yo…. when jet breaks in the tea shop and accuses zuko and iroh of beinh firebenders….

do you think any of the patrons looked at zukos scarred face - obviously done by a firebender - and immediately think jet was an asshole? like

jet: hes a firebender!!!!

patrons, thinking about the backstory they concocted for zuko and iroh where their home was invaded by firebenders and they barely survived with their lifes so they could come and have a peaceful life selling tea in a city the war doesnt touch:

I just realised that the entire arc of E-Soul, with all its decisions that seemed strange for a mega-corporation CEO, can actually be easily explained by the fact that it was old E-Soul who killed Zero. ‘God’ of Yan Mo.

The whole thing with Yang Cheng was literally the most humiliating way to get rid of old E-Soul for the man. Rock really didn't need to deal with all this personally for three years, and I always thought he was just doing it out of love for the game, but with his attachment to Zero, it all takes on such a heavy additional layer. ‘All your sacrifices mean nothing.’ ‘You're nothing.’ ‘You can be replaced by any random student, and people will love it.’ ‘Not just any random, but your fan and cosplayer. Someone who loves you will take everything away from you, and the people you've spent your whole life protecting will support him.’ ‘You'll die a murderer.’

‘Neither your life nor your death mattered.’

Perhaps even the entire marketing strategy of recent years, with E-Soul abandoning active heroism and focusing more on advertising, served only to humiliate E-Soul and send him down this downward spiral. ‘All these sacrifices so that you can become a puppet in beautiful armour.’

Say what you want, but this man knows how to arrange his chairs.

Peak comedy is Enlighter defence was basically calling Yang Cheng broke and dumb LMAO

[menomelissa]

Lucky Cyan's arc is like. What if hope transcends death? What if the power of love is real? What if love could save one person and thus save everyone? What if I cried watching a bunch of strangers use their final moments to pass on their final wishes to a child they didn't know in the hopes that at least she would live on in their stead?

Watch To Be Hero X in the Original Chinese Audio, with English Subs

When the show just premiered, Crunchyroll labeled Japanese as the original audio. The Chinese audio is also listed at the very bottom of the audio options for some reason. These have led to a lot of people not knowing that Chinese is actually the original and causing reuploaders to only post the Japanese/English dubs. So if you don't have access to official channels because of region-locking or whatever reason, then you’ll have a hard time googling for the Chinese version.

But fret not! I will download each episode as they come out and share them with you.

Here’s a folder link to the Chinese episodes.

To access the folder, you need to enter this key:

XQRXPfDB9jUAgZYflCFrMg

And to watch the video, you need to open it in a media player that supports .mkv files, like VLC Media Player.

If you can pay to watch TBHX in official channels, then please do so to support the creators of the donghua. This link is really more for those who are region-locked from accessing the Chinese versions.

i honestly started sobbing when the truth behind Cyan's luck was revealed. “your good fortune stemmed from others' misfortune” but no in reality, her good fortune stemmed from so many people wishing her to live!! and live well!! and she carries those wishes always!!

also also also. isn't it nice to finally see a hero who actually saved the one they wanted desperately to save?

[menomelissa]

Lin Ling's arc was about establishing what the rules of the world even were

Yang Cheng’s arc was about how malicious actors can use those rules/ others' compliance with the rules to screw people over

Cyan's arc was about how the rules aren't set in stone and that a happy ending is still possible

Liu Yuwei's arc was about how by forming genuine connections and building up a real support system, you can put yourself in a position to reforge the rules entirely

In this essay I will-

[menomelissa]

imagine you're going to church watching the choir sing while you pray and suddenly the main singer takes off her robes and turns into hatsune miku (with roller blades) and breaks into a pop number. what would you do

[menomelissa]

Little Johnny was honestly so real for going "you can't just parent your child sometimes, you're their parent always" in front of the two deadbeat dads of these last two arcs

[menomelissa]

I need original Nice's real name to know who to mourn I'm so fucking serious rn. If I have to call him one more time by the name of the sickness they forged for him I'm gonna scream

He was not Nice. Nice could fly. Nice was perfect. Whoever died that day couldn't fly. Didn't want to. Rejected the very notion of it with every inch of his being. Whoever died that day chose to fall the way regular people would do, because he, too, was just a person. And he was never more himself than he was at that moment. The only real thing we see of him is the way he finger guns and smiles, and looks so very bitter, so very tired.

I need his name so I can know who was lost in the fucked up system tbhx shows us. I can't keep calling him by the very word that got him killed guys I can't

[menomelissa]

Yes I know that capitalism killing people is a central part of TBHX. BUT it's hysterical that X is broke. He gave Cyan ONE SINGLE COIN. He took all the sugar packets from his 9-5 job while being the world's most famous celebrity. He probably teleports because he does not have a car. Imagine being near omniscient and fucking broke.

i cant get over nices fuckass bedroom. COMPLETELY empty save for one statue. of himself. at the entrance. bed on the floor. surrounded by water. blanket is a millimeter thick and a single square foot. this is truly the bedroom of a man who lives alone

[menomelissa]

I just love seeing memes of the heroes living in the same building. I gotta sit down and make a relationship chart of these heroes to follow who's got beef with who.
