or fears your house will burn down or that you'll be contaminated and fall ill. Compulsions try to treat that. It's not necessarily logical and people with OCD often know that their compulsions aren't reasonable but it's not something they want to do, they feel like they have to do it no matter what or there will be consequences.

Now, if they really are going to give Nice accurate OCD, then I imagine it's not just about his powers--it could be a pre-existing condition simply worsened by it. After all, both Wreck and Moon's feelings towards Nice don't change just b/c of what people believe their relationship to him is, even if their powers change (Moon teleporting to him, Wreck destroying the buildings Nice's affiliated corporation sells).

So I really hope they portray Nice having some form of moral OCD honestly. He probably wanted to be a hero genuinely at first but then began to realize that the world is very complex, and if he makes one mistake? If he doesn't give himself to the hero cause at all times? If he has to see his friend possibly harming civilians just to make some business richer? He's constantly watching himself, making sure he doesn't just look perfect, but is perfect morally. But his very existence as a corporate hero is antithetical to that.

And it's not just the guilt after the fact of making a mistake, it is a constant fear even when there's proof to the contrary. I've been thinking recently about how "perfection" is such a terrible state--you must strive to constantly maintain it. You don't "make up" for a mistake, you can only constantly check yourself to make sure you never do it again. If you slip up once? That's all the effort to "get better" down the drain.

I just...feel so bad for Nice now...

In light of the recent episode of TBHX, I would like to redact this statement from here on out with my genuine and deepest apology.

TBHX THEORY: X Broadcasted the Promo

So this is one of the main things that have been on my mind after episode 4. (SPOILER TALK WARNING ⚠️ ‼️ )

After the Blankster’s defeat,God eye is taunting Nice/Lin Ling with how much of his “perfection” as a Hero image is and deep down is nothing but a miserable sham. And it's really getting into Nice/Lin Ling.

….until this happens:

Lin Ling's Promo proposal breaks the broadcast.

It is made aware that know one knows where the promo came from. Not God’s Eye, and not even Miss J and her goons, who have been trying to hack into the broadcast the entire time.

My theory is that X was the one who changed the broadcast.

But for what reason?

Well..

While everyone is confused by the sudden Ad, Lin Ling is completely enthralled by it.

It brings back the memories of his old self, his drive and passion that HE  can be the hero not the packaged image of what the fans want.

That is what gave him the will power to break from the Nice personage, run to Moon, and claim himself as the Everyman’s hero.

(I’m sorry, I know his Hero name is something else but I can’t, I’m calling him Lin Ling from now on)

BUT HOW? WHY?

Now knowing what we know, some of the animation changes happen for a reason and are usually followed by a snap in the background. X has the ability to warp and control the essence and matter of reality. Not to mention he is supposedly a Vtuber or Streamer himself.

From what we see from X’s PV, his civilian self is the office worker in one of the Hero Agencies, Fomo.

His position in the company is yet unclear, but it DEFINITELY clear that he is able to move and use his powers somewhat undetected by his colleagues and the higher ups.

The means in which he could have obtained the proposal promo is: 

He could have hacked and stole Lin Ling’s Promo directly from the Treeman Server or from Miss J’s Email.

HE HAS BEEN WATCHING LIN LING THE ENTIRE TIME!

I personally believe that both methods are possible, but why would Hero X choose this time to act? What does he gain by leaking the  proposal? 

My theory, he is trying to change or create a new renaissance of Heroes.

In each of the Trailers and PVs that feature X, he is seen changing and switching the narrative around. He is manipulating the perception of not only the belief of the people, but also inspiring other heroes within his board of fate to redefine the what and who Hero X can be.

Whether that makes him even more powerful or weakens him, he is resetting the Value system of what it means to be a Hero, focusing little on public trust but building it on the belief of the convictions of the heroes.

Well finally got that one out of the chamber. I might do one on which Hero in the story might fit which chess piece, but I'll hold onto that after E-Soul or Lucky Cyan's Arcs wrap-up

Shout out to @vaccoiI! I told you I was gonna mention X!

Alas, Xiao Yueqing has really become true to her name—she is now Lin Ling’s white moonlight 😔
