| Lessgo Ahu. The 6 min X PV is canon Nice was absolutely pathetic this ep lmao |
 |
| We have come full circle now. Next episode will either be in the present or shortly before that to address moon's apparent assassination and/or X's backstory before moving towards the future with the start of the hero tournament. This was a banger. I was actually tearing up a bit at the climax because the girl really could have died there if the director wanted them too. We've seen enough sad endings to know that it can happen by this point. I don't know why people think X set up/forced Nice to kill himself just because we had the snap sound in the background. His mental state has pretty clearly fallen of a cliff (pun intended) given Smile's death and Ahu overtaking him in the hero rankings. We also just saw X save Nice in the last episode from getting killed, so turning around to kill him so soon right after doesn't make sense imo. I think the snap was just to show a fast forwarding of time and change in the animation style. Looking forward to the last episode to set up season 2. This has been an amazing series to watch. |

This end of the episode was incredible, Nice fell to rock bottom and X snapped his fingers and forced Nice to commit suicide to free himself? You can clearly see in this scene that he is the one pushing Nice towards this place with the sound of the finger snapping and the change to 3D, so did he also erase Nice's memories?
There is one episode left. I remember that in the opening credits when we introduce the old X heroes, we have a woman and a man dressed as cowboys, but I never saw them in the episodes.

| @ROVI65 The cowboy heroes were addressed previously but have never been shown from what I recall. HadeZerX said: Mr. Matchstick and Ms. Blazing Fire become X pair in 26 AC, which is stated in Episode 8 (they're said to be the last season X pair). Depending on when their scandal happens, they're either 1 or 2-times (28 AC) X pair. Want to give credit where credit is due to this GOAT creating a timeline of events for everyone to use. So they were former Xs just like all the others we have seen, but were only briefly mentioned in the series thus far. |

@ZXEAN as I said to free him because he had already hit rock bottom (in addition to being corrupted by fear), it's different from Dragon boy who assumes himself as a villain and if he really wanted to teleport him to save Lin he wouldn't have lost his memory. At the moment when Nice jumps into the void we see the white birds accompanying him and we know that these birds are linked to X thanks to the opening and ending credits
| @ROVI65 Your theory make no sense to me. Whenever someone hit rock bottom X help him in commiting sucide ? Lol. ROVI65 said: Never knew that was a thing 🥴Nice jumps into the void we see the white birds accompanying him and we know that these birds are linked to X thanks to the opening and ending credits |

@ZXEAN I invite you to take a better look at the work rather than judging lol well after you still dared to say that he transported Nice so that he could save Lin Ling and gain confidence and thus become a hero again 😭😭 and it seems that you don't even bother to read it properly I added that he was corrupted by fear or you didn't watch the episode 🤣
| @ROVI65 X killing of Nice just sound soo ridiculous too me. Anyway we will see. I don't want to argue over this. |
| Getting a different perspective of the Youtube video of what happened during the clone guy fight was awesome and going full circle to episode 1 was fantastic. I only didn't like Nice's art style this episode - his face seemed weird |

| Unbelievable the series ends next week, amazing episode |

Ironically, when this show first started coming out, I told myself that even if I didn’t like it, I’d still have to make it to the end for one specific reason, I just had to see Ahu in all his glory... even if it ended up being the literal penultimate episode where he got his time to shine. And oh boy, was the wait worth it. Right off the bat, a completely different art style, neither the 2D we’re used to nor the 3D, but a full-on style change that gives off major TRIGGER vibes.
Main girl literally looks like Ryuuko lol. It’s a nice change of pace compared to the breakneck action intensity of the everyday heroes we’re used to seeing. Here, it’s just your above-average girl... apparently, because damn she was dodging those goons, with your also above average dog that just happened to butt into the middle of Nice’s mission. And speaking of Nice, would it really be complete without our dude X making an appearance and doing his X thing...
... BECUASE JESUS CHRIST, MY GUY HAS UPPED HIS AURA BY A THOUSAND IN THE SPAN OF TWO EPISODES, IT’S CRAZY.
LIKE WHAT EVEN THIS LMAOOOOOO
And ofc, the aforementioned Nice, this is it. That’s right, the thing that led to what we saw all the way back in episode one with him... you can blame it all on a dog. You know, knowing everything now, I don’t blame him for what he did in episode one (or, well, in due time at least, judging by how the episode ended lol). Crazy shit, and it's really all over next episode. All that's left is to finally figure out the question we've been wondering these past 23 weeks...
WHO IS X????

| Banger episode. I've been an Ahu believer from day one; he really is the dog. Xinya was also such a special kid; it's kind of hard not to like her. I wonder if Xinya will interact with the other heroes, or if only Ahu will get screentime going forward. |

