X's power to bend the reality and the animation itself is soooo good. Absolute spectacle.

Good ep

Morally thought Nice would switch up, but damn the hat would follow was definitely surprising.

So uh, Dragon Boy isn’t even a hero, he’s just a lame pawn with a boring backstory that no cares abt tbh.

They really throwing hands.

X so clutch for that 😮‍💨

Nice to see the CGI models once again, which was obvious as we got to X’s arc closer and closer.

Had to show that fraud what a real hero is 🙂‍↕️

Damn not Smile, tho I fully know why Nice killed himself atp cause he simply wants be himself, the world feels like they can control him, (which they can). This dude Rock thinks he safe huh.

9/10

@TheMaXIM

you must be fun at parties with being a killjoy

at least im enjoying theorizing thats the benefit of original anime you can go wild with theories

also this episode is not 2 years in the past anymore so this backstory episodes will end soon either next episode or the last episode

yeah i get you it's so good making fun theories about it 🔥

Also I'm doing the same as you, I'm just denying that theory of yours so you don't make it seem like a certainty (if anyones falls for the bait i guess).
In my case, i believe she's not Moon and if she really is, there's a mistake with her eyes being different colors (from gray to violet).

That was a fantastic episode. To Be Hero X season 1 started strong, became a little bit less good in the middle, but is almost certainly ending on an incredibly high note as all the buildup is paying off. We don't get shows like this often; the sheer scale and ambitiousness of the worldbuilding is insane.

Smile dies this episode... At least he went out with a smile. I wonder if this indicates that conviction is able to mitigate the effects of fear to an extent; because Smile always believed in smiling for others, he was able to maintain a fragment of his humanity. Anyways; Smile was a good man. His death is definitely the death that hit hardest for me.

I wonder if people would be more sympathetic to Dragon Boy if we learned about his backstory, since he clearly was abused by some people. Still trash in my eyes though, and always will be. X crumpling him was incredibly satisfying.

Speaking of which, X showed up, aura farmed, and sent Rock a message. X showing up despite it being "overtime" for him made Rock realize that he can lure out X by hurting his associates and friends; X is aware of this, and looked at Rock straight in the eye through the camera feed. That was cold.

Next episode is Ahu! Truly the greatest. My personal #1 hero for real. I can't wait to see how much of a dog he is.

The last five minutes or so being the best part of the episode. I underestimated the coolness of X lol.
As much as the backstories add so much characterization to these characters, they tend to drag the story of this anime.

Season 1 of TBHX is all a set up for the tournament that happens in S2.

Dragon Boys story (along with Queen's story) will continue in season 2. Most likely because they are integral to Rock's (Dragon Boy) and Micky's (Queen) plans. Ep 23 will be Ahu's origin story but keep in mind that a big chunk of his story was told in the first To Be Hero X concept trailer (X fighting the phobia clones). Ahu will most likely have a bigger role in the story in S2.

Although X's episode is ep 24, he technically appears in Dragon Boy's and Ahu's episodes. And we already learned bits and pieces about X in the shows concept and character trailers. Most likely ep 24 will be a set up for S2 and S2 is where you will learn more about X.

The director of the show is Li Haoling and he likes to keep things suspenseful until the very end. Look at Link Click, you don't learn about Lu Guang (one of the main characters of the show) until S3.

this!! if you've watched his works before you know well you need to wait for the best parts

even in the other to be hero, which are more comedic, they turn serious later. I know most people don't bother to check those because it's not related to this one, but it helps to learn how crazy it can get.

Great action episode from start to finish. Seeing X's full introduction explains where most budget went. Music fits well, except weird choice to put hip-hop track in Nice's inner moral monologue. Knowing writers, there has to be something else than Smile's death that pushes Nice off the building. We'll see what else gets revealed in the last 2 episodes of this chaotic season.
