| I just feel bad for Little Johnny more than anything here. He’s really the same as Ghostblade, except instead of suppressing his emotions like Ghostblade does, Little Johnny hides them behind his happy-go-lucky energy. And now Ghostblade is after our guy... it’s sad, but yeah, a mission’s a mission, and he has to complete it. It’s something that should’ve happened a long time ago, but oh well. Gotta say though, E-Soul coming back was not on my bucket list, but it made for one sick fight, and hey, Little Johnny gave Ghostblade quite the assist there. Meanwhile, Nice is also back after so long as well... and he’s OUT FOR BLOOD as well. Everything has slowly been connecting from the plane crash, to Little Johnny ofc yeah, and now even back to our first two heroes... And with the next episode being the long-awaited “???” episode according to the schedule, I’m hyped. |

| Holy shit what an episode, looks like we’re getting an all out battle royale with most, if not all, of the heroes! Cyan screentime please!! I love ironic twists and this episode had a couple really good ones. 1: Luoli dad still not respecting her abilities and strength as a hero and sidelining her during the spaceship search just for her to be the one to save he and Nuonuo from Nice lol. This is why we support our genius daughters who happen to own badass Ironheart suits. 2: Ghostblade nearly betraying little Johnny would’ve been one of the most messed up things in the show given he killed his father and basically became a father figure to little Johnny since then. Thank God big Johnny found that floor panel to open that other door. This would’ve been painfully ironic since Rock set up ghostblade right after telling him to go after Johnny. Would’ve basically killed him for nothing. Rock is such a piece of shit and seeing E-soul work with him given everything that happened in that arc is crazy. Action stuff aside, Luoli x Nuonuo ship tease??? “Becoming friends with you is the luckiest thing to have happened in my entire life” WITH THE PECK KISS??? Hello??! I know what y’all are. 😂 they’d be such a good couple. |

| Rock having Ghostblade try to assassinate Little and Big Johnny was tense as heck. But then he went and sent E-Soul to kill Ghostblade as well! What an ice cold guy, but I absolutely love a good villain vs villain battle! OG Nice's presence here is also another wrench thrown into the works. Why is he out for blood too??? This secret survey isn't looking so secret! |
 |
| ok wtf is going on did nice come back to life or did this happen before his suicide??? edit: ok stop replying yall i get it |

| Oh my god!! I did not expect things to happen like this, everyone is literally here. Little Johnny is looking at Ghostblade thinking he's the one who did Sheng... is he connecting the dots? I believed in you Ghostblade, I knew you would be feeling some kind of guilt regarding Sheng and Little Johnny if u ever knew their connection, and turns out he did already know? that mf Rock... don't get manipulated!! Little Johnny should be your ally. And E-Soul.. that voice is definitely the Old one??? would that mean the Exchange Soul theory is correct?? . If that is Yang Cheng, I feel so bad for him, he really fell down after what happened and just became a villain, and he'd even be fine working together with Rock. Though I guess, I kinda like how he turned out, different from the rest. The original Nice is also here, since he's under Treeman... It's probably Shang De who sent him here, then it means E-Soul and Nice aren't allies in this but has the same kind of mission (of eliminating everyone in the expedition). Also Big Johnny didn't turn to a Kaiju in the forest, it would be in this barren land so probably next episode? Queen and Cyan are still on their way. Next episode would be crazy! Every heroes we've seen so far are on screen. |

| Yooo what the heck is going on! We getting a hero royal rumble in the desert! There's somethign rly fishy about Mighty Glory as a whole. Why is the president ordering hits left and right. Need moar!! MOAR!!!!! |
| I really like how nicely everything is coming together to link all 7 of the heroes introduced thus far together despite very disparate backgrounds and motives, but I'm really questioning how they're going to wrap up the story in only 5 more episodes WHILE ALSO introducing 3 more heroes after things come to a head next week. Unless we get thrown a MAJOR curveball we assume all of the heroes will survive so they can be in the top 10 in the "present day" at the conclusion of episode 4... but how does the series justify the time lag between these events versus the present day? It seems impossible that the heroes can all survive these assassination attempts without some kind of major blow up within the hero commission over so many heroes trying to kill each other. Maybe they somehow sweep it all under the rug of "secret mission" secrecy, but I don't know how all of these conflicts can be put on "pause" after the battle is over. Are Ghostblade and E-soul really going to just stop going after each other and constantly look over their shoulder waiting for the other to try to kill them instead of trying to finish them off? Honestly, this series feels like it needs more run time to further develop the plot, but I'm guessing we're just going to get a rushed conclusion at the end to try to wrap everything up in the last episode while simultaneously introducing X. |

