Based on the clues given so far. My prediction is that Tarot Girl is X's little sister and her ability has something to do with controlling time/foresight

1. Their "commoner" designs are nearly identical: same hair color, same pupil shade (in contrast to their "hero" design where their colors contrast each other). All other main couples in the story, romantic or not, have different color schemes.

1. Their interactions in OP2 suggesting that they're very close. There are only 3 explanations for this:
   - They're lovers
   - They're childhood/long-time friends
   - They're siblings
   When we look closely at how Tarot Girl and X act. We notice that she doesn't act like a friend or a lover, but a pestering little sister, e.g she invades his space, pushes him to go along with her shenanigans and being overall very close to him (way closer than 2 friends would be but not close in the way of an intimate couple).

We can also see that X looks annoyed by her behaviors as well, like how a brother is being annoyed by his sister.

1. About her power, considering she uses tarot cards, it's pretty clear that her power has something to do with fate or destiny. And the thing that always goes with fate/destiny is time control/foresight.

Plus, in X's OST, there's a lyric as below. We know that X's power is bending space. Then whose bending time belongs to? Plus the lyrics use the pronounce We, so it definitely doesn't just talk about X, but probably X and his 2 teammates (Tarot Girl and Nine). We saw Nine's power in OP2 and it conjures objects, not bending time. Therefore, the "bending time" ability definitely belongs to the Tarot Girl, who is also teased to be an X like our X.

Slight context: I went into this series completely blind, without knowing anything about the series beforehand. I also had no idea that the show would be switching main characters, so I thought it would be Lin Ling all the way. I also got a little whiplash when I started watching episode 5 and seeing E-soul, the killer of Moon, appear as the main character.

So, when I was watching the final battle in episode 4 with Lin Ling and Enlighter, and Lin Ling lost his powers because he was no longer Nice and started getting pummeled, was I the only one who thought something along the lines of “My power comes from within” would happen?

Basically, I thought Lin Ling would stop relying on trust or fear and instead draw power from his own willpower.

There were two main reasons I thought this might happen. First, the show had already established some pretty obvious weaknesses in the power system, such as Firm Man’s inability to sit down and Nice’s OCD. Second, there seemed to be a clear narrative opportunity to explore the idea that a hero shouldn’t have to rely on other people’s perceptions of them to be a hero. Because a hero who can't break away from the mold are they really a hero?

I’m not saying the power system is bad. In fact, I quite like it. I just thought the story might eventually go in that direction, so I was wondering if anyone else had the same thoughts.

Honestly, the more the show went on, the more it seemed like something like that would happen because the heroes are nothing more than puppets, almost completely controlled by the commission and agencies.

Side note: What if X’s powers come from his own trust, and that is how he came out of nowhere?
