To Be Hero X

The strongest hero in the world

X is the man in the suit who took first place in the hero ranking thanks to overwhelming power. He belongs to no organisation, and everything about him remains a mystery, starting with his identity.

Personality

Calm, distant and almost always impassive, X speaks little. His detached attitude contrasts with the media frenzy surrounding the other heroes.

Powers & abilities

His trust value is the highest in the world, which gives him unrivalled strength. His fights show a power nobody can match.

History

He appeared suddenly and claimed the title of X in record time. His past and motives form the series' great mystery, revealed little by little through the other heroes' arcs.

Relationships

Every hero in the ranking is after him, such as Queen or Liang Long, who want to take his title. His link to the trust system itself is at the heart of the story.

Key moments

  • His first appearances, which establish him as an untouchable hero.
  • The moments when his identity begins to be revealed.
  • The tournament for the title of X.

In the adaptations

In Japanese he is voiced by Mamoru Miyano; in Chinese, by Wei Chao.

Did you know?

  • His name is also the title he holds: X is the rank of the number-one hero.
  • He almost always appears with a can in his hand.

Our take

X is a character built for mystery: we see him little and understand him even less, which is exactly what makes you want to watch to the end.
