According to numerous reliable reports and creator remark, To Be Hero X (also known as Tū Biên Yīngxơng X) has officially concluded its first season, and Season 2 is verified to be in progress. The Chinese donghua is one of the most ambitious entries to date in the To Be Hero anthology series. It released in April 2025 and ran through September 2025 with 24 episodes.
Li Haolin (Link Click, Heaven Official’s Blessing) is the director of the series, which is co-produced by BeDream, Bilibili, and Aniplex. Several companies handled the animation, which influenced the series’ visual style and production schedule.
To Be Hero X Season 2 Release Date Speculations
To Be Hero X Season 2 has not yet been given an official release date. The continuance itself, however, is often regarded as planned rather than hypothetical. The series was initially planned as a 48-episode project divided into two seasons of 24 episodes each, according to interviews and conversations about production.
A late 2026 or early 2027 release window is the most reasonable forecast based on production complexity, multi-studio animation, and normal Donghua delays. Although some enthusiastic fans have suggested earlier dates, there hasn’t been any reliable evidence to back up a spring premiere in 2026. Season 2 is still formally “in development” and does not yet have a locked window.
To Be Hero X Season 2 Expected Cast
There have not yet been any announcements regarding the new voice cast. Key characters and heroes from Season 1 are expected to return for the continuation, given the format of the show and how it served as a broad introduction.
As a result of the series’ cross-market production and concurrent visibility on platforms like Bilibili, Crunchyroll, and Japanese TV networks, Season 1 included a mix of Chinese and Japanese voice actors. When Season 2’s marketing launches, any new cast members or role expansions will probably be made public.
To Be Hero X Season 2 Potential Plot
A fragmented superhero universe whose powers are intimately correlated with public trust, fan support, and popularity rankings was introduced in Season 1, which was purposefully constructed as setup. Moral gray areas and abrupt power shifts result from heroes rising and falling depending on perception rather than merely strength.
The Hero X competition, a major event hinted at throughout the first season, is expected to take center stage in season two. Top-ranked heroes compete for the coveted “X” title in this competition, which is likely to serve as the story’s central plot point. It’s also expected that lingering secrets from Season 1, such the true cost of hero worship, ranking manipulation, and hidden intentions, will become more apparent.
According to some sources, the tale may focus more on high-stakes conflicts and main candidates than on the more expansive ensemble strategy that was previously employed.
