To Be Hero X is a new generation Chinese animation that has recently been gaining popularity because of its unique world-building and interesting story. Bilibili has also done an incredible job in animating it because the animation is fluid, and the overall color scheme is vibrant.

After successfully releasing season 1 of To Be Hero X, the creator has revealed fascinating news for fans that will directly allow them to take part in the making of Season 2. On 6th April, 2025, the official website has reopened a chance for fans of this series to make a difference for the upcoming story.

This is a fitting marketing strategy that is parallel to the universe of To Be Hero X. As their world has a unique system of turning anyone into a hero by gaining trust points. The creators have smartly taken their story and allow fans to actively participate. As viewers, we have a golden opportunity to support our favorite character by voting for them, and that would determine how the story of the next season would play out.

The To Be Hero X community is excited to take part in this interactive event in hopes of pushing their characters to get the spotlight. They enjoy feeling like part of the story, cheering on their favorite character as if in a real tournament. However, there is a common worry amongst the fans that the well-written characters should win, not just the most popular ones.


The tournament arc and the power of popularity

As we know, season 2 is building up to the Tournament Arc in To Be Hero X, of all the Top 10 heroes. According to the official website, it is confirmed that their performance in the tournament determines their new Trust Values and their rankings. Furthermore, the producers and creators have publicly confirmed that To Be Hero X is designed to be interactive.

To put this into perspective, Nice–Lin Ling's storyline is just one piece of a larger narrative, and there is a chance for Nice to make a comeback. Meanwhile, the official sources are relentlessly working on promoting this campaign. There is no formal announcement of the Season 2 release date because the first season is currently airing. And this Top 10 popularity voting will be important for the future narrative to set.


How can you take part in the To Be Hero X event?

Fans must create or log into a Bilibili account on the official website. Then it has a set of tasks that would help an individual earn trust points. After finishing these tasks and collecting points, you may choose to give these to any character of your choice to help them rise in ranking.

Every vote contributes to a character's popularity points, and then it determines their power levels for To Be Hero X Season 2. There are tasks that an individual can only do once, and some of them are reset every day. This means that everyone gets a chance to farm these points to help their favorite character's ranking.

There are other ways to help the show. Some fans organize group voting events on Reddit and Discord, though official rules might limit multiple votes. In short, fans can turn support into screen time: every vote they cast on the official portal effectively powers up their hero in the story.


In conclusion, To Be Hero X has opened its official website for fans around the world to vote for their favorite characters, and that would determine their ranking in the upcoming season. Additionally, some of them will also get a chance to be part of its universe as the creators have offered major prizes to the winners (voters who have participated). This is a clever tactic to boost their popularity and make fans feel part of a bigger project.
