The episode 5 of To Beo X , released on May 3, presents another hero who is part of the group of the tentest ten. The episode focused on characters Yang Cheng and E-Soul, the hero who occupies the 9th position in the ranking, signaling a change in protagonism and driving Lin Ling's focus away.
The introduction of e-support does not seem to be by chance, since in addition to the anime presenting the heroes following the order of the ranking, he was apparently responsible for attacking Xiao Yueqing. Therefore, despite changing the main character, the narrative seems to have a connection with the end of the previous episode.
To be hero x brings a character with the same purpose as Lin Ling
Like Lin Ling, all Yang Cheng wants is to become a hero. However, since their parents have died, their confidence rate is zero. The boy dreams of being like e-soul, as the hero saves him as a child and becomes a reference to him. In this way, the character starts to interpret e-soul in a children's theater in the hope of one day to find him.
In one of his performances, Yang Cheng meets a little boy who, despite his strong temperament, helps him improve his performance as e-support. The child, who is called Pomelinho and is even the brother of the girl the protagonist likes, begins to spend more time with the actor.
Also, in the episode, while trying to improve his uniform for performances, Yang Cheng vents on the difficulty of living without confidence points in a world where someone else's recognition is everything. This theme is very recurrent in to be Hero X, as the points have direct connection with the conquest of powers.
After putting into practice some tips from the boy, Yang Cheng participates in a contest in which the best interpretation of e-support will win. However, because he has no confidence rate, he does not win the competition. Frustrated with the situation, the character gives up trying to find e-soul or being like him. However, something unexpected, and Yang Cheng, who thought he would never be a hero, is forced to act as one.
Yang Cheng wins E-Soul's powers through Pomelinho's trust
After two deliveries, who worked for Yang Cheng's boss, receive a call asking them to deliver a person in exchange for a large amount of money, Pomelinho is kidnapped. Thus, the protagonist, who has already been saved by a hero in his past, decides to rescue the child.
With zero confidence points and no apparent power or physical strength, Yang Cheng goes after the kidnappers pedaling at high speed with his bike. This moment resembles episode 4, when Lin Ling, even without confidence points, struggles to save those who love.
The meeting between Yang Cheng and the kidnappers is the highlight of the episode. The scene of the true e-soul going to the stage for his speech mixes with the moment when the protagonist, dressed as the hero, fights for the little boy he met in his presentation. However, this is no longer a staging, Yang Cheng is no longer acting. Now he, in fact, needs to become a hero.
The kidnappers do not easily give up taking the child, they beat the protagonist without a shred of compassion. The scene combines moments from Yang Cheng's past and speeches from E-Soul's speech with the fight between the character and the two men. The highlight is the exact moment Pomel calls the protagonist of e-soul and places his confidence in him. Consequently, Yang Cheng seems to conquer the hero's powers.
The animation of this scene is impressive, especially when Pomelinho's confidence, manifested in the form of radius, travels and fills the body of Yang Cheng. The soundtrack, combined with the speech of the hero e-soul, makes the fight even more extraordinary. In the end, to make the episode even more exciting, the little boy embraces the protagonist and says that was the best presentation he has ever seen.
The open mysteries of to be hero x
To be hero x knows how to hold the public's attention. The work leaves some questions open, but that will probably be explained later. One of them is the death of Xiao Yueqing, since, it seems, the responsible is E-Soul, hero presented in the current episode.
Also, who hired the two deliveries to kidnap Pomelinho? Is there anyone behind wanting to motivate Yang Cheng to become a hero? There is also the transformation of the protagonist. In the end, he is the real e-soul and the anime will address time trip, or he only inherited the hero's powers because Pomelinho wished at the time of the fight that Yang Cheng was the same e-soul?
There is still much to explore in the narrative. To Be Hero X is following a very interesting path that, despite the protagonist change, everything that has happened so far has probably connection with the next episodes.
