What an incredible episode. It was full of emotion. Nice couldn't leave to save Moon because the fans influence on his powers wouldn't let him. However the solution was so obvious, he can leave if he ISN'T Nice. The return of Lin Ling! The author really incorporates these mechanics and themes really well in every episode.

The battle was great as expected. Truly the power of love (and fans). Tanjiro was not about to let his opponent run away this time heh! The Hiroyuki Sawano OST hit hard, the guy is doing some of his best work for this show. That ending tho... WTF. I did not expect that. What a cruel ending. Moon did not deserve this after spending so many years living a life she did not want. I hope there's some way to save her, if any.

To Be Hero X continues to be one of the best shows I've seen.

Why in the absolute hell did she have to die? One moment, I am thinking how funny it is that she wanted freedom and got a bit too much of it, how wholesome it is that Lin came back for her, and then next, BOOM, her head's empty. Reminds me of JJK's prequel.

Btw, IMO, God Eye absolutely proved his point with the fake Moon since I also kinda felt frustrated when that Moon turned out to be fake. Should have seen it coming tbh.

Man I really love the Lin Lin getting super powers part. Also yeah I was expecting Moon to die, since it was for shadowed at the start. Honestly I think that was Nice powers allowed Lin Lin to see the future.

the fact that, the next eps is a start of a new arc for another hero introduction...i think all those guys (heroes/heroines) in the opening will have their own introduction arc.

so this cliffhanger.... knowing chinese storytelling standard, i think it's going to take another season to know what the F actually happening here.

because this season probably will spend the entirety of it introducing everyone. maybe so we/spectator can pick our/their hero/heroine.

It is well done, but not even close to being original. This idea has been done to death in different other IP's in different forms.

At-least it is more "original" than shit like My Hero Academia with garbage visuals and generic characters. Not saying this anime has more original characters, but these are copied from better sources.

Lin Ling is reborn! Everything worked out in his favor so that he can become a "true hero".

Knew that "dream" was gonna happen eventually. Everything was going too well.. RIP

"Why should cheaters deserve to be respected and loved? It's all because of this packaging! I'll tear it off. I'll show everyone who really deserves to be revered as a hero?" I understand wanting to expose the twistedness of hero systems, but who did God Eye really want to have recognition?

Wahaha I cheered with Lin Ling's last PV work was aired. And at last he was able to break free from the image of Nice. His death is still a mystery. I can't believe he just showed up and bye bye-ed in just few seconds in episode 1. Lin Ling is being eyed by other agencies now. The cool music building up and playing when he headbutted God Eye. They have used this timing several times and it's always very good. The ending! This series keeps surprising me.

God eye's intentions were valid but looks like the commission is safe again , good for Ling he no more has to act Nice .. God eye ironically helped Ling

damn the ending of ep 1 actually came to be true but man i can help but feel weird about the laughs and body languages at times
looks like the enemy was waiting for someone to teleport towards moon, as no on can reach her otherwise.. guess is they be hunting packaged heroes or.. couldve been sent by commission so she wouldnt cause trouble in future as the dummy used by god eye gave them perfect chance to cover everything

oh and, the buildup towards that headbutt was pretty hype

ig the glitch on screen from ep 1 will be addressed soon too

Lame shock twist ending to what was up to here a solid show. Either it's a fake out, which is lazy since they already did it once, or it's real and it's still lazy to provide pointless shock value with no explanation. The ep 1 "foreshadowing" doesn't make any sense because he doesn't have prophetic powers, nor had any reason to fear her being killed back then.

Final-episode-level stuff. The facade of Nice has been fully exposed reducing Lin Ling to a regular guy once again- but the man rises from the ashes to become his own hero, and in fact even remains at level 10. Thank you to the god eye for the indirect assist... unless the god eye's benefactor has an even broader plan in mind, because....

Yay we get to see Moon again already! And she and Lin Ling are reuniting, I'm gonna cry this is so beauti-

...... oh.

Toji reincarnated back from the dead again. Funny thing is I think I had this spoiled a while back, but I genuinely didn't see it coming right here. Welp that explains the scene at the end of the first episode! Definitely kind of bummed to see her dead already, but also mad respect to the story for not holding back. I'm hoping it's not a cheap death for shock value, but will actually really mean something and influence Lin Ling's decisions and motives from here on out. Bro actually loved her it seems, so no doubt this moment is gonna echo in the back of his mind forever. Let's see how this plays out, and maybe see even in the next episode what the goal was in killing her.

Wow, that was an incredibly intense episode. I didn't think it would happen so soon. The story immediately became darker.

I loved how Lin Ling discarded the Nice persona and became his own hero

I also love this concept of becoming stronger thanks to people's faith and also in relation to the number of followers, if you can say that like that, it reminds me a bit of Noragami

even if in To Be Hero X there are some nuances

on the animation nothing to say it's great

Great episode. Lin Ling proved that he can be a hero just by being himself. And really anyone can become a hero. He no longer needs to live under Nice's shadow.

Of course they had to end the episode with a cliffhanger, is this another dream or is it real this time? Trick question.

Lin Ling was honestly extremely badass in this episode and I'm so pleased that people cheered him on! Anyone can be a hero and Ling Ling proved that.

I was complaining in the last episode that Moon was discovered way too easily but my dude played us and Lin.


BRUH WTF WHO THE HELL WAS THAT? UGH POOR MOON JUST WHEN LIN LING HAD RETURNED FOR HER

Was about to say that this was the best episode thus far, until I saw the ending...like WTF!?! Thought we were getting a happy ending for our boy Lin after all he did, but the author just decides to off her!??? Next episode looks like it's about a new hero, but still....like why?? I really loved Moon. They did foreshadow this in episode 1 I think, but still...why???? And reading the comments, I remembered this also happened in Jujutsu Kaisen to Riko. Why can't we just have a happy ending??💔

(And Lin's power/hero is based off saving and loving Moon...so if she is dead, how will he go on?)