| @Seansy if all the heroes survived then i felt some red flag towards Loli's father and the investigation squad |
| I'm hyped, I'm hyped, let's gooooooooo! |
| The next few episodes are going to be absolutely insane. First of all, lesbians. We all saw it coming, let's be honest. The moment also gave us insight into how Ghostblade's absence affected Nuonuo, which I liked. That aside, Nice and E-Soul are on the scene. I wonder if they are working together, or if they are just here at the same time. We know that E-Soul wants to kill everyone to win the Hero Tournament; why does Nice want to kill everyone though? Also, in the next episode preview, Shang says that Nice's perfect persona is something made with fear; how does that work? I like how Ghostblade almost intended to kill Little Johnny, and then realized that he was being manipulated by Rock the moment E-Soul showed up. If he doesn't reconcile with Nuonuo and his family completely after this, I would be very surprised. Wait... That sounds like death flags to me. Oh no. At the end of Queen's arc, we saw Big Johnny going berserk. Because of this, I assume someone died. So, who is it? I also wonder if Queen and Cyan recognized Big Johnny. In retrospect, it's kind of funny how we thought Queen was getting a vacation for her mental health, when she was being manipulated by Micky the entire time. |
| Damn, Yang Cheng (New E-Soul) and the old Nice at the same place ❤️🔥❤️🔥 Is what happened here would lead to Old Nice committing suicide !? So excited for the next episode !! |

| @assignedgengar This is new E-Soul (Yang Cheng) |
Reply to LucenProject
Which e-Soul was that?
Like how little Johnny knew GhostBlade was there.
Time for a "Rumble in the Wreckage".

| At the of the last few episodes I seem to say, "What the f**k," without even realizing I'm saying it. But seriously WTF? Now we know the lie Ghost Blade was told about Sheng. |
| Wait I think this is og E Soul, someone else in this thread made a comment about how og E Soul has a prosthetic arm. So maybe this next ep he’s defeated by ghost blade hence by cutting his arm off. With queen and cyan coming into next ep and big Johnny going berserk I think there’s a good chance we see X come back into the story. |
| it just keeps getting better and better. the depth they add to each hero, neglecting none. they absolutely stick to the main motto - 'everyone can be a hero'. this is probably the best anime that came out this year. |

| bro nice fucking jumpscared me |
| Great episode, but this non-linear time line gets me so confused. How long ago did the events around the spaceship exploration occur? Obviously the Nice we saw there was the original Nice and not the Commoner, but which version of E-Soul was there, was it the original E-Soul or Yang Cheng? edit: I'll need to see the next episode to confirm it, but at the end of his arc Yang Cheng has a prosthetic right arm which the E-Soul in this episode appears to not and others are speculating that OG E-Soul loses his arm in the clash with Ghostblade. |

| @pixelante New E-Soul lost his arm in a fight with Old E-Soul. He's shown standing over the pile of rubble with his right arm gone directly after killing him. Also, you can view the timeline here. |

| @HadeZerX yes, also it looks the the ep19 E-Soul is wearing the electrokineticis armour as well which is further evidence this is the og E-Soul. |

| @pixelante Besides what the person above me said (I literally linked the timeline for you to check it yourself lol), original E-Soul's arm was gone waaaaaaaay back, when he saved Yang Cheng twenty years ago. He probably lost it in a fight against Zero. The armor used in Episode 19 is exactly the same armor Yang Cheng uses at the very end of his story arc. His voice is the voice of Yang Cheng, not the old E-Soul. I see no reason to believe this is old E-Soul, unless we assume he possessed Yang Cheng's body at the last moment in their fight, but there's been no solid proof for this theory either. |

| another amazing ep!!! this must before nice and e-soul were replaced |
 |
| E-Soul has Yang Cheng's voice. E-Soul has the golden details from Yang Cheng's redesign of the armor. This E-Soul who currently tries to kill Ghostblade & The Johnnys IS Yang Cheng. The OG E-Soul is gone. The manipulated one by Rock has always been Yang Cheng. So... all heroes from Mighty Glory and TREEMAN are after the alien tech and are willing to kill other heroes and civilians for it? That means Dragon Boy and Wreck (maybe even Moon, hence why Yang Cheng kills her later because she knows too much?) might join the mess next episode to support E-Soul and Nice if we continue where it ended now. Things are heating up! |

| damn they really made the new E-Soul the biggest fraud ever after he aurfarmed so much last time |
