Episode 10 of To Be Hero X , released on June 7th, marks the final episode of the Lucky Cyan arc and reveals the truth behind the plane crash and explains the reason for the character's luck. After learning about the protagonist's past, the audience feels an uncontrollable rage, and Cyan's credibility drops dramatically. Furthermore, people are consumed by fear particles and lose control of their bodies.
At the beginning of the episode, after hearing that Luo had died, Cyan decides to go to the orphanage to confirm the veracity of the information. However, the director appears and blames the girl for all the misfortunes that have befallen the orphanage since she left. He even claims that Cyan's luck comes from other people's misfortune and explains that this is how she survived the plane crash.
Furthermore, the episode reveals that the orphanage director, in the previous episode, whispered in Luo's ear that Cyan was on the same plane as his parents. The boy, distraught by the news, is consumed by fear particles and succumbs to hatred. According to the explanation presented on the anime's official website, "Fear particles are substances containing negative energy and are released by the human body when a person is frightened. When infected by these particles, abnormal changes occur in the body, and the person eventually loses consciousness." This is exactly what happened to the people at the orphanage in episode 9, and, as revealed in this episode, to other people in the region as well.
Lucky Cyan's popularity plummets
After Lucky Cyan's past is revealed, her credibility plummets. As a result, people stop believing in her and assume her luck is linked to other people's bad luck. The public believes Cyan's luck comes at a price and begins to hate her.
When Lucky Cyan is at the DOS agency, the heroine Queen, daughter of the journalist who rescued Cyan, offers a solution. Queen explains that there was a recording in progress on the plane Cyan was on, and that it was delivered to the orphanage director. With that, the protagonist decides to return to her old home to try to retrieve the recording.
Cyan recovers the flight record and gains credibility
When he arrives at the orphanage, Lucky Cyan must face the director and the people infected with fear particles. Dynamism is key to the scene, as the anime doesn't use static scenes during the conflict. Furthermore, the animation opts for strong, intense colors during the confrontation. It's common for To Be Hero X to use striking soundtracks during the characters' fights, and this episode was no exception. As Cyan faces the director, "Take Off," the protagonist's song, plays in the background, intensifying the scene.
After defeating the warden, Lucky Cyan finds Luo. The boy, infected with fear particles, tries to attack the girl. However, Cyan finds the flight log and plays it for Luo to listen to. The log reveals that the protagonist's luck stems from the trust, hope, and wishes that the passengers on board the plane, including Luo's parents, placed in her. The true reason behind Cyan's luck is sad, but it's also comforting that the passengers' wishes were granted.
The revelation of the truth causes Luo to regain consciousness. Soon after, Lucky Cyan's story is revealed to the public. This restores the protagonist's credibility and popularity, as well as Luo's friendship. Furthermore, she reaches 7th place in the hero rankings. Cyan's arc brings a happy ending for the protagonist, unlike Lin Ling and Yang Cheng's story.
The final scene of the anime shows Shang Chao's father in the place where Yang Cheng, from the E-Soul arc, used as a base when he was carrying out his hero activities.
To Be Hero X: What to expect from the next episode?
According to the published schedule, the next two episodes will focus on the Queen, the heroine who ranks second in the rankings. The first episode of the Queen arc will likely introduce the character and delve deeper into her past and the origins of her power.
To Be Hero X 's animation remains incredible. And now that it's in 2D, it's likely to encourage even more people to check out the anime. Episode 11, which marks the beginning of a new arc, will be released next Saturday, June 14th, on the Crunchyroll streaming platform, with Portuguese dubbing.