....a talking dog with a hat? is this Disney?
The wacky art style of this episode is a bit much for me, deviated too far from the original pretty art style
All seriousness that the show had goes out the window when a dog can talk, even more knowing that the reason Nice ended up killing himself was because a talking dog outranked him and his boss shamed him for it
"you are lower than a dog"? then what even is he if he is not any kind of hero? would he also say that to all the other heroes that got outranked by a dog?
This talk is ridiculous from what is supposed to be a very logical calculative cruel man that uses Nice as an asset, he should be the first one knowing another hero surpassing him doesn't prevent Nice from achieving top 10, the next day Nice could do something incredible that earns him top 10 status, the dog being there doesn't change a thing for him
This dog should have never happened, the reason Nice ends up doing what he does should have been because of Smile's death, not a random dog, feels like they came out of ideas and time to develop the whole "why Nice did it" and said "yeah, whatever, the dog was the final straw"
Dogshit tier episode for an otherwise amazing show so far, hope the dog never shows up again, especially in the tournament

| @IronH3avenZ You got a Guy that can change animation styles on whim and turn ppl into paper balls, Alien creatures that can transform into a giant anubis, goo that drives people insane, but you draw the line with a Dog that can talk huh. |
| I wish they showed that full fight between Phobiaclone and X which they already teased before the show came out but seeing things from Ahu's perspective was so nice. X's really a magician 💥🫰✨ Nice became lower than a dog then how could he have not committed suicide 😭😭💔 |

I was so excited for Ahu's episode and, man, the waiting was worth it.
The choice of turning a dog into a hero seemed very interesting to me from the first time I saw the opening. But, understanding how this world works, I think it was brilliant, especially because his powers are so unconventional and not related at all to what we've already seen in other media. But, even when compared to the previews, the episode showed an even more sophisticated idea of Ahu's powers.
The plot and the comic art style were very charming. Although I'd seen the previews, I got really worried about Xin Ya, but Ahu getting his first trust point was peak.
Overall, it was the most emotionally touching episode. Seeing that grumpy old dog having a flashback with his baby rapt eyes glowing from X's beautiful power, with that background song, was absolutely lovely to see.
Also, it's funny that Ahu becoming a hero was the 13th reason why Nice did what he did. From all characters, Nice has the most interesting and well sculpted plot, very human and tragic, especially when we already know his end.
Yet, there are so many questions I think many will be left to be answered on the next season. It has been a reeeeeally good ride.

| @NathanusMaximus they really should have included this in this episode..'cause many people haven't watched this |
| This episode kind of reminds me the first season of that show. |
| There was a nice jazzy music at one point which immediately reminded me of cowboy bebop and the corgi chase scene, very similar music style in these soundtracks. I'm curious about the finale and I hope it delivers as this show is finishing strong and potentially a 10/10 and aoty contender, everything is coming together quite nicely plot wise and the production quality is still insane |
| How is X so cool. we can have the most Breathtaking fight then X pops up snaps a few times and completely steals the show. Love this series so much def gonna rewatch it a lot in the future and try to convince my friends who are anti 3d to watch |
| I wonder if it was intentional to make the animation more cartoonish because we were suddenly watching dog's pov. And I'm glad for that style because I do not handle well hurt animals, so the less realistic they look, the better... Ahu got only one episode I presume, but it felt as if it did its job and told his story. This is what was missing from Dragon Boy, where the focus was on the fight and some bits of the past. I wish we had more of where he came from... He looks so cool so it's a shame his character was handled the worst (to me! Even if Queen's arc felt as if it wasted some potential, it suddenly looks way better when next to Dragon Boy) We technically don't have X's arc either - he just started slowly showing up in the story. Will the last episode be dedicated to him? |
 |
| I wasn't expecting much from this episode, but I was really impressed, the X in the episode, the dog helping her with the soundtrack coming in and this ending connecting to episode 1 was incredible |
| hello, just a brazilian boy who likes anime |
| Amazing ep The mini journey of Ahu going from a clown to a hero was simply beautiful. Only one ep, yet it hit SO well. I love how Xin Ya always believed in him. X's aura is simply unmatched and when Nice appeared, I had forgotten how much of a "clown" or pawn that he was to Shang. Wow, now the fear is on him and Nice has forgotten who he truly is, as most of us can tell. We really back yall, year 41 and now in 3d with Ling Ling again. I wonder if him forgetting who he was destroyed his trust value and that he willingly emoted and killed himself in the process. 10/10 |

| I just started this series like last week and I'm already caught up. I wonder if now that we are at the point of the first arc...Will we finally get answers on Moon and why she got dealt with in such a way? whew... |
| Don't believe the hype. |
| Hero Nice was surpassed by a stray dog and then he was like: "Nah, I'll quit life" X being Top Tier as always <3 |
| and we've come full circle. loved abu and his relationship with his owner. Can't wait for next week where we're finally getting an episode centred around X |
| And it all comes back to Nice's arc. Pretty dope episode. Seeing X fight like in his trailer was really cool as well, it first felt familiar and then I recognized it shortly after. It was like all coming together too lol. |
 Never ending plan to watch list... |

And he’s My fav hero next to Queen. |
