A Theory About the Hero Symbols of Nice and Zero, Lin Ling
Lately, I've been spending a lot of time on the voting website and have been paying close attention to the art and hero symbols of each character. The more I look, the more I feel there’s a deeper meaning to them, so I wanted to share this with everyone.
1. Nice's Art and the Sun
First off, I have to say that Nice is the character with the most unique art, even more so than X. It's not just that his art was changed; it's the Sun symbol behind him. This isn't just a static background; it's an animated image that can move left and right just like the character's symbol. This seems to be exclusive to Nice, a unique feature only he has.
Second, this sun is different from Nice's hero symbol (HS). Not many heroes are associated with more than one symbol. For example, X has his 'X' tie, Queen has her spear, Cyan has the four-leaf clover, and Dragon Boy has the circle on his forehead. All of these match their respective symbols, but Nice's has nothing in common with his. His HS looks like a tornado or, as some friends have suggested, an "eclipse"—which I'll talk about later. Even though it's not his official HS, the sun image is everywhere with him—in his art, on merchandise like rings, and so on.
2. The Theory of Nice and Zero's Sun
Speaking of the eclipse and the sun, the person most related is Zero. The sun has many meanings: it represents the power of belief, light, authority, goodness, and victory.Zero was once the greatest "Sun," but when his fear went beyond its limits, the sun became an eclipse, obscuring his reason, absorbing his light and belief, and completely turning him into the most terrifying antagonist, a true evil deity.
Nice's HS is an eclipse, which suggests that Nice is following the exact same path as Zero. He is also facing a similar "degeneration," where his belief is being obscured by fear. If not for a small hiccup (X got involved, right? XD), he would have completely changed too.
However, Nice is always accompanied by the sun, whether before or after Episode 24. This makes me think of two things: the compass and the memorial stone in the movie. This might be a hint that no matter what path Nice takes and what the final outcome is, there will always be a light, a compass needle to guide him toward goodness.
3. Nice and Lin Ling's HS on the Website
I'm telling you, besides X, Nice and Lin Ling are either the centers of Season 2 or at least the most important. The website code is so obvious!!!
Compared to Nice, Lin Ling's symbol is clearer: a shining sun. He and Nice are like two sides of the same coin—one is the sun, the other is an eclipse. But there would be nothing to write about if it was just that. The developers went so far as to put both of their hero symbols into the tasks used to earn votes on the website. I guarantee anyone who's voted has seen these two symbols, whether they paid attention or not.One is tied to "One-time Chance," and the other is tied to "Daily Chance."
For those who don't know, this is the foundation for farming votes. When you sign up, you get a large number of votes from the first section, and second, you log in daily to farm votes from the second section. Based on this, both of them can be seen as the "keys" or "foundation" of this very "Value of Trust"
* Nice - "One-Time Chance": Nice's HS is linked to tasks like the one-time new-user gift, which gives a lot of votes. This could symbolize a single, decisive event or a unique moment. This "One-time Chance" shows that Nice's role might be fateful—a singular, unrepeatable event that has a permanent impact.
* Lin Ling - "Daily Chance": In contrast, Lin Ling's symbol is tied to tasks that can be completed daily. This reflects Lin Ling's very nature and his philosophy on what it means to be a hero. He isn't a fated hero with special powers from the start. Instead, he becomes a hero by accumulating "belief" and doing small, consistent things every day. The "Daily Chance" represents the perseverance, effort, and process that Lin Ling went through to become a hero, which aligns with his statement that "anyone can become a hero." This can also be seen as a foreshadowing of his gradual rise and his potential to create a turning point for the future generation of heroes.
