I thought The Apothecary Diaries was gonna be the only anime I'd enjoy this season. Glad I was proven wrong. My theory about Moon's death is:
1.)That isn't E-soul.
2.)If it was E-soul then Moon's death might be due to the power of the audience manipulating him or smth like that.

The fight was great, it was so nice to see the ending just to be crushed like that, bruh, the first episode and this one that's aaaah, if I see it correctly she is killed by E-soul? So I guess there's gonna be the beginning of heroe wars between each other, as Lin Ling won't just ignore it... And now waiting a week is gonna be painful.

Guess no happy endings for Lin Ling.

@V1P3Rdmk

I know and I've heard about it - I just haven't seen Link Click as that's in my ptw since a long time.

There is somewhere a full schedule of each character arcs tho I don't check it as I'd rather go blindly and enjoy the series, can't wait for Queen's arc.

Some pretty interesting news from the director Q&A...

https://x.com/tbhx_officialCN/status/1916311337480949884

Some assorted relevant bits of info:
- The 'real' Nice will show up in later episodes.
- Nice's story is being told in reverse order. The first 4 episodes are actually the 'ending'. The show will build up towards it.
- The (top 10) heroes' storylines will cross.
- Some might complain the first arc was quite fast paced. This was deliberate and something like an experiment.
- Later arcs will be 'different.' Some arcs may be faster, others will be slower. They will have different 'flavors' and express different things.
- The hero tower only houses the top 100 heroes. They've also apparently calculated the floor area of the tower and there is enough to accommodate all of them.

broooo so good 10 out of 10 episode for sure but that ending leaves more questions then answers and I know next week we'll start following esoul(rank 9 hero, speedster' seen at end of this episode) so I assume we will pick up from his pov but that leaves unanswered questions on lin lings end

1. how did nice/lin ling predict moons death in the first episode
2. did esoul kill her or was it someone or thing we have yet to see
3. if esoul did kill her how did he find her and why
was it the company wanting her quiet or something else
4. most importantly will this death be what brings the top 10 heros in contact with each other

@ararar366
It likely was an E-soul that killed Moon yes. There's like 3 different costumed E-souls shown so far, the classic 90s hero looking E-soul who fought Zero in his character PV. The more futuristic and grey armored E-soul who likely is an older version of the previously mentioned E-soul. Then there's the futuristic looking and black armored E-soul who we'll likely follow along as a POV character in the show as a sort of miles morales to the original E-soul's spider-man. The scene makes it intentionally hard to tell which armored E-soul killed moon since it's blurred out and Lin Ling's vision is covered by blood, so it could be either the older E-soul(Who shows up in episode 3) or the newer one.

How did E-soul find moon? Since her powers are still active, there's probably some way of tracking her through the wrist hologram that shows their trust value. Treeman which is the company Moon, Nice, Firm Man and Lin Ling works for is founded by a former heir to Mighty Glory which is the company E-soul and a few other heroes in the show work for. This connection is likely how E-soul managed to track Moon, that or part of E-soul's ability is the hero ability to track whoever he's chasing no matter what. I think another possible explanation for E-soul killing Moon can be seen in his character PV where he kills Zero who's a former hero turned evil and later talks about how heroes bear the trust of people and the price that comes along with it while at knifepoint against dark armored E-soul. This implies both E-souls are willing to kill a fellow hero due to them failing to bear people's trust, so maybe they saw Moon running off from her hero duty as something like this?

The Top 10 heroes are likely deeply intertwined in many ways even before Lin Ling became Nice. Things like Lucky Cyan and The Johnnies connection with a plane accident or X's connection with Ahu or E-soul's connection with Lin Ling judging by the episode 5 preview.

Due to God Eye, there was no other way for Lin Ling to save Moon except by confronting him directly. In doing so, he lost his identity as Nice and revealed the truth about Nice’s death to the public.

