To Be Hero X is an original net animation (ONA) directed by Li Haoling and is set within the same universe as his previous works, To Be Hero (2016) and To Be Heroine (2018).

These rankings are integral, as every two years, a tournament is held to determine the “top heroes.”

The focus of the series is on character X, who possesses the highest Trust Value, thereby crowned as the “Ultimate Hero.”The narrative promises to delve deep into the intricate power dynamics among heroes within a society that continuously evolves.
