** The conversation between Tokio and his father in chapter 35 is often cited as one of the sweetest moments in the manga. Tokio's father had more-or-less been in the background prior to this and, even when he did show up, he didn't really have much in the way of significant dialogue. However in just this one scene, the audience is able to see him as a genuinely loving, supportive father who has Tokio's back no matter where his path in life takes him.
** The ending of Chapter 41, where [[spoiler:Palma awakes from a nightmare to find herself being carried by Tokio midflight. It's in all likelihood one of the very few acts of kindness she's received throughout her miserable life.]]
** Chapter 43. [[spoiler:After Momoma dishes out some serious BrutalHonesty to Tokio and Azuma, the two of them finally decide to stop avoiding the issue and talk to each other again. The two of them break out into a fistfight over their feelings of resentment. Azuma then comes clean to Tokio about having feelings for Ely, to which Tokio initially expresses shock but subsequently [[ShipperOnDeck tries to give Azuma some advice]], and the two of them return to Yamato Mori together. While it's clear that the issues between them are far from being resolved, seeing them finally make an effort to repair their relationship is definitely satisfying.]]
** [[spoiler:Michael's nervous breakdown in chapter 51. Seeing the guy break down crying out of sheer terror of Zora is hard to watch, but the scene quickly becomes very heartfelt when Momoma and Azuma give Michael some warm words of encouragement by sharing opening up and sharing their own experiences with fear]].

* MemeticMutation: Shoujo X[[labelnote:Explanation]]Following the {{timeskip}}, there was a rather noticeable increase in focus on romance between the cast, [[spoiler:Tokio/Palma and Azuma/Ely in particular]]. Many have started to jokingly refer to Choujin X as a [[ShoujoDemographic Shoujo series]]. The fact that the author, Sui Ishida, had developed an [[VisualNovel/JackJeanne Otome game]] certainly contributed to it.[[/labelnote]]

* GrowingTheBeard: Few, if any, fans are going to tell you that the first few arcs aren't good. However, many fans will point to either the Moon Beast arc (chapters 18-24) and beyond as when the story truly comes into its own, with the [[KudzuPlot initially confusing plot]] revealing itself to the audience and the characters breaking past their initial archetypes and [[CharacterDevelopment growing into layered, three-dimensional individuals]].

The first 24 chapters are the story's ''prologue'', with them mostly being dedicated to setting up ideas and character arcs. And while said ideas and arcs ''do'' get payoff later down the line, the slow-burn pace can be a turnoff to some people.

While the theory had always been around for a while, it really took off in chapter 47 when [[spoiler:Ely admits that she plans to steal Zora's power.]] It also ties nicely into how each era's Choujin X was shown to ultimately accomplish the exact ''opposite'' of what initially they set out to do, as Zora was the one who indirectly awakened Ely's powers by ordering Chandra to attack the plane.]]
** Another popular theory involving Ely is that she's related to Antitise on her [[DisappearedDad father's side]]. The main logic behind this theory is that while the other main characters all have powers directly connected to a legendary figure of the past (Tokio with Sora, Azuma with Queem, and Palma with Bill Morth), Ely's powers are seemingly a total anomaly. If one ''were'' to connect her to a major historical figure, the only one remaining would be Antitise. And given that [[spoiler:Sora committed genocide throughout Antoland to wipe out Antitise's lineage, it's entirely reasonable for Ely's unnamed father to have been a refugee who joined Ely's mother in her band of thieves. Many also argue that it fits rather nicely into how, of all the main characters, Ely is the one who Zora has it out for the most.]]

Once the reader finds out ''why'' all this is happening, all the previous events are cast in a completely different light.

Actually I think it’s way too premature to say if Azuma should be counted here. He’s still in the middle of his character arc which could conclude in a lot of different ways. From what I can tell a good chunk of the disagreements are based on where his character IS GOING, and trying to give a definitive answer one way or another is going into WMG territory.

Some fans sympathize with or even relate to his issues while other fans just find him flat-out unlikable. Many fans also tend to be a mix of both camps.
