To be hero x is the type of anime that will hardly make you bored. In addition to the episode finals, which are not always what they seem, the narrative surprises. However, the tension present in the life of heroes seems to be recurring in each of the chapters. The difficulty is not about facing dangers and risking one's life, but because, in the world they live in, their powers and actions are based on the trust and will of the public.

In the last episode, we met a hero who, as a result of fans' desire, always remained standing. Therefore, he faced several uncomfortable situations in his daily life, such as not being able to sleep properly.

In addition, there is Xiao Yueqing, who also had his personal desires inhibited by the will of the public, who wanted her and Nice to always remain together. This way, your teleportation device did not work for places far from the hero.

To be hero x brings lin ling to the spotlight of the narrative

From the first episode, we knew that the real Nice had died, and that Lin Ling replaced him. The boy gradually became more and more like the hero, as the public's confidence was now directed at him. However, during the episodes, it is evident that he has doubts whether or not he is on the right track.

At the beginning of episode 4 , released on April 26, Nice tries to save Xiao Yueqing, which, it seems, was kidnapped by Enlightenment. However, fans ask him not to fall into the villain's provocation and want him not to rescue the girl. With this, Nice finds a huge difficulty leaving the tower, but even so, he does not give up and uses all his strength to try to save her.

While Nice does everything to overcome fans' control in her body, the company sends the crushing hero to defeat the Enlightenment. The villain, who aims to unmask all heroes, reveals that overwhelming was no one before gaining his powers.

The scene mixes the hero's past with the conflict between him and the Enlightenment. In addition, fighting movements are fluid and dynamic, and there is the use of effects that make the moment even more immersive. However, it is the struggle between Nice and the villain who really deserves prominence in this episode.

With all the confusion, Nice loses some of the public's confidence and returns to his true appearance. Going against all those who want him to remain in the tower, the hero uses his last remnant of strength to leave. The moment Lin Ling can leave the place and runs to get to Xiao Yueqing is magnificent.

While the boy crosses the crowd, without anyone recognizing him as the person who, minutes earlier, had the look of Nice, some flashbacks of the moments lived alongside Xiao Yueqing complement the scene.

The struggle between Lin Ling and the Enlightenment is simply amazing. The soundtrack, the character's perseverance and the animation make the experience unforgettable. Moreover, at certain times in the scene, the anime takes a very similar aesthetics with comics, where there is the use of striking textures and traits.

With his persistence and desire to save those who love, Lin Ling conquers the public and encourages an entire crowd to cheer for his victory. Thus, Ling returns to 10th position in the ranking of heroes, but now, without having to assume someone else's identity.

At the end of the episode, it is revealed that Xiao Yueqing was not kidnapped. The Enlightenment had only created a trap for Nice. With this, knowing that the girl is still on the island, Lin Ling looks for the teleporter she left behind and will find her.

The final scene, once again, is surprising, as someone appears on the island and apparently kills the character. However, in to Be Hero x nothing is what it seems, and this is one of the strengths of the work. Previously, we have been fooled about the death of Xiao Yueqing, and this leaves an open question: was that really the end of the character?

Lin Ling's decision to abandon Nice's identity, the evolution of the character until he becomes one of the ten most powerful heroes, the action scenes and the soundtrack are reasons that consolidate the 4th episode as one of the best so far. In addition, they reinforce to be Hero X as one of the best anime of the season.
