One because he is already captured and when you play the card you only have one in battle

The real question is, how did the attacker have inish to play Sons of Thunder...  8/6 > 1/1

The other remark is, since King Zedekiah makes Dungeon CBN, then Sons of Thunder couldn't interrupt it even if John had init.

However, in case you are curious: Say you block James and John with Beast from the Earth (10/10). You play Dungeon to capture James. John plays Sons of Thunder. Since the interrupt pauses the effect of the enhancement, James has not been captured yet, and X=2 when SoT completes.

If you block with King Zed (or some other guy that makes Dungeon CBN) and let's say he is somehow >7/8, then you play Dungeon to capture James. John now has initiative to play SoT, but he can't interrupt Dungeon, so X=1.
