Half of the ep was X showcasing his super powers.
I don’t know why, but the ending scene where top 10 heroes showed up in the tournament made me teary a bit. It’s also interesting to see their 3D looks.

Did Nice have to be resurrected and continue to work for the capitalist? Talk about irony! That being said, he’s one of the characters who are well portrayed in this show. So I’m really looking forward to what he’s gonna do in S2. Side note, If we need to add a subtitle to S1, it could be “The Mystery of Nice’s Suicide”, lol.

E-Soul was pushed out of the top 10 rankings despite of all the dirty work he did. Serves him right.

I have to say that this is my most favorite anime of the season, or even the year maybe, which was totally unexpected when I started to watch it. Hero theme is not my cup of tea. If not for all the hypes online, I would have definitely missed this show. And honestly the 1st ep was so-so to me. But the 2nd ep really hooked me up. I was quite intrigued by the trust value system which is not common in the shows with hero theme.
The Queen & Loli arcs were the weaker ones causing the show to lose some popularity. The creator is obviously weak at portraying good female characters than male characters. Fortunately, it got better again since the Ghostblade arc.

I had been hesitated throughout the journey whether I should rate the show an 8 or a 9. The finale helped me to make up my mind. I’ll give it a solid 9/10. Hopefully we won’t wait too long for S2.

Bro ain't no way all the buildup, only for us to miss out on the tournament. There gotta be a sequel or a movie just for the top 10 ranking fights right?

RIGHT?

I hope someone can explain X’s words to me in detail.

1. Was Zero a good person, and did the hero agencies eliminate him just to promote themselves, then distort history and convince the world that Zero was evil?


2. What did X mean when he mentioned the topic of fate and the coin specifically? Does he mean that all the heroes influenced each other, just like X influenced Shiyan and Ghost Blade influenced Joni’s life? Did X not want to be a hero, but because of that girl, fate made him become one?

@maryam_rma77 to answer the first question, no. zero was not a good person. at first yeah, he was saving ppl & doing the classic hero stuff but as he got stronger he basically became a dictator. "listen to me or I will kill u" & so he kept killing heroes left, right & center cuz they didnt ego boost him & that made everyone who trusted him start to fear him.

@IFW_Bleach So what exactly did X mean by changing history in your understanding?

Maybe what he meant is that the false narrative is that Zero is evil, while in fact he wasn't evil and was just killed as corporate propaganda.

This is how you do a hero show. Japan and Hollywood should take notes. I wasn't a big fan of all the arcs in the middle, but the show had a clear, cohesive and well planned narrative from start to finish, a rare sight in modern tv shows. I'm also happy they didn't reveal too much about Mr. X. He should remain an enigma.

There's no fucking shot anyone is ever touching X in the rankings bro, realistically speaking. I love Lin Ling, Queen, Lucky Cyan, Ghostblade and the rest of em, but there's no way they're touching X anymore. X is the most aura-est farmer to have aura farmed.

The Nice suffering never ends, bro is staying alive out of scraps, paper mache and prayers.

E-bum didn't make it to the top 10 lmao. Love you Yang Cheng, but that's fucking hilarious.

Also that special OP ED, what the actual fuck, THE TEASE IS CRAZY.

This is definitely one of the best shows I've watched, not only is it a really unique experience, it also has a compelling and well written story along with it.

Great ep

Nah, they really jumped X the entire ep, but bro's aurafarm is simply too strong for them.

Yup, X's powers probably is "changing reality"/

Does this mean Ghostblade made it in time to stop E-Soul or sum??

The cultivation of the events was pretty cool, but watching the guys return to 3D was the most lit part.

Loved the op as well, s2 focusing mainly on X?

9.5/10

To be a Hero X ends with over-the-top recap and summary of everything happened this season. Ahu the Dawg tracks down X's secret identity, which means it's matter of minutes before corpo hero agencies catch up. X has no other choice, but to flee his apartment and take talking dogo with him. During chaotic, visually crazy night trip our mysterious hero explains lore and plot details. Show ends with the reveal of top 10 tourney participants in full 3D (including Nice who turned out to be alive after all!).
Great ambitious show with plenty of interesting characters, story moments and top tier animation. Music could've been better, especially in Lucky Cyan arc. Singing character is where the composer should put maximum effort. If she sang those songs in Macross universe, humanity would've lost. Let's put it that way. Also, would love to see show focus on a smaller number of characters. When you have so many people involved, the show becomes harder to follow. Despite the tremendous effort put into hero introduction arcs, I feel like it's only an appetizer for the epic anime battles in season 2.

After the initial three episodes, the series went into a noticeable decline, though some intriguing characters occasionally reignited my excitement. Still, up until this last episode, it failed to consistently make me want to watch it week by week. If this episode hadn't been the season finale, it definitely would have made me eager to wait a whole week for the next one.

