To Be Hero X is a Donghua, which is the Chinese equivalent of the Japanese Anime. Currently, Season 1 is airing, but viewers can already influence how Season 2 will turn out.
What kind of series is this? To Be Hero X is set in a world where the power of superheroes increases through the trust of the people. The more people believe in them, the stronger they become. Conversely, superheroes lose their power if people no longer trust them.
In Season 1, various heroes are introduced and how public opinion can influence their powers. Every 2 years, a tournament takes place in To Be Hero X, where the top heroes compete against each other. The competition will likely be a central point in Season 2 of the series.
And if you are diligent, you can even help determine which superhero ranks at the top.

How can viewers co-determine? Anyone who creates an account on bilibili can co-determine the outcome of Season 2. Fans can complete daily tasks here, such as logging into the website, watching videos, or following certain channels.
The points that fans collect can be exchanged for votes. You can then use these votes on your favorite character to increase their strength for the next tournament.
Additionally, there is a chance for autographs, merchandise, and having your name in the credits. Winners who are especially lucky could even win a voice role for characters that can be heard in the background during the Season 1 survey.
What does the ranking look like currently? At the moment, hero Lin Ling is in first place, followed by X and Nice (as of May 21, 2025). If the positions remain the same, they will likely go far in the upcoming tournament.
The voting has been changing constantly since the start, so it is possible that the placements may still change by the end. Lin Ling in 1st place was only introduced with episode 4.
Besides the top placements, the very last place is also exciting for the storyline in Season 2. Something is supposed to happen with it, but what exactly has not yet been revealed.
Where can you watch the series? If you want to watch Season 1 of the series, you need to sign up for Crunchyroll. Currently, the first episodes are available to watch for free. For all subsequent episodes, you will need a subscription.
Besides Crunchyroll, there are other streaming services that offer numerous animes and series from China or Korea. To help you know where you can watch the series, MeinMMO has created an overview: Anime streaming in Germany: Which provider is right for me?
