Tu Bian Yingxiong X Episode 22 Discussion

Finally... X!!!! I feel so cheated, X is listed as a main and he's barely been in it... but omg so epic when he does show up. I wonder about that necklace he picked from his dear late friend Smile....... what's it all mean!!!! Ahhh!!!

But I'm also really confused.... like... didn't the original Nice commit suicide and then that poor kid took over his position... so why would he have any of the memories of Nice as a kid? And you're telling me all this time, Nice's image has been made from fear?? Then why would he still be controlled by the numbers on his wrist-- bahhh I think I'm just not smart enough to keep up lol.

I did not expect to be saying that this show is becoming one of my favorite animation series of all time, but here I am, saying it.








JJKS3 better be God's gift to animation or Japan is officially behind

I feel bad for anyone who’s not watching to be hero x weekly. I can’t believe I used to be sleep on Chinese animation. X, it’s oozing off the screen goat. Finally got to see him in action and this is the most emotion we’ve seen from him as well.

I fucking hate Smile went out over some bullshit like that and the fact he died with a smile on his face… man just wanted to see his daughter and make sure she was ok. Didn’t hurt a fly, did things the right way and by all accounts was the ideal hero everyone strives towards. You know he was one of the good ones when X, who’s shown zero emotion in any of his appearances, is visibly upset and angry about losing his best friend. Congrats, you just made an enemy of the strongest being on the planet.

The choreography for the nice vs dragon boy fight was absolutely incredible as was Smile alter vs Nice. The 2D/3D shifts with X were also dope. I feel like these last few episodes are going to be insane. I can’t wait.

It was clear, even from the little we saw of him in episode one, that Nice has always been someone controlled by the people around him more than anything else. Looking at the past, nothing was really different obviously. They made him inject this “fear” into both Dragon Boy and Smile. But ofc, knowing Nice, it’s in his name, he’s too nice to even think about hurting his precious idol. So naturally, he ends up injecting Dragon Boy instead...

... Except that plan completely backfired. In the end, he still hurt his precious idol, and then had to watch Dragon Boy absolutely wipe the floor with him. It’s no surprise that Nice projected his anger onto him, whether or not the fans were there to see it happen. But that wasn’t the only thing the fans got to experience that night, because HOLY. FUCKING. SHIT. X PULLED UP AND COMPLETELY DESTROYED DRAGON BOY. The sheer aura this man had... switching between 3D and 2D. ACTUAL. FUCKING. CHILLS.

Anyway, super intense stuff this episode aside, it’s now the main guy’s turn next week. That’s right... MY MAN AHUUUUU!!!

Gosh I feel so bad for Nice now. His such an ass but he was forced into that position. Ok back to the main topic at hand.

HOLY SHIT X!!! We finally get another X "fight". It didnt even last 3 seconds. The way he just toss Dragon Boy like trash holy sheeeeesh.

I have a theory that only He can perceive the 3D world. The way the audience reacted like they couldnt see what he did to Dragon Boy tells me that he manipulates in 3D and the interaction happens in 2D.

this is the OG nice, new jice takes places after everything we've seen so far

@laketica We're still in flashback mode. The events happening now will lead to the suicide of Nice.

RIP Smile. It's like they say, you either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become a villain. Seems like all the real ones (that just so happen to be former Xs) like him, OG E-soul, and Sheng are destined to die by virtue of the evil corporate scumbags manipulating everything from the shadows.

Based on the reactions from everyone around X, it seems clear that when he switches the animation style with a snap that it essentially freezes/pauses time to allow him to complete his maneuver before unfreezing it with another snap. I would guess that he has a time limit on how long he can do this based on his talk about "overtime" and what we have seen from his PV with the watch alarm going off at the end.

Everything about this episode was AWESOME except for 1 very SIGNIFICANT detail... we still have no F'ing clue about Dragon Boy's background, how Rock found him, or really anything at all besides him disclosing his ability. The stuff with being under the ice showed us very little, and seemed purposefully done, which makes me question why only 2 episodes were budgeted for Dragon Boy for the season. Either it somehow bleeds into the last 2 episodes that are supposed to be focused on Ahu and X, or it gets rolled over into season 2, which shows how much they overshot in trying to introduce and develop 10 heroes while simultaneously developing the plot alongside those origin stories within 24 episodes.

This makes me very worried about how much we're going to get for Ahu and X before this season ends. That was my biggest fear going into this series, that the origin stories would be shortchanged for the sake of time, and while it has managed to exceed my expectations by successfully creating surprisingly fleshed out characters for the first 7 heroes shown in only 2 to 4 episodes for each of them, it seems like Dragon Boy is now the first one to get rushed through due to those time constraints. We will see over the next 2 weeks whether that happens with Ahu and X too.

I would bet that the season will end with all 10 heroes showing up at the battlefield for the current top 10 hero tournament. That seems like the ideal way to end the season on a cliffhanger to get everyone hyped for season 2. Who doesn't love a good tournament arc, right?

P.S. This is the "smile incident" mentioned in the beginning of the series. We are almost at the present day from the end of episode 4.

X is top tier hero!! I think this is a amazing character for such very little screen time. Also we have two episodes left and one hero yet to be shown and it's this dog character that I've wanted to see the most. Not to be negative on a fantastic series and episode, but why do we have 2 episodes left if we're not done with this arc and haven't shown the final hero yet? I just hope this ending isn't rushed because we also got to answer the question, who is going to be the next X?

I am glad the CGI animation is back, but I need more episodes with it. I prefer the CGI because it makes it look different compared to other anime!!
