To Be Hero X episode 11 recap
The episode began with a young girl named Liu Yuwen (Liu Zhen's daughter) taking the HAC University Entrance Exam. Although she's way younger than her peers, Liu Yuwen easily cleared the test within 30 minutes. After walking out of the hall, she met her father, Liu Zheng, and said she wanted to finish her University Education as soon as possible.
Quite so, Liu Yuwen lived up to her aim and cleared the University in two years. After that, the episode focused on Yuwen's graduation speech, where she disclosed her desire to become the number one hero, X. Although many people jeered and laughed at her resolve, Liu Yuwen remained determined.
As Hero X, she wanted to change the world and society's status quo. Interestingly, Yuwen's words resonated with women and young girls, who developed an interest in becoming heroes. Her graduation speech quickly went viral online, leading people to identify her as Hero Queen.
Eventually, the DOS agency signed her up as a hero. Although the company's employee, Ken, thought Liu Yuwen was another "delusional" person like her father, Liu Zheng, Mickey, the CEO, had faith in the girl. He felt that sometimes one needed determination rather than "skills" to attain recognition and success.
Quite so, Liu Yuwen, as the Queen, instilled a strong dose of confidence among young girls and female heroes. Likewise, Bowa, another female hero from the DOS agency, saw an increase in her Trust Value as a result of Queen's speech. She challenged the former Hero X, Extro, and defeated him to become the new X.
However, Bowa harbored angst toward Queen because Mickey indirectly wanted her to pass on her title to Queen next year. However, Queen said she didn't need anyone to "pass" their title, as it would go to her eventually. Bowa was further infuriated by Queen's overwhelming confidence. Her jealousy was born from her insecurities—something Queen didn't even care about.
Meanwhile, the episode introduced the Johnnies, who belonged to the DOS agency. A heartwarming interaction unfolded between Queen, the Johnnies, and Lucky Cyan, who had recently joined the company. Queen was also attracted to Big Johnny, who was like a "son" to Little Johnny.
Elsewhere, the news channels reported the rise of DOS, a hero agency that allowed women to have stronger and independent views. The media also informed viewers that Mr. Shand had resigned from MG and established the Treeman Agency, which focused on nurturing a new line-up of heroes.
On the other hand, Old Rock had become the new authority at the MG. Meanwhile, the episode saw Liu Yuwen, aka the Queen, participate in the Hero Tournament. While she expected to face Bowa, she saw an unfamiliar figure arrive at the arena. It was none other than Hero X, which viewers are familiar with.
Apparently, the mysterious hero had soared above the ranks, entered the top 10 in no time, and defeated Bowa in the tournament. The Queen vs. X battle lasted only a second, as the former regained consciousness to discover that she had lost. Queen went into a depression following her defeat.
Meanwhile, Bowa still harbored her angst toward Queen and wanted to bring her down. She was also overcome with negative emotions, as Fear Particles hovered around her. While Bowa was watching a comedian's viral video on Queen, she received a text from someone informing her about Queen's lineage. The episode abruptly ended with Bowa becoming surprised after discovering the identity of Queen's father.
What to expect in To Be Hero X episode 12?
According to the preview video released by the official staff, To Be Hero X episode 12 will revolve around Queen coping with her failure. Although she lost the battle against Hero X, she won't let her glory be crushed. In the meantime, Fear Particles has consumed Bowa, who now wants to battle Queen.
She doesn't want to give her title to the Queen, for which she has worked hard. To Be Hero X episode 12 will also show Little Johnny and Lucky Cyan encouraging Queen. Moreover, viewers can look forward to a captivating battle between Queen and Bowa.
