To Be Hero X episode 2: Explaining the relationship between Nice and Wreck
To Be Hero X episode 2, titled Moon, featured a brief flashback to the beginning of Nice's career. Accompanied by his best friend, Wreck, the two stuck together during tough times and continued dreaming of becoming heroes. When they were given a chance to become heroes, they had to take on different roles to raise Nice's Trust Value.
Trending
As a true best friend, Wreck never complained about his role as long as he could spend time with Nice. Unfortunately, their time together was short-lived, as Nice's Trust Value skyrocketed, preventing Wreck from seeing his best friend again.
These two reunited during the wedding ceremony of Moon and Nice in To Be Hero X episode 2. The ceremony was just a facade, as suggested by Nice, to free Moon from the media spotlight by getting her killed at the hands of Wreck. As expected, being Nice's best friend, Wreck soon realized that the one fighting him wasn't his old friend.
After he learned that the real Nice had died, Wreck broke loose and wreaked havoc. Fortunately, Nice and Moon handled him, but he fell apart upon realizing that he couldn't be with his best friend when Nice needed someone.
Reaction from fans
The fandom was in awe of Nice and Wreck's friendship, which couldn't have a happy ending. Surprisingly, the internet wanted Wreck to become a villain and seek revenge on the world, as he deserved answers from his friend, who died without any form of contact.
"I need wreck to live and become a villain," a fan said.
"Justice for Wreck, poor guy," another one said.
"I fully support Wreck's villain arc if it includes successfully destroying the damn Treeman company cause that company is corrupted as f**k," another fan said.
Furthermore, some fans wanted Wreck to channel his anger toward the agency that appointed Nice. In reality, this agency separated the best friends, and according to fans, it deserved to be destroyed.
Lastly, a Spanish fan informed the internet about the Spanish dub's breaking lines, in which Wreck was more direct about how Nice betrayed him by using him (Wreck) to climb to the top.
"There's something heartbreaking in the Spanish dub too. When Wreck says "Something that I thought was a form of sustenance in disguise" when talking about how he helped Nice get Trust, in Spanish he says "Something that would help you live and grow," another one claimed.
Final thoughts
The tale of Nice and Wreck serves as another reminder that To Be Hero X may not only be creating a perfect blend of 2D and 3D animation styles but also crafting a narrative in which friendship plays a significant role.
Nice's mysterious death could be a big mystery. Still, the relationship between Nice and Wreck—briefly touched upon for a few seconds in To Be Hero X episode 2—might represent an even bigger mystery that likely won't find closure in the future.
