To Be Hero X is an anime that raised a lot of interest in the anime community. It was made by a Chinese and Japanese team, and is part of the 'To Be Hero' series. The anime combines elements of loved shows like superhero and drama with comedy and action.

The show is the third part of the series, but has built a larger following than the first two. To Be Hero X has gained attention for its distinct story, strong visuals, and emotional moments. It especially stands out because the power system in it is very different from almost all anime out there.

The simple answer is no, To Be Hero X is not finished yet. The series is ongoing, and new episodes are still being released. Fans who have been following the story are waiting eagerly for more. Right now, the show is still building its world and characters. Another episode was released on May 18, 2025.

In every episode of To Be Hero X, viewers get to see a mix of exciting fights and deep character development. The show is set in a world where public opinion is more than just public opinion. Depending on how much people have faith in heroes, the more powerful they are. Interestingly, anyone can be a hero.

For heroes to be powerful and have superpowers, they need to collect Trust Values. This Trust Value is collected and arranged to determine the top heroes. Then, every two years, there is a tournament to determine the new rankings of the heroes. The person with the most trust is known as “X.”

Currently, there are seven episodes released since its first episode dropped on April 6, 2025. On MyAnimeList, it has a rating of 8.56/10. The concept of the public determining how powerful characters are is something different from most superhero anime. And this has played a huge role in its popularity.

The animation in To Be Hero X is another thing that makes it stand out. The team behind the anime has worked hard to make each scene look special. They are blending 2D and 3D to produce the spectacular visuals on our screens. From the first episode of the anime, the three animation studios created a visually stunning experience for viewers.

The action scenes are smooth and full of energy. The battle between Nice and Wreck from the second episode was one of the best so far. The switch from 2D to 3D made the combat sequence more enjoyable as it was dynamic. Many fans say it’s one of the best-looking shows they’ve seen in a long time.

Fans of To Be Hero X have shared their thoughts online. Most agree that the show is unlike anything else. They praise its bold style, strong writing, and the way it discusses certain themes of sacrifice and betrayal. Because of this support, the anime is likely to continue for some time.

The story of To Be Hero X is still developing. There are many hints about the main character’s past and his real goals. There are already theories as to how Nice and X could be connected. But there is no confirmation from the show yet.

This shows that the anime has a long-term story plan. It’s not the kind of show that ends in just a few episodes. And since it is an original net animation (ONA), there is no manga or light novel that one can quickly read up on to know the story. The creators are slowly giving fans more details, which keeps the suspense alive.

Another reason To Be Hero X is not finished is how the plot is structured. Each episode reveals new information or adds a twist. From the looks of it, each set of episodes focuses on a character. Episodes 1 to 4 were Nice’s character arc, with 5 to 7 being for E-Soul.

With its great animation, strong characters, and powerful storytelling, it is no surprise that fans want more. Anyone who enjoys anime with emotion and action should keep watching and stay tuned for what’s next.