I’m really amazed that he fought so well, considering he was just an ordinary person—until the people themselves began cheering him on and, in turn, created a new hero. I can’t believe God Eye used trickery to reveal the truth, using a puppet as Moon while the real Moon was trapped on a deserted island all this time. But Lin Ling—assuming his hero name is The Commoner—managed to reach her to bring her back. But why!!! Why did they have to kill her again in the end? I can’t take seeing Moon die one more time in these episodes; this is the third episode and the second cliffhanger where we see her die.

The fight was amazing and so exciting—I loved it.

WHAT THE F–

We've been through this before, it's the same posture too, and I think Moon is really gone for real this time. I can't believe I got caught off guard by that cliffhanger for the 2nd time.

It's good that Lin Ling can stop pretending as Nice now, tho we still don't know the reason behind what happened to Nice.

And uhhh, a countdown to a Hero Tournament? that seemed so sudden and random after what happened in this episode's ending.

Im just waiting for the other top 10 heroes (in the trailer) to show up~

The animation is one of the best I've ever seen in anything.

Story in general is quite original, and even if it gets a bit cheesy at times, it's saved by a lot of unpredictable moments and flawless execution.

Bruh... worst episode so far, it's starting to be so stupid and too naive and the pacing is still awful and nothing resonates properly.
Besides that ehh... I preferred Nice, Lin Lin will be terribly boring, in these 4 episodes they've exhausted everything this character had to offer and now he'll just be ordinary and boring, unless he becomes edgy and thinks about revenge after Moon's death xD
And that plot twist at the end... for now it seems like cheap shocking for the sake of shocking and seeing as it's the second time Moon dies, it seems just ridiculous.

The whole trust value system concept is quite interesting.
This arc and character may probably be one of my favorites in this anime. I just wish there was a full anime based on this character. There's a lot you can do with this character and the trust system.
Coming into this as an anime-only viewer and after watching only the first trailer, is rough cos what is all this talk about a character called E-soul lol. Anyways excited for the rest.

LETS GOOOOOOO!!! He's no longer Nice he's Lin Ling. His title is the commoner? kinda almost insulting title ngl but it works.

Also so Moon has just been surviving on a random island this whole damn. That ending scene makes me think of that one JJK scene with Riko. They really decided to do the JJK Special.

This time it better not be a fakeout. I'm guessing though the first illusion he saw foreshadowing for this moment. Also this is the last ep for Nice/Lin Ling right? Next week we move on to another charcter? The next one on the schedule is E-soul right? ngl the one whole shot Moon at the end doesn't that look like E-soul kinda?

Is it really E-Soul at the end of the episode? I don't think this time it was some dream/premonition/whatever that happened before. But what if it wasn't in fact Moon again, as has happened before? But if we assume that it was indeed Moon this time, who's to say that whoever did it wasn't a villain with powers of illusion, posing as E-Soul and fooling the heroes and us (this episode's villain used a robot to impersonate Moon, let's not forget)? In fact, what if it was actually E-Soul but he's being controlled/possessed by something? Or is E-Soul under the effect of an illusion? We can't blindly trust the cliffhangers we see in this show, remember episode 01 (we're dealing with the director of Link Click too, after all).

The show potentially wants us to be angry and/or think it was E-Soul. It's not hard to deduce that. But it could be some kind of misdirection (even if it is E-Soul in the end), we don't know what actually happened and/or what followed from that yet. Another possibility is that it could be something to do with the tournament, and that E-Soul actually did it since, as I understand it, the heroes can fight each other since they're aiming for the title of X (just remember the hero who attacked Lin Ling in episode 2 when he was exploring the hideout of the “villain” from episode 2). What's more, they're on a deserted island with no one apparently watching them, so they can theoretically commit certain atrocities without losing people's trust if no one finds out.
I saw a comment that made a certain amount of sense. Moon was shot in the side of the head, but E-Soul is behind her. So is there anyone else there?
