We need to talk about how cool TBHX’s in universe advertising is

So far, we’ve gotten promotional videos for 3/4 of the major hero companies (if yall can find DoS lmk)

I love how each video is framed as “in universe” promotional material. Advertisements played on billboards, a tech talk show. They’re so well made. They look like they could be real!

And it’s so cool how each one is unique and fitted to its company (like real companies with their unique brands). FOMO’s looks exactly like those weird product promotions that tech company CEO’s would give, complete with the empty stage and giant screen. Their logo is smooth and “futuristic”. It has that smooth animation you see in Apple ads. Zac even does the stupid Ted talk “loaf of bread” hand motions (I’m sorry I’m not sure how to phrase this)

MG has that upright “masculine” vibe you usually see in truck or military service ads. It’s very much framed in that, Be a Hero by becoming part of a larger cause. Seriously! Replace the shots of E-soul with a decorated military commander and I wouldn’t be suprised if the ending said “Join the Airforce to protect your country today”.

And despite also being a video ad, Treeman Corp. has an ad with a totally different vibe. It’s very bright and refreshing. Something that feels like it’s targeted towards young people. Also terrible reminder that Treeman doubles as a fucking real estate company. Their greed knows no bounds.

What I love about these videos is how they give us insight into the universe of TBHX that we don’t really get to see in the show. We’re always shown the dirty, behind-the-scenes stuff. The view from up high. But obviously the regular people of this world aren’t aware of that. And these companies have public images just like any other successful company.

Stuff like this really makes the world of To Be Hero X feel real. Fleshed out. It’s kinda a shame we don’t get to see much of this in the show. So much was cut and left in the extra promotional videos instead (*cough* queen— who said that)

Anyway, this is my way of saying PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE I NEED ENG TRANSLATIONS OF THE PROMOTIONAL MATERIAL I WILL SELL MY BROTHER’S KIDNEY PLEASE

Shitty doodles again

I choose to believe MG never let's them on important missions together because whenever you unite the three of them they enter a "boys will be boys" like state and start doing incomprehensible bullshit

Ohh are these new? I don't remember seeing them in the website before (forgive google translate it's doing its best)

THE LEAD COMPANIES IN TO BE HERO X PLAY TO EVER SPIN, NOT TO WIN

I recently posted how I realized that the game that the CEO's are depicted playing in the opening of To Be Hero X is not necessarily a game associated with strategy or skill or grand chessmastering

You don't really control that roulette wheel. You guess. maybe it's a more complex game that uses the same mechanism but then it stopped and made me think what does that actually symbolize

And then suddenly I realized it. this is why everybody is invested in fear and why even professor Luo's work

It's like the wheel of samsara or RINNE or what have you. You see these guys are trying to make sure that the wheel is for ever spinning but never stops because when the wheel stops is when you have a winner of the game. And they don't want a winner of the game. They want constant rotation, because if it's rotating the no 1's not gathering more and more power beyond a certain level or can be replaced at any time. Most of your guys will crash out. You can usually control them afterwards or they realize that their power can be taken away

This is why they're so manipulative. Their job isn't in order to make the most profit and then screw over the heroes- though it does need that - but it's a means to one specific end. Make sure that there isn't another 0 and the way that they've decided to do that is to always make sure there's another X and another one on the way.

Anyone who makes it to the top suddenly finds that the position is the least stable possible they are on the one part that's easy to knock everyone from but is very unprivate, a monumental vulnerability for belief/emotion based systems.

The thing is this means that while they might act like masterminds they're not really in control. They are slaves to that wheel.

They may be acting higher and be able to treat the heroes as coin or betting pieces or something

But they can't stop playing or else they and everything they built dies

It's why they exist and it's why they operate the ways they do

The only way off this ride is to find some way to put the trust genie back in the bottle. But they probably don't want to do that either because it means giving up all of their power
