Every Number 1 Hero BEFORE X! | To Be Hero X #donghua #chineseanime #newanime #anime2025
did you know that in 2hero X we were subtly introduced to every X before the current one if you go to the minute three mark of the opening there’s a sequence starting with Esau the first ex ever transitioning between the former ex’s until the current one as one of them looks exactly like the current number six hero Johnny as his father was stated to be a previous X in his preview trailer as well as the two heroes we see during Queen’s cameo that were stated to be the top ranking heroes before falling off and Hero Smile who the current X most likely dethroned to gain the title according to his preview

Mid anime
huh, nice catch
Source?
I think Johny is number 5
It makes sense why zero was in the background since he was once x. Almost like a reminder that someone who holds the title x is a person who if turned evil is a threat to all of humanity.
So when they introduce every arcs of 10 heros and in end we have to give vote who will be the top 10 heoros.
If they play their cards right, To Be Hero X has the potential to be a looooong running series. Theres just so much potential.
Just imagine heroes from one punch man being powered by trust 😮
yea but if every no1 hero is called X whats their normal hero name?
Who is the main character of this show? Is there none? Is it just the story of each hero in this series?
Why does every superhero anime have some sort of ranking system?
I definitely think the current X is the most powerful.
i think the new x is gonna be the winner of the tournament (if its not i am just guessing i have no other info other than the anime)
If only they make like introduce the character then we can self vote the other heroes that never been in top 10 would be nice like Lingling then maybe next other hero to be in top 10
It´s funny and curious that in X´s pv is stated that X got his title after dethroning Smile by sending him to the moon when his battle just started.
China stepping up huge in recent years. Just let go of that 3d thing and focus on this animation style.
If you going to say that then the current "Hero X" is the 8th generation from "E-Soul" being the first Hero X to the current "Hero X" 6 heroes appeared totaling 8 heroes
E-Soul
Red Hair guy
Old man with white orbs
The Cowboy guy
The Cowboy girl flame finger gun
The golden guy like superman
The Valkyrie Axe Girl
The Shadowy guy standing on the cube stage.
lastly the current Hero X
but in the snap, the Villain that makes E-Soul number 1 and Hero X also appeared.
Not all X, other than current X not one has been in position of X for more than 2 Years, so there are total 19 X so far.
X story is definitely just him being a nobody guy who got to rank 10 then went in the tournament as a rookie but he somehow was able to beat Queen and Smile in that tournament single handedly, In EP 10 Queen was said to be defeated by a nobody hero in the tournament and they showed a silhouette of X, while in X pv we see a press conference of Smile talking about when he fought X in the tournament and when X snapped his fingers they were teleported in the moon. It seems that X story is going to be similar to The Commoner (Lin Ling) with some twists because X actually knows what's happening in the story itself like everything, X knows that some of the heroes are just being manipulated by their contractors.
Queen was dethroned by X btw