I love this show so much. This was the perfect way to end season 1 and I couldn't think any better. We literally got everything connected. Sure, I like other arcs than others, but this is just peak. Anime of the year for me. My favorite arcs are E-Soul, Ahu, and X. This show has literally out done my expectations for future anime especially super hero anime. MHA and One Punch Man can't even compare to this peak anime.

Can we just take a minute to say X is the strongest anime character. Think about it, he can destroy anyone that come across him. Goku, Saitama, Zeno, Ryuk, etc can't even come close because he can just get away by snapping his fingers. I do wonder if X is the one people start to wonder who can beat him.

10/10 for this peak just one complaint and that is I wish there was more CGI animation instead of this weird 2D look that most of the arcs follow. I don't like the look of the 2D animation and wish most arcs were 3D animation. I do hope season 2 fixes this problem.

I do wonder if the characters of To Be Hero and To Be Heroine will show up because it could be cool to see.
@Camoboi1 Bro, what are you talking about? If X can only use his powers by snapping his fingers he would die to literally anyone that can kill him faster than he snaps and Saitama, Goku, etc. are all fast enough to pull that off. No need to get crazy in comparing powers of characters like that lol.

You guys are looking at the ranking too much. E soul not being in the tournament looks to me like an intentional setup for Rock to plot some villainous act.

It was always meant to happen. In regards tothe online vote. It should be note that they never removed Nice from getting votes since the start even after adding Lin Ling.

If they had intended to end the character it would have made more sense to merge his votes with LL. But that was never the case from the beginning.
@G_Aker @zxean @ROVI65

The way I interpret ROVI65's concerns is that if hero rankings are based on trust value how did Nice retain enough trust after his trust was transferred to Ling Ling to qualify? Maybe the commission intervened somehow to push him through, but barring some kind of manipulation like that it doesn't make sense for Nice to have enough trust to be top 10 right now.

This was part of my concern with reviving him in the first place to appear in the top 10, in addition to the other concerns I already laid out. It doesn't make sense given the known rules of the tournament so it requires some sort of massaging of the plot to justify it.

I'm really curious to see if X came from an alternate universe much like the multiple universes that exist in the MCU or if he time traveled. The updated OP they used at the end seems to hint very strongly towards 1 of those 2 theories given that we don't see those other 2 characters he was shown fighting with anywhere in the current timeline we have been shown.

If so, I hope they do an alternate universe because if he time traveled back it will be much harder to justify him doing jack squat about Rock and Zero for so many years. If it's an alternate universe it gives more leeway for him to figure out the differences between the two worlds as he gathers more heroes to his side for this future conflict.

Those 2 theories have been speculated for X since the beginning given what we have seen of his powers to explain how he gathered so much trust value without anyone knowing who the heck he is.

I was a little worried before this episode after seeing his PV that they might feed us some BS about "all the belief of the workers of the world went to this 1 worker" as some kind of communist propaganda but that seems less likely now and more likely just a character trait regarding his work ethos.

Damn the new opening have many mysteries, cant wait for season 2!


I wonder who is this, looks like someone from X's past. Will X's past also tragic like other heroes?

My take on this is she’s Fate whose power is in Tarot cards we’ve been seeing all along. Started out as friend and now foe.

This show had peaks really high, I'm leaning towards a 10/10, but a couple of arcs were just mediocre.

I can't freaking decide. I'll have to let some time pass before I score.

they rly went out with a bang for first season ending. X easily became my favorite character there now. Also that at the end could it be X's girlfriend, I hope nothing bad happened to her and she is somewhere safe maybe, or maybe something happened making him wanna start path of a hero and justice.

I don't like how Queen and Cyan look in 3D, definitely way weaker and worse look, but I can't complain about that now.

Also they showed E-soul killing Moon again so it looks like it rly did happen 😭 and Nice looks so soulless at the probably cuz he lost her for real, was hoping it was like a dream or vision again back then, big props to Ghostblade for trying to stop him, but didn't make it in time sadly. I still hope they somehow saved her, maybe he manage to absorb the shot a bit instead of her back then and she is just kept safe somewhere, can't wait to see what happens in s2, I just want happy end for Nice and Moon, they are my favorite couple, love the new opening shown at the end.

Now that I think about it X said he is going to defy fate so maybe in some way he can reverse all the bad things that happened to our top 10 heroes saving them and their loved ones in the end, that would be crazy and happy ending. His power is already insane so I bet he could do it somehow.

What a hook, what a cliffhanger. I wasn't much fond of the latest seasons of Link Click, but damn they cooked hard with To Be Hero X. Not just cool fights and interesting characters, but ssstyle, so much style. Definitely a universe worth exploring. Can't wait for season 2

@JayDaAnimeLord Well, basically, I called it before. He's playing with the ACTUAL Multi-verse, thus the coin & finger snaps. It's just taking random probabilities/patterns & making them REAL for him. And anything he chooses. You cannot get a more broken power. LOL
