I presume they might announce a 3rd Season alongside the premiere date for Season 2, like they recently did with DuckTales.
So, I came across something very interesting. What it could mean is anyone's guess.
Don't say that. They never, EVER gave Slade a concrete solid reason to obsess over Robin. I'd only want this series to make Obake / Hiro like that if I wanted it to suck.What's Obake's deal, with Hiro exactly? I've been watching this since day 1, and I'm still not too sure what he wants. I know his big master plan with the painting and the bay is supposed to be a mystery, I just wish they 'd convey his reason for obsessing over Hiro, a bit better, like Slade with Robin in TT.
Technically, until "Apprentice" we were never given any hints for Slade's obsession over Robin.What's Obake's deal, with Hiro exactly?

I'll admit, I may be looking back with a tint of nostalgia, but I'd still like to know why he feels Hiro is so important. Take Granville, she had a vague interest in Hiro at the beginning, as well. Now we know exactly why, she sees a potential Obake in him. We can guess it's the same for Obake himself, but then I'd like to know why he'd care if Hiro reminded him of himself.Don't say that.

So far they are hedging their bets with Obake's motives. Which is good. Because there won't be a ton of previous episodes contradicting them when we learn what they are.
This is off-topic but I feel I need to address it, and then I'll go back to admiring this show. But Slade most certainly did NOT want Robin as an apprentice until the very last episode of the first season. His motivations earlier in the season are completely inconsistent with that idea.At least with Slade we knew he wanted Robin as an apprentice. why... who knows. But,he was obsessing over Robin because he wanted an apprentice. I still don't know if Obake wants Hiro to join him, stay out of his way, just be evil like himself for the heck of it, or simply to spite Granville.

Getting back on topic, the Tadashi we see here is probably from a nightmare, a vision, or something involving Obake.
Here is Daniel Henney's interview for Tadashi.
Going by the episode synopsis, it's likely not a dream, and therefor probably Obake's doing.Getting back on topic, the Tadashi we see here is probably from a nightmare, a vision, or something involving Obake.
Slade and Obake not showing any reasons for their actions isn't really a bad thing though. It just adds so much mystery to the characters. Plus before the big reveals, we know at least know that Slade and Obake's motivation was to test the protagonist.FINAL FINAL off topic: HA! @Fone Bone you're absolutely right! I skimmed though a few old episodes with Slade and he is indeed... just there. No motivation besides "cartoon antagonist." Nostalgia glasses at their finest. I retroactively attributed all of his actions to a reason that was very short lived. And just to be clear, I never wanted Obake to be more like Slade. Despite my childhood love of TT, I never really liked Slade too much.
Back on topic. Obake clearly has bigger plans then Hiro. Maybe Hiro is just a very small, very crucial part of his grander scheme. I do hope his exposition won't be rushed.
That was not Slade's motivation at all until the end of the season. He was actually trying to destroy the Titans and the city.Slade and Obake not showing any reasons for their actions isn't really a bad thing though. It just adds so much mystery to the characters.

This IS however Obake's motivation which is why it's holding up way better than Teen Titans ever did.
