@EarlThe2nd The last 2 arcs were about downsides of a hero society and a trust system. In Cyan arc we see that people are able to influence the trust system simply by being superstitious idiots, and in Queen arc we find out that the hero society is highly competitive and unfair. For example, Bowa was used as a stepping stone for a nepobaby Queen.

@Ki11grave Emm...nope
.
1) Bowa is a hypocrite. She stage this "assassination attempt" and was 100% OK with getting buff in popularity from Queen speech. This is how real cheat look like. Not to mention -she was X two times in a row. Does not look like a "step" for me. Basicly she make a tantrum out even sign of competition for her title
.
2)Queen NEVER use her "nepo" benefits. She refuse to get help from Hero agency, her father or Cyan. All Queens achievement were result of her own immense efford and talent. On contrast with Bowa - Queen never choose a short cut
.
3)Bowa is terrible HERO. She has more athlet way of thinking, but she never care about actually helping people and society. Title of X is just a way for Bowa to proof herself. Purely egoistical goal. Queen on contrast take Hero job seriously (to the point where she work her ass out during night before Competition). Becoming X for Queen is not her end goal, but a mere tool to change society and help people. This way Queen is a spiritual heir to OG E-Soul - true Hero

End of Queen's arc. definitely top-tier animation, ultra master level, but this arc really should’ve had 3 episodes, 'cause everything felt super rushed and too quick for that rivalry to make any real sense. There was no depth behind it, and the cause being just jealousy? Meh. Since her arc only got 2 episodes, I’d say it’s the weakest one overall.

BUT, when it comes to action? She absolutely blew the last 3 heroes out of the water. Queen vs Bowa was straight-up epic from start to finish.

@Mari_Max Most likely we would get more Queen and Cyan in Little John arc

Queen and Cyan is like bestie, it weird Queen didn't tell her that she is not cheating to Bowa, i don't like miscommunication conflict like this since they should hate on the randos X instead of her.

I just started binging this show earlier this week because it's almost at the end of its run. My god...I did not realize just how much peak was packed into this and episode 12 culminates it all in one epic fight sequence. Mah lawd.

Don't believe the hype.

Bro WTF was NOT expecting THAT. A fight like that should've been plastered all over the internet after it aired, but for some reason thankfully I didn't get that spoiled because WOW what a freaking nice surprise.

That said, couldn't fully get behind it because I don't fully get Bowa's crashout. It would be totally understandable if they had fought in the tournament and Queen beat her to gain the title of X. But no, Queen fought "X" and lost herself. Sounds like Bowa get de-ranked but Queen really didn't have anything to do with that, whatever it is it's all in Bowa's head as she's not thinking clearly. Basically, while we know that Bowa despises Queen for being more privileged than her, I don't get why'd she have to get as mad as to go as far as to try and kill Queen. Is it just all the fear particles or whatever taking a hold of her? Idk. Also want to know about that phone-call Bowa made in the previous episode. I legit thought she hired "X" to take her place and beat Queen out of spite. I guess that's not the case, and hope to find out what really went down and what might be causing Bowa's possible misunderstandings.

Anyway, Queen got heavily injured in the fight and went into a coma for several days and woke up finding out she missed her fight against "X", and now she's going on vacation with Cyan. A huge monster has appeared, but I'm guessing just like with E-Soul killing Moon, we're just going to leave it at that for some reason, because Queen only gets 2 episodes (unless I'm wrong...?? I'd like to be wrong here). Weak ass and awkward cliffhanger if that's the case, like what? Big monster shows up and that's it? Ok enough yapping, let's just get into the next episode- which, the next 2 are the lowest rated of the season at 4.2 each, oh boy. Not bad, but relatively bad. From what I understand these are for the hero named "Loli"?

Man I like how all the stories are interconnected and interwoven in a way, but there are quite a few loose ends and I hope they tie them all up together at least somewhat nicely. I feel the story regarding X might just be thing to do that.
