My own take on why the Enlightener was trying to expose Nice would either be:

He found evidence of cover-up with Nice and the Hero Smile incident. Cause indications and screenshots of that has been circle both here and Twitter. Even LH0 has been teasing about dark turn Nice possibly committed.

He is a petty paparazzi troll. He was probably jealous of Nice's personage and status as a hero that he maybe believe digging up or fabricating dirt would bump his own ranking.

Hopefully we get more Villains similar, in motivation, trying to expose the Hero Commission being picked up by the Spotlight Organization. It adds a layer of dark gray, if Spotlight is mostly trying to expose the hypocrisy in the Commission.

By making heroes essential brands, and having their own villains on payroll within agencies, I certainly can say that it would be interesting if Spotlight is composed of the former Golden Age of Villains and they are feed up with how they themselves have been pushed out of the spot light.

*Ba Dum tss*

But real talk, we'll probably learn with time, probably in the episode focused on Hero Tower.

man why was enlighter even looking into nice. he wasn't just trying to dig up dirty laundry, he was framing it as exposing nice for the good of the public. he even looked into the mistreatment of contract companies by nice('s pr team). i feel like we all glossed over the part where treeman legit fucked over lin ling's previous company for no other reason except to cover its own ass after og!nice dies.

obviously enlighter is framed as the antagonist (and he also is the antagonist) but like what's his motive? he seems genuinely convinced that nice is this goliath figure he has to fight against, but he somehow never entertains the idea that nice could be just as constrained by his trust value as enlighter is, or that nice is also beholden to treeman as an employee. i'm so curious about this guy. what does he know about og!nice that we don't?

You know that strange itchy feeling you get when you see a character pop up enough times, you grow assumptions that you kinda hope your wrong about.....

Well that was me with this EP. of TBHX........(Spoilers ahead!!)

It might be because I'm already overprotective of E-Soul/Yang Cheng, But Shang Chao gives me the biggest Suspect vibes after re-watching the Ep. 3 times.

The first thing that caught my attention was his name: SHANG CHAO

Now we were already introduced to a Mr. Shang ( Not Shand, Good these english translation are such a mess), who is CEO of the Treeman Corporation after being the son of upper management in Mighty Glory.

But by the timeline, it can't the same person. So I thought cause of the name and the connects Treeman does have, he could possibly be the CEO's son/relative.

Having a different vision but the same cycle wanting to break into the Hero enterprise.

He has ambitious goal, which you got to be going against the Big 4 agencies. ( especially with DOS buying others out.)

However, he was able to get a spot, at MG, as a judge for the anniversary of one of their top heroes.

It could be because he's a possible Nepo baby or have a prodigy's eye, but him casually and inadvertently cockblocking Yang Cheng, pulling away his focus.

Now this could all be a misunderstanding. And misunderstanding is one of the most used tropes to create tension or false perceptions. Which during my first watch, maybe he's a cool guy, a friendly guy......

A guy that has a secret crush on Yang Cheng this whole time....

But while this was happening:

This is happening:

THAT MOTHERFUCKER IS GONE!!

HE IS ONE OF THE PANELING JUDGES AND HE IS GONE!!

So that detail caused me to think, what if he was the one who set that whole kidnapping scheme. He is obviously close to Yang Cheng's crush, and even has connections to get tickets to a concert she obviously wanted to go to.

So If he has connections to do something like this, than he has the means to make offers that could change a persons life financially.

Which brings me back to his ambitions

And how far is he willing to go for them.....?

It's too coincidental for this guy to show up every time Yang Cheng is with this girl and him showing up as judge for a competition he's participating in.

While the prevs for next episode show him being on Yang Cheng side, and I wanna believe this guy has his heart in the right place...

....but it's too eerie for me NOT to see that their is something sinister in his presence.

fingers crossed that I'm wrong 🤞🏾
