This complements a twitter post about feminism in TBHX with my own thoughts.

Our motivations for a better world can all be incorporated into the system, just like feminism was a marketing move for DOS. Like it's been said in the aforementioned twitter post, neither Bowa or Queen intended to rebel against the hero system and got pitted against eachother because of the resentment generated by it.

What ends Bowa's fight is the realization that she can't even participate in the tournament anymore since she lacks trust to be in top 10. Queen was not her true enemy all this time. But a hero system that lost interest in her once a shiny new toy showed up.

I hope Queen, since she was the one saying it in the end of the fight, has this same clarity. To bring order or change the hero system is not enough, they have to bring forth bigger changes.

So yeah, this fight is useless because it's rendered useless in a world that takes our motivations as money makers, as big spetacles. If that was intentional... I hope so.

TBHX explores the meaning about being a hero, and from my hopeful perspective, most characters end their arc with incomplete narratives, they are still looking for the meaning of being a hero.

Literally, most of them were running very bad or shallow reasons to be heroes and they finally start to think about what actually it means to be a hero by the end of their arc. They all have pretty good reasons to join X in defying fate.
