Following this, Mickey shows Cyan the new costume and equipment the agency has prepared for her, including a few modifications to her guitar. The CEO states the new guitar is exceptional in sound quality and is equipped with the latest technology to accommodate and amplify her abilities.
Mickey then asks Cyan whether she likes her new "Image."According to Ken in To Be Hero X episode 10, the audience prefers more independent and self-sufficient women. Therefore, the DOS agency wants to replace Cyan's passive image as the Sacred Maiden with an "energetic battle angel with love of music."
She is advertised as someone who brings fortune through her songs. Meanwhile, everything becomes slightly overwhelming for Cyan. As she fidgets, her guitar transforms into a bow. Mickey says the guitar isn't only an instrument for playing music; it's also a custom weapon.
Cyan appears concerned because she doesn't have any battle experience. Ken assures her that they will set up mock training sessions for her. In fact, they are confident of transforming Cyan into a real hero in no time. That said, Mickey advises her not to bring up her past, as words can influence society.
Following this, the narrative for To Be Hero X episode 10 shifts to Lucky Cyan, stopping by the orphanage while returning from her latest concert. She encounters the dean, who wonders whether her conscience has finally led her to confront her past. The dean states that the orphanage has been a victim of misfortune following Cyan's exit.
People have stopped coming by, and the children don't have enough food to eat. Cyan says she is ready to fix everything. However, the dean doesn't need her pity. At this moment, Cyan asks the dean if she could meet Luo once, as she refuses to believe the common narrative that he is dead. Yet, the dean suggests she forget him, as his existence would only be a burden to her current identity.
Following this, To Be Hero X episode 10 delves into a flashback and reveals what the dean had said to Luo that changed him so much. Apparently, Luo's parents were among the passengers who lost their lives in the plane crash. The dean told him that Cyan's good fortune came at the price of others.
The revelation shocked Luo, as he believed Cyan stole her parents' fortune to be the only survivor. Meanwhile, Lucky Cyan's background gets exposed, leading to a series of controversies and negative press. Many of her former followers lash out, causing an aura of anxiety and negative emotions to spread in the form of fear particles.
The orphanage becomes the epicenter of misfortune, as cases of food poisoning are reported. The entire District 70 becomes affected by the negative emotions of people, who condemn Lucky Cyan's "Luck." Those emotions also consume the dean, who turns into a grotesque figure - a nemesis for Lucky Cyan. Meanwhile, Lucky Cyan's Trust Value continues plummeting.
Ken and the DOS agency's CEO, Mickey, are concerned about the whole affair. Cyan feels they should hold a press conference, where she can tell the truth to everyone. Mickey questions the truth, since all the rumours about her past are true. At this moment, in To Be Hero X episode 10, Queen appears at the office.
Lucky Cyan feels sorry for Queen, who has recently lost in a tournament against X. She is apologetic for not bringing Luck to her side. Queen feels it's fine since Lucky Cyan's songs have uplifted her mood and given her the courage. She also reveals a way to fix Cyan's hero career.
According to Queen in To be Hero X episode 10, the center of all the discourse is the plane crash; It has opened a collective wound in people's hearts. That's why it's imperative they explain the source of Lucky Cyan's powers. Apparently, her father collected a pendrive, containing the recording of the onboard flight, and gave it to the dean.
That recording could reveal the truth about Cyan's source of power. Hearing this, Lucky Cyan wants to return to the orphanage and collect the pendrive. The CEO doesn't stop Cyan, as he believes it's their best chance of turning the tables.
To Be Hero X episode 10: The truth about Cyan's powers and Luo's parents' death
After getting Mickey's nod of approval in To Be Hero X episode 10, Lucky Cyan embarks on a mission to expose the truth. She equips her rollerskates and heads to the epicentre of all misery - the Orphanage. However, the entire District 70 is enveloped in misfortune. Yet, Cyan's newfound powers turn those misfortunes into good fortune.
Elsewhere, in To Be Hero X episode 10, Liu Zheng converses with DOS's CEO, Mickey, about the power "Fear" brings. He never thought a short speech during a concert would cause a huge mess. It has also caused Fear to erupt in District 70. Mickey states that Fear has always lurked, and that Cyan has only gave it an opportunity to bloom.
Meanwhile, Lucky Cyan finally enters the orphanage and finds its inhabitants possessed by some weird substance. She transforms her guitar into a bow and shoots down those objects to free people from their possession. Eventually, she faces the dean, whose appearance has changed to that of a monstrous being.
The dean's invisible grasps are also strengthened due to the Fear Particles. However, Lucky Cyan uses a type of repellent against the dean's powers. Finally, she leaps into the air and strikes down the dean with her guitar. After subduing her opponent, Cyan enters the dean's office and collects the pendrive she was looking for.
However, on her way out, she confronts Luo, who harbors deep animosity toward her. Luo has forgotten the happy moments he shared with Cyan. Instead, he is consumed by hatred, fear, and "misfortune." He accuses Cyan of robbing his parents' lives. Although Cyan wants a chance to explain, Luo doesn't care to listen.
Cyan sees a computer nearby and plugs in the pendrive. However, Luo demolishes the machine and goes after Cyan with his powers of Misfortune. At this moment, in To Be Hero X episode 10, Lucky Cyan takes out the marble that Luo once used to help her break the curse of her fortune. She throws it at Luo to do the same.
Interestingly, the marble strikes the fire extinguisher, which activates water sprinklers on the ceiling. By a stroke of luck, the water turns on the computer and projects the visuals from the pendrive. According to To Be Hero X episode 10, the plane's passengers, including Luo's parents, had blessed the girl with good luck. They hoped for a miracle that the girl would survive for their sake.
The collective wish endowed Cyan with the power of good fortune. That's how she survived - not by stealing others' luck, but by the powers of collective blessings. Seeing the truth with his own eyes, Luo breaks down in tears. He extends his arm and reconciles with Cyan.
Meanwhile, in To Be Hero X episode 10, the truth about Cyan's source of strength changes people's hearts. She begins to see an influx of followers, who contribute to her Trust Value. As a result, Cyan shoots up to rank 7 in no time. On the other hand, the orphanage, which was previously plagued with misfortune, reopens.
At the same time, the recent incident has implicated the existence of a force contradicting Trust. The scene shifts to a conference, where Liu Zheng tells Mickey that he was right to have trusted him. He feels they were destined to run into the Good Luck after all.
However, Mickey states they shouldn't let their guard down, as they aren't the only ones looking into Fear. To Be Hero X episode 10 ends with Shang Chao's father entering the warehouse that once belonged to his son for his E-Soul business. It appears he has a deep connection to the advent of Fear.
Conclusion
